1Dear Shareholder,

We continue to monetize past growth initiatives and introduce new expansion plans to build out our 
footprint and expand non-spread income.  Our past branch expansion continues to pay dividends as we 
continue to grow consumer loans and commercial loans, which led to 11% net loan growth during 2018.   
We opened a new office in Snow Shoe, Pennsylvania in early 2018 and have had great growth in the 
market.   A new initiative was kicked off, United Insurance Solutions, LLC (“UIS“).  We sold our first 
policy in the middle of 2018 and ended the year with over 225 policies sold.  We see this as a strong focus 
to build non-interest income and provide an affordable solution to our customer base for property and 
casualty and other insurance needs.    Our growth in monetizing past expansion resulted in net income 
in excess of $14.7 million.  Looking into 2019, we will remain focused on gathering high-quality assets, 
growing the deposit base, and increasing non-interest income through UIS, our investment advisory team 
the Comprehensive Financial Group, and our mortgage department.   We also have two new branches in 
the Luzerne market, Pittston and Forty Fort, which will complement their existing footprint and provide 
additional options to their customer base for their banking needs.

BUSINESS

A. General Development of Business and History

PART I

On January 7, 1983, Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania  as  a  bank  holding  company.    In  connection  with  the  organization  of  the  Corporation,  Jersey  Shore  State  Bank 
("JSSB"), a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  On June 1, 2013, the 
Corporation acquired Luzerne Bank ("Luzerne") with Luzerne operating as a subsidiary of the Corporation (JSSB and Luzerne 
are  collectively  referred  to  as  the  "Banks").   The  Corporation’s  two  other  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  are Woods  Real  Estate 
Development Company, Inc. and Woods Investment Company, Inc.  The Corporation is also a partner in United Insurance Solutions, 
LLC.  The Corporation’s business has consisted primarily of managing and supervising the Banks, and its principal source of 
income has been dividends paid by the Banks and Woods Investment Company, Inc.

The Banks are engaged in commercial and retail banking which includes the acceptance of time, savings, and demand deposits, 
the funding of commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans, and safe deposit services.  Utilizing a branch office network, ATMs, 
Internet, and telephone banking delivery channels, the Banks deliver their products and services to the communities they reside 
in.

In October 2000, JSSB acquired The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”). The M Group, 
which operates as a subsidiary of JSSB, offers insurance and securities brokerage services. Securities are offered by The M Group 
through Voya Financial, a registered broker-dealer.

Neither the Corporation nor the Banks anticipate that compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have any material 
effect on capital expenditures, earnings, or their competitive position.  The Banks are not dependent on a single customer or a few 
customers, the loss of whom would have a material effect on the business of the Banks.

JSSB employed 251 persons, Luzerne employed 73 persons, and The M Group employed 4 persons as of December 31, 2018 in 
either a full-time or part-time capacity.  The Corporation does not have any employees.  The principal officers of the Banks also 
serve as officers of the Corporation.

Woods Investment Company, Inc., a Delaware holding company, maintains an investment portfolio that is managed for total return 
and to fund dividend payments by the Corporation.

Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc. serves the Corporation through its acquisition and ownership of certain properties 
utilized by the Bank.

United Insurance Solutions, LLC offers property and casualty and auto insurance products within the Corporation's market footprint.

We post publicly available reports required to be filed with the SEC on our website, www.pwod.com, as soon as reasonably 
practicable after filing such reports with the SEC.  The required reports are available free of charge through our website.  Information 
available on our website is not part of or incorporated by reference into this Report or any other report filed by this Corporation 
with the SEC.

B. Regulation and Supervision

The Corporation is a registered bank holding company and, as such is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company 
Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”) and to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System (the “FRB”).  During 2017, the Corporation elected to become a financial holding company under the BHCA and the 
regulations of the FRB.  The Banks are also subject to the supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
(the “FDIC”), as their primary federal regulator and as the insurer of the Banks' deposits.  The Banks are also regulated and 
examined by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Department”).

The insurance activities of The M Group are subject to regulation by the insurance departments of the various states in which The 
M Group conducts business, including principally the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance.  The securities brokerage activities 
of The M Group are subject to regulation by federal and state securities commissions.

The insurance activities of United Insurance Solutions, LLC are subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance. 

12 
 
 
 
 
The FRB has issued regulations under the BHCA that require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and 
managerial strength to its subsidiary banks.  As a result, the FRB, pursuant to such regulations, may require the Corporation to 
stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to the Banks during periods of financial stress or adversity.  The 
BHCA requires the Corporation to secure the prior approval of the FRB before it can acquire all or substantially all of the assets 
of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of 5% or more of any voting shares of any bank.  Such a transaction would also 
require approval of the Department.

A bank holding company is prohibited under the BHCA from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of, more than 
5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities unless the FRB, by order or regulation, has found such 
activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  Under the BHCA, 
the FRB has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary 
(other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the FRB’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk 
to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted revisions to the agencies’ capital adequacy guidelines and prompt 
corrective action rules, which were designed to enhance such requirements and implement the revised standards of the Basel 
Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly referred to as Basel III. The final rules generally implement higher minimum 
capital requirements, add a new common equity tier 1 capital requirement, and establish criteria that instruments must meet to be 
considered common equity tier 1 capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital. The current minimum capital requirements are 
a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered “well capitalized”), a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%; (8.0% to be 
considered “well capitalized”), and a total capital ratio of 8.0% (10.0% to be considered “well capitalized”).  In order to avoid 
limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), 
as of January 1, 2019, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity tier 1 capital 
above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. 

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB requires each bank holding company to comply with the leverage ratio, 
under which the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets of 
4.0% (5.0% to be considered "well capitalized"). The Banks are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.

Dividends

Federal and state laws impose limitations on the payment of dividends by the Banks. The Pennsylvania Banking Code and the 
policies of the FDIC and the Department generally encourage the Banks to pay dividends from current net income and retained 
earnings. The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of capital funds for payment of dividends by the Banks to their 
additional paid-in capital.

In addition to the dividend restrictions described above, the banking regulators have the authority to prohibit or to limit the payment 
of dividends by the Banks if, in the banking regulator’s opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound 
practice in light of the financial condition of the Banks.

Under Pennsylvania law, the Corporation may not pay a dividend, if, after giving effect thereto, it would be unable to pay its debts 
as they become due in the usual course of business and, after giving effect to the dividend, the total assets of the Corporation 
would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at 
the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose rights are superior to those receiving 
the dividend.

It is also the policy of the FRB that a bank holding company generally may only pay dividends on common stock out of net income 
available to common shareholders over the past twelve months and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention appears 
consistent with a bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. A bank holding company 
also should not maintain a dividend level that places undue pressure on the capital of such institution’s subsidiaries, or that may 
undermine the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength for such subsidiaries.

C. Regulation of the Banks

The Banks are highly regulated by the FDIC and the Department.  The laws that such agencies enforce limit the specific types of 
businesses in which the Banks may engage, and the products and services that the Banks may offer to customers.  Generally, these 
limitations are designed to protect the insurance fund of the FDIC and/or the customers of the Banks, and not the Banks or their 
shareholders.  From time to time, various types of new federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in additional 
regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of the Banks. It cannot be predicted whether any such legislation will be adopted 

13 
 
 
or how such legislation would affect business of the Banks.  As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking 
activities in the United States, the Banks' business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal legislation and regulations 
that may increase the costs of doing business.  Some of the major regulatory provisions that affect the business of the Banks are 
discussed briefly below.

Prompt Corrective Action

The FDIC has specified the levels at which an insured institution will be considered “well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” 
“undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” In the event an institution’s capital deteriorates to the “undercapitalized” 
category or below, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and FDIC regulations prescribe an increasing amount of 
regulatory intervention, including: (1) the institution of a capital restoration plan by a bank and a guarantee of the plan by a parent 
institution and liability for civil money damages for failure to fulfill its commitment on that guarantee; and (2) the placement of 
a  hold  on  increases  in  assets,  number  of  branches,  or  lines  of  business.   If  capital  has  reached  the  significantly  or  critically 
undercapitalized  levels,  further  material  restrictions  can  be  imposed,  including  restrictions  on  interest  payable  on  accounts, 
dismissal of management and (in critically undercapitalized situations) appointment of a receiver.  For well-capitalized institutions, 
the FDIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where the institution is deemed to be engaging in unsafe or unsound 
practices or receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity.

Deposit Insurance

The FDIC maintains the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium.  The FDIC 
has set the amount of deposits it insures at $250,000. 

As mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the assessment base 
that the FDIC uses to calculate assessment premiums is a bank’s average assets minus average tangible equity.  The range of 
assessment rates is a low of 2.5 basis points to a high of 45 basis points, per $100 of assets.

The FDIC is required under the Dodd-Frank Act to establish assessment rates that will allow the DIF to achieve a reserve ratio of 
1.35% of insured deposits by September 2020.  In addition, the FDIC has established a “designated reserve ratio” of 2.0%, a target 
ratio that, until it is achieved, will not likely result in the FDIC reducing assessment rates.  In attempting to achieve the mandated 
1.35% ratio, the FDIC is required to implement assessment formulas that charge banks over $10 billion in asset size more than 
banks under that size.  Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC is authorized to make reimbursements from the insurance fund to 
banks if the reserve ratio exceeds 1.50%, but the FDIC has adopted the “designated reserve ratio” of 2.0% and has announced that 
any reimbursements from the fund are indefinitely suspended.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

The Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (the “FHLB”), which is one of 12 regional Federal Home 
Loan Banks. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region.  It is 
funded primarily from funds deposited by member institutions and proceeds from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal 
Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by 
the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank.  At December 31, 2018, the Banks had $138,625,000 in FHLB advances.

As a member, the Banks are required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB.  The amount of required stock varies based on 
the FHLB products utilized by the Banks and the amount of the products utilized.  At December 31, 2018, the Banks had $18,357,000 
in stock of the FHLB, which was in compliance with this requirement.

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018

On May 24, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), amended 
certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as certain other statutes administered by the federal banking agencies.  Some 
of the key provisions of the Regulatory Relief Act as it relates to community banks and bank holding companies include: (i) 
designating mortgages held in portfolio as “qualified mortgages” for banks with less than $10 billion in assets, subject to certain 
documentation and product limitations; (ii) exempting banks with less than $10 billion in assets (and total trading assets and trading 
liabilities of 5% or less of total assets) from Volcker Rule requirements relating to proprietary trading; (iii) simplifying capital 
calculations for banks with less than $10 billion in assets by requiring federal banking agencies to establish a community bank 
leverage ratio of tangible equity to average consolidated assets of not less than 8% or more than 10%, and provide that banks that 
maintain  tangible  equity  in  excess  of  such  ratio  will  be  deemed  to  be  in  compliance  with  risk-based  capital  and  leverage 
requirements; (iv) assisting smaller banks with obtaining stable funding by providing an exception for reciprocal deposits from 

14FDIC restrictions on acceptance of brokered deposits; (v) raising the eligibility for use of short-form Call Reports from $1 billion 
to $5 billion in assets; (vi) clarifying definitions pertaining to high volatility commercial real estate loans (HVCRE), which require 
higher capital allocations, so that only loans with increased risk are subject to higher risk weightings; and (vii) changing the 
eligibility for use of the small bank holding company policy statement from institutions with under $1 billion in assets to institutions 
with under $3 billion in assets.  

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

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

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

Other Legislation

The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, deposit, 
investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act, among 
other things:  (i)  expands the authority of the FRB to examine bank holding companies and their subsidiaries, including insured 
depository institutions; (ii) requires a bank holding company to be well capitalized and well managed to receive approval of an 
interstate bank acquisition; (iii) provides mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to pay and making more 
loans subject to provisions for higher-cost loans and new disclosures; (iv)  creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 
(the “CFPB”) that has rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and has broad 
powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws; (v) introduces additional corporate governance and executive 
compensation requirements on public companies subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, such as the Corporation; 
(vi) permits FDIC-insured banks to pay interest on business demand deposits; (vii) requires that holding companies and other 
companies that directly or indirectly control an insured depository institution serve as a source of financial strength to that 
institution; (viii) makes permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance at all insured depository institutions; 
and (ix) permits national and state banks to establish interstate branches to the same extent as the branch host state allows 
establishment of in-state branches.

