Citizens First Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Citizens First Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.  Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

Note 2 -  Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications do not affect net income or total stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 3 - Available-For-Sale Securities

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for sale securities portfolio at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss:

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.”

In determining OTTI under the ASC Topic 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

As of March 31, 2014, our securities portfolio consisted of $54.7 million fair value of securities, $17.7 million, or 22 securities, of which were in an unrealized loss position.

All rated securities are investment grade.  For those that are not rated, the financial condition has been evaluated and no adverse conditions were identified related to repayment.  Declines in fair value are a function of rate differences in the market and market illiquidity.  The Company does not intend or is not expected to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The Company’s unrealized losses 12 months or more relate primarily to its investment in a single trust preferred security.  The security is a single-issuer trust preferred that is not rated.  While market conditions have allowed some increase in the fair market value of the trust preferred security at March 31, 2014, a full recovery has not yet occurred.  No impairment charge is being taken as no loss of principal or interest is anticipated.  All principal and interest payments are being received as scheduled.  On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer, a bank holding company with operations in the state of Kentucky.  Based on the issuer’s continued profitability and well-capitalized position, we do not deem that there is credit loss.  The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to illiquidity affecting these markets and not the expected cash flows of the individual securities.  We have evaluated the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and expect to fully recover our cost basis.  This security continues to pay interest as agreed and future payments are expected to be made as agreed.  This security is not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Company reported total troubled debt restructurings of $4.6 million and $5.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company has no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.  Troubled debt restructurings are included in impaired loans. Of the 15 troubled debt restructurings reported at quarter end, 12 loans totaling $3.7 million were accruing and 3 loans totaling $815,000 were on nonaccrual status.

During the quarter ending March 31, 2014, one additional loan totaling $15,000 was modified as a troubled debt restructuring. The modification of the terms of this loan included reducing the interest rate, granting an interest only payment period, and extending the amortization term.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings outstanding as of March 31, 2014:

Specific allocations of $362,000 and $1.1 million were reported for troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  No payment defaults were reported for troubled debt restructurings during the quarter ending March 31, 2014 or March 31, 2013. Specific allocations of $2.4 million were reported for the troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013. No charge offs were taken on troubled debt restructurings during the first quarter of 2014. One previously reported troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $309,000 was charged off during the quarter ending March 31, 2013.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These loans modified during the three months ending March 31, 2014 have a total recorded investment of $3.7 million as of March 31, 2014. These loans modified during the three months ending March 31, 2013 have a total recorded investment of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2013. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis includes commercial and commercial real estate loans with an outstanding balance greater than $25 thousand and is reviewed on a monthly basis. For residential real estate and consumer loans the analysis primarily involves monitoring the past due status of these loans and at such time that these loans are past due, the Company evaluates the loans to determine if a change in risk category is warranted. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention.  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the

18

liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.  All loans in all loan categories are assigned risk ratings.  Based on the most recent analyses performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

	Pass		Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Total

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, reflect a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions of fair value, and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair value of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (level 2 inputs).  The Company does not have any Level 1 securities.  Level 2 securities include certain U.S. agency bonds, collateralized mortgage and debt obligations, and certain municipal securities. The Company also has one Level 3 security. The fair value is this security is obtained directly from the broker which originally handled the security issue.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

20

Other Real Estate Owned: Commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell.  Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by Bank management.  The appraisal values for collateral-dependent impaired loans are discounted to allow for selling expenses and fees, the limited use nature of various properties, the age of the most recent appraisal, and additional discretionary discounts for location, condition, etc. The Bank annually obtains an updated current appraisal value for each OREO property to certify that the fair value has not declined.  For each parcel of OREO that has declined in value, the Bank records the decline in value by a direct writedown of the asset.

Impaired loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $887,000 at March 31, 2014 with a valuation allowance of $455,000.  Impaired loans had a principal balance of $3.5 million at December 31, 2013, with a valuation allowance of $1.4 million.  An increase in the provision for loan losses of $64,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as a result of net changes in fair values on collateral dependent loans and other factors affecting the provision for loan losses.

Other real estate owned, which is measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying value of $631,000 at March 31, 2014 and $833,000 at December 31, 2013.  Total writedowns of other real estate owned year to date March 31, 2014 and 2013, were $17,000 and $5,000 respectively.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

(a)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b)FHLB Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(c)Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(d)Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using

25

a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e)FHLB Advances/ Subordinated Debentures: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(f)Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1 or Level 2 classification consistent with the asset/liability they are associated with.

