Critelli President and CEO e are pleased to share with you the Company’s achievements and performance in this Annual Report. Your Company had a very productive year with a solid increase in earnings, strong loan growth, improvements in credit quality, and enhancements in operating efficiencies. We also paid you, our shareholders, a 50% stock dividend and a 4.8% increase in cash dividends. In addition, we opened a W new Community Office in Clarks Summit, announced plans to relocate our Community Office in Roscoe, New York, and improved our various electronic banking channels. For the year ended December 31, 2017, your Company earned $8,198,000, an increase of $1,487,000 or 22.2% from the $6,711,000 earned in the prior year. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $1.31 for 2017 compared to $1.15 in 2016, after adjusting for the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017. Our earnings for 2017 were impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which the President signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Act reduced the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset, which resulted in an additional $3,060,000 of income tax expense in 2017. Though the Act had a negative impact in 2017, the Company expects to benefit from the lower tax rate beginning in 2018. Our core operating results, excluding this one-time tax adjustment, totaled $11,258,000, an increase of $4,547,000 from 2016, with core earnings per share of $1.80 in 2017 compared to $1.15 in 2016. I encourage you to read the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Financial Statements with footnotes for a full report on our performance. The year 2017 marked the 146th anniversary of Wayne Bank serving its local communities. As a community bank, we’ve remained dedicated to our mission of supporting our local residents and Helping the Community Grow by serving local businesses and their employees. We now have 26 Community Offices in six counties throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York, and have grown to $1.1 billion in asset size. NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP ■ 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Thanks to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers, and the support of our local communities, Wayne Bank was able to meet the goals we set and honor the commitments we made in 2017. We worked hard to expand and improve our products, services, and Community Offices. We solidified our presence and continued our dedication to investing in the communities we serve. Wayne Bank experienced progress and prosperity across its various sectors in 2017, including record growth in its commercial loan and wealth management divisions. This was also the first full year that the Bank’s customers enjoyed 26 Community Offices, after the 2016 acquisition of the 12 New York Offices. Although Wayne Bank’s reach now includes six counties with six very different markets, every office functions efficiently and effectively, and contributed greatly to our success in 2017. Today, Wayne Bank employs more than 200 local people. Our experienced team of financial professionals are accessible, knowledgeable, and live in the communities they serve. Because of this, Wayne Bank employees are committed to helping their neighbors, local businesses, and hometown organizations grow and thrive. They offer face-to-face guidance, directly understand their customers’ needs, and genuinely care about their success. The Bank had an extremely productive year in meeting the needs of our communities by providing financing to small businesses, municipalities, and individuals. In fact, in 2017 we originated over $100 million in commercial loans. These loans helped businesses expand, provided municipalities funds for infrastructure improvements, and created jobs and opportunities throughout our six county market area. We were also very active in our office network, generating over Downtown Roscoe, New York will benefit as our Community Office moves across the street to a larger space to better serve the community. Our recently relocated Clarks Summit Community Office offers customers the latest in banking technology and modern conveniences. 2,600 loans totaling over $80 million. We assisted our customers in building and purchasing new homes, remodeling projects, funding education, and buying new cars. One of the most exciting accomplishments of the year was the relocation of the Bank’s Clarks Summit Community Office. In December 2017, the Clarks Summit staff moved into their newly constructed, state-of-the-art office. The new, 2,300 square foot building is located up the street from the Bank’s original location, which it had occupied since 1989. The Bank’s growth in the Clarks Summit market necessitated this relocation in order to provide its customers with a more spacious and contemporary environment. The new Clarks Summit Community Office also offers a much larger and improved parking lot, with easier access to the drive-thru banking lanes. The move has been a tremendously positive one for the customers, staff, and local community, and an official grand opening event will take place at the office in May of 2018.

Mancuso, Executive Vice President; Lewis J. Critelli, President and Chief Executive Officer; John F. Carmody, Executive Vice President; John H. Sanders, Senior Vice President; James F. Burke, Executive Vice President; Ryan J. French, Senior Vice President Wayne Bank is committed to investing in the communities we serve, and the decision was made to also relocate the Roscoe, New York, Community Office in the spring of 2018. The new office is a much larger and more modern building, and is conveniently located across the street from the current Roscoe office. Renovations for the new office began in early 2018 and, once completed, will offer a more contemporary, spacious, and visible location to better serve the Roscoe community. The Bank is pleased to be able to undertake and complete these relocation initiatives that offer such wonderful improvements for our customers. In 2017, the Bank moved forward with its initiative to install new, blue signage throughout its Pennsylvania Community Offices, as a result of the prior year’s logo change. Community Offices in Lackawanna and Pike Counties were refreshed with all new exterior signage in the Wayne Bank shade of blue. The results offered impressive improvements in visibility and branding for these offices. This project will be completed in 2018 with signage updates in Monroe and Wayne Counties. An exciting addition to the Bank’s product line was this year’s release of the redesigned Rewards Checking program. Using feedback from the Community Office staff, Wayne Bank’s management team developed a checking account that is truly rewarding to customers. With free benefits including personal checks, debit cards, official bank checks and money orders, paid interest on all balances, check images in monthly statements, and more, this membership account adds significant value to our customers. The new Rewards Checking account was very well received and one of the most successful deposit products of 2017. NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP ■ 2017 ANNUAL REPORT This year, we remained dedicated to delivering our customers the latest in banking technology, while maintaining the security, reliability, and privacy they expect.

This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Forward-LookIng StatementS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in Federal and State laws, changes in interest rates, risks associated with the acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc., the ability to control costs and expenses, demand for real estate, government fiscal policies, cybersecurity and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. crItIcaL accountIng PoLIcIeS Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities, the determination of goodwill impairment and the fair value of financial instruments. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-performing Assets” in the “Financial Condition” section. The deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") on December 22, 2017, the Company had a net deferred tax asset totaling $7.6 million, based on the pre-Act federal tax rate of 35%. As a result of the Act's reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017, which resulted in a $3,060,000 reduction in its value. The reduction in the value of the net deferred tax asset has been recorded as additional income tax expense in 2017. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities, the Company considers 1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and 2) the financial condition of the issuer. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that it will not sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Company believes that any unrealized losses at December 31, 2017 and 2016 represent temporary impairment of the securities. 10 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT  The fair value of financial instruments is based upon quoted market prices, when available. For those instances where a quoted price is not available, fair values are based upon observable market based parameters as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation is applied consistently over time. In connection with the acquisition of North Penn Bancorp, Inc. in 2011, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $9.7 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of the net assets of the institution acquired at the date of acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc. ("Delaware") in 2016, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $1.6 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of the net assets of the institution acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. reSuLtS oF oPeratIonS – Summary Net income for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $8,198,000 which was $1,487,000 higher than the $6,711,000 earned in 2016. On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Act”) into law. Among other things, the Act reduced the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate effective January 1, 2018. Prior to December 22, 2017, the Company had a net deferred tax asset totaling $7.6 million, based on the pre-Act federal tax rate of 35%. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017, which resulted in a $3,060,000 reduction in its value. The reduction in the value of the net deferred tax asset has been recorded as additional income tax expense in 2017. The Company’s core operating results (which excludes the non-recurring tax expense related to the revaluation of the deferred tax asset) increased $4,547,000 to $11,258,000. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $1.31 for 2017 ($1.80 core operating results per diluted share) compared to $1.15 in 2016, after adjusting for the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017. The return on average assets for the year was 0.73% with a return on average equity of 7.04% compared to 0.74% and 6.17%, respectively, in 2016. Core operating results reflected a return on average assets of 1.02% for 2017 and a return on average equity of 10.39%. Net interest income increased $6,318,000 and other income improved $1,732,000 to offset the $1,746,000 increase in other expenses and the $4,667,000 increase in income tax expense. Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent, or fte) totaled $37,090,000 which was an increase of $6,751,000 from the 2016 total. Average loans outstanding increased $110.9 million in 2017 which resulted in an increase in fte interest income of $5,011,000. The increase in average loan balances was impacted by growth and the $112.1 million of loans acquired from Delaware in 2016. Total average securities increased $91.5 million in 2017 due primarily to the Delaware acquisition which contributed to a $2,160,000 increase in fte interest income. Average interest-bearing deposits with banks were $4.7 million in 2017 and interest income in this area increased $6,000. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $160.6 million due primarily to the acquisition and resulted in a $774,000 increase in interest expense. The cost of borrowed funds decreased $348,000 compared to the prior year due primarily to a $5.2 million decrease in average long-term borrowings and a 79 basis point decrease in the cost of the borrowings resulting from the maturity of higher costing borrowings. The resulting fte net interest spread decreased 2 basis points to 3.44% in 2017 as an 8 basis point reduction in the yield earned was only partially offset by a 6 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. Loans receivable increased $50.2 million from the prior year-end. Loan growth included a $34.7 million increase in commercial loans due primarily to a $22.7 million increase in commercial real estate loans. Retail loans increased $15.5 million in 2017 due to a $19.4 million increase in indirect auto and marine financing. Residential mortgage loans and construction loans decreased $3.9 million. Total non-performing loans increased from $1.9 million and 0.27% of total loans at the end of 2016 to $2.5 million, or 0.32% of total loans on December 31, 2017. Net charge-offs totaled $1,029,000 in 2017 which was a decrease from the $2,885,000 recorded in 2016. Based on management’s analysis, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to allocate $2,200,000 to the 11 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT allowance for loan losses in 2017 which resulted in an increase in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding to 1.00% compared to 0.91% on December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses represented 308% of total non-performing loans on December 31, 2017 compared to 335% as of December 31, 2016. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $6,911,000 compared to $5,179,000 in the prior year, an increase of $1,732,000. Gains on the sale of loans and investment securities increased $77,000 in the aggregate, while all other items of other income increased $1,655,000, net. Service charges and fees collected from the expanded customer base contributed to this increase. Other expenses were $24,870,000 in 2017 compared to $23,124,000 for the similar period in 2016, an increase of $1,746,000. Salaries and benefits costs increased $1,922,000 in 2017, while occupancy and furniture and equipment costs increased $736,000 due to costs related to the operation of twelve new Community Offices. Foreclosed real estate expense increased $484,000 in 2017, while all other operating expenses decreased $1,396,000, net. Included in the decreased expenses are $1.8 million of merger related expenses recognized in 2016. Income tax expense for the year totaled $6,551,000 which was an increase of $4,667,000 from the prior year. The increase includes a non-recurring charge of $3,060,000 related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate in 2017 was 44.4% compared to 21.9% in 2016. Excluding the revaluation charge, the effective tax rate in 2017 would have been 23.7%. The following table sets forth changes in net income (in thousands): Net income 2016 Net interest income Provision for loan losses Net gains on sales of loans and securities Other income Salaries and employee benefits Occupancy, furniture and equipment Foreclosed real estate owned Merger related Other expenses Income tax expense - ordinary income Income tax expense - net deferred tax asset revaluation Net income for 2017 $ $ 6,711 6,318 (150) 77 1,655 (1,922) (736) (484) 1,806 (410) (1,607) (3,060) 8,198 Net income for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6,711,000 which was $803,000 higher than the $5,908,000 earned in 2015. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.16 and $1.15, respectively, in 2016 after adjusting for the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017, compared to the split-adjusted $1.07 per share for basic and diluted in 2015. The return on average assets (ROA) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 0.74% and the return on average equity (ROE) was 6.17% compared to an ROA of 0.80% and an ROE of 5.83% in the prior year. The improvement in earnings over the prior year was the result of the benefits realized from the acquisition of Delaware on July 31, 2016. Net interest income increased $4,069,000 and the provision for loan losses decreased $2,530,000 in 2016 which offset increased expenses related to the acquisition, including $1,806,000 of merger costs. Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent, or fte) for 2016 totaled $30,339,000 which was an increase of $4,457,000 from the 2015 total. Average loans outstanding increased $96.9 million in 2016 which resulted in an increase in fte interest income of $4,476,000, while an 11 basis point decrease in the yield earned impacted earnings negatively by $672,000. The reduced yield was due to loan production at current market rates. Average loan balances and loan yields were also impacted by the $112.1 million of loans acquired from Delaware. Total average securities increased $55.6 million in 2016 due primarily to the Delaware acquisition which contributed 12 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT to a $1,023,000 increase in fte interest income. Average interest-bearing deposits with banks were $8.2 million in 2016 and interest income in this area increased $26,000. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $106.5 million due to the acquisition and resulted in a $182,000 increase in interest expense. The cost of borrowed funds increased $214,000 compared to the prior year due primarily to a $7.8 million increase in average long-term borrowings. The resulting fte net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 3.60% in 2016 as a 20 basis point reduction in the yield earned was only partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. Loans receivable increased $154.0 million in 2016 from the prior year-end due primarily to the $112.1 million of loans acquired from Delaware. Organic growth included a $22.8 million increase in commercial loans due primarily to an $18.6 million increase in commercial real estate loans. Residential mortgage loans and construction loans increased $5.4 million internally after the sale of $1.7 million in fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for the purpose of interest rate risk management. Consumer loans increased $13.7 million internally in 2016 due to a $16.5 million increase in indirect auto and marine financing. Total non-performing loans decreased from $7.1 million and 1.27% of total loans at the end of 2015 to $1.8 million, or 0.25% of total loans on December 31, 2016. The significant decrease includes the transfer of one loan relationship with a balance of $5,015,000 on December 31, 2015 to foreclosed real estate owned in 2016. Net charge-offs totaled $2,885,000 in 2016 which was a decrease from the $3,157,000 recorded in 2015. Based on management’s analysis, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to allocate $2,050,000 to the allowance for loan losses in 2016 which resulted in a decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding to 0.91% compared to 1.30% on December 31, 2015. The decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding reflects the impact of the loans acquired from Delaware with no allowance. Based on the improvement in credit quality, the allowance for loan losses represented 335% of total non-performing loans on December 31, 2016 compared to 102% as of December 31, 2015. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $5,179,000 compared to $4,699,000 in the prior year, an increase of $480,000. Gains on the sale of loans and investment securities decreased $392,000 in the aggregate, while all other items of other income increased $872,000, net. Service charges and fees collected from the expanded customer base contributed to this increase. Other expenses were $23,124,000 in 2016 compared to $17,100,000 for the similar period in 2015, an increase of $6,024,000. Salaries and benefits costs increased $2,393,000 in 2016 while occupancy and furniture and equipment costs increased $543,000 and all other operating expenses increased $3,088,000, net, due to costs related to the acquisition and the operation of twelve new community offices. Included in the increased expenses are $1.8 million of merger related expenses. Income tax expense for the year totaled $1,884,000 which was an increase of $252,000 from the prior year. The effective tax rate in 2016 was 21.9% compared to 21.6% in 2015. The following table sets forth changes in net income (in thousands): Net income 2015 Net interest income Provision for loan losses Net gains on sales of loans and securities Other income Salaries and employee benefits Occupancy, furniture and equipment Foreclosed real estate owned Merger related Other expenses Income tax expense Net income for 2016 13 $ $ 5,908 4,069 2,530 (392) 872 (2,393) (543) 231 (1,806) (1,513) (252) 6,711 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FINANCIAL CONDITION totaL aSSetS Total assets as of December 31, 2017, were $1.133 billion compared to $1.111 billion as of year-end 2016, an increase of $21.7 million. The increase in assets was primarily attributable to organic loan growth. LoanS receIvabLe As of December 31, 2017, loans receivable totaled $764.1 million compared to $713.9 million as of year-end 2016, an increase of $50.2 million. Commercial loans grew $34.7 million, while retail loans increased $15.5 million during the year. Residential real estate loans, which include home equity lending, totaled $235.8 million as of December 31, 2017, compared to $237.2 million as of year-end 2016, a decrease of $1.4 million. The Company does not originate any non-traditional mortgage products such as interest-only loans or option adjustable rate mortgages and has no sub-prime mortgage exposure. The Company evaluates sales of its long-term, fixed-rate residential loan production for interest rate risk management. No sales were initiated during 2017. In the current interest rate environment, the Company expects to evaluate selling mortgage loans in 2018. The Company’s home equity loan portfolio, which is included in residential real estate loans, increased $600,000 in 2017. Commercial loans consist principally of loans made to small businesses within the Company’s market and are usually secured by real estate or other assets of the borrower. Commercial real estate loans totaled $342.9 million as of December 31, 2017, increasing from $320.2 million as of December 31, 2016. The terms for commercial real estate loans are typically 15 to 20 years, with adjustable rates based on a spread to the prime rate or fixed for the initial three to five year period then adjusting to a spread to the prime rate. The majority of the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio is owner occupied and includes the personal guarantees of the principals. Commercial loans consisting principally of lines of credit and term loans secured by equipment or other assets increased $12.0 million to $97.5 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s indirect lending portfolio (included in consumer loans to individuals) increased $19.4 million to $60.8 million as of December 31, 2017. aLLowance For Loan LoSSeS and non-PerFormIng aSSetS 4 1 The allowance for loan losses totaled $7,634,000 as of December 31, 2017 and represented 1.00% of total loans receivable compared to $6,463,000 and 0.91% of total loans as of year-end 2016. Net charge-offs for 2017 totaled $1,029,000 and represented 0.14% of average loans compared to $2,885,000 and 0.46% of average loans in 2016. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and real estate owned as a result of foreclosure, which is held for sale. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes that a borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Commercial and real estate related loans are generally placed on non-accrual when interest is 90 days delinquent. When loans are placed on non-accrual, accrued interest is reversed from current earnings. 14 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT As of December 31, 2017, non-performing loans totaled $2,479,000 and represented 0.32% of total loans compared to $1,927,000 or 0.27% as of December 31, 2016. The increase in the level of non-performing loans includes one loan with a balance of $409,000 at December 31, 2017 which is guaranteed by the USDA on which full recovery is expected in 2018. Based on management’s analysis, the Company added $2,200,000 to the allowance for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $2,050,000 in 2016. Foreclosed real estate owned totaled $1,661,000 as of December 31, 2017 and $5,302,000 as of December 31, 2016. During 2017, six properties with a carrying value of $3.5 million were disposed of through sales. The Company recorded a net loss of $158,000 from the sale of the properties. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes a review of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of losses. Other factors considered in the analysis include: concentrations of credit in specific industries in the commercial portfolio, the local and regional economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, internal risk rating classifications, and growth in the portfolio. For loans acquired, including those that are not deemed impaired at acquisition, credit discounts representing the principal losses expected over the life of the loan are a component of the initial fair value. Subsequent to the purchase date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for credit losses for these loans is similar to originated loans; however, the Company records a provision for loan losses only when the required allowance exceeds any remaining credit discounts. The Company has limited exposure to higher-risk loans. The Company does not originate option ARM products, interest only loans, sub-prime loans or loans with initial teaser rates in its residential real estate portfolio. The Company has $9.2 million of junior lien home equity loans. For 2017, there were no charge-offs for this portfolio. As of December 31, 2017, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk profile to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in commercial rentals and the hospitality lodging industry. During 2017, the Company recognized an increase in its adversely classified loans due to the transfer of one loan relationship with a balance of $5.5 million to Special Mention during 2017. The reclassified loan is adequately collateralized and has made all timely payments, but was classified due to insufficient debt coverage. The Company assesses a loss factor against the classified loans, which is based on prior experience. Classified loans which are considered impaired are measured on a loan by loan basis. The Company values such loans by either the present value of expected cash flows, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 5 1 At December 31, 2017, the recorded investment in impaired loans, not requiring an allowance for loan losses was $1,247,000 (net of charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses of $277,000). There were no loans requiring an allowance. The recorded investment in impaired loans not requiring an allowance for loan losses was $2,624,000 (net of charge-offs of $831,000) and there were no loans requiring an allowance as of December 31, 2016. As a result of its analysis, after applying these factors, management considers the allowance as of December 31, 2017, adequate. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, that might be incurred in the future. 15 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s allowance for loan losses at the dates indicated: 2016 Year-ended December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands) 2014 2013 2017 $ 6,463 (83) (902) (28) (207) - (1,220) 6 159 - 26 - 191 2,200 7,634 $ 1.00% $ 0.14% 3.1x $ 1,706 277 — — — 1,983 496 2,479 1,661 4,140 $ Allowance balance at beginning of period Charge-offs: Real Estate loans Residential Commercial Construction Commercial loans Consumer loans Total Recoveries: Real Estate loans Residential Commercial Construction Commercial loans Consumer loans Total Provision expense Allowance balance at end of period Allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans outstanding Net loans charged off as a percent of average loans outstanding Allowance coverage of non-performing loans Non-accrual loans: Real Estate loans Residential Commercial Construction Commercial loans Consumer loans Total Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more Total non-performing loans Foreclosed real estate Total non-performing assets Non-performing loans to total loans Non-performing loans to total assets $ 7,298 $ 5,875 $ 5,708 $ 5,502 (123) (2,711) - (15) (102) (2,951) 6 15 - - 45 66 2,050 6,463 $ (224) (2,883) - - (91) (3,198) 20 - - - 21 41 4,580 7,298 (270) (1,196) - - (80) (1,546) (603) (1,488) (40) (4) (90) (2,225) - 2 - - 31 33 1,680 5,875 9 - - - 22 31 2,400 5,708 $ $ 0.91% 1.30% 1.17% 1.13% 0.46% 3.4x 0.60% 1.0x 0.30% 1.1x 0.45% 0.6x $ $ 1,136 762 28 — — 1,926 440 6,649 — 43 — 7,132 $ 1,675 3,921 — — 4 5,600 $ 1,704 7,843 — — — 9,547 1 — — — 1,927 5,302 7,229 $ 7,132 2,847 9,979 5,600 3,726 9,326 9,547 1,009 10,556 $ $ 0.27% 1.27% 1.12% 1.90% 0.17% 0.95% 0.79% 1.34% 0.32% $ 0.22% 0.37% The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets. 2017 2016 December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands) 2014 2013 Non-performing assets to total assets 0.65% 1.33% 1.31% 1.48% 16 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT SecurItIeS The securities portfolio consists of issues of United States Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal obligations, and corporate debt. The Company classifies its investments into two categories: held to maturity (HTM) and available for sale (AFS). The Company does not have trading securities. Securities classified as HTM are those in which the Company has the ability and the intent to hold the security until contractual maturity. As of December 31, 2017, there were no securities carried in the HTM portfolio. Securities classified as AFS are eligible to be sold due to liquidity needs or interest rate risk management. These securities are adjusted to and carried at their fair value with any unrealized gains or losses recorded net of deferred income taxes, as an adjustment to capital and reported in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2017, $281.1 million of securities were so classified and carried at their fair value, with unrealized losses, net of tax, of $3,041,000 included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2017, the average life of the portfolio was 5.5 years. The Company has maintained a relatively short average life in the portfolio in order to generate cash flow to support loan growth and maintain liquidity levels. Purchases for the year totaled $20.0 million, while maturities and cash flow totaled $26.9 million and proceeds from sales were $15.6 million. The purchases were funded principally by cash flow generated from the portfolio and excess overnight liquidity. The carrying value of the securities portfolio at December 31 is as follows: 2017 (dollars in thousands) 2016 U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities – government sponsored entities Equity securities – financial services Total Carrying Value 1,998 120,478 9,989 $ 148,656 - $ 281,121 % of portfolio 0.7% 42.9% 3.5% 52.9% -% 100.0% Carrying Value $ $ 1,997 125,101 10,112 164,930 424 302,564 % of portfolio 0.7% 41.4% 3.3% 54.5% 0.1% 100.0% The portfolio had no adjustable-rate instruments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The portfolio contained no private label mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), or trust preferred securities, and no off-balance sheet derivatives were in use. As of December 31, 2017, the portfolio did not contain any step-up bonds. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes pass-through bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s) issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). The Company evaluates the securities in its portfolio for other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) as fair value declines below cost. In estimating OTTI management considers (1) the length of time and the extent of the decline in fair value and (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. As of December 31, 2017, the Company held 201 investment securities in a loss position which had a combined unrealized loss of $5.4 million. Management believes that these losses are principally due to changes in interest rates and represent temporary impairment as the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. During 2017, the Company disposed of a small portfolio of equity securities of other financial institutions. No impairment charges have been recognized in 2017, 2016 or 2015. 17 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FaIr vaLue oF FInancIaL InStrumentS The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and determine fair value disclosures (see Note 14 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Approximately $281.1 million, which represents 24.8% of total assets at December 31, 2017, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. This amount consists entirely of the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio. The Company uses valuation methodologies involving market-based or market-derived information, collectively Level 1 and 2 measurements, to measure fair value. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for any instruments for the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company utilizes a third party provider to perform valuations of the investments. Methods used to perform the valuations include: pricing models that vary based on asset class, available trade and bid information, actual transacted prices, and proprietary models for valuations of state and municipal obligations. In addition, the Company has a sample of fixed-income securities valued by another independent source. The Company does not adjust values received from its providers, unless it is evident that fair value measurement is not consistent with the Company’s policies. The Company also utilizes a third party provider to provide the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $223,000 and $250,000, respectively. dePoSItS The Company, through the Community Offices of the Bank, provides a full range of deposit products to its retail and business customers. These products include interest-bearing and non-interest bearing transaction accounts, statement savings and money market accounts. Time deposits consist of certificates of deposit (CDs) with terms of up to five years and include Individual Retirement Accounts. The Bank participates in the Jumbo CD ($100,000 and over) markets with local municipalities and school districts, which are typically awarded on a competitive bid basis. The Company has no brokered deposits nor does it participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS). Total deposits as of December 31, 2017, totaled $929.4 million, increasing $4.0 million from year-end 2016. Deposit growth included a $13.7 million increase in non-interest bearing demand balances and a $24.7 million increase in certificates of deposit. The large increase in certificates of deposit includes deposits of local municipalities and school districts which were held in more liquid accounts at year-end 2016. The $34.4 million decrease in other interest-bearing deposits includes transfers to certificates of deposit and the sale of $13.7 million of deposits with a Community Office. Time deposits of $250,000 or more, which consist principally of school district funds, other public funds and short-term deposits from large commercial customers with maturities generally less than one year, totaled $92.5 million as of December 31, 2017, compared to $64.0 million at year-end 2016. These deposits are subject to competitive bid and the Company bases its bid on current interest rates, loan demand, investment portfolio structure and the relative cost of other funding sources. 18 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT As of December 31, 2017, non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $205.1 million compared to $191.5 million at year-end 2016. Cash management accounts in the form of securities sold under agreements to repurchase included in short-term borrowings, totaled $24.3 million at year end 2017 compared to $32.8 million as of December 31, 2016. These balances represent commercial and municipal customers’ funds invested in overnight securities. The Company considers these accounts as a source of core funding. market rISk Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of the ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates. Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet should be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of December 31, 2017, the level of net interest income at risk in a ± 200 basis points increase was within the Company’s policy limit of a decline less than 8% of net interest income. Imbalances in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflect interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indicators of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals. At December 31, 2017, the Bank had a positive 90-day interest sensitivity gap of $20.3 million or 1.8% of total assets. A positive gap indicates that the balance sheet has a higher level of rate-sensitive assets (RSA) than rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL) at the specific time interval. This would indicate that in an increasing rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets would increase faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90-day time frame. The level of RSA and RSL for an interval is managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio through purchases and sales, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract long or short-term time deposits, utilizing borrowings to fund loan growth, loan pricing to encourage variable-rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term, fixed-rate mortgages. The Company analyzes and measures the time periods in which RSA and RSL will mature or reprice in accordance with their contractual terms and assumptions. Management believes that the assumptions used are reasonable. The interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities could vary substantially if differing assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the analysis. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Interest rates may change at different rates changing the shape of the yield curve. The level of rates on the investment securities may also be affected by the spread relationship between different investments. Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed. Finally, the ability of borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. It should be noted that the operating results of the Company are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. 19 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT  The following table displays interest-sensitivity as of December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands): Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits Securities Loans Receivable Total Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) Non-maturity interest-bearing deposits Time Deposits Borrowings Total Rate Sensitive Liabilities (RSL) Interest sensitivity gap Cumulative gap RSA/RSL-cumulative As of December 31, 2016 Interest sensitivity gap Cumulative gap RSA/RSL-cumulative 3 Months or Less 3-12 Months $ 485 8,279 139,528 $ 148,292 $ — 21,899 163,270 $ 185,169 $ 60,057 41,652 26,256 $ 127,965 $ 59,377 144,100 16,661 $ 220,138 $ $ $ 20,327 20,327 115.9% (34,969) (14,642) 95.8% $ 34,669 34,669 126.1% (21,445) 13,224 103.9% $ $ $ $ $ $ 1-3 Years — 50,859 230,022 280,881 157,589 98,806 31,411 287,806 Over 3 Years Total $ — 200,084 231,272 $ 431,356 $ 485 281,121 764,092 $ 1,045,698 $ 126,929 35,736 4,147 $ 166,812 $ 403,952 320,294 78,475 $ 802,721 (6,925) (21,567) 96.6% $ 264,544 242,977 130.3% $ 242,977 (23,293) (10,069) 98.4% $ 230,044 219,975 127.5% $ 219,975 Certain interest-bearing deposits with no stated maturity dates are included in the interest-sensitivity table above. The balances allocated to the respective time periods represent an estimate of the total outstanding balance that has the potential to migrate either through withdrawal or transfer to time deposits, thereby impacting the interest-sensitivity position of the Company. The estimates were derived from a non-maturity deposit study which was prepared by an independent third party provider in 2017. The purpose of the study was to estimate the average lives of various deposit types and their pricing sensitivity to movements in market interest rates. LIQuIdIty Liquidity is the ability to fund customers’ borrowing needs and their deposit withdrawal requests while supporting asset growth. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include deposit generation, asset maturities, cash flow from payments on loans and securities and access to borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.7 million in the form of cash, due from banks, balances with the Federal Reserve Bank, and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $281.1 million, which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $297.8 million and represents 26.3% of total assets compared to $319.7 million and 28.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2016. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of December 31, 2017. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity position is adequate. The Company maintains established lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB), the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB) and other correspondent banks, which support liquidity needs. The total available under all the lines was $190.0 million, with $18.2 million outstanding at December 31, 2017 and $0 outstanding at December 31, 2016. The maximum borrowing capacity from FHLB was $369.6 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $35.9 million in term borrowings from the FHLB, compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2016. 20 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT oFF-baLance SHeet arrangementS The Company’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments, as of December 31, 2017 totaled $113.1 million. They consisted of $45.0 million of commitments for residential and commercial real estate, construction and land developments loans, $25.6 million in unused home equity lines of credit, $5.9 million in performance and standby letters of credit and $36.6 million in other unused commitments, principally commercial lines of credit. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates and many of them will expire without being drawn upon, management believes they do not represent any significant liquidity risk. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations. The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

Net interest income (fte) totaled $37,090,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $30,339,000 for 2016, an increase of $6,751,000. The resulting fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.44% and 3.56%, respectively, in 2017 compared to 3.46% and 3.60%, respectively, in 2016. Interest income (fte) for the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $41,170,000 compared to $33,993,000 in 2016. The fte yield on average earning assets was 3.95%, decreasing eight basis points from the 4.03% reported last year. The tax-equivalent yield on total loans remained stable at 4.50% in 2017, while average loans outstanding increased $110.9 million due to growth during the year and a full year’s effect on the loans acquired from Delaware in 2016, resulting in an increase in interest income (fte) from loans of $5.0 million. The yield on securities decreased 12 basis points in 2017 due primarily to a full year’s effect from the lower yielding portfolio acquired from Delaware in 2016. A $91.5 million increase in average securities outstanding offset the lower yield, and interest income (fte) from the portfolio improved $2.2 million. Interest expense was $4,080,000 in 2017 which resulted in an average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 0.51% compared to total interest expense of $3,654,000 in 2016 with an average cost of 0.57%. Total interest- bearing deposits cost 0.46% in 2017 which was equal to the cost in the prior year. Non-maturity deposit rates 21 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT remained fairly stable, but time certificates of deposit repriced to current market rates upon maturity and new growth was added, resulting in an increase in the rate paid from 0.94% in 2016 to 0.98%. Long-term borrowings repriced downward in 2017 reflecting the impact from lower cost borrowings originated in recent years. Net interest income represented 84.7% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. Net interest income (fte) totaled $30,339,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $25,882,000 for 2015, an increase of $4,457,000. The resulting fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.46% and 3.60%, respectively, in 2016 compared to 3.61% and 3.75%, respectively, in 2015. Interest income (fte) for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $33,993,000 compared to $29,140,000 in 2015. The fte yield on average earning assets was 4.03%, decreasing 20 basis points from the 4.23% reported last year. The low interest rate environment impacted the yield earned as new loan production was added at historically low rates. This impacted loan yields which earned 4.50% in 2016 compared to 4.61% in the prior year. The reduced yield was offset by a $96.9 million increase in average loans outstanding due primarily to loans acquired from Delaware, and interest income (fte) from loans increased $3.8 million. The yield on securities decreased 33 basis points in 2016 due primarily to the lower yielding portfolio acquired from Delaware. A $55.6 million increase in average securities outstanding offset the lower yield, and interest income (fte) from the portfolio improved $1.0 million. Interest expense was $3,654,000 in 2016 which resulted in an average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 0.57% compared to total interest expense of $3,258,000 in 2015 with an average cost of 0.62%. The continued low rate environment also impacted rates paid on deposits as the Company reduced rates paid on time deposits to market levels. Total interest-bearing deposits cost 0.46% in 2016 which was 6 basis points lower than the 0.52% cost in the prior year. Time certificates of deposit repriced to current market rates upon maturity and new growth was added at the reduced levels. Time deposits acquired from Delaware also impacted the cost of deposits. Long-term borrowings also repriced downward in 2016 reflecting the impact from low-cost borrowings originated in recent years. otHer Income 0 2 Other income totaled $6,911,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $5,179,000 in 2016, an increase of $1,732,000. Gains from the sales of loans and securities increased $77,000 from the prior year, while all other items of other income increased $1,655,000, net. The increase reflects a full year effect from the increased fees related to the Delaware acquisition. Other income totaled $5,179,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $4,699,000 in 2015, an increase of $480,000.

Among other things, the Act reduced the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate effective January 1, 2018. Prior to December 22, 2017, the Company had a net deferred tax asset totaling $7.6 million, based on the pre-Act federal tax rate of 35%. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017, which resulted in a $3,060,000 reduction in its value. The reduction in the value of the net deferred tax asset has been recorded as additional income tax expense in 2017. Excluding this one-time adjustment, the effective tax rate for 2017 would have been 23.7%. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $1,884,000 which resulted in an effective tax rate of 21.9% compared to $1,632,000 and 21.6% for 2015. caPItaL and dIvIdendS Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2017, was $115.7 million, compared to $111.1 million as of year-end 2016. The increase was due primarily to earnings retention net of a $5.4 million reduction resulting from cash dividends declared. As of December 31, 2017 the Company had a leverage capital ratio of 9.36%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.16% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.11% compared to 9.16%, 13.27% and 14.12%, respectively, at December 31, 2016. The Company’s common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol, NWFL. As of December 31, 2017, there were approximately 2,600 shareholders based on transfer agent mailings.

