Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., Norwood Settlement Services, LLC, and WTRO Properties, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any other future interim period.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2013.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share.

(in thousands)

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,642		3,626		3,641		3,624
Dilutive effect of stock options		10		12		10		13
Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,652		3,638		3,651		3,637

Stock options which had no intrinsic value, because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore would not be included in the diluted EPS calculation were 19,600 as of September 30, 2014 based upon the closing price of Norwood common stock of $28.60 per share on September 30, 2014. There were no anti-dilutive shares at September 30, 2013 based on Norwood’s closing price of $28.95.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s shareholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2006 Stock Option Plan at the Annual Meeting held on April 25, 2006 and the Norwood Financial Corp 2014 Equity Incentive Plan at the Annual Meeting held on April 22, 2014. No awards were granted during the nine month period ending September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, there was $37,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted in 2013 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, which will be fully amortized by December 31, 2014.

A summary of stock options from all plans, adjusted for stock dividends declared, is shown below.

			Weighted
			Average Exercise			Weighted Average			Aggregate
			Price			Remaining			Intrinsic Value
	Options		Per Share			Contractual Term			(000)

Outstanding at January 1, 2014		219,540		$	26.64		6.1	Yrs.		$	147
Granted		-			-		-				-

Forfeited		-			-		-				-
Outstanding at September 30, 2014		211,262			26.61		5.3				422

Exercisable at September 30, 2014		183,762		$	26.54		4.8	Yrs.		$	379

Intrinsic value represents the amount by which the market price of the stock on the measurement date exceeded the exercise price of the option. The stock price was $28.60 as of September 30, 2014 and $26.90 as of December 31, 2013.

5. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees

The Bank 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 letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)	September 30,
	2014			2013

Unfunded availability under loan commitments		$	26,495		$	23,223
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit			45,830			46,597
Standby letters of credit			5,688			6,991
		$	78,013		$	76,811

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.

The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2014 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

At September 30, 2014, the Company has 32 debt securities in an unrealized loss position in the less than twelve months category and 60 debt securities in the twelve months or more category. In Management’s opinion the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. No other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded in 2014. Management believes that all unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities as the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of September 30, 2014 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were no material increases or decreases in the expected cash flows of these loans between May 31, 2011 (the “acquisition date”) and September 30, 2014. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality as of May 31, 2011 have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation. There has been no allowance for loan losses on these loans reversed. For loans that were acquired without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation.

The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probably that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

A loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan when the Company grants a concession to the borrower because of the borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider. Such concessions include the reduction of interest rates, forgiveness of principal or interest, or other modifications of interest rates that are less than the current market rate for new obligations with similar risk.

The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of September 30, 2014, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $4.0 million and resulted in specific reserves of $61,000. As of December 31, 2013, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $9.2 million and resulted in specific reserves of $53,000. For the period ended September 30, 2014, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. During 2014, the Company recognized write-downs in the amount of $227,000 on two loans identified as troubled debt restructurings with a carrying value of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2014. During 2013, one loan with a balance of $1.3 million was classified as a troubled debt restructuring. The restructuring resulted in a decrease in the borrower’s debt but the remaining balance was classified as troubled debt since it would be unlikely that the borrower could obtain comparable financing elsewhere.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as non performance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,000,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The Company’s primary business activity as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in the hospitality lodging industry, automobile dealers, property owners associations and resorts with loans outstanding of $36.1 million, or 40.6% of capital, to the hospitality lodging industry, $13.6 million, or 15.3% of capital to automobile dealers, $13.3 million, or 15.0% of capital, to property owners associations and $9.0 million, or 10.1% of capital, to the resort industry. During 2014, the Company recorded a write down of $422,000 on a motel property which has been sold.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $72,000 and $0, respectively, in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $32,000 and $7,000, respectively, in the same period in 2013. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

There were no sales of residential mortgage loans during the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available, quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and valuation techniques applied:

Securities:

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

The Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.

(2)	Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Securities:

Loans receivable (carried at cost):

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

As of September 30, 2014, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $6,852,000 which included two loans for $1,986,000 for which a valuation allowance of $61,000 had been provided based on the estimated value of the collateral or the present value of estimated cash flows, and fourteen loans for $4,927,000 which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $1,022,000 over the life of the loans.