The  Dodd-Frank Act  also  created  a  new  Consumer  Financial  Protection  Bureau  with  broad  powers  to  supervise  and  enforce 
consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer 
protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” 
acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and 
savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets such as 
the Banks will continue to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws by their primary bank regulators. The Dodd-Frank 
Act also weakens the federal preemption rules that have been applicable for national banks and federal savings associations, and 
gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, a financial institution is required to have systems in place to detect certain types of transactions, 
based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required to report cash transactions involving 

15more than $10,000 to the United States Treasury. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity reports 
for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and that the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect, involves 
illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the law, or has no lawful purpose. 

Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, 
commonly referred to as the “USA PATRIOT Act,” financial institutions are subject to prohibitions against specified financial 
transactions and account relationships, as well as enhanced due diligence standards intended to detect, and prevent, the use of the 
United States financial system for money laundering and terrorist financing activities. The Patriot Act requires financial institutions, 
including banks, to establish anti-money laundering programs, including employee training and independent audit requirements, 
meet  minimum  specified  standards,  follow  minimum  standards  for  customer  identification  and  maintenance  of  customer 
identification records.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to enhance penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded 
companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures under the federal securities 
laws.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies, including the Corporation, that file or are required to file periodic 
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.  The 
legislation includes provisions, among other things, governing the services that can be provided by a public company’s independent 
auditors and the procedures for approving such services, requiring the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer to 
certify certain matters relating to the company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act, requiring expedited filings of reports by 
insiders of their securities transactions and containing other provisions relating to insider conflicts of interest, increasing disclosure 
requirements relating to critical financial accounting policies and their application, increasing penalties for securities law violations, 
and creating a new public accounting oversight board, a regulatory body subject to SEC jurisdiction with broad powers to set 
auditing, quality control, and ethics standards for accounting firms.  In response to the legislation, the national securities exchanges 
and NASDAQ, adopted new rules relating to certain governance matters, including the independence of members of a company’s 
audit committee as a condition to listing or continued listing.

Congress is often considering financial industry legislation, and the federal banking agencies routinely propose new regulations.  
The Corporation cannot predict how any new legislation, or new rules adopted by federal or state banking agencies, may affect 
the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in the future.

Environmental Laws

Environmentally related hazards have become a source of high risk and potential liability for financial institutions relating to their 
loans. Environmentally contaminated properties owned by an institution’s borrowers may result in a drastic reduction in the value 
of the collateral securing the institution’s loans to such borrowers, high environmental clean up costs to the borrower affecting its 
ability to repay the loans, the subordination of any lien in favor of the institution to a state or federal lien securing clean up costs, 
and liability to the institution for clean up costs if it forecloses on the contaminated property or becomes involved in the management 
of the borrower. The Corporation is not aware of any borrower who is currently subject to any environmental investigation or 
clean up proceeding which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the 
Corporation.

Effect of Government Monetary Policies

The earnings of the Corporation are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies 
of the United States Government and its agencies.   The monetary policies of the FRB have had, and will likely continue to have, 
an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in 
order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The FRB has a major effect upon the levels of bank loans, 
investments, and deposits through its open market operations in the United States Government securities and through its regulation 
of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowings by member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank 
deposits.  It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BANKS

History and Business

JSSB was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a state bank in 1934 and became a wholly owned 
subsidiary  of  the  Corporation  on  July 12,  1983.   As  of  December 31,  2018,  JSSB  had  total  assets  of  $1,251,871,000;  total 
shareholders’ equity of $90,896,000; and total deposits of $862,166,000.  JSSB's deposits are insured by the FDIC for the maximum 
amount provided under current law.

16 
 
 
Luzerne was acquired by the Corporation on June 1, 2013.  As of December 31, 2018, Luzerne had total assets of $439,086,000; 
total shareholders’ equity of $49,580,000; and total deposits of $358,753,000.  Luzerne's deposits are insured by the FDIC for the 
maximum amount provided under current law.

The Banks engage in business as commercial banks, doing business at locations in Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Montour, Union 
and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania.  The Banks offer insurance, securities brokerage services, annuity and mutual fund investment 
products, and financial planning through the M Group.

Services offered by the Banks include accepting time, demand and savings deposits including Super NOW accounts, statement 
savings accounts, money market accounts, and fixed rate certificates of deposit.  Their services also include making secured and 
unsecured business and consumer loans that include financing commercial transactions as well as construction and residential 
mortgage loans and revolving credit loans with overdraft protection.

The  Banks'  loan  portfolio  mix  can  be  classified  into  three  principal  categories:  commercial  and  agricultural,  real  estate,  and 
consumer.  Real estate loans can be further segmented into residential, commercial, and construction.  Qualified borrowers are 
defined by our loan policy and our underwriting standards. Owner provided equity requirements range from 0% to 35%, depending 
on the collateral offered for the loan.  Terms are generally restricted to 30 years or less with the exception of construction and land 
development,  which  are  generally  limited  to  one  and  five  years,  respectively.   Real  estate  appraisals,  property  construction 
verifications, and site visitations comply with our loan policy and with industry regulatory standards.

Prospective residential mortgage customer’s repayment ability is determined from information contained in the application and 
recent income tax returns, or other verified income sources.  Emphasis is on credit, employment, income, and residency verification.  
Broad hazard insurance is always required and flood insurance where applicable.  In the case of construction mortgages, builders 
risk insurance is requested.

Agricultural loans for the purchase or improvement of real estate must meet the Banks' real estate underwriting criteria.  Agricultural 
loans made for the purchase of equipment are usually payable in five years, but never more than ten, depending upon the useful 
life of the purchased asset. Minimum borrower equity ranges from 0% to 35% depending on the purpose.  Livestock financing 
criteria depends upon the nature of the operation. Agricultural loans are also made for crop production purposes.  Such loans are 
structured to repay within the production cycle and not carried over into a subsequent year.

Commercial loans are made for the acquisition and improvement of real estate, purchase of equipment, and for working capital 
purposes on a seasonal or revolving basis.  General purpose working capital loans are also available with repayment expected 
within one year.  Equipment loans are generally amortized over three to ten years. Insurance coverage with the Banks as loss payee 
is required, especially in the case where the equipment is rolling stock.  It is also a general policy to collateralize non-real estate 
loans with the asset purchased and, depending upon loan terms, junior liens are filed on other available assets.  Financial information 
required on all commercial mortgages includes the most current three years balance sheets and income statements and projections 
on income to be developed through the project. In the case of corporations and partnerships, the principals are often asked to 
personally guaranty the entity’s debt.

Seasonal and revolving lines of credit are offered for working capital purposes.  Collateral for such a loan may vary but often 
includes  the  pledge  of  inventory  and/or  receivables.   Drawing  availability  is  usually  50%  of  inventory  and  80%  of  eligible 
receivables.  Eligible receivables are defined as invoices less than 90 days delinquent.  Exclusive reliance is very seldom placed 
on such collateral; therefore, other lienable assets are also taken into the collateral pool.  Where reliance is placed on inventory 
and accounts receivable, the applicant must provide financial information including agings on a specified basis.  In addition, the 
guaranty of the principals is usually obtained.

Letter of credit availability is usually limited to standby or performance letters of credit where the customer is well known to the 
Banks.  The credit criteria is the same as that utilized in making a direct loan. Collateral is obtained in most cases.

Consumer loan products include residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines, automobile financing, personal loans and 
lines of credit, overdraft and check lines.  Our policy includes standards used in the industry on debt service ratios and terms are 
consistent with prudent underwriting standards and the use of proceeds. Verifications are made of employment and residency, 
along with credit history.

Second mortgages are confined to equity borrowing and home improvements.  Terms are generally fifteen years or less.  Loan to 
collateral value criteria is 90% or less and verifications are made to determine values.   Automobile financing is generally restricted 
to five years and done on both an indirect and direct basis.  The Banks, as a practice, do not floor plan and therefore do not discount 

17 
 
 
 
 
 
 
dealer paper.  Small loan requests are to accommodate personal needs such as debt consolidation or the purchase of small appliances.  
Overdraft check lines are usually limited to $5,000 or less.

The Banks' investment portfolios are analyzed and priced on a monthly basis. Investments are made in U.S. Treasuries, U.S. 
Agency issues, bank qualified tax-exempt municipal bonds, taxable municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and corporate stocks which 
consist of Pennsylvania bank stocks.  Bonds with BBB or better ratings are used, unless a local issue is purchased that has a lesser 
or no rating.  Factors taken into consideration when investments are purchased include liquidity, the Corporation’s tax position, 
tax equivalent yield, third party investment ratings, and the policies of the Asset/Liability Committee.

The  banking  environment  in  Lycoming,  Clinton,  Centre,  Montour,  Union  and  Luzerne  Counties,  Pennsylvania  is  highly 
competitive.  The Banks operate twenty-six full service offices in these markets and compete for loans and deposits with numerous 
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and other financial institutions. The economic base of the region is developed 
around  small  business,  health  care,  educational  facilities  (college  and  public  schools),  light  manufacturing  industries,  and 
agriculture.

The Banks have a relatively stable deposit base and no material amount of deposits is obtained from a single depositor or group 
of depositors, excluding public entities that account for approximately 11% of total deposits.  Although the Banks have regular 
opportunities to bid on pools of funds of $100,000 or more in the hands of municipalities, hospitals, and others, it does not rely 
on these monies to fund loans or intermediate or longer-term investments.

The Banks have not experienced any significant seasonal fluctuations in the amount of deposits.  The Banks have experienced an 
outflow of deposits related to municipalities and school districts due to the ongoing Commonwealth of Pennsylvania budget 
impasse.

Supervision and Regulation

As referenced elsewhere, the banking business is highly regulated, and the Banks are only able to engage in business activities, 
and to provide products and services, that are permitted by applicable law and regulation.  In addition, the earnings of the Banks 
are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities including the FDIC and the FRB.  An important function of the FRB is to 
regulate the money supply and interest rates.  Among the instruments used to implement these objectives are open market operations 
in U.S. Government Securities, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and limitations on interest rates 
that member banks may pay on time and savings deposits.  These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall 
growth and distribution of bank loans, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The policies and regulations of the FRB have had and will probably continue to have a significant effect on the Banks' deposits, 
loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are expected to affect the Banks' operation in the 
future. The effect of such policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of the Banks cannot accurately be predicted.

ITEM 1A  RISK FACTORS

The following sets forth several risk factors that may affect the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

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

Our income and cash flows and the value of our assets depend to a great extent on the difference between the interest rates we 
earn on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates we pay on interest-bearing liabilities 
such as deposits and borrowings.  These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond our control, including general 
economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Board of Governors of 
the Federal Reserve System. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence not only the interest 
we receive on our loans and investment securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings but will also 
affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and the value of our investment portfolio.  If the rate of interest we pay on 
our deposits and other borrowings increases more than the rate of interest we earn on our loans and other investments, our net 
interest income, and therefore our earnings, could be adversely affected.  Our earnings also could be adversely affected if the rates 
on our loans and other investments fall more quickly than those on our deposits and other borrowings.

18 
 
 
Economic conditions either nationally or locally in areas in which our operations are concentrated may adversely affect 
our business.

Deterioration in local, regional, national, or global economic conditions could cause us to experience a reduction in deposits and 
new loans, an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans, and a reduction in the value of the collateral securing 
their  loans,  all  of  which  could  adversely  affect  our  performance  and  financial  condition.  Unlike  larger  banks  that  are  more 
geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services locally. Therefore, we are particularly vulnerable to adverse 
local economic conditions.

Our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient 
to absorb actual losses or if we are required to increase our allowance.

Despite our underwriting criteria, we may experience loan delinquencies and losses.  In order to absorb losses associated with 
nonperforming loans, we maintain an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation 
of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality.  Determination of the allowance inherently 
involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of 
which may undergo material changes.  At any time there are likely to be loans in our portfolio that will result in losses but that 
have  not  been  identified  as  nonperforming  or  potential  problem  credits.  We  cannot  be  sure  that  we  will  be  able  to  identify 
deteriorating  credits  before  they  become  nonperforming  assets  or  that  we  will  be  able  to  limit  losses  on  those  loans  that  are 
identified. We may be required to increase our allowance for loan losses for any of several reasons.  Federal regulators, in reviewing 
our loan portfolio as part of a regulatory examination, may request that we increase our allowance for loan losses.  Changes in 
economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans 
and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in our allowance.  In addition, if charge-offs in 
future periods exceed our allowance for loan losses, we will need additional increases in our allowance for loan losses.  Any 
increases in our allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in our net income and, possibly, our capital, and may materially 
affect our results of operations in the period in which the allowance is increased.

