2018 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Shareholders, Customers and Friends:

Med  Jones,  an  American  economist  and  President  of  the  International  Institute  of 
Management, once said, “Transformation does not happen by learning new information. It 
happens  when  you  change  how  you  view  and  react  to  other  people,  events  and  things 
around you.” 

In 2018, we began redesigning our view for FNCB and how we can transform the banking 
experience by changing how we react to the ever-evolving needs of our shareholders and 
customers.  Early  in  the  year,  through  the  collaborative  efforts  of  the  entire  management 
team,  we  refreshed  our  mission,  vision  and  value  statements  to  better  communicate  our 
objectives,  our  approach  in  reaching  those  objectives  and  our  desired  future  position  for 
FNCB. Our new mission is “to make your banking experience simply better.”  We understand 
to effectively deliver this mission, it must span across each of our business units and become 
the mantra for every employee. We believe through the pervasiveness of our mission, we can 
achieve  our  vision  “to  be  a  growing,  independent  community  bank,  helping  people, 
businesses and investors reach their financial goals.”

Additionally,  during  2018,  we  re-branded  FNCB  with  a  new  logo  to  solidify  and  better 
embody our new mission. The new logo includes a three-part shield in the center of a circle 
to  provide  a  visual  of  the  growth,  strength  and  protection  we  provide  for  our  customer’s 
financial well-being and for the communities we serve. The new logo includes the tag line 
“Simply better” to further complement and reinforce our mission statement.

Transforming the Shareholder Experience 

At the end of 2017, we announced FNCB filed a listing application to join The Nasdaq Stock 
Market LLC (Nasdaq). We subsequently received approval on February 26, 2018 and FNCB’s 
common  stock  began  trading  on  the  Nasdaq  Capital  Market®  with  the  opening  bell  on 
Monday, March 5, 2018. Additionally, effective June 25, 2018, FNCB was added as a member 
of the Russell Microcap® Index. The transition from trading on the OTCQX to Nasdaq and 
inclusion in the Russell Microcap® Index has proven to provide greater visibility of our stock 
and trading liquidity for our shareholders.

In  addition, 

The average number of shares traded per day 
increased  24.7%  to  7,533  shares  in  2018  from

the 
percentage of total shares held by institutional 
investors  increased  to  6.17%  at  December  31,

Furthermore, we believe the move to Nasdaq 
will  facilitate  more  efficient  access  to  capital 
markets to support our continued growth.

Following the transition to Nasdaq, FNCB partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions and 
migrated its shareholder services platform including all shareholder communications and 
transfer  agent  services  to  a  global  leader  in  this  arena.  The  migration  was  seamless  and 
provides  our  shareholders  with  enhanced  customer  service,  including  access  to  an 
FNCB-branded  call  center  staffed  by  highly-trained  professionals  and  an  intuitive,  online 
platform to directly and efficiently manage their investment in FNCB.

Transforming the Banking Experience

Beginning  in  2017,  we  embarked  on  a  network  improvement  program.  As  part  of  this 
program,  management  conducted  a  comprehensive  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  all 
retail  delivery  channels  including,  retail  branches,  ATM  locations  and  online  and  mobile 
platforms,  as  well  as  administrative  facilities  and  operational  platforms  and  processes. 
Management  then  formulated  courses  of  action  that  encompassed  several  key  strategic 
pillars  with  the  overarching  goal  of  bringing  the  bank  to  the  customer.  These  courses  of 
action  focused  on  enhancing  customer  experience,  attracting,  retaining  and  growing 
customer  relationships,  driving  organization-wide  process  efficiency  and  productivity  and 
preventing fraud through safeguarding customer information.

Transforming the Customer Experience

In 2018, we began the process of transforming from a traditional branch staffing model to the 
“Universal Banker” model. This transformation combines the roles of teller and CSR into a single 
“Personal  Banker”  role.    These  individuals  are  cross-trained  to  perform  efficiently  in  a 
multifunctional role with a primary focus on building strong customer relationships and using 
consultative sales techniques. Along with the changes to staff, we are incorporating the new 
branding and establishing a more 
relaxed,  café-like  branch  image 
designed to provide a welcoming 
atmosphere.  Additionally,  we  are 
including  new  technologies  such 
as cash recyclers, Wi-Fi, and digital 
select

We  also  completed  final  enhancements  to  our  entire  automated  teller  machine  (ATM) 
network in 2018 including the replacement of all existing ATMs with the newest generation 
machines.  These  new  ATMs  are  equipped  with  the  latest  anti-fraud  and  anti-skimming 
technology to better safeguard sensitive customer information, as well as the capability to 
directly image all deposit transactions thereby creating internal process efficiencies. 

In the third quarter of 2018, we rolled out a bank-wide customer relationship management 
(CRM)  system.  The  new  CRM  system  provides  us  with  tools  to  enhance  customer  service, 
grow market share and facilitate cross-sales opportunities and collaboration between retail 
and  commercial  business  units.  As  we  continue  to  develop  and  expand  the  CRM  system,

Finally,  we  began 
the  process  of 
transforming  customer  products  with  the 
launch of a new line of relationship products 
designed  to  provide  enhanced  benefits  to 
customers who choose FNCB Bank as their 
primary  financial  institution.    Relationship 
customers are rewarded with premium rates 
on money markets and CDs plus numerous 
additional benefits. The relationship product 
suite is intended to establish a strong bond 
with  customers  that  results  in  a  lasting 
relationship throughout their life stages.

Transforming Our Branch Network

During  the  second  quarter  of  2018,  we  opened  a  brand  new,  state-of-the-art  community 
office  located  on  Rt.  315  in  the  Richland  Development,  Plains  Township,  Luzerne  County, 
Pennsylvania. The new branch is the first to feature the personal banker model and a more 
relaxed  café-like  branch  atmosphere.  As  part  of  this  opening,  we  were  able  to  effectively 
reduce overhead costs by consolidating three existing branches located within six miles into 
this new location. 

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed the relocation of our Back Mountain Community 
Office  to  a  new  office  located  at  196  North  Main  Street,  Shavertown,  Luzerne  County, 
Pennsylvania.  The  new  facility  provides  customers  with  easier  accessibility  and  provides  us 
with greater retail and commercial visibility. 

Looking ahead to 2019, in the second quarter, we plan to open a de novo branch in a facility 
located at 360 South Mountain Boulevard, Mountain Top, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania that 
we purchased at the end of 2018. In addition, we are excited to announce that construction 
is  underway  on  our  new  state-of-the-art  main  office  located  at  100  South  Blakely  Street, 
Dunmore, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. We received regulatory approval and plan to 
relocate  our  main  office  currently  located  directly  across  the  street.  The  relocation  is 
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019 and will provide customers with 
better access to the branch and increased parking.

We  are  also  evaluating  the  development  of  a  new  state-of-the-art  facility  on  a  property 
already owned by FNCB located in Taylor Borough, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, as well 
as potential locations to expand our branch network into the Lehigh Valley market area of 
Pennsylvania.

Transforming How We Bring the Bank to the Customer

“Bringing  the  Bank  to  the  Customer”  addresses  the  evolution  of  customer  expectations  of 
speed, ease of use, and convenience for their banking needs. In addition, rapid changes are 
occurring  within  the  banking  industry  as  Fintech  is  changing  not  only  how  customers 
interact  with  banks  but  also  bringing  new  players  into  the  financial  services  sector  that 
directly compete for deposits, loans, money transfer, and wealth management solutions. 

We must continually evolve with the customer. Recognizing this, we are employing several 
strategies in the technology arena.  In 2018, we began offering online account opening and 
loan  applications.    Early  in  2019,  we  launched  an  “online  only”  savings  account  giving  us 
access to deposits in markets where we currently have no brick and mortar presence. 

implementation 

Additional  initiatives  that  we  are  currently 
include  a 
evaluating  for 
website  redesign,  e-receipts,  P2P  payment 
systems  such  as  Zelle,  Apple  Pay  and 
Samsung  Pay,  online  loan  payments,  and 
electronic loan billing and notice delivery. 

We  also  offer  a  Workplace  Banking  program 
that is an important initiative in “Bringing the 
Bank to the Customer.” The program focuses 
on  establishing  strong  relationships  with  a 
company’s human resources department and 
working  with  them  to  customize  a  banking 
package  specific  to  their  organization  with 
the  ability  to  offer  it  as  a  benefit  to  their 
employees.

Transforming Our Communities

As a community bank we believe it is our responsibility to help transform the communities 
we  serve  and  help  them  grow  and  prosper.  With  a  distinguished  history  of  community 
involvement, FNCB Bank has always made a local impact, and 2018 was no different.  We 
dedicated our resources, both people and financial, to help make the places where we live 
and work better, not only for current generations, but also for generations yet to come. 

During  2018,  we  donated  more  than  $450,000  to  over  200  community  organizations 
involved  in  a  wide  variety  of  activities,  including  veteran’s  services,  affordable  housing, 
community  development,  education,  senior  citizens,  cultural  enrichment  and  women’s 
issues.

Likewise,  FNCB  Bank  employees  provided  leadership,  monetary  support,  and  countless 
volunteer hours to many exceptional organizations in all the communities we serve. From 
sorting  clothes  at  a  baby  pantry,  to  working  the  overnight  shift  at  a  women’s  shelter,  to 
walking in a benefit 5K or feeding the homeless, our employees made an immediate and 
transformative impact on the organizations and people we reached.

2018 Financial Results

We are very pleased with our operating performance and balance sheet growth in 2018. The 
solid results reflected the ongoing efforts of the entire FNCB team focused on organic loan 
and core deposit growth, funding cost management and controlling non-interest expense. 
We  experienced  strong  demand  for  loans  and  deposits  and  were  able  to  grow  interest 
revenue  and  maintain  our  net  interest  margin  in  2018  amid  what  proved  to  be  a  very 
challenging interest rate environment characterized by rising interest rates, a flattened yield 
curve and highly competitive marketplace. 

Net  income  was  $13.3  million,  or  $0.79  per  basic 
and  diluted  share,  in  2018  compared  to  $0.1 
million,  or  $0.01  per  basic  and  diluted  share,  in 
2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, FNCB and the 
Bank and its former insurance company resolved 
a long-standing dispute by entering into a mutual 
release  of  all  claims,  which  resulted  in  FNCB 
recognizing  an  insurance  recovery  after  related 
expenses  of  $6.0  million  in  2018.  Return  on 
average 
average 
shareholders’  equity  were  1.09%  and  15.38%  in 
2018,  respectively,  compared  to  0.01%  and  0.15%,  respectively  in  2017.  FNCB  declared  and 
paid  cash  dividends  to  shareholders  of  $0.17  per  share  in  2018,  an  increase  of  30.8% 
compared to $0.13 per share in 2017. Dividends paid in 2018 equated to a dividend yield of 
approximately  2.01%  based  on  the  closing  stock  price  of  $8.44  per  share  at  December  31, 
2018.  The  increase  in  earnings  reflected  a  decrease  in  income  tax  expense,  coupled  with 
increases in both net interest income and non-interest income. These positive factors were 
partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and non-interest expense. 

return  on 

assets 

and 

In  2017,  we  had  recognized  additional,  non-recurring  income  tax  expense  of  $8.0  million 
resulting from the revaluation of FNCB’s net deferred tax assets following the enactment of 
the  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  on  December  22,  2017.  In  addition,  total  revenue,  net  interest 
income and non-interest income, grew $8.0 million, or 19.9%, to $48.3 million in 2018 from 
$40.3 million in 2017. Specifically, net interest income increased $3.5 million, or 10.5%, to $36.5 
million in 2018 from $33.0 million in 2017, while non-interest income increased $4.6 million, 
or 59.0%, to $11.8 million in 2018 compared to $7.2 million in 2017.  The increase in net interest 
income  in  2018  largely  reflected  strong  earning-asset  growth  and  higher  yields,  partially 
offset by an increase in funding costs, while the previously mentioned insurance recovery was 
the leading factor contributing to the significant increase in non-interest income.

PAGE 12  | FNCB BANCORP, INC.

2018 ANNUAL REPORT

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.6 million in 2018, which was an increase of $1.8 
million  compared  to  $0.8  million  in  2017.  The  increase  in  the  provision  for  loan  losses 
reflected charge-downs associated with two larger commercial credits that were placed on 
non-accrual, coupled with significant loan growth experienced in 2018. We maintain strict 
underwriting standards and our asset quality metrics remain favorable with a ratio of total 
non-performing loans to total loans of 0.56% at December 31, 2018. Staffing additions within 
our retail and commercial lending and credit administration units, coupled with increases in 
regulatory assessments due to strong balance sheet growth contributed to the $1.3 million, 
or 4.5%, increase in non-interest expense. 

We experienced strong balance sheet growth as total assets increased $75.4 million, or 6.5%, 
to $1.238 billion at December 31, 2018 from $1.162 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in 
total assets primarily reflected robust organic loan growth, as total loans, gross, grew $67.1 
million, or 8.7%, to $835.2 million at December 31, 2018 from $768.1 million at December 31, 
2017.  Available-for-sale  securities  increased  $6.5  million,  or  2.2%,  to  $296.0  million  at 
December 31, 2018 from $289.5 million at December 31, 2017. The asset growth was funded by 
a $93.2 million, or 9.3%, increase in total deposits to $1.096 billion at December 31, 2018 from 
$1.002 billion at December 31, 2017. The growth in total deposits largely reflected increases in 
retail and wholesale time deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh advance funding 
decreased $26.0 million, or 57.9%, to $18.9 million at December 31, 2018 from $44.9 million at 
December 31, 2017.

FNCB’s capital position strengthened as total shareholders’ equity increased $8.0 million, or 
9.0%,  to  $97.2  million  at  December  31,  2018  from  $89.2  million  at  December  31,  2017.  The 
stronger capital position reflected 2018 net income, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase 
in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  related  to  depreciation  in  the  fair  value  of 
available-for-sale debt securities, net of deferred taxes, and year-to-date dividends declared 
of  $2.9  million.  Book  value  per  share  improved  to  $5.78  per  share  at  December  31,  2018

2018 ANNUAL REPORT

Positioning for Continued Transformation

We believe that a strong capital base is essential for our continued growth and profitability. 
On January 28, 2019, we announced the commencement of a public offering of FNCB shares 
of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten offering. The offering subsequently 
closed on February 8, 2019 and provided for the issuance of 3,285,550 shares of its common 
stock. We received net proceeds of $21.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and 
offering expenses, which is being used to support the Bank in its operations.

We would like to thank you for your continued support of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. We realize we 
still have much work to do but are encouraged and excited as we enter into 2019. We believe 
our strong balance sheet leaves us well positioned to create long-term shareholder value by 
continuing to advance our performance and transform FNCB in the year ahead. 

Sincerely,

Dominick L. DeNaples
Chairman of the Board 

Gerard A. Champi
President and Chief Executive Officer

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.  

This  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K contains  statements  which  are  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These 
forward-looking statements include statements relating to the outlook for which are subject to risks and uncertainties. These 
statements are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies, financial conditions, results of operations and 
expectations of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“FNCB”). These forward-looking statements are 
generally  identified  by  use  of  the  words  “may”,  “should”,  “will”,  “could”,  “believe,”  “expect,”  “intend,”  “anticipate,” 
“estimate,” “project”, “plan”, “future” or similar expressions. All statements in this report, other than statements of historical 
facts, are forward-looking statements.  

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, some 
of which are beyond FNCB’s control and ability to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results of FNCB to differ materially 
from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:  

●  weakness  in  the  economic  environment,  in  general,  and  within  FNCB's  market  area  could  pose  significant

challenges for FNCB and could adversely affect FNCB's financial condition and results of operations; 

●  FNCB’s concentrations of loans, including those to insiders and related parties, may create a greater risk of loan

defaults and losses; 

● 

●  FNCB’s financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if the allowance for loan and 
lease losses is not sufficient to absorb actual losses or if increases to the allowance for loan and lease losses were
required; 
if  management  concludes  that  the  decline  in  value  of  any  of  FNCB’s  investment  securities  is  other-than-
temporary, FNCB is required to write down the security to reflect credit-related impairments through a charge
to earnings; 
changes in interest rates could reduce income, cash flows and asset values; 

● 
●  FNCB may not be able to retain or grow its core deposit base, which could adversely impact its funding costs; 
●  FNCB is subject to credit risk, which could adversely affect its profitability; 
●  FNCB’s risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risks or losses to it; 
●  FNCB is dependent on the use of data and modeling in both its management’s decision-making generally and in 

meeting regulatory expectations in particular; 

●  FNCB’s portfolio of loans to small and mid-sized community-based businesses may increase its credit risk; 
●  new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services may subject FNCB to additional risk; 
● 

the appraisals and other valuation techniques FNCB uses in evaluating and monitoring loans secured by real
property and other real estate owned may not accurately reflect the net value of the asset; 

●  FNCB depends on information technology and telecommunications systems of third parties, and any systems

failures or interruptions could adversely affect its operations and financial condition; 

●  FNCB may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions; 
●  FNCB may face risks with respect to future expansion of acquisition activity; 
●  FNCB depends on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by customers and counterparties; 
●  FNCB could be subject to environmental risks and associated costs on its foreclosed real estate assets; 
●  FNCB may not be able to successfully compete with others for business; 
● 

changes in either FNCB’s financial condition or in the general banking industry could result in a loss of depositor
confidence; 

●  FNCB is a bank holding company and depend on dividends from its subsidiary, FNCB Bank, to operate; 
● 

if FNCB loses access to wholesale funding sources, it may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of its
depositors, creditors, and borrowers, or have the operating cash needed to fund corporate expansion and other
corporate activities; 
interruptions  or  security  breaches  of  FNCB’s  information  systems  could  negatively  affect  its  financial
performance, financial condition or reputation; 

● 

●  FNCB  is  subject  to  cybersecurity  risks  and  security  breaches  and  may  incur  increasing  costs  in  an  effort  to
minimize those risks and to respond to cyber incidents, and FNCB may experience harm to its reputation and
liability exposure from security breaches;

Item 1.  

Business 

Overview 

The Company 

FNCB Bancorp, Inc., formerly First National Community Bancorp, Inc., incorporated in 1997, is a Pennsylvania business 
corporation and a registered bank holding company headquartered in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. FNCB Bancorp, Inc. became 
an active bank holding company on July 1, 1998 when it acquired 100% ownership of the former First National Community 
Bank.  In  this  report,  the  terms  “FNCB,”  "the  Company,"  “we,”  “us,”  and  “our”  refer  to  FNCB  Bancorp,  Inc.  and  its 
subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. In certain circumstances, however, FNCB Bancorp, Inc. uses the term 
“FNCB” to refer to itself.  

Effective June 30, 2016, following receipt of required regulatory approvals from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking 
and Securities, First National Community Bank completed a charter conversion from a national bank to a Pennsylvania state 
bank. Following the change in charter, First National Community Bank changed its legal name to FNCB Bank (the “Bank”). 
Subsequently, on October 4, 2016, the holding company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its 
name from First National Community Bancorp, Inc. to FNCB Bancorp, Inc. The name change became effective October 17, 
2016.  

FNCB’s primary activity consists of owning and operating the Bank, which provides substantially all of FNCB’s earnings as 
a result of its banking services.  

FNCB had net income of $13.3 million, $0.1 million, and $6.3 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Total assets 
were $1.238 billion at December 31, 2018, $1.162 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.196 billion at December 31, 2016. 

The Bank 

Established as a national banking association in 1910, as of December 31, 2018 the Bank operated 16 full-service branch 
offices within its primary market area, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and a Limited Purpose Banking Office (“LPO”) based in 
Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

Lending Activities 

FNCB offers a variety of loans, including residential real estate loans, construction, land acquisition and development loans, 
commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, loans to state and political subdivisions, and consumer loans, 
generally to individuals and businesses in its primary market area. These lending activities are described in further detail 
below. 

Residential Mortgage Loans and Home Equity Term Loans 

FNCB  offers  a  variety  of  fixed-rate  one-  to  four-family  residential  loans  and  home  equity  term  loans.  FNCB’s  suite  of 
residential mortgage products include First Time Homebuyer mortgages, FHA and Home Possible® mortgages with low 
down payments to meet the home financing needs of customers. Home equity term loans have fixed interest rates with terms 
up to 15 years. FNCB also offers a proprietary “WOW” mortgage, a first-lien, fixed-rate mortgage product with maturity 
terms ranging from 7.5 to 14.5 years. At December 31, 2018, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $164.8 
million,  or  19.7%,  of  the  total  loan  portfolio.  Except  for  the  WOW  mortgage,  one-  to  four-family  mortgage  loans  are 
originated generally for sale in the secondary market. However, FNCB may hold in portfolio one- to four-family residential 
mortgage  loans  as  deemed  necessary  according  to  current  asset/liability  management  strategies.  During  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, the Bank sold $9.6 million of one- to four-family mortgages. FNCB retains servicing rights on these 
mortgages.  

Construction, Land Acquisition and Development Loans 

FNCB offers interim construction financing secured by residential property for the purpose of constructing one- to four-
family homes. FNCB also offers interim construction financing for the purpose of constructing residential developments and 
various commercial properties including shopping centers, office complexes and single purpose owner-occupied structures 
and for land acquisition. At December 31, 2018, construction, land acquisition and development loans amounted to $20.8 
million and represented 2.5% of the total loan portfolio.  

Commercial Real Estate Loans 

Commercial real estate loans represent the largest portion of FNCB’s total loan portfolio and loans in this portfolio generally 
have  larger  loan  balances.  These  loans  are  secured  by  a  broad  range  of  real  estate,  including  but  not  limited  to,  office 
complexes, shopping centers, hotels, warehouses, gas stations, convenience markets, residential care facilities, nursing care 
facilities, restaurants, multifamily housing, farms and land subdivisions. At December 31, 2018, FNCB’s commercial real 
estate loans totaled $262.8 million, or 31.5%, of the total loan portfolio. 

Commercial and Industrial Loans 

FNCB  generally  offers  commercial  loans  to  sole  proprietors  and  businesses  located  in  its  primary  market  area.  The 
commercial loan portfolio includes, but is not limited to, lines of credit, dealer floor plan lines, equipment loans, vehicle loans 
and term loans. These loans are primarily secured by vehicles, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, 
marketable securities and deposit accounts. At December 31, 2018, FNCB’s commercial and industrial loans totaled $151.0 
million, or 18.1%, of the total loan portfolio.

Consumer Loans 

Consumer loans include indirect automobile loans originated through various auto dealers in the Bank's market area, secured 
and unsecured installment loans, direct new and used automobile financing, home equity and personal lines of credit and 
overdraft protection loans.  Home equity lines of credit have adjustable interest rates based on the National prime interest 
rate and are offered up to a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio of 90%, based on the property’s appraised value. At 
December 31, 2018, FNCB’s consumer loans totaled $176.8 million, or 21.2%, of the total loan portfolio. 

State and Political Subdivision Loans 

FNCB originates state and political subdivision loans, including general obligation and tax anticipation notes, primarily to 
municipalities in the Bank’s market area. At December 31, 2018, FNCB’s state and political subdivision loans totaled $59.0 
million, or 7.1%, of the total loan portfolio. 

For more information regarding FNCB’s loan portfolio and lending policies, please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Wealth Management 

FNCB offers customers wealth management services through a third-party provider. Customers are able to access alternative 
deposit products such as mutual funds, annuities, stocks, and bonds directly for purchase from an outside provider. 

Deposit Activities 

In  general, deposits, borrowings  and  loan repayments  are  the  major  sources of  funding for  lending and other  investment 
purposes. FNCB relies primarily on marketing, product innovation, technology and service to attract, grow and retain its 
deposits. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on 
deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of deposit accounts, management considers the 
interest  rates  offered  by  its  competitors,  the  interest  rates  available  on  FHLB  advances  and  other  wholesale  funding,  its 
liquidity needs and customer preferences. Management regularly reviews FNCB’s deposit mix and deposit pricing as part of 
its asset/liability management, taking into consideration rates offered by competitors in its market area and balance sheet 
interest-rate sensitivity.  

Competition 

The banking and financial services industries are highly competitive. FNCB faces direct competition in originating loans and 
in attracting deposits from a significant number of financial institutions operating in its market area, many with a statewide 
or regional presence, and in some cases, a national presence, as well as other financial and non-financial institutions outside 
of its market area through online loan and deposit product offerings. The competition comes principally from other banks, 
savings institutions, credit unions, mortgage banking companies, internet-based financial technology (“FinTech”) companies 
and, with respect to deposits, institutions offering investment alternatives, including money market funds and online deposit 
accounts.  The  increased  competition  has  resulted  from  changes  in  the  legal  and  regulatory  guidelines,  as  well  as  from 
economic  conditions.  The  cost  of  regulatory  compliance  remains  high  for  community  banks  as  compared  to  their  larger 
competitors that are able to achieve economies of scale.  

As a result of consolidation in the banking industry, some of the Bank’s competitors and their respective affiliates are larger 
and may enjoy advantages such as greater financial resources, a wider geographic presence, a wider array of services, or 
more favorable pricing alternatives and lower origination and operating costs. FNCB considers its major competitors to be 
local commercial banks as well as other commercial banks with branches in its market area. Competitors may offer deposits 
at higher rates and loans with lower fixed rates, more attractive terms and less stringent credit structures than FNCB has been 
able to offer. The growth and profitability of FNCB depends on its continued ability to successfully compete. Management 
believes interest rates on deposits, especially money market and time deposits, and interest rates and fees charged on loans 
within FNCB’s market area to be very competitive. 

Supervision and Regulation 

FNCB and the Bank operate in a highly regulated industry and is subject to a variety of statutes, regulations and policies, as 
well as ongoing regulatory supervision and review. Federal statutes that apply to FNCB and the Bank include the Gramm 
Leach  Bliley  Act  (“GLB  Act”),  the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  (“BHCA”),  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and 
Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the USA Patriot Act, the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit 
5 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Insurance Act. In general, these statutes, regulations promulgated in accordance with these statutes, and interpretations of the 
statutes and regulations by the banking regulatory agencies establish the eligible business activities of FNCB and the Bank, 
certain acquisition and merger restrictions, limitations on intercompany transactions, such as loans and dividends, and capital 
adequacy requirements, among other things. These laws, regulations and policies are subject to frequent change and FNCB 
takes measures to comply with applicable requirements.The following summarizes some of the more significant provisions 
of these laws as they relate to FNCB and the Bank. 

FNCB 

FNCB is a bank holding company within the meaning of the BHCA and is registered with, and subject to regulation and 
examination  by,  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System  (“FRB”).  FNCB  is  required  to  file  annual  and 
quarterly reports with the FRB and to provide the FRB with such additional information that they may require. BHCA and 
other federal laws subject bank holding companies to restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to 
a  range  of  supervisory  requirements  and  activities,  including  regulatory  enforcement  actions  for  violations  of  laws  and 
regulations and unsafe and unsound banking practices. 

The BHCA requires approval of the FRB for, among other things, the acquisition of direct or indirect ownership or control 
of more than five percent (5%) of the voting securities or substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company, 
or before the merger or consolidation with another bank holding company.   

With certain limited exceptions, a bank holding company is prohibited from acquiring control of any voting shares of any 
company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in any activity other than 
banking or managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for its authorized subsidiaries.  A 
bank holding company may, however, engage in, or acquire an interest in a company that engages in, activities that the FRB 
has determined by order or regulation to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be properly 
incident thereto.  In making such a determination, the FRB is required to consider whether the performance of such activities 
can  reasonably  be  expected  to  produce  benefits  to  the  public,  such  as  convenience,  increased  competition  or  gains  in 
efficiency,  which  outweigh  possible  adverse  effects,  such  as  undue  concentration  of  resources,  decreased  or  unfair 
competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices. The FRB is also empowered to differentiate between activities 
commenced de novo and activities commenced by the acquisition, in whole or in part, of a going concern.  Some of the 
activities  that  the  FRB  has  determined  by  regulation  to  be  closely  related  to  banking  include  making  or  servicing  loans, 
performing certain data processing services, acting as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor, and making investments 
in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare. 

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any 
extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investments in the stock or other securities 
thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.  Further, a holding company and 
any subsidiary bank are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit.   

The GLB Act allows a bank holding company or other company to certify status as a financial holding company, which 
allows  such  company  to  engage  in  activities  that  are  financial  in  nature,  that  are  incidental  to  such  activities,  or  are 
complementary  to  such  activities  without  further  approval.  The  GLB  Act  enumerates  certain  activities  that  are  deemed 
financial in nature, such as underwriting insurance or acting as an insurance principal, agent or broker, underwriting, dealing 
in or making markets in securities, and engaging in merchant banking under certain restrictions. The GLB Act also authorizes 
the  FRB  to determine  by regulation  what other  activities are financial  in nature,  or  incidental or  complementary  thereto. 
FNCB has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company. 

FNCB also is subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is subject to the disclosure 
and regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 
amended 

FNCB’s shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 5, 2018. Accordingly, FNCB is now 
subject to certain financial, liquidity and corporate governance requirements imposed by Nasdaq. Non-compliance of these 
requirements could subject FNCB to potential denial of listing, or additional conditions, as necessary, to protect investors 
and the public interest. Prior to March 5, 2018, FNCB’s shares of common stock traded on the OTCQX marketplace under 
the symbol “FNCB”.

The Bank 

Effective June 30, 2016, upon its conversion to a state charter, the Bank is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of 
Banking and Securities (“PADOBS”). The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to the maximum legal limit by the Deposit 
Insurance Fund of the FDIC and accordingly, the Bank is also regulated by the FDIC. The regulations of the PADOBS and 
the  FDIC  govern  most  aspects  of  the  Bank’s  business,  including  required  reserves  against  deposits,  loans,  investments, 
mergers  and  acquisitions,  borrowings,  dividends  and  location  and  number  of  branch  offices.  The  laws  and  regulations 
governing  the  Bank  generally  have  been  promulgated  to  protect  depositors  and  the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund,  and  not  to 
protect shareholders. 

Branching and Interstate Banking. The federal banking agencies are generally authorized to approve interstate bank merger 
transactions  

The Dodd-Frank Act amended federal banking law to permit banks to establish de novo branches in other states to the same 
extent as a bank chartered by that state would be so permitted. The interstate banking and branching provisions of the t federal 
banking laws would permit the Bank to merge with banks in other states and branch into other states and would also permit 
banks from other states to acquire banks in the Bank's market area and to establish de novo branches in the Bank’s market 
area. 

USA Patriot Act and the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”). Under the BSA, a financial institution is required to have systems in 
place to detect certain transactions, based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required 
to report cash transactions involving more than $10,000 to the United States Treasury. In addition, financial institutions are 
required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and that the financial institution 
knows, suspects or has reason to suspect, involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no 
lawful purpose. Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and 
Obstruct Terrorism Act, commonly referred to as the “USA Patriot Act” or the “Patriot Act,” financial institutions are subject 
to prohibitions against specified financial transactions and account relationships, as well as enhanced due diligence standards 
intended to detect, and prevent, the use of the United States financial system for money laundering and terrorist financing 
activities.  The  Patriot  Act  requires  financial  institutions,  including  banks,  to  establish  anti-money  laundering  programs, 
including  employee  training  and  independent  audit  requirements,  meet  minimum  specified  standards,  follow  minimum 
standards for customer identification and maintenance of customer identification records, and regularly compare customer 
lists against lists of suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations and money launderers.  

Capital Adequacy Requirements. Federal banking agencies have adopted risk based capital adequacy and leverage capital 
adequacy requirements pursuant to which they assess the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising banks and bank 
holding companies and in analyzing bank regulatory applications. Risk-based capital requirements determine the adequacy 
of capital based on the risk inherent in various classes of assets and off-balance sheet items. 

FNCB and the Bank are subject to extensive and detailed capital requirements, as modified by and changes imposed by the 
Dodd-Frank Act (“Basel III”). Basel III calls for the following capital requirements:  

●  A minimum ratio of common equity tier I (“CET I”) capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. 
●  A minimum ratio of tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%. 
●  A minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. 
●  A minimum leverage ratio of 4%. 

Basel III also establishes a “countercyclical capital buffer,” that is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic 
stress. Generally, the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% of risk-weighted assets will be imposed when federal banking 
regulators determine that excess aggregate credit growth becomes associated with a buildup of systemic risk. For all banking 
institutions, the phase-in period for the capital conservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and 
increased by that amount each year until it reached the full 2.50% on January 1, 2019. 

Banking institutions with a ratio of CET I to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or 
below  the  combined  capital  conservation  buffer  and  countercyclical  capital  buffer,  when  the  latter  is  applied)  may  face 
constraints on their ability to pay dividends, to effect equity repurchases and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers, 
which constraints vary based on the amount of the shortfall. 

Basel III also included, as part of the definition of CET I capital, a requirement that banking institutions include the amount 
of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), which primarily consists of unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, 
on available-for-sale securities, that are not other than temporarily impaired (“OTTI”) in calculating regulatory capital, unless 
7 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
the institution makes a one-time opt-out election from this provision in connection with the filing of its first regulatory reports 
after applicability of the Basel III Rule to that institution. The Basel III Rule also imposes a 4.00% minimum Tier I leverage 
ratio. FNCB and the Bank elected to exclude AOCI in calculating regulatory capital.  

Basel  III  provides  for  new  deductions  from  and  adjustments  to  CET  I.  These  include,  for  example,  the  requirement  that 
mortgage  servicing  rights,  deferred  tax  assets  dependent  upon  future  taxable  income  and  significant  investments  in  non-
consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET I to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10.00% of CET I or 
all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15.00% of CET I. 

Basel III imposed changes to methodologies for determining risk weighted assets, including revisions to recognition of credit 
risk mitigation, such as a greater recognition of financial collateral and a wider range of eligible guarantors, the risk weighting 
of equity exposures and past due loans, and higher (greater than 100%) risk weighting for certain commercial real estate 
exposures that have higher credit risk profiles, including higher loan to value and equity components. 

As discussed below, Basel III also integrates the new capital requirements into the prompt corrective action provisions under 
Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”). 

Prompt Corrective Action. Under Section 38 of the FDIA, each federal banking agency is required to implement a system of 
prompt corrective action for institutions which it regulates. The federal banking agencies have promulgated substantially 
similar regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA.  

The following are the capital requirements under the Basel III Rules integrated into the prompt corrective action category 
definitions. As of December 31, 2018, the following capital requirements were applicable to the Bank for purposes of Section 
38 of the FDIA.

Additionally,  FNCB’s  outstanding  subordinated  notes  are  subject  to  phase  out  and  will  cease  to  qualify  as  capital  for 
regulatory purposes. Overall, management believes that implementation of Basel III did not have a material adverse effect 
on FNCB’s or the Bank’s capital ratios, earnings, shareholder’s equity, or its ability to pay discretionary bonuses to executive 
officers. At December 31, 2018, the Bank was “well capitalized” under the aforementioned requirements with a common 
equity Tier I capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratios of 11.11%, a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 
12.17% and a Leverage ratio of 8.27%. Similarly, at December 31, 2018, FNCB met its capital requirements with a common 
equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 11.42%, a Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.47%, a total capital 
to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.69%, and a Leverage ratio of 8.50%.  

