The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0compared to the same period in 2020\u00a0resulted from increases in net interest income and noninterest income and a\u00a0decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">William C. Marsh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank, noted, \u201cNow an\u00a0entire year into the pandemic, the Bank has proven its strength and resiliency as demonstrated through sound earnings, continued strong credit quality and tremendous balance sheet growth. We are pleased to continue lending under\u00a0the Small Business Administration&#8217;s Paycheck Protection Program through which we have provided an additional $22.8\u00a0million of\u00a0loans to 274 local small businesses during the first quarter of 2021. We remain focused on meeting our customers&#8217; needs, ensuring\u00a0the well-being of our employees and\u00a0supporting our communities by operating in a safe and socially responsible manner and we are cautiously optimistic that the burdens of the pandemic will ease in the year ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>OPERATING RESULTS OVERVIEW<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Net income available to common stockholders increased $984,000, or 82.7%,\u00a0to $2.2\u00a0million, or $0.79\u00a0per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.44\u00a0per diluted common share\u00a0for\u00a0same period in 2020. The increase resulted from increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $962,000 and $27,000, respectively, and a\u00a0$517,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of\u00a0$324,000 and $198,000, respectively.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Net interest income increased $962,000, or 14.4%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0from $6.7 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in net interest income resulted from an increase in interest income of $195,000, or 2.2%, and a\u00a0decrease in interest expense of $767,000, or 34.7%. The increase in interest income was driven by an $80.2 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding as a result of record loan production during 2020 and the addition of\u00a0Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans in the second and third quarters of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recognized $713,000 of interest income related to the PPP loans. Partially offsetting this increase in interest income from the additional loan volume, the Corporation experienced a 26 basis point decrease in the yield on loans to 4.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 4.47% for the same period in 2020. Without the PPP loans, the Corporation would have experienced a 49\u00a0basis point decrease in\u00a0the yield on loans to 3.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Corporation&#8217;s cost of funds decreased 44 basis points to 0.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 1.08% for the same period in 2020, resulting in an $832,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in the cost of funds was partially offset by a $172,000 increase in interest expense caused by a $61.0 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $693.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $632.9 million for the same period in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The provision for loan losses decreased $517,000, or 65.3%, to $275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0from $792,000 for the same period in 2020.\u00a0The\u00a0provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2020 was driven by a $39.4 million\u00a0increase\u00a0in loan portfolio balances and the addition of a specific pandemic qualitative factor to the allowance for loan losses calculation. Criticized and classified loans decreased $1.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2021\u00a0to $42.8\u00a0million, or 4.0%, of total assets\u00a0from $44.4\u00a0million, or 4.3%, of total assets at December 31, 2020.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Noninterest income increased $27,000, or 2.6%, to $1.1\u00a0million for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0from $1.0\u00a0million for the same period in 2020\u00a0due to increases in gains on the sale of loans and other income of $102,000 and $101,000, respectively, partially offset by\u00a0decreases in fees and service charges and gains on the sale of securities of $125,000 and $52,000, respectively. The increase in other income was primarily related to an increase in interchange fee income as a result of easing pandemic restrictions leading to an increase in consumer spending.\u00a0The decrease in fees and service charges was primarily due to a decline in overdraft charges.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Noninterest expense increased $324,000, or 5.9%, to $5.8\u00a0million for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0from $5.5\u00a0million for the same period in 2020.\u00a0The increase was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits expense, premises and equipment expense, FDIC insurance expense, professional fees and other noninterest expense of\u00a0$111,000, $68,000, $54,000, $49,000 and $45,000, respectively.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The provision for income taxes increased $198,000, or 81.5%, to\u00a0$441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021\u00a0from $243,000 for the same period in 2020\u00a0as a result of the increase in net income before provision for income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET &amp; ASSET QUALITY OVERVIEW<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Total assets increased $35.4\u00a0million, or 3.4%,\u00a0to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2021\u00a0from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase\u00a0in assets\u00a0was driven primarily by an increase in securities and cash and equivalents of $28.8 million and $20.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a $14.8 million decrease in net loans receivable. Liabilities increased $36.0 million, or 3.8%, to $976.8 million at March 31, 2021\u00a0from\u00a0$940.8 million at December 31, 2020\u00a0due to an increase\u00a0in customer deposits of $32.6\u00a0million.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Nonperforming assets\u00a0decreased $789,000 to $3.7\u00a0million, or 0.34% of total assets at March 31, 2021, compared to $4.4\u00a0million, or 0.43% of total assets at December 31, 2020. Classified and criticized assets decreased $1.6 million to $42.8 million or 4.0% of total assets\u00a0at March 31, 2021, compared to\u00a0$44.4 million or 4.3% of total assets at December 31, 2020. Classified and criticized assets remain elevated largely due to the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality loan portfolio. At March 31, 2021 the Corporation&#8217;s hotel portfolio totaled $34.6 million, of which $30.1 million was rated classified or criticized.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global and local economies and some customers&#8217; ability to continue making timely loan payments. The Bank addressed the challenges of those facing hardship due to the pandemic by granting payment deferrals on 402 loans, which totaled $108.1 million. At March 31, 2021, 29 loans totaling $33.9 million remained on deferral, including loans associated with borrowers within the hospitality industry totaling $30.1 million. The Bank continues to carefully monitor these loans and the entire loan portfolio and is well-positioned to weather a potential weakening of asset quality that may occur related to current circumstances.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Stockholders\u2019 equity decreased $610,000 to $90.9\u00a0million at March 31, 2021\u00a0from $91.5 million at December 31, 2020\u00a0primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by a\u00a0$1.4 million\u00a0increase in\u00a0retained earnings as a result of $2.2\u00a0million of net income available to common stockholders, partially offset by $816,000 of common dividends paid. The Corporation remains well capitalized and is well\u00a0positioned for continued growth with total stockholders\u2019 equity at 8.5% of total assets. Book value per common share was $31.85\u00a0at March 31, 2021, compared to $32.07\u00a0at December 31, 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <em>This news release may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
