1 Dear Shareholder,
2019 was an exceptional year for Penns Woods Bancorp. We built upon past strategic initiatives to gain
market share and maximize returns. Our balance sheet construction responded well to both the interest rate
and economic environments. We thank you for your patience over the years as strategic initiatives do not
always pay immediate returns.
We would like to mention that we continue to grow our franchise by building out our new insurance
company, United Insurance Solutions, reorganizing The Comprehensive Financial Group, and reallocating
additional resources to the commercial lending division. We have completed two new branches in the
Luzerne market and have entered into lease agreements to expand into Bellefonte, Centre County and
Altoona, Blair County in the JSSB market. The move to Blair County will be significant as it opens a large
market for future growth.

ITEM 1
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 252 persons, Luzerne employed 78 persons, and The M Group employed 4 persons as of December 31, 2019 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.
13
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.
As noted in the discussion below relating Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the FRB, effective
August 30, 2018, raised the threshold of its "Small Bank Holding Company" exception to the application of consolidated capital
requirements for qualifying small bank holding companies from $1 billion to $3 billion of consolidated assets. Consequently, bank
holding companies having less than $3 billion of consolidated assets are not subject to the consolidated capital requirements unless
otherwise directed by the FRB.
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.
14
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
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.
Under the FDIC's risk-based assessment system, insured institutions were previously assigned one of four risk categories based
on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institution's assessment rate depended largely
on the category to which it was assigned, with institutions deemed less risky paying lower FDIC deposit insurance premiums. The
Dodd-Frank Act required the FDIC to revise its procedures to base deposit insurance assessments on each insured institution's
total assets less tangible equity instead of deposits and also mandated that the Deposit Insurance Fund achieve a reserve ratio of
1.35% of insured deposits by September 2020. Effective April 1, 2011, the range of possible base assessments was set between
2.5 and 45 basis points of total assets less tangible equity. Effective July 1, 2016, the FDIC eliminated the previously utilized risk
categories and based assessments for most banks on certain financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical
modeling estimating the probability of failure over three years, and also set maximum rates for institutions with composite CAMELS
ratings of 1 or 2 and minimum rates for other institutions. In connection with the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio achieving
1.5% in July 2016, the total base assessment range (after possible adjustments) was reduced for most banks to 1.5 basis points to
30 basis points. As of the September 2019 assessment date, when the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio reached or exceeded
1.38%, banks with less than $10 billion of total consolidated assets began receiving certain "small bank assessment credits" for
the portion of their assessments that contributed to the growth in the FDIC's fund reserve ratio from 1.15% to 1.35%; credits will
be applied so long as the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio is at or above 1.35%.
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, 2019, the Banks had $156,333,000 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, 2019, the Banks had $13,023,000
in stock of the FHLB, which was in compliance with this requirement.

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018
In May 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
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.
In September 2019, the federal banking agencies approved the final rule to implement the provisions of Section 201 of the
Regulatory Relief Act. Under the new rule, which was effective January 1, 2020, a qualifying community banking organization
is defined as a depository institution or depository institution holding company with less than $10 billion in assets. A qualifying
community banking organization has the option to elect the Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR") framework if its CBLR
is greater than 9% and it has off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of consolidated assets, and trading assets and liabilities
of 5% or less of total consolidated assets. The leverage ratio for purposes of the CBLR is calculated as Tier I capital divided by
average total assets, consistent with the manner banking organizations calculate the leverage ratio under generally applicable
capital rules. 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. For institutions that fall below the 9% capital requirement but remain
above 8%, are allowed a two quarter grace period to either meet the qualifying criteria again or to comply with the generally
applicable capital rules.
The Corporation continues to analyze the changes implemented by the Regulatory Relief Act, including the CBLR framework
included in the recently adopted final rules. The Corporation has not elected at this time to utilize the CBLR framework. 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
16 $250,000 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
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.
17 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, 2019, JSSB had total assets of $1,231,224,000; total
shareholders’ equity of $99,076,000; and total deposits of $942,192,000. JSSB's deposits are insured by the FDIC for the maximum
amount provided under current law.
Luzerne was acquired by the Corporation on June 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2019, Luzerne had total assets of $453,131,000;
total shareholders’ equity of $53,169,000; and total deposits of $382,260,000. 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.
18
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
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 7% 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.
19
20 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.
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.
21 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.
22 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 2023.
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 for loan losses 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 2, 2020, the Corporation had approximately 1,208 shareholders of record.
Following is a schedule of the shares of the Corporation’s common stock purchased by the Corporation during the fourth quarter

