Dear Shareholders, Customers  
and Friends,

The economic disruption related 
to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 
persisted throughout 2021. We 
continued to navigate through a 
challenging interest rate environment 
as market interest rates remained 
at historic lows, as well as the 
oversupply of liquidity within the 
industry. Recently, the government 
stimulus, healthy consumer demand 
and supply-chain constraints have 
contributed to record price inflation, 
leading the Federal Reserve Bank to 
change its monetary policy stance 
from accommodative to tightening 
with its first increase in the federal 
funds target rate of 25 basis points 
in the first quarter of 2022, with 
additional tightening anticipated  
over the course of the year.

Moving ahead. Exceptional 2021 
financial performance.

Despite a challenging environment, 
FNCB adapted to changing market 
demands and posted a strong 
financial performance in 2021, as net 
income increased 39.3%, reaching 
$21.4 million, or $1.06 per basic and 
diluted share, in 2021, compared 
to net income of $15.3 million, or 
$0.76 per basic and diluted share, 
in 2020. Return on average assets 
and return on average shareholders’ 
equity equaled 1.36% and 13.46%, 
respectively in 2021, compared to 
1.13% and 10.66%, respectively in 
2020. 

Strong earning asset growth and our 
ongoing leadership in originating 
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) 
loans and assisting customers 
through the forgiveness process, 
as well as our ability to effectively 
manage funding costs contributed to 
the increase in net income. 

Fueled by earning asset growth 
and reduction in funding costs, 
net interest income increased $8.8 
million, or 21.9%, to $49.0 million 
in 2021 from $40.2 million in 2020. 
Average earning assets increased 
$226.2 million, or 18.5%, to $1.449 
billion in 2021 compared to $1.223 
billion in 2020, including a $127.4 
million, or 42.1%, increase in average 
investment securities and a $39.1 
million, or 4.3%, increase in average 
loans. Net interest income included 
the recognition of $4.8 million in net 
loan origination fees from PPP loans 
in 2021, an increase of $3.6 million 
compared to $1.2 million recognized 
in 2020. Additionally, we were able 
to reduce our cost of funds 39 basis 
points to 0.25% in 2021 from 0.64% in 
2020. These factors contributed to a 
10-basis point improvement in FNCB’s 
tax-equivalent net interest margin to 
3.45% in 2021 from 3.35% in 2020.

In 2020, we elevated our credit 
provisioning in response to economic 
disruption and uncertainty brought 
on by the pandemic. However, 
continued improvement in asset 
quality metrics allowed us to lower 
our credit provisioning in 2021. The 
provision for loan and lease losses 

was $166 thousand in 2021 compared 
to $1.9 million in 2020. 

Partially offsetting these positive 
factors was a reduction in non-
interest income and higher levels of 
non-interest expense. Non-interest 
income decreased $982 thousand, or 
10.6%, to $8.3 million in 2021 from 
$9.2 million in 2020. The year over 
year decrease in non-interest income 
largely reflected decreases in net 
gains on equity securities, net gains 
on the sales of available-for-sale debt 
securities and mortgage loans held for 
sale, partially offset by an increase in 
deposit service charges. Non-interest 
expense increased $2.2 million, 
or 7.4%, to $31.1 million in 2021 
from $28.9 million in 2020, caused 
primarily by higher salaries and 
employee benefits, data processing 
costs, regulatory assessments and 
bank shares tax, partially offset by 
decreases in occupancy, equipment 
and professional fee expenses. 
Overall, the Bank’s operating 
efficiency improved in 2021 as 
evidenced by a significant reduction 
in FNCB Bank’s efficiency ratio to 
53.63% in 2021 from 59.97% in 2020.

We continue to focus on providing 
an annual return to our shareholders 
that is meaningful and aligned with 
our peers. Total dividends paid to 
shareholders increased $0.05 per 
share, or 22.7%, to $0.27 per share 
in 2021 from $0.22 per share in 2020. 
The dividend payout ratio was 25.4% 
in 2021 and 29.0% in 2020. Total 
dividends declared and paid in 2021 

resulted in a dividend yield of 2.92% 
based on the closing stock price of 
$9.24 per share on December 31, 
2021, which appreciated $2.84 from 
$6.40 per share on December 31, 
2020. The appreciation, coupled with 
the 2021 dividends paid, equated to 
a one-year total return of 48.6%. We 
are pleased to say that on January 26, 
2021, the Board of Directors approved 
an increase in the first quarter 2022 
dividend of $0.015 per share, or 25.0%, 
to $0.075 per share from $0.06 per 
share for the same quarter of 2021.

Moving ahead. Strong balance  
sheet positioning.

Total assets increased $198.6 
million, or 13.6%, to $1.664 billion 
at December 31, 2021, from $1.465 
billion at December 31, 2020.  The 
strong balance sheet growth reflected 
substantial increases in available-for-
sale debt securities, and loans, net of 
net deferred loan costs and unearned 
income, which were funded by 
liquidity from unprecedented deposit 
growth. Total deposits increased 
$167.6 million, or 13.0%, to $1.455 
billion at December 31, 2021 from 
$1.287 billion at December 31, 2020. 
Interest-bearing deposits increased 
$119.0 million, or 11.7%, to $1.135 
billion at December 31, 2021 from 
$1.016 billion at December 31, 2020. 
Additionally, non-interest-bearing 
deposits increased $48.6 million, or 
17.9%, to $320.1 million at December 
31, 2021 from $271.5 million at 
December 31, 2020.  With a focus on 
improving interest income run rates, 

we redeployed the excess liquidity 
into high-quality earning assets. 
Available-for-sale debt securities 
increased $172.5 million, or 49.3%, to 
$522.6 million at December 31, 2021 
from $350.0 million at December 31, 
2020. Loans, net of unearned income 
and net deferred loan origination 
fees, grew $78.3 million, or 8.7%, to 
$979.4 million at December 31, 2021, 
from $901.1 million at December 31, 
2020. 

FNCB’s asset quality continued to 
improve throughout 2021, as total 
non-performing loans decreased 
$1.7 million to $3.9 million, or 0.39% 
of total loans, at December 31, 
2021 from $5.6 million, or 0.62% of 
total loans, at December 31, 2020. 
FNCB’s loan delinquency rate (total 
delinquent loans as a percentage of 
total loans) was 0.55% at December 
31, 2021 compared to 0.99% at 
the end of 2020. FNCB posted net 
recoveries for the second consecutive 
year. Net loans recovered were $300 
thousand, or 0.03% of total average 
loans, in 2021 and $1.1 million, or 
0.12% of total average loans, in 2020. 
FNCB’s excellent asset quality reflects 
continued discipline in our lending 
practices and our proactive attention 
with respect to credit management. 
The positive metrics allowed us to 
reduce our credit provisioning in 
2021. We recorded a provision for loan 
and lease losses of $166 thousand 
in 2021, a reduction of $1.8 million 
compared to $1.9 million in 2020. The 
allowance for loan and lease losses as 
a percentage of gross loans was 1.27% 
and 1.33% at December 31, 2021 and 
2020, respectively.

Total shareholders’ equity increased 
$6.6 million, or 4.2%, to $162.5 
million at December 31, 2021 from 
$155.9 million at December 31, 
2020. Contributing to the increase 
in capital was 2021 net income of 
$21.4 million partially offset by a $7.5 

million decrease in accumulated 
other comprehensive income related 
primarily to depreciation in the fair 
value of FNCB’s available-for-sale 
debt securities, net of deferred taxes 
and dividends declared and paid in 
2021 of $5.4 million and common 
share repurchases of $2.4 million. 
FNCB’s tangible book value per share 
improved $0.43, or 5.6%, to $8.13 
per share at December 31, 2021 from 
$7.70 per share at December 31, 2020. 
FNCB Bank’s total risk-based capital 
and Tier I leverage ratios were 14.64% 
and 8.92%, respectively, at December 
31, 2021 compared to 15.79% and 
9.57%, respectively, at December 31, 
2020.

FNCB’s Board of Directors authorized 
a stock repurchase program on 
January 26, 2022. The program, which 
commenced on March 4, 2022, 
provides for the repurchase of up to 
750,000 shares of FNCB’s
outstanding common stock. In 
2021, the Board of Directors had 
authorized a similar program under 
which 330,759 common shares 
were repurchased. The 2021 plan 
expired on December 31, 2021. 
Repurchase of shares under the 

programs are administered through 
an independent broker and may 
occur from time to time at prevailing 
market prices, through open market 
transactions depending upon market 
conditions. Additionally, repurchases 
are subject to SEC regulations as 
well as certain price, market volume 
and timing constraints specified 
in the trading plan. Management 
may discontinue purchases at any 
time that management determines 
additional repurchases are no 
longer warranted. The current stock 
repurchase program will expire on 
December 31, 2022.

Moving ahead. Delivering superior 
customer service.

Early in the year, Congress approved 
a new relief effort that included 
a second round of funding under 
the PPP as well as additional fiscal 
stimulus packages and emergency 
relief programs. The FNCB team once 
again answered the call by assisting 
our local business customers through 
the second round of funding that 
allowed them to continue operating, 
protect jobs and provide paychecks to 
employees. Under this second round 
of funding in 2021, FNCB originated 
679 loans that provided businesses 
with $76.3 million in additional 
PPP funding. Combined with the 
first-round funding in 2020, FNCB 
originated 1,681 PPP loans which 
totaled $194.9 million in funding. 
Throughout 2021, the FNCB team 
assisted customers through the 
forgiveness process by providing 
them with educational materials and 
a cloud-based, digital management 
tool where they were able to easily 
upload required documents. As 
part of the PPP loan process, FNCB 
received net loan origination fees 
totaling $7.0 million, which were 
deferred and recognized in interest 
income upon receipt of forgiveness. 
As mentioned above, FNCB 

recognized net loan origination fees 
from PPP loans of $4.8 million in 2021 
compared to $1.2 million in 2020. At 
December 31, 2021, there were $20.9 
million in PPP loans at outstanding, 
net of $1.0 million in unrecognized 
net loan origination fees. We 
anticipate receiving forgiveness 
for the outstanding PPP loans and 
recognizing the remaining fees in 
2022.

Customer banking preferences 
continue to evolve, as in-branch 
transactions declined dramatically 
during the pandemic. FNCB continues 
to focus and make additional 
investments in technology to 
provide our customers with access 
to a variety of digital-based delivery 
channels in addition to traditional 
brick-and-mortar branches. FNCB’s 
comprehensive suite of digital 
banking platforms include user-
friendly online and mobile banking 
platforms that allow customers to 
open accounts, apply for a mortgage, 
pay bills and transfer funds 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week from 
their computer or mobile device. 
Through our alliance with AllPoint, 
customers have access to a network 
of over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs 
worldwide. We provide customers 
with a variety of mobile wallet 
alternatives including Apply Pay®, 
Google Pay® and Samsung Pay® and 
access to Zelle®, a fast, secure and 
contact free way to send and receive 
money between trusted partners. 

We also provide customers with the 
ability to receive fraud alert messages 
and manage, where, when and how 
their debit card is used through 

CardValet® integrated in FNCB’s 
mobile banking app. Offering these 
safe and reliable technology-based 
alternatives provide customers 
greater convenience to conduct 
transactions anywhere, anytime, 
without visiting our offices. While 
convenience is necessary, security 
is of utmost importance. During 
the year, FNCB continued to make 
investments in our cybersecurity 
infrastructure to ensure customers 
have safe, secure and reliable access 
to their financial information via our 
digital-based platforms.

Moving ahead. Expanding our 
product offerings, leveraging 
new technologies and creating 
efficiencies.

In the second half of 2021, we began 
to position FNCB to drive long-
term value and create efficiencies 
through new product offerings, new 
technologies and new alliances.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, 
we launched a new equipment 
financing line of business that 
provides equipment financing 
solutions, including leasing 
alternatives, to business customers 
and municipalities. We hired a team 
of seasoned professionals in this line 
of business, which now operates as 
1st Equipment Finance and is based 
in the Bank’s branch office located in 
Exeter, Pennsylvania. We believe this 
new product line not only provides us 
with an avenue for organic growth, 
but also supplies our commercial 
clients with financing options that will 
allow them to grow in a competitive 
business environment. We are 
pleased to say that the buildout of 
this product offering is complete and 
is generating new originations in line 
with budget expectations.

We continue to focus efforts on 
developing and expanding our 

comprehensive digital strategy and 
leveraging technology to respond 
to evolving customer demands and 
create operational and delivery 
channel efficiencies. Specifically, in 
the latter part of 2021, we partnered 
with a leading third-party service 
provider for the origination and 
underwriting of residential mortgage 
loans through a customer-friendly, 
state-of-the-art digital platform. 
Through this alliance, we will leverage 
third-party expertise and industry-
leading technology to enhance our 
service level, allowing us to focus on 
managing the relationships with our 
customers. Full implementation of 
this new platform is expected in the 
first quarter of 2022.

In the second half of 2021, we also 
invested in a cloud-based enterprise 
dashboard and analytics software. 
This tool combines high-value, 
actionable data from our core 
operating systems into a user-friendly, 
dynamic and analytical dashboard 
to enhance management reporting, 
and provide insights that will drive 
profitability and productivity. We fully 
implemented and began using this 
platform bank-wide in the first quarter 
of 2022. 

Other initiatives on the horizon 
include enhancement to our existing 
e-banking platforms, integration 
of a new commercial lending 
origination platform and utilizing 
artificial intelligence and robotics to 
streamline process workflows.

We continually evaluate our branch 
network and delivery channels for 
opportunities to improve customer 
reach or consolidate underutilized 
locations. With customer banking 
preferences rapidly evolving to a 
digital-based approach, management 
decided to consolidate FNCB’s 
Dunmore-Wheeler community 
office into its state-of-the-art, 

recently constructed Main Office, 
located less than one mile away. 
We received regulatory approval 
for this consolidation, which was 
completed on February 18, 2022. The 
consolidation had minimal impact 
on customers and is expected to 
create efficiency and reduce annual 
operating expense run rates by 
approximately $230 thousand.

Adopt-a-Family is just one program 
under FNCB’s larger Community 
Caring initiative. As a true community 
bank, FNCB is making a difference in 
the communities we serve through 
volunteerism, donations and 
outreach programs. We are sincerely 
grateful for the commitment of the 
entire FNCB team in serving the needs 
of our communities.

Moving ahead. Broadening our 
community outreach.

Moving ahead. Together!

The many challenges presented 
over the course of 2021 brought 
clarity to what it truly means to 
be a community bank, and being 
there to provide stability, direction 
and assistance to our customers, 
neighbors and friends. We believe our 
many accomplishments in 2021 puts 
us in a strong position as we enter 
2022.  We stand ready to serve our 
customers and our entire FNCB team 
remains focused on our mission to 
make your banking experience simply 
better.  Let’s move ahead, together. 

In closing we would like to thank you 
for your continued trust and support. 
We are sincerely grateful for your 
commitment to FNCB Bancorp, Inc.

Sincerely,

Louis A. DeNaples
Chairman of the Board

Gerard A. Champi
President and Chief Executive Officer

Through FNCB Bank’s Charitable 
Foundation, established during the 
height of the pandemic in 2020, 
we provide financial support to 
make a meaningful impact in the 
communities we serve. Giving under 
the foundation focuses on supporting 
organizations that seek to provide 
educational opportunities, including 
scholarships, to low- to moderate-
income students, promote youth 
initiatives and programs, enhance the 
cultural or economic development 
within our market area, and improve 
the quality of life or meet a specific 
unmet need in the communities 
we serve. In 2021, FNCB provided 
Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) 
eligible scholarships totaling $150 
thousand and expanded our total 
community giving nearly 30%. 

With pandemic restrictions easing, 
FNCB resumed a number of their 
signature community events 
including our Adopt-a-Family 
program, a holiday gift-giving project. 
Adopt-A-Family matches local families 
in need from the Catherine McAuley 
Center and Children & Youth Services 
of Wayne County with those wishing 
to donate. In 2021, more than 100 gifts 
were donated to nine families. Since 
launching this program nine years 
ago, FNCB employees have adopted 
more than 100 families, helping to 
make a brighter Christmas for many 
in Northeastern, Pennsylvania.

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 (collectively, “FNCB”). These forward-looking

by third parties, which are included in the respective loan category. 