Regulatory Enforcement Authority. Federal banking law grants substantial enforcement powers to federal banking regulators. 
This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist 
or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties. In general, 
these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other 
actions  or  inactions  may  provide  the  basis  for  enforcement  action,  including  misleading  or  untimely  reports  filed  with 
regulatory authorities. 

The  Bank  and  its  “institution-affiliated  parties,”  including  its  management,  employees,  agents,  independent  contractors, 
consultants such as attorneys and accountants and others who participate in the conduct of the financial institution’s affairs, 
are subject to potential civil and criminal penalties for violations of law, regulations or written orders of a governmental 
agency. In addition, regulators are provided with greater flexibility to commence enforcement actions against institutions and 
institution-affiliated parties. Possible enforcement actions include the termination of deposit insurance and cease-and-desist 
orders. Such orders may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a violation or 
practice, including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications or guarantees against loss. A financial institution may also 
be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, rescind agreements or contracts, or take other actions as determined 
by the ordering agency to be appropriate.

Under provisions of the federal securities laws, a determination by a court or regulatory agency that certain violations have 
occurred at a company or its affiliates can result in fines, restitution, a limitation of permitted activities, disqualification to 
continue to conduct certain activities and an inability to rely on certain favorable exemptions. Certain types of infractions 
and violations can also affect a public company in its timing and ability to expeditiously issue new securities into the capital 
markets. 

The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and 
enforcement  activities  and  examination  policies,  including  policies  with  respect  to  the  classification  of  assets  and  the 
establishment of adequate loan loss allowances for regulatory purposes. 

The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, 
deposit,  investment,  trading  and  operating  activities  of  financial  institutions  and  their  holding  companies.  To  date,  the 
following provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are considered to be of the greatest significance to FNCB: 

● 

● 

expands  the  authority  of  the  FRB  to  examine  bank  holding  companies  and  their  subsidiaries,  including  insured 
depository institutions; 

requires a bank holding company to be well capitalized and well managed to receive approval of an interstate bank 
acquisition; 

●  provides  mortgage  reform  provisions  regarding  a  customer’s  ability  to  pay  and  making  more  loans  subject  to 

provisions for higher-cost loans and new disclosures; 

● 

● 

● 

creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) that has rulemaking authority for a wide range of 
consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and has broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection 
laws; 

creates the Financial Stability Oversight Council with authority to identify institutions and practices that might pose 
a systemic risk; 

introduces additional corporate governance and executive compensation requirements on companies’ subject to the 
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; 

●  permits FDIC-insured banks to pay interest on business demand deposits; 

● 

requires  that  holding  companies  and  other  companies  that  directly  or  indirectly  control  an  insured  depository 
institution serve as a source of financial strength; 

●  makes permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance at all insured depository institutions; and 

●  permits national and state banks to establish interstate branches to the same extent as the branch host state allows 

establishment of in-state branches. 

Consumer  Financial  Protection  Bureau.  The  Dodd-Frank  Act  created  the  CFPB,  which  is  granted  broad  rulemaking, 
supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), Fair Credit Reporting 
Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, Consumer Financial Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and certain other 
statutes.  The  CFPB  has  examination  and  primary  enforcement  authority  with  respect  to  depository  institutions  with 
$10 billion or more in assets. Smaller institutions are subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB, but continue to be examined 
and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes. The CFPB has authority to prevent unfair, 
deceptive or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes 
the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of 
the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act allows borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if 
they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. The Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt 
consumer  protection  laws  and  standards  that  are  more  stringent  than  those  adopted  at  the  federal  level  and,  in  certain 
circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

Ability to Repay and Qualified Mortgage Rule  

Pursuant to the Dodd Frank in 2014 the CFPB amended Regulation Z as implemented by the Truth in Lending Act, requiring 
mortgage lenders to make a reasonable and good faith determination based on verified and documented information that a 
consumer applying for a mortgage loan has a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms. Mortgage lenders 
are required to determine consumers’ ability to repay in one of two ways. The first alternative requires the mortgage lender 
to consider the following eight underwriting factors when making the credit decision:  

● 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

current or reasonably expected income or assets; 
current employment status; 
the monthly payment on the covered transaction; 
the monthly payment on any simultaneous loan; 
the monthly payment for mortgage-related obligations; 
current debt obligations, alimony, and child support; 
the monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income; and 
credit history. 

Alternatively, the mortgage lender can originate “qualified mortgages,” which are entitled to a presumption that the creditor 
making the loan satisfied the ability-to-repay requirements. In general, a “qualified mortgage” is a mortgage loan without 
negative amortization, interest-only payments, balloon payments, or terms exceeding 30 years. In addition, to be a qualified 
mortgage, the points and fees paid by a consumer cannot exceed 3% of the total loan amount. Loans which meet these criteria 
will  be  considered  qualified  mortgages,  and  as  a  result  generally  protect  lenders  from  fines  or  litigation  in  the  event  of 
foreclosure.  Qualified  mortgages  that  are  “higher-priced”  (e.g.  subprime  loans)  garner  a  rebuttable  presumption  of 
compliance with the ability-to-repay rules, while qualified mortgages that are not “higher-priced” (e.g. prime loans) are given 
a safe harbor of compliance. The rule did not have a material impact on our lending activities or our results of operations or 
financial condition. 

TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosures (“TRID”). In 2015, the CFPB implemented a rule combining the mortgage disclosures 
consumers previously received under TILA and RESPA. For more than 30 years, the TILA and RESPA mortgage disclosures 
had been administered separately by, respectively, the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development.  The  rule  requires  lenders  to  provide  applicants  with  the  new  Loan  Estimate  and  Closing  Disclosure  and 
generally applies to most closed-end consumer mortgage loans.  

The  CFPB’s  rulemaking,  examination  and  enforcement  authority  has  and  will  continue  to  significantly  affect  financial 
institutions offering consumer financial products and services, including FNCB and the Bank. These regulatory activities 
may limit the types of financial services and products the Bank may offer, which in turn may reduce FNCB’s revenues. 

FDIC  Insurance  Premiums.  The  FDIC  maintains  a  risk-based  assessment  system  for  determining  deposit  insurance 
premiums. Four risk categories (I-IV), each subject to different premium rates, are established based upon an institution’s 
status as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized, and the institution’s supervisory rating.  

The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions and credit 
unions to $250,000 per depositor. The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments 
are now based on a financial institution’s average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital. The Dodd-Frank Act 
requires the FDIC to increase the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by 
2020 and eliminates the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to insured depository institutions when the reserve ratio 
exceeds  certain  thresholds.  The  Dodd-Frank  Act  eliminated  the  statutory  prohibition  against  the  payment  of  interest  on 
business checking accounts. 

An  insured  institution  is  required  to  pay  deposit  insurance  premiums  on  its  assessment  base  in  accordance  with  its  risk 
category. There are three adjustments that can be made to an institution’s initial base assessment rate: (1) a potential decrease 
for long-term unsecured debt, including senior and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier I capital; 
(2)  a  potential  increase  for  secured  liabilities  above  a  threshold  amount;  and  (3)  for  non-Risk  Category  I  institutions,  a 
potential increase for brokered deposits above a threshold amount. The FDIC may also impose special assessments from time 
to time.  

At December 31, 2018, the Bank was considered risk category I, the lowest risk category, for deposit insurance assessments 
and paid an annual assessment rate ranging from 0.0005 basis points to 0.0006 basis points on the assessment base of average 
consolidated total assets less the average tangible equity during the assessment period.

May 2018 Banking Reform Legislation 

On May 24, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), 
amended certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as certain 
other statutes administered by the federal banking agencies.  Some of the key provisions of the Regulatory Relief Act as it 
relates to community banks and bank holding companies include: (i) designating mortgages held in portfolio as “qualified 
mortgages”  for  banks  with  less  than  $10  billion  in  assets,  subject  to  certain  documentation  and  product  limitations;  (ii) 
exempting banks with less than $10 billion in assets (and total trading assets and trading liabilities of 5% or less of total 
assets) from Volcker Rule requirements relating to proprietary trading; (iii) simplifying capital calculations for banks with 
less than $10 billion in assets by requiring federal banking agencies to establish a community bank leverage ratio of tangible 
equity to average consolidated assets of not less than 8% or more than 10%, and provide that banks that maintain tangible 
equity in excess of such ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with risk-based capital and leverage requirements; (iv) 
assisting smaller banks with obtaining stable funding by providing an exception for reciprocal deposits from FDIC restrictions 
on acceptance of brokered deposits; (v) raising the eligibility for use of short-form Call Reports from $1 billion to $5 billion 
in assets; (vi) clarifying definitions pertaining to high volatility commercial real estate loans (HVCRE), which require higher 
capital  allocations,  so  that  only  loans  with  increased  risk  are  subject  to  higher  risk  weightings;  and  (vii)  changing  the 
eligibility for use of the small bank holding company policy statement from institutions with under $1 billion in assets to 
institutions with under $3 billion in assets.  

Section 201 of the Regulatory Relief Act directed the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio 
(“CBLR”) of not less than 8% and not more than 10% for qualifying community banks and bank holding companies with 
total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion.  Qualifying community banking organizations that exceed the CBLR level 
established by the agencies, and that elect to be covered by the CBLR framework, will be considered to have met:  (i) the 
generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under the banking agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital 
ratio  requirements  necessary  to  be  considered  “well  capitalized”  under  the  banking  agencies’  prompt  corrective  action 
framework in the case of insured depository institutions; and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements.  

On February 8, 2019, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, 
and the FDIC published for comment a proposed rule to implement the provisions of Section 201 of the Regulatory Relief 
Act.   Under  the  proposal,  a  qualifying  community  banking  organization  would  be  defined  as  a  depository  institution  or 
depository institution holding company with less than $10 billion in assets and specified limited amounts of off-balance sheet 
exposures, trading assets and liabilities, mortgage servicing assets, and certain temporary difference deferred tax assets.  A 
qualifying community banking organization would be permitted to elect the CBLR framework if its CBLR is greater than 
9%.  The proposed rulemaking also addresses opting in and opting out of the CBLR framework by a community banking 
organization,  the  treatment  of  a  community  banking  organization  that  falls  below  CBLR  requirements,  and  the  effect  of 
various  CBLR  levels  for  purposes  of  the  prompt  corrective  action  categories  applicable  to  insured  depository 
institutions.  Advanced approaches banking organizations (generally, institutions with $250 billion or more in consolidated 
assets) are not eligible to use the CBLR framework. 

FNCB continues to analyze the changes implemented by the Regulatory Relief Act, including the CBLR framework included 
in the recently proposed rulemaking.  FNCB has not determined at this time whether or not it would qualify for the CBLR 
framework  or,  if  so,  whether  it  would  elect  to  utilize  the  CBLR  framework.   FNCB  does  not  believe,  however,  that  the 
changes resulting from the Regulatory Relief Act will materially impact FNCB’s business, operations, or financial results. 

Dividend Restrictions 

FNCB is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. FNCB ’s revenues (on a parent company only basis) and its ability 
to pay dividends to its shareholders are almost entirely dependent upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank. The right of 
FNCB , and consequently the rights of its creditors and shareholders to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings 
of any subsidiary through the payment of such dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors 
of  the  subsidiary  (including  depositors)  except  to  the  extent  that  claims  of  FNCB  ,  in  its  capacity  as  a  creditor,  may  be 
recognized. Additionally, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to FNCB is subject to Pennsylvania state law and various 
regulatory restrictions.  

The declaration of cash dividends on FNCB’s common stock is at the discretion of its board of directors, and any decision to 
declare a dividend is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, earnings, prospects, financial condition, 
regulatory  capital  levels,  applicable  covenants  under  any  credit  agreements,  notes  and  other  contractual  restrictions, 
Pennsylvania law, federal bank regulatory law, and other factors deemed relevant.

Item 1A.  

Risk Factors 

The operations and financial results of FNCB are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below. 
The risks and uncertainties described  below are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties the 
Company is unaware  of,  or the  Company currently  believes are  not  material,  may  also  become  important  factors 
affecting the Company. If any of the following risks occur, the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results 
and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the price of the Company’s common stock could 
decline. 

Risks Related to FNCB’s Business 

FNCB is subject to credit risk, which could adversely affect its profitability. 

FNCB’s business depends on its ability to successfully measure and manage credit risk. As a lender, FNCB is exposed to the 
risk that the principal of, or interest on, a loan will not be paid timely or at all or that the value of any collateral supporting a 
loan will be insufficient to cover FNCB’s outstanding exposure. In addition, FNCB is exposed to risks with respect to the 
period of time over which the loan may be repaid, risks relating to loan underwriting, risks resulting from changes in economic 
and industry conditions, and risks inherent in dealing with individual loans and borrowers. The creditworthiness of a borrower 
is  affected  by  many  factors  including  local  market  conditions  and  general  economic  conditions.  If  the  overall  economic 
climate in the United States generally, or in the market areas specifically, experiences material disruption, FNCB’s borrowers 
may experience difficulties in repaying their loans, the collateral FNCB holds may decrease in value or become illiquid, and 
FNCB’s level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require significant additional provisions 
for loan losses. 

FNCB’s risk management practices, such as monitoring the concentrations of its loans and its credit approval, review and 
administrative practices, may not adequately reduce credit risk, and FNCB’s credit administration personnel, policies and 
procedures may not adequately adapt to changes in economic or any other conditions affecting related customers and the 
quality of the loan portfolio. Many of FNCB’s loans are made to small businesses that are less able to withstand competitive, 
economic and financial pressures than larger borrowers. Consequently, FNCB may have significant exposure if any of these 
borrowers  becomes  unable  to  pay  their  loan  obligations  as  a  result  of  economic  or  market  conditions,  or  personal 
circumstances, such as divorce, unemployment or death. A failure to effectively measure and limit the credit risk associated 
with FNCB’s loan portfolio may result in loan defaults, foreclosures and additional charge-offs, and may necessitate that 
FNCB significantly increase FNCB’s allowance for loan losses, each of which could adversely affect FNCB’s net income. 
As a result, FNCB’s inability to successfully manage credit risk could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial 
condition and results of operations. 

Weakness in the economic environment, in general, and within FNCB’s market area could pose significant challenges 
for FNCB and could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. 

FNCB’s  success  depends  primarily  on  the  general  economic  conditions  in  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  and  the 
specific  local  markets  in  which  it  operates.  Unlike  larger  national  or  other  regional  banks  that  are  more  geographically 
diversified, FNCB provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in the Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lehigh and 
Wayne County markets. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for FNCB’s 
products and services as well as the ability of customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans, and the 
12 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
stability of deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts 
of  terrorism,  severe  weather  or  natural  disasters,  outbreak  of  hostilities  or  other  international  or  domestic  occurrences, 
unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and, in turn, have 
a  material  adverse  effect  on  FNCB’s  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Specifically,  weakness  in  economic 
conditions could result in one or more of the following: 

   ●  A decrease in the demand for FNCB's loans and other products and services; 

   ●  A decrease in customer savings generally and in the demand for FNCB's savings and other deposit products; and 
   ●  An  increase  in  the  number  of  customers  and  counterparties  who  become  delinquent,  file  for  protection  under 

bankruptcy laws, or default on their loans or other obligations. 

An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies, or defaults could result in a higher level of non-performing assets, 
net charge-offs, and provision for loan and lease losses. The markets FNCB serves are dependent on retail and service-related 
businesses and, thus, are particularly vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions affecting these sectors. 

To  the  extent  that  economic  conditions  deteriorate,  business  and  individual  borrowers  may  be  less  able  to  meet  their 
obligations to the Bank in full, in a timely manner, resulting in decreased earnings or losses to the Bank. To the extent that 
loans are secured by real estate, adverse conditions in the real estate market may reduce the ability of the borrowers to generate 
the necessary cash flow for repayment of the loan, and reduce the ability to collect the full amount of the loan upon a default. 
To the extent that the Bank makes fixed-rate loans, general increases in interest rates will tend to reduce its spread as the 
interest rates FNCB must pay for deposits would increase while interest income is flat. Economic conditions and interest 
rates may also adversely affect the value of property pledged as security for loans. 

FNCB’s loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the 
deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. 

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 34.0% of FNCB’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate loans and 
construction, land acquisition and development loans. These types of loans are generally viewed as having a higher risk of 
default than residential real estate loans or consumer loans. These types of loans are also typically larger than residential real 
estate loans and consumer loans. Because FNCB’s loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial real estate 
loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-
performing loans. All non-performing loans totaled $4.7 million, or 0.56% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2018, and 
$2.6 million, or 0.34% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2017. Although non-performing loans as a percentage of gross 
loans remained steady from the prior year, an increase in non-performing loans in the future could result in an increase in the 
provision for loan and lease losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, both of which could have a material adverse effect on 
FNCB’s financial condition and results of operations. The lending activities in which the Bank engages carry the risk that the 
borrowers will be unable to perform on their obligations. As such, general economic conditions, nationally and in FNCB’s 
primary market area, will have a significant impact on its results of operations. 

FNCB’s concentrations of loans, including those to insiders and related parties, may create a greater risk of loan defaults 
and losses. 

A substantial portion of FNCB’s loans are secured by real estate in the Northeastern Pennsylvania market, and substantially 
all of its loans are to borrowers in that area. FNCB also has a significant amount of commercial real estate, commercial and 
industrial,  construction,  land  acquisition  and  development  loans  and  land-related  loans  for  residential  and  commercial 
developments.  At  December  31,  2018,  $468.1  million,  or  56.1%,  of  gross  loans  were  secured  by  real  estate,  primarily 
commercial real estate. Management has taken steps to mitigate commercial real estate concentration risk by diversification 
among the types and characteristics of real estate collateral properties, sound underwriting practices, and ongoing portfolio 
monitoring  and  market  analysis.  Of  total  gross  loans,  $20.8  million,  or  2.5%,  were  construction,  land  acquisition  and 
development  loans.  Construction,  land  acquisition  and  development  loans  have  the  highest  risk  of  uncollectability.  An 
additional  $151.0  million,  or  18.1%,  of  portfolio  loans  were  commercial  and  industrial  loans  not  secured  by  real  estate. 
Historically, commercial and industrial loans generally have had a higher risk of default than other categories of loans, such 
as single family residential mortgage loans. The repayment of these loans often depends on the successful operation of a 
business and are more likely to be adversely affected by adverse economic conditions. While management believes that the 
loan portfolio is well diversified in terms of borrowers and industries, these concentrations expose FNCB to the risk that 
adverse  developments  in  the  real  estate  market,  or  in  the  general  economic  conditions  in  its  general  market  area,  could 
increase the levels of non-performing loans and charge-offs, and reduce loan demand. In that event, FNCB would likely 
experience lower earnings or losses. Additionally, if, for any reason, economic conditions in its market area deteriorate, or 

13 

  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
there is significant volatility or weakness in the economy or any significant sector of the area’s economy, FNCB’s ability to 
develop business relationships may be diminished, the quality and collectability of its loans may be adversely affected, the 
value of collateral may decline and loan demand may be reduced. 

Commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and construction, land acquisition and development loans tend to have 
larger  balances  than  single  family  mortgage  loans  and  other  consumer  loans.  Because  FNCB’s  loan  portfolio  contains  a 
significant number of commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and construction, land acquisition and 
development loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant 
increase in non-performing assets. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, 
an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses, or an increase in loan charge-offs, which could have an adverse impact 
on FNCB’s results of operations and financial condition. 

Guidance adopted by federal banking regulators provides that banks having concentrations in construction, land development 
or commercial real estate loans are expected to have and maintain higher levels of risk management and, potentially, higher 
levels of capital, which may adversely affect shareholder returns, or require FNCB to obtain additional capital sooner than it 
otherwise would. Excluded from the scope of this guidance are loans secured by non-farm nonresidential properties where 
the  primary  source  of  repayment  is  the  cash  flow  from  the  ongoing  operations  and  activities  conducted  by  the  party,  or 
affiliate of the party, who owns the property. 

Outstanding  loans  and  line  of  credit  balances  to  directors,  officers  and  their  related  parties  totaled  $64.6  million  as  of 
December  31, 2018.  At December  31, 2018,  there were no  loans  to  directors, officers and  their related parties  that  were 
categorized as criticized loans within the Bank’s risk rating system, meaning they are not considered to present a higher risk 
of collection than other loans. For more information regarding loans to officers and directors and/or their related parties, 
please refer to Note 11, “Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 and Item 13, 
“Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

FNCB’s financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if the ALLL is not sufficient to absorb 
actual losses or if increases to the ALLL were required. 

The  lending  activities  in  which  the  Bank  engages  carry  the  risk  that  the  borrowers  will  be  unable  to  perform  on  their 
obligations, and that the collateral securing the payment of their obligations may be insufficient to assure repayment. FNCB 
may experience significant credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results. Management 
makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of FNCB’s loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness 
of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of its loans, 
which it uses as a basis to estimate and establish its reserves for losses. In determining the amount of the ALLL, management 
reviews loans, loss and delinquency experience, and evaluates current economic conditions. If these assumptions prove to be 
incorrect, the ALLL may not cover inherent losses in FNCB’s loan portfolio at the date of its financial statements. Material 
additions to FNCB’s allowance or extensive charge-offs would materially decrease its net income. At December 31, 2018, 
the ALLL totaled $9.5 million, representing 1.13% of total loans. 

Although management believes FNCB’s underwriting standards are adequate to manage normal lending risks, it is difficult 
to assess the future performance of its loan portfolio due to the ongoing economic environment and the state of the real estate 
market. The assessment of future performance of the loan portfolio is inherently uncertain. FNCB can give no assurance that 
non-performing  loans  will  not  increase  or  that  non-performing  or  delinquent  loans  will  not  adversely  affect  its  future 
performance. 

In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review the ALLL and may require increases to the ALLL or further loan 
charge-offs. Any increase in ALLL or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory agencies could have a material adverse 
effect on FNCB’s results of operations and financial condition. 

If management concludes that the decline in value of any of FNCB’s investment securities is other-than-temporary, FNCB 
is required to write down the security to reflect credit-related impairments through a charge to earnings. 

Management reviews FNCB’s investment securities portfolio at each quarter-end reporting period to determine whether the 
fair value is below the current carrying value. When the fair value of any of FNCB’s debt investment securities has declined 
below its carrying value, management is required to assess whether the decline represents an OTTI. If management concludes 
that the decline is other-than-temporary, it is required to write down the value of that security to reflect the credit-related 
impairments  through  a  charge  to  earnings.  Changes  in  the  expected  cash  flows  of  securities  in  FNCB’s  portfolio  and/or 
prolonged  price  declines  in  future  periods  may  result  in  OTTI,  which  would  require  a  charge  to  earnings.  Due  to  the 
complexity of the calculations and assumptions used in determining whether an asset is impaired, any impairment disclosed 
14 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
may not accurately reflect the actual impairment in the future. In addition, to the extent that the value of any of FNCB’s 
investment securities is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates, any increase in interest rates may result in a decline in the 
value of such investment securities. 

FNCB  held  approximately  $3.1  million  in  capital  stock  of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Pittsburgh  (“FHLB”)  as  of 
December 31, 2018. FNCB must own such capital stock to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank system 
which enables it to borrow funds under the FHLB advance program. If the FHLB were to cease operations, FNCB’s business, 
financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. 

FNCB’s risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risks or losses to the Company. 

FNCB’s risk management framework is comprised of various processes, systems and strategies, and is designed to manage 
the types of risk to which FNCB is subject, including, among others, credit, market, liquidity, interest rate and compliance. 
FNCB’s  framework  also  includes  financial  or  other  modeling  methodologies  that  involve  management  assumptions  and 
judgment.  FNCB’s  risk  management  framework  may  not  be  effective  under  all  circumstances  and  may  not  adequately 
mitigate any risk or loss to FNCB. If FNCB’s risk management framework is not effective, FNCB could suffer unexpected 
losses  and  its  business,  financial  condition,  results  of  operations  or  growth  prospects  could  be  materially  and  adversely 
affected. FNCB may also be subject to potentially adverse regulatory consequences. 

FNCB’s portfolio of loans to small and mid-sized community-based businesses may increase its credit risk. 

Many  of  FNCB’s  commercial  business  and  commercial  real  estate  loans  are  made  to  small  business  or  middle  market 
customers. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger 
entities and have a heightened vulnerability to economic conditions. If general economic conditions in the market area in 
which FNCB operates negatively impact this important customer sector, FNCB’s results of operations and financial condition 
may be adversely affected. Moreover, a portion of these loans have been made by FNCB in recent years and the borrowers 
may not have experienced a complete business or economic cycle. The deterioration of FNCB’s borrowers’ businesses may 
hinder their ability to repay their loans with FNCB, which could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s financial condition 
and results of operations. 

FNCB is subject to interest rate risk, which could adversely affect its profitability. 

FNCB’s profitability, like that of most financial institutions, depends to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the 
difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and its interest 
expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. 

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond FNCB’s control, including general economic conditions 
and  policies  of  various  governmental  and  regulatory  agencies  and,  in  particular,  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal 
Reserve System, or the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not 
only the interest FNCB receives on loans and securities and the interest FNCB pays on deposits and borrowings, but such 
changes could affect FNCB’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, the fair value of FNCB’s financial assets and 
liabilities, and the average duration of FNCB’s assets. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at 
a  faster  rate  than  the  interest  rates  received  on  loans  and  other  investments,  FNCB’s  net  interest  income,  and  therefore 
earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and 
other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Any substantial, unexpected 
or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse impact on FNCB’s business, financial condition 
and results of operations. 

FNCB uses simulation analysis to model net interest income for various interest rate scenarios over a five-year time horizon. 
Based on the simulation analysis, FNCB’s interest sensitivity profile at December 31, 2018 displayed liability sensitivity in 
the near term, next 18 months, moving to an asset sensitivity position in the later years of the model. Accordingly, given the 
current rising rate environment, FNCB would expect decreases in net interest income if interest rates rise over the next 18 
months. However, net interest income is projected to trend upwards over the life of the simulation due primarily to higher 
replacement rates on loans and securities exceeding funding cost increases quarter over quarter. These simulations are based 
on numerous assumptions, including but not limited to: the nature and timing of interest rate levels, prepayments on loans 
and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment of asset and liability cash flows, 
customer  behavior  in  a rising  rate  environment  and other  factors. When  short-term  interest  rates rise,  the rate  of interest 
FNCB pays on its interest-bearing liabilities may rise more quickly than the rate of interest that FNCB receives on its interest-
earning assets, which may cause FNCB’s net interest income to decrease. 

15 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Additionally, a shrinking yield premium between short-term and long-term market interest rates, a pattern usually indicative 
of investors' waning expectations of future growth and inflation, commonly referred to as a flattening of the yield curve, 
typically reduces FNCB’s profit margin as FNCB borrows at shorter terms than the terms at which FNCB lends and invests. 

In addition, an increase in interest rates could also have a negative impact on FNCB’s results of operations by reducing the 
ability  of  borrowers  to  repay  their  current  loan  obligations.  These  circumstances  could  not  only  result  in  increased  loan 
defaults, foreclosures and charge-offs, but also reduce collateral values and necessitate further increases to the allowance for 
loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Changes in interest rates could reduce income, cash flows and asset values. 

FNCB’s earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference 
between interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense paid on interest-
bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond 
FNCB’s control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, 
in particular, the FRB. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest 
FNCB receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could 
also  affect  (i)  FNCB’s  ability  to  originate  loans  and  obtain  deposits,  (ii)  the  fair  value  of  FNCB’s  financial  assets  and 
liabilities, and (iii) the average duration of FNCB’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio. 

If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and 
investments,  FNCB’s  net  interest  income,  and  therefore  earnings,  could  be  adversely  affected.  Earnings  could  also  be 
adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on 
deposits and other borrowings. Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material 
adverse effect on FNCB’s financial condition and results of operations. 

FNCB may not be able to successfully compete with others for business. 

FNCB competes for loans, deposits and investment dollars with numerous regional and national banks and other community 
banking institutions, online divisions of banks located in other markets as well as other kinds of financial institutions and 
enterprises,  such  as  securities  firms,  insurance  companies,  savings  associations,  credit  unions,  mortgage  brokers,  private 
lenders and Fintech companies. There is also competition for banking business from competitors outside of its market area. 
As  noted  above,  FNCB  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  extensive  regulations  and  supervision,  including,  in  many  cases, 
regulations that limit the type and scope of activities. Many competitors have substantially greater resources and may offer 
certain services that FNCB and the Bank does not provide, and operate under less stringent regulatory environments. The 
differences in available resources and applicable regulations may make it harder for FNCB to compete profitably, reduce the 
rates that it can earn on loans and investments, increase the rates it must offer on deposits and other funds, and adversely 
affect its overall financial condition and earnings. For additional discussion of FNCB’s competitive environment, refer to the 
section entitled “Business – Competition” included in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Changes  in  either  FNCB’s  financial  condition  or  in  the  general  banking  industry  could  result  in  a  loss  of  depositor 
confidence. 

Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. The Bank uses its liquidity to extend 
credit and to repay liabilities as they become due or as demanded by customers. The Board of Directors establishes liquidity 
policies,  including  contingency  funding  plans,  and  limits  and  management  establishes  operating  guidelines  for  liquidity. 
FNCB’s  primary  source  of  liquidity  is  customer  deposits.  The  continued  availability  of  this  funding  source  depends  on 
customer willingness to maintain deposit balances with banks in general and FNCB in particular. The availability of deposits 
can also be impacted by regulatory changes (e.g. changes in FDIC insurance, the liquidity coverage ratio, etc.), changes in 
the financial condition of FNCB, or the banking industry in general, and other events which can impact the perceived safety 
and  soundness  or  economic  benefits  of  bank  deposits.  While  FNCB  makes  significant  efforts  to  consider  and  plan  for 
hypothetical disruptions in FNCB’s deposit funding through the use of liquidity stress testing, market related, geopolitical, 
or other events could impact the liquidity derived from deposits. 

FNCB may not be able to retain or grow its core deposit base, which could adversely impact its funding costs. 

Like many financial institutions, FNCB relies on customer deposits as its primary source of funding for its lending activities, 
and FNCB continues to seek customer deposits to maintain this funding base. FNCB’s future growth will largely depend on 
its  ability  to  retain  and  grow  its  deposit  base.  As  of  December  31,  2018,  FNCB  had  $1.096 billion  in  deposits.  FNCB’s 
deposits are subject to potentially dramatic fluctuations in availability or price due to certain factors outside of its control, 
16 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
such  as  increasing  competitive  pressures  for  deposits,  changes  in  interest  rates  and  returns  on  other  investment  classes, 
customer perceptions of its financial health and general reputation, and a loss of confidence by customers in FNCB or the 
banking sector generally, which could result in significant outflows of deposits within short periods of time or significant 
changes in pricing necessary to maintain current customer deposits or attract additional deposits. Any such loss of funds 
could result in lower loan originations, which could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition 
and results of operations. 

FNCB is a bank holding company and depends on dividends from its subsidiary, FNCB Bank, to operate.  

FNCB is an entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Bank conducts most of FNCB’s operations and FNCB depends 
upon dividends from the Bank to service FNCB's debt, pay FNCB’s expenses and to pay dividends to FNCB's shareholders. 
The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is possible, depending upon the 
financial condition including liquidity and capital adequacy of the Bank and other factors, that the Bank’s regulators could 
limit  the  payment  of  dividends  or  other  payments  to  FNCB  by  the  Bank.  In  the  event  that  the  Bank  was  unable  to  pay 
dividends, FNCB in turn would likely have to reduce or stop paying dividends to its shareholders. Failure to pay dividends 
to FNCB shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the market price of FNCB’s Common Stock. For additional 
information  regarding  dividend  restrictions,  refer  to  the  section  entitled  “Regulatory  Matters”  included  in  Item  1  of  this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

If FNCB loses access to wholesale funding sources, it may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of its depositors, 
creditors, and borrowers, or have the operating cash needed to fund corporate expansion and other corporate activities. 

Wholesale  funding  sources  include  brokered  deposits,  one-way  CDARS  and  ICS  deposits,  federal  funds  lines  of  credit, 
securities sold under repurchase agreements, non-core deposits, and long-term debt. The Bank is also a member of the Federal 
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, which provides members access to funding through advances collateralized with certain 
qualifying assets within the Bank’s loan portfolio. In addition, FNCB’s available-for-sale securities provide an additional 
source  of  liquidity.  Disruptions  in  availability  of  wholesale  funding  can  directly  impact  the  liquidity  of  FNCB  and  the 
Bank. The inability to access capital markets funding sources as needed could adversely impact FNCB’s financial condition, 
results of operations, cash flows, and level of regulatory-qualifying capital.  

Interruptions or security breaches of FNCB’s information systems could negatively affect its financial performance or 
reputation. 

In conducting its business, FNCB relies heavily on its information systems. FNCB collects and stores sensitive data, including 
proprietary business information and personally identifiable information of its customers and employees, in its data centers 
and on its networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to FNCB’s operations 
and business strategy. Maintaining and protecting those systems is difficult and expensive, as is dealing with any failure, 
interruption or breach of those systems. Despite security measures, FNCB’s information technology and infrastructure may 
be  vulnerable  to  security  breaches,  cyber-attacks  by  hackers  or  breaches  due  to  employee  error,  malfeasance  or  other 
disruptions. Any damage, failure or breach could cause an interruption in operations. Computer break-ins, phishing and other 
disruptions could also jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through FNCB’s computer systems 
and  network  infrastructure.  The  occurrence  of  any  failures,  interruptions  or  breaches  could  damage  FNCB’s  reputation, 
disrupt operations and the services provided to customers, cause a loss of confidence in the products and the services provided, 
cause FNCB to incur additional expenses, result in a loss of customer business and data, result in legal claims or proceedings, 
result in liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, result in regulatory penalties, or expose FNCB 
to  other  liability,  any  of  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations and competitive position. 

FNCB depends on information technology and telecommunications systems of third parties, and any systems failures or 
interruptions could adversely affect FNCB’s operations and financial condition. 

FNCB’s  business  depends  on  the  successful  and  uninterrupted  functioning  of  its  information  technology  and 
telecommunications systems. FNCB outsources many of its major systems, such as data processing, deposit processing, loan 
origination, email and anti-money laundering monitoring systems. The failure of these systems, or the termination of a third 
party software license or service agreement on which any of these systems is based, could interrupt FNCB’s operations, and 
FNCB could experience difficulty in implementing replacement solutions. In many cases, FNCB’s operations rely heavily 
on secured processing, storage and transmission of information and the monitoring of a large number of transactions on a 
minute-by-minute  basis,  and  even  a  short  interruption  in  service  could  have  significant  consequences.  Because  FNCB’s 
information  technology  and  telecommunications  systems  interface  with  and  depend  on  third  party  systems,  FNCB  could 
experience  service  denials  if  demand  for  such  services  exceeds  capacity  or  such  third  party  systems  fail  or  experience 
17 

  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
interruptions. If significant, sustained or repeated, a system failure or service denial could compromise FNCB’s ability to 
operate  effectively,  damage  FNCB’s  reputation,  result  in  a  loss  of  customer  business  and  subject  FNCB  to  additional 
regulatory scrutiny and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, 
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  In  addition,  failure  of  third  parties  to  comply  with  applicable  laws  and 
regulations, or fraud or misconduct on the part of employees of any of these third parties, could disrupt FNCB’s operations 
or adversely affect FNCB’s reputation.  