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 2019 and 2018 and 34% for 2017. The tax equivalent
adjustments to net interest income for 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $489,000, $700,000, and $1,281,000, respectively.
2019 vs. 2018
Reported net interest income increased $3,005,000 to $50,815,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2018, as growth in the earning asset portfolio was coupled with the yield on earning assets increasing to
4.33% from 4.06%. Total interest income increased $8,028,000 primarily from the growth in the average balance of the loan
portfolio along with an 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
$6,341,000 due to a $50,797,000 increase in the average balance in the loan portfolio coupled with a 31 basis point ("bp") increase
in the loan portfolio yield . Interest and dividend income generated from the investment portfolio on a tax equivalent basis increased
$1,224,000 due to a $23,443,000 increase in the average balance in the investment portfolio and a 30 bp increase in the average
rate.
Interest expense increased $5,023,000 to $15,959,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018. The increase in
interest expense was driven by growth in interest bearing deposits, primarily time deposits. The average rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities increased 35 bp to 1.34% for 2019. The average rate paid on time deposits increased 55 bp as the time deposit
portfolio was lengthened and utilized to reduce total borrowings. Interest expense paid on super now deposits increased $725,000
due to a $5,931,000 increase in the average balance and a 30 bp increase in the average rate. Money market interest expense
increased $970,000 due to an increase in average rate paid of 41 bp.
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 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.

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
semi-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
31
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, 2019, 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 declined from $13,837,000 at December 31, 2018 to $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019. At
December 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was 0.88% of total loans compared to 1.00% of total loans at December 31,
2018. This decline is due to a partial charge off of a commercial relationship of $3,700,000 that was incurred during 2019.
The provision for loan losses totaled $2,735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $1,735,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018. The increase in the provision was appropriate when considering the gross loan growth and level of net charge-
offs during 2019. Net charge-offs of $4,678,000 represented 0.34% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2019
compared to net charge-offs of $756,000 or 0.06% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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 decreased $4,151,000 as a large nonperforming loan was partially charge-
off during the fourth quarter of 2019. 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, level of net charge-offs, and decreased level of nonperforming loans noted
previously, dictated a increase 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.
2018 vs. 2017
The allowance for loan losses decreased 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.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
2019 vs. 2018
Total non-interest income increased $991,000 from the year ended December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. Excluding net
security gains, non-interest income increased $29,000 year over year. Bank owned life insurance income decreased due to a
decrease in the earnings rate. Insurance commissions along with brokerage commissions increased due to a shift in product mix.
32 Gain on sale of loans increased due to increased volume. Debit card income decreased to $1,378,000 for 2019, a decrease of
$156,000 or 10.17%, from 2018, primarily due to a decline in debit card usage.

Total non-interest expenses increased $1,701,000 from the year ended December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The increase
in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased primarily due to normal annual wage increases. Furniture and
equipment expense and software amortization increased due to the new branch locations opened in 2018 and continued enhancement
of systems. Market expenses decreased as targeted marketing has decreased in the localities where branches opened during 2018.
The increase in professional fees of $368,000 is primarily due to increases in legal fees. The decrease in deposit insurance reflects
the FDIC assessment credit that was recorded during 2019. Other expenses increased from the year ended December 31, 2018 to
December 31, 2019 by $912,000 the main driver of this increase was an increase in data processing expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENTS
2019
The fair value of the investment portfolio increased $13,834,000 from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The increase
in value is the result of growth in the corporate 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 79% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by either S&P or
Moody’s.
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.

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
2019
Gross loans of $1,355,544,000 at December 31, 2019 represented a decrease of $29,213,000 from December 31, 2018. The
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural loan portfolio had the largest decrease from the previous year as emphasis was shifted
to other segments of the loan portfolio. Indirect auto lending continued to grow within the portfolio as the product continued to
expand in northeast Pennsylvania. 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
decreased $8,434,000 but remained at approximately 27% of the total 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
2019
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 semi-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 decreased from $13,837,000 at December 31, 2018 to $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019. At
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.88% and 1.00%, respectively. 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 $4,678,000
or 0.34% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2019 negated the impact of the provision for loan losses of $2,735,000.
The increase in net loan charge-offs is a result of one large charge-off in the commercial, financial, and agricultural portfolio during
the fourth quarter of 2019. 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.
2018
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.