Many of our loans are secured, in whole or in part, with real estate collateral which is subject to declines in value.

In addition to considering the financial strength and cash flow characteristics of a borrower, we often secure our loans with real 
estate collateral. Real estate values and the real estate market are generally affected by, among other things, changes in local, 
regional or national economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes 
in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies, and acts of nature.  The real estate collateral provides an 
alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower.  If real estate prices in our markets decline, the value of the 
real estate collateral securing our loans could be reduced. If we are required to liquidate real estate collateral securing loans during 
a period of reduced real estate values to satisfy the debt, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business.  Any failure, interruption or breach in 
security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer-relationship management, general ledger, deposit, 
loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption 
or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches 
will not occur; or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security 
breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional 
regulatory scrutiny or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability; any of which could have a material adverse effect 
on our financial condition and results of operations.

We face the risk of cyber-attack to our computer systems.

Our  computer  systems,  software  and  networks  have  been  and  will  continue  to  be  vulnerable  to  unauthorized  access,  loss  or 
destruction of data (including confidential client information), account takeovers, unavailability of service, computer viruses or 
other malicious code, cyber-attacks and other events. These threats may derive from human error, fraud or malice on the part of 
employees or third parties, or may result from accidental technological failure. If one or more of these events occurs, it could 
result in the disclosure of confidential client information, damage to our reputation with our clients and the market, additional 
costs to us (such as repairing systems or adding new personnel or protection technologies), regulatory penalties and financial 
losses, to both us and our clients and customers. Such events could also cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations (such 
as the lack of availability of our online banking system), as well as the operations of our clients, customers or other third parties. 

19Although we maintain safeguards to protect against these risks, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer losses in the 
future that may be material in amount.

Competition may decrease our growth or profits.

We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors, including commercial 
banks, savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, credit unions, consumer finance companies, factoring companies, 
leasing companies, insurance companies, and money market mutual funds.  There is very strong competition among financial 
services providers in our principal service area.  Our competitors may have greater resources, higher lending limits, or larger 
branch systems than we do.  Accordingly, they may be able to offer a broader range of products and services as well as better 
pricing for those products and services than we can.

In addition, some of the financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation 
as is imposed on federally insured financial institutions.  As a result, those non-bank competitors may be able to access funding 
and provide various services more easily or at less cost than we can, adversely affecting our ability to compete effectively.

The  value  of  certain  investment  securities  is  volatile  and  future  declines  or  other-than-temporary  impairments  could 
materially adversely affect our future earnings and regulatory capital.

Continued volatility in the market value for certain of our investment securities, whether caused by changes in market perceptions 
of credit risk, as reflected in the expected market yield of the security, or actual defaults in the portfolio could result in significant 
fluctuations in the value of the securities. This could have a material adverse impact on our accumulated other comprehensive 
income/loss and shareholders’ equity depending on the direction of the fluctuations. Furthermore, future downgrades or defaults 
in these securities could result in future classifications of investment securities as other than temporarily impaired. This could 
have a material impact on our future earnings.

We may be adversely affected by government regulation.

The banking industry is heavily regulated. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect the federal deposit insurance 
funds and depositors, not shareholders. Changes in the laws, regulations, and regulatory practices affecting the banking industry 
may increase our costs of doing business or otherwise adversely affect us and create competitive advantages for others. Regulations 
affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate effect of these 
changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.

The  potential  exists  for  additional  federal  or  state  laws  and  regulations,  or  changes  in  policy,  affecting  many  aspects  of  our 
operations, including capital levels, lending and funding practices, and liquidity standards.  New laws and regulations may increase 
our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business and otherwise affect our operations, and may significantly affect the 
markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our loans and investments, the fees we can charge and our ongoing 
operations, costs and profitability.

We rely on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.

We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our executive management team. In addition, we will continue to 
depend on our ability to retain and recruit key commercial loan officers. The unexpected loss of services of any key management 
personnel or commercial loan officers could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition because of their skills, 
knowledge of our market, years of industry experience, and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.

Environmental liability associated with lending activities could result in losses.

In the course of our business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing our loans.  If hazardous substances were 
discovered on any of these properties, we could be liable to governmental entities or third parties for the costs of remediation of 
the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage.  Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of 
whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the contamination.  In addition, if we arrange for the disposal of hazardous or toxic 
substances at another site, we may be liable for the costs of cleaning up and removing those substances from the site even if we 
neither own nor operate the disposal site.  Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially 
limit use of properties we acquire through foreclosure, reduce their value or limit our ability to sell them in the event of a default 
on the loans they secure.  In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing 
laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability.

20Failure to implement new technologies in our operations may adversely affect our growth or profits.

The market for financial services, including banking services and consumer finance services, is increasingly affected by advances 
in technology, including developments in telecommunications, data processing, computers, automation, Internet-based banking, 
and telebanking. Our ability to compete successfully in our markets may depend on the extent to which we are able to exploit such 
technological changes. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to properly or timely anticipate or implement 
such technologies or properly train our staff to use such technologies.  Any failure to adapt to new technologies could adversely 
affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

The Corporation is required to adopt the FASB's accounting standard which requires measurement of certain financial 
assets (including loans) using the current expected credit losses (CECL) beginning in calendar year 2020.

Current GAAP requires an incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a 
loss has been incurred. The FASB's amendment replaces the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects 
expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonableness and supportable information to inform 
credit loss estimates. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Corporation's 
financial statements; however, it is anticipated that the allowance will increase upon the adoption of CECL and that the increased 
allowance level will have the effect of decreasing shareholders' equity and the Corporation's and Bank's regulatory capital ratios.

An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit.

Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund, 
or by any other public or private entity.  Investment in our common stock is subject to the same market forces that affect the price 
of common stock in any company.

The Corporation has paid dividends since the effective date of its formation as a bank holding company.  It is the present intention 
of the Corporation’s board of directors to continue the dividend payment policy; however, further dividends must necessarily 
depend upon earnings, financial condition, appropriate legal restrictions, and other factors relevant at the time the board of directors 
of the Corporation considers dividend policy.  Cash available for dividend distributions to shareholders of the Corporation primarily 
comes from dividends paid by Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank to the Corporation.  Therefore, the restrictions on the 
Banks' dividend payments are directly applicable to the Corporation.   See also the information appearing in Note 20 to “Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to dividend restrictions.

Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 a corporation may not pay a dividend, if after giving effect thereto, 
the corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and after giving effect thereto 
the total assets of the corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the 
corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the shareholders 
whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend.

As of March 1, 2019, the Corporation had approximately 1,247 shareholders of record.

ITEM 7  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 

OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income is determined by calculating the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates 
paid on interest-bearing liabilities. To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to taxable 
equivalents based on the marginal corporate federal tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 2017 and 2016.  The tax equivalent 
adjustments to net interest income for 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $700,000, $1,281,000, and $1,402,000, respectively.

2018 vs. 2017

Reported net interest income increased $3,730,000 to $47,810,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2017, as growth in the earning asset portfolio was coupled with the yield on earning assets increasing to 
4.06% from 3.92%.  Total interest income increased $8,769,000 primarily from the growth in the average balance of the loan 
portfolio along with a slight increase in the average balance of the investment portfolio as the investment portfolio is actively 
managed to reduce interest rate and market risk. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis recognized on the loan portfolio increased 
$8,188,000 due to a $175,997,000 increase in the average balance in the loan portfolio. Interest and dividend income generated 
from the investment portfolio on a tax equivalent basis increased $383,000 due to a $2,946,000 increase in the average balance 
in the investment portfolio and a 20 basis point ("bp") increase in the average rate.  

Interest expense increased $5,039,000 to $10,936,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017. The increase in 
interest  expense  was  driven  by  growth  in  borrowings  and  total  deposits. The  average  rate  paid  on  interest-bearing  liabilities 
increased 37 bp to 0.99% for 2018. The average rate paid on time deposits increased 35 bp as the time deposit portfolio was 
lengthened in preparation for a rising rate environment.

2017 vs. 2016

Reported net interest income increased $2,834,000 to $44,080,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2016, as growth in the earning asset portfolio was coupled with the yield on earning assets increasing to 
3.92% from 3.88%.  Total interest income increased $3,164,000 as the impact of growth in the average balance of the loan portfolio 
was limited by a decline in the average balance of the investment portfolio as the investment portfolio is actively managed to 
reduce interest rate and market risk. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis recognized on the loan portfolio increased $3,801,000 
due to a $92,281,000 increase in the average balance in the loan portfolio.  Interest and dividend income generated from the 
investment portfolio on a tax equivalent basis decreased $808,000 due to a $14,277,000 decrease in the average balance in the 
investment portfolio and a 22 basis point ("bp") reduction in the average rate.  

Interest expense increased $330,000 to $5,897,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016.  The increase in 
interest expense was driven by growth in total deposits, the primary source of funding for the earning asset portfolio growth.  The 
impact of the growth in interest-bearing liabilities was limited by a minimal increase of 1 bp in cost of funds.   The average rate 
paid on time deposits increased 13 bp as the time deposit portfolio was lengthened in preparation for a rising rate environment.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The  table  below  sets  forth  certain  information  regarding  changes  in  our  interest  income  and  interest  expense  for  the  periods 
indicated. For interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes 
in volume (changes in average volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rates (changes in rate multiplied by old average 
volume). Increases and decreases due to both interest rate and volume, which cannot be separated, have been allocated proportionally 
to the change due to volume and the change due to interest rate.  Income and interest rates are on a taxable equivalent basis.

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to 
assess  loan  quality,  identify  impaired  loans,  analyze  delinquencies,  ascertain  loan  growth,  evaluate  potential  charge-offs  and 
recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed 
annually  for  the  Corporation.   Management  remains  committed  to  an  aggressive  program  of  problem  loan  identification  and 
resolution.

The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance 
has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in 

29 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards 
and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for 
loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2018, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions 
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy or employment 
and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and charge-
offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in interest income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, 
bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks' loan loss allowance. The banking regulators could require additions to 
the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

While determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio 
segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  inclined  from  $12,858,000  at  December 31,  2017  to  $13,837,000  at  December 31,  2018.  At 
December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was 1.00% of total loans compared to 1.03% of total loans at December 31, 
2017.

The provision for loan losses totaled $1,735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $730,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 2017. The increase in the provision was appropriate when considering the gross loan growth and low level of net 
charge-offs during 2018.  Net charge-offs of $756,000 represented 0.06% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2018 
compared to net charge-offs of $768,000 or 0.07% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2017. The growth in the loan 
portfolio was driven by the indirect auto loan portfolio that has experienced minimal charge-offs.  In addition, growth occurred 
in the home equity segment of the loan portfolio which historically is a lower risk product than commercial loans and requires a 
lower allowance for loan losses.  Nonperforming loans increased $9,304,000 as a large nonperforming loan was added during the 
fourth quarter of 2018.  The majority of the nonperforming loans are centered on several loans that are either in a secured position 
and  have  sureties  with  a  strong  underlying  financial  position  and/or  a  specific  allowance  within  the  allowance  for  loan 
losses. Internal loan review and analysis, coupled with the ratios and decreased level of nonperforming loans noted previously, 
dictated a decrease in the provision for loan losses. Utilizing both internal and external resources, as noted, senior management 
has concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio.

2017 vs. 2016 

The allowance for loan losses declined slightly from $12,896,000 at December 31, 2016 to $12,858,000 at December 31, 2017.  
At December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was 1.03% of total loans compared to 1.18% of total loans at December 31, 
2016.

The provision for loan losses totaled $730,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $1,196,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 2016.  The decrease in the provision was appropriate when considering the gross loan growth and low level of net 
charge-offs during 2017.  Net charge-offs of $768,000 represented 0.07% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2017 
compared to net charge-offs of $344,000 or 0.03% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The growth in the 
loan portfolio was driven by home equity product growth which historically is a lower risk product than commercial loans and 
requires a lower allowance for loan losses. In addition, growth occurred in the indirect auto loan portfolio that has experienced 
minimal charge-offs.  Nonperforming loans decreased $4,358,000 as a large nonperforming loan was paid-off during the third 
quarter of 2017.  The majority of the nonperforming loans are centered on several loans that are either in a secured position and 
have sureties with a strong underlying financial position and/or a specific allowance within the allowance for loan losses.  Internal 
loan review and analysis, coupled with the ratios and decreased level of nonperforming loans noted previously, dictated a decrease 
in the provision for loan losses.  Utilizing both internal and external resources, as noted, senior management has concluded that 
the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

2018 vs. 2017 

Total non-interest income decreased $1,283,000 from the year ended December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Excluding net 
security gains, non-interest income decreased $477,000 year over year. Service charges increased due to increased level of overdraft 
income. Bank owned life insurance income decreased due to a decrease in the earnings rate. Insurance commissions along with 
brokerage commissions decreased due to a shift in product mix. Gain on sale of loans decreased due to reduced volume. Debit 

30 
 
card income decreased to $1,534,000 for 2018, a decrease of $426,000 or 21.73%, from 2017, primarily due to a change in revenue 
recognition in 2018 that reports revenue net of associated expenses (see Note 25. Revenue Recognition).