FNCB is subject to cybersecurity risks and security breaches and may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize those 
risks and to respond to cyber incidents, and FNCB may experience harm to its reputation and liability exposure from 
security breaches.* 

FNCB’s business involves the storage and transmission of customers' proprietary information and security breaches could 
expose FNCB to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, litigation and potential liability. While FNCB has not incurred 
a material cyber-attacks or security breaches to date, a number of other financial services and other companies have disclosed 
cyber-attacks and security breaches, some of which have involved intentional attacks. Attacks may be targeted at FNCB, its 
customers or both. Although FNCB devotes significant resources to maintain, regularly update and backup its systems and 
processes that are designed to protect the security of FNCB’s computer systems, software, networks and other technology 
assets  and  the  confidentiality,  integrity  and  availability  of  information  belonging  to  FNCB  or  its  customers,  its  security 
measures may not be effective against all potential cyber-attacks or security breaches. Despite FNCB’s efforts to ensure the 
integrity of its systems, it is possible that FNCB may not be able to anticipate, or implement effective preventive measures 
against, all security breaches of these types, especially because the techniques used change frequently or are not recognized 
until launched, and because cyber-attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources, including persons who are involved 
with organized crime or associated with external service providers or who may be linked to terrorist organizations or hostile 
foreign governments. These risks may increase in the future as FNCB continues to increase FNCB’s internet-based product 
offerings and expand its internal usage of web-based products and applications. If an actual or perceived security breach 
occurs, customer perception of the effectiveness of FNCB’s security measures could be harmed and could result in the loss 
of customers. 

A successful penetration or circumvention of the security of FNCB’s systems, including those of third party providers or 
other financial institutions, or the failure to meet regulatory requirements for security of its systems, could cause serious 
negative  consequences,  including  significant  disruption  of  FNCB’s  operations,  misappropriation  of  FNCB’s  confidential 
information or that of FNCB’s customers, or damage to FNCB’s computers or systems or those of FNCB’s customers or 
counterparties, significant increases in compliance costs (such as repairing systems or adding new personnel or protection 
technologies), and could result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws, financial loss to FNCB or to its customers, 
loss of confidence in its security measures, customer dissatisfaction, significant litigation and regulatory exposure, and harm 
to FNCB’s reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and results 
of operations. 

If  FNCB’s  information  technology  is  unable  to  keep  pace  with  growth  or  industry  developments  or  if  technological 
developments result in higher costs or less advantageous pricing, financial performance may suffer. 

Effective  and  competitive  delivery  of  FNCB’s  products  and  services  increasingly  depends  on  information  technology 
resources and processes, both those provided internally as well as those provided through third party vendors. In addition to 
better serving customers, the effective use of technology can improve efficiency and help reduce costs. FNCB’s future success 
will depend, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services 
to enhance customer convenience, as well as to create efficiencies in its operations. There is increasing pressure to provide 
products and services at lower prices. This can reduce net interest income and non-interest income from fee-based products 
and  services.  In  addition,  the  widespread  adoption  of  new  technologies  could  require  FNCB  to  make  substantial  capital 
expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop new products and services. FNCB may not be 
successful in introducing new products and services in response to industry trends or developments in technology, or those 
new  products  may  not  achieve  market  acceptance.  Many  of  FNCB’s  competitors  have  greater  resources  to  invest  in 
technological  improvements. Additionally,  as  technology  in  the financial  services  industry  changes  and  evolves, keeping 
pace  becomes  increasingly  complex  and  expensive.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  FNCB  will  be  able  to  effectively 
implement new technology-driven products and services, which could reduce its ability to compete effectively. As a result, 
FNCB could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract customers, 
or be subject to cost increases. 

18 

  
  
  
  
  
   
 
 
FNCB relies on management and other key personnel and the loss of any of them may adversely affect its operations. 

FNCB believes each member of the executive management team is important to its success and the unexpected loss of any 
of these persons could impair day-to-day operations as well as its strategic direction. 

FNCB’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most 
activities engaged in by FNCB can be intense and it may not be able to hire people or retain them. The unexpected loss of 
services of one or more of FNCB’s key personnel could have a material adverse impact on its business due to the loss of their 
skills, knowledge of its market, years of industry experience and to the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement 
personnel. 

FNCB is dependent on the use of data and modeling in both its management’s decision-making generally and in meeting 
regulatory expectations in particular. 

The use of statistical and quantitative models and other quantitatively-based analyses is endemic to bank decision-making 
and regulatory compliance processes, and the employment of such analyses is becoming increasingly widespread in FNCB’s 
operations. Liquidity stress testing, interest rate sensitivity analysis, allowance for loan loss measurement, portfolio stress 
testing  and  the  identification  of  possible  violations  of  anti-money  laundering  regulations  are  examples  of  areas  in  which 
FNCB is dependent on models and the data that underlies them. FNCB anticipates that model-derived insights will be used 
more widely in FNCB’s decision-making in the future. While these quantitative techniques and approaches improve FNCB’s 
decision-making,  they  also  create  the  possibility  that  faulty  data  or  flawed  quantitative  approaches  could  yield  adverse 
outcomes or regulatory scrutiny. Secondarily, because of the complexity inherent in these approaches, misunderstanding or 
misuse of their outputs could similarly result in suboptimal decision making, which could have a material adverse effect on 
FNCB’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

New lines of business, products, product enhancements or services may subject FNCB to additional risk. 

From time to time, FNCB may implement new lines of business or offer new products and product enhancements as well as 
new services within FNCB’s existing lines of business.  There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these 
efforts.  In developing, implementing or marketing new lines of business, products, product enhancements or services, FNCB 
may invest significant time and resources.  FNCB may underestimate the appropriate level of resources or expertise necessary 
to make new lines of business or products successful to realize their expected benefits.  FNCB may not achieve the milestones 
set in initial timetables for the development and introduction of new lines of business, products, product enhancements or 
services, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible.  External factors, such as compliance with regulations, 
competitive  alternatives  and  shifting  market  preferences,  may  also  impact  the  ultimate  implementation  of  a  new  line  of 
business  or  offering  of  new  products,  product  enhancements  or  services.  Any  new  line  of  business,  product,  product 
enhancement or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of FNCB’s system of internal controls.  FNCB 
may  also  decide  to  discontinue  business  or  products,  due  to  lack  of  customer  acceptance  or  unprofitability.   Failure  to 
successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or offerings of new products, 
product enhancements or services could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and results 
of operations. 

The appraisals and other valuation techniques FNCB uses in evaluating and monitoring loans secured by real property 
and other real estate owned may not accurately reflect the net value of the asset. 

In  considering  whether  to  make  a  loan  secured  by  real  property,  FNCB  generally  requires  an  appraisal  of  the  property. 
However, an appraisal is only an estimate of the value of the property at the time the appraisal is made, and, as real estate 
values may change significantly in relatively short periods of time (especially in periods of heightened economic uncertainty), 
this estimate may not accurately reflect the net value of the collateral after the loan is made. As a result, FNCB may not be 
able to realize the full amount of any remaining indebtedness when FNCB forecloses on and sells the relevant property. In 
addition,  FNCB  relies  on  appraisals  and  other  valuation  techniques  to  establish  the  value  of  other  real  estate  owned 
(“OREO”),  that  FNCB  acquires  through  foreclosure  proceedings  and  to  determine  loan  impairments.  If  any  of  these 
valuations  are  inaccurate,  FNCB’s  financial  statements  may  not  reflect  the  correct  value  of  FNCB’s  OREO,  if  any,  and 
FNCB’s allowance for loan losses may not reflect accurate loan impairments. Inaccurate valuation of OREO or inaccurate 
provisioning  for  loan  losses could have  a material  adverse effect  on  FNCB’s business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. 

19 

  
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
 
 
FNCB may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions. 

FNCB’s  ability  to  engage  in  routine  funding  transactions  could  be  adversely  affected  by  the  actions  and  commercial 
soundness  of  other  financial  institutions.  Financial  services  companies  are  interrelated  as  a  result  of  trading,  clearing, 
counterparty and other relationships. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services 
companies, or the financial services industry generally, could lead to market-wide liquidity problems and losses or defaults 
by FNCB or other institutions. These losses could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition 
and results of operations. 

Damage to FNCB’s reputation could significantly harm its businesses, competitive position and prospects for growth.  

FNCB’s ability to attract and retain investors, customers, clients, and employees could be adversely affected by damage to 
its reputation resulting from various sources, including employee misconduct, litigation, or regulatory outcomes; failure to 
deliver minimum standards of service and quality; compliance failures; unethical behavior; unintended breach of confidential 
information; and the activities of FNCB’s clients, customers, or counterparties. Actions by the financial services industry in 
general, or by certain entities or individuals within it, also could have a significantly adverse impact on FNCB’s reputation. 

FNCB’s actual or perceived failure to identify and address various issues, including failure to properly address operational 
risks, could also give rise to reputational risk that could negatively impact business prospects. These issues include legal and 
regulatory requirements; consumer protection, fair lending, and privacy issues; properly maintaining customer and associated 
personal information; record keeping; protecting against money laundering; sales and trading practices; and ethical issues. 

FNCB may be a defendant from time to time in a variety of litigation and other actions, which could have a material 
adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

FNCB has been and may continue to be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation matters arising out of its business. 
An increased number of lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits and other consumer driven litigation, have been 
filed and will likely continue to be filed against financial institutions, which may involve substantial compensatory and/or 
punitive damages. Management believes the risk of litigation generally increases during downturns in the national and local 
economies. FNCB’s insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against it, and any claims asserted against it, 
regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm its reputation and may cause it to incur significant expense. Should the 
ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on 
its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, FNCB may not be able to obtain appropriate types 
or levels of insurance in the future, nor may it be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all. 
For additional discussion of FNCB’s current legal matters, refer to Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” of this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. 

FNCB depends on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties. 

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, FNCB may rely on 
information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial information. FNCB may also rely 
on  representations  of  customers  and  counterparties  as  to  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  that  information.  In  deciding 
whether to extend credit, FNCB may rely upon customers' representations that their financial statements conform to GAAP 
and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. FNCB 
also may rely on customer representations and certifications, or audit or accountants' reports, with respect to the business and 
financial condition of its customers. FNCB’s financial condition, results of operations, financial reporting and reputation 
could be negatively affected if FNCB relies on materially misleading, false, inaccurate or fraudulent information. 

FNCB may face risks with respect to future expansion or acquisition activity. 

FNCB may selectively seek to expand its banking operations through limited de novo branching or opportunistic acquisition 
activities. FNCB cannot be certain that any expansion activity, through de novo branching, acquisition of branches of another 
financial institution or a whole institution, or the establishment or acquisition of nonbanking financial service companies, 
will  prove profitable  or will  increase  shareholder  value. The  success of  any  acquisition will  depend,  in part, on  FNCB’s 
ability to realize the estimated cost savings and revenue enhancements from combining its business and that of the target 
company. FNCB’s ability to realize increases in revenue will depend, in part, on its ability to retain customers and employees, 
and to capitalize on existing relationships for the provision of additional products and services. If FNCB estimates turn out 
to be incorrect or FNCB is not able to successfully combine companies, the anticipated cost savings and increased revenues 
may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. It is possible that the integration process could 
result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing business, diversion of management attention, 
20 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
or  inconsistencies  in  standards,  controls,  procedures  and  policies  that  adversely  affect  FNCB’s  ability  to  maintain 
relationships with clients and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. As with any combination of 
banking institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause FNCB to lose customers or cause customers to withdraw their 
deposits. Customers may not readily accept changes to their banking arrangements that FNCB makes as part of, or following, 
an  acquisition.  Additionally, the value of  an  acquisition  to FNCB  is dependent on  its  ability  to  successfully  identify  and 
estimate the magnitude of any asset quality issues of acquired companies. 

FNCB  may  not  be  successful  in  overcoming  these  risks  or  other  problems  encountered  in  connection  with  potential 
acquisitions or other expansion activity. FNCB’s inability to overcome these risks could have an adverse effect on FNCB’s 
ability to implement its business strategy and enhance shareholder value, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect 
on FNCB’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, if FNCB records goodwill in connection with 
any acquisition, FNCB’s financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected if that goodwill is determined 
to be impaired, which would require FNCB to take an impairment charge. 

FNCB could be subject to environmental risks and associated costs on its foreclosed real estate assets. 

A substantial portion of FNCB’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, FNCB 
may foreclose on and take title to properties securing loans. There is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found 
on these properties and that FNCB could be liable for remediation costs, as well as personal injury and property damage. 
Environmental laws may require FNCB to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property's value 
or limit FNCB’s ability to sell the affected property. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with 
an  environmental  hazard  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  FNCB’s  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. 

Risks Related to FNCB’s Industry 

Federal  and  state  regulators  periodically  examine FNCB’s business  and  may  require FNCB to  remediate  adverse 
examination findings or may take enforcement action against FNCB. 

The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and 
Securities (“PDBS”), periodically examine FNCB’s business, including its compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a 
result of an examination, the Federal Reserve, FDIC or PDBS were to determine that FNCB’s financial condition, capital 
resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of FNCB’s operations had become 
unsatisfactory, or that FNCB were in violation of any law or regulation, they may take a number of different remedial actions 
as  they  deem  appropriate.  These  actions  include  the power  to require  FNCB  to remediate  any  such adverse  examination 
findings. 

In addition, these agencies have the power to take enforcement action against FNCB to enjoin "unsafe or unsound" practices, 
to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation of law or regulation or unsafe or unsound 
practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in FNCB’s capital, to direct the 
sale of subsidiaries or other assets, to limit dividends and distributions, to restrict FNCB’s growth, to assess civil money 
penalties against FNCB or its officers or directors, to remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions 
cannot be corrected or there is imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate FNCB’s deposit insurance and place the Bank 
into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory enforcement action against FNCB could have a material adverse effect 
on its business, financial condition and results of operations. 

FNCB may be required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for the Bank in times of stress. 

FNCB, as a bank holding company, is required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and to 
commit resources to support the Bank if necessary. FNCB may be required to commit additional resources to the Bank at 
times when FNCB may not be in a financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in FNCB’s, or its 
shareholders’ or creditors’, best interests to do so. A requirement to provide such support is  more likely during times of 
financial stress for FNCB and the Bank, which may make any capital FNCB is required to raise to provide such support more 
expensive than it might otherwise be. In addition, any capital loans FNCB makes to the Bank are subordinate in right of 
repayment to deposit liabilities of the Bank.

FNCB is subject to extensive government regulation, supervision and possible regulatory enforcement actions, which may 
subject it to higher costs and lower shareholder returns. 

The banking industry is subject to extensive regulation and supervision that govern almost all aspects of its operations. The 
extensive  regulatory  framework  is  primarily  intended  to  protect  the  federal  deposit  insurance  fund  and  depositors,  not 
shareholders. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations can be difficult and costly and, in some instances, may put 
banks at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors such as finance companies, mortgage banking 
companies,  leasing  companies  and  internet-based  Fintech  companies.  FNCB’s  regulatory  authorities  have  extensive 
discretion  in  their  supervisory  and  enforcement  activities,  including  with  respect  to  the  imposition  of  restrictions  on  the 
operation of a bank or a bank holding company, the imposition of significant fines, the ability to delay or deny merger or 
other regulatory applications, the classification of assets by a bank, and the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses, 
among other matters. If they deem FNCB to be operating in a manner inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices, 
these  regulatory  authorities  can  require  the  entry  into  informal  and  formal  supervisory  agreements,  including  board 
resolutions, memoranda of understanding, settlement agreements and consent or cease and desist orders, pursuant to which 
FNCB would be required to implement identified corrective actions to address cited concerns and/or to refrain from taking 
certain  actions  in  the  form  of  injunctive  relief.  In  recent  years,  the  banking  industry  has  faced  increased  regulation  and 
scrutiny; for instance, areas such as BSA compliance (including BSA and related anti-money laundering regulations) and 
real estate-secured consumer lending (such as Truth-in-Lending regulations, changes in Real Estate Settlement Procedures 
Act  regulations,  implementation  of  licensing  and  registration  requirements  for  mortgage  originators  and  more  recently, 
heightened  regulatory  attention  to  mortgage  and  foreclosure-related  activities  and  exposures)  are  being  confronted  with 
escalating regulatory expectations and scrutiny. Non-compliance with laws and regulations such as these, even in cases of 
inadvertent non-compliance, could result in litigation, significant fines and/or sanctions. Any failure to comply with, or any 
change in, any applicable regulation and supervisory requirement, or change in regulation or enforcement by such authorities, 
whether in the form of policies, regulations, legislation, rules, orders, enforcement actions, or decisions, could have a material 
impact on FNCB, the Bank and other affiliates, and its operations. Federal economic and monetary policy may also affect 
FNCB’s ability to attract deposits and other funding sources, make loans and investments, and achieve satisfactory interest 
spreads. Any failure to comply with such regulation or supervision could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil 
money  penalties  and/or  reputation  damage,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  FNCB’s  business,  financial 
condition and results of operations. In addition, compliance with any such action could distract management’s attention from 
FNCB’s operations, cause it to incur significant expenses, restrict it from engaging in potentially profitable activities and 
limit its ability to raise capital. 

New  or  changed  legislation  or  regulation  and  regulatory  initiatives  could  adversely  affect  FNCB  through  increased 
regulation and increased costs of doing business. 

Changes in federal and state legislation and regulation may affect FNCB’s operations. New and modified regulations, such 
as the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, may have unforeseen or unintended consequences on the banking industry. The Dodd-
Frank Act has implemented significant changes to the U.S. financial system, including the creation of new regulatory agencies 
(such as the Financial Stability Oversight Council to oversee systemic risk and the CFPB to develop and enforce rules for 
consumer  financial  products),  changes  in  retail  banking  regulations,  and  changes  to  deposit  insurance  assessments.  For 
example, the Dodd-Frank Act has implemented new requirements with respect to “qualified mortgages” and new mortgage 
servicing standards have, and may continue to, increase costs associated with this business. For a more detailed description, 
see the section entitled “Business – The Bank – Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” included in Item 1 to this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K. 

Additionally, final rules to implement Basel III adopted in July 2013 revise risk-based and leverage capital requirements and 
limit  capital  distributions  and  certain discretionary  bonuses  if  a banking organization does not  hold  the required  “capital 
conservation buffer.” The rule became effective for FNCB on January 1, 2015, with some additional transition periods. This 
additional  regulation  could  increase  compliance  costs  and  otherwise  adversely  affect  operations.  For  a  more  detailed 
description of the final rules, see the description in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Capital 
Adequacy Requirements”. The potential also exists for additional federal or state laws or regulations, or changes in policy or 
interpretations,  affecting  many  of  FNCB’s  operations,  including  capital  levels,  lending  and  funding  practices,  insurance 
assessments, and liquidity standards. The effect of any such changes and their interpretation and application by regulatory 
authorities cannot be predicted, may increase FNCB’s cost of doing business and otherwise affect FNCB’s operations, may 
significantly affect the markets in which it does business, and could have a materially adverse effect on FNCB. 

FNCB is also subject to the guidelines under the GLB Act. The GLB Act guidelines require, among other things, that each 
financial  institution  develop,  implement  and  maintain  a  written,  comprehensive  information  security  program  containing 
safeguards  that  are  appropriate  to  the  financial  institution’s  size  and  complexity,  the  nature  and  scope  of  the  financial 
institution’s activities and the sensitivity of any customer information at issue. In recent years there also has been increasing 
22 

  
  
  
  
  
enforcement activity in the areas of privacy, information security and data protection in the United States, including at the 
federal level. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations regarding the privacy, security and protection of customer 
and  employee  data  could  result  in  higher  compliance  and  technology  costs.  In  addition,  non-compliance  could  result  in 
potentially significant fines, penalties and damage to FNCB’s reputation and brand. 

The Federal Reserve may also set higher capital requirements for holding companies whose circumstances warrant it. For 
example, holding companies experiencing significant internal growth or making acquisitions are expected to maintain strong 
capital  positions  substantially  above  the  minimum  supervisory  levels,  without  significant  reliance  on  intangible  assets. 
FNCB’s regulatory capital ratios currently are in excess of the levels established for "well capitalized" institutions. Future 
regulatory change could impose higher capital standards. 

Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the "Regulatory Relief Act") directed 
the federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR"), of not less that 8% and not more than 
10% for qualifying community banks and bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. 
Qualifying community banking organizations that exceed the CBLR level established by the agencies, and that elect to be 
covered by the CBLR framework, will be considered to have met:  (i) the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital 
requirements under the banking agencies’ capital rules; (ii) the capital ratio requirements necessary to be considered “well 
capitalized” under the banking agencies’ prompt corrective action framework in the case of insured depository institutions; 
and (iii) any other applicable capital or leverage requirements. If we qualify for this simplified capital regime, there can be 
no  assurance  that  satisfaction  of  the  CBLR  will  provide  adequate  capital  for  our  operations  and  growth,  or  an  adequate 
cushion against increase levels of nonperforming assets or weakened economic conditions 

Any new or revised standards adopted in the future may require us to maintain materially more capital, with common equity 
as a more predominant component, or manage the configuration of our assets and liabilities to comply with formulaic liquidity 
requirements. We may not be able to raise additional capital at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Failure to maintain capital 
to meet current or future regulatory requirements could have a significant material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.] 

FNCB faces a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering 
statutes and regulations. 

The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools to Intercept and 
Obstruct  Terrorism  Act  of  2001,  or  the  USA  Patriot Act  or  Patriot  Act,  and other  laws  and regulations  require  financial 
institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and to file reports such 
as suspicious activity reports and currency transaction reports. FNCB is required to comply with these and other anti-money 
laundering  requirements.  FNCB’s  federal  and  state  banking  regulators,  the  Financial  Crimes  Enforcement  Network 
(“FinCEN”), and other government agencies are authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of anti-
money laundering requirements. FNCB is also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the regulations issued and 
enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). If FNCB’s program is deemed deficient, FNCB could be subject 
to liability, including fines, civil money penalties and other regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on FNCB’s 
business  operations  and  its  ability  to  pay  dividends,  restrictions  on  mergers  and  acquisitions  activity,  restrictions  on 
expansion, and restrictions on entering new business lines. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat 
money  laundering  and  terrorist  financing  could  also  have  significant  reputational  consequences  for  FNCB.  Any  of  these 
circumstances could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 

FNCB is subject to numerous "fair and responsible banking" laws designed to protect consumers, and failure to comply 
with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions. 

The Community Reinvestment Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws and 
regulations,  including  state  laws  and  regulations,  prohibit  discriminatory  lending  practices  by  financial  institutions.  The 
Federal Trade Commission Act and the Dodd-Frank Act prohibit unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices by financial 
institutions.  The  U.S.  Department  of  Justice,  or  DOJ,  federal  banking  agencies,  and  other  federal  and  state  agencies  are 
responsible for enforcing these fair and responsible banking laws and regulations. A challenge to an institution’s compliance 
with fair and responsible banking laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including damages and 
civil  money  penalties,  injunctive  relief,  restrictions  on  mergers  and  acquisitions  activity,  restrictions  on  expansion  and 
restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s performance 
under  fair  lending  laws  in  private  class  action  litigation.  Such  actions  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  FNCB’s 
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. 

23 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
FNCB  is subject  to  laws  regarding  the  privacy,  information  security  and  protection  of  personal  information  and  any 
violation of these laws or another incident involving personal, confidential or proprietary information of individuals could 
damage FNCB’s reputation and otherwise adversely affect FNCB’s business. 

FNCB’s business requires the collection and retention of large volumes of customer data, including personally identifiable 
information  (“PII”),  in  various  information  systems  that  FNCB  maintains  and  in  those  maintained  by  third  party  service 
providers. FNCB also maintains important internal company data such as PII about its employees and information relating 
to its operations. FNCB is subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations governing the privacy and protection of PII 
of  individuals  (including  customers,  employees  and  other  third  parties).  For  example,  FNCB’s  business  is  subject  to  the 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or the GLB Act, which, among other things: (i) imposes certain limitations on FNCB’s ability to 
share  nonpublic  PII  about  FNCB’s  customers  with  nonaffiliated  third  parties;  (ii) requires  that  FNCB  provides  certain 
disclosures to customers about its information collection, sharing and security practices and afford customers the right to "opt 
out" of any information sharing by FNCB with nonaffiliated third parties (with certain exceptions); and (iii) requires that 
FNCB develops, implements and maintains a written comprehensive information security program containing appropriate 
safeguards  based  on  FNCB’s  size  and  complexity,  the  nature  and  scope  of  its  activities,  and  the  sensitivity  of  customer 
information FNCB processes, as well as plans for responding to data security breaches. Various federal and state banking 
regulators and states have also enacted data breach notification requirements with varying levels of individual, consumer, 
regulatory or law enforcement notification in the event of a security breach. Ensuring that FNCB’s collection, use, transfer 
and storage of PII complies with all applicable laws and regulations can increase FNCB’s costs. Furthermore, FNCB may 
not be able to ensure that customers and other third parties have appropriate controls in place to protect the confidentiality of 
the information that they exchange with FNCB, particularly where such information is transmitted by electronic means. If 
personal,  confidential  or  proprietary  information  of  customers  or  others  were  to  be  mishandled  or  misused  (in  situations 
where, for example, such information was erroneously provided to parties who are not permitted to have the information, or 
where such information was intercepted or otherwise compromised by third parties), FNCB could be exposed to litigation or 
regulatory sanctions under privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Concerns regarding the effectiveness of FNCB’s 
measures to safeguard PII, or even the perception that such measures are inadequate, could cause FNCB to lose customers or 
potential customers and thereby reduce FNCB’s revenues. Accordingly, any failure, or perceived failure, to comply with 
applicable privacy or data protection laws and regulations may subject FNCB to inquiries, examinations and investigations 
that  could  result  in  requirements  to  modify  or  cease  certain  operations  or  practices  or  in  significant  liabilities,  fines  or 
penalties, and could damage FNCB’s reputation and otherwise adversely affect FNCB’s operations, financial condition and 
results of operations. 

Rulemaking changes implemented by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may result in higher regulatory and 
compliance costs that may adversely affect FNCB’s business. 

The Dodd-Frank Act created a new, independent federal agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, which 
was granted broad  rulemaking,  supervisory and  enforcement powers under various federal  consumer financial  protection 
laws. The consumer protection provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and the examination, supervision and enforcement of those 
laws and implementing regulations issued by the CFPB have created a more intense and complex environment for consumer 
finance  regulation.  The  ultimate  impact  of  this  heightened  scrutiny  is  uncertain  but  could  result  in  changes  to  pricing, 
practices, products and procedures. It could also result in increased costs related to regulatory oversight, supervision and 
examination. These changes could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

Potential  limitations  on  incentive  compensation  contained  in  proposed  federal  agency  rulemaking  may  adversely 
affect FNCB’s ability to attract and retain its highest performing employees. 

The  Federal  Reserve,  other  federal  banking  agencies  and  the  SEC  have  jointly  published  proposed  rules  designed  to 
implement  provisions  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act  prohibiting  incentive  compensation  arrangements  that  would  encourage 
inappropriate risk taking at covered financial institutions, which includes a bank or bank holding company with $1 billion or 
more in consolidated assets. It cannot be determined at this time whether or when a final rule will be adopted and whether 
compliance  with  such  a  final  rule  will  substantially  affect  the  manner  in  which  FNCB  structures  compensation  for  its 
executives  and  other  employees.  Depending  on  the  nature  and  application  of  the  final  rules,  FNCB  may  not  be  able  to 
successfully compete with financial institutions and other companies that are not subject to some or all of the rules to retain 
and attract executives and other high performing employees. 

24 

  
   
  
  
  
  
 
 
The Bank’s FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase. 

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, the Bank is subject to insurance assessments 
based on the Bank’s average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity. The Bank’s regular assessments are 
determined by its risk classification, which is based on its regulatory capital levels and the level of supervisory concern that 
it poses. Numerous bank failures during the financial crisis and increases in the statutory deposit insurance limits increased 
resolution costs to the FDIC and put significant pressure on the Deposit Insurance Fund. In order to maintain a strong funding 
position  and  the  reserve  ratios  of  the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund  required  by  statute  and  FDIC  estimates  of  projected 
requirements, the FDIC has the power to increase deposit insurance assessment rates and impose special assessments on all 
FDIC-insured financial institutions. Any future increases or special assessments could reduce FNCB’s profitability and could 
have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Risks Related to FNCB’s Common Stock 

The price of FNCB’s common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may make it difficult for shareholders to resell 
shares of common stock at a time or price they find attractive. 

FNCB’s stock price may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control. These 
factors include, among others: 

● 

● 
● 

● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in operating results and financial condition; 
changes  in  financial  estimates  or  publication  of  research  reports  and  recommendations  by  financial  analysts  or
actions taken by rating agencies with respect to FNCB or other financial institutions; 
speculation in the press or investment community generally or relating to FNCB’s reputation or the financial services
industry; 
failure to declare dividends on FNCB’s common stock from time to time; 
failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates; 
failure to integrate any future acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from any future acquisitions; 
strategic actions by FNCB or its competitors, such as acquisitions, restructurings, dispositions or financings; 
fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of FNCB’s competitors or other companies that investors deem
comparable to FNCB; 
● 
future sales of FNCB’s equity or equity-related securities; 
●  proposed or adopted regulatory changes or developments; 
● 
● 
● 
●  geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts; 
●  domestic and international economic factors unrelated to FNCB’s performance; and 
●  general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services

anticipated or pending audits or litigation that involve or affect FNCB; 
any future investigations or proceedings that involve or affect FNCB; 
adverse weather conditions, including floods, tornadoes and hurricanes; 

industry. 

In addition, in recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility 
has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including for reasons unrelated to 
their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect FNCB’s stock price, notwithstanding its 
operating results. FNCB expects that the market price of its common stock will continue to fluctuate and there can be no 
assurances about the levels of the market prices for its common stock. 

General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic 
slowdowns  or  recessions,  interest  rate  changes  or  credit  loss  trends,  could  also  cause  FNCB’s  stock  price  to  decrease 
regardless of operating results. 

An active public market for FNCB’s common stock does not currently exist. As a result, shareholders may not be able to 
quickly and easily sell their shares of common stock. 

Until March 5, 2018, FNCB’s shares of common stock were quoted on the OTCQX.  An average of 5,669 shares of FNCB’s 
common stock traded on the OTCQX during 2017 on a daily basis. On March 5, 2018, FNCB’s shares of common stock 
began  trading  on  The  Nasdaq  Capital  Market®.  An  active,  liquid  market  for  FNCB’s  shares  of  common  stock  has  not 
previously existed, and there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market will develop, or if one does develop, if it 
can be maintained. The absence of an active trading market may make it difficult for FNCB shareholders to sell FNCB’s 
shares of common stock at the prevailing price when desired or at all, particularly in large quantities. For a further discussion,

in 

Shares of the common stock are equity interests in FNCB and do not constitute indebtedness. As such, shares of FNCB’s 
common stock rank junior to all current and future indebtedness and other non-equity claims on FNCB with respect to assets 
available  to  satisfy  claims  on  FNCB,  including  in  a  liquidation  of  FNCB.  FNCB  may,  and  the  Bank  and  FNCB’s  other 
subsidiaries  may  also,  incur  additional  indebtedness  from  time  to  time  and  may  increase  FNCB’s  aggregate  level  of 
outstanding indebtedness. 

FNCB’s board of directors is authorized to cause FNCB to issue additional classes or series of preferred stock without any 
action on the part of the shareholders. If FNCB issues preferred shares in the future that have a preference over its common 
stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, or if FNCB issues preferred shares with voting rights that 
dilute the voting power of the common stock, then the rights of holders of FNCB’s common stock or the market price of 
FNCB’s common stock could be adversely affected. 

FNCB’s ability to pay dividends may become limited by regulatory restrictions. In addition, the ability of the Bank to pay 
dividends to FNCB is limited by the Bank’s obligations to maintain sufficient accumulated net earnings and by other general 
restrictions on dividends that are applicable to state nonmember banks. 

Holders of FNCB’s common stock are only entitled to receive the dividends that FNCB’s board of directors may declare out 
of funds legally available for those payments. Although FNCB has historically paid cash dividends on its common stock, 
FNCB is not required to do so. FNCB cannot assure shareholders that it will continue paying dividends in the future. This 
could  adversely  affect  the  market  price  of  FNCB’s  common  stock.  Also,  as  discussed  above,  FNCB  is  a  bank  holding 
company  and  its  ability  to  declare  and  pay  dividends  depends  in  part  on  federal  regulatory  considerations,  including  the 
guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends. 

FNCB may need to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed and on 
terms favorable to current shareholders. 

Laws, regulations and banking regulators require FNCB and the Bank to maintain adequate levels of capital to support their 
operations. In addition, capital levels are determined by FNCB’s management and Board of Directors based on capital levels 
that they believe are necessary to support business operations. Management regularly evaluates its present and future capital 
requirements  and  needs  and  analyzes  capital  raising  alternatives  and  options.  Although  FNCB  succeeded  in  meeting  its 
current regulatory capital requirements, it may need to raise additional capital in the future to support growth, possible loan 
losses or potential OTTI during future periods, to meet future regulatory capital requirements or for other reasons. 

The Board of Directors may determine from time to time that FNCB needs to raise additional capital by issuing additional 
shares of common stock or other securities. FNCB is not restricted from issuing additional shares of common stock, including 
securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Because FNCB’s 
decision  to  issue  securities  in  any  future offering will  depend on  market  conditions  and  other  factors  beyond  its  control, 
FNCB cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future offerings, or the prices at which such offerings 
may be affected. Such offerings will likely be dilutive to common shareholders from ownership, earnings and book value 
perspectives. New investors also may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to, and that adversely affect, its 
then current common shareholders. Additionally, if FNCB raises additional capital by making additional offerings of debt or 
preferred equity securities, upon liquidation, holders of its debt securities and shares of preferred shares, and lenders with 
respect to other borrowings, will receive distributions of available assets prior to the holders of common stock. Additional 
equity offerings may dilute the holdings of existing shareholders or reduce the market price of FNCB’s common stock, or 
both. Holders of FNCB’s common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. 

FNCB cannot provide any assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Any occurrence 
that may limit access to the capital markets may adversely affect FNCB’s capital costs and its ability to raise capital and, in 
turn, its liquidity. Moreover, if FNCB needs to raise capital, it may have to do so when many other financial institutions are 
also seeking to raise capital and would have to compete with those institutions for investors. An inability to raise additional 
capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition and 
results of operations.

An investment in FNCB’s common stock is not an insured deposit. 

FNCB’s  common  stock  is  not  a  bank  deposit  and,  therefore,  is  not  insured  against  loss  by  the  FDIC,  any  other  deposit 
insurance  fund  or by  any  other  public  or private  entity.  Investment  in  FNCB’s  common  stock  is  inherently  risky for  the 
reasons  described  in  this  “Risk  Factors”  section,  and  elsewhere  in  FNCB’s  reports  filed  with  the  SEC,  including  under 
heading “Risk Factors” in FNCB’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. Investment in FNCB’s common stock 
is also subject to the market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, shareholders may lose 
some or all of their investment in FNCB’s common stock. 

Shareholders may not receive dividends on FNCB’s common stock. 