NONPERFORMING LOANS
The decrease in nonperforming loans during 2019 is primarily due to a non-accrual commercial loan that was partially charged-
off in the fourth quarter of 2019. 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.
39
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
2019 vs. 2018
Total average deposits increased $113,881,000 or 9.54% from 2018 to 2019. The time deposit portfolio average balance for 2019
increased $86,349,000 to $345,635,000 as time deposits were utilized as an attraction tool and to lengthen the average maturity
of the interest bearing liability portfolio.
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.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
2019
Shareholders’ equity increased $11,400,000 to $155.0 million at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. The change
in accumulated other comprehensive loss from $6.6 million at December 31, 2018 to $2.8 million at December 31, 2019 is a result
of an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities (from an unrealized loss of $1.4 million at December 31, 2018
to an unrealized gain of $2.5 million at December 31, 2019). The amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31,
2019 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 decrease in the net loss of $44,000. The current level of shareholders’ equity equates
to a book value per share of $22.01 at December 31, 2019 compared to $20.39 at December 31, 2018, and an equity to asset ratio
of 9.31% at December 31, 2019 compared to 8.52% at December 31, 2018. Dividends declared for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.25 per share.
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
40
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.
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, 2019, 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, 2019, except for
Net Loans to Total Deposits which was at 101.5%:
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-
41
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
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 $597,509,000 with $156,333,000 utilized, leaving $441,176,000 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, 2020 assuming a static balance sheet as
of December 31, 2019.

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
42
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.
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.
43 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, 2019, 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.

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.

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 Insurance 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").
52
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 semi-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, 2019, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions
53 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.
54 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 2019, 2018, or 2017.
Intangible Assets
At December 31, 2019, the Corporation had intangible assets of $281,000 as a result of the acquisition of Luzerne National Bank
Corporation, which is net of accumulated amortization of $1,733,000. 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 $617,000, which
is net of accumulated amortization of $403,000, 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 two partnerships at December 31, 2019 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 $630,000
at December 31, 2019 and $218,000 at December 31, 2018. 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 $184,000 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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
55 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
56 (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 February 2016, the FASB issued the Leasing Standard, which is codified in ASC 842, Leases, and is intended to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations and require lessees to record a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a liability
representing the obligation to make lease payments for long-term leases. Accounting by lessors remains largely unchanged. The
Company adopted the Standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition under the option to apply the
Leasing Standard at its effective date without adjusting the prior period comparative financial statements. Among other things,
these updates require lessees to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, related to the lessee's obligation to
make lease payments arising under a lease contract; and a right-of-use asset related to the lessee’s right to use, or control the use
of, a specified asset for the lease term. On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded operating lease liabilities and ROU asset of
$4,300,000 and finance lease liabilities and ROU asset of $6,000,000 million upon adoption of the Standard. The balance sheet
effects of the new lease accounting standard also impacted regulatory capital ratios, performance ratios and other measures which
are dependent upon asset or liability balances. For additional information and required disclosures related to ASC 842, see Note
25, “Leases.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
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. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments -
Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. 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
57 December 15, 2021. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’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 Company’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 Company’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. On October 16, 2019, the FASB
voted to defer the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company’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
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 Company’s financial
statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 018-18, 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
58 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
Company’s financial statements.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which addressed issues lessors
sometimes encounter. Specifically addressed in this Update were issues related to (1) determining the fair value of the underlying
asset by the lessor that are not manufacturers or dealers (generally financial institutions and captive finance companies), and 2)
lessors that are depository and lending institutions should classify principal and payments received under sales-type and direct
financing leases within investing activities in the cash flow statement. The ASU also exempts both lessees and lessors from having
to provide the interim disclosures required by ASC 250-10-50-3 in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases
standard. The amendments addressing the two lessor accounting issues are effective for public business entities for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is 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 Company’s financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,
Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which affects a variety of topics in the Codification
and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit
Losses amendments are effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2020, and for all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.On October 16, 2019, the
FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The final ASU is expected to be
issued in mid-November. Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging amendments are effective for public business entities 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. For entities
that have adopted the amendments in Update 2017- 12, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning
after the issuance of this Update. Topic 825, Financial Instruments amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 326, which allows entities to irrevocably
elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses
standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new
credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an
instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities
that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be
recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13.
Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet
adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that
have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. On October 16, 2019, the
FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have
a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant
to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment
Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the
issuance of SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442,
Investment Company Reporting Modernization. Other miscellaneous updates to agree to the electronic Code of Federal Regulations
also have been incorporated.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-09, Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944), which defers the effective date
of the amendments in Update 2018-12, Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for
Long-Duration Contracts. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be
smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, the amendments in Update 2018-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in Update 2018-12
is permitted. For all other entities, the amendments in Update 2018-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
59 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early application of the amendments in Update
2018-12 is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging
(Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective dates of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be
smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update also amends the mandatory effective date for the elimination of Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test under ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for
Goodwill Impairment (Goodwill), to align with those used for credit losses. Furthermore, the ASU provides a one-year deferral
of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging and leases for companies that are not public business entities. The
Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit
Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This
Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these financial
assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt restructurings based
on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the restructuring event;
and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant disclosures involving
amortized cost basis. The effective dates in this Update are the same as those applicable for ASU 2019-10. This Update is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), to simplify the accounting for income taxes, change
the accounting for certain tax transactions, and make minor improvements to the codification. This Update provides a policy
election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and
provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill
was recognized or a separate transaction. The Update also changes current guidance for making an intraperiod allocation, if there
is a loss in continuing operations and gains outside of continuing operations; determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized
after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting; accounting for tax law changes and
year-to-date losses in interim periods; and determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially
based on income. 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, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-1, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and
Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), to clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions
that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement
alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments
also clarify that, for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141(a) an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement
of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities
would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option, in accordance with the financial instruments
guidance in Topic 825. An entity also would evaluate the remaining characteristics in paragraph 815-10-15-141 to determine the
accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities,
the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Stock Split
On September 30, 2019, the Company completed a three-for-two stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock.
As a result of the Stock Split, on September 30, 2019, each share of the Company’s common stock issued at that time was changed
into one and one-half shares of the Company’s common stock with a stated par value of $5.55 per share. All share and per share

