General

Farmers National Banc Corp.

Farmers National Banc Corp. (the “Company,” “Farmers,” “we,” “our” or “us”), is a financial holding company and was organized as a one-bank holding company in 1983 under the laws of the State of Ohio and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”).  Amendments to the BHCA in 1999, allowed for a bank holding company to declare itself a financial holding company and thereby engage in financial activities, including securities underwriting and dealing, insurance agency and underwriting activities, and merchant banking activities.  The Company made the declaration to become a financial holding company in 2016.  For a bank holding company to be eligible to declare itself a financial holding company, all of the depository institution subsidiaries must be well-capitalized and well-managed and have satisfactory or better ratings under the Community Reinvestment Act.  The Company operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (the “Bank” or “Farmers Bank”), Farmers Trust Company (“Farmers Trust”), National Associates, Inc. (“NAI”) and Farmers National Captive, Inc. (“Captive”).  Farmers National Insurance, LLC (“Farmers Insurance”) and Farmers of Canfield Investment Co. (“Investments or “Farmers Investments”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank.  The Company and its subsidiaries operate in the domestic banking, trust, retirement consulting, insurance and financial management industries.

The Company’s principal business consists of owning and supervising its subsidiaries.  Although Farmers directs the overall policies of its subsidiaries, including lending practices and financial resources, most day-to-day affairs are managed by their respective officers.  Farmers and its subsidiaries had 453 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2018.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 20 South Broad Street, Canfield, Ohio 44406, and its telephone number is (330) 533-3341.  Farmers’ common shares, no par value, are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “NASDAQ”) under the symbol “FMNB.”  Farmers’ business activities are managed and financial performance is primarily aggregated and reported in three lines of business, the Bank segment, the Trust segment and the Retirement Planning/Consulting segment.  For a discussion of Farmers’ financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, see the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Farmers National Bank of Canfield

During 2017, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (“Monitor”), the holding company of Monitor Bank.  Additional discussion about the acquisition can be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Bank is a full-service national banking association engaged in commercial and retail banking mainly in Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana, Wayne, Holmes, Medina and Stark Counties in Ohio and two locations in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.  The Bank’s commercial and retail banking services include checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposit accounts, commercial, mortgage and installment loans, home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, night depository, safe deposit boxes, money orders, bank checks, automated teller machines, internet banking, travel cards, “E” Bond transactions, MasterCard and Visa credit cards, brokerage services and other miscellaneous services normally offered by commercial banks.

A discussion of the general development of the Bank’s business and information regarding its financial performance throughout 2018, is discussed in “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Bank faces significant competition in offering financial services to customers.  Ohio has a high density of financial service providers, many of which are significantly larger institutions that have greater financial resources than the Bank, and all of which are competitors to varying degrees.  Competition for loans comes principally from savings banks, savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, insurance companies and other financial service companies.  The most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings and loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions.  Additional competition for deposits comes from non-depository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies.

Farmers Trust Company

During 2009, the Company acquired the Farmers Trust.  Farmers Trust offers a full complement of personal and corporate trust services in the areas of estate settlement, trust administration and employee benefit plans.  Farmers Trust operates four offices located in Boardman, Canton, Howland and Wooster, Ohio.

National Associates, Inc.

NAI of Cleveland, Ohio has been a part of the Company since the 2013 acquisition.  The acquisition was part of the Company’s plan to increase the levels of noninterest income and to complement the existing retirement services that were already being offered through Farmers Trust.  NAI operates from its office located in Fairview Park, Ohio

Farmers National Captive, Inc.

Captive was formed during 2016 and is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company that provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Captive pools resources with thirteen similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves and to provide insurance where not currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance market place.  The Captive does not account for a material portion of the revenue and, therefore, will not be discussed individually, but as part of the Company.

Farmers National Insurance, LLC

Farmers Insurance was formed during 2009 and offers a variety of insurance products through licensed representatives.  During 2016, the Bank completed the acquisition of the Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Bowers”).  The transaction involved both cash and stock.  All activity has been merged into Insurance.  Farmers Insurance is a subsidiary of Farmers Bank and does not account for a material portion of the revenue and, therefore, will not be discussed individually, but as part of the Bank.

Farmers of Canfield Investment Company

Farmers Investments was formed during 2014, with the primary purpose of investing in municipal securities.  Farmers Investments is a subsidiary of Farmers Bank and does not account for a material portion of the revenue and, therefore, will not be discussed individually, but as part of the Bank.

Investor Relations

The Company maintains an Internet site at http://www.farmersbankgroup.com, which contains an Investor Relations section that provides access to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  Farmers makes available free of charge on or through its website the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to such documents filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has filed these documents with the Commission.  In addition, the Company’s filings with the Commission may be read and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.  Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.  These filings are also available on the Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has filed the above referenced reports.