Residential Mortgage Loans and Home Equity Term Loans and Lines of Credit

value.  FNCB  also  offers  a  proprietary  “WOW”  mortgage,  a  first-lien,  fixed-rate  mortgage  product  with  maturity  terms 
ranging from 7.5 to 19.5 years. At December 31, 2021, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, including home equity term 
loans and HELOCs totaled $234.1 million, or 23.9%, of the total loan portfolio. Except for the WOW mortgage, 1-4 family 
mortgage loans are originated generally for sale in the secondary market. However, FNCB may hold in portfolio 1-4 family 
residential mortgage loans as deemed necessary according to current asset/liability management strategies. During the year 
ended  December  31,  2021,  the  Bank  sold  $9.4  million  of  1-4  family  mortgages.  FNCB  retains  servicing  rights  on  these 
mortgages.

Commercial and Industrial Loans 

Generally, FNCB offers commercial loans to sole proprietors and businesses located in its primary market area. In addition, 
FNCB purchases pools of secured and unsecured loans. 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, 2021, 
FNCB’s  commercial  and  industrial  loans  totaled  $193.1  million,  or  19.7%,  of  the  total  loan  portfolio.  Also  included  in 
commercial and industrial loans are loans originated under various programs that were part of the governmental response to 
the  COVID-19  pandemic.  FNCB  participated  in  the  Paycheck  Protection  Program  ("PPP")  promulgated  under  the 
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). PPP loans outstanding included in commercial and 
industrial loans were $21.9 million at December 31, 2021.  

In the fourth quarter of 2021, FNCB launched a new equipment financing line of business that operates as 1st Equipment 
Finance. Based in FNCB's community office located in Exeter, Pennsylvania, 1st Equipment Finance provides both direct 
and  indirect  equipment  financing  solutions,  including  leasing  alternatives,  for  business  and  municipal  customers located

totaled $7.9 million and are included in commercial and industrial loans.

and  enhance  net  interest  income.  Purchase  loans  include pooled commercial  equipment  loans, unsecured  commercial and 
secured and unsecured consumer individual loans and loan pools. The pools have relatively short average lives and provide 
steady cash flows. Commercial equipment loans are secured by UCCs and titles, secured consumer loans are collateralized 
by chattel paper, while credit enhancement features including reserve funds provide credit protection for the consumer and 
commercial unsecured pools. FNCB has reviewed individual loan files, if feasible, or reviewed random samples of loan files 
and credit metrics to ensure underwriting was aligned with FNCB's internal underwriting standards. FNCB does not provide 
servicing of purchased loans. 

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, "Loans" to the consolidated financial statements 
included  in  Item  8,  "Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data,"  to this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  additional 
information regarding FNCB's loan portfolio and lending policies. 

Wealth Management 

FNCB  offers  customers  wealth  management  services  through  a  revenue  share  agreement  with  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. FNCB receives a percentage of the commission revenue generated from these transactions. 

Deposit Activities 

In general, deposits, borrowings and loan and investment 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 Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of 

5 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
Pittsburgh  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. 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 are 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 
Insurance Act. The Bank is subject primarily to the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and, as a state-chartered 
financial  institution,  to  the  Pennsylvania  Banking  Code  of  1965.  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 
incidental 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 

6 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
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 affiliates, 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  periodic  reporting  requirements  and  anti-fraud  regulations of  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and, in connection with 
the offer and sale of securities, including FNCB's securities, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

FNCB’s shares of common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "FNCB." Accordingly, FNCB is 
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.  

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 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, involve illegal funds, are designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or have 
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, 

7 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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. 

Financial institutions are subject to extensive and detailed capital requirements, which generally follow a framework of rules 
adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision commonly referred to as 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 provides for a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements for each 
of the CET I, tier I capital, and total capital ratios. The buffer must consist entirely of CET I capital. As a result, if a banking 
organization does not have a CET I, Tier I capital, and total capital ratios of at least 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, its 
ability to make or commit to discretionary dividends and discretionary bonus payments to "executive officers" or engage in 
share  repurchases  or  redemptions  generally  will  be  restricted  in  accordance  with  a  pre-determined  "maximum  payout 
ratio."  Under the maximum payout ratio formula, a banking organization with a capital conservation buffer of less than 2.5% 
of risk-weighted assets would become subject to increasingly restrictive limitations on covered distributions (as a percentage 
of eligible retained income) as the capital conservation buffer decreases. 

Basel III provides for new deductions from and adjustments to CET I. These include, for example, under current rules, 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 
25.00% of CET I. 

Basel III also 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. 

During  2018,  the  FRB  raised  the  threshold  of  its  "Small  Bank  Holding  Company"  exemption  to  the  application  of 
consolidated capital requirements for qualifying small bank holding companies from $1 billion to $3 billion of consolidated 
assets. Consequently, qualifying bank holding companies having less than $3 billion of consolidated assets are not subject to 
the consolidated capital requirements unless otherwise directed by the FRB. 

Under  the  Economic  Growth,  Regulatory  Relief,  and  Consumer  Protection  Act  enacted  in  May  2018,  federal  banking 
agencies adopted the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) framework available to depository institutions having less 
than  $10  billion  in  total  assets  and  meeting  certain  other  qualifying  criteria.  The  CBLR  rules  provide  that  qualifying 
community  banking  organizations  that  adopt  the  CBLR  framework  and  that  maintain  a  CBLR  in  excess  of  9%  will  be 
considered to have met the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under the banking agencies’ 
capital rules and the capital ratio requirements necessary to be considered “well capitalized.” FNCB has not elected to use 
the CBLR framework at this time. 

Prompt Corrective Action. Under Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"), each federal banking agency is 
required to implement a system of prompt corrective action for an insured institution which it regulates. The federal banking 
agencies have promulgated substantially similar regulations, which integrate Basel III capital requirements, to implement the 
system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA.

At December 31, 2021, the Bank was “well capitalized” under the applicable requirements with a CET I capital and Tier I 
capital to risk-weighted assets ratios (for the Bank only) of 13.46%, a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 14.64% 
and a leverage ratio of 8.92%. Similarly, at December 31, 2020, the  Bank exceeded capital requirements for an institution to 
be considered "well capitalized" with CET I capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratios of 14.54%, a total capital 
to risk-weighted assets ratio of 15.79% and a leverage ratio of 9.57%. 

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;

● 

created 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; 

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

includes additional corporate governance and executive compensation requirements on companies subject to the 
Exchange Act; 

●  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; 
created the Financial Stability Oversight Council with authority to identify institutions and practices that might pose 
a systemic risk; 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 and Consumer Lending Regulation. 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 Practices 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. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the 
origination of residential mortgages including, in certain circumstances, a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. 
In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act allows certain 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. 

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. Under the FDIC's risk-based assessment system, deposit insurance assessments are based on 
each insured institution's total assets less tangible equity, thereby basing deposit insurance assessments on an institution’s 
total liabilities, not only insured deposits. A bank’s assessment is calculated by multiplying its individual assessment rate by 
its assessment base (average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity), determined quarterly. Banks with assets 
less than $10 billion, such as the Bank, are assigned an individual rate based on a formula using financial data and the bank’s 
CAMELS ratings. 

At December 31, 2021, the Bank was considered in 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. 

Dividend and Share Repurchase 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,  or  repurchase  shares  from  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, or the repurchase of shares of its common stock, is at the 
discretion of its board of directors, and any decision to declare a dividend, or repurchase shares, 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.

FNCB's  employees  support  its vision  to  be a  leader  in  the  community  with  a  commitment  to  financial  excellence  for 
customers and shareholders and deliver its mission to make your banking experience simply better. With this in mind, FNCB 
recognizes  that  the  success  of  our  organization  is  highly  correlated  to the  effectiveness  of  the  FNCB team. In  order  to 
attract, motivate and retain high-quality staff, the Bank must have a competitive, broad-based compensation plan. FNCB 
focuses on ensuring top talent is compensated appropriately and entry-level starting salaries are competitive and provide an 
opportunity for advancement.  

As FNCB’s leadership culture and business model evolves, FNCB's policies, practices and programs must also evolve and 
support  and  reinforce  our  desired  culture  and  business  needs.  The  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of 
Directors evaluates and modifies policies, practices and programs on an ongoing basis to ensure compensation plans are 
competitive and do not encourage inappropriate risk taking. Market competitive and risk appropriate incentive plans have 
been  fully  implemented  for  management,  commercial  lending,  branch  banking,  specialty  sales  functions  and  all  staff 
positions.  FNCB  also  has  a  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan designed  to  align  shareholder  goals  with  employee  goals  and  to 
encourage retention of key officers.

Risks Related to FNCB’s Business 

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, 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 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 

11 

  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 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  in which FNCB  operates 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 its 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. 

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, 2021, approximately 41.5% 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 $3.9 million, or 0.39% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2021, and 
$5.6 million, or 0.62% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2020. Specifically, commercial real estate loans that were 
non-performing totaled $2.5 million, or 0.25%, of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2021, and $3.2 million, or 0.36%, of 
total gross loans, as of December 31, 2020. There were no construction, land acquisition and development loans that were 
non-performing at December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 

12 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
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,  2021,  $641.8  million,  or  65.4%,  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,  $41.6  million,  or  4.2%,  were  construction,  land  acquisition  and 
development  loans.  Construction,  land  acquisition  and  development  loans  have  the  highest  risk  of  uncollectability.  An 
additional  $193.1  million,  or  19.7%,  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 
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 $71.4 million  as  of 
December  31, 2021.  At December 31, 2021,  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. See Note 11, “Related Party Transactions” of the notes to consolidated financial statements 
included  in  Item  8,  "Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data" and  Item  13,  “Certain  Relationships  and  Related 
Transactions,  and  Director  Independence” to  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  more  information  regarding  loans  to 
officers and directors and/or their related parties 

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 

13 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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. 

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 and lease losses may not reflect accurate loan impairments. Inaccurate valuation of OREO or 
inaccurate provisioning for loan and lease losses could have a material adverse effect on FNCB’s business, financial condition 
and results of operations. 

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, 2021, 
the ALLL totaled $12.4 million, representing 1.27% of loans, net of unearned income and net deferred loan origination fees. 

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  other  than  temporary 
impairment. 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 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’s risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risks or losses.  

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 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, 2021 was characterized by maturities 
or repricing of assets and liabilities that were well matched over the next six to nine months, moving to an asset sensitivity 
position  by  the  end  of  the  first  year  and  in  subsequent  years  of  the  model.  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. 

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 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 mortgage-backed securities portfolio. 

15 

  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
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. 

Uncertainty relating to the expected phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may adversely affect 
FNCB. 

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and the administrator of LIBOR have announced that the publication of 
the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be published or cease to be representative after June 30, 
2023.  The  publication  of  all  other  LIBOR  settings  ceased  to  be  published  as  of  December  31,  2021.  Given  consumer 
protection, litigation, and reputation risks, the bank regulatory agencies have indicated that entering into new contracts that 
use LIBOR as a reference rate after December 31, 2021, would create safety and soundness risks and that they will examine 
bank practices accordingly. Therefore, the agencies encouraged banks to cease entering into new contracts that use LIBOR 
as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. FNCB has discontinued originating LIBOR-
based loans effective December 31, 2021, and will preferably negotiate loans using the Term Secured Overnight Financing 
Rate ("Term SOFR") going forward.  As of December 31, 2021, FNCB had approximately $83.9 million of loans and $26.5 
million in investments, as well as certain derivative contracts, borrowings and other financial instruments that have attributes 
that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. 

There continues to be substantial uncertainty as to the ultimate effects of the LIBOR transition, including with respect to the 
acceptance  and  use  of   Term  SOFR  and  other  benchmark  rates,  such  as  AMERIBOR,  a  benchmark  developed  by  the 
American Financial Exchange and BSBY, a benchmark developed by Bloomberg Index Services, among others. Since Term 
SOFR and other benchmark rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from 
those referencing LIBOR, which may lead to increased volatility as compared to LIBOR. The transition has impacted our 
market  risk  profiles  and  required  changes  to  our  risk  and  pricing  models,  valuation  tools,  product  design  and  hedging 
strategies. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this transition process with customers could adversely impact FNCB's 
reputation. Although FNCB is currently unable to assess what the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR will be, 
failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on FNCB's internal systems and processes, 
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. Refer to the section entitled “Business – Competition” included in Item 1, 
"Business" to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for an additional discussion of FNCB's competitive environment. 

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. 

16 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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, 2021,  FNCB  had $1.455 billion  in  deposits.  FNCB’s 
deposits are subject to potentially dramatic fluctuations in availability or price due to certain factors outside of its control, 
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 and would be unable to repurchase its shares, 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 FHLB 
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.  

FNCB held approximately $1.9 million in capital stock of the FHLB as of December 31, 2021. 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. 

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. 

17 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 
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-attack or security breach 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 

18 

  
  
  
   
  
  
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. 

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. 

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 

19 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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  environmental,  social  and  governance  ("ESG")  related  issues, 
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 
and ESG risks, could also give rise to reputation risk that could negatively impact business prospects. These issues include, 
among others, 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. 
Refer to Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for an additional discussion of FNCB's current 
material legal matters. 

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, 
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 

20 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
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. 

The  COVID-19  pandemic  is  adversely  affecting,  and  will  likely  continue  to  adversely  affect,  our  business,  financial 
condition, liquidity, and results of operations.  

Although  U.S.  and  global  economies  have  begun  to  recover  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic  as  many  health  and  safety 
restrictions have been lifted and vaccine distribution has increased, certain adverse consequences of the pandemic continue 
to impact the macroeconomic environment and may persist for some time, including labor shortages and disruptions of global 
supply chains. The growth in economic activity and demand for goods and services, alongside labor shortages and supply 
chain complications, has also contributed to rising inflationary pressures. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will 
impact FNCB's business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations will depend on future developments, which 
are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the rate and distribution and administration of vaccines globally, the 
severity  and  duration  of  any  resurgence  of  COVID-19  variants  either  locally,  nationally  or  globally,  the  continued 
effectiveness  of  FNCB's business  continuity  plan,  the  direct  and  indirect  impact  of  the  pandemic  on  FNCB's  customers, 
counterparties and service providers, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the 
pandemic. 

Governmental  authorities  have  taken  significant  measures  to  provide  economic  assistance  to  individual  households  and 
businesses, stabilize the markets, and support economic growth. These measures may not be sufficient to fully mitigate the 
negative  impact  of  the  pandemic. Additionally,  some  measures,  such  as  a  suspension  of  consumer  and  commercial  loan 
payments,  may  have  a  negative  impact  on  our  business,  financial  condition,  liquidity,  and  results  of  operations. We  also 
expect that the temporary reduction of interest rates to near zero will, over the course of 2022, be reversed, with the Federal 
Reserve  now  signaling  its  concerns  with  respect  to  inflation  and  announcing  that  it  will  begin  to  taper  its  purchases  of 
mortgages and other bonds.  

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  resulted  in  heightened  operational  risks.  A  significant  portion  of FNCB's  staff  has 
been working  remotely,  and  increased  levels  of  remote  access  create  additional  cybersecurity  risk  and  opportunities  for 
cybercriminals  to  exploit  vulnerabilities.  Cybercriminals  have  increased  their  attempts  to  compromise  business  emails, 
including an increase in phishing attempts, and fraudulent vendors or other parties may view the pandemic as an opportunity 
to  prey  upon  consumers  and  businesses  during  this  time. The  increase  in  online  and  remote  banking  activities  may  also 
increase the risk of fraud in certain instances. 

The length of the pandemic and the effectiveness of the measures being put in place to address it are unknown. Until the 
effects  of  the  pandemic  subside,  there  is  a  risk  of  reduced  revenues  in  our  businesses  and  increased  customer 
defaults. Furthermore, the U.S. economy experienced a temporary recession as a result of the pandemic, and our business 
could be materially and adversely affected by another recession should the effects of the pandemic continue for a period of 
time or worsen. To the extent the pandemic adversely affects FNCB's business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of 
operations, it also has the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

21 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
FNCB has also participated as a lender in certain government programs designed to provide economic relief in response to 
the pandemic, including the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and the Federal Reserve's Main Street Lending 
Program. As a result of participating in these programs, FNCB faces increased risks, including credit, fraud risk and litigation. 
Additionally, while these loans to small business clients benefit from a government guaranty, many of these businesses may 
face  difficulties  even  after  being  granted  such  a  loan.  Many  of  theses  businesses  have  loans  other  than  PPP  loans  with 
FNCB  A decline in the financial condition of these businesses 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. 