Although FNCB has historically declared quarterly cash dividends on its common stock, FNCB is not required to do so and 
may reduce or cease to pay common stock dividends in the future. If FNCB reduces or ceases to pay common stock dividends, 
the market price of its common stock could be adversely affected. 

The principal source of funds from which FNCB pays cash dividends are the dividends received from the Bank. Banking 
laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania restrict the amount of dividends and loans a bank may make to 
its parent company. In addition, under The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, banks may not 
pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the bank would be undercapitalized. 

If FNCB fails to pay dividends, capital appreciation, if any, of its common stock may be the sole opportunity for gains on an 
investment in its common stock. In addition, in the event the Bank becomes unable to pay dividends to FNCB, FNCB may 
not  be  able  to  service  its  debt  or  pay  its  other  obligations  or  pay  dividends  on  its  common  stock  and  preferred  stock. 
Accordingly, FNCB’s inability to receive dividends from the Bank could also have a material adverse effect on its business, 
financial condition and results of operations and the value of a shareholder’s investment in FNCB’s common stock. 

An entity holding as little as a 5% interest in FNCB’s outstanding securities could, under certain circumstances, be subject 
to regulation as a “bank holding company.” 

Any entity, including a “group” composed of natural persons, owning or controlling with the power to vote 25% or more of 
FNCB’s outstanding securities, or 5% or more if the holder otherwise exercises a “controlling influence” over FNCB, may 
be  subject  to  regulation  as  a  “bank  holding  company”  in  accordance  with  the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  of  1956,  as 
amended, or the BHC Act. In addition, (a) any bank holding company or foreign bank with a U.S. presence may be required 
to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act to acquire or retain 5% or more of FNCB’s outstanding 
securities and (b) any person not otherwise defined as a company by the BHC Act and its implementing regulations may be 
required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the Change in Bank Control Act to acquire or retain 10% or 
more of FNCB’s outstanding securities. Becoming a bank holding company imposes statutory and regulatory restrictions and 
obligations,  such  as  providing  managerial  and  financial  strength  for  its  bank  subsidiaries.  Regulation  as  a  bank  holding 
company  could  require  the  holder  to  divest  all  or  a  portion  of  the  holder’s  investment  in  FNCB’s  securities  or  those 
nonbanking investments that may be deemed impermissible or incompatible with bank holding company status, such as a 
material investment in a company unrelated to banking. 

The requirements of being a public company may strain FNCB’s resources and divert management's attention. 

FNCB is a public company, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and applicable 
securities  rules  and  regulations.  Under  FDIC  regulations,  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  and  regulations  increase  the  scope, 
complexity and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices over those of non-public or non-reporting 
companies. Among other things, the Exchange Act requires that FNCB file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect 
to  its  business  and  operating  results  and  maintain  effective  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  internal  control  over 
financial reporting. As a Nasdaq listed company, FNCB is also required to prepare and file proxy materials which meet the 
requirements of the Exchange Act and the SEC's proxy rules. Compliance with these rules and regulations increase FNCB’s 
legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and increase demand on 
FNCB’s  systems  and  resources,  particularly  it  FNCB  becomes  ineligible  to  report  as  a  “smaller  reporting  company”  as 
defined in the SEC’s regulations. In order to maintain, appropriately document and, if required, improve FNCB’s disclosure 
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet the standards required by the Sarbanes-Oxley 
Act, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted 
from other business concerns, which could harm FNCB’s business and operating results. Additionally, any failure by FNCB 
to file its periodic reports with the SEC in a timely manner could, among other things, harm its reputation, cause its investors 
and potential investors to lose confidence in FNCB, restrict trading in or reduce the market price of FNCB’s common stock, 
and potentially limit its ability to access the capital markets.

As  a  public  company,  FNCB  incurs  significant  legal,  accounting,  insurance,  compliance  and  other  expenses.  Any 
deficiencies in FNCB’s financial reporting or internal controls could materially and adversely affect its business and the 
market price of FNCB’s common stock. 

As a public company, FNCB incurs significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses. These costs and compliance 
with the rules of the SEC and the rules of Nasdaq increase FNCB’s legal and financial compliance costs and make some 
activities  more  time  consuming  and  costly.  SEC  rules  require  that  FNCB’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial 
Officer periodically certify the existence and effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. In addition, FNCB 
is  required  to  engage  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  to  audit  and  opine  on  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness  of  its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  This  process  requires  significant  documentation  of  policies, 
procedures and systems, and review of that documentation and testing of FNCB’s internal control over financial reporting by 
its  internal  auditing  and  accounting  staff  and  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm.  This  process  requires 
considerable time and attention from management, which could prevent FNCB from successfully implementing its business 
initiatives and improving its business, financial condition and results of operations, any strain FNCB’s internal resources, 
and will increase its operating costs. FNCB may experience higher than anticipated operating expenses and outside auditor 
fees during the implementation of these changes and thereafter. 

During the course of FNCB’s testing it may identify deficiencies that would have to be remediated to satisfy the SEC rules 
for certification of FNCB’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is defined by the standards issued 
by the PCAOB as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in a 
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of FNCB’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented 
or detected on a timely basis. As a consequence, FNCB would have to disclose in periodic reports it files with the SEC any 
material  weakness  in  its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  The  existence  of  a  material  weakness  would  preclude 
management  from  concluding  that  FNCB’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  effective  and  would  preclude  its 
independent  auditors  from  expressing  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  its  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting. In addition, disclosures of deficiencies of this type in FNCB’s SEC reports could cause investors to lose confidence 
in its financial reporting, and may negatively affect the market price of its common stock, and could result in the delisting of 
its securities from the securities exchanges on which they trade. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary to produce 
reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud. If FNCB has deficiencies in its disclosure controls and procedures or internal 
control over financial reporting, it may materially and adversely affect FNCB. 

FNCB’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting may not achieve their intended 
objectives. 

FNCB maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure the timely filing of reports as specified in the rules 
and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. FNCB also maintains a system of internal control over financial 
reporting.  These  controls  may  not  achieve their  intended objectives.  Control processes  that  involve human  diligence  and 
compliance, such as its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, are subject to lapses 
in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Controls can also be circumvented by collusion or improper 
management override. Because of such limitations, there are risks that material misstatements due to error or fraud may not 
be prevented or detected and that information may not be reported on a timely basis. If FNCB’s controls are not effective, it 
could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and market for its common stock, and 
could subject it to additional regulatory scrutiny. 

Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings.  

From  time  to  time  there  are  changes  in  the  financial  accounting  and  reporting  standards  that  govern  the  preparation  of 
financial statements. These changes can materially impact how FNCB records and reports its financial condition and results 
of operations. In some instances, FNCB could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the 
restatement of prior period financial statements. 

Changes which have been approved for future implementation, or which are currently proposed or expected to be proposed 
or adopted include requirements that we: (i) calculate the allowance for loan losses on the basis of the current expected credit 
losses over the lifetime of our loans, referred to as the CECL model, which is expected to be applicable to us beginning in 
2020; and (ii) record the value of and liabilities relating to operating leases on our balance sheet, which is expected to be 
applicable beginning in 2019. These changes could adversely affect our capital, regulatory capital ratios, ability to make 
larger  loans,  earnings  and performance  metrics. Any  such  changes  could have  a  material  adverse  effect on our  business, 
financial condition and results of operations. 

28 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
Under the CECL model, banks will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held 
for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected 
credit  losses  is  to  be  based  on  information  about  past  events,  including  historical  experience,  current  conditions,  and 
reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place 
at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the 
"incurred loss" model required under current GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. 
Accordingly, we expect that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how we determine our allowance for loan 
losses, and could require us to significantly increase our allowance. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility 
in the level of the allowance for loan losses. If we are required to materially increase the level of the allowance for loan losses 
for  any  reason,  such  increase  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  We  are 
evaluating  the  impact  the  CECL  accounting  model  will  have  on  our  accounting,  but  expect  to  recognize  a  one-time 
cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the 
new standard is effective. We cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time cumulative adjustment or of the 
overall impact of the new standard on our financial condition or results of operations. 

Anti-takeover  provisions  in FNCB’s charter  documents  could  discourage,  delay  or  prevent  a  change  of  control 
of FNCB’s company and diminish the value of FNCB’s common stock. 

Some of the provisions of FNCB’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated 
bylaws, as amended, could make it difficult for its shareholders to change the composition of its board of directors, preventing 
them from changing the composition of management. In addition, the same provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a 
merger or acquisition that FNCB’s shareholders may consider favorable. These provisions include: 

classifying FNCB’s board of directors into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms; 
authorizing FNCB’s board of directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval; 

● 
● 
●  prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors; 
● 

requiring the approval of 75% of FNCB’s shareholders to approve any merger or sale of all, or substantially all,
unless  approval  of  such  proposed  transaction  is  recommended  by  at  least  a  majority  of  FNCB’s  entire  board  of
directors; 
authorizing FNCB’s board of directors to, if it deems advisable, oppose a tender or other offer for FNCB’s securities;
and 
requiring the approval of 75% of FNCB’s shareholders to amend certain provisions relating to business combinations
not approved by the board of directors. 

● 

● 

In addition, pursuant to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the “PBCL”), in the case of a merger or share exchange, 
with some exceptions, FNCB’s board of directors must submit the plan of merger or share exchange to the shareholders for 
approval, and the approval of the plan of merger or share exchange generally requires the approval of the shareholders at a 
meeting at which a quorum consisting of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the plan exists. 

Provisions of the PBCL, applicable to FNCB provide, among other things, that: 

●  FNCB may not engage in a business combination with an “interested shareholder,” generally defined as a holder of
20% of a corporation’s voting stock, during the five-year period after the interested shareholder became such except
under certain specified circumstances; 

●  holders of FNCB’s common stock may object to a “control transaction” involving FNCB (a control transaction is
defined as the acquisition by a person or group of persons acting in concert of at least 20% of the outstanding voting
stock of a corporation), and demand that they be paid a cash payment for the “fair value” of their shares from the
“controlling person or group”; 

●  holders of “control shares” will not be entitled to voting rights with respect to any shares in excess of specified
thresholds,  including  20%  voting  control,  until  the  voting  rights  associated  with  such  shares  are  restored  by  the
affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested shares and the outstanding voting shares of the Company; and 
any “profit,” as defined in the PBCL, realized by any person or group who is or was a “controlling person or group”
with respect to FNCB from the disposition of any equity securities of within 18 months after the person or group
became a “controlling person or group” shall belong to and be recoverable by FNCB. 

● 

These anti-takeover provisions could impede the ability of FNCB’s common shareholders to benefit from a change of control 
and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of FNCB’s common stock and shareholders’ ability 
to realize any potential change-in-control premium.

Short sellers of FNCB’s stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of FNCB’s common stock. 

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow 
from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes 
to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the 
replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short 
seller's interest for the price of the stock to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or 
characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, its business practices and prospects and similar matters calculated to or which 
may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the 
stock short. Issuers whose securities have historically had limited trading volumes or have been susceptible to relatively high 
volatility levels can be particularly vulnerable to such short seller attacks. The publication of any such commentary regarding 
FNCB in the future may bring about a temporary, or possibly long-term, decline in the market price of FNCB’s common 
stock. No assurances can be made that declines in the market price of FNCB’s common stock will not occur in the future, in 
connection  with  such  commentary  by  short  sellers  or  otherwise.  When  the  market  price  of  a  company's  stock  drops 
significantly, it is not unusual for stockholder lawsuits to be filed or threatened against the company and its board of directors 
and for a company to suffer reputational damage. Such lawsuits could cause FNCB to incur substantial costs and divert the 
time and attention of FNCB’s board and management. In addition, reputational damage may affect FNCB’s ability to attract 
and retain deposits and may cause FNCB’s deposit costs to increase, which could adversely affect its liquidity and earnings. 
Reputational damage may also affect FNCB’s ability to attract and retain loan customers and maintain and develop other 
business relationships, which could likewise adversely affect FNCB’s earnings. Negative reports issued by short sellers could 
also negatively impact FNCB’s ability to attract and retain employees.

Properties. 

FNCB  currently  conducts business from  its  headquarters, which  also houses  the  Bank’s  main  office, located  at  102  East 
Drinker  Street,  Dunmore,  Pennsylvania,  18512.  At  December  31,  2018,  FNCB  also  operated  fifteen  additional  branches 
located throughout Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wayne counties, an LPO located in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania 
and  a  lending  center  and  two  administrative  offices  located  in  Dunmore,  Lackawanna  County,  Pennsylvania.  Ten  of  the 
offices are leased and the balance are owned by the Bank. Except for potential remodeling of certain facilities to provide for 
the efficient use of work space and/or to maintain an appropriate appearance, each property is considered reasonably suitable 
and adequate for current and immediate future purposes except as discussed below. 

As part of its responsibilities, management regularly evaluates FNCB’s delivery system and facilities including analyzing 
each office’s operating efficiency, location, foot traffic, structure and design. As a result of these evaluations, in 2017, FNCB 
and  the  Bank  implemented  a  comprehensive  branch  network  improvement  program  that focuses  on  strengthening,  better 
positioning and expanding its market coverage by developing new state-of-the-art customer facilities, as well as relocating 
and consolidating select locations. Initiatives FNCB executed under the branch network improvement program include: 

On January 20, 2017, FNCB opened a LPO in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania and began offering its retail and 
commercial lending products in this new market area. This LPO is located in an office leased by the Bank at 3500 Winchester 
Road, Suites 101 and 102, Allentown, Pennsylvania, 18104. 

On  June  30,  2017,  FNCB  consolidated  its  Honesdale  Route  6  branch  office  located  at  1127  Texas  Palmyra  Highway, 
Honesdale,  Wayne  County,  Pennsylvania  with  its  branch  located  at  1001  Main  Street,  Honesdale,  Pennsylvania.  The 
Honesdale Route 6 property is under an operating lease agreement that expires in 2022.  FNCB continued to operate the 
Honesdale Route 6 location as a remote ATM location for the remainder of 2017 and the majority of 2018. In the fourth 
quarter  of  2018,  FNCB  ceased  operating  this  ATM  location, transferred  the  building  improvements  to  other  real  estate 
owned ("OREO") and listed the property for sale.  

On January 12, 2018, FNCB purchased its  corporate center located at 200 South Blakely Street, Dunmore, Pennsylvania, for 
$2.15 million. FNCB had been leasing this property since 1994.  

On  May  30,  2018,  FNCB  completed  the  relocation  and  consolidation  of  three  branches  located  in  Luzerne  County, 
Pennsylvania into a new state-of-the-art branch office. The three branches that were relocated are: the Hanover Township 
Branch  located  at  734  San  Souci Parkway,  Hanover  Township,  Pennsylvania;  the  Plains  Township Branch  located  at  27 
North River Street, Plains, Pennsylvania; and the Route 315 Branch located at 3 Old Boston Road, Pittston, Pennsylvania.

The new branch office is located in the Richland 315 Development at 1150 Route 315, Wilkes-Barre (Plains Township), 
Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. FNCB leased the three relocated branches and leases the new Luzerne County facility. The 
Hanover Township Branch lease expired October 1, 2018. The Plains Township lease expires on October 31, 2020. FNCB 
currently operates an offsite, remote ATM at this location. Upon relocation, FNCB transferred the leasehold improvements 
for the Route 315 Branch to OREO at their fair value less cost to sell based upon a signed sales agreement from a third party. 
The sale is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019 

On June 14, 2018, FNCB purchased the real property, improvements and fixtures located at 196 N. Main Street, Shavertown, 
Luzerne County, Pennsylvania for $750 thousand to relocate its Back Mountain Branch located at 1919 Memorial Highway, 
Shavertown,  Luzerne  County,  Pennsylvania.  The  new  location facilitates  accessibility  for  customers  and provides FNCB 
with improved retail and commercial visibility. The relocation was completed on December 19, 2018. FNCB was under an 
operating lease for the former location, which expired on February 28, 2019. 

On November 5, 2018, the Bank received approval from its primary regulator to relocate FNCB's main office located at 102 
E. Drinker  Street,  Lackawanna  County,  Pennsylvania,  into  a new  state-of-the-art office  that  is being  constructed directly 
across the street at 100 S. Blakely Street, Dunmore, Lackawanna, County, Pennsylvania. The property is currently owned by 
the Bank and houses a separate drive-thru location, as well as a drive-thru and a walk-up ATM. The project is anticipated to 
cost  $2.0  million  and  will  be  funded  by  cash  generated  through  normal  operations.  The  relocation  is  expected  to  create 
operating efficiencies for the main office, enhance customer service and improve accessibility. FNCB has abandoned the 
existing drive-thru location and has recorded an abandonment charge of $148 thousand, which is included in other losses in 
the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

On  December  14,  2018,  FNCB purchased  the  real  property,  improvements  and  fixtures  located  at  360  South  Mountain 
Boulevard, Mountain Top, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania for $550 thousand. The deed contains a restriction under which 
FNCB has agreed not to operate, sell, or lease the property for a period of six months from the recording of the deed. FNCB 
anticipates opening a new branch at this location by the end of the second quarter of 2019.  

See Note 6, "Bank Premises and Equipment" of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, "Financial 
Statements  and  Supplementary  Data"  to  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  additional  information  about  FNCB's 
properties. 

Item 3.  

Legal Proceedings. 

On  May  24,  2012,  a  putative  shareholder  filed  a  complaint  in  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  for  Lackawanna  County 
(“Shareholder  Derivative  Suit”)  against  certain  present  and  former  directors  and  officers  of  FNCB  (the  “Individual 
Defendants”) alleging, inter alia, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, and unjust enrichment. FNCB 
was named as a nominal defendant. On February 4, 2014, the Court issued a Final Order and Judgment for the matter granting 
approval  of  a  Stipulation  of  Settlement  (the  “Settlement”)  and  dismissing  all  claims  against  FNCB  and  the  Individual 
Defendants. As part of the Settlement, without admitting any fault, wrongdoing or liability, the Individual Defendants agreed 
to settle the derivative litigation for $5.0 million. The $5.0 million Settlement payment was made to FNCB on March 28, 
2014.  The  Individual  Defendants  reserved  their  rights  to  indemnification  under  FNCB’s  Articles  of  Incorporation  and 
Bylaws,  resolutions  adopted by  the  Board, the  Pennsylvania  Business Corporation  Law  and  any  and  all rights  they  have 
against  FNCB’s  and  the  Bank’s  insurance  carriers.  In  addition,  in  conjunction  with  the  Settlement,  FNCB  accrued  $2.5 
million related to fees and costs of the plaintiff’s attorneys, which was included in non-interest expense in the consolidated 
statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2013. On April 1, 2014, FNCB paid the $2.5 million related to fees 
and costs of the plaintiff’s attorneys and partial indemnification of the Individual Defendants in the amount of $2.5 million. 
Commencing on July 1, 2017, FNCB made partial indemnifications to the Individual Defendants through monthly principal 
payments, made on behalf of the Individual Defendants, of $25,000 plus accrued interest to First Northern Bank and Trust 
Co. On April 11, 2018, FNCB indemnified the Individual Defendants by paying in full the $2.5 million, plus accrued interest 
to First Northern Bank & Trust Co. 

On September 5, 2012, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (“F&D”) filed an action against FNCB and the Bank, as 
well as several current and former officers and directors of FNCB, in the United States District Court for the Middle District 
of Pennsylvania. F&D asserted a claim for the rescission of a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy and a bond that it had 
issued to FNCB. On November 9, 2012, FNCB and the Bank answered the claim and asserted counterclaims for the losses 
and expenses already incurred by FNCB and the Bank. FNCB and the other defendants defended the claims and opposed 
F&D’s requested relief by way of counterclaims. On December 21, 2018, FNCB, the Bank and F&D resolved the dispute by 
entering into a mutual release of all claims.  FNCB recognized a gain of $6.0 million after expenses in the fourth quarter of 
2018 in connection with this insurance recovery.

On February 16, 2017, FNCB and the Bank entered into a Class Action Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement 
Agreement”) in the matters filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County to Steven Antonik, Individually, and 
as Administrator of the Estate of Linda Kluska, William R. Howells and Louise A. Howells, Summer Benjamin, and Joshua 
Silfee, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated vs. First National Community Bancorp, Inc. and First National 
Community Bank, Civil Action No. 2013-CV-4438 and Charles Saxe, III, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly 
situated vs. First National Community Bank No. 2013-CV-5071 (collectively, the “Actions”). By entering into this Settlement 
Agreement, the parties to the Actions have resolved the claims made in the complaints to their mutual satisfaction. FNCB 
has not admitted to the validity of any claims or allegations and denies any liability in the claims made and the Plaintiffs have 
not admitted that any claims or allegations lack merit or foundation. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties 
have agreed to the following: 1) FNCB is to pay the Plaintiffs’ class members the aggregate sum of Seven Hundred Fifty 
Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (an amount which FNCB recorded as a liability and corresponding expense in its 2015 operating 
results); 2) Plaintiffs shall release all claims against FNCB related to the Actions; 3) FNCB shall move to vacate or satisfy 
any judgments against any class members arising from the vehicle loans that are the subject of the Actions; and 4) FNCB 
shall waive the deficiency balance of each class member and remove the trade lines on each class members’ credit report 
associated with the subject vehicle loans that are at issue in the Actions for Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. The Settlement 
Agreement provides for an Incentive Award for the representative Plaintiffs and an award to Plaintiffs’ counsel of attorney’s 
fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with their roles in these Actions, subject to Court approval. The Settlement 
Agreement was preliminarily approved by Court Order on February 16, 2017. On March 2, 2017, FNCB paid the Settlement 
Administrator  $750,000  pursuant  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Settlement  Agreement.  The  Settlement  Agreement 
received  final  Court  approval  on  May  31,  2017.  Additionally,  in  association  with  the  subject  vehicle  loans,  FNCB  has 
completed the removal of trade lines on each class members' credit report and satisfied judgments, where applicable, in favor 
of  class  members.  As  previously  mentioned  above  and  in  connection  with  the  primary  terms  of  the  tentative  settlement 
agreement entered by Order of Court on December 17, 2015, FNCB recorded a liability and corresponding expense in the 
amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand ($750,000), which was included in FNCB’s 2015 operating results. 

FNCB has been subject to tax audits, and is also a party to routine litigation involving various aspects of its business, such 
as  employment  practice  claims,  workers  compensation  claims,  claims  to  enforce  liens,  condemnation  proceedings  on 
properties in which FNCB holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other 
issues incident to its business, none of which has or is expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial 
condition, results of operations or liquidity of FNCB.

Item 5.  

Market  for  Registrant’s  Common  Equity,  Related  Shareholder  Matters  and  Issuer  Purchases  of 
Equity Securities. 

Market Prices of Stock and Dividends Paid 

Effective with the market opening on Monday, March 5, 2018, FNCB’s common shares began trading on The Nasdaq Stock 
Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FNCB". During the year ended December 31, 2017 through market opening on 
March 5, 2018. FNCB's common shares were quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “FNCB.”  

On January 28, 2019, FNCB announced that it had commenced a public offering of its shares of common stock in a firm 
commitment underwritten offering. Subsequently, on February 8, 2019, FNCB announced the closing of the public offering 
of 3,285,550 shares of its common stock, which includes 428,550 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of 
the  option  to  purchase  additional  shares  granted  to  underwriters,  at  a  public  offering  price  of  $7.00  per  share,  less  an 
underwriting discount of $0.35 per share. FNCB received net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and offering 
expenses of $21.3 million. 

Holders 

As of February 28, 2019, there were approximately 1786 holders of record of FNCB’s common shares. Because many of 
FNCB’s shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, FNCB is unable to estimate the total 
number of shareholders represented by these record holders. 

Dividends  

Dividends declared and paid were $2.9 million, or $0.17 per share, in 2018 and $2.2 million, or $0.13 per share, in 2017. The 
dividend payout ratio was 21.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018. It is the present intent of the Board of Directors to 
continue  paying  quarterly  dividends  going  forward.  However,  FNCB’s  ability  to  declare  and  pay  future  dividends  is 
dependent upon earnings, financial position, appropriate restrictions under applicable laws, legal and regulatory restrictions 
and other factors relevant at the time FNCB’s Board of Directors considers any declaration of any dividends. For a further 
discussion of FNCB’s and the Bank’s dividend restrictions, refer to Note 14, “Regulatory Matters/Subsequent Events” in the 
notes to consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

On January 30, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share for the first quarter of 2019. The dividend 
is payable on March 15, 2019 to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2019.

Item 7.  

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) represents an overview of the financial condition and results of operations 
of FNCB and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 
and Risk Factors detailed in Item 1A of Part I to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

FNCB is in the business of providing customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and local 
governments and municipalities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, FNCB Bank’s 16 full-service branch offices within its 
primary market area, Northeastern Pennsylvania, and a LPO based in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.  

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

FNCB  may  from  time  to  time  make  written  or  oral  “forward-looking  statements,”  including  statements  contained  in  our 
filings with the SEC, in our reports to shareholders, and in our other communications, which are made in good faith by us 
pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 

These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to FNCB’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, 
anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based 
on various factors (some of which are beyond our control).  The words “may,” “could,” “should,” "will," “would,” “believe,” 
“anticipate,”  “estimate,”  “expect,”  “intend,”  “plan,”  "project,"  "future"  and  similar  expressions  are  intended  to  identify 
forward-looking statements.  

Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and 
assumption that are difficult to predict, including those under "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors," and elsewhere herein. Therefore, 
actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are also 
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the 
date of this report, even if subsequently made available by FNCB on its website or otherwise.  FNCB does not undertake to 
update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of FNCB 
to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition and results of operations 
for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 

FNCB’s  accounting  policies  are  fundamental  to  understanding  management’s  discussion  and  analysis  of  its  financial 
condition and results of operations. Management has identified the policies on the determination of the allowance for loan 
and  lease  losses  (“ALLL”),  securities’  valuation  and  impairment  evaluation,  the  valuation  of  other  real  estate  owned 
(“OREO”) and income taxes to be critical, as management is required to make subjective and/or complex judgments about 
matters that are inherently uncertain and could be subject to revision as new information becomes available. 

The judgments used by management in applying the critical accounting policies discussed below may be affected by changes 
and/or  deterioration  in  the  economic  environment,  which  may  impact  future  financial  results.  Specifically,  subsequent 
evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ALLL in 
future periods, and the inability to collect on outstanding loans could result in increased loan losses. In addition, the valuation 
of certain securities in FNCB’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by illiquidity or dislocation in marketplaces 
resulting in significantly depressed market prices thus leading to impairment losses. 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses 

Management evaluates the credit quality of FNCB’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis, and performs a formal review of the 
adequacy of the ALLL on a quarterly basis. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings 
and is maintained at a level management considers adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio 
as of the evaluation date. Loans, or portions of loans, determined by management to be uncollectible are charged off against 
the ALLL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALLL.  

Determining the amount of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment 
and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses 
on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and consideration of current economic 
35 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their 
examination of FNCB, also review the ALLL, and may require, based on their judgments about information available to them 
at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. 
Additionally, the ALLL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio. 

The ALLL consists of two components, a specific component and a general component. The specific component relates to 
loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral 
value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component 
covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted by qualitative factors. The general reserve component 
of the ALLL is based on pools of unimpaired loans segregated by loan segment and risk rating categories of “Pass”, “Special 
Mention” or “Substandard and Accruing.” Historical loss factors and various qualitative factors are applied based on the risk 
profile in each risk rating category to determine the appropriate reserve related to those loans. Substandard loans on non-
accrual  status  above  the  $100  thousand  loan  relationship  threshold  and  all  loans  considered  troubled  debt  restructurings 
(“TDRs”) are classified as impaired. 

See  Note  2,  “Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies”  and  Note  5,  “Loans”  of  the  notes  to  consolidated  financial 
statements  included  in Item  8,  “Financial  Statements  and Supplementary  Data”  to  this Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K for 
additional information about the ALLL. 

Securities Valuation and Evaluation for Impairment 

Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair value of its investment portfolio. To the extent they exist, unadjusted 
quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1) or quoted prices for similar assets or models using inputs that are observable, 
either directly or indirectly (Level 2) are utilized to determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In the absence 
of observable inputs or if markets are illiquid, valuation techniques are used to determine fair value of any investments that 
require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3). For Level 3 inputs, valuation 
techniques  are  based  on  various  assumptions,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  cash  flows,  discount  rates,  adjustments  for 
nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation values. A significant degree of judgment is involved in valuing investments 
using Level 3 inputs. The use of different assumptions could have a positive or negative effect on FNCB’s financial condition 
or  results  of  operations.  See  Note  4,  “Securities”  and  Note  15,  “Fair  Value  Measurements”  of  the  notes  to  consolidated 
financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” to this Annual Report on Form 10-
K for additional information about FNCB’s securities valuation techniques. 

On a quarterly basis, management evaluates individual investment securities in an unrealized loss position for other than 
temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The evaluation for OTTI requires the use of various assumptions, including but not limited 
to, the length of time an investment’s fair value is less than book value, the severity of the investment’s decline, any credit 
deterioration of the issuer, whether management intends to sell the security, and whether it is more-likely-than-not that FNCB 
will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. Debt investment securities deemed to have 
OTTI are written down by the impairment related to the estimated credit loss, and the non-credit related impairment loss is 
recognized in other comprehensive income. FNCB did not recognize any OTTI charges on investment securities for years 
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 within the consolidated statements of income.  

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, “Securities” of the notes to consolidated financial 
statements  included  in Item  8,  “Financial  Statements  and Supplementary  Data”  to  this Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K for 
additional information about valuation of securities. 

Other Real Estate Owned 

OREO consists of property acquired by foreclosure, abandonment or conveyance of deed in-lieu of foreclosure of a loan, and 
bank premises that are no longer used for operation or for future expansion. OREO is held for sale and is initially recorded 
at fair value less costs to sell at the date of acquisition or transfer, which establishes a new cost basis. Upon acquisition of the 
property  through  foreclosure  or  deed-in-lieu  of  foreclosure,  any  adjustment  to  fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs  is 
recorded to the ALLL. The determination is made on an individual asset basis. Bank premises no longer used for operations 
or future expansion are transferred to OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs with any related write-down included 
in non-interest expense. Subsequent to acquisition, valuations are periodically performed and the assets are carried at the 
lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined through external appraisals, current letters of intent, 
broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale, unless management determines that conditions exist that warrant an 
adjustment to the value. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the OREO properties may be capitalized; 
holding period costs and any subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes 

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year 
and  deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  for  the  future  tax  consequences  of  events  that  have  been  recognized  in  an  entity’s 
financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been 
recognized in FNCB’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax 
consequences could impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 

FNCB records an income tax provision or benefit based on the amount of tax currently payable or receivable and the change 
in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the 
carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  for  financial  and  tax  reporting  purposes.  Management  conducts  quarterly 
assessments of all available positive and negative evidence to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that will more 
likely than not be realized. FNCB establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and records a charge to income if 
management determines, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not 
that  some  portion or  all  of  the  deferred  tax assets  will  not  be  realized. In  evaluating  the need for  a valuation  allowance, 
management considers past operating results, estimates of future taxable income based on approved business plans, future 
capital requirements and ongoing tax planning strategies. This evaluation process involves significant management judgment 
about assumptions that are subject to change from period to period depending on the related circumstances. The recognition 
of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant assumptions and judgments about future earnings, the periods 
in which items will impact taxable income, future corporate tax rates, and the application of inherently complex tax laws. 
The use of different estimates can result in changes in the amounts of deferred tax items recognized, which may result in 
equity and earnings volatility because such changes are reported in current period earnings. Management’s evaluation as of 
December 31, 2018 and 2017 concluded that no valuation allowance was necessary for net deferred tax assets. 

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.R.1., an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II and 
V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, originally introduced in Congress and informally known as 
the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act", which among other things, reduced the federal maximum corporate income tax rate from 35.0% 
to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the enactment 
of this new tax legislation required FNCB to revalue its deferred tax assets at the new corporate statutory rate of 21.0% as of 
December 31, 2017. The revaluation of FNCB’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, resulted in a reduction in 
its net deferred tax assets of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. 
This revaluation adjustment had an impact of ($0.48) per diluted share, and tangible book value of ($0.48) per share based 
on weighted-average diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2017 and shares outstanding at December 31, 2017, 
respectively. There was no significant impact to FNCB’s regulatory capital ratios or liquidity resulting from the revaluation. 

In  connection  with  determining  the  income  tax  provision  or  benefit,  management  considers  maintaining  liabilities  for 
uncertain  tax  positions  and  tax  strategies  that  it  believes  contain  an  element  of  uncertainty.  Periodically,  management 
evaluates each of FNCB’s tax positions and strategies to determine whether a liability for uncertain tax benefits is required. 
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, management determined that FNCB did not have any uncertain tax positions or tax 
strategies and that no liability was required to be recorded.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 

The following overview should be read in conjunction with this MD&A in its entirety. 

Results of Operations 

FNCB reported earnings in 2018 of $13.3 million, of $0.79 per diluted common share, an increase of $13.2 million, compared 
to $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, in 2017. The increase in 2018 net income compared to 2017 was primarily 
attributable to a decrease in income tax expense, coupled with an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, 
partly offset by increases in the provision for loan and lease losses and non-interest expenses. Net interest income improved 
$3.5 million, or 10.5%, to $36.5 million in 2018 from $33.0 million in 2017. The improvement resulted primarily from solid 
growth in interest-earning assets, coupled with higher yields earned on loans and investments, and partly offset by higher 
volumes  of  and  rates  paid  on interest-bearing  liabilities.  Non-interest  income  increased  $4.6  million,  or  63.2%,  to 
$11.8 million in 2018 from $7.2 million in 2017. FNCB received an insurance recovery of $6.0 million in the fourth quarter 
of 2018, which was the primary contributor to the increase in non-interest income.  In 2018, FNCB realized a net loss of  $4 
thousand on  the sale of available-for-sale securities, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to a net gain of $1.6 million realized 
on  the  sale  of  available-for-sale  securities  in  2017,  which  partially  offset  the  increase  in  non-interest  income  from  the 
insurance recovery. Income tax expense decreased $8.2 million, or 72.8%, to $3.1 million in 2018 as compared to $11.3 
million in 2017, which primarily resulted from the revaluation of net deferred tax assets during 2017 following the enactment 
of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, along with a decrease in the corporate income tax rate for 2018.  These positive factors were 
offset  by  an  increase  in  the  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  of  $1.8  million,  or  231.6%, to  $2.6  million  in  2018 from 
$0.8 million in 2017. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 4.5%, $29.3 million in 2018 from $28.1 million in 
2017.  

Return  on  average  assets  and  return  on  average  shareholders’  equity  equaled  1.09%  and  15.38%,  respectively,  in  2018, 
compared to 0.01% and 0.15%, respectively, in 2017.  FNCB paid dividends to holders of common stock of $0.17 per share 
and $0.13 per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  

Balance Sheet Profile 

Total assets increased $75.4 million, or 6.5%, to $1.238 billion at December 31, 2018 from $1.162 billion at December 31, 
2017. The increase in total assets primarily reflected strong growth in interest-earning assets.  Specifically, loans, net of net 
deferred costs and unearned income, increased $68.5 million, or 8.9%, to $839.1 million at December 31, 2018 from $770.6 
million at December 31, 2017.  In addition, securities available for sale increased $6.5 million, or 2.3%, to $296.0 million at 
December 31, 2018 from $289.5 million at the end of 2017. The asset growth was funded with an increase in total deposits 
of $93.2 million, or 9.3%, to $1.096 billion at December 31, 2018 from $1.002 billion at December 31, 2017.  The increase 
in deposits was primarily attributable to increases in retail and wholesale time deposits.  Borrowings through the Federal 
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh decreased $26.0 million, or 57.9%, to $18.9 million at December 31, 2018 from $44.9 million 
at December 31, 2017. 