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share have been computed the same as basic earnings per share, and assumes the conversion of outstanding stock options, convertible preferred stock and warrants, if dilutive.  The following table reconciles the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the quarters ending March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of Citizens First Corporation (the “Company”) is included to provide the shareholders with an expanded narrative of our results of operations, changes in financial condition, liquidity and capital adequacy.  This narrative should be reviewed in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

We may from time to time make written or oral statements, including statements contained in this report, which may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  The words “may”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “consider”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “should”, “estimate”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements may constitute forward-looking statements.  These statements should be considered subject to various risks and uncertainties.  Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management pursuant to “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.  Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially are current and future economic conditions generally and in our market areas, changes in the interest rate environment, overall loan demand, increased competition in the financial services industry which could negatively impact our ability to increase total earning assets, and retention of key personnel.  Actions by the Department of the Treasury and federal and state bank regulators in response to changing economic conditions, changes in interest rates, loan prepayments by and the financial health of our borrowers, and other factors described in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission could also impact current expectations.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we reported net income of $691,000 compared to net income of $115,000 in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $576,000.  Net income available to common shareholders was $559,000 or, $0.27 per diluted common share this quarter, compared to net loss available to common shareholders of $102,000 or, $0.05 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2013.  The provision expense was higher in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of an increase in non-performing assets in that period.

28

Our annualized return on average assets was 0.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 0.11% in March 31, 2013.  Our annualized return on average equity was 7.74% for the three months ending March 31, 2014, compared to 1.16% for the three months ending March 31, 2013.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our principal source of earnings, is the difference between the interest income generated by earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the total interest cost of the deposits and borrowings obtained to fund these assets.  Factors that influence the level of net interest income include the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, yields earned and rates paid, the level of non-performing loans and non-earning assets, and the amount of non-interest bearing deposits supporting earning assets.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 decreased $168,000, or 4.6%, compared to March 31, 2013. The decrease in net interest income was impacted by a reduction in interest expense of $79,000 combined with a decrease in interest income of $247,000. The decrease in interest income was created by a decrease in loan income for the quarter.

The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 3.81%, compared to 3.96% in 2013.  This decrease of 15 basis points is attributable primarily to a decline in the yield on loans from 5.50% in the first quarter of 2013 to 5.14% in the first quarter of 2014. Loan yields have declined as maturing loans were repriced at a lower rate, as well as increased competition for new loans that has resulted in lower rates.

The following tables set forth for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and average yields and costs.  Such 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.

Provision for Loan Losses

A $125,000 provision for loan losses was recorded for the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $1.1 million, from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2013.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased from 2.21% of total loans at March 31, 2013 to 1.60% at March 31, 2014, primarily due to charge-offs of specific allocations which were included in the allowance at March 31, 2013.  Net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(49,000) for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $321,000 in the first quarter of 2013.

31

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $90,000, or 12.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to a decline in gains on sale of mortgage loans of $58,000 from the prior year.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $20,000, or 0.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to a decrease in legal and collection expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was calculated using our expected effective rate for 2014 and 2013.  We have recognized deferred tax liabilities and assets to show the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Our statutory federal tax rate was 34.0% in both 2014 and 2013. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 26.5% compared to a negative effective tax rate for 2013. Tax-exempt income exceeded income before taxes in 2013 which ultimately resulted in a negative effective tax rate for the quarter. The difference between the statutory and effective rates are impacted by such factors as income from tax-exempt loans, tax-exempt income on state and municipal securities, and income on bank owned life insurance.

Balance Sheet Review

Overview

Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $420.1 million, an increase of $9.9 million from $410.2 million at December 31, 2013.  Average assets during the first quarter were $414.1 million, a decrease of 0.9%, or $3.7 million, from $417.8 million in the first quarter of 2013.  Average interest earning assets decreased 0.8%, or $3.1 million, from $384.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $381.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Loans

Loans increased $6.5 million, or 2.2%, from $295.1 million at December 31, 2013 to $301.6 million at March 31, 2014.  Total loans averaged $303.4 million the first quarter of 2014, compared to $303.9 million the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.2%.  We experienced increases in commercial real estate loans during the first three months of the year compared to 2013.  The following table presents a summary of the loan portfolio by category:

The majority of our loans are to customers located in south central Kentucky and central Tennessee.  As of March 31, 2014, our twenty largest credit relationships consisted of loans and loan commitments ranging from $3.8 million to $10.1 million.  The aggregate amount of these credit relationships was $97.6 million.