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  FRB,  the  FDIC  and  the  PADOBS,  periodically  examine  FNCB’s  business,  including  its  compliance  with  laws  and 
regulations. If, as a result of an examination, the Federal Reserve, FDIC or PADOBS 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, including the repurchase of common stock, 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, memorandum 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, 

22 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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. Laws and 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. Refer to the section entitled “Business – 
The Bank – Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” included in Item 1, "Business" to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
a more detailed description of new or changed legislation or regulation and regulatory initiatives. 

The Biden Administration may seek to implement a regulatory reform agenda, which could include a heightened focus on 
the regulation of loan portfolios and credit concentrations to borrowers impacted by climate change, heightened scrutiny on 
Bank  Secrecy  Act  and  anti-money  laundering  requirements,  topics  related  to  social  equity,  executive  compensation,  and 
increased capital and liquidity, as well as limits on share buybacks and dividends. In addition, mergers and acquisitions could 
be dampened by increased antitrust scrutiny. Reform proposals are also expected for the short-term wholesale markets. At 
this time it cannot be determined which, if any of these policies, would be implemented and what their impact would be. 
However,  FNCB  believes  such  uncertainty  may  reduce  business  activities,  which  ordinarily  would  be  beneficial  to  its 
business. 

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. Refer to the description in 
Item 1, "Business" to this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Capital Adequacy Requirements” for a more 
detailed description of the final rules. 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 
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. 

23 

   
  
  
  
  
  
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. 

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, or repurchase shares of its common stock, 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 consequences 
to FNCB's  reputation.  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. 

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 

24 

  
  
  
  
  
   
  
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. 

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 or repurchases of FNCB’s equity or equity-related securities; 

● 
●  proposed or adopted regulatory changes or developments; 

25 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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; 

● 
● 
● 
●  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 

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. 

The  rights  of  holders  of FNCB’s common  stock  to  receive  liquidation  payments  and  dividend  payments  are  junior 
to FNCB’s existing  and  future 
the  future, 
and FNCB’s ability to declare dividends on, or repurchase shares of, the common stock may become limited. 

to  any  senior  securities FNCB may 

indebtedness  and 

issue 

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 dividend, or repurchase shares of its common stock, 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. In addition, FNCB's board of directors may only repurchase shares out of funds 
legally available for those repurchases. Although FNCB has historically paid cash dividends on its common stock, and has 
recently announced a share repurchase program to repurchase shares of its common stock, FNCB is not required to do so. 
FNCB  cannot  assure  shareholders  that  it  will  continue  paying  dividends,  or  repurchase  shares,  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, or repurchase shares, 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 

26 

  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any subsequent report filed by FNCB. 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 or have their shares repurchased by FNCB. 

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

The principal source of funds from which FNCB pays cash dividends, and repurchase shares, 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, or repurchase shares if, after paying the dividend, or repurchasing such shares, 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, pay dividends on, or repurchase shares of, 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 

27 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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  if  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,  which  may strain  FNCB’s  internal 
resources, and may 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. 

28 

  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
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 SEC. 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 include the calculation of the allowance for loan and leases 
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  2023.  The change  in  this  calculation 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. 

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. 

● 

● 

29 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 located at 102 E. Drinker Street, Dunmore, Pennsylvania, which 
now also houses the Bank’s Commercial Lending and Retail Banking Units. The Bank's main office is located at 100 S. 
Blakely Street, Dunmore, Pennsylvania, 18512. At December 31, 2021, FNCB also operated sixteen additional community 
banking  offices  located  throughout  Lackawanna,  Luzerne  and  Wayne  counties,  two  administrative  offices  and  another 
lending center located in Dunmore, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Eight 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 workspace 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.  FNCB  and  the  Bank  have  an  ongoing 
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 during the years ended December 31, 
2021 and 2020 include: 

   ●  On January 18, 2021, with appropriate Board Approval, FNCB closed a limited purpose office (LPO), that was 

located at 3500 Winchester Road, Allentown, Pennsylvania.  

   ●  Office space at FNCB's community office, located in Exeter, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania was renovated to house 

the new 1st Equipment Finance team. 

   ●  On December 16, 2021, FNCB received approval from its primary regulator to consolidate the Bank's Wheeler 
Avenue Community Office into its Main Office, effective February 18, 2022. Both offices are located in Dunmore, 
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The consolidation is consistent with the Bank's strategic goals and will not have 
any significant disruptions to customer service in the area. 

See Note 5, "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 

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 

FNCB’s common shares are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FNCB."  

On January 27, 2021, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 975,000 shares 
of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in 
accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The repurchase program commenced on 
February  3,  2021 and  expired  on  December  31,  2021.  On  January  26,  2022,  FNCB's  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the 
repurchase of an additional 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock. Repurchases under both programs are 
administered through an independent broker and are subjected to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume 
and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. In 2021, FNCB repurchased 330,759 shares at a weighted-average price 
per share of $7.21, or $2.4 million in aggregate. Repurchases are funded from available working capital and the repurchased 
shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. 

Holders 

As of February 28, 2022, there were approximately 1,632 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 $5.4 million, or $0.27 per share, in 2021 and $4.4 million, or $0.22 per share, in 2020. The 
dividend payout ratio was 25.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 29.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020. 
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 26, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.075 per share for the first quarter of 2022. The dividend 
is payable on March 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2022.

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, 
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and Item 1A, "Risk Factors" 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  16 full-service  branch  offices  operated  by  FNCB  Bank,  FNCB's  wholly-owned 
subsidiary, within its primary market area, Northeastern 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 in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K. 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.  

33 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
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. 

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  troubled  debt 
restructurings  (“TDRs”)  are  classified  as  impaired.  Based  on  its  evaluations,  management  may  establish  an  unallocated 
component that is used to cover any inherent losses that exist as of the evaluation date, but which may not have been identified 
under the methodology. 

See  Note  2,  “Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies”  and  Note  4,  “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  3,  “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, 2021 and 2020 within the consolidated statements of income.  

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 3, “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 and management's evaluation for OTTI. 

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  estimated  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-

34 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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. 

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, 2021 and 2020 concluded that no valuation allowance was necessary for net deferred tax assets. 

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, 2021 and 2020, management determined that FNCB did not have any uncertain tax positions or tax 
strategies and that no liability was required to be recorded.  

See  Note  2,  “Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies”  and  Note  10,  “Income  Taxes”  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 accounting for income taxes. 

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance and Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods 

For information regarding new authoritative accounting guidance adopted by FNCB during the year ended December 31, 
2021 and accounting guidance that FNCB will adopt in future periods, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 

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

Results of Operations 

FNCB  exhibited  strong  earnings  performance  in  2021,  consistent  with  our  mission  to  provide  a  simply  better  banking 
experience to our customers, while adapting to changing market demands.  Net income in 2021 amounted to $21.4 million, 
or $1.06 per diluted common share, an increase of $6.0 million, or 39.3%, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.76 per diluted 
common share, in 2020. The increase in 2021 net income compared to 2020 was primarily attributable to increases in net 
interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses. These positive factors were partially offset by a 
decrease  in  non-interest  income  and  an  increase  in  non-interest expense.  Net  interest  income  was  $49.0  million  in  2021, 
an increase of $8.8 million, or 21.9%, from $40.2 million in 2020, which resulted from a $5.4 million, or 11.6%, increase in 
total interest income and a $3.4 million, or 56.1% reduction in total interest expense. The increase in interest income was 
driven by strong earning asset growth, while the reduction in interest expense was largely due to a significant reduction in 
funding costs. Interest income in 2021 was also favorably impacted by a $3.6 million increase in net loan origination fees 
associated  with  PPP  loans  that  were  recognized  upon  forgiveness. The  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  decreased 
$1.8 million to $166 thousand in 2021, from $1.9 million in 2020. The elevated amount of credit provisioning in 2020 was 
in response to uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Non-interest income decreased $982 thousand, or 
10.6%, to $8.3 million in 2021 from $9.2 million in 2020. The year over year decrease in non-interest income largely reflected 
decreases in net gains on equity securities, net gains on the sales of available-for-sale debt securities and mortgage loans held 
for  sale,  partially  offset  by  increases in  deposit  service  charges,  higher  income  from  bank-owned  life  insurance and 
loan referral  fees/interest  rate  swap  revenue. Non-interest  expense  increased $2.2  million,  or  7.4%,  to  $31.1  million  in 
2021 from $28.9 million in 2020, which primarily reflected higher salaries and employee benefits, data processing costs, 
regulatory  assessments and  bank  shares  tax,  partially  offset  by  decreases in  occupancy,  equipment  and  professional  fee 
expenses. Income tax expense increased $1.4 million, or 44.4%, to $4.6 million in 2021 as compared to $3.2 million in 2020.    

Return  on  average  assets  and  return  on  average  shareholders’  equity  equaled 1.36%  and  13.46%,  respectively,  in  2021, 
compared to 1.13% and 10.66%, respectively, in 2020.  FNCB paid dividends to holders of common stock of $0.27 per share 
in 2021, an increase of $0.05 per share, or 22.7%, compared to $0.22 per share in 2020. Total dividends declared and paid in 
2021 equated to a dividend yield of approximately 2.92% based on the closing stock price of $9.24 per share on December 
31, 2021. The dividend payout ratio was 25.4% in 2021 compared to 29.0% in 2020. 

Balance Sheet Profile 

Total assets increased $198.6 million, or 13.6%, to $1.664 billion at December 31, 2021 from $1.465 billion at December 31, 
2020. The balance sheet expansion primarily reflected substantial increases in available-for-sale debt securities, and loans 
and leases, net of deferred origination fees and unearned income. Available-for-sale debt securities increased $172.5 million, 
or 49.3%, to $522.6 million at December 31, 2021 from $350.0 million at December 31, 2020. Loans and leases, net of net 
deferred  origination  fees and  unearned  income, increased  $78.3  million,  or  8.7%,  to  $979.4  million  at  December  31, 
2021 from $901.1 million at December 31, 2020 Excluding activity related to the origination and forgiveness of PPP loans, 
loans and leases, net of net deferred origination fees, increased $133.4 million, or 16.2%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased 
$56.8 million, or 36.4%, to $99.0 million at December 31, 2021 from $155.8 million at December 31, 2020, as excess liquidity 
was redeployed to the loan and investment portfolios.  Total deposits increased $167.6 million, or 13.0%, to $1.455 billion 
at December 31, 2021 from $1.287 billion at December 31, 2020. Borrowed funds increased $20.0 million, or 194%, to $30.3 
million at December 31, 2021, compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in borrowed funds reflected 
the transition of $20.0 million that was part of a cash flow hedge from brokered time deposits to advances through the Federal 
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh. 

Total shareholders’ equity increased $6.6 million, or 4.2%, to $162.5 million at December 31, 2021 from $155.9 million at 
December 31, 2020. Contributing to the increase in capital was net income in 2021 of $21.4 million partially offset by a $7.5 
million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related primarily to depreciation in the fair value of available-
for-sale debt securities, net of deferred taxes, and year-to-date dividends declared and paid of $5.4 million. The repurchase 
of 330,759 common shares under the board-authorized 2021 stock repurchase program also reduced shareholder's equity by 
$2.4 million. At December 31, 2021, FNCB Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio and the Tier 1 leverage ratio were 14.64% 
and 8.92%, respectively, which 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. FNCB's tangible book value improved 
$0.43 per share, or 5.6%, to $8.13 per share at December 31, 2021 from $7.70 per share at December 31, 2020.

Management’s Focus in 2021 

COVID-19 Considerations 

Management  continued  to  navigate  and  respond  to  the  many  challenges  brought  on  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  with 
prioritizing the health and safety of FNCB's customers and employees at the forefront. Throughout 2021, FNCB operated 
under  its  pandemic  preparedness  plan and  continued  to  manage  the  many  challenges  brought  on by  the  COVID-
19 pandemic.  FNCB continues to follow CDC and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania guidance and take additional precautions 
to ensure the safety of its customers and its employees. As of the date of this report, FNCB branches are open and are fully 
operational with lobbies open for consumer traffic.Widespread availability and distribution of vaccines, including boosters, 
has  led  to  improved  economic  growth  across  the  United  States  and  more  specifically  within  our  market  area.  However, 
lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of the Delta and Omicron variants, and the potential 
for additional variants, continue to adversely impact employment markets and supply-chains affecting national, regional and 
local economies, which has resulted in pronounced price inflation in 2021 and continuing into 2022. 

Additionally, FNCB focused on originating PPP loans under the second round of funding, in addition to assisting customers 
through the loan forgiveness process. In 2020, FNCB implemented a digital, cloud-based management tool to facilitate the 
entire PPP loan origination and forgiveness process, providing customers with direct access to educational materials and the 
ability to easily upload required documents. FNCB's response to the second round of funding resulted in the origination of 
679 PPP loans totaling $76.3 million in 2021. FNCB received $3.6 million in related loan origination fees associated with 
this second round of originations, which was deferred and is being recognized upon forgiveness or repayment. During the 
year  ended  December  31,  2021,  FNCB  received  forgiveness  for  PPP  loans  totaling  $130.3  million  and  recognized  $4.8 
million in net PPP loans origination fees, which is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of income. At 
December 31, 2021, FNCB had PPP loans still outstanding of $20.9 million, net of $1.0 million in net deferred origination 
fees, compared to $76.0 million, net of $2.6 million in net deferred origination fees at December 31, 2020. 

Regarding our banking operations, commercial activity within our market area, while improving , remains volatile and has 
not  returned  to  pre-pandemic  levels.  Economic  restrictions  adopted  in  2020,  caused  many  borrowers  to  request  payment 
deferrals and other payment accommodations. As of December 31, 2021, all borrowers that previously received payment 
accommodations  have  resumed  making  contractual  principal  and  interest  payments.  While  positive  developments  have 
occurred,  management  is  keenly  aware  that  uncertainty  regarding  the  pandemic  may  still  exist.  Additionally,  FNCB's 
commercial customer base includes businesses in industries such as automobile, hotel/lodging, restaurants, hospitality, and 
retail and commercial real estate, all of which has been significantly and adversely impacted in 2021 and 2020 by economic 
restrictions  and  employment  and  supply-chain  constraints  related  to  the COVID-19 pandemic. Management  continues  to 
closely monitor customers within these industries as the economic recovery continues to unfold. 

Management expects the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain provisions of legislative and regulatory relief efforts, to 
continue to impact FNCB's operations. At this time, management cannot determine or estimate the full magnitude of the 
impact and cannot provide any assurances as to the effect on FNCB's results of operations or financial position. The FNCB 
team will continue to work diligently to address any issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic in a safe and sound manner 
as  they  arise.  Management  believes  that  FNCB's  balance  sheet  and  capital  position  are  strong  and  will  allow  FNCB  to 
withstand any further challenges that may be presented. 

General Banking Operations 

Outside of navigating the challenges of the pandemic, during 2021, management focused several key strategic initiatives 
including: enhancing future net interest income run rates through the redeployment of excess liquidity into the investment 
and loan portfolios and effectively managing funding costs; improving the customer experience by further expanding and 
enhancing FNCB's digital and traditional product and service offerings; continuing to create efficiency within FNCB's branch 
network  and  delivery  channels;  and  investing in  strategic  business  alliances  and  opportunities  to  advance financial 
performance over the long-term.  

In the fourth quarter of 2021, management expanded FNCB's commercial credit product offerings to include commercial 
equipment financing, through direct finance leases, tax-free municipal leases and simple interest loans. FNCB hired a team 
of professionals highly-experienced with this type of financing to launch this new product line, which are doing business 
under the name 1st Equipment Finance and operating out of FNCB's community office located in Exeter, Luzerne County. 
Pennsylvania. The new product line officially launched on November 1, 2022. Originations for the remainder of the year 
were  in  line  with  budget  expectations. As  of  December  31,  2021  gross  loans  and  municipal  leases  originated  under  this 
initiative were $9.8 million. FNCB expects to originate approximately $50.0 million annually under this product line.  

37 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
Management regularly evaluates FNCB's branch network and delivery channels for opportunities to improve customer reach 
or  consolidate  underutilized  locations.  With  customer  banking  preferences  rapidly  evolving  to  a  digital-based  approach, 
management decided to consolidate FNCB's Dunmore-Wheeler community office in its state-of-the-art, recently constructed 
Main Office, which were located within a mile of each other. On December 16, 2021, FNCB received regulatory approval 
for the consolidation. The consolidation, which was completed on February 18, 2022, had minimal impact to customers and 
is expected to reduce operating expense run rates going forward by approximately $230 thousand annually.  