Total shareholders’ equity increased $8.0 million, or 9.0%, to $97.2 million at December 31, 2018 from $89.2 million at the 
end of 2017, which resulted primarily from net income in 2018 of $13.3 million, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in 
accumulated other comprehensive loss related to depreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities, net of 
deferred taxes, and year-to-date dividends declared of $2.9 million.  

At  December  31,  2018,  FNCB’s  total  risk-based  capital  ratio  and  the  Tier  1  leverage  ratio  were  12.69%  and  8.50%, 
respectively. The respective ratios for the Bank at December 31, 2018 were 12.17% and 8.27%. The ratios for both FNCB 
and the Bank exceeded the 10.00% and 5.00% required to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions 
of the Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations.  

Management’s Focus in 2018 

During 2018, FNCB and the Bank completed a re-branding that included new logos with a new tagline, "Simply Better," as 
well  as  a  new  mission  statement,  "To  make  your  banking  experience  simply  better."  Throughout 2018, 
management developed  strategies  and  initiatives aimed  at  delivering  its  mission  of  bettering  the  banking  experience  for 
customers,  shareholders  and  employees,  improving  FNCB's  long-term  financial  performance  by  improving  efficiency, 
increasing interest income through commercial and retail loan growth initiatives, managing interest expense by growing core 
deposits,  developing  additional  sources  of  non-interest  income  and  enhancing  the  marketability  and  liquidity  of  FNCB’s 
stock.

Aligned  with  enhancing  the  marketability  and  liquidity  of  FNCB’s  stock,  on  December  29,  2017,  FNCB  filed  a  listing 
application  with  The  Nasdaq  Stock  Market  LLC  (“Nasdaq”).  FNCB  subsequently  received  approval  from  Nasdaq  on 
February 26, 2018 to list its common shares for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market®. FNCB’s shares of common stock 
began trading on Nasdaq effective with the market opening on Monday, March 5, 2018. Effective June 25, 2018, FNCB was 
added as a member of the Russel Microcap® Index. Management believes that the transition to Nasdaq, along with inclusion 
in the Russel Microcap® Index, will provide greater visibility and increase trading of FNCB’s common stock. On October 
29, 2018, members of FNCB’s management team, the Board of Directors and the Bank's Advisory Board rang the closing 
bell at the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square in New York, NY. 

To facilitate loan and deposit growth initiatives, enhance efficiency, and improve the customer experience, on May 30, 2018, 
FNCB opened a new, state-of-the-art branch office located in Plains Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The new 
branch  features  the  “personal  banker”  model  which  provides  customers  with  an  enhanced,  more  personalized  banking 
experience. The new facility is part of the comprehensive branch network improvement program announced during 2017, 
and has consolidated three branches located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to this new location. The three branches that 
were consolidated include: a branch located at 734 San Souci Parkway, Hanover Township, Pennsylvania; a branch located 
at 27 North River Street, Plains, Pennsylvania; and a branch located at 3 Old Boston Road, Pittston, Pennsylvania. Each of 
these three branches were located within 6 miles of the new Plains Rt. 315 branch. 

In addition, management evaluates FNCB’s delivery channels on an ongoing basis as part of it’s branch network improvement 
plan and has executed the following initiatives: 

●  On June 14, 2018, FNCB purchased real property, improvements and fixtures located at 196 North Main Street, 
Shavertown, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania for $750 thousand for the purpose of relocating its Back Mountain 
branch located at 1919 Memorial Highway, Shavertown, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The relocation to the 
new facility, which was finalized on December 19, 2018, facilitates accessibility for customers and provides 
FNCB greater retail and commercial visibility.  

●  During the third quarter of 2018, FNCB completed final enhancements to its entire automated teller machine 
(“ATM”)  network  which  included  the  replacement  of  all  existing  machines  with  the  newest  generation 
machines. This initiative better safeguards sensitive customer information and creates internal efficiency as the 
new machines are equipped with anti-fraud and anti-skimming technology and provides for the direct imaging 
of all deposit transactions. 

●  On September 27, 2018, FNCB executed a contract with Branch Banking and Trust Company to purchase the 
real property, improvements and fixtures located at 360 South Mountain Boulevard, Mountain Top, Luzerne 
County, Pennsylvania for $550 thousand for the purpose of opening a branch office. The contract contains a 
deed restriction under which FNCB has agreed to not operate, sell, or lease the property for a period of six 
months from the recording of the deed. FNCB has received regulatory approvals and closed on the purchase of 
the property on December 14, 2018. The new branch is anticipated to open at this location by the end of the 
second quarter of 2019. 

●  On November 5, 2018, FNCB received approval from its primary regulator to relocate the Bank’s main office 
located  at  102  E.  Drinker  Street,  Dunmore,  Lackawanna  County,  Pennsylvania,  into  a  new  state-of  -the-art 
office that will be built directly across the street at 100 S. Blakely Street, Dunmore, Pennsylvania. The property 
is currently owned by the Bank and houses a separate drive-thru location, as well as a drive-thru and a walk-up 
ATM. The project is anticipated to cost $2.0 million and will be funded by cash generated through operations. 
The relocation is expected to create operating efficiencies for the main office, enhance customer service and 
improve customer accessibility. 

●  Management is also evaluating the development of a new state-of-the-art facility on a property already owned 
by  FNCB  located  in  Taylor  Borough,  Lackawanna  County,  Pennsylvania,  as  well  as  potential  locations  to 
expand its branch network into the Lehigh Valley market area of Pennsylvania. 

With  regard  to  commercial  and  retail  loan  growth  initiatives,  during  the  third  quarter  of  2018,  FNCB  completed  the 
implementation of a bank-wide customer relationship management (“CRM”) system to improve customer service, enhance 
market share and create cross-sales opportunities between retail and commercial business units. The CRM system became 
operational on October 9, 2018.

Over the past year, management has invested in staff additions to provide improved customer experiences, increase loan 
growth, enhance revenue streams and manage credit risk. Recent specialized lending staff additions include an indirect auto 
lending relationship manager, a retail lending sales operations manager and a chief credit officer. Additionally, FNCB plans 
to expand operations related to the limited production office located in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania to include 
the offering of retail lending products. FNCB also recently enhanced its third-party wealth management services, now offered 
through LPL Financial, LLC, which provides FNCB's wealth management team the ability to utilize the resources of some 
of the finest investment management, administrators and financial service providers available in the industry. Finally, at the 
end of 2018, FNCB announced the appointment of a Chief Banking Officer with extensive managerial and sales experience 
who will head up the Bank's commercial lending, retail lending and retail banking units.  

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

Net Interest Income 

Net interest income is the difference between (i) interest income, interest and fees on interest-earning assets, and (ii) interest 
expense, interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income represents the largest component of FNCB’s 
operating income and, as such, is the primary determinant of profitability. Net interest income is impacted by variations in 
the volume, rate and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in general market rates and the 
level of non-performing assets. Interest income is shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis using the corporate statutory tax rate 
of 21.0% in 2018 and 34% in 2017.  

Over  the  past  year,  the  Federal  Open  Market  Committee  (“FOMC”) increased  the  target  rate  a  total  of  100  basis  points 
through four 25-basis point actions, occurring on March 21, 2018, June 13, 2018, September 26, 2018 and December 19, 
2018. These actions resulted in corresponding increases in the national prime rate to 5.50% at December 31, 2018 from 4.50% 
at December 31, 2017. FNCB experienced an increase in loan yields throughout 2018 as compared to 2017, as variable- and 
adjustable-rate loans repriced upward and new loans were originated at higher interest rates. Throughout 2018, the increase 
in market interest rates also led to notable increases in funding costs across interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. 

Tax-equivalent net interest income improved in 2018, increasing $3.2 million to $37.0 million compared to $33.7 million in 
2017. The 9.6% increase in tax-equivalent net interest income primarily reflected a $7.0 million increase in tax-equivalent 
interest income, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in interest expense. Tax-equivalent interest income in 2018 was 
positively impacted by significant growth in average earning assets, coupled with increases in the yields earned on taxable 
loans and investments and interest-earning deposits in other banks. The increase in interest expense largely reflected increases 
in the rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits, time deposits, and borrowed funds, coupled with increases in volumes 
of time deposits and borrowed funds.  

Despite the strong growth in average earning assets and tax-equivalent net interest income, FNCB’s tax-equivalent interest 
margin decreased 1 basis point to 3.22% in 2018 from 3.23% in 2017, as the cost to fund earning assets outpaced the increase 
in  earning  asset  yields.  Tax-equivalent  net  interest  margin,  a  key  measurement  used  in  the  banking  industry  to  measure 
income  from  earning  assets  relative  to  the  cost  to  fund  those  assets,  is  calculated  by  dividing  tax-equivalent  net  interest 
income by average interest-earning assets. Additionally, rate spread, the difference between the average yield on interest-
earning assets shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.07% for the 
year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of 6 basis points compared to 3.13% for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Tax-equivalent interest income increased $7.0 million, or 18.2%, to $45.5 million in 2018 from $38.5 million in 2017. The 
growth in tax-equivalent interest income reflected strong growth in interest-earning assets, which increased $100.7 million, 
or  9.6%  to  $1.147  billion  in  2018  from  $1.046  billion  in  2017.  Average  loans  increased  $97.4 million,  or  13.2%,  to 
$835.7 million in 2018 from $738.3 million, resulting in an increase to tax-equivalent interest income of $4.2 million. In 
addition,  average  investments  increased  $16.5  million,  or  5.7%,  to  $306.5  million  in  2018 from  $290.0  million  in  2017, 
resulting in an increase to tax-equivalent interest income of $0.5 million. Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks 
decreased  $13.2  million,  or  73.4%,  to  $4.7  million  in  2018 from  $17.9  million  in  2017,  resulting  in  a decrease  to  tax-
equivalent  interest  income  of  $0.1  million.   Accompanying  the  growth  in  interest-earning  assets  was  a  29-basis  point 
improvement  in  the  tax-equivalent  yield  on  average  earning  assets  to  3.97%  in  2018 from  3.68%  in  2017.  Comparing 
2018 and 2017, the tax-equivalent yield earned on the loan portfolio increased 28 basis points, the tax-equivalent yield earned 
on the investment portfolio increased 11 basis points, and the tax-equivalent yield earned on interest-bearing deposits in other 
banks increased 88 basis points, contributing $2.1 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, to the improvement 
in tax-equivalent interest income.  

40 

   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
Increases in interest rates also drove an increase in interest expense of $3.8 million, or 78.7%, to $8.6 million in 2018 from 
$4.8 million in 2017. Rates paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 27 basis points to 0.71% in 2018 from 0.44% in 2017. 
The increase in deposit rates was concentrated in interest-bearing demand deposits, which increased 21 basis points to 0.57% 
in 2018 as compared to 0.36% in 2017 and time deposits, which increased 43 basis points to 1.23% in 2018 as compared to 
0.80% in 2017. The increases in rate on interest-bearing demand and time deposits contributed $1.1 million and $1.0 million, 
respectively, to the increase in interest expense.  The rate paid on savings deposits remained steady at 0.13% for both 2018 
and 2017. Additionally, the rate paid on borrowed funds increased 46 basis points to 2.22% in 2018 from 1.76% in 2017, 
contributing $0.4 million to the overall increase in interest expense. 

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $82.5 million, or 9.4%, to $957.6 million in 2018 from $875.1 million in 2017 
and resulted in a $1.3 million increase in interest expense. Specifically, a $38.0 million, or 19.2%, increase in average time 
deposits to $236.1 million in 2018 from $198.1 million in 2017 was the primary contributor to the $0.3 million increase in 
interest expense on interest-bearing deposits. Average balances of interest-bearing demand remained steady when comparing 
2018 and 2017, increasing by only $0.8 million, or 0.2%, while average savings deposits declined $3.0 million, or 3.0%, 
comparing the same time periods.  Average borrowed funds increased $46.8 million, or 64.3%, to $119.6 million in 2018 as 
compared to $72.8 million in 2017, contributing $1.0 million to the increase in interest expense.   

Non-accrual loans 

The interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual and restructured loans outstanding at December 31, 2018 
and 2017 in  accordance  with  their  original  terms  approximated  $218 thousand  and $157  thousand,  respectively.  Interest 
income  on  impaired  loans  of  $417  thousand  and $392  thousand was  recognized  based  on  payments  received  in  2018 
and 2017, respectively.

   (1)  Interest income is presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a 21% rate for 2018 and a 34% rate for 2017 and 2016. 
   (2)  Loans are stated net of unearned income. 
   (3)  Non-accrual loans are included in loans within earning assets. 
   (4)  Loan fees included in interest income are not significant. 
   (5)  The yields for securities that are classified as available for sale are based on the average historical amortized cost. 
   (6)  Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the cost of average interest bearing 

liabilities and is presented on a tax equivalent basis. 

   (7)  Net interest income as a percentage of total average interest earning assets. 

The most significant impact on net income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume and 
rates earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning assets, specifically loans 
and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined 
with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses 

The  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  is  an  expense  charged  against  net  interest  income  to  provide  for  probable  losses 
attributable to uncollectible loans and is based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL. A credit to loan and 
lease losses reflects the reversal of amounts previously charged to the ALLL. Management closely monitors the loan portfolio 
and the adequacy of the ALLL by considering the underlying financial performance of the borrower, collateral values and 
associated credit risks. Future material adjustments may be necessary to the provision for loan and lease losses and the ALLL 
if  economic  conditions  or  loan  performance  differ  substantially  from  the  assumptions  management  considered  in  its 
evaluation of the ALLL. 

FNCB recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of 
$1.8 million compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the provision for loan and lease 
losses was due largely to a $1.9 million increase in net charge-offs to $2.1 million in 2018 compared to $0.2 million in 2017. 
The largest increase in net charge-offs was within the commercial real estate segment, which increased $1.7 million to $1.8 
million in 2018 from $0.1 million in 2017, reflecting charge-downs related to two large commercial relationships placed on 
non-accrual  status  during  2018. Also  contributing  to  the  increase  in  the  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  was   growth 
of $67.1 million in total loans, partially offset by improvement in several qualitative factors in 2018 as compared to 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, non-interest income increased $4.6 million, or 63.2%, to $11.8 million compared to 
$7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, FNCB, the Bank and Fidelity Deposit 
Company of Maryland resolved a dispute by entering into a mutual release of all claims, which resulted in FNCB recognizing 
an insurance recovery after related expenses of $6.0 million, which was the largest contributing factor to the increase in non-
interest income. Also positively affecting non-interest income was an increase in net gains on the sale of guaranteed principal 
balances of loans guaranteed by the SBA of $243 thousand to $322 thousand in 2018 from $79 thousand in 2017, coupled 
with increases in other income and income from bank-owned life insurance of $96 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively. 
The increase in other income largely reflected a $74 thousand increase in fees generated from merchant services. 

Partially offsetting these increases was a net loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $4 thousand during 2018 as 
compared to a net gain of $1.6 million recorded during 2017.  FNCB also recorded a net loss on equity securities of $27 
thousand during 2018.  Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale decreased by $94 thousand to $210 thousand in 
2018 compared to $304 thousand in 2017, due primarily to a reduction in the volume of mortgage loans originated for sale 
in the secondary market. FNCB recorded a net gain on the sale of OREO of $31 thousand in 2018, a decrease of $48 thousand 
from $79 thousand in 2017. Additionally, FNCB recorded a net gain on the sale of other repossessed assets of $47 thousand 
during  2017.  There  were  no  sales  of  other  repossessed  assets  in  2018.  Deposit  service  charges  decreased  $18  thousand 
comparing 2018 and 2017, which primarily reflected decreases in non-sufficient fund ("NSF") charges due to more diligent 
monitoring of overdrawn accounts, partially offset by an increase in commissions received on debit card usage.

Non-interest expense totaled $29.3 million in 2018, an increase of $1.2 million, or 4.5%, from $28.1 million in 2017. The 
increase  resulted  primarily  from  increases  in  data  processing  expense,  salaries  and  employee  benefits, other  operating 
expenses,  regulatory  assessments,  other  losses,  occupancy  expense,  advertising  expenses  and  professional  fees. Partially 
mitigating these increases were decreases in equipment expense, expense of other real estate owned, bank shares tax and 
insurance expense. 

Data processing expenses increased $0.8 million, or 38.4%, to $2.8 million in 2018 as compared to $2.0 million in 2017.  The 
increase is attributable to continuing investments in technology, including the enhancement of check scanning equipment 
across all branches during 2018, as well as a reallocation of expenses previously categorized as equipment expense. Salaries 
and  employee  benefits  increased  by  $0.6  million,  or  4.4%,  to  $14.8  million  in  2018  from  $14.2  million  in  2017,  driven 
primarily by recent staff additions and annual salary and wage performance adjustments.  

Other operating expenses increased $0.3 million, or 9.4%, to $3.7 million in 2018 from $3.4 million in 2017. The increase 
was  attributable  primarily  to  FNCB's  transition  to  the  Nasdaq  Capital  Market  from  the  OTCQX  for  listing  its  shares  of 
common stock, coupled with increases in telecommunication expenses related to ongoing network improvement projects and 
an increase in directors' fees related to the addition of three new members to the Board of Directors in September 2017. 
FNCB also experienced an increase in regulatory assessments of $0.2 million during 2018, which was due largely to balance 
sheet growth. Also included within other operating expenses was an increase in contributions which qualify for tax credits 
applicable to bank shares tax, contributing to the decrease in bank shares tax expense of $0.2 million, or 20.5%,  to $0.6 
million in 2018 from $0.8 million in 2017.   

Other losses were $0.6 million in 2018, an increase of $0.1 million, or 18.9%, from $0.5 million in 2017.  Losses incurred 
for 2018 include a $0.1 million abandonment charge for building improvements related to the construction of a new branch 
and a $0.1 million valuation adjustment for a former branch office no longer used for operations and transferred to other real 
estate owned.  Occupancy expense, advertising expense and professional fee expense experienced increases of $86 thousand, 
$76 thousand and $72 thousand, respectively, comparing 2018 and 2017. 

FNCB experienced a decrease in expenses of other real estate owned of $0.2 million, or 47.3%, to $0.3 million in 2018 as 
compared  to  $0.5 million  in  2017.  The  decline  was  primarily  attributable  to  a  reduction  in  valuation  adjustments  which 
decreased to $0.1 million in 2018 compared to $0.3 million in 2017. 

Provision for Income Taxes 

FNCB recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million in 2018, a decrease of $8.2 million as compared to $11.3 million in 2017. 
The decrease in income tax expense was due largely to a non-recurring revaluation of deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax 
liabilities, resulting in a decrease in net deferred tax assets and a corresponding increase in income tax expense of $8.0 million 
during 2017. Income tax expense was also favorably impacted by a reduction in the statutory corporate tax rate to 21.0% in 

45 

  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
2018 from a maximum federal corporate income tax rate of 35% in 2017, partially offset by higher taxable income in 2018 
as compared to 2017.   

Management evaluates the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently, as necessary, 
in accordance with guidance set forth in ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” and applies the criteria in the guidance to determine 
whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized within its life cycle, 
based on the weight of available evidence. If management determines based on available evidence, both positive and negative, 
that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods, a valuation 
allowance  is  calculated  and  recorded.  These  determinations  are  inherently  subjective  and  depend  upon  management’s 
estimates and judgments used in their evaluation of both positive and negative evidence.  

In evaluating available evidence, management considers, among other factors, historical financial performance, expectation of 
future  earnings,  the  ability  to  carry  back  losses  to  recoup  taxes  previously  paid,  length  of  statutory  carry  forward  periods, 
experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals 
of  temporary  differences.  In  assessing  the  need  for  a  valuation  allowance,  management  carefully  weighs  both  positive  and 
negative evidence currently available. 

Management  performed  an  evaluation  of  FNCB’s  deferred  tax  assets  at  December  31,  2018 taking  into  consideration  both 
positive and negative evidence as of that date.  Based on this evaluation, management believes that FNCB's future taxable income 
will be sufficient to utilize deferred tax assets.  Accordingly, management concluded that no valuation allowance for deferred 
tax assets was required at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

FINANCIAL CONDITION 

Total  assets  were  $1.238 billion  at  December  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $75.4  million,  or  6.5%,  from  $1.162  billion at 
December 31, 2017. The increase in total assets was driven by growth in interest-earning assets, specifically an increase in 
loans, net of net deferred loan costs and unearned income of $68.5 million, or 8.9%, to $839.1 million at December 31, 2018 
from $770.6 million at December 31, 2017. In addition, available-for-sale debt securities increased $6.5 million, or 2.3% to 
$296.0 million at December 31, 2018 from $289.5 million at December 31, 2017. The asset growth was funded with an 
increase in total deposits of $93.2 million, or 9.3%, to $1.096 billion at December 31, 2018 from $1.002 billion at December 
31, 2017. The increase in deposits was primarily attributable to increases in retail and wholesale time deposits.  Borrowings 
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh decreased $26.0 million, or 57.9% to $18.9 million at December 31, 2018 
from $44.9 million at December 31, 2017. 

Total shareholders’ equity increased $8.0 million, or 9.0%, to $97.2 million at December 31, 2018 from $89.2 million at the 
end of 2017. The increase in capital resulted primarily from net income in 2018 of $13.3 million, partially offset by a $2.8 
million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to depreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale debt 
securities, net of deferred taxes, and year-to-date 2018 dividends declared of $2.9 million. Dividends declared and paid by 
FNCB on its common stock totaled $0.17 per share in 2018, an increase of $0.04 per share, or 30.8%, compared to $0.13 per 
share in 2017. On January 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of FNCB declared a $0.05 per share dividend for the first quarter 
of 2019, a 25.0% increase over the $0.04 per share dividend declared for the same quarter of 2018. The first quarter 2019 
dividend is payable on March 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2019. 

Securities 

FNCB’s investment securities portfolio provides a source of liquidity needed to meet expected loan demand and interest 
income to increase profitability. Additionally, the investment securities portfolio is used to meet pledging requirements to 
secure public deposits and for other purposes. Debt securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale at 
the time of purchase based on management's intent. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, while available-
for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of shareholders’ 
equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, all debt securities 
were classified as available-for-sale. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with 
gains and losses due to fluctuations in market value included in the consolidated statements of income. Securities with limited 
marketability  and/or  restrictions,  such  as  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  stock,  are  carried  at  cost. Decisions  to  purchase  or  sell 
investment  securities  are  based  upon  management’s  current  assessment  of  long-  and  short-term  economic  and  financial 
conditions, including the interest rate environment and asset/liability management, liquidity and tax-planning strategies.  

At December 31, 2018, the investment portfolio was comprised principally of fixed-rate securities issued by U.S. government 
or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, which include mortgage-backed securities and residential and commercial CMOs, 
fixed-rate taxable obligations of state and political subdivisions, and corporate debt securities. Except for U.S. government 
46 

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
and government-sponsored agencies, there were no securities of any individual issuer that exceeded 10.0% of shareholders’ 
equity as of December 31, 2018.  

Because of the predominantly fixed-rate nature of the portfolio, FNCB’s debt securities are inherently subject to interest rate 
risk, defined as the risk that an investment’s value will change due to a change in interest rates, in the spread between two 
rates and in the shape of the yield curve. A security’s value is usually affected inversely by changes in rates. During 2018, 
short-term  U.S.  Treasury  rates  rose  steadily  due  to  a  more  expansionary  fiscal  and  monetary  policy.  Nearly  half  of  the 
increases were reversed at December 31, 2018 as U.S. Treasury rates reacted to market volatility. In addition, spreads between 
short- and long-term rates continued to narrow causing further flattening of the yield curve. The 2-year Treasury rate, which 
was 1.89% at December 31, 2017, rose 98 basis points to a high of 2.87% at October 31, 2018 before falling 39 basis points 
to 2.48% at December 31, 2018. Similarly, the 10-year Treasury rate, which was 2.40% at December 31, 2017, increased 75 
basis points to 3.15% at October 31, 2018 before falling 46 basis points to close 2018 at 2.69%. The spread between the 2-
year and 10-year U.S. Treasury rate, which narrowed 75 basis points in 2017, compressed another 30 basis points from 51 
basis points at December 31, 2017 to 21 basis points at December 31, 2018. FNCB reported a net unrealized holding loss on 
its investment portfolio of $4.5 million, net of income taxes of $1.2 million at December 31, 2018, compared to an unrealized 
holding loss of $1.7 million, net of income taxes of $0.5 million, at December 31, 2017. Any additional increases in interest 
rates could result in further depreciation in the fair value of FNCB’s securities portfolio and capital position. 

The following table presents the carrying value of available-for-sale debt securities, all of which were classified as available-
for-sale and carried at fair value at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Management monitors the investment portfolio regularly and adjusts the investment strategy to reflect changes in liquidity 
needs, asset/liability strategy and tax-planning requirements. FNCB currently has $30.0 million in net operating loss (“NOL”) 
carryovers, which it uses to offset any taxable income. Because of this tax position, there is no benefit from holding tax-
exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions. Accordingly, management’s actions during recent periods with regard 
to managing the investment portfolio have reflected current tax-planning initiatives focused on generating sustained taxable 
income to be able to reduce NOL carryovers.  

During 2018, management sold two available-for-sale securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $4.6 million. Gross 
proceeds received totaled $4.6 million, with net losses of $4 thousand realized upon the sales and included in non-interest 
income.  

Securities purchased during the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $22.3 million, including $7.9 million in obligations 
of  state  and  political  subdivisions,  $5.9  million  in  CMOs  of  U.S.  government-sponsored  agencies,  $4.5  million  in  asset-
backed securities, $3.0 million in private collateralized mortgage obligations, and $1.0 million in corporate debt securities. 
Securities purchased during 2018 had a weighted-average yield of 3.66%.  

The following table presents the maturities of available-for-sale debt securities, based on carrying value at December 31, 
2018, and the weighted average yields of such securities calculated on the basis of the amortized cost and effective yields 
weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. The yields on tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions 
are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. Because residential, commercial

Management noted no indicators of impairment for the FHLB of Pittsburgh or Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock at 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

FNCB owns a $1.7 million investment in the common stock of a privately-held bank holding company. The common stock 
was purchased during 2017 as part of a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for offerings not involving any public offering. The common stock of such bank holding 
company is not currently traded on any established market and is not expected to be traded in the near future on any securities 
exchange or established over-the-counter market. FNCB has elected to account for this transaction as an investment in an

equity security without a readily determinable fair value. An equity security without a readily determinable fair value shall 
be written down to its fair value if a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, with a fair value less 
than its carrying value. The $1.7 million investment is included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial 
condition at December 31, 2018 and 2017. As part of its qualitative assessment, management engaged an independent third 
party to provide a valuation of this investment as of December 31, 2018, which indicated that the investment was not impaired. 
Management determined that no adjustment for impairment was required at December 31, 2018. 

Loans 

FNCB experienced strong demand for its lending products throughout 2018, resulting in an increase in total loans of $67.1 
million, or 8.7%, to $835.2 million at December 31, 2018 from $768.1 million at December 31, 2017. The majority of FNCB's 
major loan categories increased throughout 2018, with the largest increase concentrated in the indirect auto lending portfolio 
within the consumer loan portfolio, due in part to the addition in late 2017 of a full-time relationship manager for its indirect 
lending product.   

Historically,  commercial  lending  activities  have  represented  a  significant  portion  of  FNCB’s  loan  portfolio.  Commercial 
lending  includes  commercial  and  industrial  loans,  commercial  real  estate  loans  and  construction,  land  acquisition  and 
development  loans,  and  represented  52.0%  and  56.4%  of  total  loans  at  December  31,  2018 and  December  31,  2017, 
respectively. 

From a collateral standpoint, a majority of FNCB’s loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate. Real estate secured 
loans, which include commercial real estate, construction, land acquisition and development, residential real estate loans and 
home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”), increased by $5.9 million, or 1.3%, to $468.1 million at December 31, 2018 from 
$462.2 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the residential real estate segment. Real 
estate secured loans as a percentage of total gross loans declined to 56.0% at December 31, 2018 as compared to 60.2% at 
December 31, 2017, as growth in consumer indirect auto loans during 2018 outpaced growth in real estate secured lending.  

Commercial  and  industrial  loans  increased  $0.9 million,  or  0.6%,  during  the  year  to  $151.0 million  at  December  31, 
2018 from  $150.1 million  at  December  31,  2017.  Commercial  and  industrial  loans  consist  primarily  of  equipment  loans, 
working capital financing, revolving lines of credit and loans secured by cash and marketable securities. Loans secured by 
commercial  real  estate  increased  $1.0 million,  or  0.4%,  to  $262.8  million  at  December  31,  2018 from  $262.8 million  at 
December  31,  2017.  Commercial  real  estate  loans  include  long-term  commercial  mortgage  financing  and  are  primarily 
secured by first or second lien mortgages. Construction, land acquisition and development loans remained steady, decreasing 
by only $0.2 million, or 0.8%, during the year to $20.8 million at December 31, 2018, from $21.0 million at December 31, 
2017. 

Residential  real  estate  loans  totaled  $164.8  million  at  December  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $6.8  million,  or  4.3%,  from 
$158.0 million at December 31, 2017. The components of residential real estate loans include fixed-rate and variable-rate 
mortgage loans. HELOCs are not included in this category but are included in consumer loans. FNCB primarily underwrites 
fixed-rate purchase and refinance of residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk 
and provide funding for additional loans. Additionally, FNCB offers a “WOW” mortgage product, which is a non-saleable 
mortgage with maturity terms of 7.5 to 14.5 years, and offers customers an attractive fixed interest rate, low closing costs 
and a guaranteed 30-day close.  

Consumer loans totaled $176.8 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $42.1 million, or 31.3%, from $134.7 million 
at December 31, 2018. The growth was largely concentrated within the indirect auto loan portfolio, attributable to the recent 
hiring  of  an  indirect  sales  relationship  manager  as  mentioned  above,  resulting  in  obtaining  new  dealer  relationships 
throughout FNCB's market area and enhanced penetration with existing dealers. Loans to state and municipal governments 
increased $16.5 million, or 38.8%, to $59.0 million at December 31, 2018 from $42.5 million at December 31, 2017, due to 
ongoing efforts of a dedicated government banking unit.

Under industry regulations, a concentration is considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of 
borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. 
Typically,  industry  guidelines  require  disclosure  of  concentrations  of  loans  exceeding  10.0%  of  total  loans  outstanding. 
FNCB had no such concentrations at December 31, 2018 and 2017. In addition to industry guidelines, FNCB’s internal policy 
considers a concentration to exist in its loan portfolio if an aggregate loan balance outstanding to borrowers within a specific 
industry exceeds 25.0% of capital. However, management regularly reviews loans by all industry categories to determine if 
a potential concentration exists.

Asset Quality 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at 
the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by the ALLL. The ALLL 
is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to earnings. 

FNCB has established and consistently applies loan policies and procedures designed to foster sound underwriting and credit 
monitoring practices. Credit risk is managed through the efforts of loan officers, the Chief Credit Officer, the loan review 
function, and the Credit Risk Management and the ALLL committees, as well as oversight from the Board of Directors. 
Management  continually  evaluates  its  credit  risk  management  practices  to  ensure  it  is  reacting  to  problems  in  the  loan 
portfolio in a timely manner, although, as is the case with any financial institution, a certain degree of credit risk is dependent 
in part on local and general economic conditions that are beyond management’s control. 

Under FNCB’s risk rating system, loans that are rated pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are reviewed 
regularly as part of the risk management practices. The Credit Risk Management Committee, which consists of key members 
of management, finance, legal, retail lending and credit administration, meets monthly or more often as necessary to review 
individual problem credits and workout strategies and provides monthly reports to the Board of Directors. 

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that FNCB will be unable to collect all amounts due (including principal 
and interest) according to the contractual terms of the note and loan agreement. For purposes of the analysis, all TDRs, loan 
relationships with an aggregate outstanding balance greater than $100 thousand rated substandard and non-accrual, and loans 
that are identified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired. Impaired loans are analyzed individually to determine the 
amount  of  impairment.  For  collateral-dependent  loans,  impairment  is  measured  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral 
supporting the loans. A loan is determined to be collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is expected to be provided 
through  the  liquidation  of  the  collateral  held.  For  impaired  loans  that  are  secured  by  real  estate,  external  appraisals  are 
obtained annually, or more frequently as warranted, to ascertain a fair value so that the impairment analysis can be updated. 
Should  a  current  appraisal  not  be  available  at  the  time  of  impairment  analysis,  other  sources  of  valuation  may  be  used, 
including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. For non-collateral-dependent loans, 
impairment  is  measured  based  on  the  present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows,  net  of  any  deferred  fees  and  costs, 
discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. 

Loans to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty that are modified and result in the granting of concessions to the 
borrowers are classified as TDRs and are considered to be impaired. Such concessions generally involve an extension of a 
loan’s stated maturity date, a reduction of the stated interest rate, payment modifications, capitalization of property taxes with 
respect  to  mortgage  loans  or  a  combination  of  these  modifications.  Non-accrual  TDRs  are  returned  to  accrual  status  if 
principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are brought current, are performing under the modified terms for 
six consecutive months, and management believes that collection of the remaining interest and principal is probable. 

Non-performing loans are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of FNCB’s loan review process. Additionally, work-out for 
non-performing loans and OREO are actively monitored through the Credit Risk Management Committee. A potential loss 
on a non-performing asset is generally determined by comparing the outstanding loan balance to the fair market value of the 
pledged collateral, less cost to sell.

Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when management believes that 
the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. This generally occurs when a default of interest or principal has existed for 
90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, or when management becomes aware of 
facts or circumstances that the loan would default before 90 days. FNCB determines delinquency status based on the number 
of days since the date of the borrower’s last required contractual loan payment. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all 
unpaid interest income is reversed and charged back against current earnings. Any subsequent cash payments received are 
applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts, with any excess treated 
as a recovery of lost interest. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the loan is current as to principal and 
interest  payments,  is  performing  according  to  contractual  terms  for  six  consecutive  months  and  future  payments  are 
reasonably assured.  

Management actively manages impaired loans in an effort to mitigate loss to FNCB by working with customers to develop 
strategies to resolve borrower difficulties, through sale or liquidation of collateral, foreclosure, and other appropriate means. 
In  addition,  management  monitors  employment  and  economic  conditions  within  FNCB’s  market  area,  as  weakening  of 
conditions could result in real estate devaluations and an increase in loan delinquencies, which could negatively impact asset 
quality and cause an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses. While lagging the state and national unemployment 
rate, employment conditions in FNCB’s market area improved in 2018 in comparison to year-end 2017. The unemployment 
rate for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton Pennsylvania metropolitan area declined to 5.1% for December 2018 from 5.5% 
for December 2017. However, the unemployment rate for our market area was third highest of all metropolitan areas within 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and was above the rate for the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of 4.2% and the 
rate for the United States of 3.9% for December 2018.  