Supervision and Regulation

Introduction

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state regulatory agencies.  The regulation of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of consumers, depositors, borrowers, the Deposit Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection of shareholders.  This intensive regulatory environment, among other things, may restrict the Company’s ability to diversify into certain areas of financial services, acquire depository institutions in certain markets or pay dividends on its common shares.  It also may require the Company to provide financial support to its banking and other subsidiaries, maintain capital balances in excess of those desired by management and pay higher deposit insurance premiums as a result of the deterioration in the financial condition of depository institutions in general.

Significant aspects of the laws and regulations that have, or could have a material impact on Farmers and its subsidiaries are described below.  These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable statutes, legislation, regulations and policies, as they may be amended or revised by the U.S. Congress or state legislatures and federal or state regulatory agencies, as the case may be.  Changes in these statutes, legislation, regulations and policies may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory Agencies

Financial Holding Company.  Farmers elected to be a financial holding company.  A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations of the FDIC, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the “CRA”).  Financial holding companies may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including affiliating with securities firms and insurance companies, which are not otherwise permissible for a bank holding company.

As a financial holding company, Farmers is subject to regulation under the BHCA and to inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).  The Federal Reserve Board has extensive enforcement authority over financial and bank holding companies and may initiate enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.  The Federal Reserve Board may assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist or removal orders and may require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries, including subsidiary banks.  Farmers is also required to file reports and other information with the Federal Reserve Board regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries.

Subsidiary Bank. The Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and secondarily by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).  OCC regulations govern permissible activities, capital requirements, dividend limitations, investments, loans and other matters.  The OCC has extensive enforcement authority over Farmers Bank and may impose sanctions on Farmers Bank and, under certain circumstances, may place Farmers Bank into receivership.

Farmers Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Board regulations regarding such matters as the maintenance of reserves against deposits, extensions of credit to Farmers or any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities of Farmers or its subsidiaries and the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

Non-Banking Subsidiaries. Farmers’ non-banking subsidiaries are also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and other applicable federal and state agencies.  In particular, Farmers Insurance is subject to regulation by the Ohio Department of Insurance, which requires, amongst other things, the education and licensing of agencies and individual agents and imposes business conduct rules.

3

Securities and Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The Company is also under the regulation and supervision of the Commission and certain state securities commissions for matters relating to the offering and sale of its securities.  The Company is subject to disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  Farmers common shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol “FMNB” and the Company is subject to the rules for NASDAQ listed companies.

Federal Home Loan Bank. Farmers Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the “FHLB”), which provides credit to its members in the form of advances.  As a member of the FHLB, the Bank must maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB in a specified amount.  Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, the FHLB is required by law to obtain and maintain a security interest in certain types of collateral.  The FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment or service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term advances from the FHLB.  The standards take into account a member’s performance under the CRA and its record of lending to first-time home buyers.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally-insured banks and savings associations and safeguards the safety and soundness of the financial institution industry.  The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC and subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund.

The FDIC may terminate insurance coverage upon a finding that an insured depository institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition enacted or imposed by the institution’s regulatory agency.

Dodd-Frank Act - Basel III

In July 2013, the Federal banking regulators approved a final rule to implement the revised capital adequacy standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and to address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The final rule strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, makes selected changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets and adjusts the prompt corrective action thresholds.  Community banking organizations, such as the Company and the Bank, became subject to the new rule on January 1, 2015 and certain provisions of the new rule will be phased in over the period of 2015 through 2019.

The final rule:

• Permits banking organizations that had less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009 to include in Tier 1 capital trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock that were issued and included in Tier 1 capital prior to May 19, 2010, subject to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, excluding any non-qualifying capital instruments and after all regulatory capital deductions and adjustments have been applied to Tier 1 capital.

• Establishes new qualifying criteria for regulatory capital, including new limitations on the inclusion of deferred tax assets and mortgage servicing rights.

• Requires a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%.

• Increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirement from 4% to 6%.

• Retains the minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirement of 8%.

• Establishes a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4%.

• Retains the existing regulatory capital framework for 1-4 family residential mortgage exposures.

• Permits banking organizations that are not subject to the advanced approaches rule, such as the Company and the Bank, to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for most accumulated other comprehensive income, such that unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale will not affect regulatory capital amounts and ratios.

4

• Implements a new capital conservation buffer requirement for a banking organization to maintain a common equity capital ratio more than 2.5% above the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and will be fully phased in at 2.50% by January 1, 2019.  A banking organization with a buffer of less than the required amount would be subject to increasingly stringent limitations on such distributions and payments as the buffer approaches zero.  The new rule also generally prohibits a banking organization from making such distributions or payments during any quarter if its eligible retained income is negative and its capital conservation buffer ratio was 2.5% or less at the end of the previous quarter.  The eligible retained income of a banking organization is defined as its net income for the four calendar quarters preceding the current calendar quarter, based on the organization’s quarterly regulatory reports, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income.

• Increases capital requirements for past-due loans, high volatility commercial real estate exposures and certain short-term commitments and securitization exposures.

• Expands the recognition of collateral and guarantors in determining risk-weighted assets.

• Removes references to credit ratings consistent with the Dodd Frank Act and establishes due diligence requirements for securitization exposures.