Total non-interest expenses increased $1,145,000 from the year ended December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. The increase 
in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased health insurance expense, annual wage increases, and an increase 
in number of employees. Occupancy expense increased primarily due to the opening of a new branch location. Furniture and 
equipment expenses increased due to the new branch location and continued enhancement of systems.

2017 vs. 2016  

Total non-interest expenses increased $1,771,000 from the year ended December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.  The increase 
in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased health insurance expense and annual wage increases.  Occupancy 
expense increased primarily due to the opening of a new location that houses executive offices and select operations units.  Furniture 
and equipment expenses increased due to the continued enhancement of systems.  The increase in marketing expense was primarily 
related to the home equity and time deposit campaigns. Professional fees increased to $2,353,000 for 2017, an increase of $257,000 
or 12.26% from 2016.

INCOME TAXES

2018 vs. 2017 

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2018 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 16.08% compared 
to 43.29% for 2017. This decrease is primarily the result of the change in corporate tax rate.

2017 vs. 2016 

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased $2,862,000 and resulted in an effective income 
tax rate of 43.29% compared to 26.93% for 2016.  The increase was driven by a revaluation of the Corporation's net deferred tax 

32 
 
 
 
 
 
 
assets that resulted in a recognition of a provisional net income tax expense in the amount of $2,724,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 2017 due to the December 2017 passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, among other things, reduces the corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The law 
is complex and has extensive implications for the Corporation’s federal and state current and deferred taxes and income tax expense. 

Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the effect of income tax law changes on deferred taxes should be recognized as a component of 
income tax expense related to continuing operations in the period in which the law is enacted. This requirement applies not only 
to  items  initially  recognized  in  continuing  operations,  but  also  to  items  initially  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income. 
Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Corporation conducted a revaluation of our net deferred tax assets and recorded 
the effects to reflect the changes associated with the law. 

As a result of the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, the Corporation recognized a provisional net income tax 
expense totaling $2,724,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, determined as follows:

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also:

• 

• 
• 

eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax and allows the use of any net operating loss carryforward to offset 
regular tax liability for any taxable year;
limits the deduction for net interest expense incurred by U.S. corporations;
allows businesses to immediately expense, for tax purposes, the cost of new investments in certain qualified depreciable 
assets;
eliminates or reduces certain deductions related to meals and entertainment expenses; and

• 
•  modifies the corporate dividends received deductions.

The Corporation currently is in a deferred tax asset position.  Management has reviewed the deferred tax asset and has determined 
that the asset will be utilized within the appropriate carryforward period and therefore does not require a valuation allowance.

The foregoing description of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on us should be read in conjunction with Note 12 - "Income 
Taxes" and Note 2 -  "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" 
included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

INVESTMENTS

2018 

The fair value of the investment portfolio increased $24,764,000 from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. The increase 
in value is the result of growth in the municipal segment of the portfolio as the investment portfolio continues to be actively 
managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. This strategy is being deployed through selective purchasing of bonds 
that mature within ten years. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not credit 
issues/ratings, as approximately 82% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by 
either S&P or Moody’s. 

33 
 
 
 
2017 

The fair value of the investment portfolio decreased $8,885,000 from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.  The decrease 
in value is the result of the investment portfolio being actively managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. This is 
being undertaken primarily through the sale of long-term municipal bonds that have a maturity date greater than ten years and 
securities with a call date within the next five years.  In addition, the decrease in corporate bond holdings is being undertaken to 
reduce risk and also in response to the changes in bank regulatory capital calculations per Basel III.   The proceeds of the bond 
sales are primarily being deployed into loans. The strategy to sell a portion of the long-term bond portfolio does negatively impact 
current earnings, but this action plays a key role in our long-term asset/liability management strategy as the balance sheet is 
shortened to better prepare for a rising rate environment. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result 
of market activity, not credit issues/ratings, as approximately 83% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is 
currently rated A or higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

All yields represent weighted average yields expressed on a tax equivalent basis.  They are calculated on the basis of the cost, 
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, and effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each 
security.  The taxable equivalent adjustment represents the difference between annual income from tax-exempt obligations and 
the taxable equivalent of such income at the standard 21% tax rate (derived by dividing tax-exempt interest by 79%).

LOAN PORTFOLIO

2018 

Gross loans of $1,384,757,000 at December 31, 2018 represented an increase of $138,143,000 from December 31, 2017. Indirect 
auto lending remained the primary driver of the growth in the loan portfolio.  With a continued emphasis on home equity lines of 
credit, real estate mortgages also contributed to loan growth. Indirect auto lending and home equity lines are part of the overall 
strategy to shorten the duration of the earning asset portfolio in preparation for a rising interest rate environment. Commercial real 
estate mortgages increased $39,676,000 but remained at approximately 27% of the total loan portfolio.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

2018 

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses 
inherent in its loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date.  All loan losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries 
are credited to it per the allowance method of providing for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established through a 
provision for loan losses charged to operations.  The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of 
the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain 
loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served. An 
external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Banks.  Management remains committed to an aggressive 
program of problem loan identification and resolution.

The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance 
has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in 
mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards 
and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  increased  from  $12,858,000  at  December 31,  2017  to  $13,837,000  at  December 31,  2018.  At 
December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was 1.00% of total loans compared to 1.03% of total loans at December 31, 
2017.  The growth in the loan portfolio of home equity product historically is a lower risk product than commercial loans and 
requires a lower allowance for loan losses.  In addition, the growth in the indirect auto portfolio has incurred minimal losses.  Net 
loan charge-offs of $756,000 or 0.06% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2018 partially limited the impact of the 
provision for loan losses of $1,735,000.  Management concluded that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for 
probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date as noted in the provision for loan losses discussion.

Based on management’s loan-by-loan review, the past performance of the borrowers, and current economic conditions, including 
recent  business  closures  and  bankruptcy  levels,  management  does  not  anticipate  any  current  losses  related  to  nonaccrual, 
nonperforming, or classified loans above those that have already been considered in its overall judgment of the adequacy of the 
allowance for loan losses.

2017 

The allowance for loan losses decreased slightly from $12,896,000 at December 31, 2016 to $12,858,000 at December 31, 2017.  
At December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was 1.03% of total loans compared to 1.18% of total loans at December 31, 
2016 as loan portfolio growth outpaced the provision for loan losses net of charge-offs. The growth in the loan portfolio was driven 
by home equity product growth, which is historically a lower risk product than commercial loans and requires a lower allowance 
for loan losses. In addition, the growth in the indirect auto portfolio has incurred minimal losses. Net loan charge-offs of $768,000 
or 0.06% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2017 limited the impact of the provision for loan losses of $730,000.

NONPERFORMING LOANS

The increase in nonperforming loans during 2018 is primarily due to a commercial loan that became nonaccrual in the fourth 
quarter of 2018.  The majority of the nonperforming loans are centered on several loans that are either in a secured position and 
have sureties with a strong underlying financial position and/or a specific allowance within the allowance for loan losses. 

The following table presents information concerning nonperforming loans.  The accrual of interest will be discontinued when the 
principal or interest of a loan is in default for 90 days or more, or as soon as payment is questionable, unless the loan is well secured 
and in the process of collection. Consumer loans and residential real estate loans secured by 1 to 4 family dwellings are not 
ordinarily subject to those guidelines.  The reversal of previously accrued but uncollected interest applicable to any loan placed 
in a nonaccrual status and the treatment of subsequent payments of either principal or interest is handled in accordance with GAAP.  
These principles do not require a write-off of previously accrued interest if principal and interest are ultimately protected by sound 
collateral values.  A nonperforming loan may be restored to accruing status when:

1.              Principal and interest is no longer due and unpaid;
2.              It becomes well secured and in the process of collection; and
3.              Prospects for future contractual payments are no longer in doubt.

The level of non-accruing loans continues to fluctuate annually and is attributed to the various economic factors experienced both 
regionally and nationally.  Overall, the portfolio is well secured with a majority of the balance making regular payments or scheduled 
to be satisfied in the near future.  Presently, there are no significant loans where serious doubts exist as to the ability of the borrower 
to comply with the current loan payment terms which are not included in the nonperforming categories as indicated above.

Management’s judgment in determining the amount of the additions to the allowance charged to operating expense considers the 
following factors with no single factor being determinative:

1.              Economic conditions and the impact on the loan portfolio;
2.              Analysis of past loan charge-offs experienced by category and comparison to outstanding loans;
3.              Effect of problem loans on overall portfolio quality; and
4.              Reports of examination of the loan portfolio by the Department and the FDIC.

DEPOSITS

2018 vs. 2017 

Total average deposits increased $48,070,000 or 4.19% from 2017 to 2018. While deposit gathering efforts have centered on core 
deposits, the lengthening of the average maturity of the time deposit portfolio continues to move forward as part of the strategy 
to build balance sheet protection in a rising interest rate environment. Time deposit average balance for 2018 increased $48,678,000 
to $259,286,000.

2017 vs. 2016 

Total average deposits increased $68,786,000 or 6.39% from 2016 to 2017.  The growth is a result of an emphasis to increase and 
solidify deposit relationships by focusing on core deposits, not time deposits. The actions caused average core deposits, which 
exclude time deposits, to increase to 79.98% in 2017 from 79.44% for 2016.  

The average amount and the average rate paid on deposits are summarized below for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017,

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

2018 

Shareholders’ equity increased $5,344,000 to $143,536,000 at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. The change 
in accumulated other comprehensive loss from $4,974,000 at December 31, 2017 to $6,636,000 at December 31, 2018 is a result 
of an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities from an unrealized loss of $54,000 at December 31, 2017 to an 
unrealized loss of $1,360,000 at December 31, 2018. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2018 
was also impacted by the change in net excess of the projected benefit obligation over the fair value of the plan assets of the defined 
benefit pension plan resulting in a $356,000 increase in the net loss to $5,276,000 at December 31, 2018. The current level of 
shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $30.59 at December 31, 2018 compared to $29.47 at December 31, 2017 
and an equity to asset ratio of 8.52% at December 31, 2018 compared to 9.37% at December 31, 2017. Excluding goodwill and 
intangibles, book value per share was $26.70 at December 31, 2018 compared to $25.51 at December 31, 2017. Dividends declared 
for twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1.88 per share.

2017 

Shareholders’ equity decreased $57,000 to $138,192,000 at December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Since December 
31, 2016, treasury stock purchases of $1,881,000 for 47,698 shares were completed as part of the stock repurchase plan.  The 
change in accumulated other comprehensive loss from $4,928,000 at December 31, 2016 to $4,974,000 at December 31, 2017 is 
a result of a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities from an unrealized loss of $639,000 at December 31, 
2016 to an unrealized loss of $54,000 at December 31, 2017. The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 
31, 2017 was also impacted by the change in net excess of the projected benefit obligation over the fair value of the plan assets 
of the defined benefit pension plan resulting in a $631,000 increase in the net loss to $4,920,000 at December 31, 2017. The current 
level of shareholders’ equity equates to a book value per share of $29.47 at December 31, 2017 compared to $29.20 at December 
31, 2016 and an equity to asset ratio of 9.37% at December 31, 2017 compared to 10.25% at December 31, 2016. Excluding 
goodwill and intangibles, book value per share was $25.51 at December 31, 2017 compared to $25.21 at December 31, 2016. 
Dividends declared for twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $1.88 per share.