Under the fair value of collateral method, the impaired amount of the loan is deemed to be the difference between the loan 
amount and the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell. For real estate secured loans, management generally 
estimates selling costs using a factor of 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, such as a 6% broker commission, 1% 
transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. If the valuation indicates that the 
fair value has deteriorated below the carrying value of the loan, the difference between the fair value and the principal balance 
is charged off. For impaired loans for which the value of the collateral less costs to sell exceeds the loan value, the impairment 
is determined to be zero.

Total non-performing assets increased $2.0 million, or 36.6%, to $7.5 million at December 31, 2018 from $5.5 million at 
December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans of $2.1 million, primarily attributable 
to  the  two  large  commercial  relationships  that  were  placed  on  non-accrual  status  during  2018. FNCB’s  ratio  of  non-
performing loans to total gross loans increased to 0.56% at December 31, 2018 from 0.34% at December 31, 2017. FNCB’s 
ratio  of  non-performing  assets  as  a  percentage  of  shareholders’  equity  was  8.7%  at  December  31,  2018 from  6.2%  at 
December  31,  2017.  Management  continues  to  monitor  non-accrual  loans,  delinquency  trends  and  economic  conditions 
within FNCB’s market area on an on-going basis to proactively address any collection-related issues and mitigate potential 
losses.

Other non-performing assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is comprised solely of a classified account receivable secured 
by an evergreen letter of credit in the amount of $1.9 million, received in 2011 as part of a settlement agreement for a large 
construction, land acquisition and development loan for a residential development project in the Pocono region of Monroe 
County. The project was stalled due to a decline in real estate values in this area following the financial crisis of 2008. The 
agreement provides for payment to FNCB as real estate building lots are sold. In 2016, management classified this receivable 
as substandard due to length of holding time and continues to monitor this project closely. To date, no lots have been sold; 
however, economic development in this market area has recently improved and construction activity including substantial 
infrastructure, related to this project by the developer has increased.     

TDRs at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $9.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Accruing and non-accruing TDRs 
were $8.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively at December 31, 2018 and $9.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively at 
December 31, 2017. There were no loans modified as TDRs during 2018.  There were nine loan relationships modified as 
TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2017, which incorporated a total of sixteen individual loans. There were three 
loan  relationships,  comprised  of  eight  commercial  real  estate  loans  totaling  $5.3  million,  and  two  loan  relationships, 
comprised  of  four  commercial  and  industrial  loans  totaling  $1.8  million,  that  were  modified  under  varying  forms  of 
forbearance agreements during the year ended December 31, 2017. Additional TDRs included two consumer loans totaling 
$85 thousand that had their terms extended and delinquent taxes capitalized, as well as two residential real estate loans totaling 
$190  thousand  that  had  their  terms  extended.  The  commercial  real  estate  modifications  included  a  principal  forbearance 
agreement for one loan in the amount of $4.0 million and reductions in required monthly principal payments resulting in 
balloon  payments  due  at  maturity  for  seven  loans  to  two  borrowers  aggregating  $1.2  million.  The  four  commercial  and 
industrial loan modifications involved the delay of required principal and interest payments for predefined time periods. 

The average balance of impaired loans was $11.6 million and $10.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 
respectively. FNCB recognized interest on impaired loans of $417 thousand in 2018 and $392 thousand in 2017.

The  additional  interest  income  that  would  have  been  earned  on  non-accrual  and  restructured  loans  had  the  loans  been 
performing in accordance with their original terms approximated $0.2 million for both years ended December 31, 2018 and

Total delinquencies as a percent of gross loans increased to 0.93% at December 31, 2018 from 0.72% at December 31, 2017. 
The most predominant factor contributing to the increase in total delinquencies is an increase in non-accrual loans of $2.1 
million, concentrated in the commercial real estate segment.  Loans 30-59 days past due increased to a lesser extent, while 
loans 60-89 days past due declined. 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses 

The ALLL represents management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is analyzed 
in accordance with GAAP and is maintained at a level that is based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL 
in relation to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio.  

As part of its evaluation, management considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to: 

   ● 

   ● 
   ● 

   ● 
   ● 
   ● 

   ● 
   ● 

   ● 

changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various 
market segments; 
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; 
changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery 
practices and results; 
changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff; 
changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Board of Directors; 
changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of 
non-accrual loans, TDRs and other loan modifications; 
the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; 
the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated 
credit losses in the current loan portfolio; and 
analysis of customers’ credit quality, including knowledge of their operating environment and financial condition.  

Evaluations are intrinsically subjective, as the results are estimated based on management knowledge and experience and are 
subject to interpretation and modification as information becomes available or as future events occur. Management monitors 
the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis with emphasis on weakness in both the real estate market and the economy in general 
and its effect on repayment. Adjustments to the ALLL are made based on management’s assessment of the factors noted 
above. 

In its evaluation of the ALLL, management considers a variety of qualitative factors including changes in the volume and 
severity  of  delinquencies.  Management  also  considers  the  economic  conditions  in  FNCB’s  market  area  and  continues  to 
notice  some  weakness.  As  previously  mentioned,  the  unemployment  rate  for  the  Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-Hazleton 
metropolitan area, FNCB’s predominant market area, improved to 5.1% for December 2018 from 5.5% for December 2017. 
However,  unemployment  in  FNCB’s  market  continues  to  rank  among  the  highest  as  compared  to  Pennsylvania’s  21 
metropolitan  areas.  Moreover,  the  improvement  in  employment  conditions  for  FNCB’s  market  area  lagged  behind  the 
improvement  in  conditions  experienced  for  the  entire  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  in  which  the  unemployment  rate 
declined to 4.2% for December 2018 from 4.8% for December 2017. FNCB attempts to mitigate the effects of changes in 
economic conditions by utilizing industry-recognized underwriting standards.  

For purposes of  management’s  analysis of the ALLL, all loan  relationships with  an  aggregate balance  greater  than $100 
thousand that are rated substandard and non-accrual, identified as doubtful or loss, and all TDRs are considered impaired and 
are analyzed individually to determine the amount of impairment. Circumstances such as construction delays, declining real 
estate values, and the inability of the borrowers to make scheduled payments have resulted in these loan relationships being 
classified as impaired. FNCB utilizes the fair value of collateral method for collateral-dependent loans and TDRs for which 
repayment  depends  on  the  sale  of  collateral.  For  non-collateral-dependent  loans  and  TDRs,  FNCB  measures  impairment 
based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. With regard 
to collateral-dependent loans, appraisals are received at least annually to ensure that impairment measurements reflect current 
market conditions. Should a current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other valuation sources 
including  current  letters  of  intent,  broker  price  opinions  or  executed  agreements  of  sale  may  be  used.  Only  downward 
adjustments are made based on these supporting values. Included in all impairment calculations is a cost to sell adjustment 
of approximately 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, including a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes and 3% 
various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. Sales costs are periodically reviewed and revised based 
on actual experience. The ALLL analysis is adjusted for subsequent events that may arise after the end of the reporting period 
but before the financial reports are filed.

The ALLL equaled $9.5 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $0.5 million from $9.0 million at December 31, 2017. 
The  increase  resulted  from  a  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  of  $2.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018, 
partially offset by net charge-offs of $2.1 million for the same period.  

The ALLL consists of both specific and general components. The component of the ALLL that is related to impaired loans 
that are individually evaluated for impairment, the guidance for which is provided by ASC 310 “Impairment of a Loan” 
(“ASC 310”), was $0.7 million, or 6.9%, of the total ALLL at December 31, 2018, compared to $0.8 million, or 8.6%, of the 
total ALLL at December 31, 2017. A general reserve of $8.9 million was established for loans analyzed collectively under 
ASC 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), which represented 93.1% of the total ALLL of $9.5 million at December 31, 2018. 
The ratio of the ALLL to total loans at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 1.13% and 1.17%, respectively,

December 31, 2017, FNCB foreclosed upon two residential real estate properties with an aggregate carrying value of $125 
thousand.  

Included in OREO are four properties previously held in bank premises and equipment that were transferred to OREO due 
to a change in their intended use. The properties include two commercial lots previously held for future expansion, the former 
Route 315 Pittston branch office located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and the former Honesdale Route 6 branch office 
located  in  Wayne  County,  Pennsylvania. The  aggregate  carrying  value  of  these  four  properties  was  $0.7 million  and 
represented 79.2% of OREO at December 31, 2018.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  there  were  two  sales of  properties  with  an  aggregate  carrying  value  of 
$0.4 million. Net gains realized on the sale of these properties was $31 thousand, which is included in non-interest income.

months ended December 31, 2017, with net gains realized on the sales of $79 thousand, which is included in non-interest 
income for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

FNCB actively markets OREO properties for sale through a variety of channels including internal marketing and the use of 
outside brokers/realtors. The carrying value of OREO is generally calculated at an amount not greater than 90% of the most 
recent fair market appraised value unless specific conditions warrant an exception. A 10% factor is generally used to estimate 
costs to sell, which is based on typical cost factors, such as 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other 
miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. This fair value is updated on an annual basis or more frequently if new

expense of other real estate owned in the consolidated statements of income. FNCB incurred valuation adjustments of $322 
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $307 thousand is included in expense of other real estate owned 
in  the  consolidated  statements  of  income.   A  $15  thousand  valuation  adjustment  recorded during 2017 was related  to  an 
investor loan, and accordingly reduced the liability owed to the investor.

Deposits 

Total deposits increased $93.2 million, or 9.3%, to $1.096 billion at December 31, 2018 from $1.002 billion at December 31, 
2017. Interest-bearing deposits increased $112.9 million, or 13.7%, while non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased 
$19.7  million,  or  11.2%.  The  increase  in  interest-bearing deposits  primarily  reflected  growth  in  time  deposits,  while  the 
decrease  in  non-interest-bearing  deposits  was  concentrated  in  business  checking  accounts. Retail  time  deposits increased 
$30.4 million, or 16.7%, to $213.3 million at December 31, 2018 from $182.9 million at December 31, 2017. At December 
31, 2018, FNCB also had $75.8 million of brokered time deposits, an increase of $66.4 million from $9.5 million at December 
31, 2017. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $25.4 million, or 4.8%, to $557.8 million at December 31, 2018 from 
$532.4 million at December 31, 2017. Specifically, interest-bearing commercial, consumer and public deposits increased by 
$30.4 million, $6.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, partly offset by a decrease in money market accounts of $16.4 
million when comparing December 31, 2018 and 2017. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in savings accounts 
of $9.3 million, or 9.2%, to $92.1 million at December 31, 2018 from $101.4 million at December 31, 2017.  

Non-interest-bearing demand deposits averaged $11.6 million,  or 7.4%, higher at $168.3 million in 2018 as compared to 
$156.7 million in 2017. Interest-bearing deposits averaged $838.1 million in 2018, an increase of $35.8 million, or 4.5%, 
compared  to  $802.3  million  in  2017.  The  increase  was  concentrated  in  time deposits,  which  increased  $38.1  million,  or 
19.2%,  to  $236.2 million  in  2018 from  $198.1  million  in  2017 due  primarily  to  growth  in  both  retail  and brokered  time 
deposits. In addition, average demand deposits increased $0.8 million, or 0.2% comparing 2018 and 2017. Partially offsetting 
these increases was a decrease of $3.0 million, or 1.5%, in average savings deposits to $98.9 million in 2018 from $101.9 
million in 2017. FNCB’s deposit funding costs increased 27 basis points, or 61.4%, to 0.71% in 2018 from 0.44% in 2017. 
Rates on interest-bearing demand and time deposits increased by 21 basis points and 43 basis points, respectively, while rates 
on savings deposits remained steady at 0.13% comparing 2018 and 2017.

Borrowings 

Short-term borrowings generally represent overnight borrowing transactions through the FHLB of Pittsburgh, which provide 
for short-term funding requirements of FNCB and mature within one business day of the transaction. Short-term borrowings 
may  also  include  federal  funds  purchased  and  borrowings  through  the  Federal  Reserve  Discount  Window,  which  are 
considered  to  be  a  contingency  source  of  funding.  Other  than  testing  its  availability  for  contingency  funding  planning 
purposes, FNCB did not purchase any federal funds or borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window during the years 
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2018, FNCB had $6.6 million in overnight advances outstanding with 
the FHLB of Pittsburgh.  FNCB did not have any overnight advances outstanding at December 31, 2017.  

Long-term  debt  is  comprised  of  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  term  advances,  subordinated  debentures  and  junior  subordinated 
debentures and totaled $27.6 million at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $32.7 million, or 54.1%, from $60.3 million at 
December 31, 2017. Term advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh decreased $32.7 million to $12.3 million at December 
31, 2018 from $45.0 million at December 31, 2017. FHLB of Pittsburgh overnight and term advances are collateralized under 
a blanket pledge agreement, and FNCB is also required to purchase FHLB of Pittsburgh stock based upon the amount of 
advances  outstanding.  At  December  31,  2018,  FNCB’s  maximum  borrowing  capacity  with  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  was 
$344.9 million, of which $278.5 million was available for borrowing purposes. 

On  September  1,  2009,  FNCB  offered  only  to  accredited  investors  up  to  $25.0  million  principal  amount  of  unsecured 
subordinated debentures due September 1, 2019 (the "Notes") The Notes had a principal balance of $5.0 million at both 
December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Notes have a fixed interest rate of 4.50%. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, on January 
30, 2019, the Board of Directors of FNCB approved the acceleration of the final $5.0 million principal repayment on the

FNCB also had $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The interest 
rate on these debentures resets quarterly at a spread of 1.67% above the current 3-month LIBOR rate. The average interest 
rate paid on the junior subordinated debentures in 2018 was 3.90%, compared to 2.90% in 2017.  

Average  borrowed  funds  increased  $46.8  million,  or  64.3%,  to  $119.6  million  in  2018 from  $72.8  million  in  2017.  The 
average rate paid for long-term debt increased 46 basis points to 2.22% in 2018 from 1.76% in 2017. The increase in rate on 
the long-term debt was due to increases in the rates paid on FHLB borrowings and junior subordinated debentures, which 
directly correlated with the increases in market interest rates throughout 2018. The maximum amount of total borrowings 
outstanding at any month end during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $203.2 million and $97.2 million, 
respectively.  

For  further  discussion  of  FNCB’s  borrowings,  see  Note  8,  “Borrowed  Funds”  in  the  Notes  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Liquidity 

The term liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to meet cash flow needs.  Liquidity is required 
to  fulfill  the  borrowing  needs  of  FNCB’s  credit  customers  and  the  withdrawal  and  maturity  requirements  of  its  deposit 
customers, as well as to meet other financial commitments. FNCB’s liquidity position is impacted by several factors, which 
include, among others, loan origination volumes, loan and investment maturity structure and cash flows, deposit demand and 
time deposit maturity structure and retention. FNCB has liquidity and contingent funding policies in place that are designed 
with  controls  in  place  to  provide  advanced  detection  of  potentially  significant  funding  shortfalls,  establish  methods  for 
assessing  and  monitoring  risk  levels,  and  institute  prompt  responses  that  may  alleviate  a  potential  liquidity  crisis. 
Management monitors FNCB’s liquidity position and fluctuations daily, forecasts future liquidity needs, performs periodic 
stress tests on its liquidity levels and develops strategies to ensure adequate liquidity at all times.  

The  statements  of  cash  flows  present  the  change  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents  from  operating,  investing  and  financing 
activities.  Cash  and  due  from  banks  and  interest-bearing  deposits  in  other  banks,  which  comprise  cash  and  cash 
equivalents, are  FNCB’s  most  liquid  assets.  At  December  31,  2018,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  totaled  $36.5 million,  a 
decrease of $1.2 million from $37.7 million at December 31, 2017. 

Cash outlays for investing activities used $88.8 million of cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 
2018, which was due largely to net increases in loans to customers of $77.9 million. Additionally, purchases of available-for-
sale securities, net of proceeds received from sales, maturities, calls and principal reduction in 2018 used $11.0 million of 
cash and cash equivalents. Also in 2018, purchases of bank premises and equipment utilized $6.0 million in cash and cash 
equivalents.  Partially  offsetting  these  outflows  were  cash  inflows  in  2018 from  the  sale  of  SBA  guaranteed  loans  of 
$6.0 million and proceeds from the sale of OREO of $0.5 million. 

Financing activities provided $64.4 million in net cash, which resulted primarily from a $93.2 million net increase in deposits 
in 2018. Partially offsetting this inflow was net repayments of FHLB of Pittsburgh advances of $26.0 million and $2.9 million 
in cash dividends paid. Operating activities during 2018 provided net cash of $23.1 million. Operating activities include net 
income,  adjusted for  the  effects  of  non-cash  transactions including,  among  others, depreciation  and  amortization  and  the 
provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses,  and  is  the  primary  source  for  the  remaining  funds  from  operations.  Specifically,  in 
2018 FNCB recorded net income of $13.3 million and non-cash adjustments to income of $9.8 million. 

Management believes that FNCB’s liquidity position is sufficient to meet its cash flow needs as of December 31, 2018. FNCB 
generally utilizes core deposits as its primary source of liquidity. Core deposits include non-interest-bearing and interest-
bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and other time deposits, net of brokered deposits and one-way purchased deposits 
generated through the Promontory Interfinancial Network, which include time deposits issued under CDARs program and 
money market and NOW accounts issued through the ICS program. Participating in the Promontory Interfinancial Network 
programs allows FNCB to service and attract potential high-balance deposits customers who want the security of full-FDIC 
insurance but want to maintain a local deposit relationship. For 2018, unlike in previous years, reciprocal deposits issued 
through  the  Promontory  Interfinancial  Network  program  are  considered  to  be  core  deposits.  Core  deposits  averaged 
$972.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $96.5 million, or 11.0%, compared to $876.1 million 
for  the  year  ended December  31,  2017.  The  increase  in  core  deposits  primarily  reflected  growth  in  time  deposits,  net  of 
brokered  deposits  and  one-way  CDARs  purchases  of  $19.4 million  and non-interest-bearing  demand  deposits of 
$11.5 million.  The inclusion of ICS and CDARs reciprocal deposits for 2018 contributed $33.0 million to the increase in 
core  deposits  compared  to  2017. In  addition  to  core  deposits,  FNCB  currently  utilizes  brokered  certificates  of  deposit, 
certificates of deposits generated through a national listing service, funding through the Promontory Financial Network and 
advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh as alternative sources of liquidity. At December 31, 2018, FNCB had available 
59 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh of $278.5 million. In addition, FNCB had $40.0 million in federal fund lines 
of credit available through correspondent banks at December 31, 2018.  

Capital 

A strong capital base is essential to the continued growth and profitability of FNCB and is therefore a management priority. 
Management’s principal capital planning goals are to provide an adequate return to shareholders while retaining a sufficient 
base from which to provide for future growth, while at the same time complying with applicable regulatory standards. As 
more fully described in Note 14, “Regulatory Matters” to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 
8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, regulatory authorities have prescribed specified minimum capital ratios as guidelines 
for determining capital adequacy to help assure the safety and soundness of financial institutions.

FNCB’s  total  regulatory  capital  increased  $16.1 million  to  $117.2 million  at  December  31,  2018 from  $101.1 million  at 
December 31, 2017. FNCB’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum regulatory capital ratios required 
for  adequately  capitalized  institutions.  Based  on  the  most  recent  notification  from  its  primary  regulators,  the  Bank  was 
categorized as well capitalized at December 31, 2018 and 2017. There are no conditions or events since this notification 
that management believes have changed this category. 

As of December 31, 2018, FNCB had 33,178,629 shares of common stock available for future sale or share dividends. The 
number of shareholders of record at December 31, 2018 was 1,790. Quarterly market highs and lows, dividends paid and 
known  market  makers  are  highlighted  in  Part  I,  Item  5,  “Market  for  Registrant’s  Common  Equity,  Related  Shareholder 
Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further discussion of FNCB’s 
capital requirements and dividend limitations, refer to Note 14, “Regulatory Matters,” of the notes to consolidated financial 
statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

Additionally, FNCB has available 20,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. There were no preferred shares issued 
and outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

On January 28, 2019, FNCB announced that it had commenced a public offering of its shares of common stock in a firm 
commitment underwritten offering. Subsequently, on February 8, 2019, FNCB announced the closing of the public offering 
of 3,285,550 shares of its common stock, which includes 428,550 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of 
the  option  to  purchase  additional  shares  granted  to  underwriters,  at  a  public  offering  price  of  $7.00  per  share,  less  an 
underwriting discount of $0.35 per share. FNCB received net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and offering 
expenses of $21.3 million. 

FNCB  had  a  Dividend  Reinvestment  and  Optional  Cash  Purchase  Plan  (“DRP”),  which  permitted  participants  to 
automatically reinvest cash dividends on all of their shares and to make voluntary cash contributions under the terms of the 
plan at a discounted price. On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the reinstatement of the DRP effective June 
1, 2016. Previously, the operation of the DRP had been suspended since 2011. Common shares issued under the DRP in 
2018 and 2017 totaled 17,050 and 65,240, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, FNCB declared and paid dividends of $0.17 per share and $0.13 per 
share, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, on January 30, 2019, FNCB declared a dividend of $0.05 per share 
of common stock. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2019. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

In the ordinary course of operations, FNCB engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are 
not recorded in our consolidated financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These 
transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions may be used for 
general  corporate  purposes  or  for  customer  needs.  Corporate  purpose  transactions  would  be  used  to  help  manage  credit, 
interest  rate  and  liquidity  risk  or  to  optimize  capital.  Customer  transactions  are  used  to  manage  customers'  requests  for 
funding. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, FNCB did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that would have or would 
be reasonably likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition. For a further discussion of FNCB’s off-
balance  sheet  arrangements,  refer  to  Note  12,  “Commitments,  Contingencies,  and  Concentrations”  to  the  notes  to  the 
consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report 
on Form 10-K. 

The following table presents off-balance financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk at December 
31, 2018 and 2017. All of the off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2018 expire within one 
year of their respective contract dates.

In order to provide for probable losses inherent in these instruments, FNCB recorded reserves for unfunded commitments of 
$255 thousand and $381 thousand at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were included in other liabilities in 
the consolidated statements of financial condition.  

FNCB’s Finance unit proactively monitors the level of unused commitments against the available sources of liquidity from 
its investment portfolio, from deposit gathering activities as well as available unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB and 
the  Federal  Reserve.  The  Finance  unit  reports  the  results  of  its  liquidity  monitoring  regularly  to  FNCB’s  Asset/Liability 
Management  Committee,  the  Rate  and  Liquidity  Committee,  the  Executive  Management  Committee  and  the  Board  of 
Directors. 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 

Interest Rate Risk 

Interest Rate Sensitivity 

Market risk is the risk to earnings and/or financial position resulting from adverse changes in market rates or prices, such as 
interest rates, foreign exchange rates or equity prices. FNCB’s exposure to market risk is primarily interest rate risk associated 
with our lending, investing and deposit gathering activities, all of which are other than trading. Changes in interest rates affect 
earnings by changing net interest income and the level of other interest-sensitive income and operating expenses. In addition, 
variations in interest rates affect the underlying economic value of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items.

Asset and Liability Management 

FNCB  manages  these  objectives  through  its  Asset  and  Liability  Management  Committee  (“ALCO”)  and  its  Rate  and 
Liquidity and Investment Committees, which consist of certain members of management and certain members of the finance 
unit. Members of the committees meet regularly to develop balance sheet strategies affecting the future level of net interest 
income, liquidity and capital.  The major objectives of ALCO are to: 

●  manage exposure to changes in the interest rate environment by limiting the changes in net interest margin to an

acceptable level within a reasonable range of interest rates; 
ensure adequate liquidity and funding; 

● 
●  maintain a strong capital base; and 
●  maximize net interest income opportunities. 

ALCO monitors FNCB’s exposure to changes in net interest income over both a one-year planning horizon and a longer-
term strategic horizon. ALCO uses net interest income simulations and economic value of equity (“EVE”) simulations as the 
primary tools in measuring and managing FNCB’s position and considers balance sheet forecasts, FNCB's liquidity position, 
the economic environment, anticipated direction of interest rates and FNCB’s earnings sensitivity to changes in these rates 
in its modeling. In addition, ALCO has established policy tolerance limits for acceptable negative changes in net interest 
income. Furthermore, as part of its ongoing monitoring, ALCO requires quarterly back testing of modeling results, which 
involves after-the-fact comparisons of projections with FNCB’s actual performance to measure the validity of assumptions 
used in the modeling techniques.  

Earnings at Risk and Economic Value at Risk Simulations: 

Earnings at Risk 

Earnings-at-risk  simulation  measures  the  change  in  net  interest  income  and  net  income  under  various  interest  rate 
scenarios. Specifically, given the current market rates, ALCO looks at “earnings at risk” to determine anticipated changes in 
net interest income from a base case scenario with scenarios of + 200, +400 and -200 basis points for simulation purposes. 
The simulation takes into consideration that not all assets and liabilities re-price equally and simultaneously with market rates 
(i.e., savings rate).  

Economic Value at Risk 

While earnings-at-risk simulation measures the short-term risk in the balance sheet, economic value (or portfolio equity) at 
risk measures the long-term risk by finding the net present value of the future cash flows from FNCB’s existing assets and 
liabilities. ALCO examines this ratio regularly, and given the current rate environment, has utilized rate shocks of +200, +400 
and -200 basis points for simulation purposes. Management recognizes that, in some instances, this ratio may contradict the 
“earnings at risk” ratio. 

While ALCO regularly performs a wide variety of simulations under various strategic balance sheet and treasury yield curve 
scenarios,  the  following  results  reflect  FNCB’s  sensitivity  over  the  subsequent  twelve  months  based  on  the  following 
assumptions: 

● 
● 

● 

asset and liability levels as of December 31, 2018 as a starting point; 
cash flows are based on contractual maturity and amortization schedules with applicable prepayments derived from
internal historical data and external sources; and 
cash flows are reinvested into similar instruments to keep interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels 
constant.

FNCB  was  liability  rate  sensitive  at  December  31,  2018,  as  a  greater  volume  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  than  interest-
earning assets will mature or reprice within a one-year time frame, due to a significant amount of non-maturity, interest-
bearing deposit balances at the end of the period. Accordingly, model results at December 31, 2018 indicate that FNCB’s net 
interest income and economic value of equity are expected to decrease 9.3% and 3.0%, respectively, under a +200-basis point 
interest rate shock. In comparison, model results at December 31, 2017 indicated net interest income and the economic value 
of equity were expected to decrease 2.9% and 5.0% given a +200 basis point rate shock. Model results at December 31, 
2018 continue to indicate that FNCB is short-term liability sensitive and long-term asset sensitive.  

This analysis does not represent a forecast for FNCB and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating 
results. These simulations are based on numerous assumptions, including but not limited to: the nature and timing of interest 
rate  levels,  prepayments  on  loans  and  securities,  deposit  decay  rates,  pricing  decisions  on  loans  and  deposits, 
reinvestment/replacements of asset and liability cash flows, and other factors. While assumptions reflect current economic 
and local market conditions, FNCB cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including 
changes  in  interest  rates,  customer  preferences,  competition  and  liquidity  needs,  or  what  actions  ALCO  might  take  in 
responding to these changes. 

As previously mentioned, as part of its ongoing monitoring, ALCO requires quarterly back testing of modeling results, which 
involves after-the-fact comparisons of projections with FNCB’s actual performance to measure the validity of assumptions 
used in the modeling techniques. As part of its quarterly review, management compared tax-equivalent net interest income 
recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018 with tax-equivalent net interest income that was projected for the 
same three-month period. The variance between actual and projected tax-equivalent net interest income for the three-month 
period  ended  December  31,  2018 was  $190  thousand  or  2.1%.  Although  the  variance  was  deemed  immaterial,  ALCO 
performs a rate/volume analysis between actual and projected results to continue to improve the accuracy of its simulation 
models.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  

Note 1. ORGANIZATION 

FNCB Bancorp, Inc. is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 incorporated under 
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1997. It is the parent company of FNCB Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s 
wholly owned subsidiaries FNCB Realty Company, Inc., FNCB Realty Company I, LLC, and FNCB Realty Company II, 
LLC. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “FNCB” is used to refer to FNCB Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiaries. 
In certain circumstances, however, the term “FNCB” refers to FNCB Bancorp, Inc., itself. 

The Bank provides customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and local governments and 
municipalities through its 16 full-service branch locations within its primary market area, Northeastern Pennsylvania and its 
limited purpose office (“LPO”) based in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. 

FNCB Realty Company, Inc., FNCB Realty Company I, LLC, and FNCB Realty Company II, LLC were formed to hold real 
estate and/or operate businesses acquired in exchange for debt settlement or foreclosure. 

In December 2006, First National Community Statutory Trust I (“Issuing Trust”), which is wholly owned by FNCB, was 
formed under Delaware law to provide FNCB with an additional funding source through the issuance of pooled trust preferred 
securities.  FNCB  has  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (“ASC”)  810-10,  Consolidation,  for  the  Issuing  Trust. 
Accordingly,  the  Issuing  Trust  has not been  consolidated  with  the  accounts of FNCB,  because  FNCB  is  not  the  primary 
beneficiary of the trust. 

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of Presentation 

The consolidated financial statements of FNCB are comprised of the accounts of FNCB Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, FNCB Bank, as well as the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have 
been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of FNCB conform to accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Regulation S-X and general practices within the banking industry. Prior 
period amounts have been reclassified when necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications 
did not have a material impact on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the 
near term are the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), securities’ valuation and impairment evaluation, the valuation 
of other real estate owned (“OREO”), and income taxes. 

Cash Equivalents 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks. 

Securities 

FNCB  classifies  investment  securities  as  either held-to-maturity  or  available-for-sale  at  the  time  of purchase.  Investment 
securities that are classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and 
ability to hold them to maturity. Investment securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with 
unrealized holding gains and losses recognized as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive 
income  (loss),  net  of  tax.  Premiums  and  discounts  are  amortized  or  accreted  over  the  life  of  the  related  security  as  an 
adjustment  to  yield  using  the  interest  method.  Realized  gains  and  losses  on  sales  of  investment  securities  are  based  on 
amortized cost using the specific identification method on the trade date. 

72 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
 
 
On a quarterly basis, management evaluates individual debt investment securities in an unrealized loss position for other than 
temporary impairment (“OTTI”). An individual security is considered impaired when its current fair value is less than its 
amortized  cost  basis.  As  part  of  its  evaluation,  management  considers  the  following  factors,  among  other  things,  in 
determining whether the security’s impairment is other than temporary: 

the length of time and extent of the impairment; 
the causes of the decline in fair value, such as credit deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, or market volatility; 
adverse industry or geographic conditions; 

● 
● 
● 
●  historical implied volatility; 
●  payment structure of the security and whether FNCB expects to receive all contractual cash flows; 
● 
● 
● 

failure of the issuer to make contractual interest or principal payments in the past; 
changes in the security’s rating; and 
recoveries or additional declines in the security’s fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date. 

Based on current authoritative guidance, when a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale debt security is assessed for OTTI, 
management must first consider (a) whether management intends to sell the security and (b) whether it is more likely than 
not that FNCB will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost. If one of these circumstances applies 
to a security, an OTTI loss is recognized in the statement of income equal to the full amount of the decline in fair value below 
amortized  cost.  If  neither  of  these  circumstances  applies  to  a  security,  but  FNCB  does  not  expect  to  recover  the  entire 
amortized cost, an OTTI loss has occurred that must be separated into two categories: (a) the amount related to credit loss 
and (b) the amount related to other factors (such as market risk). In assessing the level of OTTI attributable to credit loss, 
management compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected with the amortized cost of the security. The 
portion of the total OTTI related to credit loss is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received 
over the remaining term of the security as estimated based on cash flow projections discounted at the applicable original yield 
of the security, and is recognized in earnings, while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive 
income (loss). The total OTTI loss is presented in the statement of income less the portion recognized in other comprehensive 
income (loss). When a debt security becomes other-than-temporarily impaired, its amortized cost basis is reduced to reflect 
the portion of the total impairment related to credit loss. 

For equity securities, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall 
(Subtopic 825-10): "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" which became effective 
January 1, 2018, FNCB will prospectively recognize any changes in the fair value of equity securities in the consolidated 
statements of income.  FNCB recognized losses of $27 thousand for changes in the fair value of equity securities for the year 
ended December 31, 2018. 

Investments in restricted securities have limited marketability, are carried at cost and are evaluated for impairment based on 
FNCB’s determination of the ultimate recoverability of the par value of the stock. FNCB’s investment in restricted securities, 
comprised of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, totaled $3.1 million 
and $2.8 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Management noted no indicators of impairment for restricted 
securities at December 31, 2018.  

Loans and Loan Origination Fees and Costs 

Loans receivable, other than loans held for sale, are stated at the principal outstanding, net of unamortized loan fees and costs, 
unearned income, partial charge-offs and the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest income on all loans is recognized 
using the effective interest method. Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan origination costs, 
are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. FNCB generally amortizes these 
amounts over the life of the related loan. Amortization of deferred loan fees or costs is discontinued when a loan is placed on 
non-accrual status. 

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when management believes 
that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. This generally occurs when a default of interest or principal has existed 
for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, or when management becomes aware of 
facts or circumstances that the loan would default before 90 days. FNCB determines delinquency status based on the number 
of days since the date of the borrower’s last required contractual loan payment. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all 
unpaid interest income is reversed and charged back against current earnings. Any subsequent cash payments received are 
applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts, with any excess treated 
as a recovery of lost interest. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the loan is current as to principal and 
interest payments, is performing according to contractual terms for six consecutive months and factors indicating reasonable 
doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. 
73 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
In accordance with federal regulations, prior to making, extending, renewing or advancing additional funds in excess of $250 
thousand on a loan secured by real estate, FNCB requires an appraisal of the property by an independent, state-certified or 
state-licensed  appraiser  (depending  upon  collateral  type  and  loan  amount)  that  is  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors. 
Appraisals are reviewed internally or by an independent third party engaged by FNCB. Generally, management obtains a 
new appraisal when a loan is deemed impaired. These appraisals may be more limited in scope than those obtained at the 
initial underwriting of the loan. 

Troubled Debt Restructurings 

FNCB considers a loan to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when it grants a concession to the borrower for legal or 
economic  reasons  related  to  the  borrower’s  financial  difficulties  that  it  would  not  otherwise  consider.  Such  concessions 
granted generally  involve  a reduction of  the  stated  interest  rate,  an  extension  of a  loan’s  stated  maturity date, a payment 
modification under a forbearance agreement, a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan, capitalization of 
real estate taxes, or a combination of these modifications. Non-accrual TDRs are returned to accrual status if principal and 
interest payments, under the modified terms, are brought current, are performing under the modified terms for six consecutive 
months, and management believes that collection of the remaining interest and principal is probable. 