As of December 31, 2013, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $12,556,000 which included one loan for $1,723,000 for which a valuation allowance of $53,000 had been provided based on the estimated value of the collateral or the present value of estimated cash flows, and twenty loans for $10,886,000 which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $3,714,000 over the life of the loans.

Mortgage servicing rights (generally carried at cost)

The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Restricted investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock (carried at cost):

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This regulatory stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Bank owned life insurance (carried at cost):

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

Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Other borrowings (carried at cost):

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments were as follows at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. (In thousands)

9. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this Update affect the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies under U.S. GAAP. The amendments do all of the following: (1) change the approach to the investment company assessment in Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company; (2) require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting; and (3) require the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The amendments in this Update are effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. This Update did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a

tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This Update did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The amendments in this Update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this Update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The amendments in this Update change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. For repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures. The accounting changes in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity is required to present changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Earlier application is prohibited. The disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments when the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40). The amendments in this Update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure, (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements -Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendments in this Update provide guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15,

2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other

qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments, the determination of goodwill impairment and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Loans” in the “Changes in Financial Condition” section.

The Company uses the modified prospective transition method to account for stock based compensation. Under this method companies are required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of options over the vesting period.

Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security.

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, the Company considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Company believes that the unrealized loss on all other securities at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represent temporary impairment of the securities, related to changes in interest rates.

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

Management considered that the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios have increased from the prior year, liquidity appears adequate, and the new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to FHLB stock as of September 30, 2014.

In connection with the acquisition of North Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“North Penn”), the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $9.7 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institution acquired in a purchase transaction, at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss.

Changes in Financial Condition

General

Total assets as of September 30, 2014 were $718.2 million compared to $711.2 million as of December 31, 2013, an increase of $7.0 million due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from an increase in cash from new deposits which exceeded the cash needed to fund new loans and investments.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale as of September 30, 2014 was $158.7 million compared to $158.1 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company purchased $47.6 million of securities principally using the proceeds from $51.3 million of sales, calls, maturities and principal reductions of securities.

The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio (Available-for Sale and Held-to Maturity) consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		% of portfolio			Amount		% of portfolio

U.S. Treasury securities	$	963		0.6	%	$	-		-	%
U.S. Government agencies		27,355		17.3			33,413		21.1
States and political subdivisions		54,299		34.2			59,204		37.4
Corporate obligations		6,485		4.1			3,711		2.3
Mortgage-backed securities-
government sponsored entities		69,239		43.6			61,650		39.0
Equity securities-financial services		360		0.2			328		0.2
Total	$	158,701		100.0	%	$	158,306		100.0	%

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. Management believes that the unrealized losses on all holdings represent temporary impairment of the securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans

Loans receivable totaled $500.8 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $503.1 million as of December 31, 2013. The $2.3 million decrease recorded in the nine month period ending September 30, 2014 was attributed to a $10.2 million decrease in commercial real estate loans and a $900,000 decrease in residential mortgage loans. Commercial loans increased $6.2 million during the period while all other loans increased $2.6 million, net.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5,651,000 as of September 30, 2014 and represented 1.13% of total loans, compared to $5,708,000, or 1.13% of total loans, at December 31, 2013, and $5,558,000, or 1.14% of total loans, as of September 30, 2013. The Company had net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $1,317,000 compared to $1,943,000 in the corresponding period in 2013. The Company’s loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries, economic and industry conditions, trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, large dollar exposures and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at September 30, 2014 based on the Company’s criteria. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

As of September 30, 2014, non-performing loans totaled $5.9 million, or 1.18% of total loans compared to $9.5 million, or 1.90% of total loans at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, non-performing assets totaled $10.9 million, or 1.52%, of total assets compared to $10.6 million, or 1.48%, of total assets at December 31, 2013. The decrease in non-performing loans principally reflects the transfer of two properties with a carrying value of $4.2 million on September 30, 2014 to foreclosed real estate.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated:

Deposits

During the period, total deposits increased $7.2 million due primarily to an $11.9 million increase in NOW and money market accounts and a $9.7 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits. The $17.1 million decrease in time deposits includes an $11.7 million decrease in certificates of deposit over $100,000 as municipalities utilized funds to meet cash flow needs. All other deposit products increased $2.7 million, net.