There were a total of 625,800 non-qualified employee stock options (Note 14) outstanding on December 31, 2019 that had a
weighted average strike price of $29.29. Options on December 31, 2018 had an average strike price of $30.08 with a total of
395,550 options outstanding. Grants outstanding at year-end 2017 totaled to 140,250 options with an average strike price of $29.06.
Grants were included, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 2019 period for grants
where the average market price of common shares exceeded the strike price of the options. These options were excluded, on a
weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 2018 and 2017 periods presented due to the average
market price of common shares being less than the strike price of the options.

At December 31, 2019 there were 18 individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months
and 14 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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected

There were no impairment charges included in gross realized losses for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
Investment securities with a carrying value of approximately $74,163,000 and $73,327,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $1,261,000 and $1,776,000, 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, 2019:

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, 2019 and 2018:

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
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.

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.
Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as
follows:

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
occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is
performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. During 2019, 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: 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; national and
economic trends and conditions; concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry, and/or geographic standpoint; value of
underlying collateral on collateral depended loans; effect of other external factors; and the quality of the loan review system. The
installment loans qualitative factor was decreased by 5 basis points due to the leveling off of indirect loan volume. The qualitative
factor for constructions loans was elevated in previous years due to losses in this category. This has not been the case for some
time, thus this factor was decreased by 10 basis points. Additionally, our overall lender experience and abilities are stable, which
justifies a decrease in our experience factor.
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 due to levels and trends of delinquencies in our portfolio. The change in the
provision for residential real estate loans vary based on our observations of industry trends during 2019 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 there has been improved trends in
delinquency rates.The provision for consumer automobiles decreased due to leveling off of indirect loan volume. The provision
for other consumer installment loans has increased based on national and economic trends.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 or 2018.
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, 2019 was $262,000, $19,000, and $617,000 respectively, with $1,619,000, $114,000, and
$403,000 accumulated amortization as of that date.
As of December 31, 2019, the estimated future amortization expense for the core deposit and trade name intangible was:

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 2020.
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 $490,000, $428,000, and $369,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017,
respectively.
81
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 $408,000, $370,000, and $330,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Benefits paid under the plan were approximately $57,000, $59,000, and $79,000 in 2019, 2018, and 2017, 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 105,000 stock options with a strike price of $29.47 to employees. The options granted
in 2017 all expire ten years from the grant date; however, of the 105,000 grants awarded, 69,375 of the options have a three year
vesting period while the remaining 35,625 options vest in five years. The Corporation issued a total of 262,050 stock options
during 2018 that expire ten years from the grant date. On January 5, 2018 a total of 37,500 options were issued with an additional
224,550 options issued on August 24, 2018. Of the 262,050 options issued during 2018, 94,050 have a vesting period of three
years and the remaining 168,000 options vest in five years. On March 15, 2019, the Corporation issued 240,000 stock options
with a strike price of $28.01. Of the options issued during 2019, 120,900 have a three year vesting period while the remaining
119,100 have a five year vesting period and all options expire ten years after issuance.

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, 2019, 2018, and 2017 there was $680,000, $486,000, and $29,000 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, 2019, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options was $1,935,000 which is expected
to be recognized over a period of 2.54 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 1,500,000
shares to be purchased by employees. The purchase price of the shares is 95% of fair value with an employee eligible to purchase
up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in fair value annually. There were 3,414 and 3,538 shares issued under
the plan for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018:

NOTE 17 - 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.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at December 31, 2019 and 2018:

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 18 - 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, 2019 and 2018, 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.
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 19 - 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, 2019, 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,
2019, the regulatory lending limit amounted to approximately $20,267,000.
Cash and Due from Banks
JSSB and Luzerne had no reserve requirements by the district Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2019 or 2018; 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 20 - 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,
2019 and 2018, 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.

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 21 - 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

NOTE 24 - 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-
92 interest expense included network costs. Interchange and debit card transaction fees at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are reported
on a net basis of $1,378,000 and $1,534,000; for the corresponding periods of 2018 and 2017 such amount was $1,312,000,
respectively. The below table compares gross interchange and debit card transaction fees net network costs for 2019, 2018 and
2017:

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, 2019 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, 2019.
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2019 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, 2019.
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, 2019, 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, 2019.