Loan Impairment 

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that FNCB will be unable to collect all amounts due (including principal 
and interest) according to the contractual terms of the note and loan agreement. For purposes of the analysis, all TDRs, loan 
relationships with an aggregate outstanding balance greater than $100 thousand rated substandard and non-accrual, and loans 
that  are  identified  as doubtful  or  loss are  considered  impaired. Impaired  loans  are  analyzed  individually  to  determine  the 
amount  of  impairment.  For  collateral-dependent  loans,  impairment  is  measured  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral 
supporting the loans. A loan is determined to be collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is expected to be provided 
through  the  liquidation  of  the  collateral  held.  For  impaired  loans  that  are  secured  by  real  estate,  external  appraisals  are 
obtained annually, or more frequently as warranted, to ascertain a fair value so that the impairment analysis can be updated. 
Should  a  current  appraisal  not  be  available  at  the  time  of  impairment  analysis,  other  sources  of  valuation  may  be  used 
including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. For non-collateral dependent loans, 
impairment  is  measured  based  on  the  present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows,  net  of  any  deferred  fees  and  costs, 
discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. 

Generally, all loans with balances of $100 thousand or less are considered within homogeneous pools and are not individually 
evaluated for impairment. However, individual loans with balances of $100 thousand or less are individually evaluated for 
impairment if that loan is part of a larger impaired loan relationship or the loan is a TDR. 

Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off upon determination that all or a portion of the loan balance is uncollectible 
and exceeds the fair value of the collateral. A loan is considered uncollectible when the borrower is delinquent with respect 
to principal or interest repayment and it is unlikely that the borrower will have the ability to pay the debt in a timely manner, 
collateral value is insufficient to cover the outstanding indebtedness and the guarantors (if applicable) do not provide adequate 
support for the loan. 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses 

Management evaluates the credit quality of FNCB’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis and performs a formal review of the 
adequacy of the ALLL on a quarterly basis. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings 
and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loans, or portions of loans, determined by management to be uncollectible are charged 
off against the ALLL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALLL. 

Determining the amount of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment 
and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses 
on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and consideration of current economic 
trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their 
examination of FNCB, also review the ALLL, and may require, based on their judgments about information available to them 
at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. 
Additionally, the ALLL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio. 

74 

   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
 
 
The ALLL consists primarily of two components, a specific component and a general component. The specific component 
relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, 
collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general 
component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted by qualitative factors. The general reserve 
component of the ALLL is based on pools of unimpaired loans segregated by loan segment and risk rating categories of 
“Pass”, “Special Mention” or “Substandard and Accruing.” Historical loss factors and various qualitative factors are applied 
based on the risk profile in each risk rating category to determine the appropriate reserve related to those loans. Substandard 
loans on non-accrual status above the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold and all loans considered TDRs are classified 
as impaired. Based on its evaluation, management may establish an unallocated component for a respective loan segment (as 
discussed below) when the actual historical loss experience for that loan segment results in an overall negative historical loss 
factor. 

When establishing the ALLL, management categorizes loans into the following loan segments that are based generally on 
the nature of the collateral and basis of repayment. The risk characteristics of FNCB’s loan segments are as follows: 

Construction, Land Acquisition and Development Loans - These loans consist of loans secured by real estate, with the purpose 
of constructing one- to four-family homes, residential developments and various commercial properties including shopping 
centers, office complexes and single-purpose, owner-occupied structures. Additionally, loans in this category include loans 
for  land  acquisition,  secured  by raw  land. FNCB’s  construction  program  offers either  short-term,  interest-only  loans  that 
require the borrower to pay only interest during the construction phase with a balloon payment of the principal outstanding 
at the end of the construction period or only interest during construction with a conversion to amortizing principal and interest 
when the construction is complete. Loans for undeveloped real estate are subject to a loan-to-value ratio not to exceed 65%. 
Construction loans are treated similarly to the developed real estate loans and are subject to a maximum loan to value ratio 
of 85% based upon an “as-completed” appraised value.  Construction loans generally yield a higher interest rate than other 
mortgage loans but also carry more risk. 

Commercial Real Estate Loans - These loans represent the largest portion of FNCB’s total loan portfolio and loans in this 
portfolio generally carry larger loan balances. The commercial real estate mortgage loan portfolio consists of owner-occupied 
and  non-owner-occupied  properties  that  are  secured  by  a  broad  range  of  real  estate,  including  but  not  limited  to,  office 
complexes, shopping centers, hotels, warehouses, gas stations, convenience markets, residential care facilities, nursing care 
facilities, restaurants and multifamily housing. FNCB offers commercial real estate loans at various rates and terms that do 
not exceed 25 years. These types of loans are subject to specific loan-to-value guidelines prior to the time of closing. The 
policy limits for developed real estate loans are subject to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 85%. Commercial mortgage 
loans must also meet specific criteria that include the capacity, capital, credit worthiness and cash flow of the borrower and 
the project being financed. Potential borrower(s) and guarantor(s) are required to provide FNCB with historical and current 
financial data. As part of the underwriting process for commercial real estate loans, management performs a review of the 
cash flow analysis of the borrower(s), guarantor(s) and the project in addition to considering the borrower’s expertise, credit 
history, net worth and the value of the underlying property. 

Commercial and Industrial Loans - FNCB offers commercial loans at various rates and terms to businesses located in its 
primary market area. The commercial loan portfolio includes revolving lines of credit, automobile floor plans, equipment 
loans, vehicle loans, improvement loans and term loans. These loans generally carry a higher risk than commercial real estate 
loans by  the  nature of  the underlying  collateral,  which  can be  machinery  and equipment,  inventory, accounts receivable, 
vehicles or marketable securities. Generally, a collateral lien is placed on the collateral supporting the loan. In order to reduce 
the risk associated with these loans, management may attempt to secure real estate as collateral and obtain personal guarantees 
of the borrower as deemed necessary. 

State  and  Political  Subdivision  Loans  -  FNCB  originates  general  obligation  notes  and  tax  anticipation  loans  to  state  and 
political subdivisions, which are primarily municipalities in FNCB’s market area. 

Residential Real Estate Loans - FNCB offers fixed- and variable-rate one- to four-family residential loans. Residential first 
lien mortgages are generally subject to an 80% loan to value ratio based on the appraised value of the property. FNCB will 
generally require the mortgagee to purchase Private Mortgage Insurance if the amount of the loan exceeds the 80% loan to 
value ratio. Residential mortgage loans are generally smaller in size and are considered homogeneous as they exhibit similar 
characteristics. FNCB may sell loans and retain servicing when warranted by market conditions. 

Consumer  Loans  –  FNCB  offers  both  secured  and  unsecured  installment  loans,  personal  lines  of  credit  and  overdraft 
protection  loans.  FNCB  is  in  the  business  of  underwriting  indirect  auto  loans  which  are  originated  through  various  auto 
dealers in northeastern Pennsylvania and dealer floor plan loans. FNCB offers home equity loans and home equity lines of 
credit (“HELOCs”) with a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio of 90% based on the appraised value of the property. 
75 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Home equity loans have fixed rates of interest and carry terms up to 15 years. HELOCs have adjustable interest rates and are 
based  upon  the  national  prime  interest  rate.  Consumer  loans  are  generally  smaller  in  size  and  exhibit  homogeneous 
characteristics. 

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit-Related Financial Instruments 

FNCB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing 
need of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused portions of lines of credit, 
including revolving HELOCs, and letters of credit. FNCB’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the 
other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. FNCB uses the 
same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. In order to provide for probable 
losses inherent in these instruments, FNCB records a reserve for unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities on the 
consolidated  statements  of  financial  condition,  with  the  offsetting  expense  recorded  in  other  operating  expenses  in  the 
consolidated statements of income. 

Mortgage Banking Activities and Loan Servicing 

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value determined on an 
individual loan basis. Net unrealized losses are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Gains and losses 
on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan 
sold and include the value assigned to the rights to service the loan. 

FNCB  may  also  elect  to  sell  the  guaranteed  principal  balance  of  loans  that  are  guaranteed  by  the  Small  Business 
Administration (“SBA”) and retain the servicing on those loans. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, FNCB 
sold the guaranteed principal balance of loans totaling $5.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.  

Servicing rights are recorded at fair value upon sale of the loan and reported in other assets on the consolidated statements of 
financial condition. Servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period during which estimated servicing 
income will be received. 

Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or alternately, is based on a valuation 
model  that  calculates  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  net  servicing  income.  The  valuation  model  incorporates 
assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the 
discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. 

Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each reporting date based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to 
amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant risk characteristics, such 
as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, 
to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranche. If management later determines that all or a 
portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase 
to income. 

Other Real Estate Owned  

OREO consists of property acquired by foreclosure, abandonment or conveyance of deed in-lieu of foreclosure of a loan, and 
bank premises that are no longer used for operation or for future expansion. OREO is held for sale and is initially recorded at 
fair value less costs to sell at the date of acquisition or transfer, which establishes a new cost basis. Upon acquisition of the 
property through foreclosure or deed in-lieu of foreclosure, any adjustment to fair value less estimated selling costs is recorded 
to the ALLL. The determination is made on an individual asset basis. Bank premises no longer used for operations or future 
expansion are transferred to OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs with any related write-down included in non-
interest expense. Subsequent to acquisition, valuations are periodically performed, and the assets are carried at the lower of 
cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is determined through external appraisals, current letters of intent, 
broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale, unless management determines that conditions exist that warrant an 
adjustment to the value. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the OREO properties may be capitalized; 
holding period costs and any subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense as incurred.

Bank Premises and Equipment 

Land is stated at cost. Bank premises, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Costs for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while significant expenditures for improvements are 
capitalized. Depreciation expense is computed generally using the straight-line method over the following ranges of estimated 
useful lives, or in the case of leasehold improvements, to the expected terms of the leases, if shorter: 

Buildings and improvements (years) ..................................................................................................................... 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment (years) ............................................................................................................. 
Leasehold improvements (years) ........................................................................................................................... 

 5 to  40 
 2 to  20 
 3 to  35 

Long-lived Assets 

Intangible assets and bank premises and equipment are reviewed by management at least annually for potential impairment 
and whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. 

Income Taxes 

FNCB recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of 
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax 
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or 
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that 
includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, 
it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

FNCB files a consolidated Federal income tax return. Under tax sharing agreements, each subsidiary provides for and settles 
income taxes with FNCB as if it would have filed on a separate return basis. Interest and penalties, if any, as a result of a 
taxing authority examination are recognized within non-interest expense. FNCB is not currently subject to an audit by any of 
its tax authorities and with limited exception is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by taxing 
authorities for years before 2015. 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing 
authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that 
would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during 
which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained 
upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or 
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the 
largest  amount  of  tax  benefit  that  is  more  than  50%  likely  of  being  realized  upon  settlement  with  the  applicable  taxing 
authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described 
above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be 
payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Management determined that FNCB had no liabilities for uncertain tax 
positions at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

Earnings per Share 

Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the 
weighted-average  common  shares outstanding during  the period.  Diluted  earnings per  share  reflect  additional  shares  that 
would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be 
issued by FNCB relate to outstanding stock options and shares of unvested restricted stock, for which the dilutive effect is 
calculated using the treasury stock method. 

Stock-Based Compensation 

FNCB is required to measure and record compensation expense for stock-based payments based on the instrument’s fair value 
on the date of the grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing  model.  The  fair  value  of  shares  of  restricted  stock  awarded  under  the  Long  Term  Incentive  Compensation  Plan 
(“LTIP”) is determined using an average of the high and low prices for FNCB’s common stock for the 10 days preceding the 

77 

  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
grant date. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock is recognized ratably over the vesting 
period, adjusted for forfeitures during the period in which they occur.  

Bank-Owned Life Insurance 

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) represents the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on certain current and 
former directors and officers of FNCB. FNCB purchased the insurance as a tax-deferred investment and future source of 
funding for liabilities, including the payment of employee benefits such as health care. BOLI is carried in the consolidated 
statements of financial condition at its cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of the policies, as well as proceeds 
received, are recorded in non-interest income. Under some of these policies, the beneficiaries receive a portion of the death 
benefit. The net present value of the future death benefits scheduled to be paid to the beneficiaries was $111 thousand and 
$108 thousand at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is reflected in other liabilities on the consolidated statements 
of financial condition. 

Fair Value Measurement 

FNCB uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities and to determine 
fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from 
time to time, FNCB may be required to recognize adjustments to other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as 
impaired loans, other securities, and OREO. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous 
market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An orderly transaction is a transaction 
that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual 
and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. 

Accounting standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, establish a three-level hierarchy for 
disclosure  of  fair  value  measurement  and  provide  disclosure  requirements  about  fair  value  measurements.  The  valuation 
hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: 

●  Level 1 valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. 

●  Level 2 valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market 
prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques 
for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data; and 

●  Level 3 valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow models and similar 
techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect 
estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value. 

Revenue Recognition 

FNCB recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided 
and collectability is reasonably assured.  FNCB's primary source of revenue is interest income from the Bank's loans and 
investment securities. FNCB also earns non-interest income from various banking services offered by the Bank as follows:  

●  Deposit service charges - include general service fees for monthly account maintenance, account analysis fees, non-
sufficient funds fees, wire transfer fees and other deposit account related fees. Revenue is recognized when FNCB’s 
performance  obligation  is  completed  which  is  generally  monthly  for  account  maintenance  services  or  when  a 
transaction has been completed (such as a wire transfer). Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is received 
immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Also included in deposit 
service charges is income from ATM surcharges and debit card services income. ATM surcharges are generated 
when an FNCB cardholder uses a non-FNCB ATM or a non-FNCB cardholder uses an FNCB ATM. Card services 
income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever a customer uses an FNCB debit card as payment 
for  goods  and/or  services  through  a  card  payment  network  such  as  Mastercard/Visa.  FNCB’s  performance 
obligation is satisfied on a daily basis as transactions are processed. FNCB recognizes ATM surcharges and card 
services income as transactions with merchants are settled, generally on a daily basis.

●  Net gains on the sale of other real estate owned - FNCB records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control 
of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When FNCB finances 
the sale of OREO to the buyer, FNCB assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under 
the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable.  Once these criteria are met, the OREO 
assets is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the 
buyer.  In determining the gain or loss on the sale, FNCB adjusts the transaction prices and related gain (loss) on 
sale if a significant financing component is present.  

●  Other income – primarily includes wealth management fee income, merchant services fee income and title insurance 
revenue.  Wealth  management  fee  income  represents  fees  received  from  a  third-party  broker-dealer  as  part  of  a 
revenue-sharing agreement for fees earned from customers that we refer to the third party. Merchant services fees 
represent commissions received from the major payment networks such as VISA/Mastercard on activity generated 
by customers on their merchant account. Wealth management and merchant services fee income are transactional 
in  nature  and  are  recognized  in  income  monthly  when  FNCB’s  performance  obligation  is  complete,  which  is 
generally the time that payment is received. With regard to title insurance revenue, FNCB is a member in a limited 
liability company that provides title insurance services to customers referred by member financial institutions. In 
accordance with an operating agreement, the title insurance company makes quarterly discretionary distributions to 
member  institutions on  a  pro-rata  basis  based on  their  respective  membership  interest  percentage  at  the  time  of 
distribution.  FNCB’s  performance  obligation  under  the  operating  agreement  was  satisfied  with  its  capital 
contribution. There are no future minimum referral quotas required under the operating agreement. FNCB records 
revenue from quarterly distributions at the time of receipt. 

Comprehensive Income  

Accounting  principles  generally  require  that  recognized  revenue,  expenses,  gains  and  losses  be  included  in  net  income. 
Although 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 shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial condition, such items, along 
with net income, are components of comprehensive income. 

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance 

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Section A, “Summary and Amendments That Create 
Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (Topic 606)  and  Other  Assets  and  Deferred  Costs-Contract  with  Customers 
(Subtopic 340-40);”  Section  B,  “Conforming  Amendments  to  Other  Topics  and  Subtopics  in  the  Codification  and  Status 
Tables;” and Section C, “Background Information and Basis for Conclusions,” provides a robust framework for addressing 
revenue  recognition  issues,  and  replaced  almost  all  existing  revenue  recognition  guidance,  including  industry  specific 
guidance, in current GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer 
of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which FNCB expects to be entitled in exchange 
for  those  goods  or  services.  ASU 2014-09 also  resulted  in  enhanced  interim  and  annual  disclosures,  both  qualitative  and 
quantitative, about revenue in order to help financial statement users understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty 
of  revenue  and  related  cash  flows.  ASU 2014-09 establishes  a five-step  model  which  entities  must  follow  to  recognize 
revenue and removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in existing guidance. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated 
with  financial  instruments,  including  loans  and  investment  securities  that  are  accounted  for  under  other  GAAP,  which 
comprises  a  significant  portion  of  FNCB’s  revenue  stream.  ASU 2014-09 became  effective  for  FNCB  on January  1, 
2018. FNCB elected to implement the new guidance using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect 
recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings upon adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 
2018 did not have a material effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB, and there was no cumulative effect 
adjustment required to be recorded. Additional disclosure has been added to Note 2 disclosing the composition of the FNCB's 
primary sources of noninterest revenue. 

ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities” requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized 
through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation 
of the investee). The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the 
portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when 
the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. 
In addition, this ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized 
cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions 
used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the 
balance sheet for public business entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 for 
79 

  
 
 
 
  
  
  
   
  
  
public business entities. Accordingly, FNCB adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on January 1, 2018. The adoption 
resulted  in  a reclassification  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  to  retained  earnings  in  the  amount  of  $65 
thousand to reflect the fair value of FNCB’s equity securities, which is included in the consolidated statements of changes in 
shareholders’  equity.  ASU 2016-01 also  requires  the  use  of  exit  prices  to  measure  fair  value  of  financial  instruments. 
Accordingly, we refined the calculation used to determine the disclosed fair value of FNCB’s loans held for investment as 
part of adopting this standard. The refined calculation did not have a significant impact on FNCB’s fair value disclosures. 
For  more  information  about  fair  value  disclosures,  refer  to  Note 15, “Fair  Value  Measurements”  to  these  consolidated 
financial statements. 

ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” provides 
guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in order to reduce current and potential future diversity in reporting. The specific 
cash flow items addressed include debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments 
with  coupon  interest  rates  that  are  insignificant  in  relation  to  the  effective  interest  rate  of  the  borrowing,  contingent 
consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from 
the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received 
from equity method investees, beneficial interest in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and 
application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning 
after December  15,  2017, and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  on January  1, 
2018 had no effect on the statement of cash flows of FNCB. 

ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Scope of Modification Accounting” clarifies when it is 
appropriate to apply modification accounting guidance when there is a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based 
payment award. Specifically, the standard provides that an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the 
fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award immediately before modification, if the vesting conditions 
of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before modification, and the 
classification of the modified award is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before modification. 
ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 
2017. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 had no effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. 

Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods 

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): “Leases” will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the 
assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent 
with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by the 
lessee  will  primarily  depend  on  its  classification  as  a  finance  or  operating  lease.  However,  unlike  current  GAAP,  which 
requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both finance and operating leases 
to  be  recognized  on  the  balance  sheet.  ASU  2016-02  will  also  require  disclosures  to  help  investors  and  other  financial 
statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new disclosures 
will include both qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in 
the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective with fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning 
after December 15, 2018 for public business entities. An entity may adopt the new guidance either by restating prior periods 
and recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or by recording a 
cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the period of adoption. FNCB adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019 and 
plans to apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment at that date. Management performed a comprehensive 
evaluation of the effect this guidance may have on its operating results or financial position, including working with various 
business units within the organization and reviewing contractual arrangements for embedded leases in an effort to identify 
FNCB’s  full  lease  population.  Based  on  management's  evaluation,  the  adoption  of  ASU  2016-02  will  result 
in FNCB recording an aggregate lease liability and right of use asset of $3.7 million for its operating lease commitments. 

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” 
replaces the current loss impairment methodology under GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and 
requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates in an effort 
to  provide  financial  statement  users  with  more  decision-useful  information  about  the  expected  credit  losses  on  financial 
instruments and other commitments to extend credit. Specifically, the amendments in this ASU will require a financial asset 
(or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. 
The amendments in this update affect entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for 
at fair value through net income, including such financial assets as loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments 
in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the 
scope  that  have  the  contractual  right  to  receive  cash.  On June  17,  2016, the four,  federal  financial  institution  regulatory 
agencies (the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National 
80 

  
  
   
  
  
Credit  Union  Administration  and  the  Office  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency),  issued  a  joint  statement  to  provide 
information about ASU 2016-13 and the initial supervisory views regarding the implementation of the new standard. The 
joint statement applies to all banks, savings associations, credit unions and financial institution holding companies, regardless 
of  asset  size. The  statement  details  the  key  elements  of,  and  the  steps necessary  for,  the  successful  transition  to  the  new 
accounting standard. In addition, the statement notifies financial institutions that because the appropriate allowance levels are 
institution-specific  amounts,  the  agencies  will not establish  benchmark  targets  or  ranges  for  the  change  in  institutions’ 
allowance levels upon adoption of the ASU, or for allowance levels going forward. Due to the importance of ASU 2016-
13, the  agencies  encourage  financial  institutions  to  begin  planning  and  preparing  for  the  transition  and  state  that  senior 
management, under the oversight of the board of directors, should work closely with staff in their accounting, lending, credit 
risk management, internal audit, and information technology functions during the transition period leading up to, and well 
after,  adoption.  ASU 2016-13 is  effective  for  public  business  entities  that  are  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission 
(“SEC”) filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All 
entities may adopt the amendments in this ASU earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including 
interim periods within those fiscal years. Accordingly, FNCB will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2020. FNCB has created 
a Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) task group comprised of members of its finance, credit administration, lending, 
internal audit, loan operations and information systems units. The CECL task group has become familiar with the provisions 
of ASU 2016-13 and is in the process of implementing the new guidance, which includes, but is not limited to: (1) identifying 
segments and sub-segments within the loan portfolio that have similar risk characteristics; (2) determining the appropriate 
methodology for each segment; (3) implementing changes that are necessary to its core operating system and interfaces to be 
able to capture appropriate data requirements; and (4) evaluating  qualitative factors and economic to develop appropriate 
forecasts for integration into the model.  FNCB plans to begin running parallel computations using the current GAAP incurred 
loss model in the first quarter of 2019. FNCB is currently evaluating the effect this guidance may have on its operating results 
and/or financial position, including assessing any potential impact on its capital. 

ASU  2017-08,  Receivables  –  Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs  (Topic  310):  “Premium  Amortization  on  Purchased 
Callable Debt Securities” requires that the amortization period for certain callable debt securities be shortened to the earliest 
call date. The amortization of callable securities held at a discount is not affected. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, 
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities. The adoption 
of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have a material effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. 

ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for 
Fair  Value  Measurement”  modifies  the  disclosure  requirements  on  fair  value  measurements  in  Topic  820,  Fair  Value 
Measurement, based on the FASB Concepts Statement, “Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes 
to Financial Statements”. In accordance with the Concepts Statement, this ASU removes, modifies and adds select disclosure 
requirements under Topic 820 after consideration of costs and benefits. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim 
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. The 
adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 is not expected to have a material effect on the operating results or financial 
position of FNCB. 

ASU  2018-15  Intangibles  –  Goodwill  and  Other–Internal-Use  Software  (Subtopic  350-40):  “Customer’s  Accounting  for 
Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” aligns the requirements for 
capitalizing  implementation  costs  incurred  in  a  hosting  arrangement  that  is  a  service  contract  with  the  requirements  for 
capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include 
an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 requires that a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract 
follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which costs to expense, 
as well as requiring costs that cannot be capitalized to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. ASU 2018-15 
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities, and interim periods within those 
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 
2020 is not expected to have a material effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. 

Note 3. RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES 

FNCB is required to maintain certain average reserve balances as established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of 
those reserve balances for the reserve computation periods which included December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1.6 million 
and $1.8 million, respectively. FNCB satisfied the required reserve balances through the restriction of vault cash and 
deposits maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank. 

81 

  
  
  
   
 
  
  
In addition, FNCB maintains compensating balances at correspondent banks, most of which are not required, but are used 
to offset specific charges for services. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the amount of these balances was $2.8 million and 
$114 thousand, respectively.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturity because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with 
or without call or prepayment penalties. Because collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and asset-
backed  securities  are  not  due  at  a  single  maturity  date,  they  are  not  included  in  the  maturity  categories  in  the  following

Management  evaluates  individual  securities  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  quarterly  for  OTTI.  As  part  of  its  evaluation, 
management  considers,  among  other  things,  the  length  of  time  a  security’s  fair  value  is  less  than  its  amortized  cost,  the 
severity of decline, any credit deterioration of the issuer, whether or not management intends to sell the security, and whether 
it is more likely than not that FNCB will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost.  

There  were  173 securities  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  at  December  31,  2018,  including  46 securities  issued  by  a  U.S. 
government or government-sponsored agency, 112 obligations of state and political subdivisions, 10 negotiable certificates 
of  deposit,  2 asset-backed  securities,  2  corporate  debt  securities  and one  private  collateralized  mortgage 
obligation. Management performed a review of all securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2018 and 
determined  that  movements  in  the  fair  values  of  the  securities  were  consistent  with  changes  in  market  interest  rates.  In 
addition, as part of its review, management noted that there was no material change in the credit quality of any of the issuers 
or any other event or circumstance that may cause a significant adverse effect on the fair value of these securities. Moreover, 
to date, FNCB has received all scheduled principal and interest payments and expects to fully collect all future contractual 
principal and interest payments on all securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2018. FNCB does not intend 
to  sell  the securities  nor  is  it  more  likely  than  not  that  it  will  be  required  to  sell  the  securities, prior  to recovery  of  their 
amortized  cost.  Based  on  the  results  of  its  review  and  considering  the  attributes  of  these  debt  securities,  management 
concluded that the individual unrealized losses were temporary and OTTI did not exist at December 31, 2018.  

Equity Securities 

FNCB’s  investment  in  equity  securities  consists  entirely  of  a  mutual  fund  investment  comprised  of one-  to four-family 
residential mortgage-backed securities collateralized by properties within FNCB’s geographical market. At December 31, 
2018, this mutual fund had an amortized cost of $1.0 million and an unrealized loss of $109 thousand, resulting in a fair value 
of $891 thousand. In accordance with ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): “Recognition and 
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which became effective January 1, 2018, FNCB will recognize 
any changes in the fair value of this equity security in the consolidated statements of income on a prospective basis. As a 
result  of  the  adoption  of  this  new  accounting  guidance  on January  1,  2018, FNCB  recorded  a one-time  reclassification 
between retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss for the unrealized loss on this mutual fund, net of taxes, 
of $65 thousand. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the fair value of this equity security declined by $27 thousand, 
which  is  included  in  net  loss  on  equity  securities  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  income.  The following  table  presents 
unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Management  noted  no  indicators  of  impairment  for  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  ("FHLB")  of  Pittsburgh  or  Atlantic 
Community Bankers Bank stock at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values 

FNCB owns a $1.7 million investment in the common stock of a privately-held bank holding company. The common stock 
was purchased during 2017 as part of a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended for offerings not involving any public offering. The common stock of such bank holding 
company is not currently traded on any established market and is not expected to be traded in the near future on any securities 
exchange or established over-the-counter market. FNCB has elected to account for this transaction as an investment in an 
equity security without a readily determinable fair value. An equity security without a readily determinable fair value shall 
be written down to its fair value if a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the 
investment is less than its carrying value. The $1.7 million investment is included in other assets in the consolidated statements 
of  financial  condition  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017.  As  part  of  its  qualitative  assessment,  management  engaged  an 
independent third party to provide a valuation of this investment as of December 31, 2018, which indicated that the investment 
was not impaired. Management determined that no adjustment for impairment was required at December 31, 2018.

FNCB originates one- to four-family mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. During the years ended December 31, 
2018  and 2017,  one-  to  four-family  mortgages  sold  on  the  secondary  market  were  $9.6 million  and $12.4 million, 
respectively. Net gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans were $210 thousand in 2018 and $304 thousand in 2017. 
FNCB retains servicing rights on mortgages sold in the secondary market. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 
there were $820 thousand and $1.1 million in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans held for sale, respectively. 

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and 2017,  FNCB  sold  the  guaranteed  principal  balance  of  loans  that  were 
guaranteed by the  Small  Business Administration (“SBA”)  totaling  $5.7 million  and $0.9 million,  respectively. Net gains 
realized upon the sales, included in non-interest income, totaled $322 thousand in 2018 and $79 thousand in 2017. FNCB has 
retained the servicing rights on these loans. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others, including residential 
mortgages and SBA-guaranteed loans were $108.4 million and $103.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

FNCB does not have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets 
borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, 
and bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden 
ratios. 

FNCB provides for loan losses based on the consistent application of its documented ALLL methodology. Loan losses are 
charged to the ALLL and recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the ALLL are provided by charges against income based 
on various factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition of estimated probable losses. Loan losses 
are charged-off in the period the loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. Generally, FNCB will record a loan 
charge-off (including a partial charge-off) to reduce a loan to the estimated recoverable amount based on its methodology 
detailed below. Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio and makes adjustments for loan losses in order to maintain 
the ALLL in accordance with GAAP. The ALLL consists primarily of the following two components: 

(1)  Specific  allowances  are  established  for  impaired  loans,  which  FNCB  defines  as  all  loan  relationships  with  an 
aggregate  outstanding  balance  greater  than  $100  thousand  rated  substandard  and  on  non-accrual,  loans  rated 
doubtful  or  loss,  and  all  TDRs.  The  amount  of  impairment  provided  for  as  an  allowance  is  represented  by  the 
deficiency, if any, between the carrying value of the loan and either (a) the present value of expected future cash 
flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, (b) the loan’s observable market price, or (c) the fair value of 
the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans. Impaired loans that have no 
impairment losses are not considered in the establishment of general valuation allowances as described below. If 
management determines that collection of the impairment amount is remote, a charge-off will be recorded for the 
impairment amount.  

(2)  General allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of 
impaired. FNCB divides its portfolio into loan segments for loans exhibiting similar characteristics. Loans rated 
special mention or substandard and accruing, which are embedded in these loan segments, are then separated from 
these loan segments, as these loans are subject to an analysis that emphasizes the credit risk associated with these 
loans. An estimated loss rate is then applied to each loan segment, which are based on FNCB’s own historical loss 
experience for each respective loan segment. In addition, management evaluates and applies to each loan segment 
certain qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with FNCB’s 
existing portfolio to differ from historical experience, which are discussed below. For loans that have an internal 
credit rating of special mention or substandard, the qualitative and environmental factors are further adjusted for 
the increased risk.

As part of its evaluation, management considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to: 

● 

● 
● 

● 
● 
● 

● 
● 

● 

changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various 
market segments; 
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio;  
changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery 
practices and results; 
changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff;  
changes in the quality of the loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Board of Directors;  
changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of 
non-accrual loans, TDRs and other loan modifications; 
the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations;  
the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated 
credit losses in the current loan portfolio; and  
analysis of customers’ credit quality, including knowledge of their operating environment and financial condition. 

Management  evaluates  the  credit  quality  of  the  loan  portfolio  on  an  ongoing  basis,  and  performs  a  formal  review  of  the 
adequacy of the ALLL on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may 
be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses 
may be significantly more than the established ALLL, which could have a material negative effect on FNCB’s operating 
results  or  financial  condition.  While  management  uses  the  best  information  available  to  make  its  evaluations,  future 
adjustments  to  the  ALLL  may  be  necessary  if  conditions  differ  substantially  from  the  information  used  in  making  the 
evaluations. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of FNCB, also review the ALLL, and may require, 
based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be 
charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. 

The following tables present, by loan category, the activity in the ALLL and the allocation of the ALLL and related loan 
balance disaggregated based on impairment methodology at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Credit Quality Indicators – Commercial Loans 

Management continuously monitors and evaluates the credit quality of FNCB’s commercial loans by regularly reviewing 
certain credit quality indicators. Management utilizes credit risk ratings as the key credit quality indicator for evaluating the 
credit quality of FNCB’s loan receivables. 

FNCB’s  commercial  loan  classification  and  credit  grading  processes  are  part  of  the  lending,  underwriting,  and  credit 
administration  functions  to  ensure  an  ongoing  assessment  of  credit  quality.  FNCB  maintains  a  formal,  written  loan 
classification and credit grading system that includes a discussion of the factors used to assign appropriate classifications of 
credit grades to loans. The risk grade groupings provide a mechanism to identify risk within the loan portfolio and provide 
management and the board of directors with periodic reports by risk category. The process also identifies groups of loans that 
warrant the special attention of management. Accurate and timely loan classification and credit grading is a critical component 
of loan portfolio management. Loan officers are required to review their loan portfolio risk ratings regularly for accuracy. In 
addition, the credit risk ratings play an important role in the loan review function, as well as the establishment and evaluation 
of the provision for loan and lease losses and the ALLL.  

The  loan  review  function  uses  the  same  risk  rating  system  in  the  loan  review  process.  Quarterly,  FNCB  engages  an 
independent third party to assess the quality of the loan portfolio and evaluate the accuracy of ratings with the loan officer’s 
and management’s assessment.

FNCB’s loan rating system assigns a degree of risk to commercial loans based on relevant information about the ability of 
borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, 
public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Management analyzes these non-homogeneous loans 
individually by grading the loans as to credit risk and probability of collection for each type of loan. Commercial and industrial 
loans include commercial indirect auto loans which are not individually risk rated, and construction, land acquisition and 
development loans include residential construction loans which are also not individually risk rated. These loans are monitored 
on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature as described in “Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans” below. FNCB risk 
rates certain residential real estate loans and consumer loans that are part of a larger commercial relationship using a credit 
grading system as described in “Credit Quality Indicators – Commercial Loans.” The grading system contains the following 
basic risk categories:  

1. Minimal Risk 
2. Above Average Credit Quality 
3. Average Risk 
4. Acceptable Risk 
5. Pass - Watch 
6. Special Mention 
7. Substandard - Accruing 
8. Substandard - Non-Accrual 
9. Doubtful 
10. Loss 

This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis using the following definitions for risk ratings: 

Pass –  Assets rated 1  through 5  are  considered pass  ratings. These  assets  show no  current or  potential  problems  and  are 
considered fully collectible. All such loans are evaluated collectively for ALLL calculation purposes. However, accruing 
loans restructured under a TDR that have been performing for an extended period, do not represent a higher risk of loss, and 
have been upgraded to a pass rating are evaluated individually for impairment. 

Special Mention – Assets classified as special mention do not currently expose FNCB to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant 
an adverse classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving close attention.  Special mention 
assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk which, if not corrected, could weaken the asset and 
increase risk in the future. 

Substandard  –  Assets  classified  as  substandard  have  well  defined  weaknesses  based  on  objective  evidence,  and  are 
characterized by the distinct possibility that FNCB will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  

Doubtful – Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added 
characteristic that such weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on current 
circumstances.  

Loss – Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is 
not warranted.

Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans 

Certain residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and commercial indirect auto loans are monitored on a pool basis due 
to their homogeneous nature. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more are placed on non-accrual status unless collection of 
the loan is in process and reasonably assured. FNCB utilizes accruing versus non-accrual status as the credit quality indicator 
for these loan pools. 