Focus for 2022 

Looking ahead to 2022, FNCB will focus on expanding its comprehensive digital strategy to respond to evolving customer 
demands and create operational and delivery channel efficiencies. Specific initiatives include enhancement to the existing 
online banking platforms, integration of a new commercial lending origination platform and utilizing artificial intelligence 
and  robotics  to  streamline  workflows. Additional  areas  of  focus  for  2022 include: outsourcing  the  origination  and 
underwriting of residential mortgage loans through a third party to create efficiencies and improve customer service; building 
and  strengthening our  core  customer  base including  increasing existing  customer  wallet  share;  and  continuing to  assist 
business  customers  through  the  PPP  loan  forgiveness  process  as  well  as  seeking  opportunities  to  provide  for  the  future 
banking needs of these customers. In 2022, FNCB expects to benefit from the recognition of approximately $1.0 million in 
remaining net loan origination fees from the outstanding PPP loans. 

Furthermore, in response to a recent increase in inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee ('FOMC") has indicated a 
potential  tightening  of  monetary  policy,  including  several  increases  in  the  federal  funds  target  rate  in  2022.  With  the 
anticipated increase in market interest rates, management will focus on balance sheet management, controlling funding costs 
and continuing to evaluate opportunities to enhance net interest income and non-interest income run rates going forward. 

Stock Repurchase Program/Subsequent Event 

On January 26, 2022, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 750,000 shares 
of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market commencing no earlier than March 4, 2022 and 
expiring December 31, 2022 pursuant to a trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In 2021, the Board of Directors had authorized a similar program under which 330,759 
common  shares  were  repurchased.  The  2021  plan  expired  on  December  31,  2021. The  repurchase  of  shares under the 
programs are administered through an independent broker. Repurchases may occur from time to time at prevailing market 
prices, through open market transactions depending upon market conditions, and are subject to SEC regulations as well as 
certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. Under the program, the purchases will be 
funded  from  working  capital  presently  available  to  FNCB,  and  the  repurchased  shares  will  be  returned  to  the  status  of 
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. There is not a guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be 
repurchased by FNCB, and FNCB may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional repurchases 
are no longer warranted. As of December 31, 2021, FNCB had approximately 20.0 million shares outstanding. 

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 2021, 2020 and 2019.  

In 2020, in response to economic fallout from the global pandemic, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) reduced 
the federal funds target rate a total of 150 basis points in two emergency actions: a 50-basis point decrease on March 3, 2020 
followed by another 100 basis point decrease on March 16, 2020. The federal funds target rate remained at 0.00% to 0.25% 
from this point through the remainder of 2020 and 2021. These actions resulted in a corresponding decrease in the national 
prime rate to 3.25% at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Despite the decreases, FNCB experienced an increase in 
yields on taxable loans throughout 2021, compared to 2020. Origination and funding of low-yielding PPP loans with a rate 
of 1.0%, were offset by the recognition of net origination fees associated with a portion of these loans that were forgiven by 
the SBA. The Bank remained competitive in deposit rate offerings, parallel to market conditions and a surplus of liquidity 
within the industry. As a result, FNCB experienced a decrease in funding costs across interest-bearing deposits.

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $8.9 million, or 21.8%, to $49.9 million in 2021 compared to $41.0 million in 
2020. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was due to an increase in tax-equivalent interest income due primarily 
to higher earning asset volumes coupled with a decrease in interest expense due primarily to a reduction in funding costs. 
Additionally, net interest income was favorably impacted by an increase in net loan origination fees recognized on forgiven 
PPP loans of $3.6 million to $4.8 million in 2021 compared to $1.2 million in 2020. 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. FNCB's tax-equivalent 
net interest margin improved 10 basis points to 3.45% in 2021 compared to 3.35% in 2020. 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, increased 17 basis points to 3.38% in 2021 compared to 3.21% in 2020.  

Tax-equivalent interest income increased $5.5 million, or 11.6%, to $52.6 million in 2021 from $47.1 million in 2020, which 
reflected higher volumes of average earning assets and higher loan yields, partially offset by a decrease in investment yields. 
Average earning assets increased $226.2 million, or 18.5%, to $1.449 billion in 2021 from $1.223 billion in 2020, resulting 
in a corresponding increase to tax-equivalent interest income of $6.1 million. Specifically, average loans increased $39.1 
million, or 4.3%, to $950.4 million in 2021 from $911.4 million in 2020, which reflected strong organic loan demand and the 
purchase of loan pools from third party originators. Investment securities averaged $429.6 million in 2021, an increase of 
$127.4 million, or 42.1%, compared to $302.2 million in 2020. FNCB's tax-equivalent yield on loans increased 18 basis 
points to 4.36% in 2021 compared to 4.18% in 2020, resulting in a corresponding increase in tax-equivalent interest income 
of $1.7 million. The impact on changes in loan volumes and rates largely reflected the origination of PPP loans. PPP loans, 
which  carry  an  interest  rate  of  1.00%,  averaged  $76.4  million  in  2021.  Including  amortization  of  net  origination  fees 
associated with PPP loans of $4.8 million, the yield on PPP loans was 7.18% in 2021, compared to 2.61% in 2020. Partially 
counteracting these positive factors, was a decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on investment securities which decreased 41 
basis points to 2.59% in 2021 from 3.00% in 2020 and caused a corresponding decrease to tax-equivalent interest income of 
$2.1 million. The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-bearing deposits decreased 17 basis points to 0.13% in 2021 from 
0.30% in 2020, resulting in a $219 thousand decrease in tax equivalent interest income, which was more than entirely offset 
by the $59.7 million, or 649.0%, increase in volume to $68.9 million in 2021 from $9.2 million in 2020.  

The low interest rate environment and continued oversupply of deposits in the market resulted in a further reduction in the 
cost of funds. As a result, interest expense decreased $3.5 million, or 56.1%, to $2.7 million in 2021 from $6.2 million in 
2020. Specifically, rates paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 36 basis points to 0.24% in 2021 from 0.59% in 2020, 
resulting in a corresponding decrease to interest expense of $3.3 million. The decrease in interest expense due to changes in 
deposit rates was concentrated in rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits. The rate paid on interest-
bearing demand deposits, decreased 32 basis points to 0.16% in 2021 as compared to 0.48% in 2020. In addition, the rate 
paid on time deposits decreased 55 basis points to 0.66% in 2021, compared to 1.22% in 2020. The reduction in rates paid 
on interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits resulted in corresponding reductions to interest expense due to changes 
in  rates  of  $2.3  million  and $1.0  million,  respectively.  The  rate  paid  on  savings  deposits  decreased  only  3  basis 
points to 0.07% in 2021 compared to 0.10% in 2020 and had minimal impact on interest expense.  Also contributing to the 
decrease to interest expense was a $39.1 million, or 76.2%, decrease in the average balance of other borrowed funds to $12.2 
million in 2021 from $51.3 million in 2020, which led to a corresponding decrease in interest expense of $623 thousand. 
Partially offsetting this decrease, was a 14-basis point increase in the rate paid on borrowed funds to 1.61% in 2021 from 
1.47% in 2020, which resulted in a corresponding increase in interest expense of $64 thousand. While FNCB experienced 
significant deposit growth, changes in average volumes of interest-bearing deposits resulted in only a negligible increase to 
interest expense, as much of the growth was concentrated in low-costing interest-bearing demand deposits. Additionally, 
FNCB continued to experience deposit migration as higher-costing time deposits migrated to non-maturity deposits at the 
end of their term. Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $157.6 million, or 17.3%, to $1.066 billion in 2021 from 
$908.5 million in 2020, which resulted in a $409 thousand corresponding increase in interest expense. The average balance 
of time deposits decreased $18.9 million, or 9.7%, to $176.2 million in 2021 from $195.1 million in 2020, which resulted in 
a corresponding decrease to interest expense of $212 thousand that was more than entirely offset by an increase to interest 
expense of $602 thousand due to a $153.3 million, or 25.1%, increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits to $764.8 
million in 2021 from $611.5 million in 2020. Additionally, FNCB experienced strong demand for its non-interest-bearing 
deposit products as average non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $73.2 million, or 30.2%, to $315.2 million in 
2021 from $242.0 million in 2020.

Non-accrual loans 

The  interest  income  that  would  have  been  earned  on  non-accrual  and  restructured  loans,  had  these loans  performed  in 
accordance with their original terms approximated to $215 thousand and $353 thousand for the years ended December 31, 
2021  and  2020,  respectively. Additionally,  interest  income  recognized  on  impaired  loans  based  on  payments  received 
approximated to $305 thousand and $351 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

The following table presents the components of net interest income for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 
2019:

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.   

The following table summarizes the effect that changes in volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the 
interest rates earned and paid on these assets and liabilities have on net interest income. The net change or mix component 
attributable  to the  combined impact  of  rate and volume  changes  has  been  allocated proportionately  to  the  change  due  to 
volume and the change due to rate.

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 $166 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of 
$1.8 million,  or  91.5%, compared  to  $1.9  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020. The  elevated  amount  credit 
provisioning in 2020 was primarily related to the economic disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 
as  management  took  into  consideration  the  potential  adverse  impact  that  the  COVID-19  pandemic had  on  economic 
conditions, at the time, in its application of FNCB's methodology on the allowance for loan and lease losses. Specifically, 
management tried to address this adverse impact by adjusting the qualitative factor associated with changes in national, local 
and business economic conditions and developments. In addition, management increased the unallocated portion of the ALLL 
to a maximum of 10.0% of the total allowance. Both actions resulted in higher credit provisioning during the year ended 
December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, non-interest income decreased $1.0 million to $8.3 million compared to $9.3 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 10.6% decrease in non-interest income primarily reflected decreases in net gains 
on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities, net gains on equity securities, net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held 
for sale, and loan referral fees, partially offset by increases in deposit services charges and a settlement received on a bank-
owned life insurance policy.  Net gains on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities decreased to $213 thousand in 2021, 
compared to $1.5 million in 2020, while net gains on equity securities that decreased $470 thousand, to $701 thousand in 
2021, from $1.2 million in 2020. Net gains on equity securities in 2020 included a $1.1 thousand gain recognized on FNCB's 
investment  in  the  common  stock  of  a  privately  held  bank  holding  company  as  part  of  the  completion  of  a  merger  and 
acquisition. Also contributing to the lower level of non-interest income were decreases in the net gains realized on the sale 
of mortgage loans held for sale. As part of an asset/liability management initiative to enhance future interest income run rates, 
management elected to hold higher-quality saleable mortgage loans in the loan portfolio. This initiative contributed to a $301 
thousand, or 46.1%, decrease in net gains on the sale of mortgages held for sale to $352 thousand in 2021, compared to 
$653 thousand in 2020. Loan referral fees decreased $318 thousand, or 81.5%, to $72 thousand in 2021 from $390 thousand 
in 2020. Loan referral fees include fees received from third-party counterparties related to various commercial loan interest 
rate  swap  transactions  and  fees  received  for  the  referral  of  FHA  residential  mortgage  loans  to  a  third-party  broker.  The 
decrease  in  these  fees  reflected  a  reduction  in  the  number  and  volume  of  such  transactions  in  2021  as  compared  to 
2020. Partially offsetting the decreases to non-interest income was a $625 thousand, or 19.2%, increase in deposit service 
charges, resulting primarily from an increase in debit card usage. FNCB also received a $426 thousand settlement from bank-
owned life insurance death benefit, that was recognized in 2021 and recorded in other non-interest income.

Non-interest  expense  totaled  $31.1 million  in  2021,  an  increase  of  $2.2 million,  or  7.5%,  from  $28.9 million  in  2020. 
The increase  resulted  primarily  from  increases  in  salaries  and  employee  benefits,  data  processing  expenses,  regulatory 
assessments and bank shares tax. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in occupancy costs, equipment expenses 
and professional fee expenses. 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.5 million, or 9.5%, to $16.7 million in 2021 from $15.2 million in 2020. The 
increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to higher full-time salaries, payroll taxes and benefits associated 
with staff additions, including the onboarding of the 1st Equipment Financing team of professionals. Also factoring into the 
increase  in  salaries  and  employee  benefits  were increases  in  employment  retirement  plan  contributions  and  incentive 
pay.  Data processing expenses increased $756 thousand, or 25.8%, to $3.7 million in 2021, compared to $2.9 million in 
2020, resulting from additional costs associated with a remote work environment, enhancements made to FNCB's digital 
banking  services,  including cybersecurity  protection,  and  higher  software  costs.  Regulatory  assessments  increased  $222 
thousand, or 57.4%, to $609 thousand in 2021 from $387 thousand in 2020, which reflected the utilization of the remaining 
FDIC small bank assessment credit in 2020. Bank shares tax also increased in 2021, to $975 thousand, up $189 thousand, or 
24.1%, from $786 thousand recorded at December 31, 2020, due to an increase in capital at the Bank level. 

These increases were slightly offset by the decreases in professional fees and equipment expense. Professional fees decreased 
$325  thousand,  or  32.5%,  to  $674  thousand  in  2021 from  $999  thousand  in  2020. Equipment  expenses  decreased  $139 
thousand, or 9.4%, to $1.3 million in 2021, compared to $1.5 million in 2020. The reduction in professional fees in 2021 was 
largely due to the expiration of a revenue-share agreement with a third-party consultant, while the decrease in equipment 
expenses was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation related to office and computer equipment. 

Other operating expenses of $4.3 million in 2021 included $300 thousand in losses associated with the transfer of two bank-
owned properties  to  other  real  estate  owned.  As part  of management's ongoing  initiative  to optimize  its branch network, 
on December 16, 2021, FNCB received regulatory approval to consolidate a community office located in the Borough of 
Dunmore, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania with its main office located in the same Borough. The consolidation is expected 
to be completed in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to generate annual operating cost savings of approximately $230 
thousand.  Additionally,  with  the  continuing  evolution  of  digital  banking  and  declining  utilization  of  brick-and-mortar 
branches, management entered into a sales agreement to sell land located in Lackawanna County that FNCB was holding for 
future branch expansion. 

Provision for Income Taxes 

FNCB recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million in 2021, an increase of $1.4 million, or 44.4%, compared to $3.2 million 
in 2020. The increase in income tax expense was due to higher taxable income in 2021 as compared to 2020. 

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, 2021 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, 2021 or 2020.

FINANCIAL CONDITION 

Total  assets  were  $1.664  billion  at  December  31,  2021,  an  increase  of $198.6 million,  or  13.6%, from  $1.465  billion  at 
December 31, 2020. The increase in total assets primarily reflected substantial increases in available-for-sale debt securities, 
and loans  and  leases,  net  of  deferred  origination  fees  and  unearned  income.  Available-for-sale  debt  securities  increased 
$172.5 million, or 49.3%, to $522.6 million at December 31, 2021 from $350.0 million at December 31, 2020. Loans and 
leases,  net  of  net  deferred  origination fees  and  unearned  income, increased  $78.3  million,  or  8.7%,  to  $979.4  million  at 
December 31, 2021 from $901.1 million at December 31, 2020. Excluding activity related to the origination and forgiveness 
of PPP loans, loans and leases, net of  net deferred origination fees, increased $133.4 million, or 16.2%. The increases in the 
investment and loan portfolios were funded primarily by deposit growth, as total deposits increased $167.6 million, or 13.0%, 
to $1.455 billion at December 31, 2021 from $1.287 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in deposits was primarily 
attributable  to  increases  in  both  interest-bearing  and  non-interest-bearing  deposits. Total  borrowed  funds  increased  $20.0 
million, or 194.0%, to $30.3 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2020. Cash and cash 
equivalents decreased $56.8 million, or 36.4%, to $99.0 million at December 31, 2021 from $155.8 million at December 31, 
2020,  as  excess  liquidity  was  redeployed  to  the  loan  and  investment  portfolios.  FNCB  had  $20.0  million  in borrowings 
through the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh outstanding at December 31, 2021.  