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2014 totaled $44.7 million compared to $49.9 million as of December 31, 2013. Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and overnight borrowings from the FHLB, decreased $5.2 million principally due to the seasonality of municipal cash management accounts.

Other borrowings consisted of the following:

(dollars in thousands)

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Notes with the FHLB:
Convertible note due July 2015 at 4.34%	$	7,159	$	7,301
Convertible note due January 2017 at 4.71%		10,000		10,000

Amortizing fixed rate borrowing due December 2018 at 1.425%		3,418		4,000
	$	22,592	$	23,761

The convertible notes contain an option which allows the FHLB, at quarterly intervals to change the note to an adjustable-rate advance at three month LIBOR plus 17 to 22 basis points. If the notes are converted, the option allows the Bank to put the funds back to the FHLB at no charge. The borrowing due July 2015 includes a $159,000 fair value adjustment recorded at the time of the North Penn acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Bank is 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 letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

A summary of the contractual amount of the Company’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)
	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

Unfunded availability under loan commitments	$	26,495	$	22,845
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		45,830		42,575
Standby letters of credit		5,688		5,701

	$	78,013	$	71,121

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

As of September 30, 2014, stockholders’ equity totaled $97.4 million, compared to $91.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The net change in stockholders’ equity included $6.1 million of net income that was partially offset by $3.3 million of dividends declared, a $179,000 reduction due to an increase in Treasury Stock, and a $352,000 increase due to the exercise and vesting of stock options. In addition, total equity increased $2.5 million due to an increase in the fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of tax. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates and spreads, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.

A comparison of the Company’s consolidated regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Tier 1 Capital
(To average assets)		12.48	%		12.09	%
Tier 1 Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)		16.99	%		16.53	%
Total Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)		18.09	%		17.66	%

The minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC on the Bank for leverage, Tier 1 and Total Capital are 4%, 4% and 8%, respectively. The Company has similar capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Bank is also subject to more stringent Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (PDB&S) guidelines. The Bank’s capital ratios do not differ significantly from the Company’s ratios. Although not adopted in regulation form, the PDB&S utilizes capital standards requiring a minimum of 6.5% leverage capital and 10% total capital. The Company and the Bank were in compliance with FRB, FDIC and PDB&S capital requirements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.3 million in the form of cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $158.7 million which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $172.0 million of liquidity and represents 23.9% of total assets compared to $166.0 million and 23.3% of total assets as of December 31, 2013. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity is adequate.

Capital Resources

The Company has a line of credit commitment available from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh for borrowings of up to $20,000,000 which expires in December 2016. Borrowings under this line were $13.5 million and $13.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company has a line of credit commitment from Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for $7,000,000 which expires June 30, 2015. There were no borrowings under this line as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from PNC Bank for $16,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from Zions Bank for $17,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was approximately $276,434,000 as of September 30, 2014, of which $35,973,000 and $37,200,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on pages 39 and 43. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2013

General

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, net income totaled $2,118,000 compared to $2,136,000 earned in the similar period in 2013. The decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to a $116,000 decrease in net interest income which was partially offset by a $100,000 increase in gains on the sales of loans and securities. Earnings per share for the current period were $.58 for basic and fully diluted compared to $.59 per basic and fully diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were 1.18% and 8.62%, respectively, compared to 1.22% and 9.33%, respectively, for the similar period in 2013.

The following table sets forth changes in net income:

Net income three months ended September 30, 2014	$	2,118

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $6,467,000 which was $111,000 lower than the comparable period in 2013. The decrease in net interest income largely reflects reduced earnings on loans due to repricing in the current low interest rate environment. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.78% and 3.92%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 3.89% and 4.05%, respectively, for the similar period in 2013.