Our lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state and federal law.  Citizens First Bank’s secured legal lending limit to a single borrower was approximately $12.5 million at March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $15.5 million of participations in loans purchased from, and $8.8 million of participations in loans sold to, other banks.

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2014.  Maturities are based on contractual terms.  Our policy is to specifically review and approve all loans renewed; loans are not automatically rolled over.

Credit Quality and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future

33

cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance for loans losses at March 31, 2014 was $4.8 million, or 1.60% of total loans, compared to $4.7 million, or 1.58% of total loans as of December 31, 2013. The allowance increased slightly due to a growth in loans during the first quarter of 2014.

The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Non-performing assets totaled $2.6 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $600,000. Payoffs and paydowns of $339,000 included two other real estate owned properties sold for $185,000 and the payoff of one residential real estate loan of $83,000, but were offset by the addition of $143,000 in commercial real estate loans, $717,000 in commercial loans, and $73,000 in residential real estate loans.

Non-performing loans are defined as non-accrual loans and loans accruing but past due 90 days or more. Non-performing assets are defined as non-performing loans, other real estate owned, and repossessed assets. Management classifies commercial and commercial real estate loans as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not adequately collateralized, or earlier when, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation. We charge off consumer loans after 120 days of delinquency unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.

Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are modified loans in which a concession is provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications are considered TDRs when the concession provided is not available to the borrower through either normal channels or other sources. However, not all loan modifications are TDRs. Our standards relating to loan modifications consider, among other factors, minimum verified income requirements, cash flow analysis, and collateral valuations. However, each potential loan modification is reviewed individually and the terms of the loan are modified to meet a borrower’s specific circumstances at a point in time.TDRs can be classified as either accrual or nonaccrual loans. Non-accrual TDRs are included in non-accrual loans whereas accruing TDRs are excluded because the borrower remains contractually current.

35

Loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, allocations for individual loans are included in the allowance calculation based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to us.  Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in ASC Topic 310 “Receivables”. We evaluate the collectability of both principal and interest when assessing the need for a loss accrual.  Historical loss rates are applied to other loans not subject to individual allocations.  These historical loss rates may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and non-accrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in internal lending policies and credit standards, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and our internal credit examiners.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loan classes by either 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.

The following table presents impaired loans and the related allowance for loan losses attributable to loans evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment for the periods indicated.

Total	301,598		$	4,827	295,068		$	4,653

The decrease in impaired loans during the period is primarily attributed to a $598,000 commercial real estate loan and a $238,000 commercial loan that are no longer being evaluated for impairment, along with the payoff of an $83,000 residential real estate loan, that are offset by the addition of $143,000 in commercial real estate loans, $47,000 in commercial loans, and $63,000 in residential real estate loans that are now evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2014.

Summary of Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table sets forth the breakdown of the allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated.  This allocation is not intended to suggest how actual losses may occur.

	(Dollars in Thousands)
	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Amount		% of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans		Amount		% of Loans in Each Category to Total Loans

Commercial real estate	3,013		59.27	%	2,079		57.62	%

Total allowance for loan losses	$	4,827	100.00	%	$	4,653	100.00	%

We maintain a modest unallocated amount in the allowance to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring losses when evaluating allocations for individual loans or pools of loans.  Allocations on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience. The

37

unallocated portion of the allowance decreased from $365,000 at December 31, 2013 to $107,000 at March 31, 2014 due to changes in qualitative factors assigned to specific pools of loans based on the unique risk factors of these pools.

We believe that the allowance for loan losses of $4.8 million at March 31, 2014 is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio as of that date.  That determination is based on the best information available to management, but necessarily involves uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision and could be susceptible to significant change in the future.  In addition, bank regulatory authorities, as a part of their periodic examinations, may reach different conclusions about the quality of our loan portfolio and the level of the allowance, which could require us to make additional provisions in the future.

Securities

The investment securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency and government sponsored entity securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, tax-exempt securities of states and political subdivisions, a corporate bond and a trust preferred security. The purchase of nontaxable obligations of states and political subdivisions is a part of managing our effective tax rate. Securities are all classified as available-for-sale, and averaged $52.3 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $48.0 million for 2013. The table below presents the carrying value of securities by major category.

(2)The weighted average yields are based on amortized cost and municipal securities are calculated on a full tax- equivalent basis.