Total shareholders’ equity increased $6.6 million, or 4.2%, to $162.5 million at December 31, 2021 from $155.9 million at 
December 31, 2020. Contributing to the increase in capital was net income in 2021 of $21.4 million partially offset by a $7.5 
million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related primarily to depreciation in the fair value of available-
for-sale debt securities, net of deferred taxes, and year-to-date dividends declared and paid of $5.4 million. The repurchase 
of 330,759 common shares under the board-authorized 2021 stock repurchase program also reduced shareholder's equity by 
$2.4 million. FNCB's tangible book value was $8.13 per share at December 31, 2021, an increase of $0.43 per share, or 5.6%, 
from $7.70 per share at December 31, 2020. 

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 available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at 
the time of purchase based on management's intent. 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, while held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021, the investment portfolio was comprised principally of available-for-sale debt securities including, 
fixed-rate, taxable and tax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions and fixed-rate and floating-rate securities 
issued  by  U.S.  government  or  U.S.  government-sponsored  agencies,  which  include  mortgage-backed  securities  and 
residential and commercial collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). FNCB also holds investments, to a lesser extent, 
in private CMO's, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. Additionally, FNCB holds 
equity investments in the common and preferred stock of certain publicly-traded bank holding companies. Except for U.S. 
government and government-sponsored agencies, there were no securities of any individual issuer that exceeded 10.0% of 
shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2021.  

The  investment  portfolio  is  predominantly fixed  rate  in nature. As  such, 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.  U.S. Treasury rates fell significantly in the first quarter of 2020 in 
response to the outbreak of COVID-19, declaration of a national emergency and economic shutdown in March 2020. U.S. 
Treasury rates fluctuated slightly but hovered near historic lows for the remainder of 2020. In 2021, longer-term U.S. Treasury 
rates gradually increased over the course of the year, however short-term rates remained at historic lows throughout most of 
2021, before increasing considerably in the fourth quarter due to talk of potential tightening of monetary policy by the FOMC 
in early 2022. The 10-year Treasury rate, which was 0.93% at December 31, 2020, increased 59 basis points to 1.52% at 
December 31, 2021, while the 2-year Treasury rate, which was 0.13% at December 31, 2020, increased 15 basis points 0.28% 
at  September  30,  2022  before  jumping  another  45  basis  point to  0.73%  at  December  31,  2021.  Additionally,  the  spread 
between  the  2-year  and  10-year  treasury,  which  was  80  basis  points  at  December  31,  2020, fluctuated  throughout  2021 

44 

  
 
  
  
   
  
and widened  to  158  basis  points  at  March  31,  2021  then  gradually  narrowed  to  79  basis  points  at  December  31,  2021, 
indicating flattening of the yield curve. Generally, a security's value reacts inversely with changes in interest rates. Due to 
the increase in rates comparing December 31, 2021 and 2020, FNCB experienced significant depreciation in the fair value of 
its  investment portfolio.  FNCB  reported  a  net  unrealized  holding gain on  its  investment  portfolio  of  $6.1  million, net  of 
income taxes of $1.6 million at December 31, 2021, compared to a $14.0 million net unrealized holding gain, net of income 
taxes of $3.7 million, at December 31, 2020. Any further increase in interest rates could result in further depreciation in the 
fair value of FNCB’s securities portfolio and capital position.

Management monitors the investment portfolio regularly and adjusts the investment strategy to reflect changes in liquidity 
needs,  asset/liability  strategy  and  tax-planning  requirements.  The  composition  of  FNCB's  investment  portfolio  shifted  in 
2020, reflecting the change in its income tax position, as the majority of available NOL carryforwards were consumed in 
2020,  this  resulted  in FNCB  increasing its  holdings  of  tax-free  investments  in  2020  and  2021. 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%.

Semiannually, management engages a third-party consultant to review the municipal portfolio to determine if there is any 
undue credit risk within the portfolio. As part of the independent review, each security is compared to their Portfolio Credit 
Benchmark to identify which securities may contain more than a minimal risk of payment default.  As of December 31, 2021, 
the third-party report concluded that each security held within the portfolio met or exceeded the benchmark and that none of 
the securities required further review. The next third-party review is scheduled for June 30, 2022.  Management also monitors 
municipal securities monthly using a third-party surveillance report that indicates changes in issuer status, credit downgrades, 
rating changes and other pertinent events.

FNCB sold available-for-sale securities in 2021 with an aggregate amortized cost of $2.8 million and a weighted-average 
yield of 2.78%. Gross proceeds received on the sales totaled $3.0 million, with net gains of $0.2 million realized upon the 
sales and included in non-interest income. Given the economic climate during 2021, characterized by historically low interest 
rates and high liquidity due to the pandemic, FNCB's investment strategy included a focus on yield maintenance and utilizing 
excess liquidity to purchase investments within the Bank's risk tolerance in order to enhance interest income streams. FNCB 
purchased 137 securities with an aggregate cost of $224.0 million and a weighted-average yield of 1.63% during the year 
ended December 31, 2021. Securities purchased were diversified across all major sectors, including $79.2 million in CMOs 
of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, $36.8 in U.S. Treasury securities, $40.3 million in private CMOs, $27.3 million in

Loans and Leases 

Total  loans  and  leases,  gross  increased  by  $78.1 million,  or  8.6%,  to  $981.4 million  at  December  31,  2021 from  $903.3 
million at December 31, 2020. The growth in the loan and lease portfolio primarily reflected increases in residential and 
commercial real estate loans, and loans to state and political subdivisions. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions 
in commercial and industrial loans, construction, land acquisition and development loans and consumer loans.  With respect 
to  commercial  and  industrial  loans,  on  January  19,  2021,  the  SBA  fully  reopened  the  loan  portal  and  began  accepting 
applications for a second round of PPP loans through May 31, 2021 when the application period ended and the portal closed. 
During the first half of 2021, FNCB originated and received funding for 679 PPP loans totaling $76.3 million. FNCB also 
continued to assist PPP customers in applying for forgiveness. At December 31, 2021, PPP loans outstanding were $21.9 
million, a decrease of $54.3 million, compared to $78.6 million at December 31, 2020. In 2021, FNCB received forgiveness 
on PPP loans of $132.9 million and expects to receive forgiveness for the remaining PPP loans in early 2022.  In addition to 
PPP loan  activity,  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021,  FNCB  expanded  its  commercial  credit  product  offerings  to  include 
commercial equipment financing, including simple interest loans and direct finance and municipal leases. The majority of 
equipment  financing  originations  under  this  product  line is  expected  to  come  through  indirect,  third-party  dealers. As  of 
December 31, 2021, simple interest loans and municipal leases originated under this initiative were $7.9 million and $2.4 
million, respectively.

To assist in deploying excess liquidity, enhance interest income and further diversify the loan portfolio, FNCB purchased 
individual loans and loan pools originated by third-party originators, including $14.3 million in commercial equipment loans, 
$1.8 million in unsecured commercial loans, and $7.4 million in unsecured personal loans. The pools have relatively short 
average lives to provide cash flow. Commercial equipment loans are secured by UCCs and titles, while credit enhancement 
features  including  reserve  funds  provide  credit  protection  for  the  personal  and  commercial  unsecured  pools.  FNCB  has 
reviewed individual loan files, if feasible, or reviewed a random sample of loan files and credit metrics to ensure underwriting 
was aligned with FNCB's internal underwriting standards.  

includes  commercial  and 

Historically,  commercial  lending  activities  have  represented  a  significant  portion  of  FNCB’s  loan  portfolio.  Commercial 
lending 
including  commercial  equipment  financing  and  purchased 
loans, commercial real estate loans, and construction, land acquisition and development loans, and represented 61.2% and 
63.3% of total loans at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease in commercial lending was 
largely  due  to  the  decreases  in  commercial  and  industrial  loans,  specifically  PPP  loans,  due  to  loan  forgiveness, and 
construction, land acquisition and development loans. Excluding PPP loans, commercial lending represented 59.0% of total 
loans at December 31, 2021 compared to 54.6% at December 31, 2020. 

industrial 

loans, 

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,  and  residential  real  estate 
loans increased by $111.8 million, or 21.1%, to $641.8 million at December 31, 2021 from $530.0 million at December 31, 
2020.  The  increase  was  concentrated  in  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  loans.  Real  estate  secured  loans 
represents 65.4% and 58.7% at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  

Commercial real estate loans, which include long-term commercial mortgage financing and are primarily secured by first or 
second lien mortgages, increased $92.1 million, or 33.6%, to $366.0 million at December 31, 2021, from $273.9 million at 
December 31, 2020.  While, commercial and industrial loans decreased $45.3 million, or 19.0%, during the year to $193.1 
million at December 31, 2021 from $238.4 million at December 31, 2020. Commercial and industrial loans consist primarily 
of equipment loans, including purchased commercial equipment loans, working capital financing, revolving lines of credit 
and loans secured by cash and marketable securities and PPP loans. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $45.3 million, 
or 19.0%, to $193.1 million at December 31, 2021 from $238.4 million at December 31, 2020. The decline was largely due 
to PPP loan forgiveness. Excluding PPP loans, commercial and industrial loans increased $11.1 million, or 7.1%, reflecting 
an increase in loan demand, loan purchases and the launch of the new equipment financing product line. 

Residential real estate loans include fixed-rate and variable-rate, amortizing mortgage loans, home equity term loans and 
home  equity  lines  of  credit  ("HELOCs").  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 19.5 
years, that offers customers an attractive fixed interest rate and low closing costs. Residential real estate loans totaled $234.1 
million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $37.8 million, or 19.2%, from $196.3 million at December 31, 2020. In 2021, 
FNCB experienced strong demand for its proprietary WOW mortgage product, which increased $28.0 million, or 38.5%, to 
$100.9 million at December 31, 2021 from $72.9 million at December 31, 2020.  

Consumer  loans  totaled  $85.5 million  at  December  31,  2021,  a  decrease of  $0.4 million,  or  0.4%,  from  $85.9  million  at 
December  31,  2020.  The  reduction  in  consumer  loans  was  concentrated  within  the  indirect  auto  loan  portfolio,  which 
decreased  $7.6  million, or  9.2%,  to  $74.9 million  at December 31, 2021 from $82.5 million  at December 31, 2020.  The 
decrease in indirect automobile loans reflected automobile supply-chain constraints for new automobiles, coupled with a 
reduction in supply of pre-owned automobiles. The purchase of $7.4 million in consumer loan pools partially counteracted 
the reduction in indirect automobile loans. Loans to state and municipal governments increased $12.1 million, or 24.6%, to 
$61.1 million at December 31, 2021 from $49.0 million at December 31, 2020.

Under industry regulations, a concentration is considered to exist when there are loans extended 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, 2021 and 2020. 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 in all industry categories to determine if a 
potential concentration exists.  

The following table presents loans by industry, the percentage to gross loans and indicates concentrations greater than 25% 
of capital at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Modifications Related to COVID-19 

In late March 2020, the federal banking regulators issued guidance encouraging banks to work prudently with and provide 
short-term payment accommodations to borrowers affected by COVID-19.  Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act 
addressed  COVID-19  related  modifications  and  specified  that  such  modifications  made  on  loans  that  were  current  as  of 
December 31, 2019 do not need to be classified as TDRs.  In 2020, FNCB had applied this guidance and made 922 such 
modifications,  with  843  loans  having  an  aggregate  recorded  investment  of  $151.4 million  outstanding  at  December  31, 
2020.  These initial modifications provided borrowers with a short-term, typically three-month, interest-only period or full 
payment  deferral.   FNCB  extended  a  second  payment  deferral  modification  for  79  loans  with  an  aggregate  recorded 
investment of $22.0 million. Management closely monitored all loans for which a payment deferral was granted and as of 
December 31, 2021, there were no loans that were still under deferral. 

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, 
including  the  Director's  Loan  Committee.  Management  continually  evaluates  its  credit  risk  management  practices  to 
ensure problems in the loan portfolio are addressed 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 from  the finance,  legal,  retail  lending  and  credit  administration  units,  meets  monthly,  or  more  often  as 
necessary, to review individual problem credits and workout strategies and provides monthly reports to the Director's Loan 
Committee and full 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 operation or liquidation of the collateral held. For impaired loans that are secured by real estate, management 

49 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
     
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
obtains external appraisals 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, management may use other 
valuations sources, including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. 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 either 
charged off or a specific reserve is established. For impaired loans for which the value of the collateral less estimated costs 
to sell exceeds the loan value, the impairment is determined to be zero. 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 estimated 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.

FNCB's asset quality metrics continued to improve throughout 2021. Total non-performing assets decreased $1.0 million, or 
13.0%, to $6.5 million at December 31, 2021 from $7.5 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was due primarily to a 
decrease in non-accrual loans, partially offset by an increase in OREO. Nonaccrual loans decreased $1.7 million, or 30.8%, 
to $3.9 million at December 31, 2021 from $5.6 million at December 31, 2020. The reduction in non-accrual loans primarily

reflected strong repayment activity and the return of several smaller balance loans to accrual status. FNCB’s ratio of non-
performing loans to total gross loans decreased to 0.39% at December 31, 2021 from 0.62% at December 31, 2020. Similarly, 
FNCB’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of shareholders’ equity decreased to 4.0% at December 31, 2021 from 
4.8% at December 31, 2020.  

Other non-performing assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was comprised solely of a classified account receivable, the 
balance of which was $1.8 million at December 31, 2021 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2020. The receivable is secured 
by an evergreen letter of credit that was 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 
agreement provides for payment to FNCB as real estate building lots are sold. The project was stalled due to a decline in real 
estate values in this area following the financial crisis of 2008. In 2019, economic development in this market area started to 
improve and management had confirmed that the developer for this project had resumed construction activity, including the 
completion of substantial infrastructure, and had increased marketing and sales initiatives related to the project. To date, no 
single-unit  lots  have  been  sold,  however,  the   developer  completed  the  construction  of  a  seven-unit  building  that  houses 
timeshare  units and  owners  began  occupying  the  units  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020.  In  2020,  management  negotiated  a 
repayment  plan  with  the  developer.  FNCB  received  the  first  payment  of  $127  thousand  in  the  second  quarter  of  2021. 
Management  continues  to  closely  monitor  the  project. While  the  repayment  plan  has  commenced,  economic uncertainty 
and volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are still unknown and could negatively impact the timing of sales and 
payments. 

TDRs at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $6.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Accruing and non-accruing TDRs 
were $6.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively at December 31, 2021 and $7.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively at 
December 31, 2020.   

There was one loan that was modified as a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2021. The modification involved a 
commercial and industrial loan that was granted a principal forbearance. The pre- and post-modification recorded investment 
for this loan was $235 thousand.  

There were four loans that were modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2020. There was one residential real 
estate loan for which the original terms were extended, and three commercial and industrial loans that were each granted a 
principal forbearance. The residential real estate loan had a pre- and post-modification recorded investment of $93 thousand. 
The  three  commercial  and  industrial  loans  had  an  aggregate  pre-  and  post-modification  recorded  investment  of  $196 
thousand. 

The average balance of impaired loans, including TDRs was $11.0 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. FNCB recognized interest on impaired loans of $305 thousand in 2021 and $351 thousand 
in 2020.  

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 $215  thousand and  $353  thousand  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

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. Employment conditions in FNCB’s market area, at 
December  31,  2021  although elevated,  improved  as compared  to  December  31,  2020,  as  the  economy  re-opened  and 
economic  activity  increased  amid  widespread  vaccine  distribution.  The  seasonally-adjusted  unemployment  rate  for  the 
Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-Hazleton metropolitan statistical area, FNCB's primary market area, improved to  6.4% at December 
31, 2021, compared to 7.7% at December 2020. Additionally, in response to continuing inflationary pressures, the FOMC 
has indicated that they will begin tightening monetary policy by increasing short-term interest rates as early as their meeting 
in March of 2022. Rising interest rates, coupled with elevated unemployment levels, may pose debt service constraints for 
borrowers  with  floating-rate  loans,  which  could  result  in  an  increase  in  loan  delinquencies  and  general  asset  quality 
deterioration. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio in light of the any continued effects of the pandemic to 
proactively addresses any potential impact to the credit quality of FNCB's loan portfolio.

Total delinquencies as a percent of gross loans decreased to 0.55% at December 31, 2021 from 0.99% at December 31, 2020. 
The most predominant factor contributing to the decrease in total delinquencies was the $1.7 million decrease in non-accrual 
loans, along with decreases in the balance of accruing loans past due 30-59 days and 60-89 days. 

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. 