Bank regulators have risk based capital guidelines.  Under these guidelines the Corporation and each Bank are required to maintain 
minimum ratios of core capital and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk weighted assets and certain off-balance sheet 
items. At December 31, 2018, both the Corporation’s and each Bank’s required ratios were well above the minimum ratios (and 
including the current capital conservation buffer where applicable) as follows:

LIQUIDITY, INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY, AND MARKET RISK

The Asset/Liability Committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Corporation to ensure that sufficient funds are available to 
meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing 
liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited at December 31, 2018, except for 
Net Loans to Total Deposits which was at 112.4%:

1.  Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum
2.  Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum
3.  Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum
4.  Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 25% maximum

Fundamental  objectives  of  the  Corporation’s  asset/liability  management  process  are  to  maintain  adequate  liquidity  while 
minimizing interest rate risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Corporation with the ability to meet its financial 
obligations to depositors, loan customers, and shareholders. Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and 
business opportunities as they arise.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by 
managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest 
rates.

The  Corporation,  like  other  financial  institutions,  must  have  sufficient  funds  available  to  meet  its  liquidity  needs  for  deposit 
withdrawals, loan commitments, and expenses.  In order to control cash flow, the Corporation estimates future flows of cash from 
deposits and loan payments.  The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-
backed securities, as well as FHLB borrowings.  Funds generated are used principally to fund loans and purchase investment 
securities. Management believes the Corporation has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.

Management monitors the Corporation’s liquidity on both a short and long-term basis, thereby providing management necessary 
information to react to current balance sheet trends.  Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined.  Funding 

40 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost.  Both short and long term funding needs are addressed by maturities 
and sales of available for sale investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments 
such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provides core ingredients to satisfy 
depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

Management  monitors  and  determines  the  desirable  level  of  liquidity.   Consideration  is  given  to  loan  demand,  investment 
opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds.  The Corporation has a current 
borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $556,656,000 with $163,495,000 utilized, leaving $393,160,000 available.  In addition to this 
credit arrangement, the Corporation has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $52,000,000. The Corporation’s 
management believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs.

Interest  rate  sensitivity,  which  is  closely  related  to  liquidity  management,  is  a  function  of  the  repricing  characteristics  of  the 
Corporation’s portfolio of assets and liabilities.  Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan 
and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them.  Successful asset/liability management 
results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process is affected by 
segmenting both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months or less) based upon when repricing can be 
effected.  Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities for a specific time period to determine the “gap” or difference.  
Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates.  Intentional mismatching, or gapping, 
can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted.  However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to 
predictions, net interest income will suffer.  Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed.  In addition 
to gap management, the Corporation has an asset liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation 
which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the 
effects of interest rate changes on the Corporation’s balance sheet.

The Corporation currently maintains a gap position of being asset sensitive.  The Corporation has strategically taken this position 
as it has decreased the duration of the earning asset portfolio by adding quality short and intermediate term loans such as home 
equity loans and the selling of long-term municipal bonds. Lengthening of the liability portfolio is being undertaken to build 
protection in a rising rate environment.

A market value at risk calculation is utilized to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Corporation’s balance sheet and 
more specifically shareholders’ equity.  The Corporation does not manage the balance sheet structure in order to maintain compliance 
with this calculation.  The calculation serves as a guideline with greater emphasis placed on interest rate sensitivity.  Changes to 
calculation results from period to period are reviewed as changes in results could be a signal of future events.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

In this analysis the Corporation examines the result of various changes in market interest rates in 100 basis point increments and 
their effect on net interest income. It is assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all rates move in a parallel manner.  
Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities.

The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2019 assuming a static balance sheet as 
of December 31, 2018.

Parallel Rate Shock in Basis Points

The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding 
cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.  Actual 
results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected 
change.  In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would 
undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change.  Generally, management 
believes the Corporation is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

41 
 
 
INFLATION

The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature; therefore, interest rates rather than inflation 
have a more significant impact on the Corporation’s performance.  Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or 
magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors that are not 
measured by a price index.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.  The accounting policies are described 
in detail in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  
Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments, 
and contingencies.  We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods 
are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period.  In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure 
that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner.  The following is a brief description of our current 
accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Other Than Temporary Impairment of Debt Securities

Debt securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management 
utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reason underlying the decline, to determine 
whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is 
permanent.  It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of 
evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment.  Once a decline in value is determined 
to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized. For a full 
discussion of the Corporation’s methodology of assessing impairment, refer to Note 4 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment.  The Corporation’s allowance 
for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as well as the prevailing business 
environment; as it is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in 
ways currently unforeseen.  The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-
off and reduced by loans charged-off.  For a full discussion of the Corporation’s methodology of assessing the adequacy of the 
reserve for allowance for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of 
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As discussed in Note 8 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” the Corporation must assess goodwill and other 
intangible assets each year for impairment.  This assessment involves estimating cash flows for future periods. If the future cash 
flows were less than the recorded goodwill and other intangible assets balances, we would be required to take a charge against 
earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.

Deferred Tax Assets

Management uses an estimate of future earnings to support their position that the benefit of their deferred tax assets will be realized.  
If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they 
may be applied, the asset may not be realized and the Corporation’s net income will be reduced.  The Corporation’s deferred tax 
assets are described further in Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.

Pension Benefits

Pension costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts.  These assumptions include discount 
rates, benefits earned, interest costs, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates, and other factors.  In accordance with GAAP, 
actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect 
recognized expense and the recorded obligation of future periods.  While management believes that the assumptions used are 
appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the Corporation’s pension obligations and future 
expense.  Our pension benefits are described further in Note 13 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in 
Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Corporation has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations which may require future cash payments. The 
following table presents, as of December 31, 2018, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by 
payment date. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” 
included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or 
performance and assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical fact.  The Corporation wishes to 
caution readers that the following important factors, among others in addition to the factors discussed in Item 1 - "Business" and 
in Item 1A - "Risk Factors", may have affected and could in the future affect the Corporation’s actual results and could cause the 
Corporation’s actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement 
made by or on behalf of the Corporation herein:  (i) the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including federal and state 
banking laws and regulations, with which the Corporation must comply, and the associated costs of compliance with such laws 
and regulations either currently or in the future as applicable; (ii) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as 
may  be  adopted  by  the  regulatory  agencies  as  well  as  by  the  Financial Accounting  Standards  Board;  (iii) the  effect  on  the 
Corporation’s competitive position within its market area of the increasing consolidation within the banking and financial services 
industries, including the increased competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank 
providers of various financial services; (iv) the effect of changes in interest rates; and (v) the effect of changes in the business 
cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies.

ITEM 7A  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk for the Corporation is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and 
liquidity  risk  management  is  performed  at  the  Banks'  level  as  well  as  the  Corporation  level.  The  Corporation’s  interest  rate 
sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced internally.  Additional information 
and details are provided in the Interest Sensitivity section of Item 7 - "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations."

Generally, management believes the Corporation is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook 
changes.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017; the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, 
changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018; 
and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the “financial statements”). In our opinion, 
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 
31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 
December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway  Commission  in  2013,  and  our  report  dated  March  12,  2019,  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to 
those risks.

Basis for Opinion

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1999.

PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned 
subsidiaries, Jersey Shore State Bank (“JSSB”),  Luzerne Bank ("Luzerne" and collectively with JSSB , the "Banks"), Woods Real 
Estate Development Co., Inc., Woods Investment Company, Inc., The M Group Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group  
(“The M Group”), a wholly owned subsidiary of JSSB and an eighty percent owned subsidiary, United Solutions, LLC, (collectively, 
the “Corporation”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Business

The Banks engage in a full-service commercial banking business, making available to the community a wide range of financial 
services including, but not limited to, installment loans, credit cards, mortgage and home equity loans, lines of credit, construction 
financing, farm loans, community development loans, loans to non-profit entities and local government, and various types of 
demand and time deposits including, but not limited to, checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, 
certificates of deposit, and IRAs.  Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the extent 
provided by law.

The financial services are provided by the Banks to individuals, partnerships, non-profit organizations, and corporations through 
their twenty-six offices located in Clinton, Lycoming, Centre, Montour, Union, and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania.

Woods Real Estate Development Co., Inc. engages in real estate transactions on behalf of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and the 
Banks.

Woods Investment Company, Inc., a Delaware holding company, is engaged in investing activities.

The M Group engages in securities brokerage and financial planning services, which include the sale of life insurance products, 
annuities, and estate planning services.

United Insurance Solutions, LLC offers property and casualty and auto insurance products within the Corporation's market footprint.

Operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a corporate-wide basis.  Accordingly, all financial service 
operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, 
valuation of net deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill, other than temporary impairment of debt and equity securities, fair 
value of financial instruments, and the valuation of real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure on settlement of debt.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and federal funds sold.  Interest-earning deposits mature within 90 
days and are carried at cost.  Net cash flows are reported for loan, deposit, and short-term borrowing transactions.

Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents

Based on deposit levels, the Banks must maintain cash and other reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia ("FRB").

51 
 
 
Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intention and ability, as securities held to 
maturity, securities available for sale, or securities held for trading.  Debt securities acquired with the intent and ability to hold to 
maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, which are computed using the interest 
method and recognized as adjustments of interest income. Certain other debt securities have been classified as available for sale 
to serve principally as a source of liquidity.  Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for sale securities are reported as a 
separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Equity securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding 
gains and losses for equity securities are recognized as a separate component within the income statement.  Realized security gains 
and losses are computed using the specific identification method for debt securities and the average cost method for marketable 
equity securities.  Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, but not 
limited to, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the underlying 
issuer, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its 
fair value, whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation would be required to sell the security before its anticipated 
recovery in fair value, and a review of the Corporation’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position, and liquidity. The assessment 
of a security’s ability to recover any decline in fair value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, and management’s 
intent and ability requires considerable judgment. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as 
a loss within non-interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Fair values of investment securities are based on observed market prices.  Certain investment securities do not have observed bid 
prices and their fair value is based on instruments with similar risk elements. Since regulatory stock is redeemable at par, the 
Corporation carries it at cost.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff generally are stated 
at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and discounts, unamortized loan fees and costs, and the allowance for 
loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized as income when earned on the accrual method.  The Corporation’s general policy has 
been to stop accruing interest on loans when it is determined a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectability of additional interest. 
Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received provided the loan is not delinquent in 
payment and, in management’s judgment, the borrower has the ability and intent to make future principal payments.  Otherwise, 
payments are applied to the unpaid principal balance of the loan.  Loans are restored to accrual status if certain conditions are met, 
including but not limited to, the repayment of all unpaid interest and scheduled principal due, ongoing performance consistent 
with the contractual agreement, and the future expectation of continued, timely payments.

Loan origination and commitment fees as well as certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and amortized as an 
adjustment to the related loan’s yield over the contractual lives of the related loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses 
inherent in its loan portfolio as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date.  The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses.  
Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries are credited to it.  The allowance for loan losses is 
established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations.  The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s 
quarterly  review  of  the  loan  portfolio.  The  purpose  of  the  review  is  to  assess  loan  quality,  identify  impaired  loans,  analyze 
delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the 
markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Bank.  Management remains committed 
to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance 
has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in 
mix and volume of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and general economic conditions.  In addition, management 
considers industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific 
lending segments.

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for 
loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2018, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions

52differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, rising 
unemployment, or negative performance trends in financial information from borrowers could be indicators of subsequent increased 
levels of nonperforming assets and possible charge-offs, which would normally require increased loan loss provisions. An integral 
part of the periodic regulatory examination process is the review of the adequacy of the Banks' loan loss allowance. The regulatory 
agencies could require the Banks, based on their evaluation of information available at the time of their examination, to provide 
additional loan loss provisions to further supplement the allowance.

Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all 
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Banks individually evaluate such loans for impairment 
and do not aggregate loans by major risk classifications.  The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of 
“nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap.  The Banks may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to 
payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial or 
commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral 
value.  The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected 
cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of 
collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans.  When foreclosure 
is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans 
and are measured for impairment collectively.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days 
or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case 
basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the 
borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Loan Charge-off Policies

Loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of collateral securing the asset when:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

  management judges the asset to be uncollectible;

repayment is deemed to be protracted beyond reasonable time frames;

the asset has been classified as a loss by either the internal loan review process or external examiners;

the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident due to a lack of assets; or

the loan is 180 days past due unless both well secured and in the process of collection.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, management may grant a concession 
for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered, the related loan is classified 
as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with 
them to modify to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate 
reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid 
foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either 
interest or principal, management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted above for impaired loans.

In addition to the allowance for the pooled portfolios, management has developed a separate allowance for loans that are identified 
as impaired through a TDR. These loans are excluded from pooled loss forecasts and a separate reserve is provided under the 
accounting guidance for loan impairment. Consumer loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR are also individually analyzed 
for estimated impairment.