Other securities consist of one single issue trust preferred security which has experienced a decline in fair value due to inactivity in the market. No impairment charge is being taken as no loss of principal is anticipated and all principal and interest payments are being received as scheduled. All rated securities are investment grade.  For those that are not rated, the financial condition has been evaluated and no adverse conditions were identified related to repayment. Declines in fair value are a function of rate changes in the market and market illiquidity. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities.

Deposits

Our primary funding source for lending and investment activities results from customer deposits and a deposit listing service.  Deposits at March 31, 2014 were $352.2 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 2.7%, compared to $343.0 million at December 31, 2013.  Total deposits averaged $346.1 million the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $3.6 million, or 1.1%, compared to $342.5 million during the first quarter of 2013.  Average deposits increased during the year, but the cost of funds declined as higher cost deposits matured and were renewed at lower rates.

Time deposits of $100,000 or more totaled $65.0 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $56.8 million at December 31, 2013.  Interest expense on time deposits of $100,000 or more was $159,000 for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $203,000 for the first quarter of 2013.  Our cost has decreased as these certificates of deposit matured and were renewed at lower current market rates.  The following table shows the maturities of time deposits as of March 31, 2014.

Borrowings

FHLB Advances. We obtain advances from the Federal Home Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) for funding and liability management.  These advances are collateralized by a blanket agreement of eligible 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and eligible commercial real estate.  Rates vary based on the term to repayment, and are summarized below as of March 31, 2014:

				(Dollars in Thousands)
Type	Maturity	Rate		Amount
Fixed	December 10, 2014	1.73	%	2,000
Fixed	December 24, 2014	3.46	%	2,000

Fixed	May 24, 2019	1.72	%	3,000
				$	22,000

At March 31, 2014, we had available collateral to borrow an additional $36.5 million from the FHLB.

Other Borrowings.

In 2013, we renewed a credit agreement with a community bank to be used for operating capital and general corporate purposes.  The line has a total availability of $5.0 million, matures November 26, 2014, and bears interest at the prime rate as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal, plus 0.5%, with interest payable monthly.  The loan is secured by the Bank’s common stock.  As of March 31, 2014, the line had a balance of $3.3 million.

40

At March 31, 2014, we had established Federal Funds lines of credit totaling $18.8 million with three correspondent banks.  No amounts were drawn as of March 31, 2014.

We issued $5.0 million in subordinated debentures in October, 2006.  These trust preferred securities bear an interest rate, which reprices each calendar quarter, of 165 basis points over 3-month LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offering Rate).  The rate as of March 31, 2014 was 1.88%.  The subordinated debentures may be included with tier 1 capital (with certain limitations) under current regulatory guidelines.

Liquidity

Our objective for liquidity management is to ensure that we have funds available to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  In order to maintain a proper level of liquidity, the Bank has several sources of funds available on a daily basis that can be used for liquidity purposes.  Those sources of funds include the Bank’s core deposits, cash flow generated by repayment of principal and interest on loans and investment securities; FHLB borrowings; and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are generally a predictable source of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition in our local markets.

Our asset and liability management committee meets monthly and monitors the composition of the balance sheet to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and liquidity.  We prepare a monthly cash flow report which forecasts funding needs and availability for the coming months, based on forecasts of loan closings and payoffs, potentially callable securities, and other factors.

Capital

At March 31, 2014, total shareholders’ equity was $35.9 million compared to $38.3 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.4 million.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company paid $3.3 million to repurchase the remaining 93 shares of the Series A preferred stock that the Company had issued to the Treasury in 2008 under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.  No common dividends have been paid during 2014.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under the regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to

41

qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Under quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, we are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and to total assets.  We believe we met all capital adequacy requirements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Our capital ratios (calculated in accordance with regulatory guidelines) were as follows:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Tier 1 leverage ratio	8.86	%	9.57	%
Regulatory minimum	4.00	%	4.00	%
“Well-capitalized” minimum	N/A		N/A
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	11.48	%	12.56	%
Regulatory minimum	4.00	%	4.00	%
“Well-capitalized” minimum	N/A		N/A
Total risk-based capital ratio	12.73	%	13.81	%
Regulatory minimum	8.00	%	8.00	%
“Well-capitalized” minimum	N/A		N/A