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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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, 2019 and 2018; 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, 2019, of the Company; and our report dated March 10, 2020,
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.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
As of March 1, 2020, Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) had one class of securities registered under Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: common stock, $5.55 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The
following summarizes the provisions of the Common Stock under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Corporation and
under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the “PBCL”). The summary should
be read in conjunction to the complete text of the articles of incorporation and bylaws and the PBCL.
Exhibit 4(i)
Authorized Shares of Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock consists of 22,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
As of May 1, 2020, there were 7,040,966 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. No shares of preferred stock were
issued and outstanding as of May 1, 2020.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for every share having voting power on all matters submitted for action
by the shareholders. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The Corporation’s
articles of incorporation provide that a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Corporation requires the affirmative
vote of 66-2/3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, in addition to any vote required by law. This provision does not
apply to any merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction if (i) members of the Corporation’s board of directors
will constitute at least a majority of the of the board of directors or 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.
Dividends and Distributions
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably if, as and when dividends are declared from time to
time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, after payment of dividends required to be paid on
outstanding preferred stock, if any.
Ranking
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets
available for distribution to the shareholders after payment of liabilities and accumulated and unpaid dividends and liquidation
preferences on outstanding preferred stock, if any.
No Conversion Rights; No Preemptive Rights; No Redemption
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment by
the Corporation. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences
and privileges of holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares
of any series of preferred stock, which our board of directors may designate and issue in the future without further shareholder
approval.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol, “PWOD.”
Fully Paid and Nonassessable
Outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.
103
Preferred Stock
The Corporation’s articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to fix by resolution the voting rights,
designations and preferences, priorities, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options, conversion rights, dividend
features, retirement features, liquidation features, redemption features and other special or relative rights of the preferred stock
and any series thereof. The board of directors has full authority to issue authorized preferred stock from time to time in one or
more series, without further shareholder approval.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certain provisions of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws and the PBCL may have the have the effect of
delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Corporation:
Pennsylvania Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certain anti-takeover provisions of the PBCL apply to Pennsylvania registered corporations (e.g., publicly traded
companies) including those relating to (1) control share acquisitions, (2) disgorgement of profits by certain controlling persons,
(3) business combination transactions with interested shareholders, and (4) the rights of shareholders to demand fair value for
their stock following a control transaction. Pennsylvania law allows corporations to opt-out of these anti-takeover sections under
certain circumstances, but the Corporation has not opted out of any of these anti-takeover provisions. A general summary of these
applicable anti-takeover provisions is set forth below.
Control Share Acquisitions. Pennsylvania law regarding control share acquisitions relates to the act of acquiring for the
first time voting power over voting shares (other than (i) shares owned continuously by the same natural person since January 1,
1988, (ii) shares beneficially owned by any natural person or trust, estate, foundation or similar entity to the extent such shares
were acquired solely by gift, inheritance, bequest, device or other testamentary distribution, directly or indirectly, from a natural
person who beneficially owned the shares prior to January 1, 1988 or (iii) shares acquired pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend
or similar distribution with respect to shares that have been beneficially owned continuously since their issuance by the Corporation
by the shareholder that acquired them from the Corporation or that were acquired from such shareholder pursuant to (ii) above)
equal to: (a) at least 20% but less than 33 1/3%; (b) at least 33 1/3% but less than 50%; or (c) 50% or more of the voting power
of the corporation. Once a control share acquisition has occurred, then all shares in excess of the triggering threshold, plus shares
purchased at any time with the intention of acquiring such voting power or shares purchased within 180 days of the date the
triggering threshold was exceeded, are considered control shares. Control shares cannot vote either until their voting rights have
been restored by two separate votes of the shareholders, as described below, or until they have been transferred to a person who
is not an affiliate of the transferor and does not thereby also become the holder of control shares.
The holder of control shares may wait until the next annual or special meeting after the acquisition took place to submit
the question of the restoration of voting rights to the shareholders, or the acquiring person may accelerate the process by agreeing
to underwrite the cost of a special meeting of shareholders for that purpose. In either case, the acquiring person is required to
furnish for distribution to the shareholders an information statement containing a detailed disclosure concerning the acquiring
person, its intentions with respect to ownership of securities of the corporation and other matters. As an alternative, a person
submitting a bona fide written offer to make a control share acquisition may request prospective approval by the shareholders of
the exercise of the voting rights of the shares proposed to be acquired, provided that the control share acquisition is consummated
within 90 days after shareholder approval is obtained. Two shareholder votes are required to approve the restoration of voting
rights. First, the approval of a majority of all voting power must be obtained. Second, the approval of a majority of all disinterested
shareholders must be obtained.
For a period of 24 months after the later of (a) a control share acquisition by an acquiring person who does not properly
request consideration of voting rights, or (b) the denial of such a request or lapse of voting rights, the corporation may redeem all
the control shares at the average of the high and low public market sales price of the shares on the date notice of the call for
redemption is given by the corporation.
Disgorgement of Profits by Certain Controlling Persons. Pennsylvania law regarding disgorgement of profits by certain
controlling persons applies in the event that (a) any person or group directly or indirectly publicly discloses or causes to be disclosed
that the person or group may seek to acquire control of the corporation, or (b) a person or group acquires, offers to acquire or