Loans Held for Sale

In general, fixed rate residential mortgage loans originated by the Banks are held for sale and are carried at cost due to their short 
holding period, which can range from less than two weeks to a maximum of thirty days.  Sold loans are not serviced by the Banks. 
Proceeds from the sale of loans in excess of the carrying value are accounted for as a gain.  Total gains on the sale of loans are 
shown as a component of non-interest income within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

53Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Prior to foreclosure, the value of the 
underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan losses, if 
necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged against operating expenses.  Net operating expenses and gains and losses 
realized from disposition are included in non-interest expense and income, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of 
Income.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using 
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to ten years for 
furniture, fixtures, and equipment and fifteen to forty years for buildings and improvements.  Costs incurred for routine maintenance 
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Corporation has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers and directors.  Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at 
its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized.  Increases in the cash surrender value are recognized as a component 
of non-interest income within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Goodwill

The Corporation performs an annual impairment analysis of goodwill for its purchased subsidiaries, Luzerne and The M Group.  
Based on the fair value of these reporting units, estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, no impairment 
of goodwill was recognized in 2018, 2017, or 2016.

Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2018, the Corporation had intangible assets of $443,000 as a result of the acquisition of Luzerne National Bank 
Corporation, which is net of accumulated amortization of $1,571,000.  These intangible assets will continue to be amortized using 
the sum-of-the-years digits method of amortization over ten years. The Corporation also had intangible assets of $719,000, which 
is net of accumulated amortization of $301,000, as a result of the purchase of two books of business related to investment product 
sales.  The book of business intangible is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of ten years.

Investments in Limited Partnerships

The Corporation is a limited partner in three partnerships at December 31, 2018 that provide low income elderly housing in the 
Corporation’s geographic market area. The carrying value of the Corporation’s investments in limited partnerships was $218,000
at December 31, 2018 and $402,000 at December 31, 2017. The investments are being amortized over the ten-year tax credit 
receipt period utilizing the straight-line method.  The partnerships are amortized once the projects reach the level of occupancy 
needed to begin the ten year tax credit recognition period.  Amortization of limited partnership investments amounted to $184,000, 
$184,000, and $312,000 for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments. Those instruments consist 
of  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  standby  letters  of  credit.  When  those  instruments  are  funded  or  become  payable,  the 
Corporation reports the amounts in its financial statements.

Marketing Cost

Marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The  Corporation  prescribes  a  recognition  threshold  and  a  measurement  attribute  for  the  financial  statement  recognition  and 
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in 
the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the 

54appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-
than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized 
upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be 
recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions 
that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting 
period in which that threshold is no longer met.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in financial and income tax methods of accounting, and are 
reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected 
to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the 
provision for income taxes.  The Corporation analyzed its deferred tax asset position and determined that there was not a need for 
a valuation allowance due to the Corporation’s ability to generate future ordinary and capital taxable income.

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cut and Jobs Act was signed into law. ASC 740 (Income Taxes) requires the recognition of the 
effect of changes in tax laws or rates in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The changes in the deferred tax assets and 
liabilities remeasured at the new 21% federal tax rate are reflected in income tax expense for fiscal year 2017.

The Corporation when applicable recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax provision.

Earnings Per Share

The Corporation provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share is calculated utilizing 
net income as reported in the numerator and weighted average shares outstanding in the denominator.  The computation of diluted 
earnings per share differs in that the dilutive effects of any stock options are adjusted in the denominator.

Employee Benefits

Pension and employee benefits include contributions, determined actuarially, to a defined benefit retirement plan covering the 
eligible employees of JSSB.  The plan is funded on a current basis to the extent that it is deductible under existing federal tax 
regulations.  Pension and other employee benefits also include contributions to a defined contribution Section 401(k) plan covering 
eligible employees.  Contributions matching those made by eligible employees are funded throughout the year. In addition, an 
elective  contribution  may  be  made  annually  at  the  discretion  of  the  board  of  directors  for  the  employees  of  JSSB  with    no 
contributions made since 2015. 

The M Group Products and Income Recognition

The M Group product line is comprised primarily of annuities, life insurance, and mutual funds.  The revenues generated from 
life insurance sales are commission only, as The M Group does not underwrite the policies.  Life insurance sales include permanent 
and term policies with the majority of the policies written being permanent.  Term life insurance policies are written for 10, 15, 
20, and 30 year terms with the majority of the policies being written for 20 years.  None of these products are offered as an integral 
part of lending activities.

Commissions from the sale of annuities are recognized at the time notice is received from the third party broker/dealer or an 
insurance company that the transaction has been accepted and approved, which is also the time when commission income is 
received.

Life insurance commissions are recognized at varying points based on the payment option chosen by the customer.  Commissions 
from monthly and annual payment plans are recognized at the start of each annual period for the life insurance, while quarterly 
and semi-annual premium payments are recognized quarterly and semi-annually when the earnings process is complete.  For 
example, semi-annual payments on the first of January and July would result in commission income recognition on the first of 
January and July, while payments on the first of January, April, July, and October would result in commission income recognition 
on those dates. The potential for chargebacks only exists for those policies on a monthly payment plan since income is recognized 
at  the  beginning  of  the  annual  coverage  period  versus  at  the  time  of  each  monthly  payment.   No  liability  is  maintained  for 
chargebacks as these are removed from income at the time of the occurrence.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Corporation is required to present accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in a full set of general-purpose financial 
statements for all periods presented. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of unrealized holding gains 

55(losses) on the available for sale securities portfolio and the unrecognized components of net periodic benefit costs of the defined 
benefit pension plan.

Segment Reporting

The Corporation has determined that its only reportable segment is Community Banking.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s reporting format.  Such reclassifications 
did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (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 loans receivable and investment securities, the adoption of the standard and its related amendments did not result in a 
material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Corporation's revenue is not within the scope 
of Topic 606. Upon adoption on January 1, 2018, we have included the related new disclosure requirements in Note 25.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement 
of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  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 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.  Upon  adoption  on  January  1,  2018,  the  Corporation  made  a  one-time  cumulative  effect  adjustment  from 
accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of $537,000.  The net effect was an increase to retained earnings. 
Additionally, the methods used to calculate the fair value of financial instruments in Note 22 were based on exit pricing assumptions 
as of December 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  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 
Corporation 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 Corporation’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the 
impact to the Corporation’s balance sheet is estimated to result in an increase of $10,294,000 in assets and liabilities. The Corporation 
also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

56In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial 
Instruments, 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 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.

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2017-04,  Simplifying  the  Test  for  Goodwill  Impairment. 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 Corporation’s financial statements.

In  February  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2017-06,  Plan  Accounting:  Defined  Benefit  Pension  Plans  (Topic  960),  Defined 
Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), and Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965). 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 Corporation’s 
financial statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2017-08,  Receivables  -  Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs  (Subtopic  310-20). 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.  This Update is not expected to have a 
significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), 
and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain

57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 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, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in 
Topic 260). The 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 Corporation’s financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 850), 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 Corporation’s financial statements.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842), 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 Corporation’s financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, represents changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make 
minor improvements to the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by 
eliminating  inconsistencies  and  providing  clarifications. The  transition  and  effective  date  guidance  is  based  on  the  facts  and 
circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance 
of this ASU. However, many of the amendments in this ASU do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the 
Corporation’s financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, represents changes to clarify, 
correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification. The amendments in this ASU affect the amendments in ASU 
2016-02, which are not yet effective, but for which early adoption upon issuance is permitted. For entities that early adopted Topic 
842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. 
For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date 

58and transition requirements in Topic 842. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial 
statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This Update provides another transition 
method which allows entities to initially apply ASC 842 at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the 
opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Entities that elect this approach should report comparative periods 
in accordance with ASC 840, Leases.  In addition, this Update provides a practical expedient under which lessors may elect, by 
class of underlying assets, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component, similar to the expedient 
provided for lessees. However, the lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the nonlease component or 
components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance and both (a) the timing and pattern of transfer are 
the same for the nonlease component(s) and associated lease component and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, 
would be classified as an operating lease. If the nonlease component or components associated with the lease component are the 
predominant component of the combined component, an entity should account for the combined component in accordance with 
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Otherwise, the entity should account for the combined component as an 
operating lease in accordance with ASC 842. If a lessor elects the practical expedient, certain disclosures are required. This Update 
is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal 
years, with early adoption permitted.  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.  This Update is not expected to have a 
significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes the 
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements.  The Update removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons 
for transfers between Level I and Level II of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the 
valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. The Update requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and 
losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level III fair value measurements held at the 
end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level III fair 
value measurements. This Update is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning 
after December 15, 2019.  This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends ASC 
715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The 
Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized 
as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a 
one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost 
and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal 
years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis.  For all other entities, this Update is effective 
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021.  This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s 
financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).
This Update addresses customers’ accounting  for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service 
contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud 
computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting 
arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain 
internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This Update is effective for public 
business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early 
adoption permitted.  For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and 
interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments in this Update can be applied either 
retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. This Update is not expected to 
have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).  The amendments in this Update permit 
use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest 
rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. 
government, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the 
Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate.  For entities that have not already adopted 
Update 2017-12, the amendments in this Update are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in Update 2017-12.  
For public business entities that already have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the amendments are effective for fiscal 
years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities that already have 

59adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, 
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this Update if an 
entity already has adopted Update 2017-12. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial 
statements.

In November, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), which made the following targeted 
improvements  to  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  (GAAP)  for  collaborative  arrangements  (1)  clarified  that  certain 
transactions  between  collaborative  arrangement  participants  should  be  accounted  for  as  revenue  under  Topic  606  when  the 
collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 
808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606  (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative 
arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606, and (3) require that in a transaction with a collaborative 
arrangement  participant  that  is  not  directly  related  to  sales  to  third  parties,  presenting  the  transaction  together  with  revenue 
recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.  For public business entities, 
the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those 
fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim 
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the 
Corporation’s financial statements.

In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), which addressed implementation questions arising from 
stakeholders in regard to ASU 2016-02, Leases.  Specifically addressed in this Update were issues related to 1) sales taxes and 
other similar taxes collected from lessees, 2) certain lessor costs, and 3) recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease 
and nonlease components.  The amendments in this Update affect the amendments in  Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective 
but can be early adopted. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the 
effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02 (for example, January 1, 2019, for calendar-year-end public business 
entities). The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial 
position  or  results  of  operations.  Based  on  the  Corporation’s  preliminary  analysis  of  its  current  portfolio,  the  impact  to  the 
Corporation’s balance sheet is estimated to result in an increase of $10,294,000 in assets and liabilities. The Corporation also 
anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

The adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial 
Assets and Financial Liabilities requires equity securities to run through the income statement and therefore the reclassification 
of prior accumulated losses are reflected above. 

60 
The preceding table includes current guidance issued related to Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): 
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02"). The Corporation has 
elected to reclassify the portion in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) that would have been otherwise stranded. 
Amounts were reclassified for both components included in AOCI and their ending balance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 
is net of tax at the 21% corporate tax rate, and at 34% corporate tax rate as of December 31, 2016. 

The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income shown, net of tax and parenthesis indicating debits to net 
income, as of December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 were as follows:

There  are  no  convertible  securities  which  would  affect  the  denominator  in  calculating  basic  and  dilutive  earnings  per  share; 
therefore, net income as presented on the consolidated statement of income will be used as the numerator.  The following table

There were a total of 263,700 non-qualified employee stock options (Note 14) outstanding on December 31, 2018 that had a 
weighted average strike price of $45.12. Options on December 31, 2017 had an average strike price of $43.59 with a total of 93,500
options outstanding. Grants outstanding at year-end 2016 totaled to 26,500 options with an average strike price of $42.03.  These 
options were excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for all periods presented due 
to the average market price of common shares being less than the strike price of the options.

At December 31, 2018 there were 23 individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months 
and 47 individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.

The Corporation reviews its position quarterly and has asserted that at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the declines outlined in the 
above table represent temporary declines and the Corporation does not intend to sell and does not believe they will be required to 
sell  these  securities  before  recovery  of  their  cost  basis,  which  may  be  at  maturity.  The  Corporation  has  concluded  that  any 
impairment of its investment securities portfolio is not other than temporary but is the result of interest rate changes that are not 
expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2018, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected 
maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without 
call or prepayment penalties.

There were no impairment charges included in gross realized losses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016.