Tax-equivalent interest income and net interest income are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34% based on then-current federal tax rates. We believe the presentation of interest income and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. This annual report also references core operating results, core operating results per diluted share, core operating results return on average assets and core operating results return on average equity which are also a non-GAAP financial measure. Core operating results excludes the $3,060,000 of non-recurring additional income tax expense resulting from the revaluation of our net deferred tax asset as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We believe this presentation provides the reader with a more concise understanding of the impact from the required revaluation of deferred tax assets and facilitates period-to-period comparisons. Tax-equivalent net interest income is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on page 28. A reconcilement of core operating results is located below. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Wayne Bank (Bank) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank is a state-chartered bank located in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The Company derives substantially all of its income from bank-related services which include interest earnings on commercial mortgages, residential real estate mortgages, commercial and consumer loans, as well as interest earnings on investment securities and fees from deposit services to its customers. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Change in Accounting Principle Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) On February 14, 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized ASU 2018-02 - . This accounting standard allows companies to reclassify the "stranded" tax effect in accumulated other comprehensive income that resulted from the U.S. federal government enacted tax bill, H.R.1, an Act to Provide Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws. The Company has elected to early-adopt this accounting standard, which provides a benefit to the financial statements by more accurately aligning the impacts of the items carried in accumulated other comprehensive income with the associate tax effect. The adoption resulted in a one-time cumulative effect adjustment of $434,000 between Retained Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adjustment had no impact on Net Income or any prior periods presented. note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., Norwood Settlement Services, LLC and WTRO Properties. In June 2017, the Bank adopted a plan of dissolution for Norwood Settlement Services, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities, the determination of goodwill impairment and the fair value of financial instruments. Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within its markets in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York. Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer. 39 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Concentrations of Credit Risk The Bank operates primarily in Wayne, Pike, Lackawanna and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania and Delaware and Sullivan Counties, New York. Accordingly, the Bank has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in these areas whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy. These customers are also the primary depositors of the Bank. The Bank is limited in extending credit by legal lending limits to any single borrower or group of related borrowers. Securities Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using a method which approximates the interest method over the term of the security. Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. Regulatory Stock The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This regulatory stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Management evaluates the regulatory stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB. Management considers the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios, liquidity, and the fact that new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to FHLB stock as of December 31, 2017. 40 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Loans Receivable Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Troubled Debt Restructurings A loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) loan when the Company grants a concession to the borrower because of the borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider. Such concessions include the reduction of interest rates, forgiveness of principal or interest, or other modifications of interest rates that are less than the current market rate for new obligations with similar risk. Loans Acquired Loans acquired including loans that have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows) with no valuation allowance. Loans are evaluated individually to determine if there is evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining estimated life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized immediately as impairment. Any valuation allowances on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition. For purchased loans acquired that are not deemed impaired at acquisition, credit discounts representing the principal losses expected over the life of the loan are a component of the initial fair value. Loans may be aggregated and accounted for as a pool of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. Subsequent to the purchase date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for credit losses for these loans is similar to originated loans; however, the Company records a provision for loan losses only when the required allowance exceeds any remaining credit discounts. The remaining differences between the purchase price and the unpaid principal balance at the date of acquisition are recorded in interest income over the life of the loans. 41 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Mortgage Servicing Rights Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through the sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon a third party appraisal. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount. The Company’s loan servicing assets at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were not impaired. Total servicing assets included in other assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, were $200,000 and $232,000, respectively. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans were acquired with impairment or are the subject of a restructuring agreement. 42 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the respective assets estimated useful lives as follows: Years Buildings and improvements Furniture and equipment Transfers of Financial Assets 10 - 40 3 - 10 Transfers of financial assets, including loan and loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets. Foreclosed Real Estate Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses. Bank Owned Life Insurance The Company invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies or from death benefits realized is included in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Goodwill In connection with two acquisitions the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $11.3 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institutions acquired. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss. No impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Other Intangible Assets At December 31, 2017, the Company had other intangible assets of $462,000 which is net of accumulated amortization of $883,000. These intangible assets will continue to be amortized using the sum-of-the-years digits method of amortization over ten years. At December 31, 2016, the Company had other intangible assets of $612,000 which was net of accumulated amortization of $732,000. Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was $150,000, $122,000 and $105,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 43 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) As of December 31, 2017, the estimated future amortization expense for the core deposit intangible is as follows (in thousands): Income Taxes 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter $ $ 126 101 77 52 38 68 462 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Act”) into law. Among other things, the Act reduced the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 21%, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017, which resulted in a $3,060,000 reduction in its value. The reduction in the value of the net deferred tax asset has been recorded as additional income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The Company analyzes each tax position taken in its tax returns and determines the likelihood that the position will be realized. Only tax positions that are “more-likely-than-not” to be realized can be recognized in an entity’s financial statements. For tax positions that do not meet this recognition threshold, an entity will record an unrecognized tax benefit for the difference between the position taken on the tax return and the amount recognized in the financial statements. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2017 or 2016 or during the years then ended. No unrecognized tax benefits are expected to arise within the next twelve months. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less any unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. Treasury shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Employee Benefit Plans The Company The Company’s contributions are expensed as the cost is incurred. has a defined contributory profit-sharing plan which includes provisions of a 401(k) plan. 44 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) The Company has several supplemental executive retirement plans. To fund the benefits under these plans, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on the participants. The Company provides pension benefits to eligible employees. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum required contributions annually. Stock Option Plans The Company recognizes the value of share-based payment transactions as compensation costs in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The fair value of the share-based payments for stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used the modified-prospective transition method to record compensation expense. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method. Restricted Stock The Company recognizes compensation cost related to restricted stock based on the market price of the stock at the grant date over the vesting period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted stock under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Cash Flow Information For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and commitments to sell loans. Such financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheets when they become receivable or payable. Trust Assets Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary capacity for customers are not included in the financial statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust income is reported on the accrual method. Treasury Stock Common shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost. Comprehensive Income Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and defined benefit pension obligations, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 45 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Segment Reporting The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider and offers traditional banking related financial services to individual, business and government customers. Through its Community Office and automated teller machine network, the Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of safe deposit services. The Company also performs personal, corporate, pension and fiduciary services through its Trust Department. Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, mortgage banking and trust operations of the Company. As such, discrete information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful. Reclassification of Comparative Amounts Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current-year classifications. Such reclassifications had no material effect on net income or stockholders' equity. New Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Since the guidance scopes out revenue associated with financial instruments, including loan receivables and investment securities, we do not expect the adoption of the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Company’s revenue is not within the scope of Topic 606. However, we do expect that the standard will result in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated. Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic 606 In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, ( ). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update. Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, . This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions 46 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, . The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1 percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption. Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, . The standard provides that liabilities related to the sale of prepaid stored-value products within the scope of this Update are financial liabilities. The amendments in the Update provide a narrow-scope exception to the guidance in Subtopic 405-20 to require that breakage for those liabilities be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities, certain not-for- profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the 47 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) The amendments in this Update do not change the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; they simply clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09. ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle for revenue recognition in Topic 606. Instead, the amendments provide (1) more detailed guidance in a few areas and (2) additional implementation guidance and examples based on feedback the FASB received from its stakeholders. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) applying the guidance. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and Deferral of the Effective Date : any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, , defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently , which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, , which among other things clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion in Topic 606, as well as certain narrow aspects of Customers (Topic 606) Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with , which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any Deferral of the Effective Date other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses , defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. This Update is not expected on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after 48 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We 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, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, , which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows. Income Taxes (Topic 740) In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, , which requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this Update eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. That is, earlier adoption should be in the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, , which requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. 49 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, . This Update, among others things, clarifies that guarantee fees within the scope of Topic 460, Guarantees, (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the new revenue recognition guidance. For public entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the quarter and year beginning January 1, 2018. For all other entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the year ending December 31, 2019, and interim periods in 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, , which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, . To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. 50 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) . In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, The amendments in this Update clarify what constitutes a financial asset within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. The amendments also clarify that entities should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset that is promised to a counterparty and to derecognize each asset when the counterparty obtains control. There is also additional guidance provided for partial sales of a nonfinancial asset and when derecognition, and the related gain or loss, should be recognized. The amendments in this Update are effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2014-09. Therefore, for public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), and Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965) In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-06, . This Update relates primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust, which is a trust for which a regulated financial institution serves as a trustee or custodian and in which assets of more than one plan sponsored by a single employer or by a group of employers under common control are held. For each master trust in which a plan holds an interest, the amendments in this Update require a plan’s interest in that master trust and any change in that interest to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments, which supplements the existing requirement to disclose the master trusts balances in each general type of investments. There are also increased disclosure requirements for investments in master trusts. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, . The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. For other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. 51 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, . The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, , which affects any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This Update amends the definition of modification by qualifying that modification accounting does not apply to changes to outstanding share-based payment awards that do not affect the total fair value, vesting requirements, or equity/liability classification of the awards. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853) In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-10, , which applies to the accounting by operating entities for service concession arrangements within the scope of Topic 853. The amendments in this Update clarify that the grantor (government), rather than the third-party drivers, is the customer of the operation services in all cases for service concession arrangements within the scope of Topic 853. For an entity that has not adopted Topic 606 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update generally are the same as the effective date and with Customers (Topic 606)) transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by ASU 2014-09, Effective Date Revenue from Contracts Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the . ASU 2015-14, , deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815) In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, . The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity- classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down-round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities 52 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 2 - Summary oF SIgnIFIcant accountIng PoLIcIeS (contInued) Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options ), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down-round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down- round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part I of this Update should be applied either retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective or retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 850) In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, , the objective of which is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the amendments in this Update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application and disclosure of the hedge accounting guidance in current general accepted accounting principles. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any period after issuance. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this Update. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. Leases (Topic 842) In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, , which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity adopts Topic 842; otherwise, an entity should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. 53 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 3 - SecurItIeS The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of securities were as follows: December 31, 2017 Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Losses Gains Fair Value Amortized Cost AVAILABLE FOR SALE: U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities- government sponsored entities Total debt securities AVAILABLE FOR SALE: U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities- government sponsored entities Total debt securities Equity securities-financial services (In Thousands) $ 2,001 $ - $ (3) $ 1,998 120,000 10,068 1,535 16 (1,057) 120,478 (95) 9,989 152,901 17 (4,262) 148,656 $ 284,970 $ 1,568 $ (5,417) $ 281,121 Amortized Cost December 31, 2016 Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Losses Gains (In Thousands) Fair Value $ 2,005 $ - $ (8) $ 1,997 127,585 10,255 169,124 308,969 320 884 37 26 947 104 (3,368) 125,101 (180) 10,112 (4,220) (7,776) - 164,930 302,140 424 $ 309,289 $ 1,051 $ (7,776) $ 302,564 54 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 3 - SecurItIeS (contInued) The following tables show the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value aggregated by security type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position: December 31, 2017 U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities- government sponsored entities Less than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses $ - 17,310 - 22,250 39,560 $ $ $ (In Thousands) - (228) - $ 1,998 44,948 6,859 $ (3) (829) (95) $ 1,998 62,258 6,859 $ (3) (1,057) (95) (320) 125,846 (548) $ 179,651 (3,942) (4,869) 148,096 $ 219,211 (4,262) $ (5,417) $ Less than 12 Months Unrealized Fair Losses Value December 31, 2016 12 Months or More Unrealized Losses Fair Value (In Thousands) Total Fair Value Unrealized Losses U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities- government sponsored entities $ 1,997 90,109 6,895 $ (8) $ (3,362) (180) - 205 - 152,614 $ 251,615 (3,912) (7,462) $ 9,967 10,172 $ $ $ - (6) - $ 1,997 90,314 6,895 $ (8) (3,368) (180) (308) (314) 162,581 $ 261,787 (4,220) (7,776) $ The Company has 39 debt securities in the less than twelve month category and 162 debt securities in the twelve months or more category as of December 31, 2017. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses on securities reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. No other-than- temporary-impairment charges were recorded in 2017. Management believes that all other unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of December 31, 2017 by contractual maturity, are shown below.