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 $12.4 million  at  December  31,  2021,  an  increase  of  $0.5  million,  or  3.9%, from  $11.9  million  at 
December 31, 2020. The  increase  resulted  from  a  provision  for  loan  and  lease  losses  of $166  thousand  coupled with  net 
recoveries of $300 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2020, Management adjusted the qualitative factors 
for  the  potential  effect  of economic  and  employment  uncertainty  and  disruption  due  to  the  global  pandemic  into  its 
evaluation.  

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 $26 thousand, or 0.2%, of the total ALLL at December 31, 2021, compared to $416 thousand, or 3.5%, of 
the total ALLL at December 31, 2020. A general reserve of $12.4 million was established for loans analyzed collectively 
under ASC 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), which represented 99.8% of the total ALLL of $12.4 million at December 
31,  2021.  Included  in  the  general  component  of  the  ALLL were  unallocated  reserves  of  $1.1  million,  for  both  years 
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Based on its evaluations, management may establish an unallocated component to cover 
any inherent losses that exist as of the evaluation date, but which may not have been identified under the methodology. In 
2020, management increased the unallocated reserve as part of an overall increase in credit provisioning due to the economic 
disruption  caused  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic. Based  on  continued  economic  uncertainty  related  to  the  pandemic, 
management believes the level of the unallocated reserve continues to be appropriate at December 31, 2021. The ratio of the 
ALLL to total loans at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 1.27% and 1.33%, respectively, based on loans, net 
of net deferred origination fees and unearned income of $979.4 million and $901.1 million, respectively.

Other Real Estate Owned 

The  balance  of  OREO  was  $920  thousand  at  December  31,  2021,  which  included  two  bank-owned  properties  that  were 
transferred from bank premises to OREO. Comparatively, OREO at December 31, 2020 included one piece of commercial 
land with a carrying value of $58 thousand. FNCB recorded a valuation adjustment to the carrying value of $4 thousand prior 
to selling the land in 2021. The land was subsequently sold for $65 thousand with a gain of $11 thousand recognized at the 
time of sale. In 2021, FNCB also obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure for a residential mortgage with a recorded investment 
of $138 thousand. The property immediately went under contract at a selling price of $205 thosuand. FNCB transferred the 
property to OREO at the selling price less cost to sell of $178 thousand and recorded a positive valuation adjustment of $40 
thousand, which is included in non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021. The sale of this property was 
finalized in 2021.

On  December  16,  2021,  FNCB  received  approval  from  its  primary  regulator  to  consolidate  the  Bank’s  Wheeler  Avenue 
Community  Office  into  its  Main  Office  effective  February  18,  2022.  Both  offices  are  located  in  Dunmore,  Lackawanna 
County, Pennsylvania. FNCB is obligated under a land lease through December 2024 for the Wheeler Avenue property and 
FNCB  received  an  independent  third-party  appraisal  of  the  building  and  improvements,  which  it  owns.  Upon  regulatory 
approval, FNCB transferred the building and improvements to OREO at fair value less estimated cost to sell of $228 thousand 
and  recorded  a  loss  on  the  transfer  of  $242  thousand  which  is  included  in  other  operating  expense in the  consolidated 
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2021, FNCB accepted an 
offer on a parcel of commercial land originally held in bank premises for future branch expansion. Upon acceptance FNCB 
transferred the property to OREO at $692 thousand, the selling price less estimated cost to sell. A loss of $68 thousand was 
recorded on the transfer and included in other operating expense in the consolidated statements of income. The sale of the 
land is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2022. 

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 
valuation information is available. Deterioration in the real estate market could result in additional losses on these properties. 
Valuation  adjustments  related  to  OREO  included  a  positive  valuation  adjustment  of  $36  thousand for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2021 and a write-down of $27 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Deposits 

Management  recognizes  the  importance  of  deposit  growth  as  its  primary  funding  source  for  loan  products  and 
regularly evaluates new  products  and  strategies  focused  on  growing  commercial, consumer  and municipal  deposit 
relationships. FNCB experienced strong deposit demand in 2021 and 2020, which was concentrated primarily in non-maturity 
deposits. The strong demand was generally caused by factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic including among others, 
various government stimulus initiatives, PPP funding, and changes in consumer and saving habits and business investment 
in response to economic uncertainty. FNCB did experience some deposit migration during both 2021 and 2020 as maturing 
time deposits were redirected into non-maturity deposits. 

Total deposits increased $167.6 million, or 13.0%, to $1.455 billion at December 31, 2021 from $1.287 billion at December 
31, 2020. Interest-bearing deposits increased $119.0 million, or 11.7%, to $1.135 billion at December 31, 2021 from $1.016 
billion at December 31, 2020. In addition, non-interest-bearing deposits increased $48.6 million, or 17.9%, to $320.1 million 
at December 31, 2021 from $271.5 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in non-interest-bearing deposits was due 
primarily to increases in consumer and small business demand deposit accounts, including residual balances retained from 
PPP  loan  funding.  With  regard  to  interest-bearing deposits,  the  increase  was  primarily  concentrated  in  interest-bearing 
demand accounts, specifically money market transaction accounts, interest-bearing public funds and interest-bearing business 
checking  accounts.  In  total,  interest-bearing  demand  deposits  increased  $144.6  million,  or  20.2%,  to  $857.9  million  at 
December  31,  2021 from  $713.4 million  at  December  31,  2020.  Savings  accounts  increased $24.6  million,  or  22.4%,  to 
$134.2 million at December 31, 2021 from $109.7 million at December 31, 2020. Time deposits with balances $250 thousand 
and over decreased $9.7 million, or 26.7%, to $26.5 million at December 31, 2021, from $36.2 million at December 31, 2020, 
and other time deposits decreased $40.3 million, or 25.7%, to $116.3 million at December 31, 2021 from $156.7 million at 
December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021 other time deposits included $10 million in brokered time deposits outstanding 
that are part of an interest rate swap transaction, compared to $20 million at December 31, 2020. 

Total deposits averaged $1.381 billion in 2021, an increase of $230.7 million, or 20.1%, compared to $1.151 billion in 2020. 
The changes in average deposit balances reflected the migration of time deposits into non-maturity deposits, and continued 
oversupply  of  deposits  in  the  market. Non-interest-bearing  demand  deposits  averaged  $73.2 million,  or  30.2%,  higher  at 
$315.2 million in 2021 as compared to $242.0 million in 2020. Interest-bearing deposits averaged $1.066 billion in 2021, an 
increase of $157.6 million, or 17.3%, from $908.5 million in 2020. The increase was concentrated in average interest-bearing 
demand deposits which increased $153.3 million, or 25.1% comparing 2021 and 2020. Average savings deposits increased 
$23.2 million, or 22.8%, to $125.0 million in 2021 from $101.9 million in 2020. Partially offsetting these increases was a 
decrease of $18.9 million, or 9.7%, in average time deposits, to $176.2 million in 2021 from $195.1 million in 2020. FNCB’s 
deposit funding costs decreased 35 basis points, to 0.24% in 2021 from 0.59% in 2020. Rates on interest-bearing demand and 
time deposits decreased by 32 basis points and 55 basis points, respectively, while savings deposit rates decreased to a lesser 
extent, by 3 basis points, comparing 2021 and 2020. The decrease in deposit costs reflected sustained low market interest 
rates due to deposit oversupply within the industry in 2021. 

The average balance of, and the rate paid on, the major classifications of deposits for the past three years are summarized in

Borrowings 

FNCB  has  an  agreement  with  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  which  allows  for  borrowings,  either  overnight  or  term,  up  to  a 
maximum  borrowing  capacity  based  on  a  percentage  of  qualifying  loans  pledged  under  a  blanket  pledge  agreement.  In 
addition to pledging loans, FNCB is required to purchase FHLB of Pittsburgh stock based upon the amount of credit extended. 
Loans that were pledged to collateralize borrowings under this agreement were $478.3 million at December 31, 2021 and 
$500.1 million at December 31, 2020. FNCB’s maximum borrowing capacity was $391.7 million at December 31, 2021. 
There  was  $7.5  million  in  letters  of  credit  to  secure  municipal  deposits outstanding  at  December  31,  2021 under  this 
agreement. There were $20.0 million in term advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh outstanding at December 31, 2021 
that were hedged under interest-rate swaps. There were no overnight borrowings or term advances through the FHLB of 
Pittsburgh at December 31, 2020. 

Advances  through  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  Discount  Window  generally  include  short-term  advances  which  are  fully 
collateralized  by  certain  pledged  loans  of  $18  million  under  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank’s  Borrower-in-Custody  (“BIC”) 
program. There were no advances under the BIC program outstanding at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. FNCB 
had available borrowing capacity of $10.6 million under this program at December 31, 2021. 

FNCB also had $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 2021 was 1.85%, compared to 2.43% in 2020.  

Average  borrowed  funds decreased  $39.1 million,  or  14.0%,  to  $12.2 million  in  2021 from  $51.3  million  in  2020.  The 
average rate paid on borrowed funds increased 14 basis points to 1.61% in 2021 from 1.47% in 2020. The increase in rate on 
borrowed funds reflected lower average volumes of overnight and short-term borrowings through the FHLB of Pittsburgh 
and  Federal  Reserve  Bank in  2021  as  compared  to  2020,  as  short-term  borrowing  rates  were  at  historical  lows. 
Average borrowed funds in 2021 was comprised mainly of the junior subordinated debentures, which carry an adjustable rate 
tied to 3-Month LIBOR plus 1.67%.  

See Note 7, “Borrowed Funds” 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 borrowed funds. 

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 and lease origination volumes, loan, lease 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 fluctuations in FNCB’s liquidity position daily and forecasts future liquidity needs. 
Additionally,  management  performs  periodic  stress  tests  on  FNCB's  liquidity  position  that  attempt  to  model  in  varying 
degrees of stress in order to proactively develop strategies to ensure adequate liquidity at all times. Additionally, management 
regularly monitors FNCB's wholesale funding sources taking into consideration the cost of fund, diversification between 
funding sources and asset/liability management strategies. FNCB utilizes brokered deposits, including one-way purchases 

58 

  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
through the IntraFiSM Network, deposits acquired through a national listing service, as well as overnight and term advances 
through the FHLB of Pittsburgh as wholesale sources of funds to supplement its deposit gathering initiatives. 

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. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $99.0 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease 
of $56.8 million, or 36.4%, from $155.8 million at December 31, 2020, as net cash outflows for investing activities more 
than offset net cash inflows from operating and financing activities.  

Net cash outflows from investing activities used $260.8 million of cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 
31, 2021, which primarily reflected the deployment of excess liquidity into the investment and loan portfolios. Specifically, 
cash outflows for purchases of available-for-sale debt securities, net of inflows for sales, maturities, calls and repayments, 
were $184.3 million in 2021. Additionally, FNCB recorded a net increase in loans and leases of $73.2 million, resulting from 
increased  demand,  ALCO  initiatives  to  hold  in  portfolio  saleable  1-4  family  residential  mortgages,  and  the  purchase  of 
individual loans and loan pools from third-party originators. Also, contributing to the net cash outflow for investing activities 
were purchases of new BOLI policies and bank premises and equipment of $2.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. 

Financing  activities  provided  $179.8 million  in  net  cash,  which  resulted  primarily  from  a  $167.6  million  net  increase in 
deposits  in  2021,  coupled  with  $20.0  million  in  proceeds  received  from  term  advances  through FHLB  of  Pittsburgh. 
These inflows were  slightly  offset  by  net  cash  used to  pay  dividends  to  shareholder  dividends  of  $5.4  million  and  to 
repurchase shares of common stock totaling $2.4 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 of cash flows from operations. In 2021 operating activities provided FNCB with $24.2 million in net 
cash, which reflected net income of $21.4 million and non-cash adjustments to income of $2.8 million.  

Management is actively monitoring FNCB's liquidity position and capital adequacy in light of the changing circumstances 
related  to  economic  uncertainty  brought  on  by  the COVID-19  pandemic.  While  management  believes  FNCB's  liquidity 
position is favorable, they are keenly aware that changes in general economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest 
rates  and  situations  related  to  the  pandemic,  among  others, could  pose  potential  stress on  liquidity  should  deposits  begin 
exiting the Bank or FNCB's asset quality deteriorates. Additionally, FNCB could experience an increase in the utilization of 
existing lines of credit as customers manage their own liquidity needs during this time of economic uncertainty. Management 
believes that FNCB’s current liquidity position is sufficient to meet its cash flow needs as of December 31, 2021. In addition 
to  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $99.0  million  at December  31,  2021, FNCB  had  ample  sources  of  additional  liquidity 
including  approximately  $391.7  million  in  available  borrowing  capacity  with  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh,  and  available 
borrowing capacity through The Federal Reserve Discount Window of $10.6 million under the BIC program. In addition, 
FNCB had $72.0 million in federal fund lines of credit available through correspondent banks at December 31, 2021, as well 
as access to wholesale deposit markets. 

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 include providing an adequate return to shareholders, retaining a sufficient 
base from which to provide for future growth, and 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  $12.8  million  to  $162.0 million  at  December  31,  2021 from  $149.2  million  at 
December  31,  2020.  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, 2021 and 2020. There are no conditions or events since this notification 
that management believes have changed this category.

As  of  December  31,  2021,  FNCB  had  30,010,125  shares  of  common  stock  available  for  future  sale  or  share  dividends. 
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, 2021 and 2020. 

On January 27, 2021, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 975,000 shares 
of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in 
accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The repurchase program commenced on 
February  3,  2021 and  expired  on  December  31,  2021.  On  January  26,  2022,  FNCB's  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the 
repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock under a similar program, which is anticipated to 
commence on March 4, 2022. Repurchases under both programs are administered through an independent broker and are 
subjected to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. In 
2021,  FNCB  repurchased  330,759  shares  at  a  weighted-average  price  per  share  of  $7.21,  or  $2.4  million  in  aggregate. 
Repurchases are funded from available working capital and the repurchased shares were returned to the status of authorized 
but unissued shares of common stock. 

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 2021 and 2020 were $0.27 per share and $0.22 per share, respectively. 
FNCB offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase plan ("DRP") to its shareholders. For the years ended December 
31, 2021 and 2020 dividend reinvestment shares were purchased in open market transactions, while shares under the optional 
cash purchase feature of the DRP were issued from authorized but unissued common shares. Shares of common stock issued 
under the DRP totaled 12,189 and 10,271 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Subsequent to 
December  31,  2021,  on  January  26,  2022,  FNCB  declared  a  $0.075 per  share  dividend  payable  on  March  15,  2022 to 
shareholders of record on March 1, 2022. 

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, 2021, 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,  2021  and  2020.  With  the  exception  of  credit  availability  for  certain  commercial  construction,  land  acquisition  and 
development loans having a 24-month draw period, all of the off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding at December 
31, 2021 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 
$583 thousand and $613 thousand at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were included in other liabilities in 
the consolidated statements of financial condition.  

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to measure the FNCB’s financial 
position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation 
or  recession  are  generally  not  considered.  The  primary  effect  of  inflation  on  FNCB's  operations  is  primarily  related  to 
increases in operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results 
of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. Although interest rates are greatly influenced by 
changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. 
FNCB manages interest rate risk in several ways. Refer to “Interest Rate Risk ” in Item 7A for further discussion.There can 
be no assurance that FNCB will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are 
highly  sensitive  to  many  factors  that  are  beyond  its  control.  Additionally,  inflation  may  adversely  impact  the  financial 
condition of FNCB's borrowers and could impact their ability to repay their loans, which could negatively affect FNCB's 
asset quality through higher delinquency rates and increased charge-offs. Management will carefully will carefully consider 
the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on FNCB borrowers in managing credit risk related to the loan and lease 
portfolio.   

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.  

LIBOR Replacement 

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC") had proposed that the Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") 
replace USD-LIBOR, with the transition to SOFR from USD-LIBOR to take place by the end of 2021. FNCB has various 
loans, investments, borrowings and interest rate swap contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR. On November 30, 2020 the 
ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), which complies and oversees LIBOR, announced its intention to extend most of 
the USD-LIBOR tenors to June 30, 2023, with U.S. banking regulators supporting the extension. As of December 31, 2021, 
most LIBOR tenors, with the exception of the overnight, 1-,3-, 6- and 12-month LIBOR tenors which have been extended 
through June 30, 2023, have ceased to be published. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2022, no new financial instruments 
can be written with terms tied to LIBOR. FNCB has various loans, investments, borrowings and interest rate swap contracts 
that  are  indexed  to  USD-LIBOR,  and  management  is  actively monitoring  its  LIBOR  exposures  and  evaluating  any  risks 
involved. 