The Bank’s capital ratios (calculated in accordance with regulatory guidelines) were as follows:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Tier 1 leverage ratio	9.65	%	9.62	%
Regulatory minimum	4.00	%	4.00	%
“Well-capitalized” minimum	5.00	%	5.00	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	12.51	%	12.58	%
Regulatory minimum	4.00	%	4.00	%
“Well-capitalized” minimum	6.00	%	6.00	%
Total risk-based capital ratio	13.76	%	13.83	%

“Well-capitalized” minimum	10.00	%	10.00	%

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We use a simulation model as a tool to monitor and evaluate interest rate risk exposure.  The model is designed to measure the sensitivity of net interest income and net income to changing interest rates over future time periods.  Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to changes in interest rates requires us to make assumptions about the volume and characteristics of many attributes, including assumptions relating to the replacement of maturing earning assets and liabilities.  Other assumptions include, but are not limited to, projected prepayments, projected new volume, and the predicted relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in customer account balances.  These effects are combined with our estimate of the most likely rate environment to produce a forecast of net interest income and net income.  The forecasted results are then adjusted for the effect of a gradual increase and decrease in market interest rates on our net interest income and net income.  Because assumptions are inherently uncertain, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or net income or the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income.  Actual results could differ significantly from simulated results.

At March 31, 2014, the model indicated that if rates were to increase by 200 basis points during the remainder of the calendar year, then net interest income would increase 11.51% over the next twelve months.  The model indicated that if rates were to decrease by 200 basis points over the same period, then net interest income would decrease 1.56%.  The table below notes the projected changes in net interest income as indicated by the model for increases in rates up to 400 basis points and decreases in rates to 200 basis points.

Projections for: April 2014 - March 2015

Projected Interest Rate Change	Estimated Value	Net Interest Income $ Change From Base	% Change From Base
+400	18,653,434	4,022,195	27.49	%
+300	17,476,849	2,845,609	19.45	%

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in all material respects to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed in this report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the relevant period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, subsequent to the date of the Chief Executive Officer’s and Chief Financial Officer’s evaluation, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the controls which required corrective action.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Letter Agreement incorporating the Securities Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the date set forth on Schedule A hereto, between the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Investor”) and the company set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Company”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the Company issued to the Investor the number of shares of the series of its preferred stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Preferred Shares”) and a warrant to purchase the number of shares of its common stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Warrant”).

In connection with the consummation of the repurchase (the “Repurchase”) by the Company from the Investor, on the date hereof, of the number of Preferred Shares listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Repurchased Preferred Shares”), as permitted by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009:

(a)The Company hereby acknowledges receipt from the Investor of the share certificate(s) set forth on Schedule A hereto representing the Preferred Shares; and

(b)The Investor hereby acknowledges receipt from the Company of a wire transfer to the account of the Investor set forth on Schedule A hereto in immediately available funds of the aggregate purchase price set forth on Schedule A hereto, representing payment in full for the Repurchased Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to the Liquidation Amount per share, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date hereof.

The Investor and the Company hereby agree that, notwithstanding Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, immediately following consummation of the Repurchase, but subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Investor shall be permitted to Transfer all or a portion of the Warrant with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for, all or a portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable

thereunder, at any time and without limitation, and Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in order to permit the foregoing.  The Company shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate any such Transfer.

In addition, the Company agrees that in the event it elects to repurchase the Warrant, it shall deliver to the Investor within 15 calendar days of the date hereof a notice of intent to repurchase the Warrant, which notice shall be in accordance with Section 4.9(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Warrant Repurchase Notice”).  In the event the Company does not deliver the Warrant Repurchase Notice to the Investor within 15 calendar days of the date hereof, the Investor hereby provides notice, pursuant to Section 4.5(p) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, of its intention to sell the Warrant, such notice to be effective as of the first day following the end of such 15-day period.

In the event that the Company delivers a Warrant Repurchase Notice and the Company and the Investor fail to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Warrant pursuant to the procedures (including the Appraisal Procedure), and in accordance with the time periods, set forth in Section 4.9(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Company revokes the delivery of such Warrant Repurchase Notice, then the Investor hereby provides notice of its intention to sell the Warrant.

This letter agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement.  Executed signature pages to this letter agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Citizens First Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.  Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, reflect a company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions of fair value, and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair value of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (level 2 inputs).  The Company does not have any Level 1 securities.  Level 2 securities include certain U.S. agency bonds, collateralized mortgage and debt obligations, and certain municipal securities. The Company also has one Level 3 security. The fair value is this security is obtained directly from the broker which originally handled the security issue.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned: Commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell.  Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by Bank management.  The appraisal values for collateral-dependent impaired loans are discounted to allow for selling expenses and fees, the limited use nature of various properties, the age of the most recent appraisal, and additional discretionary discounts for location, condition, etc. The Bank annually obtains an updated current appraisal value for each OREO property to certify that the fair value has not declined.  For each parcel of OREO that has declined in value, the Bank records the decline in value by a direct writedown of the asset.

