STATEMENT OF INCOME REVIEW
Third Quarter Results
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 74.1%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Interest and dividend income increased $3.3 million, or 72.3%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income on loans increased $3.3 million due to an increase in average loans outstanding of $274.6 million primarily due to the merger. Despite a decrease of $7.9 million in the average balance, interest income on taxable securities increased $50,000 due to an increase of 53 basis points in yield from new purchases or from higher yields on the remaining securities in the portfolio. Other interest and dividend income increased $13,000 primarily due to an increase in FHLB stock dividends. As a result of an increase in borrowings compared to the prior period, the Bank was required to hold additional FHLB stock. Interest income on securities exempt from federal tax decreased $40,000 due to deploying proceeds from security calls and maturities into loans and for merger-related funding purposes in the prior period. There was a decrease of $3.2 million in the average balance on securities exempt from federal tax and a decrease of 25 basis points in yield as a result of purchasing securities with lower prevailing yields.
Interest expense increased $232,000, or 54.3%, to $659,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $427,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense on deposits increased $189,000 due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $180.0 million primarily due to the merger. Despite the increase in average balances, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 1 basis point, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates. Interest expense on other borrowed funds and short-term borrowings increased $38,000 and $5,000, respectively, primarily due to an increase in average borrowings of $24.8 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and was all applied to the originated loan portfolio. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $98,000 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses and determined the current quarter provision was necessary due to quarterly charge-offs, commercial and indirect auto loan growth and an increase in substandard loans.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $855,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a $769,000 increase in insurance commission from the acquisition of Exchange Underwriters as part of the merger. Net gains on the sales of loans increased $131,000 primarily due an increase in the number of loans originated and subsequently sold to the FHLB as part of the Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF®”) program. The MPF® program enables member financial institutions to offer competitive interest rates for fixed-rate mortgage loans without assuming any of the interest rate risk associated with a long-term asset. Income from bank owned life insurance increased$61,000 due to the acquisition of policies in the merger. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $57,000 primarily due to check card fees from deposit accounts acquired in the merger. Other miscellaneous income increased $25,000 primarily due to a decline in amortization on mortgage servicing rights related to loans sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® program.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 45.3%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million primarily due to employees retained as a result of the merger as well as normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment increased $145,000 and $136,000, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of branches in the merger and increased costs associated with the prior year upgrade of the data processing system to accommodate additional account activity. Advertising increased $145,000 related to a cooperative marketing agreement at Exchange Underwriters and advertising initiatives to promote the merger. Amortization of core deposit intangible increased $134,000 due to amortization of the core deposit intangible from the merger. Legal and professional fees increased $86,000 due to legal fees that were reclassified to other real estate owned expense in the prior period and a cybersecurity audit conducted in the current period. PA shares tax, which is calculated based on the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, increased $78,000 due to an increase in stockholders’ equity from of the merger. Contracted services increased $67,000 primarily due to increases in data processing expenses and fees associated with becoming a publicly traded company. Bankcard processing expense increased $27,000 due to the increase in the number of accounts from the merger. Other noninterest expense increased $304,000 primarily due to an increase in various miscellaneous expenses due to the merger, such as telephone, supplies, postage, director fees, and business travel. Merger expenses decreased $368,000 due to merger-related expenses incurred in the prior period only. Other real estate owned expense decreased $190,000 due to a writedown and related legal expenses associated with a commercial property in the prior period.
Income Tax Expense. Income taxes increased $636,000 to $904,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $268,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The increase in income taxes and effective tax rate was due to an increase of $6.1 million in net income before income tax expense and a decrease in tax-exempt income.

Interest income on loans increased$10.2 million due to an increase in average outstanding of $291.3 million primarily due to the merger.

Amortization of core deposit intangible increased $401,000 due to amortization of the core deposit intangible from the merger.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION REVIEW
Assets. Total assets decreased $22.2 million, or 2.6%, to $824.1 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $846.3 million at December 31, 2014.
Investment securities classified as available-for-sale decreased $3.9 million, or 3.7%, to $101.5 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $105.4 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of calls and maturities of U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions that were utilized to pay down borrowings and were partially reinvested in U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions.
Loans, net, decreased $19.2 million, or 2.8%, to $661.2 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $680.5 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to $38.2 million of residential loan sales in the second quarter partially offset by increases of $21.1 million in consumer loans (mainly indirect auto loans) and $19.2 million in commercial real estate loans. The loan sales were primarily comprised of 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans that were acquired in the merger and were secured by properties located outside the Bank’s normal lending area within the five counties it conducts business. The Company utilized the proceeds from the loan sales to payoff $14.0 million of borrowings in the third quarter and to fund commercial loan originations, which have shorter interest rate repricing durations than mortgage loans.
Other assets decreased $1.4 million, or 15.4%, primarily due to the receipt of a $1.2 million federal income tax refund.
Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $26.5 million, or 3.5%, to $737.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $764.4 million at December 31, 2014.
Total deposits decreased $7.5 million, or 1.1%, to $689.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $697.5 million at December 31, 2014. There were decreases of $17.8 million in money market accounts, $3.7 million in NOW accounts and $3.2 million in time deposits, partially offset by increases of $12.7 million in brokered deposits and $4.4 million in savings accounts. The decrease in deposit balances is partly attributable to a decline in school district deposits, which is a seasonal fluctuation, as well as a decline in oil and gas industry related deposits. Brokered deposits increased primarily due to the Bank participating in a reciprocal deposit network, which allows participating institutions to both send and receive identical amounts simultaneously and provides increased FDIC insurance coverage on customer deposit amounts greater than $250,000. The reciprocal deposit network does not share the same characteristics of traditional brokered deposits because they are based on actual customer relationships. Due to the low interest rate environment, the Bank has been selective on offering promotional interest rates and has concentrated its efforts on increasing noninterest-bearing accounts by building strong customer relationships.
Short-term borrowings decreased $18.8 million, or 40.2%, to $27.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $46.7 million at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015, short-term borrowings were comprised entirely of $27.9 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2014. The increase is related to business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase. In addition, in the first quarter, a portion of FHLB short-term borrowings were replaced with $15.0 million in long-term borrowings with laddered maturities designed to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of rising interest rates. Funds generated from loan sales and security maturities and calls were utilized to payoff FHLB short-term borrowings and $15.0 million of long-term FHLB borrowings. As a result of current year activity, the weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings decreased from 3.78% to 1.53%.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $4.3 million, or 5.3%, to $86.3 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $81.9 million at December 31, 2014. During the period, net income was $6.7 million and the Company paid $2.6 million in dividends to stockholders.

| AVERAGE BALANCES AND YIELDS | ||||||
| The following tables present information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal tax rate of 34%. As such, amounts will not agree to income as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, but include nonaccrual loans. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and are expressed in annualized rates. | ||||||