Asset and Liability Management 

The ALCO, comprised of members of the Bank's board of directors, executive management and other appropriate officers, 
oversees  FNCB's  interest  rate  risk  management  program. Members  of  ALCO  meet  quarterly,  or  more  frequently  as 
necessary, 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 -100 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 -100 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, 2021 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. 

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of parallel and instantaneous interest rate shocks of +400 basis points, 
+200 basis points and -100 basis points on net interest income and the change in economic value over a one-year time horizon 
from the December 31, 2021 levels:

Model results at December 31, 2021 indicated that FNCB's asset/liability position was relatively well matched in the near 
term  with  an  asset-sensitive  bias  emerging  over  the  remaining  over  the  life  of  the  model. At  December  31,  2021,  the 
model indicated that FNCB’s net interest income is expected to decrease 4.1% under a +200-basis point interest rate shock, 
as compared to the base case. Under this scenario, assumed increases to funding costs hinder potential benefits of rising rates 
on net interest income in the near term with net interest income exhibiting a strong upward trajectory for the remainder of the 
simulation. Model results also indicate a 4.6% decrease to net interest income from the base case over the next 12 months 
under a rate shock of -100 basis points. Assumptions under this falling-rate scenario, indicate that asset-yield deterioration

would offset any remaining funding cost relief, with net interest income to continue a downward trend as assets continue to 
reprice  into  lower  rates. Additionally,  model  results  indicated  that  FNCB's  EVE  is  expected  to  decrease  3.0%  and 
21.6% under parallel shifts in interest rates of +200 basis points and -100 basis points, respectively. With the exception of a 
-100-basis  point  impact  on  the  EVE,  all  modeled  exposures  of  net  interest  income  and  EVE  were  within  internal  policy 
guidelines. Management does not believe that the modeled decrease in the EVE, which exceeds the current policy limit of 
10.0%, poses any undue interest rate risk at December 31, 2021, as the results are impacted by deposit decay rate assumptions 
on the higher  level  of  non-maturity  deposits.  Comparatively, model  results  at  December  31,  2020  indicated  net  interest 
income would be expected to decrease 1.0% and economic value of equity would be expected to increase 10.7% given a 
+200-basis point rate shock, and under a -100- basis point rate shock, net interest income would be expected to decrease 
0.8% and the economic value of equity would decrease 32.9%.  

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,  2021 with  tax-equivalent  net  interest  income  that  was  projected  for 
the period.  There  was  a  positive  variance  between  actual  and  projected  tax-equivalent  net  interest  income  for  the  three 
months ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $1.1 million, or 8.1%. The variance primarily reflected a difference in 
the  assumption  for  the  volume  and  timing  of  the  forgiveness  of  PPP  loans  used  in  the  model  with  that 
actually experienced.  ALCO performs a detailed rate/volume analysis between actual and projected results to continue to 
improve the accuracy of its simulation models.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of 
FNCB Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of FNCB Bancorp, Inc. and 
Subsidiaries (Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of 
income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and 
the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial 
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 
2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

Basis for Opinion 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 
We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. 
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we 
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements 
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were 
we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are 
required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. 
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matters 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the 
consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit 
committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial 
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication 
of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as 
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the 
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for Loan Losses – Qualitative Factor Adjustments 

Critical Audit Matter Description 

As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowance for loan losses is 
established through a provision for loan losses and represents an amount, which, in management’s judgment, 
will be adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $12.42 
million at December 31, 2021, which consisted of specific and general reserve components of $.03 million and 
$12.39 million, respectively. 
In calculating the general reserve component, management considered historical loss experience by segment 
and qualitative factor adjustments for changes not reflected in the historical loss experience. The general 
reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses involved consideration of national and local 
economic conditions, levels of and trends in classified loans, delinquency rates and nonaccrual loans, trends in 
volumes and terms of loans, changes in lending policies, lending personnel, and collateral, as well as 
concentrations in loan types, industry, and geography. The adjustments for qualitative factors require a 
significant amount of judgment by management and involve a high degree of estimation uncertainty. 

We identified the qualitative factor component of the allowance for loan losses as a critical audit matter as 
auditing the underlying qualitative factors required significant auditor judgment as amounts determined by 
management rely on analysis that is highly subjective and includes significant estimation uncertainty. The 
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: 

  Obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls related to the allowance for loan losses and tested 
such  controls  for  design  and  operating  effectiveness,  including  controls  related  to  management’s 
establishment, review, and approval of the qualitative factors, and the completeness and accuracy of 
data used in determining qualitative factors. 

  Evaluation of the appropriateness of management’s methodology for estimating the allowance for loan 

losses. 

  Testing  of  the  completeness  and  accuracy  of  data  used by  management  in  determining  qualitative 

factor adjustments by agreeing them to internal and external source data. 

  Testing  of  management’s  conclusions  regarding  the  appropriateness  of  the  qualitative  factor 
adjustments and agreement of any changes therein to the allowance for loan losses calculation. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

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  17 full-service  branch locations,  as  of  December  31,  2021, within  its  primary  market 
area, Northeastern Pennsylvania. 

FNCB Realty Company, Inc., FNCB Realty Company I, LLC, and FNCB Realty Company II, LLC, which were formed to 
hold real estate and/or operate businesses acquired in exchange for debt settlement or foreclosure, were inactive at December 
31, 2021 and 2020. 

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”),  the  valuation  and  impairment  evaluation  of  FNCB's 
investments, 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. 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, 2021 and 2020, the amount of these balances were $1.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. 

Securities 

Debt Securities and Equity Securities with Readily Determinable Fair Values 

FNCB classifies its investments in debt securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Debt 
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,  net  of  tax.  Debt 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.  Premiums  on  callable  debt  securities  are  amortized  to  the  earliest  call  date.  Amortization  of  premiums  and 
accretion of discounts on noncallable debt securities is recognized over the life of the related security as an adjustment to 

72 

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
yield using the interest method. Realized gains and losses on sales of debt securities are based on amortized cost using the 
specific  identification  method  on  the  trade  date.  All  of  FNCB's  debt  securities  were  classified  as  available-for-sale  at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020. 

Equity  securities  with  readily  determinable  fair  values  are  reported  at  fair  value  with  net  unrealized  gains  and  losses 
recognized in the consolidated statements of income. 

Fair values for debt securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are based upon quoted market prices, 
where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based upon quoted market prices of comparable 
instruments, or a discounted cash flow model using market estimates of interest rates and volatility. 

Restricted Securities 

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 
is  comprised  of  stock  in  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank ("FHLB")  of  Pittsburgh  and  Atlantic  Community  Bankers  Bank 
("ACBB").  

Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values 

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values generally consist of common and/or preferred stock of privately 
held financial institutions, which are carried at cost and included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial 
condition. On a quarterly basis, management performs a qualitative assessment to determine if the securities are impaired. If 
the qualitative assessment indicates impairment, the security is written down to its fair value, with the charge for impairment 
included in net income. 

Evaluation for Other Than Temporary Impairment 

On a quarterly basis, management evaluates all 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; and 
changes in the security’s rating. 

Based  on  current  authoritative  guidance,  when  a  held-to-maturity  or  available-for-sale  security  is  assessed  for  OTTI, 
management must first consider (a) whether it intends to sell the security and (b) whether it is more likely than not the 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. The total 
OTTI loss is presented in the statement of income less the portion recognized in other comprehensive income. 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. The assessment of whether an OTTI decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity 
and judgment that is based on information available to management at a point in time.

Loan and Lease Origination Fees and Costs 

Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are 
stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized deferred loan fees and costs, any unearned income 
and partial  charge-offs.  Loans  and  leases  receivable  are  presented  net  of  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  in  the 
consolidated statements of financial condition. Interest income on all loans is recognized using the effective interest method. 
Nonrefundable loan origination fees, as well as certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and the net amount amortized 
over the contractual life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. 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 principal balance, then to the recovery of any previously charged-off principal, 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. 

In accordance with federal regulations, prior to making, extending, renewing or advancing additional funds in excess of $500 
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  operation  or  liquidation  of  the  collateral  held.  For  impaired  loans  that  are  secured  by  real  estate,  external 
appraisals are generally 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. 

74 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
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. 

FNCB's allowance methodology 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 
that is used to cover any inherent losses that exist as of the evaluation date, but which may not have been identified under the 
methodology. 

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 - 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 - 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 

75 

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

Residential Real Estate - FNCB offers fixed-rate 1 - 4 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. 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. 
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. Residential mortgage loans, including home equity loans, are generally smaller 
in size and are considered homogeneous as they exhibit similar characteristics. 

Consumer – 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. 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, Loan Sales and Servicing 

Mortgage loans originated and held 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. 

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. 

76 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 operations or for future expansion. OREO is held for sale and is initially recorded 
at  fair  value  less  estimated  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 
3 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 2018. 

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 

77 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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, 2021 and 2020. 

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 shares of unvested restricted stock for which the dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock 
method. 

Stock-Based Compensation 

FNCB recognizes all share-based payments for compensation in the consolidated statements of income based on their fair 
values  on  the  grant  date. The  fair  value  of  shares  of  unrestricted  and  restricted  stock  and  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 grant date. Stock-based compensation expense for unrestricted stock is recognized on the grant 
date.  For  restricted  stock,  stock-based  compensation  expense 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 $99 thousand and 
$116 thousand at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 and derivative contracts 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. 

78 

  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
 
 
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,  which  is  recognized  on  the  accrual  basis  primarily  on  terms  in  written  contracts  such  as  loan 
agreements or securities contracts. FNCB also earns non-interest income from various banking services offered by the Bank 
and other transactions 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 an ATM that is not within the AllPoint ATM network 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 available-for-sale debt securities - Gains or losses realized from the sale of available-for-
sale debt securities are recorded to non-interest income on the settlement date. 
Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale - Gains or losses realizd on the sale of mortgages held for sale 
are recorded to non-interest income on the settlement date. 

● 

● 

●  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 
asset 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.  

●  Loan referral fees/interest rate swap revenue - Loan referral fees represent fees FNCB receives from a third-party 
correspondent bank for referring certain qualified borrowers to their proprietary loan participation swap program. 
Interest  rate  swap  revenue  represent  net  fees  FNCB  receives  from  a  counterparty  for  completing  the  swap 
transaction with the counterparty directly. FNCB receives both types of fees at the time the loan closes. The fees 
are non-refundable and are not tied to the loan and FNCB has no future obligations to the correspondent under the 
participation agreement related to such fees. FNCB records referral fees/interest rate swap revenue in non-interest 
income upon receipt. 

●  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 

79 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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 

Accounting  Standards  Update  (“ASU”)  2020-04,  Reference  Rate  Reform  (Topic  848):  “Facilitation  of  the  Effects  of 
Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential 
burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional 
expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other 
transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 were effective 
upon  issuance.  On  January  7,  2021,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2021-01,  Reference  Rate  Reform  (Topic  848) that  clarifies 
that certain optional expedients and exceptions provided for in ASU 2020-04 also apply to derivatives that do not reference 
a rate that is being discontinued but otherwise are affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that changes in 
the  interest  rates  used  for  margining,  discounting,  or  contract  price  alignment  for  derivative  instruments  that  are  being 
implemented  as  part  of  the  market-wide  transition  to  new  reference  rates,  commonly  referred  to  as  the  "discounting 
transition," are within the scope of Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance. As part of its overall evaluation of 
reference rate reform, management is still evaluating the impact that LIBOR replacement will have on FNCB's operating 
results and financial position. Any such impacts will be prospective in nature and may affect net interest income and fair 
value estimates after the effective date of such rate replacement. The LIBOR replacement is not expected to have a material 
effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB. 

Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods 

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.  ASU  2016-13  is  commonly  referred  to  as  Current  Expected  Credit 
Losses ("CECL") and 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 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 was originally effective for public business 
entities that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities and Exchange 
Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  including  smaller  reporting  companies,  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. On November 15, 2019, 
the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued  ASU  2019-10,  "Credit  Losses  (Topic  326),  Derivatives  and 

80 

  
  
   
  
  
  
Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates," which finalized various effective dates delay for private 
companies,  not-for-profit  organizations,  and  certain  smaller  reporting  companies.  Specifically,  under  ASU  2019-10  the 
effective  date  for  implementation  of  CECL  for  smaller  reporting  companies,  private  companies  and  not-for-profits  was 
extended  to fiscal  years,  and interim periods  within  those years, beginning  after December 15,  2022.  FNCB  is  a  smaller 
reporting company, and accordingly, will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2023. FNCB has created a CECL task group 
comprised of members of its finance, credit administration, lending, internal audit, loan operations and information systems 
units. The CECL task group understands the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and is currently 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 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  2020-01  Investments  -  Investments-Equity  Securities  (Topic  321),  Investments-Equity  Method  and  Joint  Ventures 
(Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The new guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and 
out of the equity method and measuring certain purchase options and forward contracts to acquire investments.  If a company 
is applying the measurement alternative for an equity investment under ASC 321 and must transition to the equity method, 
or if applying the equity method and must transition to ASC 321; because of an observable transaction, it will remeasure its 
investment immediately before transition.  If a company holds certain non-derivative forward contracts or purchased call 
options to acquire equity securities, such instruments generally will be measured using the fair value principles of ASC 321 
before  settlement  or  exercise. ASU  2020-01 is  effective  for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal 
years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public business entities, and for fiscal years, and interim periods within those 
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2021  for  all  other  entities.  Early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  adoption  of  this 
guidance on January 1, 2022 is not expected to have a material effect on the operating results or financial position of FNCB.

Except for securities of U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, there were no  securities of any individual 
issuer that exceeded 10.0% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2021 or 2020. 

The following table presents the maturity information of FNCB’s available-for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2021. 
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.  

Management performed a review of all securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2021 and determined that 
movements in the fair values of the securities were consistent with changes in market interest rates or market disruption 
stemming  from  the  COVID-19  global  pandemic.  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, 2021. 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, 2021.

Equity Securities and Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Value 

At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, equity securities without readily determinable fair values consisted of a $500 
thousand investment in a fixed-rate, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock of a privately-held bank holding company, 
which is included in other assets in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The preferred stock pays quarterly 
dividends  at  an  annual  rate  of  8.25%,  which commenced  on  March  30,  2021.  The  preferred  stock  of  this  bank  holding 
company is not traded on any established market and is accounted for as an equity security without a determinable fair value. 
Under  GAAP,  an  equity  security  without  a  readily  determinable  fair  value  shall  be  written  down  to  its  fair  values  if  a 
qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying 
value. As part of its qualitative assessment, management engaged an independent third party to provide valuations of this 
investment  as  of  December  31,  2021  &  2020,  which  indicated  that  the  investment  was  not  impaired.  Accordingly, 
management determined that no adjustment for impairment was required at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 

Restricted Securities 

The following table presents FNCB's investment in restricted securities at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Restricted securities 
have limited marketability and are carried at cost. Management noted no indicators of impairment for FHLB of Pittsburgh or

Included in commercial and industrial loans and leases at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $21.9 million 
and $78.6 million, respectively, of loans originated under the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Payment Protection 
Program  ("PPP").  Included  in  net  deferred  origination  fees  at  December  31,  2021  and  December  31,  2020,  were  $1.0 
million and $2.6 million, respectively, in deferred origination fees, net of deferred loan origination costs, associated with the 
PPP Loans. PPP loans are 100.0% guaranteed and may be forgiven by the SBA. Accordingly, there was no ALLL established 
for PPP loans at December 31, 2021 and 2020. 

In 2021, management expanded FNCB's commercial credit product offerings to include commercial equipment financing, 
through simple interest loans, direct finance leases and municipal leases. There were no direct finance leases originated in 
2021. Simple loans and municipal leases originated under this initiative were $7.9 million and $2.4 million, respecitively. 
Simple interest loans are included in commercial and industrial loans, while municipal leases are included with state and 
political subdivision loans. 

FNCB has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to certain of its executive officers and directors as well as to 
certain  of  their  related  parties.  For  more  information  about  related  party  transactions,  refer  to  Note  11,  “Related  Party 
Transactions” to these consolidated financial statements. 

For information about credit concentrations within FNCB’s loan portfolio, refer to Note 12, “Commitments, Contingencies 
and Concentrations” to these consolidated financial statements. 