Investment securities with a carrying value of approximately $73,327,000 and $89,736,000  at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 
respectively, were pledged to secure certain deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes as required by law.

Equity securities consist of Community Reinvestment Act funds along with other smaller investments in other financial institutions. 
At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $1,776,000 and $2,516,000, respectively, in equity securities recorded at 
fair value. Prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities were stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate 
component of AOCI, net of tax.  At December 31, 2017, net unrealized gains of $679,000 had been recognized in AOCI. On 
January 1, 2018, these unrealized gains and losses were reclassified out of AOCI and into retained earnings with subsequent 
changes in fair value being recognized in net equity securities gains (losses). The following is a summary of unrealized and realized 
gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2018:

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK

The Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh and as such, are required to maintain a minimum 
investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of advances outstanding with the FHLB.  The stock is bought from and 
sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value.  The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and as such is classified 
as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment as necessary.  The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate 
recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will 
ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB 
as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted (b) commitments by the FHLB to make 
payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance (c) the impact of 
legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the liquidity position of the FHLB.

Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein.  Management 
considered that the FHLB maintains regulatory capital ratios in excess of all regulatory capital requirements, liquidity appears 
adequate, new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value, and the payment of dividends.

NOTE 6 - LOAN CREDIT QUALITY AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Management segments the Banks' loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar risk 
characteristics.  Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics.  Categories include commercial, financial,
and agricultural, real estate, consumer automobile, and other consumer installment loans.  Real estate loans are further 
segmented into three categories: residential, commercial, and construction.

The following table presents the related aging categories of loans, by segment, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual 
terms of the loan agreement.  The Banks individually evaluate such loans for impairment and do not aggregate loans by major 
risk classifications.  The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two 
categories  overlap.   The  Banks  may  choose  to  place  a  loan  on  non-accrual  status  due  to  payment  delinquency  or  uncertain 
collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include 
payment status and collateral value.  The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between 
the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a 
practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded 
amount of the loan.  When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than 
$100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard or worse.  Management may also elect 
to measure an individual loan for impairment if less than $100,000 on a case by case basis.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans 
and are measured for impairment collectively with the exception of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans that 

66 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management 
determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding 
the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in 
relation to the principal and interest owed.  Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent to the Banks' policy on non-
accrual loans.

The following table presents the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance, and related allowance of impaired loans by segment

At December 31, 2018, additional funds totaling $14,000 are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

Modifications

The loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic 
concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties.  These 
concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, 
forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions.  Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure 
and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable 
period, generally six months.

There were no loan modifications considered troubled debt restructurings made during the twelve months previous to December 
31, 2017 that have defaulted during the corresponding twelve month period.  

Internal Risk Ratings

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six
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.  All loans greater than 90 days past due are evaluated 
for Substandard classification.  Loans in the Doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the Substandard loans, 
however, the weaknesses are more pronounced.  Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable.  However, these loans 
are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.  Loans classified Loss are considered 
uncollectible and charge-off is imminent.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the 
Banks  have  a  structured  loan  rating  process  with  several  layers  of  internal  and  external  oversight.   Generally,  consumer  and 
residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death 

70 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  An external annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, 
as well as a sample of smaller transactions.  During 2018, the threshold for the annual loan review was commercial relationships 
$1,750,000 or greater for JSSB and $1,500,000 or greater for Luzerne.  Confirmation of the appropriate risk category is included 
in the review.  Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard, Doubtful, or 
Loss on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on management’s 
continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, 
diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss experience, and the amount of non-
performing loans.

The Banks' methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually 
evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as 
well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The 
total of the two components represents the Banks' ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  Allowances 
are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality monitoring.  Loans that 
are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation.  A general allowance is determined for 
“Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that are not individually evaluated 
for impairment.

For the general allowances historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss 
amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter moving 
average.  However, management may adjust the moving average time frame by up to four quarters to adjust for variances in the 
economic cycle.  Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical 
charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ 
from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from 
internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in 
delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, 
ability, and depth of lending staff; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry, and/or geographic standpoint. There 
was a substantial increase in our indirect loan portfolio in 2018 which resulted in an increase of 10 basis points within this qualitative 
factor. Recent industry losses in construction loans warrants a higher qualitative factor. Additionally, the tenure of our credit 
department allowed us to incur a slight adjustment within our experience factor. Due to an increase in foreclosures nationally, we 
adjusted our residential loans category accordingly. 

71 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are 
closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.  Management also monitors industry loss factors 
by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  
When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the 
ALL.

Over the last three years, various quantitative and qualitative factors indicate changes in our provision for loan losses. The provision 
for commercial and agricultural loans increased based on changes in the economic cycle and our historical loss factors within this 
loan type. The change in the provision for residential real estate loans vary based on our observations of industry trends during 
2018 in national and market area foreclosure rates. The provision for this loan type is adjusted by national indices as well as our 
historical losses.  The provision for commercial and construction real estate loans declined as losses have been minimal and 
collateral positions have strenghtened. The provision for consumer automobiles has increased over the last three years. This is due 
to the increasing trend in volume of loans we have within this loan type. The provision for other consumer installment loans has 
remained steady in recent years based on consistent national and economic trends.

The Corporation grants commercial, industrial, residential, and installment loans to customers throughout north-central and north-
eastern Pennsylvania.  Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio at December 31, 2018 and 2017, a substantial 
portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within this region.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate held at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, totaled $624,000 and $422,000, 
respectively.  Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are 
in process at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, totaled $167,000 and $378,000, respectively.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, goodwill had a gross carrying value of $17,380,000 and accumulated amortization of $276,000
resulting in a net carrying amount of $17,104,000.

The gross carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment in the third quarter of each fiscal year.  Based on the fair value of 
the reporting unit, estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, there was no evidence of impairment of the 
carrying amount at December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Identifiable  intangibles  are  amortized  to  their  estimated  residual  values  over  the  expected  useful  lives.  Such  lives  are  also 
periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are required.  Since the acquisition, no such adjustments 
were recorded.  The identifiable intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible and a trade name intangible which are being 
amortized on an accelerated basis, and also book of business intangible that is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 
useful life of such assets.  The net carrying amount of the core deposit intangible, the trade name intangible, and the book of 
business intangible at December 31, 2018 was $413,000, $30,000, and $719,000 respectively, with $1,468,000, $103,000, and 
$301,000 accumulated amortization as of that date. 

As of December 31, 2018, the estimated future amortization expense for the core deposit and trade name intangible was:

The expected long-term rate of return was estimated using market benchmarks by which the plan assets would outperform the 
market value in the future, based on historical experience adjusted for changes in asset allocation and expectations for overall 
lower future returns on similar investments compared to past periods.

Plan Assets

The Plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2018 and 2017 by asset category are as follows:

The investment objective for the Plan is to maximize total return with tolerance for slightly above average risk, meaning the fund 
is able to tolerate short-term volatility to achieve above-average returns over the long term.

Asset allocation favors equities, with target allocation of approximately 62% equity securities, 15.0% fixed income securities, 
10% inflation hedges/real assets, 10% hedged strategies, and 3% cash.  Due to volatility in the market, the target allocation is not 
always desirable and asset allocations will fluctuate between the acceptable ranges.  The equity portfolio’s exposure is primarily 
in mid and large capitalization domestic equities with limited exposure to small capitalization and international stocks.

It is management’s intent to give the investment managers flexibility, within the overall guidelines, with respect to investment 
decisions and their timing. However, certain investments require specific review and approval by management.  Management is 
also informed of anticipated, significant modifications of any previously approved investment, or anticipated use of derivatives 
to execute investment strategies.

The Corporation expects to contribute a minimum of $500,000 to its Pension Plan in 2019.

401(k) Savings Plan

The  Corporation  also  offers  a  401(k) savings  plan  in  which  eligible  participating  employees  may  elect  to  contribute  up  to  a 
maximum percentage allowable not to exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(k), 404, and 415.  The Corporation may make 
matching contributions equal to a discretionary percentage that is determined by the Board of Directors.  Participants are at all 
times fully vested in their contributions and vest over a period of five years regarding the employer contribution.  Contribution 
expense  was  approximately  $428,000,  $369,000,  and  $215,000  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2018,  2017,  and  2016, 
respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Corporation has a deferred compensation plan whereby participating directors elect to forego directors’ fees paid in cash.  
Under this plan, the Corporation will make payments for a ten-year period beginning at the later of age 65 or ceasing to be a 
director in most cases or at death, if earlier, at which time payments would be made to their designated beneficiaries.

To fund benefits under the deferred compensation plan, the Corporation has acquired bank-owned life insurance policies on the 
lives of the participating directors for which insurance benefits are payable to the Corporation. The Corporation incurred expenses 
related to the plan of $370,000, $330,000, and $303,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.  
Benefits paid under the plan were approximately $59,000, $79,000, and $85,000 in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTIONS 

In 2014, the Corporation adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan designed to help the Corporation attract, retain, and motivate 
employees and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock may be granted 
as part of the plan.

On March 24, 2017, the Corporation issued 70,000 stock options with a strike price of $44.21 to employees. The options granted 
in 2017 all expire ten years from the grant date; however, of the 70,000 grants awarded, 46,250 of the options have a three year 
vesting period while the remaining 23,750 options vest in five years. The Corporation issued a total of 174,700 stock options 
during 2018 and expire ten years from the grant date. On January 5, 2018 a total of 25,000 options were issued and the remaining 
149,700 options were issued on August 24, 2018. Of the 174,700 options issued, 62,700 have a vesting period of three years and 
the remaining 112,000 options vest in five years.

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis 
over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the 
value of the vested portion of the award at that date. The Corporation determines the fair value of options granted using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury bond with a similar term to the 
expected life of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility was estimated based on the adjusted historic volatility of the 
Corporation’s shares. The expected life was estimated to equal the contractual life of the options. The dividend yield rate was 
based upon recent historical dividends paid on shares.

For  the  years  ended  December 31,  2018,  2017,  and  2016  there  was  $486,000,  $29,000,  and  $19,000  in  total  share-based 
compensation expense, respectively. The compensation expense is recorded as part of the non-interest expenses in the Consolidated 
Statement of Income. 

As of December 31, 2018, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options was $1,685,000 which is expected 
to be recognized over a period of 3.69 years.

NOTE 15 - EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The  Corporation  maintains  the  Penns Woods  Bancorp, Inc.  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan  (“Plan”). The  Plan  is  intended  to 
encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Corporation. The Plan allows for up to 1,000,000
shares to be purchased by employees.  The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to 
purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually. There were 2,359 and 2,230 shares 
issued under the plan for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and the Banks, including their immediate families and companies in 
which they are principal owners (more than ten percent), are indebted to the Corporation.  Such indebtedness was incurred in the 
ordinary course of business on the same terms and at those rates prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.

A summary of loan activity with executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and associates of such persons is listed below 
for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The Corporation’s operating lease obligations represent short and long-term lease and rental payments for facilities and equipment.  
Total rental expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $583,000, $584,000, 
and $573,000, respectively.

The Corporation is subject to lawsuits and claims arising out of its business.  There are no such legal proceedings or claims currently 
pending or threatened other than those encountered during the normal course of business.

NOTE 18 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing 
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These 
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in 
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Corporation 
has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments 
to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Corporation uses 
the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  The 
Corporation may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration 
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without 
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.  The Corporation 
evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by 
the Corporation, on an extension of credit is based on management’s credit assessment of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer 
to a third party.  These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance related contracts.  The coverage period for 
these instruments is typically a one year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management.  Fees 
earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the coverage period.  For secured letters of credit, the 
collateral is typically Bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

NOTE 19 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Federal regulations require the Corporation and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts of capital.  Specifically, each is required 
to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1, Total, and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 
and of Tier 1 capital to average total assets.

In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) established five
capital  categories  ranging  from  “well  capitalized”  to  “critically  undercapitalized.”   Should  any  institution  fail  to  meet  the 
requirements to be considered “adequately capitalized,” it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory 
actions.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the FDIC categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt 
corrective action.  To be classified as a well capitalized financial institution, common equity tier I risk-based, tier I risked-based, 
total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. 

.

84 
The Corporation’s and the Banks' actual capital ratios (using the definitions from the prompt corrective action rules) are presented 
in the following tables, which shows that the Corporation and both Banks met all regulatory capital requirements.