The following  tables present  the recorded  investment  in  loans  receivable  by  loan  category  and  credit  quality  indicator  at 
December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in 
the financial condition of the borrowers. The recorded investment in these non-accrual loans was $4.7 million at December 
31, 2018 and $2.6 million at December 31, 2017. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 
days or more delinquent. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status it remains on non-accrual status until it has been brought 
current,  has  six  months  of  performance  under  the  loan  terms,  and  factors  indicating  reasonable  doubt  about  the  timely 
collection of payments no longer exists. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less 
than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accrual status. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing 
at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The following tables present a distribution of the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance and the related allowance for 
FNCB’s impaired loans, which have been analyzed for impairment under ASC 310, at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Non-
accrual  loans,  other  than  TDRs,  with  balances  less  than  the  $100  thousand  loan  relationship  threshold  are  not  evaluated 
individually for impairment and accordingly, are not included in the following tables. However, these loans are evaluated 
collectively for impairment as homogeneous pools in the general allowance under ASC Topic 450. Total non-accrual loans, 
other than TDRs, with balances less than the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold that were evaluated under ASC Topic 
450 amounted to $0.7 million at both December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans 

TDRs at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $9.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Accruing and non-accruing TDRs 
were $8.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively at December 31, 2018 and $9.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively at 
December 31, 2017. Approximately $651 thousand and $750 thousand in specific reserves have been established for TDRs 
as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. FNCB was not committed to lend additional funds to any loan classified as 
a TDR at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

The modification of the terms of loans classified as TDRs  may include one or a combination of the following, among others: 
a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date, capitalization of real estate taxes, a payment 
modification under a forbearance agreement, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.  

There were no loans modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2018.  The following table presents the pre- and 
post-modification recorded investment in loans modified as TDRs and type of modifications made during the year ended

There were nine loan relationships modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2017, which incorporated a total 
of sixteen individual loans. There were three loan relationships, comprised of eight commercial real estate loans totaling $5.3 
million,  and  two  loan  relationships,  comprised  of  four  commercial  and  industrial  loans  totaling  $1.8  million,  that  were 
modified  under  varying  forms  of  forbearance  agreements  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.  Additional  TDRs 
included two consumer loans totaling $85 thousand that had their terms extended and delinquent taxes capitalized, as well as 
two  residential  real  estate  loans  totaling  of  $190  thousand  that  had  their  terms  extended.  The  commercial  real  estate 
modifications  included  a  principal  forbearance  agreement  for  one  loan  in  the  amount  of  $4.0  million  and  reductions  in 
required  monthly  principal  payments  resulting  in  balloon  payments  due  at  maturity  for  seven  loans  to  two  borrowers 
aggregating $1.2 million. The four commercial and industrial loan modifications involved the delay of required principal and

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  of  premises  and  equipment  amounted  to  $1.4 million for  each  of the  years  ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

On September 27, 2018, FNCB executed a contract with Branch Banking and Trust Company to purchase the real property, 
improvements and fixtures located at 360 South Mountain Boulevard, Mountain Top, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania for $550 
thousand for the purpose of opening a branch office. The contract contains a deed restriction under which FNCB has agreed 
to not operate, sell, or lease the property for a period of six months from the recording of the deed. FNCB closed on the 
purchase of the property on December 14, 2018 and anticipates opening a new branch office at this location by the end of the 
second quarter of 2019. 

On November 5, 2018, FNCB received approval from its primary regulator to relocate the Bank’s main office located at 102 
E. Drinker Street, Dunmore, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, into a new state-of -the-art office that is being constructed 
directly across the street at 100 S. Blakely Street, Dunmore, Pennsylvania. The property is currently owned by the Bank and 
houses a separate drive-thru location, as well as a drive-thru and a walk-up ATM. The project is anticipated to cost $2.0 
million  and  will  be  funded  by  cash  generated  through  operations. FNCB  incurred  a  $148 thousand  abandonment  charge 
related to the existing drive-thru location which is included in other losses in the consolidated statements of income for the 
year ended December 31, 2018.

Investment  securities  with  a  carrying  value  of  $286.4 million  and  $282.3 million  at  December  31,  2018 and  2017, 
respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain municipal deposits. In addition, FNCB had outstanding letters of credit 
with the FHLB to secure municipal deposits of $47.5 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  

Note 8. BORROWED FUNDS/SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

Short-term borrowings available to FNCB include overnight FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, federal funds lines of credit and 
the  Federal  Reserve  Discount  Window,  which  generally  represent  overnight  or  less  than  30-day  borrowings.  FNCB’s 
maximum borrowing capacity under federal funds lines of credit and the Federal Reserve Discount Window was $40.0 million 
and  $9.9 million,  respectively  at  December  31,  2018.  Federal  funds  lines  of  credit  are  unsecured,  while  any  borrowings 
through the Federal Reserve Discount Window are fully collateralized by certain pledged loans in the amount of $17.9 million 
at December 31, 2018. 

FNCB  has  an  agreement  with  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  which  allows  for  borrowings,  either  overnight  or  term,  up  to  its 
maximum borrowing capacity, which is based on a percentage of qualifying loans pledged under a blanket pledge agreement. 
Loans  of  $492.3 million  and  $448.2 million,  at  December  31,  2018 and  2017,  respectively,  were  pledged  to  collateralize 
borrowings under this agreement. FNCB’s maximum borrowing capacity was $344.9 million at December 31, 2018, of which 
$12.3 million in fixed-rate advances having original maturities between two years and five years, $6.6 million in overnight 
funds and $47.5 million  in letters of credit to secure municipal deposits, were outstanding. In addition to pledging loans, 
FNCB is required to purchase FHLB of Pittsburgh stock based upon the amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding.

On December 14, 2006, the Issuing Trust issued $10.0 million of trust preferred securities (the “Trust Securities”) at a variable 
interest rate of 7.02%, with a scheduled maturity of December 15, 2036. FNCB owns 100.0% of the ownership interest in the 
Issuing  Trust.  The  proceeds  from  the  issue  were  invested  in  $10.3  million,  7.02%  Junior  Subordinated  Debentures  (the 
“Debentures”) issued by FNCB. The interest rate on the Trust Securities and the Debentures resets quarterly at a spread of 
1.67% above the current 3-month LIBOR rate. The average interest rate paid on the Debentures was 3.88% in 2018 and 2.90% 
in 2017. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations 
of FNCB. The Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Trust Securities is deferrable until a period of 
twenty consecutive quarters has elapsed. FNCB had the option to prepay the Trust Securities beginning December 15, 2011. 
FNCB has, under the terms of the Debentures and the related Indenture, as well as the other operative corporate documents, 
agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Trust’s obligations under the Debentures. FNCB has reflected this 
investment on a deconsolidated basis. As a result, the Debentures totaling $10.3 million, have been reflected in borrowed 
funds  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  financial  condition  at  December  31,  2018 and  2017 under  the  caption  “Junior 
Subordinated Debentures”. FNCB records interest expense on the Debentures in its consolidated statements of income. FNCB 
also  records  its  common  stock  investment  issued  by  First  National  Community  Statutory  Trust  I  in  other  assets  in  its 
consolidated statements of financial condition at December 31, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, accrued and 
unpaid interest associated with the Debentures amounted to $19 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively.  

On  September  1,  2009,  FNCB  offered  only  to  accredited  investors  up  to  $25.0  million  principal  amount  of  unsecured 
subordinated debentures due September 1, 2019 (the “Notes”). Prior to July 1, 2015, the Notes had a fixed interest rate of 9% 
per annum. Payments of interest are payable to registered holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) quarterly on the first of 
every third month, subject to the right of FNCB to defer such payment. On June 30, 2015, pursuant to approval from all of 
the Noteholders and the Reserve Bank, FNCB amended the original terms of the Notes to reduce the interest rate payable 
from  9.00%  to  4.50%  effective  July  1,  2015  and  to  accelerate  a  partial  repayment  of  principal  amount  under  the  Notes. 
Pursuant to the approved amendment, on June 30, 2015, FNCB repaid 44% of the original principal amount, or $11.0 million, 
of the Notes outstanding to the holders on June 30, 2015, with the remaining $14.0 million in principal to be repaid as follows: 
(a) 16% of the original principal amount, or $4.0 million, payable on September 1, 2017; (b) 20% of the original principal 
amounts, or $5.0 million, payable on September 1, 2018; and (c) the final 20% of the original principal amount, or $5.0 
million, payable on September 1, 2019, the maturity date of the Notes. On October 28, 2016, the Board of Directors of FNCB 
approved the acceleration of a $4.0 million partial repayment of principal on the Notes. The $4.0 million principal repayment, 
which was due and payable on September 1, 2017, was paid to Noteholders on December 1, 2016. On July 27, 2017, the 
Board of Directors of FNCB approved the acceleration of a $5.0 million partial repayment of principal on the Notes. The 
$5.0 million principal repayment, which was due and payable on September 1, 2018, was paid to Noteholders on September 
1, 2017. The principal balance outstanding for these Notes was $5.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The accrued 
and unpaid interest associated with the Notes amounted to $19 thousand at both December 31, 2018 and 2017.  Subsequent 
to December 31, 2018, on January 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of FNCB approved the acceleration of the final $5.0 
million repayment of principal on the Notes. The $5.0 million principal repayment, which was due and payable on September 
1, 2019, along with all outstanding accrued interest for the period December 1, 2018 through February 7, 2019, was paid to 
Noteholders on February 8, 2019.

Note 9. BENEFIT PLANS 

The Bank has a defined contribution profit sharing plan (“Profit Sharing Plan”) which includes the provision under section 
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“401(k)”) and covers all eligible employees. The Bank’s contribution to the plan is 
determined at management’s discretion at the end of each year and funded. The 401(k) feature of the plan permits employees 
to  make  voluntary  salary  deferrals,  either  pre-tax  or  Roth,  up  to  the  dollar  limit  prescribed  by  law.  FNCB  may  make 
discretionary matching contributions equal to a uniform percentage of employee salary deferrals. Discretionary matching 
contributions are determined each year by management and approved by the Board of Directors. There were no discretionary 
annual contributions made to the profit sharing plan in 2018 and 2017. Discretionary matching contributions under the 401(k) 
feature of the plan totaled $298 thousand in 2018 and $187 thousand in 2017.  

The Bank has an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering all eligible Bank officers and directors as 
defined by the plan. This plan permits eligible participants to elect to defer a portion of their compensation. Elective deferred 
compensation and accrued earnings, included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial 
condition, aggregated $3.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2017.  

The Bank has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for a select group of management or highly compensated 
employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of The Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act  of  1974.  The  general  provisions  of  the  SERP  provide  for  annual  year-end  contributions,  performance  contingent 
contributions and discretionary contributions. The SERP contributions are unfunded for Federal tax purposes and constitute 
an unsecured promise by the Bank to pay benefits in the future and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying 
consolidated statements of financial condition. Participants in the SERP have the status of general unsecured creditors of the 
Bank. SERP contributions totaled $108 thousand in 2018 and $172 thousand in 2017. The total liability associated with the 
SERP was $557 thousand at December 31, 2018 and $449 thousand at December 31, 2017. 

Note 10. INCOME TAXES 

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.R.1., an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and 
V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, originally introduced in Congress and informally known as 
the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” which among other things, reduced the maximum federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% 
to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018. In accordance with GAAP, the enactment of this new tax legislation required FNCB to 
revalue its deferred tax assets at the new corporate statutory rate of 21.0% as of December 31, 2017. The revaluation of 
FNCB’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, resulted in a reduction in its net deferred tax assets of $8.0 million 
in the fourth quarter of 2017 with a corresponding increase in income tax expense.

FNCB  has  approximately $30.0  million  in federal  net  operating  loss  carryovers,  which  expire  in  2035  if  not  used.  At 
December 31, 2017 FNCB had alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit carryovers of $2.9 million. Under the Tax Cuts and 
Jobs Act corporations are no longer subject to AMT effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and AMT 
credit carryovers from prior taxable years became refundable. Accordingly, FNCB reclassified AMT credit carryovers from 
deferred tax assets to prepaid federal income taxes at December 31, 2018.  

Management evaluates the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, in 
accordance with guidance set forth in ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” and applies the criteria in the guidance to determine 
whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized within its life cycle, 
based on the weight of available evidence. In evaluating available evidence, management considers, among other factors, 
historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously 
paid, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring 
unused,  tax  planning  strategies  and  timing  of  reversals  of  temporary  differences.  In  assessing  the  need  for  a  valuation 
allowance, management carefully weighs both positive and negative evidence currently available. The weight given to the 
potential  effect  of  positive  and  negative  evidence  must  be  commensurate  with  the  extent  to  which  it  can  be  objectively 
verified. If management determines based on available evidence, both positive and negative, that it is more likely than not 
that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods, a valuation allowance is calculated and 
recorded. These determinations are inherently subjective and depend upon management’s estimates and judgments used in 
their evaluation of both positive and negative evidence.  

Management  performed  an  evaluation  of  FNCB’s  deferred  tax  assets  at  December  31,  2018 and  2017 taking  into 
consideration all available positive and negative evidence at that time. Based on this evaluation, management believes that 
FNCB’s future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance for 
deferred tax assets was not required at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

Note 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS/SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

In conducting its business, FNCB has engaged in, and intends to continue to engage in, banking and financial transactions 
with directors, executive officers and their related parties. 

FNCB has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to directors, executive officers and their related parties. The 
following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of such outstanding loans, advances under lines of credit, net of 
any participations sold, as well as repayments during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

   For the Year Ended December 31,    

At  December  31,  2018,  there  were  no  loans  made  to  directors,  executive  officers  and  their  related  parties  that  were  not 
performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.  

On September 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of FNCB elected three new directors to the Board of Directors. The addition 
of  the  three directors  and  their  related parties  contributed $25.9  million of  the  $76.3  million  in  additions, new  loans  and 
advances during the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Deposits  from  directors,  executive  officers  and  their  related  parties  held  by  the  Bank  at  December  31,  2018 and 
2017 amounted to $115.5 million and $139.2 million, respectively. Interest paid on the deposits amounted to $348 thousand 
in 2018 and $298 thousand in 2017.  

In the course of its operations, FNCB acquires goods and services from, and transacts business with, various companies of 
related  parties,  which  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  employee  health  insurance,  fidelity  bond  and  errors  and  omissions 
insurance, legal services, and repair of repossessed automobiles for resale. FNCB recorded payments to related parties for 
goods and services of $2.5 million and $2.6 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Financial Instruments with off-balance sheet commitments 

FNCB 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 standby letters of credit that 
involve  varying  degrees  of  credit,  interest  rate  or  liquidity  risk  in  excess  of  the  amount  recognized  in  the  balance  sheet. 
FNCB’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to 
extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. 

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

15,121       

190,672  
15,994  

In order to provide for probable losses inherent in these instruments, FNCB recorded reserves for unfunded commitments of 
$255 thousand and $381 thousand at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were included in other liabilities on 
the consolidated balance sheets.  

Commitments  to  extend  credit  are  agreements  to  lend  to  customers  in  accordance  with  contractual  provisions.  These 
commitments usually are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total 
amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that commitments often expire 
without being drawn upon. 

Letters of credit and financial guarantees are agreements whereby FNCB guarantees the performance of a customer to a third 
party.  Collateral  may  be  required  to  support  letters  of  credit  in  accordance  with  management’s  evaluation  of  the 
creditworthiness of each customer. The credit exposure assumed in issuing letters of credit is essentially equal to that in other 
lending activities.

Federal Home Loan Bank — Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) Program 

Under a secondary market loan servicing program with the FHLB, FNCB, in exchange for a monthly fee, provides a credit 
enhancement guarantee to the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of a defined First Loss Account (“FLA”) balance, up to 
specified amounts.  At December 31, 2018, FNCB serviced payments on $15.9 million of first lien residential loan principal 
under these terms for the FHLB. At December 31, 2018, the maximum credit enhancement obligation for such guarantees by 
FNCB  would  be  approximately  $673  thousand  if  total  foreclosure  losses  on  the  entire  pool  of  loans  exceed  the  FLA  of 
approximately $57 thousand. During 2017, there was one loan that had been sold to the FHLB that FNCB was required to 
foreclose upon under the MPF program. Under the agreement, FNCB recognized a $55 thousand loss on the foreclosure and 
subsequent sale of the property, which is included in other losses in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended 
December 31, 2017. There was no reserve established for this guarantee at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Cash Concentrations: The Bank maintains cash balances at several correspondent banks. During 2018, FNCB engaged in a 
primary correspondent banking relationship with Compass Bank.  At December 31, 2018, FNCB had a balance of $2.7 million 
with Compass Bank. There were no due from bank accounts in excess of the $250 thousand limit covered by the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) at December 31, 2017. 

Loan Concentrations: FNCB attempts to limit its exposure to concentrations of credit risk by diversifying its loan portfolio 
and closely monitoring any concentrations of credit risk. The commercial real estate and construction, land acquisition and 
development portfolios comprise $283.6 million, or 34.0% of gross loans at December 31, 2018. Geographic concentrations 
exist because FNCB provides its services in its primary market area of Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley 
and conducts limited activities outside of that area. FNCB had loans and loan commitments secured by real estate outside of 
its primary market area of $17.0 million, or 2.0%, of gross loans at December 31, 2018. 

FNCB considers an industry concentration within the loan portfolio to exist if the aggregate loan balance outstanding for that 
industry  exceeds  25.0%  of  capital.  The  following  table  summarizes  the  concentrations  within  FNCB’s  loan  portfolio  by 
industry at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Litigation 

On  May  24,  2012,  a  putative  shareholder  filed  a  complaint  in  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  for  Lackawanna  County 
(“Shareholder  Derivative  Suit”)  against  certain  present  and  former  directors  and  officers  of  FNCB  (the  “Individual 
Defendants”) alleging, inter alia, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, and unjust enrichment. FNCB 
was named as a nominal defendant. On February 4, 2014, the Court issued a Final Order and Judgment for the matter granting 
approval  of  a  Stipulation  of  Settlement  (the  “Settlement”)  and  dismissing  all  claims  against  FNCB  and  the  Individual 
Defendants. As part of the Settlement, without admitting any fault, wrongdoing or liability, the Individual Defendants agreed 
to settle the derivative litigation for $5.0 million. The $5.0 million Settlement payment was made to FNCB on March 28, 
2014. The Individual Defendants reserved their rights to indemnification under FNCB’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, 
resolutions  adopted  by  the  Board,  the  Pennsylvania  Business  Corporation  Law  and  any  and  all  rights  they  have  against 
FNCB’s and the Bank’s insurance carriers. In addition, in conjunction with the Settlement, FNCB accrued $2.5 million related 
to fees and costs of the plaintiff’s attorneys, which was included in non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of 
income for the year ended December 31, 2013. On April 1, 2014, FNCB paid the $2.5 million related to fees and costs of the 
plaintiff’s attorneys and partial indemnification of the Individual Defendants in the amount of $2.5 million. Commencing on 
July 1, 2017, FNCB made partial indemnifications to the Individual Defendants through monthly principal payments, made 
on behalf of the Individual Defendants, of $25,000 plus accrued interest to First Northern Bank and Trust Co. On April 11, 
2018, FNCB indemnified the Individual Defendants by paying in full the $2.5 million, plus accrued interest to First Northern 
Bank & Trust Co.

On September 5, 2012, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (“F&D”) filed an action against FNCB and the Bank, as 
well as several current and former officers and directors of FNCB, in the United States District Court for the Middle District 
of Pennsylvania. F&D asserted a claim for the rescission of a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy and a bond that it had 
issued to FNCB. On November 9, 2012, FNCB and the Bank answered the claim and asserted counterclaims for the losses 
and expenses already incurred by FNCB and the Bank. FNCB and the other defendants defended the claims and opposed 
F&D’s requested relief by way of counterclaims. On December 21, 2018, FNCB, the Bank and F&D resolved the dispute by 
entering into a mutual release of all claims.  FNCB recognized a gain of $6.0 million after expenses in the fourth quarter of 
2018 in connection with this insurance recovery. 

On February 16, 2017, FNCB and the Bank entered into a Class Action Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement 
Agreement”) in the matters filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County to Steven Antonik, Individually, and 
as Administrator of the Estate of Linda Kluska, William R. Howells and Louise A. Howells, Summer Benjamin, and Joshua 
Silfee, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated vs. First National Community Bancorp, Inc. and First National 
Community Bank, Civil Action No. 2013-CV-4438 and Charles Saxe, III, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly 
situated vs. First National Community Bank No. 2013-CV-5071 (collectively, the “Actions”). By entering into this Settlement 
Agreement, the parties to the Actions have resolved the claims made in the complaints to their mutual satisfaction. FNCB 
has not admitted to the validity of any claims or allegations and denies any liability in the claims made and the Plaintiffs have 
not admitted that any claims or allegations lack merit or foundation. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties 
have agreed to the following: 1) FNCB is to pay the Plaintiffs’ class members the aggregate sum of Seven Hundred Fifty 
Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (an amount which FNCB recorded as a liability and corresponding expense in its 2015 operating 
results); 2) Plaintiffs shall release all claims against FNCB related to the Actions; 3) FNCB shall move to vacate or satisfy 
any judgments against any class members arising from the vehicle loans that are the subject of the Actions; and 4) FNCB 
shall waive the deficiency balance of each class member and remove the trade lines on each class members’ credit report 
associated with the subject vehicle loans that are at issue in the Actions for Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. The Settlement 
Agreement provides for an Incentive Award for the representative Plaintiffs and an award to Plaintiffs’ counsel of attorney’s 
fees and reimbursement of expenses in connection with their roles in these Actions, subject to Court approval. The Settlement 
Agreement was preliminarily approved by Court Order on February 16, 2017. On March 2, 2017, FNCB paid the Settlement 
Administrator  $750,000  pursuant  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Settlement  Agreement.  The  Settlement  Agreement 
received  final  Court  approval  on  May  31,  2017.  Additionally,  in  association  with  the  subject  vehicle  loans,  FNCB  has 
completed the removal of trade lines on each class members' credit report and satisfied judgments, where applicable, in favor 
of  class  members.  As  previously  mentioned  above  and  in  connection  with  the  primary  terms  of  the  tentative  settlement 
agreement entered by Order of Court on December 17, 2015, FNCB recorded a liability and corresponding expense in the 
amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand ($750,000), which was included in FNCB’s 2015 operating results. 

FNCB has been subject to tax audits, and is also a party to routine litigation involving various aspects of its business, such as 
employment practice claims, workers compensation claims, claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties 
in which FNCB holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues 
incident to its business, none of which has or is expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial 
condition, results of operations or liquidity of FNCB. 

Note 13. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS/SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

FNCB had an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), under which options were granted to key officers 
and other employees of FNCB. The aggregate number of shares authorized to be issued upon exercise of the options under 
the Stock Incentive Plan could not exceed 1,100,000 shares. Options and rights granted under the Stock Incentive Plan became 
exercisable six months after the date the options were awarded and expire ten years after the award date. Upon exercise, the 
shares  are  issued  from  FNCB’s  authorized  but  unissued  stock.  The  Stock  Incentive  Plan  expired  on  August  30,  2010. 
Accordingly, no further grants have been, or will be, made under the Stock Incentive Plan. No compensation expense related 
to  options  under  the  Stock  Incentive  Plan  was  required  to  be  recorded  in  each  of  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018 
and 2017.  Subsequent to December 31, 2018, on January 5, 2019, the remaining 19,200 stock options outstanding under the 
Stock Incentive Plan expired and were forfeited.

FNCB has a Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTIP”) for directors, executive officers and key employees. The 
LTIP authorizes up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock for issuance and provides the Board of Directors with the authority 
to offer several different types of long-term incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, 
restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares. The Board of Directors granted awards comprised solely of 
shares of restricted stock to executives and certain key employees under the terms of the LTIP of 57,829 shares in 2018 
and 54,549 shares in 2017. At December 31, 2018, there were 922,688 shares of common stock available for award under the 
LTIP. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, stock-based compensation expense, which is included in salaries 
and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income, totaled $279 thousand in 2018 and $279 thousand in 2017. 
Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was

Note 14.   REGULATORY MATTERS/SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

FNCB’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to FNCB. 
Bank regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agency. 
Cash dividends declared and paid by FNCB during 2018 and 2017 were $0.17 per share and $0.13 per share, respectively. 
On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the reinstatement of the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan 
(“DRP”) which became effective on June 1, 2016. Effective July 1, 2017, shares acquired under the DRP were purchased in 
open market transactions. Previously, FNCB issued shares under the DRP from authorized but unissued common shares. 
Shares of common stock issued under the DRP totaled 65,240 and 17,050 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 
respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, on January 30, 2019, FNCB declared a $0.05 per share dividend payable on 
March 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2019. 

On January 28, 2019, FNCB announced that it had commenced a public offering of its shares of common stock in a firm 
commitment underwritten offering. Subsequently, on February 8, 2019, FNCB announced the closing of the public offering 
of 3,285,550 shares of its common stock, which includes 428,550 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of 
the  option  to  purchase  additional  shares  granted  to  underwriters,  at  a  public  offering  price  of  $7.00  per  share,  less  an 
underwriting discount of $0.35 per share. FNCB received net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and offering 
expenses of $21.3 million. 

FNCB and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital  requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. 
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  adverse  effect  on  FNCB’s  financial  statements.  Under  capital 
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, FNCB and the Bank must meet specific 
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of FNCB's and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet 
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. FNCB's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are also 
subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the  regulators  about  components,  risk  weightings,  and  other  factors.  Management 
believes, as of December 31, 2018, that FNCB and the Bank meet all applicable capital adequacy requirements. 

Basel III Transitional rules became effective for FNCB on January 1, 2015 with all of the requirements being phased in over 
a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019.  The Regulatory Capital Rules include new risk-based capital 
and leverage ratios and refine the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios. The new 
minimum capital level requirements applicable to FNCB and the Bank under the Regulatory Capital Rules are: 

● 
● 
● 
● 

a total capital ratio of 8.00% (unchanged from previous rules); 
a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.00% (increased from 4.00%); 
a new common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.50%; and 
a Tier I capital to average assets (“Tier I leverage ratio”) of 4.00% for all institutions. 

FNCB and the Bank are required to maintain a "capital conservation buffer," composed entirely of common equity Tier I 
capital,  in  addition  to  minimum  risk-based  capital  ratios,  in  order  to  avoid  limitations  on  capital  distributions  (including 
dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers). The required capital conservation buffer 
was 1.875% for 2018 and 1.25% in 2017. The Regulatory Capital Rules also included revisions and clarifications consistent 
with Basel III regarding the various components of Tier I capital, including common equity, unrealized gains and losses, as 
well  as  certain  instruments  that  will  no  longer  qualify  as  Tier  I  capital,  some  of  which  will  be  phased  out  over  time. 
Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to common equity Tier I capital began on January 1, 2015, and will 
be phased-in over a four-year period (beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015, 60% on January 1, 2016 and an additional 20% 
per  year  thereafter).  On  November  21,  2017,  the  Federal  Reserve,  the  OCC  and  the  FDIC  approved  a  revision  to  the 
Regulatory Capital Rules to suspend the phase-in of certain deductions and other adjustments to common equity Tier I capital. 
The  updated  final  rule  applies  to  non-advanced  approaches  banking  organizations  and  is  effective  on  January  1,  2018. 
Management  believes FNCB  and  the  Bank  were  in  full  compliance  with  the  additional  capital  conservation  buffer 
requirement at December 31, 2018. 

Additionally, under the prompt corrective action requirements, which complement the capital conservation buffer, insured 
depository institutions are required to meet the following increased capital level requirements in order to qualify as “well 
capitalized”: 

● 
● 
● 
● 

a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00% (unchanged from current rules); 
a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 8.00% (increased from 6.00%); 
a new common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.50%; and 
a Tier I leverage ratio of 5.00%.

Note 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

In  determining  fair  value,  FNCB  uses  various  valuation  approaches,  including  market,  income  and  cost  approaches. 
Accounting standards establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs 
and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs 
are  inputs  that  market  participants  would  use  in  pricing  the  asset  or  liability,  which  are  developed  based  on  market  data 
obtained from sources independent of FNCB. Unobservable inputs reflect FNCB’s knowledge about the assumptions the 
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in 
the circumstances. 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). A financial asset or 
liability’s  level  within  the  fair  value  hierarchy  is  based  on  the  lowest  level  of  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 
measurement. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: 

   ●  Level 1 valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. 

   ●  Level 2 valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market 
prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques 
for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data; and 

   ●  Level 3 valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow models and similar 
techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect 
estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value. 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value of financial 
instruments not recorded at fair value, is set forth below. 

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities 

The  estimated  fair  values  for  FNCB’s  investments  in  obligations  of  U.S.  government  agencies,  obligations  of  state  and 
political subdivisions, government-sponsored agency CMOs and mortgage-backed securities, private collateralized mortgage 
obligations, asset-backed securities and negotiable certificates of deposit are obtained by FNCB from a nationally-recognized 
pricing service. This pricing service develops estimated fair values by analyzing like securities and applying available market 
information  through  processes  such  as  benchmark  curves,  benchmarking  of  like  securities,  sector  groupings  and  matrix 
pricing (Level 2 inputs), to prepare valuations. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to 
value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the 
securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may 
include, among other things, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, 
trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, and are 
based on  market  data  obtained from  sources  independent from  FNCB.  The Level 2  investments  in  FNCB’s  portfolio  are 
priced  using  those  inputs  that,  based  on  the  analysis  prepared by  the pricing service, reflect  the  assumptions  that market 
participants would use to price the assets. Management has determined that the Level 2 designation is appropriate for these 
securities because, as with most fixed-income securities, those in FNCB’s portfolio are not exchange-traded, and such non-
exchange-traded fixed income securities are typically priced by correlation to observed market data. FNCB has reviewed the 
pricing service’s methodology to confirm its understanding that such methodology results in a valuation based on quoted 
market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted markets for identical or similar instruments traded in 
markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which the significant assumptions can be corroborated 
by market data as appropriate to a Level 2 designation. 

For those securities for which the inputs used by an independent pricing service were derived from unobservable market 
information, FNCB evaluated the appropriateness and quality of each price.  Management reviewed the volume and level of 
activity  for  all  classes  of  securities  and  attempted  to  identify  transactions  which  may  not  be  orderly  or  reflective  of  a 
significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market 
participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value (fair values based on Level 
3 inputs).  If applicable, the adjustment to fair value was derived based on present value cash flow model projections obtained 
from third party providers using assumptions similar to those incorporated by market participants. 

107 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
At December 31, 2018, FNCB owned four corporate debt securities with an aggregate amortized cost and fair value of $5.0 
million and $4.9 million, respectively. The market for three of the four corporate debt securities securities at December 31, 
2018 was not active and markets for similar securities are also not active. FNCB obtained valuations for these securities from 
a  third-party  service  provider  that  prepared  the  valuations  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  approach.   Management  takes 
measures to validate the service provider’s analysis and is actively involved in the valuation process, including reviewing and 
verifying the assumptions used in the valuation calculations. Results of a discounted cash flow test are significantly affected 
by variables such as the estimate of the probability of default, estimates of future cash flows, discount rates, prepayment rates 
and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers.  FNCB considers these inputs to be unobservable Level 3 inputs because 
they are based on estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing this type of asset and developed 
based  on  the  best  information  available  in  the  circumstances  rather  than  on  observable  inputs.  As  it  relates  to  fair  value 
measurements, once each issuer is categorized and the forecasted default rates have been applied, the expected cash flows 
are modeled using the variables described above. Discount rates ranging from 6.87% to 7.37% were applied to the expected 
cash flows to estimate fair value. Management will continue to monitor the market for these securities to assess the market 
activity and the availability of observable inputs and will continue to apply these controls and procedures to the valuations 
received from its third-party service provider for the period it continues to use an outside valuation service. 

Equity Securities 

The estimated fair values of equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges 
(Level 1 inputs).

The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is determined through independent appraisals or other reasonable offers, 
which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. Management reduces the appraised value by the 
estimated costs to sell the property and may make adjustments to the appraised values as necessary to consider any declines 
in  real  estate  values  since  the  time  of  the  appraisal.  For  impaired  loans  that  are  not  collateral-dependent,  fair  value  is 
determined  using  the  discounted  cash  flow  method.  When  the  measure  of  the  impaired  loan  is  less  than  the  recorded 
investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance or is charged off. The amount shown is the 
balance of impaired loans, net of any charge-offs and the related allowance for loan losses. 

OREO properties are recorded at fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of FNCB’s acquisition of the property. 
Subsequent to acquisition of the property, the balance may be written down further. It is FNCB’s policy to obtain certified 
external  appraisals  of  real  estate  collateral  underlying  impaired  loans  and  OREO,  and  estimate  fair  value  using  those 
appraisals.  Other  valuation  sources  may  be  used,  including  broker  price  opinions,  letters  of  intent  and  executed  sale 
agreements.  

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of FNCB’s financial instruments at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 
FNCB discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statements of financial 
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined 
using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, management judgment is required to 
interpret data and develop fair value estimates. Accordingly, the estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts 
FNCB could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies 
may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

During  the  first  quarter  of  2018,  FNCB  adopted  ASU  2016-01  Financial  Instruments  -  Overall  (Subtopic  825-10): 
"Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", which among other things, requires a public 
business entity to base their fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the financial 
statements  on  the  exit  price  notion.   In  accordance  with  this  guidance,  FNCB  has  presented  the  exit  price  disclosure 
requirements  for  the  below  table  on  a  prospective  basis  at  December  31,  2018.   The  disclosure  at  December  31,  2017

Note 16. EARNINGS PER SHARE/SUBSEQUENT EVENT 

For FNCB, the numerator of both the basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock is net income available to common 
shareholders. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the denominator for basic earnings per 
common  share  is  increased  to  determine  the  denominator  used  for  diluted  earnings  per  common  share  by  the  effect  of 
potentially dilutive common share equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are outstanding 
stock options to purchase FNCB’s shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock. 

The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the years ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017:

For each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 common stock equivalents reflected in the table above were related 
entirely to the incremental shares of unvested restricted stock. Stock options of 19,200 shares for each of the years ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017 were excluded from common stock equivalents. The exercise prices of stock options exceeded 
the average market price of FNCB’s common stock during the periods presented; therefore, inclusion of these common stock 
equivalents would be anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per share of common stock calculation.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure 

None. 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 

FNCB’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the 
effectiveness of the design and operation of FNCB’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under 
Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2018.  

Based on that evaluation, FNCB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded FNCB’s disclosure 
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2018.  

There were no changes made to FNCB’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent 
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, FNCB’s internal control over 
financial reporting. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for FNCB 
Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  “Company”).  Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and is not intended to provide absolute 
assurance that a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements would be prevented or detected. 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records 
that  in  reasonable  detail  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  Company; 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are only 
being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition, use, or  disposition  of  the  Company’s 
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance 
that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system inherently has limitations and the benefits 
of controls must be weighed against their costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some 
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Therefore, no assessment of a 
cost-effective system of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if 
any, will be detected. 

As of December 31, 2018, management of the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included 
extensive documenting, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting. 

Based  on  this  evaluation  under  the  criteria  in  the  Framework,  management  concluded  that  the  Company’s  system  of 
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. 

Baker  Tilly  Virchow  Krause,  LLP,  the  Company’s  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  that  audited  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2018. That report is included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” 
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