There has been no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality. As of December 31, 2017, for loans that were acquired prior to 2017 with or without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation. For loans that were acquired in 2016 with or without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, there were no adjustments to the allowance for loan losses calculation. The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. The system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. The Company does not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring. 57 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 4 - LoanS receIvabLe and aLLowance For Loan LoSSeS (contInued) The following tables show the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated: December 31, 2017 Real Estate Loans Residential Commercial Construction Commercial Loans Consumer Loans Total Individually evaluated for impairment Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality Collectively evaluated for impairment Total Loans $ 23 $ 1,224 $ - $ - $ - $ 1,247 (In thousands) 833 341 - - - 1,174 234,903 341,369 17,228 97,461 70,953 761,914 $ 235,759 $ 342,934 $ 17,228 $ 97,461 $ 70,953 $ 764,335 December 31, 2016 Real Estate Loans Residential Commercial Construction Commercial Loans Consumer Loans Total (In thousands) Individually evaluated for impairment $ 23 $ 2,601 $ - $ - $ - $ 2,624 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality Collectively evaluated for impairment 821 565 - - - 1,386 236,333 317,021 19,709 85,508 51,524 710,095 Total Loans $ 237,177 $ 320,187 $ 19,709 $ 85,508 $ 51,524 $ 714,105 58 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 4 - LoanS receIvabLe and aLLowance For Loan LoSSeS (contInued) The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.

As of December 31, 2017, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $1.1 million and resulted in specific reserves of $0. During 2017, there were no new loan relationships identified as troubled debt restructurings, while one loan identified as a troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $322,000 as of December 31, 2016 was paid in full during 2017. During 2017, the Company recognized charge-offs totaling $55,000 on loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. As of December 31, 2016, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $1.5 million and resulted in specific reserves of $0. During 2016, there were no new loan relationships identified as troubled debt restructurings, while one loan with a balance of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2015 was transferred to Foreclosed Real Estate Owned during 2016 as a result of foreclosure on the property and one loan relationship with a balance of $82,000 as of December 31, 2015 was charged-off in 2016. During 2016, the Company recognized charge-offs totaling $2.6 million on loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $1,661,000 and $5,302,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, included within foreclosed real estate owned is $34,000 of consumer residential mortgages that were foreclosed on or received via a deed in lieu transaction prior to the year end. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on 15 consumer residential mortgage loans with an outstanding balance of $1,166,000. Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard unless full payment is expected. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category. To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,500,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance. 60 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 4 - LoanS receIvabLe and aLLowance For Loan LoSSeS (contInued) The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): December 31, 2017 Commercial real estate loans Commercial Total Pass $ 329,617 97,389 $ 427,006 Special Mention 9,680 16 9,696 $ $ $ Substandard 3,637 56 3,693 $ Doubtful - - - $ $ Loss - - - Total $ 342,934 97,461 $ 440,395 $ $ December 31, 2016 Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loss Total Commercial real estate loans Commercial Total $ 310,432 84,600 $ 395,032 $ $ 5,432 885 6,317 $ $ 4,323 23 4,346 $ $ - - - $ $ - - - $ 320,187 85,508 $ 405,695 For residential real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits.

The recorded investment in impaired loans requiring an allowance for loan losses was $0 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The specific reserve related to impaired loans was $0 for 2017 and 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the average recorded investment in these impaired loans was $1,232,000, and $2,696,000, respectively, and the interest income recognized on these impaired loans was $56,000 and $91,000, respectively. During the period ended December 31, 2017, the allowance for commercial real estate loans increased from $4,623,000 to $5,265,000. This $642,000 increase in the required allowance was due primarily to a $22,747,000 increase in loan balances and an increase in the amount of reserve required for classified loans. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the historical loss factor from 0.80% at December 31, 2016 to 0.74% on December 31, 2017. During the period ended December 31, 2016, the allowance for commercial real estate loans decreased from $5,506,000 to $4,623,000. This $883,000 decrease in the required allowance was due to a $1,610,000 decrease in the specific reserve component resulting from the transfer of an impaired loan with a specific reserve allowance of $1,596,000 at December 31, 2015 to foreclosed real estate during 2016. This reduction was partially offset by a $419,000 increase in the allowance for commercial real estate loans due to an increase in the historical loss factor from 0.70% at December 31, 2015 to 0.80% on December 31, 2016. Interest income that would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis under the original terms of the loans was $163,000, $163,000 and $515,000 for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. As of December 31, 2017, the highest concentrations are in commercial rentals and the hospitality lodging industry, with loans outstanding of $68.1 million, or 63.6% of bank capital, to commercial rentals, and $53.9 million, or 50.4% of bank capital to the hospitality and lodging industry. Charge-offs on loans within these concentrations were $762,000, $31,000 and $643,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company did not sell any residential mortgage loans in 2017. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $54,000 and $0, respectively, in 2016 and $113,000 and $0, respectively, in 2015.

The plan permits employees to make pre-tax contributions up to 15% of the employee’s compensation, not to exceed the limits set by the Internal Revenue Service. The amount of contributions to the plan, including matching contributions, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. All employees over the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the plan and receive Company contributions after one year of employment. Eligible employees are able to contribute to the Plan at the beginning of the first quarterly period after their date of employment. Employee contributions vest immediately, and any Company contributions are fully vested after five years. The Company’s contributions are expensed as the cost is incurred, funded currently, and amounted to $605,000, $538,000 and $445,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has several non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans for the benefit of certain executive officers and former officers. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, other liabilities include $3,360,000 and $3,575,000 accrued under the Plan. Compensation expense includes approximately $301,000, $174,000 and $122,000 relating to the supplemental executive retirement plan for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. To fund the benefits under this plan, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on participants in the non-qualified retirement plan. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the cash value of these policies was $37,060,000 and $36,133,000, respectively. The Company provides postretirement benefits in the form of split-dollar life arrangements to employees who meet the eligibility requirements. The net periodic postretirement benefit expense included in salaries and employee benefits was $168,000, $26,000 and $89,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. FASB authoritative guidance on accounting for deferred compensation and postretirement benefit aspects of endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance that provides a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. The life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee. Accordingly, the entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. This expense is included in the SERP plan expense for 2017 discussed above. If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the FASB authoritative guidance on employer’s accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was $1,142,000 and $976,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 67 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 8 - emPLoyee beneFIt PLanS (contInued) Through its acquisition of Delaware, the Company also has certain director fee deferral and continuation plans. These plans allow directors to defer current director fees and provide a benefit payment for a period of five to fifteen years. The Company expensed $9,000 and $1,000 under these plans in 2017 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the liability under these plans was $331,000 and $413,000, respectively. Certain key executives have change in control agreements with the Company. These agreements provide certain potential benefits in the event of termination of employment following a change in control. The Company participates in the Pentegra Mulitemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (EIN 13-5645888 and Plan #333) as a result of its acquisition of North Penn. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s Plan was 89.0% and 80.0% funded, respectively, and total contributions made are not more than 5% of the total contributions to the Plan. The Company’s expense related to the Plan was $46,000 in 2017, $54,000 in 2016 and $48,000 in 2015. During the plan years ending December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company made contributions of $46,000, $54,000 and $48,000, respectively. As a result of its acquisition of Delaware, the Company is a member of the New York State Bankers Retirement System. Substantially all full-time employees who were former employees of Delaware are covered under this defined benefit pension plan (the “Delaware Plan”).