FNCB originates 1- 4 family residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. During the years ended December 
31, 2021 and 2020, 1 - 4 family residential mortgages sold on the secondary market were $9.4 million and $13.9 million, 
respectively. Net gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans were $352 thousand in 2021 and $653 thousand in 2020. 
FNCB retains servicing rights on mortgages sold in the secondary market. There were no 1-4 family residential mortgage 
loans held for sale at December 31, 2021.  At December 31, 2020 1-4 family residential mortgage loans held for sale were 
$2.1 million. 

There were no sales of SBA-guaranteed loans during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The unpaid principal 
balance  of  loans  serviced  for  others,  including  residential  mortgages  and  SBA-guaranteed  loans  were  $77.2 million  and 
$96.5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 and lease losses based on the consistent application of its documented ALLL methodology. Loan 
and lease 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 and lease 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 

85 

  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
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.  

In addition to the specific and general components, management may establish an unallocated allowance that is used to cover 
any inherent losses that exist as of the evaluation date, but which may have not been identified under the methodology.  

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. However, 
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.

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.  

88 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
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.

indicator at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

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 $3.9 million at December 
31, 2021 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2020. 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, 2021 and 2020.

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, 2021 and 2020. 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 450. Total non-accrual loans, other 
than  TDRs,  with  balances  less  than  the  $100  thousand  loan  relationship  threshold  that  were  evaluated  under  ASC  450 
amounted to $0.6 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans 

TDRs at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $6.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Accruing and non-accruing TDRs 
were  $6.7 million  and $0.2 million, respectively  at December 31, 2021 and $7.0 million  and $0.7 million,  respectively  at 
December 31, 2020. Approximately $26 thousand and $197 thousand in specific reserves have been established for TDRs as 
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. FNCB was not committed to lend additional funds to any loan classified as a 
TDR at December 31, 2021 and 2020.  

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 
was one loan that was modified as a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2021. The modification involved a commercial 
and industrial loan that was granted a principal forbearance. The pre- and post-modification recorded investment for this loan 
was $235 thousand. 

There were four loans that were modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2020. There was one residential real 
estate loan for which the original terms were extended, and three commercial and industrial loans that were each granted a 
principal forbearance. The residential real estate loan had a pre- and post-modification recorded investment of $93 thousand. 
The  three  commercial  and  industrial  loans  had  an  aggregate  pre-  and  post-modification  recorded  investment  of  $196 
thousand. 

There were no TDRs modified within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 
2020. 

Residential Real Estate Loan Foreclosures 

In 2021, FNCB obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure for a residential mortgage with a recorded investment of $138 thousand. 
FNCB accepted an offer of $205 thousand at which time the property went under agreement of sale and the sale closed prior 
to December 31, 2021. At the time of acceptance, FNCB transferred the property to OREO at the selling price less cost to 
sell of $178 thousand and recorded a positive valuation adjustment of $40 thousand, which is included in non-interest income 
for the year ended December 31, 2021. 

There were two residential real estate loans with an aggregate recorded investment of $98 thousand that were in the process 
of foreclosure at December 31, 2021. There was one residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $154 thousand 
that was in the process of foreclosure at December 31, 2020. FNCB did not have any residential real estate properties in 
OREO at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Investment  securities  with  a  carrying  value  of  $410.5 million  and  $279.7 million  at December  31,  2021  and  2020, 
respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain municipal deposits. In addition, FNCB had outstanding letters of credit 
with the FHLB to secure municipal deposits of $7.5 million and $75.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  

Note 7. BORROWED FUNDS 

Short-term borrowings available to FNCB include overnight advances through the 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,  which  are  unsecured,  was  $72.0 
million at December 31, 2021.  

FNCB  has  an  agreement  with  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh  which  allows  for  borrowings,  either  overnight  or  term,  up  to  a 
maximum  borrowing  capacity  based  on  a  percentage  of  qualifying  loans  pledged  under  a  blanket  pledge  agreement.  In 
addition to pledging loans, FNCB is required to purchase FHLB of Pittsburgh stock based upon the amount of credit extended. 
Loans that were pledged to collateralize borrowings under this agreement were $478.3 million at December 31, 2021 and 
$500.1 million at December 31, 2020. FNCB’s maximum borrowing capacity was $391.7 million at December 31, 2021. At 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were $7.5 million and $75.0 million, respectively, in letters of credit to secure municipal 
deposits outstanding  under  this  agreement.  There  was  $20.0  million  in  term  advances  through  the  FHLB  of  Pittsburgh 
outstanding at December 31, 2021 that were hedged under interest-rate swaps. There were no overnight borrowings or term 
advances through the FHLB of Pittsburgh outstanding at December 31, 2020.

Advances  through  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  Discount  Window  generally  include  short-term  advances  which  are  fully 
collateralized  by  certain  pledged  loans  of  $18  million  under  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank’s  Borrower-in-Custody  (“BIC”) 
program. There were no advances under the BIC program outstanding at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. FNCB 
had available borrowing capacity of $10.6 million under this program at December 31, 2021. 

The  Federal  Reserve  Bank  established  the  Paycheck  Protection  Program  Liquidity  Facility (“PPPLF”)  on  April  9,  2020; 
through the Discount Window to provide participating lenders with liquidity to lend money under the PPP. PPPLF advances 
were collateralized by pools of PPP loans, with an interest rate of 0.35% and a maturity date equal to the term of the pool of 
PPP loans securing it. Repayment of PPP loans serving as collateral were passed on to the Federal Reserve Bank Discount 
Window  to  pay  down  the  corresponding  PPPLF  advance.  At  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  there  were  no  outstanding 
advances under the PPPLF.

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 1.85% in 2021 and 2.43% 
in 2020. 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 has 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,  2021  and  2020 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, 2021 and 2020. At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, accrued 
and unpaid interest associated with the Debentures amounted to $9 thousand.

Note 8. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS 

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives  

FNCB is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  It principally manages
its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. FNCB 
manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and 
duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, FNCB enters into derivative 
financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future 
unknown and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  Derivative financial instruments 
are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of known or expected cash payments primarily related to 
FNCB's borrowings.  

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk 

FNCB's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to 
interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, FNCB primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate 
risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a 
counterparty in exchange for FNCB making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the 
underlying  notional  amount.  During  2021,  such  derivatives  were  used  to  hedge  the  variable  cash  flows  associated  with 
forecasted issuances of debt. 

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is 
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period 
during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related 
to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on FNCB's variable-rate debt.  During 
the next twelve months, it is estimated that an additional $69 thousand will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. 

Non-designated Hedges 

Derivatives  not  designated  as  hedges  are  not  speculative  and  result  from  a  service  FNCB  provides  to  certain 
customers.   FNCB  executes  interest  rate  swaps  with  commercial  banking  customers  to  facilitate  their  respective  risk 
management strategies.  Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that FNCB 
executes with a third party, such that FNCB minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  As the interest 
rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of 
both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

(1) Other collateral represents the amount that cannot be used to offset our derivative assets and liabilities from a gross basis 
to  a  net  basis  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  accounting  guidance.  The  other  collateral  consist  of  securities  and  is 
exchanged under bilateral collateral and master netting agreements that allow us to offset the net derivative position with 
the related collateral. The application of the other collateral cannot reduce the net derivative position below zero. Therefore, 
excess other collateral, if any, is not reflected above.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features 

FNCB has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if FNCB defaults or is capable 
of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then it could also be declared in its derivative obligations.   

FNCB has agreements with certain of its derivatives counterparties that contain a provision where if it fails to maintain its 
status as a well-capitalized institution, then it could be required to post additional collateral. 

As of December 31, 2021, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but 
excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $96 thousand. As of December 31, 2020, 
the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment 
for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $135 thousand. FNCB has minimum collateral posting thresholds 
with certain of its derivative counterparties and has received posted collateral of $300 thousand against its obligations under 
these agreements as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, FNCB had not posted or received any collateral related 
to these agreements with counterparties. If FNCB had breached any of these provisions it could have been required to settle 
its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

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 Profit 
Sharing Plan is determined at management’s discretion at the end of each year and funded. The 401(k) feature of the Profit 
Sharing 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 2021 and 2020. Discretionary matching 
contributions under the 401(k) feature of the plan totaled $385 thousand in 2021 and $332 thousand in 2020. 

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 to $1.9 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 

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 $387 thousand in 2021 and $240 thousand in 2020. The total liability associated with the 
SERP was $1.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $856 thousand at December 31, 2020.

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. Management performed an evaluation of FNCB's deferred tax assets at December 
31,  2021  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 its deferred tax assets. There was no 
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 

Note 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

In conducting its business, FNCB has engaged in, and intends to continue to engage in, banking and financial transactions

At December 31, 2021 and 2020 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.  

Deposits  from  directors,  executive  officers  and  their  related  parties  held  by  the  Bank  at December  31,  2021  and 
2020 amounted to $152.6 million and $146.2 million, respectively. Interest paid on the deposits amounted to $290 thousand 
in 2021 and $542 thousand in 2020.  

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 dealer reserve payments. FNCB recorded payments to related parties for goods and services 
of $2.0 million for both years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020. 

Note 12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS 

Leases 

FNCB is obligated under operating leases for certain bank branches, office space, automobiles and equipment.  Operating 
lease  right  of use ("ROU")  assets  represent  FNCB's right to  use  an underlying  asset  during  the  lease term  and  operating 
liabilities  represent  its  obligation  to  make  lease  payments  under  the  lease  agreement.  ROU  assets  and  operating  lease 
liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount 
rate that represents FNCB's incremental borrowings rate at the commencement date. ROU assets are included in other assets 
and operating lease liabilities are included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. ROU assets 
and  lease  liabilities  were  $3.0 million  and  $3.2 million,  respectively, at December  31,  2021 and  $3.3 million  and 
$3.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020. 

Operating lease expense associated with bank branches and office space is included in occupancy expense, while operating 
lease  expense  associated  with  automobiles  and  office  equipment  are  included  in  equipment  expense  in  the  consolidated 
statements of income.  Total rental expense under leases amounted to $389 thousand and $408 thousand, respectively, at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Standby letters of credit........................................................................................

2020

17,179      

227,908  
18,914  

In order to provide for probable losses inherent in these instruments, FNCB recorded reserves for unfunded commitments of 
$583 thousand and $613 thousand at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021, FNCB serviced payments on $15.4 million of first lien residential loan principal 
under these terms for the FHLB. At December 31, 2021, the maximum credit enhancement obligation for such guarantees by 
FNCB  would  be  approximately  $987 thousand  if  total  foreclosure  losses  on  the  entire  pool  of  loans  exceed  the  FLA  of 
approximately $60 thousand. There was no reserve established for this guarantee at December 31, 2021 and 2020.  

Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Cash  Concentrations:  The  Bank  maintains  cash  balances  at  several  correspondent  banks.  FNCB  engages in  a  primary 
correspondent banking relationship with PNC Bank (formerly BBVA Compass).  At December 31, 2021 and 2020, FNCB 
had balances with PNC Bank of $1.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively. There were no other due from bank accounts in 
excess of the $250 thousand limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) at December 31, 2021 
and 2020.  

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 $407.7 million, or 41.5% of gross loans at December 31, 2021. Geographic concentrations 
exist  because  FNCB  provides  its  services  in  its  primary  market  area  of  Northeastern  Pennsylvania and conducts  limited 
activities outside of that area. FNCB had loans and loan commitments secured by collateral of its primary market area of 
$77.7 million, or 6.2%, of gross loans at December 31, 2021.

Litigation 

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 

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 66,065 shares in 2021 and 
75,924 shares in 2020.  

The  following  table  summarizes  the  activity  related  to  FNCB’s  unvested  restricted  stock  awards  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2021 and 2020.

For  the  years  ended December  31,  2021  and  2020,  stock-based  compensation  expense,  which  is  included  in  salaries  and 
benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income, totaled $376 thousand in 2021 and $336 thousand in 2020. Total 
unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  unvested  restricted  stock  awards  at December  31,  2021  and  2020 was 
$992 thousand and $896 thousand, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested shares of restricted 
stock is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years. 

On July 1, 2021 and 2020, 2,062 shares and 2,555 shares, respectively, of FNCB's common stock were granted under the 
LTIP  to  each  of  the  Bank's  non-employee  directors.  The  total  number  of  shares  granted  to  the  directors  were  18,558  in 
2021 and 25,550 in 2020. The shares of common stock immediately vested to each director upon grant, and the fair value per 
share on the grant date was $7.28 for the 2021 grant and $5.87 for the 2020 grant.  Directors fees of $135 thousand in 2021 
and $150 thousand in 2020 associated with these grants was recognized on each of the respective grant dates and included in 
other  operating  expense  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  income. At  December  31,  2021,  there  were  679,207  shares  of 
common stock available for award under the LTIP.

Note 14.   REGULATORY MATTERS/SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

FNCB’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders, or repurchase shares of its common stock, is largely dependent on the 
Bank’s ability to pay dividends to FNCB. Bank regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid, or shares that 
may be repurchased, without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agency. Cash dividends declared and paid by FNCB 
during 2021 and 2020 were $0.27 per share and $0.22 per share, respectively. FNCB offers a Dividend Reinvestment and 
Stock Purchase plan ("DRP") to its shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 dividend reinvestment 
shares were purchased in open market transactions. However, shares under the optional cash purchase feature of the DRP 
were issued from authorized but unissued common shares. Shares of common stock issued under the DRP totaled 12,189 and 
10,271 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, on January 26, 
2022, FNCB declared a $0.075 per share dividend payable on March 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2022. 

On January 27, 2021, FNCB's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which up to 975,000 shares 
of FNCB's outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in 
accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The repurchase program commenced on 
February  3,  2021 and  expired  on  December  31,  2021.  On  January  26,  2022,  FNCB's  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the 
repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of FNCB's outstanding common stock under a similar progrm, which is anticipated to 
commence on March 4, 2022. Repurchases under both programs are administered through an independent broker and are 
subjected to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. In 
2021,  FNCB  repurchased  330,759  shares  at  a  weighted-average  price  per  share  of  $7.21,  or  $2.4  million  in  aggregate. 
Repurchases are funded from available working capital and the repurchased shares were returned to the status of authorized 
but unissued shares of common stock. 

The holding company is considered a small bank holding company and is exempt from risk-based capital and leverage rules, 
including Basel III. 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,  2021,  that  FNCB  and  the  Bank  meet  all  applicable  capital 
adequacy requirements.

Current quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require FNCB Bank to maintain minimum 
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total capital, Tier I capital, and Tier I common equity (as defined in the 
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The following

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 the U.S. government, obligations of state and political 
subdivisions,  government-sponsored  agency  CMOs  and  mortgage-backed  securities,  private  collateralized  mortgage 
obligations, asset-backed securities, negotiable certificates of deposit and certain corporate debt securities 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,  2021,  FNCB  owned 27 corporate  debt  securities  with  an  aggregate  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  of 
$31.3 million  and  $32.1 million,  respectively.  The  market  for  eight  of  the  27  corporate  debt  securities  at December  31, 
2021 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 2.86% to 3.90% 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). 

Derivative Contracts 

FNCB's  derivative  liabilities  are  reported  at  fair  value  utilizing  Level  2  inputs.  Values  of  these  instruments  are  obtained 
through  an  independent  pricing  source  utilizing  information  which  may  include  market  observed  quotations  for  swaps, 
LIBOR rates, forward rates and rate volatility.  Derivative contracts create exposure to interest rate movements a swell as 
risks from the potential of non-performance of the counterparty.

Eight corporate debt securities were transferred from Level 3 hierarchy to Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2021. 
The market for these securities was previously not active and management obtained fair values from an independent third 
party that utilized a discounted cash flow model. During 2021, the market of these securities became active.  Accordingly, 
management was able to obtain fair values for these eight securities from the independent pricing service used to price the 
remainder of the portfolio. 

There were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2020. 

The  following  table  presents  a  reconciliation  and  statement  of  operations  classification  of  gains  and  losses  for  all  assets 
measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  using  significant  unobservable  inputs  (Level  3),  which  consisted  entirely  of 
corporate debt securities, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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, 2021 and 2020. 
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 fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at 
fair value in the financial statements were based on exit price notion. 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.

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. For each of the years ended December 31, 
2021  and  2020 common  stock  equivalents  reflected  in  the  table  above  were  related  entirely  to  the  incremental  shares  of 
unvested restricted stock.

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, 2021.  

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, 2021.  

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, 2021, 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, 2021.