Interest income (fte) totaled $7,254,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.40% compared to $7,454,000 and 4.59% for the 2013 period. Average loans increased $17.4 million over the comparable period of last year but a 33 basis point reduction in the yield earned resulted in a $188,000 reduction in fte loan income. Average earning assets totaled $660.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $10.5 million over the average for the similar period in 2013. This increase in average earning assets helped offset the decline in loan yields.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $787,000 at an average cost of 0.62% compared to $876,000 and 0.70% for the similar period in 2013. As a result of the continued low interest rate environment, the Company further reduced rates paid on its money market accounts. The cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, declined to 1.05% from 1.17% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current lower rates resulting in the decrease.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $420,000 compared to $400,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $380,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $590,000 for the similar period in 2013.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1,262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,216,000 for the similar period in 2013. Net gains from the sale of loans and securities increased $100,000 compared to the same period of 2013 due to increased activity. All other items of other income decreased $54,000, net, compared to the third quarter of last year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $4,124,000 which was $49,000 lower than the same period of 2013. Costs associated with foreclosed real estate properties increased $54,000 while all other operating expenses decreased $103,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $754,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the period ending September 30, 2014 compared to $777,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the similar period in 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2013

General

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income totaled $6,116,000 compared to $6,284,000 earned in the similar period in 2013. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to a $710,000 decrease in earnings and proceeds on bank-owned life insurance as well as a $239,000 increase in foreclosed real estate costs and a $202,000 increase in income tax expense. A reduced loan loss provision and higher gains from the sale of loans and securities partially offset the negative variances. Earnings per share for the current period were $1.68 for basic and fully diluted compared to $1.73 for basic and diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were 1.15% and 8.53%, respectively, compared to 1.22% and 9.07%, respectively, for the similar period in 2013.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $19,418,000 which was $22,000 higher than the comparable period in 2013. The increase in net interest income largely reflects the improved mix and growth of the balance sheet which offset the reduced earnings on loans due to repricing in the current low interest rate environment. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.77% and 3.91%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 3.88% and 4.04%, respectively, for the similar period in 2013.

Interest income (fte) totaled $21,833,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.40% compared to $22,139,000 and 4.61% for the 2013 period. Average loans increased $19.6 million over the comparable period of last year but a 36 basis point reduction in the yield earned resulted in a $583,000 reduction in fte loan income. Average securities increased $8.7 million and the yield on securities improved 8 basis points, resulting in a $291,000 increase in earnings, to partially offset the reduced earnings on loans. Average earning assets totaled $661.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $20.9 million over the

average for the similar period in 2013. This increase in average earning assets helped offset the decline in loan yields.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $2,415,000 at an average cost of 0.63% compared to $2,743,000 and 0.73% for the similar period in 2013. As a result of the continued low interest rate environment, the Company further reduced rates paid on its money market accounts. The cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, declined to 1.05% from 1.17% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current lower rates resulting in the decrease.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,260,000 compared to $2,000,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $1,317,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,943,000 for the similar period in 2013.

Other Income

Other income totaled $3,783,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $4,305,000 for the similar period in 2013. The decrease was due primarily to $770,000 of non-recurring income from life insurance proceeds received in 2013 compared to $5,000 in the 2014 period. Net gains from the sale of loans and securities increased $373,000 compared to the same period of 2013 to partially offset the lower level of insurance income. All other items of other income decreased $185,000, net, compared to the same period of last year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $12,729,000 or $122,000 higher than the same period of 2013. Costs associated with foreclosed real estate properties increased $239,000 while all other operating expenses decreased $117,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $2,132,000 for an effective tax rate of 25.9% for the period ending September 30, 2014 compared to $1,930,000 for an effective tax rate of 23.5% for the similar period in 2013. The reduced tax rate in 2013 reflects a higher level of insurance proceeds which are exempt from income tax.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.

Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of September 30, 2014, the level of net interest income at risk in a 200 basis point increase in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits, while a 200 basis point decrease in rates would result in a net interest fluctuation that exceeds the policy limit. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 8% of net interest income for a ± 200 basis point shift in interest rates. Based on the current level of interest rates, the risk in the declining 200 basis point scenario is considered acceptable.

Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a positive 90-day interest sensitivity gap of $41.5 million or 5.8% of total assets, compared to the $51.9 million or 7.3% of total assets as of December 31, 2013. Rate sensitive assets repricing within 90 days decreased $14.2 million due primarily to a $10.3 million decrease in loans repricing and a $3.6 million decrease in securities cashflow repricing within the period. Rate sensitive liabilities decreased $3.8 million since year end due primarily to a $5.5 million reduction in time deposits maturing within three months. A positive gap means that rate-sensitive assets are greater than rate-sensitive liabilities at the time interval. This would indicate that in a rising rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets could increase faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90-day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.