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a $5,329,000 net operating loss carryforward that will begin to expire in 2035. A valuation allowance has not been established for deferred tax assets. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. Deferred tax assets are recorded in other assets.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total, Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 72 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 10 - reguLatory matterS and StockHoLderS’ eQuIty (contInued) As of December 31, 2017, the most recent notification from the regulators has categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table: To Be Well Capitalized under Prompt As of December 31, 2017: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Common Equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 capital (to average assets) As of December 31, 2016: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Common Equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 capital (to average assets) For Capital Adequacy Corrective Action Actual Purposes Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in Thousands) $113,091 14.11% 105,457 13.16 ≥$64,126 ≥48,095 ≥8.00% ≥6.00 ≥$80,158 ≥64,126 ≥10.00% ≥8.00 105,457 13.16 9.36 105,457 ≥36,071 ≥45,075 ≥4.50 ≥4.00 ≥52,103 ≥56,343 ≥6.50 ≥5.00 $107,765 14.12% 101,302 13.27 ≥$61,057 ≥45,793 ≥8.00% ≥6.00 ≥$76,321 ≥61,057 ≥10.00% ≥8.00 101,302 13.27 9.16 101,302 ≥34,344 ≥44,251 ≥4.50 ≥4.00 ≥49,609 ≥55,314 ≥6.50 ≥5.00 The Bank’s ratios do not differ significantly from the Company’s ratios presented above. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to new regulatory capital rules which, among other things, impose a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), set the minimum leverage ratio for all banking organizations at a uniform 4% of total assets, increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigned a higher risk-weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The new rules also require unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt out is exercised, which the Company and the Bank have done. The final rule limits a banking organization’s dividends, stock repurchases and other capital distributions, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above regulatory minimum risk-based requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirements will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer will be effective. The Company and the Bank are in compliance with their respective new capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, as of December 31, 2017. The Bank is required to maintain average cash reserve balances in vault cash or with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of these restricted cash reserve balances at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $1,111,000 and $1,099,000, respectively. 73 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 10 - reguLatory matterS and StockHoLderS’ eQuIty (contInued) Under Pennsylvania banking law, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2017, $64,661,000 of retained earnings were available for dividends without prior regulatory approval, subject to the regulatory capital requirements discussed above. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited as to the amount it may lend affiliates, including the Company, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. note 11 - Stock baSed comPenSatIon The Company’s shareholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2006 Stock Option Plan at the Annual Meeting on April 26, 2006. An aggregate of 412,500 shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Company were reserved for future issuance under the Plan. This includes up to 66,000 shares for awards to outside directors. Under this plan, the Company granted 11,135 options to employees in 2015, 18,750 options to employees in 2014, and 42,900 options, which included 6,000 options granted to outside directors in 2013. No options were granted under this plan in 2017 or 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there were no shares available for future awards under this plan. All share information has been restated to reflect the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017. At the Annual Meeting held on April 22, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. An aggregate of 375,000 shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Company were reserved for future issuance under the Plan. This includes up to 60,000 shares for awards to outside directors. The Plan also authorized the Company to award restricted stock to officers and outside directors, limited to 63,000 shares of restricted stock awards for officers and 12,000 shares of restricted stock awards for outside directors. Under this plan, the Company granted 44,150 shares in 2017 which included 26,750 options to employees, 9,000 shares of restricted stock to officers, 8,000 options to directors and 400 shares of restricted stock to directors. In 2016, the Company granted 36,675 shares which included 24,000 options to employees, 9,000 shares of restricted stock to officers and 3,675 shares of restricted stock to directors. In 2015, the Company granted 20,591 shares which included 10,616 options to employees, 6,375 shares of restricted stock to officers and 3,600 shares of restricted stock to directors. In 2014, the Company granted 13,950 shares, which included 4,200 shares of restricted stock to outside directors. All shares granted in 2014 were for restricted stock. The restricted shares vest over a five-year period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted stock under the company’s restricted stock plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of December 31, 2017, there were 259,635 shares available for future awards under this plan, which includes 219,510 shares available for officer awards and 40,125 shares available for awards to outside directors. Included in these totals are 28,875 shares available for restricted stock awards to officers and 125 shares available for restricted stock awards to outside directors. All share information has been restated to reflect the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $237,000 as of December 31, 2017, $93,000 as of December 31, 2016 and $71,000 as of December 31, 2015. Salaries and employee benefits expense includes $93,000, $71,000 and $66,000 of compensation costs related to options for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Compensation costs related to restricted stock amounted to $143,000, $89,000 and $55,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expected future compensation expense relating to non-vested restricted stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $744,000 and $579,000, respectively. Net income was reduced by $187,000, $130,000 and $92,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 74 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 11 - Stock baSed comPenSatIon (contInued) A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31 follows: 2017 Weighted Average Exercise Price 2016 Weighted Average Exercise Price Options Intrinsic Value Options Intrinsic Value Options Intrinsic Value 2015 Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding, beginning of year Granted Exercised Forfeited Outstanding, end of year Exercisable, end of year 225,669 34,750 (44,219) (3,475) $ 19.46 32.81 23.53 21.71 212,725 $ 20.76 $ 2,604,097 177,975 $ 18.41 $ 2,597,494 276,807 24,000 (46,234) (28,904) $ 17.94 22.37 18.23 18.57 294,720 21,750 (25,288) (14,375) $ 17.83 19.03 17.46 18.01 225,669 $ 19.46 $ 931,963 276,807 $ 17.94 $ 362,754 216,644 $ 17.59 $ 931,963 270,032 $ 17.85 $ 359,854 Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 2017 ranged from $16.65 to $32.81 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual life is 6.1 years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Dividend yield Expected life Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Weighted average fair value of options granted 2017 3.89% 10 years 29.11% 2.41% $6.83 3.93% 10 years 24.84% 2.44% $5.79 3.77% 10 years 24.35% 2.28% $4.89 The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Proceeds from stock option exercises totaled $1,040,000 in 2017. Shares issued in connection with stock option exercises are issued from available treasury shares. If no treasury shares are available, new shares are issued from available authorized shares. During 2017, all the shares issued in connection with stock option exercises, 44,219 shares in total, were issued from available treasury shares. All share information has been adjusted to reflect the 50% stock dividend declared in 2017. 75 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 11 - Stock baSed comPenSatIon (contInued) As of December 31, 2017, outstanding stock options consist of the following: Options Outstanding 9,075 17,325 15,675 20,625 29,700 1,650 3,000 26,925 14,250 16,500 23,250 34,750 212,725 Total Average Exercise Price $ 16.67 17.33 16.83 16.65 18.03 18.36 19.30 17.93 19.39 19.03 22.37 32.81 Remaining Life, Years Options Exercisable 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 5.8 6.0 6.9 7.9 9.0 9,075 17,325 15,675 20,625 29,700 1,650 3,000 26,925 14,250 16,500 23,250 10.0 - 177,975 Average Exercise Price $ 16.67 17.33 16.83 16.65 18.03 18.36 19.30 17.93 19.39 19.03 22.37 .0 - A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity and related information for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 2017 2016 Non-vested, beginning of year Granted Vested Forfeited Non-vested at December 31 note 12 - earnIngS Per SHare Weighted Average Number of Shares 28,035 9,400 (7,020) $ Grant Date Number of Shares Fair Value 20.64 32.81 20.37 Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value $ $ 19.21 22.37 19.23 19.20 20.64 20,715 12,675 (4,680) (675) 28,035 30,415 - $ 24.46 .0- The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share: Years Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Numerator, net income Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding Less: Weighted average unvested restricted shares Denominator: Basic earnings per share Weighted average shares outstanding Add: Dilutive effect of stock options Denominator: Diluted earnings per share Basic earnings per common share Diluted earnings per common share 76 (In Thousands, Except per Share Data) $ 8,198 6,238 (28) 6,210 6,210 61 6,271 1.32 1.31 $ $ $ 6,711 $ 5,908 5,816 (21) 5,795 5,795 33 5,828 5,523 (14) 5,510 5,523 14 5,537 $ $ 1.16 1.15 $ $ 1.07 1.07 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 12 - earnIngS Per SHare (contInued) Stock options which had no intrinsic value because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore would not be included in the diluted EPS calculation were 0, 24,000, and 21,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock which was $33.00, $22.09 and $19.17 at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. December 31, A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows: Commitments to grant loans Unfunded commitments under lines of credit Standby letters of credit 2017 2016 (In Thousands) $ 44,970 62,228 5,919 $ 113,117 $ $ 22,210 54,789 5,642 82,641 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit when deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. note 14 - FaIr vaLueS oF FInancIaL InStrumentS Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year end. 77 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 14 - FaIr vaLueS oF FInancIaL InStrumentS (contInued) The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for Level 2: identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or Level 3: indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity). An asset’s 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. For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurement Reporting Date using Description December 31, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Available for Sale: U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities-government sponsored entities Total available for sale December 31, 2016 $ 1,998 120,478 9,989 148,656 281,121 $ Available for Sale: U.S. Treasury securities States and political subdivisions Corporate obligations Mortgage-backed securities-government sponsored entities Equity securities-financial services Total available for sale $ $ 1,997 125,101 10,112 164,930 424 302,564 $ $ $ $ - - - - - - - - - 424 424 $ $ $ $ 1,998 120,478 9,989 148,656 281,121 1,997 125,101 10,112 164,930 - 302,140 $ $ $ $ - - - - - - - - - - - 78 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 14 - FaIr vaLueS oF FInancIaL InStrumentS (contInued) For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurement Reporting Date using Description December 31, 2017 Impaired Loans Foreclosed real estate December 31, 2016 Impaired Loans Foreclosed real estate Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ $ 1,247 1,661 2,624 5,302 $ $ $ $ - - - - - - - - $ $ 1,247 1,661 2,624 5,302 The following tables present additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value: December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands) Impaired Loans Impaired Loans Foreclosed real estate owned December 31, 2016 Impaired Loans Impaired Loans Forclosed real estate owned Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Estimate Valuation Techniques Unobservable Input Range (Weighted Average) $ $ 131 1,116 $ 1,661 $ $ $ 1,473 1,151 5,302 Appraisal of collateral(1) Appraisal adjustments(2) 10% (10%) 4-5.25% (5.11%) 0% Present value of future cash flows Loan discount rate Probability of default 0-42.60% (14.68%) Appraisal of collateral(1) Liquidation expenses(2) Appraisal of collateral(1) Appraisal adjustments(2) 10% (10%) Present value of future cash flows Appraisal of collateral(1) Loan discount rate Probability of default 4-5.25% (5.11%) 0% Liquidation expenses(2) 10% (1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.

Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost): The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values. Securities: The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable. Loans receivable (carried at cost): The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value): The Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $1,247,000 which included five loans which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $277,000 over the life of the loans. 80 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTnote 14 - FaIr vaLueS oF FInancIaL InStrumentS (contInued) As of December 31, 2016, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $2,624,000 which included seven loans which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $831,000 over the life of the loans. Mortgage Servicing Rights (generally carried at cost): The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is determined by estimating potential revenues and expenses of the various loan pools to arrive at a net cash flow stream, and then utilize present value methodologies on the cash flow stream at a current market yield. Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value): Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Restricted investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock (carried at cost): The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This regulatory stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Bank owned life insurance (carried at cost): The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the Bank owned life insurance. Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost): The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Deposit liabilities (carried at cost except certificates of deposit which are at fair value): The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Short-term borrowings (carried at cost): The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Other borrowings (carried at cost): Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party. 81 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 14 - FaIr vaLueS oF FInancIaL InStrumentS (contInued) Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost): Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (In thousands): Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2017 Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Securities Loans receivable, net Mortgage servicing rights Regulatory stock Bank owned life insurance Financial liabilities: Accrued interest receivable Deposits Short-term borrowings Other borrowings Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Accrued interest payable Commitments to extend credit and outstanding letters of credit Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Securities Loans receivable, net Mortgage servicing rights Regulatory stock Bank owned life insurance Accrued interest receivable $ 16,697 281,121 756,458 200 3,505 37,060 3,716 $ 16,697 281,121 756,092 223 3,505 37,060 3,716 $ 16,697 - - - 3,505 37,060 3,716 $ - 281,121 - - - - - $ - - 756,092 223 - - - 929,384 42,530 35,945 1,434 929,709 42,530 35,514 1,434 609,090 42,530 - 1,434 - - - - - - - - 320,619 - 35,514 - - Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2016 Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ 17,174 302,564 707,426 232 2,119 36,133 3,643 $ 17,174 302,564 716,661 250 2,119 36,133 3,643 $ $ 17,174 424 - - 2,119 36,133 3,643 $ - 302,140 - - - - - Financial liabilities: Deposits Short-term borrowings Other borrowings Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Accrued interest payable 925,385 32,811 32,001 1,069 925,561 32,811 31,863 1,069 629,829 32,811 - 1,069 Commitments to extend credit and outstanding letters of credit - - - - - - - - 82 - - 716,661 250 - - - 295,732 - 31,863 - - NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 15 – accumuLated otHer comPreHenSIve Income (LoSS) The following tables present the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands) by component, net of tax, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: Balance as of December 31, 2016 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification Amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income Total other comprehensive income Reclassification of certain income tax effects from other comprehensive income Balance as of December 31, 2017 Balance as of December 31, 2015 Other comprehensive loss before reclassification Amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income Total other comprehensive loss Balance as of December 31, 2016 Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale (4,437) $ securities (a) 2,127 (230) 1,897 (501) (3,041) $ Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities (a) 488 (4,740) $ (185) (4,925) (4,437) $ Unrealized gain (loss) 318 $ on pension liability (a) Total (a) (11) (4,119) 2,116 $ - (11) 67 374 (230) 1,886 (434) (2,667) $ Unrealized gain on pension liability (a) Total (a) - 318 - 318 318 $ $ 488 (4,422) (185) (4,607) (4,119) $ $ $ (a) All amounts are net of tax.

On July 31, 2016, Norwood Financial Corp. (the “Company”) closed on its acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc. (“Delaware”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 10, 2016, by and among the Company, Wayne Bank, Delaware and The National Bank of Delaware County (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Delaware was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the common stock of Delaware was converted into, at the election of the holder but subject to the limitations and allocation and proration provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement, either $16.68 in cash or 0.6221 of a share of the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company. In the aggregate, the merger consideration paid to Delaware shareholders consisted of approximately $3,860,000 in cash and 431,605 shares of Norwood common stock. Immediately following the Merger, The National Bank of Delaware County (“NBDC”) was merged with and into Wayne Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Wayne Bank as the surviving entity. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed the obligations of Delaware under the Indenture, dated as of October 31, 2007, by and between Delaware, as issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”) and Delaware’s Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, due January 1, 2038 (the “Debt Securities”) issued thereunder. The Debt Securities were issued by Delaware in connection with a private placement completed on October 31, 2007 of $8.0 million of trust preferred securities issued through the Delaware Bancshares Capital Trust I (the “Trust”). The proceeds from the initial sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities bore interest at a variable rate which reset quarterly at LIBOR plus 2.4%, and were redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of the Company, beginning on January 1, 2013 and on any January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 thereafter. The interest payments on the Debt Securities made by the Company were used to pay the quarterly distributions payable by the Trust to the holders of the trust preferred securities. On October 3, 2016, the Company redeemed the Debt Securities and the trust preferred securities in full. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were measured at estimated fair values. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the acquisition. Management measured loan fair values based on loan file reviews, appraised collateral values, expected cash flows, and historical loss factors of NBDC. The Company also recorded an identifiable intangible asset representing the core deposit base of NBDC based on management’s evaluation of the cost of such deposits relative to alternative funding sources. Management used significant estimates including the average lives of depository accounts, future interest rate levels, and the cost of servicing various depository products. Management used market quotations to determine the fair value of investment securities. The business combination resulted in the acquisition of loans with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration. NBDC loans were deemed impaired at the acquisition date if the Company did not expect to receive all contractually required cash flows due to concerns about credit quality. Such loans were fair valued and the difference between contractually required payments at the acquisition date and cash flows expected to be collected was recorded as a non-accretable difference. At the acquisition date, the Company recorded $1,410,000 of purchased credit-impaired loans subject to a non-accretable difference of $260,000. The method of measuring carrying value of purchased loans differs from loans originated by the Company (originated loans), and as such, the Company identifies purchased loans and purchased loans with a credit quality discount and originated loans at amortized cost. 84 NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTNORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP - 2017 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT note 16 – acQuISItIon oF deLaware bancSHareS, Inc. (contInued) NBDC’s loans without evidence of credit deterioration were fair valued by discounting both expected principal and interest cash flows using an observable discount rate for similar instruments that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. Additionally, consideration was given to management’s best estimates of default rates and payment speeds. At acquisition, NBDC’s loan portfolio without evidence of deterioration totaled $111,307,000 and was recorded at a fair value of $109,693,000.

Merger 14,400 1,616 $ The Company recorded goodwill and other intangibles associated with the purchase of Delaware Bancshares, Inc. totaling $1,616,000. Goodwill is not amortized, but is periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company did not recognize any impairment during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The carrying amount of the goodwill at December 31, 2017 and 2016, related to the Delaware acquisition was $1,616,000. Identifiable intangibles are amortized to their estimated residual values over the expected useful lives. The core deposit intangible recorded with the purchase of Delaware is being amortized over ten years. Such lives are also periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are required. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no such adjustments were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible which is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the useful life of such assets. The carrying amount of the core deposit intangible at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $337,000 and $416,000 with $112,000 and $34,000, respectively, of accumulated amortization as of that date.