directly or indirectly publicly discloses or causes to be disclosed an intent to acquire) 20% or more of the voting power of the
corporation and, in either case, sells shares within 18 months thereafter. Any profits from sales of equity securities of the corporation
received by the person or group during such 18-month period will belong to the corporation if the securities that were sold were
acquired during the 18-month period after or within 24 months prior to becoming a controlling person.
104
Business Combination Transactions with Interested Shareholders. Pennsylvania law regarding business combination
transactions with interested shareholders provides that a person who acquires the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of shares
entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors or an affiliate or associate of the corporation
who at any time within the prior five years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% of the voting shares of the
corporation is an “interested shareholder.” A corporation subject to this provision may not effect mergers or certain other business
combinations with the interested shareholder for a period of five years, unless:
•
•
•
the business combination or the acquisition of stock by means of which the interested shareholder became an interested
shareholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to such stock acquisition;
the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of all the outstanding common shares of the
corporation; or
the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote,
excluding votes of shares held by the interested shareholders or their affiliates, and at the time of such vote, the interested
shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 80% of the voting shares of the corporation. This exception applies only
if the value of the consideration to be paid by the interested shareholder in connection with the business combination
satisfies certain fair price requirements.
After the five-year restricted period, an interested shareholder of the corporation may engage in a business combination
with the corporation if (a) the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares other than those
beneficially owned by the interested shareholder and its affiliates, or (b) the merger is approved at a shareholders meeting and
certain fair price requirements are met.
Rights of Shareholders to Demand Full Value for their Stock Following Control Transaction. Under Pennsylvania law,
a control transaction is an acquisition by a person or group of the voting power over at least 20% of the voting shares of the
corporation. Subject to exceptions, if a Pennsylvania registered corporation is subject to a control transaction, the controlling
person or group must provide prompt notice of the transaction to the court and each shareholder of record holding voting shares.
Any holder of voting shares may make a written demand on the controlling person or group for payment in cash of the fair value
of each voting share at the date on which the control transaction occurs. The minimum value that a shareholder can receive is the
highest price paid per share by the controlling person or group within the 90-day period ending on and including the date of the
control transaction. If any shareholder believes the fair value of her shares is higher than the price offered by the controlling person
or group, the shareholder may file a petition with the court seeking appraisal of the shares.
Blank Check Preferred Stock
The articles of incorporation provide for the issuance of preferred stock having terms established by the Corporation’s
board of directors without shareholder approval.
Staggered Board of Directors
The articles of incorporation provide for the classification of the board of directors into three classes with each class
serving a staggered three-year term. As a result of this classification, only one third of the entire board of directors stands for
election in any one year and a minimum of two annual meetings would be required to elect a majority of the board of directors.
Calling of Special Meetings of Shareholders
Pursuant to the bylaws, special meetings of shareholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Corporation’s board
of directors, by the Corporation’s board of directors, or by the President of the Corporation.
Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations
The bylaws provide that notice of any proposal by a shareholder which the shareholder desires to submit to a vote at an
annual meeting, including any director nominations, must made by notice in writing, delivered or mailed by first class United
States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and
fifty (150) days prior to any annual meeting of shareholders. The bylaws also specify requirements as to the contents of the
shareholder’s notice or nomination. If notice is not provided in accordance with these provisions, a shareholder’s proposal will
not appear on the meeting agenda.
105
Removal of Directors
Under Pennsylvania law and the Corporation’s articles of incorporation, directors can be removed from office by a vote
of shareholders only for cause.
Board of Directors May Oppose Any Take-Over Offer
The articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may, if it deems it advisable, oppose a tender, or other
offer for the Corporation’s securities, whether the contemplated payment is in cash or in the securities of a corporation, or some
other form of consideration. When considering whether to oppose an offer, the board of directors may consider any pertinent
issues, including any or all of the following:
• whether the offer price is acceptable based on the historical and present operating results or financial condition of the
Corporation;
• whether a more favorable price could be obtained for the Corporation’s securities in the future;
•
the impact which an acquisition of the Corporation would have on the employees, depositors and customers of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries in the community which they serve;
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;
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;
and
any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are raised by the offer.
•
•
•
If the board of directors determines that an offer should be rejected, it may take any lawful action to accomplish its
purpose including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
advising shareholders not to accept the offer;
litigation against the offeror;
filing complaints with governmental and regulatory authorities;
acquiring the authorized but unissued securities or treasury stock or granting options with respect thereto;
acquiring a Corporation to create an antitrust or other regulatory problem for the offeror; and
obtaining a more favorable offer from another individual or entity.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
Under the PBCL, an amendment to the articles of incorporation requires, except in limited cases where a greater vote
may be required, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter and the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders within each class or series of shares if such class or series is
entitled to vote on the matter as a class. The PBCL also provides that our shareholders are not entitled by statute to propose
amendments to the articles of incorporation.
The articles of incorporation provide that, in addition to any affirmative vote required by law, the approval of any
amendment to Article 13 (business combinations) of the articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of holders of at
least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of voting stock.
Amendments to Bylaws
The bylaws provide that our bylaws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the board of directors at any regular or special meeting of the board of directors. The PBCL provides that the ability of our
board of directors to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws is subject to the power of shareholders to change such action. The PBCL
also provides that the board of directors does not have the authority to adopt or change a bylaw on specified subjects, including,
but not limited to, authorized capital, the personal liability of directors, various matters relating to our board of directors, and
matters relating to the voting rights of shareholders.