Impaired loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $887,000 at March 31, 2014 with a valuation allowance of $455,000.  Impaired loans had a principal balance of $3.5 million at December 31, 2013, with a valuation allowance of $1.4 million.  An increase in the provision for loan losses of $64,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as a result of net changes in fair values on collateral dependent loans and other factors affecting the provision for loan losses.

Other real estate owned, which is measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying value of $631,000 at March 31, 2014 and $833,000 at December 31, 2013.  Total writedowns of other real estate owned year to date March 31, 2014 and 2013, were $17,000 and $5,000 respectively.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) FHLB Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(c) Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(d) Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e) FHLB Advances/ Subordinated Debentures: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(f) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1 or Level 2 classification consistent with the asset/liability they are associated with.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.”

In determining OTTI under the ASC Topic 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

As of March 31, 2014, our securities portfolio consisted of $54.7 million fair value of securities, $17.7 million, or 22 securities, of which were in an unrealized loss position.

All rated securities are investment grade.  For those that are not rated, the financial condition has been evaluated and no adverse conditions were identified related to repayment.  Declines in fair value are a function of rate differences in the market and market illiquidity.  The Company does not intend or is not expected to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The Company’s unrealized losses 12 months or more relate primarily to its investment in a single trust preferred security.  The security is a single-issuer trust preferred that is not rated.  While market conditions have allowed some increase in the fair market value of the trust preferred security at March 31, 2014, a full recovery has not yet occurred.  No impairment charge is being taken as no loss of principal or interest is anticipated.  All principal and interest payments are being received as scheduled.  On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer, a bank holding company with operations in the state of Kentucky.  Based on the issuer’s continued profitability and well-capitalized position, we do not deem that there is credit loss.  The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to illiquidity affecting these markets and not the expected cash flows of the individual securities.  We have evaluated the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and expect to fully recover our cost basis.  This security continues to pay interest as agreed and future payments are expected to be made as agreed.  This security is not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Company reported total troubled debt restructurings of $4.6 million and $5.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The Company has no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.  Troubled debt restructurings are included in impaired loans. Of the 15 troubled debt restructurings reported at quarter end, 12 loans totaling $3.7 million were accruing and 3 loans totaling $815,000 were on nonaccrual status.

During the quarter ending March 31, 2014, one additional loan totaling $15,000 was modified as a troubled debt restructuring. The modification of the terms of this loan included reducing the interest rate, granting an interest only payment period, and extending the amortization term.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings outstanding as of March 31, 2014:

Specific allocations of $362,000 and $1.1 million were reported for troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  No payment defaults were reported for troubled debt restructurings during the quarter ending March 31, 2014 or March 31, 2013. Specific allocations of $2.4 million were reported for the troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013. No charge offs were taken on troubled debt restructurings during the first quarter of 2014. One previously reported troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $309,000 was charged off during the quarter ending March 31, 2013.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three months ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These loans modified during the three months ending March 31, 2014 have a total recorded investment of $3.7 million as of March 31, 2014. These loans modified during the three months ending March 31, 2013 have a total recorded investment of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2013. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis includes commercial and commercial real estate loans with an outstanding balance greater than $25 thousand and is reviewed on a monthly basis. For residential real estate and consumer loans the analysis primarily involves monitoring the past due status of these loans and at such time that these loans are past due, the Company evaluates the loans to determine if a change in risk category is warranted. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention.  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.  All loans in all loan categories are assigned risk ratings.  Based on the most recent analyses performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

	Pass		Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Total

Earnings Per Share

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share have been computed the same as basic earnings per share, and assumes the conversion of outstanding stock options, convertible preferred stock and warrants, if dilutive.  The following table reconciles the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the quarters ending March 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Quarter ended March 31, 2014						Quarter ended March 31, 2013
	Income			Weighted Average Shares	Per Share Amount		Income/ (Loss)			Weighted- Average Shares	Per Share Amount

Stock options for 72,931 and 85,980 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.  Convertible preferred shares are not included because they are anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.  Common stock warrants totaled 254,218 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.