NOTE 20 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of capital funds for payment of dividends by all state-chartered banks. 
Accordingly,  at  December 31,  2018,  the  balance  in  the  additional  paid  in  capital  account  totaling  $11,657,000  for  JSSB  and 
$42,214,000 for Luzerne is unavailable for dividends.

The Banks are subject to regulatory restrictions, which limit the ability to loan funds to Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.  At December 31, 
2018, the regulatory lending limit amounted to approximately $18,895,000.

Cash and Due from Banks

JSSB and Luzerne had no reserve requirements by the district Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2018 or 2017; however, if 
they did they would be reported with cash and due from banks.  The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed ratios 
to the classes of average deposit balances.  These are held in the form of cash on hand and a balance maintained directly with the 
Federal Reserve Bank.

NOTE 21 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Level I:

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

Level II:

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

Level III:

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

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

The following table presents the assets reported on the balance sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 
2018 and 2017, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the 
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation 

expenses.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s impaired loans using the discounted 
cash flow valuation technique include temporary changes in payment amounts and the probability of default.  Significant increases 
(decreases) in payment amounts would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.  The probability of default 
is 0% for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted impaired loans are valued using 
the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s impaired loans using the appraisal of 
collateral valuation technique include appraisal adjustments, which are adjustments to appraisals by management for qualitative 
factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The significant unobservable input used in the fair value 
measurement of the Corporation’s other real estate owned are the same inputs used to value impaired loans using the appraisal of 
collateral valuation technique.

NOTE 22 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments.  Fair values are made at a specific point in time, 
based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These fair values do not reflect any premium 
or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  
Also, it is the Corporation’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage 
in trading or sales activities.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair 
values are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of 
various financial instruments, and other factors.  These fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters 
of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the 
fair values.

Fair values have been determined by the Corporation using historical data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category 
of financial instruments.  The Corporation’s fair values, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Corporation’s other 
financial instruments.

As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of the 
Corporation, are not considered financial instruments but have value, the fair value of financial instruments would not represent 
the full fair value of the Corporation.

The fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments not required to be measured or reported at fair value are as follows at 
December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The methods and assumptions used by the Corporation in estimating fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2018 is 
in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2016-01 which requires public entities to use exit 
pricing in the calculation of the above tables. Prior period fair value calculations were ran on the assumption of entry pricing and 
therefore the comparability between the periods above are diminished.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trading Securities, Loans Held for Sale, Accrued Interest Receivable, Short-term Borrowings, 
and Accrued Interest Payable:

The fair value is equal to the carrying value.

Investment Debt Securities and Equity Securities:

The fair value of investment securities available for sale and investment equity securities are equal to the available quoted market 
price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is determined by using the quoted market price for similar securities.  
Regulatory stocks’ fair value is equal to the carrying value.

Loans:

Fair values are determined for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as 
commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, construction real estate, and other consumer.  Each loan category is 
further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using market 
discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.  The estimate of maturity is based on the Corporation’s 
historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current 
economic and lending conditions.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals.  If appraisals are not available, estimated 
cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows.  Assumptions regarding 
credit risk, cash flows, and discounted rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower 
information.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance:

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Deposits:

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW, and money market 
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.  The fair value of certificates of deposit 
is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

The fair values above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared 
to the cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Long Term Borrowings:

The fair value of long term borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial Guarantees Written:

There is no material difference between the notional amount and the fair value of off-balance sheet items at December 31, 2018
and 2017.  The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 18.

Note 25.  Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all 
subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and applied the guidance to all contracts in 
scope that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented 
under Topic  606,  while  prior  period  amounts  were  not  adjusted  and  continue  to  be  reported  in  accordance  with  our  historic 
accounting under Topic 605.

The core principle of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is that an entity recognize revenue at an amount that 
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. 
Topic 606 requires entities to exercise more judgment when considering the terms of a contract than under Topic 605, Revenue 
Recognition. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, 
except for contracts that are specifically excluded from its scope. 

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with interest income on financial instruments, including loans and securities. 
Additionally, certain noninterest income streams such as certain credit and debit card fees, income from bank owned life insurance, 
and gain and losses on sales of investment securities are out of scope of Topic 606.

Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, merchant income, wire transfer 
income, check cashing fees, check printing fees, safe deposit box rental fees, life insurance and brokerage commissions. These 
revenue streams are largely transactional based and revenue is recognized upon completion of transaction. 

Principal versus Agent Considerations

When more than one party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, Topic 606 requires the Corporation to determine 
whether it is the principal or an agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. An entity is a 
principal and therefore records revenue on a gross basis if it controls a promised good or service before transferring that good or 
service to the customer. An entity is an agent and records as revenue the net amount it retains for its agency services if its role is 
to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services. The Corporation most commonly acts as a principal and records 
revenue on a gross basis, except in certain circumstances. As an example, revenues earned from interchange fees, in which the 
Corporation acts as an agent, are recorded as non-interest income, net of the related expenses paid to the principal. Brokerage and 
insurance  commissions  are  recognized  when The  M  Group's  services  to  the  broker  dealer  and  investment  representative  are 
complete.

Debit Card Fees

Interchange fees are one source of debit and credit card income that is comprised of an amount merchants pay card-issuing banks 
for the processing of their electronic transactions as a form of payment. ATM service charges, check card usage, and POS debit 
card transactions generate interchange and debit card income. Per Topic 606 interchange and debit card transaction fees are reported 
net of related network costs. See Note 1 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, non-interest 
expense included network costs. Interchange and debit card transaction fees at December 31, 2018 are reported on a net basis of
$1,534,000; for the corresponding periods of 2017 and 2016 such amounts were $1,312,000 and $1,327,000, respectively. The 
below table compares gross interchange and debit card transaction fees net network costs for 2018, 2017 and 2016:

ITEM 9A  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s 
Chief  Executive  Officer  along  with  the  Corporation’s  President  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  conducted  an  evaluation  of  the 
effectiveness as of December 31, 2018 of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, as 
such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s 
President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s 
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2018.

There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2018 that 
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting 
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting 
is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements 
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard 
No. 2),  or a  combination of  significant deficiencies, that results  in there being  more than a  remote likelihood that a  material 
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by management or 
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. 
Management’s assessment did not identify any material weaknesses in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission ("COSO") in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by COSO in May 2013.  Because there were no material 
weaknesses discovered, management believes that, as of December 31, 2018, the Corporation’s internal control over financial 
reporting was effective.

S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included 
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, as part of the audit, has issued  a report, which appears below, on the effectiveness of 
the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. 

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, of the Company, and our report dated March 12, 2019, 
expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for 
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s 
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB 
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and 
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was 
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial 
reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures 
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly 
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on 
the financial statements.

95Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED

Exhibit 3 (i)

1.              The name of the corporation is Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.

2.              The location and post office address of the initial registered office of the corporation in this Commonwealth is 115 S. 

Main Street, Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania 17740.

3.              The corporation is incorporated under the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the 
following purpose or purposes:  To have unlimited power to engage in and do any lawful act concerning any or all lawful 
business for which corporations may be incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The corporation is incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Act of May 5, 1933, P.L. 364 as amended).

4.              The term for which the corporation is to exist is perpetual.

5.              The corporation shall have authority to issue (i) fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of common stock, par value 

$8.33 per share, and (ii) three million (3,000,000) shares of preferred stock, having such par value as the Board of Directors 
shall fix and determine (the “Preferred Stock”).  The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time as a class without 
series or, if so determined by the Board of Directors of the corporation, either in whole or in part, in one or more series.  
There is hereby expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the corporation authority to fix and determine 
(except as fixed and determined herein), by resolution, the par value, voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and 
such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, 
limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, including specifically, but not limited to, the dividend rights, conversion rights, 
redemption rights and liquidation preferences, if any, of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock (or the entire class of 
Preferred Stock if none of such shares have been issued), the number of shares constituting any such series and the terms and 
conditions of the issue thereof.  Prior to the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock, a statement setting forth a copy of each 
such resolution or resolutions and the number of shares of Preferred Stock of each such class or series shall be executed and 
filed in accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law.  Unless otherwise provided in any such resolution or 
resolutions, the number of shares of capital stock of any such class or series so set forth in such resolution or resolutions may 
thereafter be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding), by a statement likewise executed 
and filed setting forth a statement that a specified increase or decrease therein had been authorized and directed by a 
resolution or resolutions likewise adopted by the Board of Directors of the corporation.  In case the number of such shares 
shall be decreased, the number of shares so specified in the statement shall resume the status they had prior to the adoption of 
the first resolution or resolutions.

6.              The name(s) and post office address(es) of each incorporator(s) and the number and class of shares subscribed for by

7.              Cumulative voting rights shall not exist with respect to the election of directors.

8.              A.   The Board of Directors may, if it deems it advisable, oppose a tender, or other offer for the corporation’s securities, 

whether the offer is in cash or in securities of a corporation or otherwise.  When considering whether to oppose an offer, the 
Board of Directors may, but it is not legally obligated to, consider any pertinent issues; by way of illustration, but not of 
limitation, the Board of Directors may, but shall not be legally obligated to, consider any and all of the following:

(1)         Whether the offer price is acceptable based on the historical and present operating results or financial condition of 

the corporation.

(2)         Whether a more favorable price could be obtained for the corporation’s securities in the future.

(3)         The impact which an acquisition of the corporation would have on its employees, depositors and customers of the 

corporation and its subsidiaries in the community which they serve.

103 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(4)         The reputation and business practices of the offeror and its management and affiliates as they would affect the 

employees, depositors and customers of the corporation and its subsidiaries and the future value of the corporation’s 
stock.

(5)         The value of the securities, if any, which the offeror is offering in exchange for the corporation’s securities, based 

on an analysis of the worth of the corporation as compared to the corporation or other entity whose securities are being 
offered.

(6)         Any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are raised by the offer.

B.   If the Board of Directors determines that an offer should be rejected, it may take any lawful action to accomplish its 
purpose including, but not limited to, any and all of the following: advising shareholders not to accept the offer; litigation 
against the offeror; filing complaints with all governmental and regulatory authorities; acquiring the authorized but unissued 
securities or treasury stock or granting options with respect thereto; acquiring a company to create an antitrust or other 
regulatory problem for the offeror; and obtaining a more favorable offer from another individual or entity.

9.              The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes, the respective terms of office of which 
shall end in successive years.  The number of directors in each class shall be specified in the Bylaws and shall be nearly as 
equal as possible.  Unless they are elected to fill vacancies, the directors in each class shall be elected to hold office until the 
third successive annual meeting of shareholders after their election and until their successors shall have been elected and 
qualified.  At each annual meeting of shareholders the directors of only one class shall be elected, except directors who may 
be elected to fill vacancies.

10.       No holder of shares of any class or of any series of any class shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for, purchase or 
receive any shares of the corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, or any obligations or other securities convertible 
into or carrying options to purchase any such shares of the corporation, or any options or rights to purchase any such shares 
or securities, issued or sold by the corporation for cash or any other form of consideration, and any such shares, securities or 
rights may be issued or disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons and on such terms as the Board in its discretion 
shall deem advisable.

11.       The corporation shall have authority to borrow money and the Board of Directors, without the approval of the shareholders 
and acting within their sole discretion, shall have the authority to issue debt instruments of the corporation upon such terms 
and conditions and with such limitation as the Board of Directors deems advisable.  The authority of the Board of Directors 
shall include, but not be limited to, the power to issue convertible debentures.

12.       Every person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or of any corporation which he 

served as such at the request of the corporation, shall be indemnified by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law 
against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him in connection with any proceeding to which 
he may be made, or threatened to be made, any party, or in which he may become involved by reason of his being or having 
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of such other corporation, whether or not he is a director, 
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or such other corporation at the time the expenses or liabilities are incurred.

 13.       No merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the corporation nor any action that would result in the sale or other 
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative 
vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and 2/3 percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  This 
Article 12 may not be amended unless first approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and 2/3 
percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this Article 13 shall not apply to any merger, consolidation, share exchange or 
similar transaction involving the Corporation if (i) members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation will constitute at 
least a majority of the Board of Directors of the surviving or new corporation or entity immediately after the transaction and 
(ii) shareholders of the Corporation will hold in the aggregate voting shares of the surviving or new corporation or entity to 
be outstanding immediately after completion of the transaction entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be 
cast generally for the election of directors.  This Article may not be amended unless first approved by the affirmative vote of 
the holders of at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in addition to 
any other vote of security holders otherwise required by these Articles of Incorporation or by law.