Various legislation affecting financial institutions and the financial industry will likely continue to be introduced in Congress, and such legislation may further change banking statutes and the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways, and could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance depending upon whether any of this potential legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it or any implementing regulations, would have on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Also, such statutes, regulations and policies are continually under review by Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies and are subject to change at any time, particularly in the current economic and regulatory environment.  Any such change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company could have a material effect on the business of the Company.

Financial Holding Company Regulation

As a financial holding company, Farmers’ activities are subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA.  Generally, in addition to the BHCA limits of banking, managing or controlling banks and other activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking, financial holding company activities may include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance agency and underwriting activities and merchant banking activities.  Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a financial holding company is expected to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to each subsidiary and to commit resources to support those subsidiaries.  Under this policy, the Federal Reserve Board may require the company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary and may disapprove of the payment of dividends to the holding company’s shareholders if the Federal Reserve Board believes the payment of such dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice.  The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory requirement.

The BHCA requires prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board for a bank holding company to directly or indirectly acquire more than a 5.0% voting interest in any bank or its parent holding company.  Factors taken into consideration in making such a determination include the effect of the acquisition on competition, the public benefits expected to be received from the acquisition, the projected capital ratios and levels on a post-acquisition basis and the acquiring institution’s record of addressing the credit needs of the communities it serves.

The BHCA also governs interstate banking and restricts Farmers’ nonbanking activities to those determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be financial in nature, or incidental or complementary to such financial activity, without regard to territorial restrictions.  Transactions among the Bank and its affiliates are also subject to certain limitations and restrictions of the Federal Reserve Board, as described more fully under the caption “Dividends and Transactions with Affiliates” in this Item 1.

5

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 permits a qualifying bank holding company to elect to become a financial holding company and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature and not otherwise permissible for a bank holding company.  Farmers elected to become a financial holding company during 2016.

Regulation of Nationally Chartered Banks

As a national banking association, Farmers Bank is subject to regulation under the National Banking Act and is periodically examined by the OCC.  OCC regulations govern permissible activities, capital requirements, dividend limitations, investments, loans and other matters.  Furthermore, Farmers Bank is subject, as a member bank, to certain rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, many of which restrict activities and prescribe documentation to protect consumers.  Under the Bank Merger Act, the prior approval of the OCC is required for a national bank to merge with, or purchase the assets or assume the deposits of, another bank.  In reviewing applications to approve merger and other acquisition transactions, the OCC and other bank regulatory authorities may include among their considerations the competitive effect and public benefits of the transactions, the capital position of the combined organization, the applicant’s performance under the CRA and fair housing laws, and the effectiveness of the entities in restricting money laundering activities. In addition, the establishment of branches by Farmers Bank is subject to the prior approval of the OCC.  The OCC has the authority to impose sanctions on the Bank and, under certain circumstances, may place Farmers Bank into receivership.

The Bank is also an insured institution as a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund.  As a result, it is subject to regulation and deposit insurance assessments by the FDIC.

Dividends and Transactions with Affiliates

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and its other subsidiaries.  The Company’s principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common shares and service its debt is dividends from Farmers Bank and its other subsidiaries.  Various federal and state statutory provisions and regulations limit the amount of dividends that Farmers Bank may pay to Farmers without regulatory approval.  Farmers Bank generally may not, without prior regulatory approval, pay a dividend in an amount greater than its undivided profits after deducting statutory bad debt in excess of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.  In addition, prior approval of the OCC is required for the payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared in a calendar year would exceed the total of Farmers Bank’s net income for the year combined with its retained net income for the two preceding years.

In addition, Farmers and Farmers Bank are subject to other regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums.  The federal banking agencies are authorized to determine under certain circumstances that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof.  The federal banking agencies have stated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice and that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.  In addition, in the current financial and economic environment, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that financial holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy and has discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels, unless both asset quality and capital are very strong.  Thus, the ability of Farmers to pay dividends in the future is currently influenced, and could be further influenced, by bank regulatory policies and capital guidelines.

The Bank is subject to restrictions under federal law that limit the transfer of funds or other items of value to the Company and its nonbanking subsidiaries and affiliates, whether in the form of loans and other extensions of credit, investments and asset purchases or other transactions involving the transfer of value from a subsidiary to an affiliate or for the benefit of an affiliate.  These regulations limit the types and amounts of transactions (including loans due and extensions of credit) that may take place and generally require those transactions to be on an arm’s-length basis.  In general, these regulations require that any “covered transaction” by Farmers Bank with an affiliate must be secured by designated amounts of specified collateral and must be limited, as to any one of Farmers or its non-bank subsidiaries, to 10% of Farmers Bank’s capital stock and surplus, and, as to Farmers and all such non-bank subsidiaries in the aggregate, to 20% of Farmers Bank’s capital stock and surplus.  The Dodd-Frank Act significantly expanded the coverage and scope of the limitations on affiliate transactions within a banking

6

organization including, for example, the requirement that the 10% capital limit on covered transactions apply to financial subsidiaries.  “Covered transactions” are defined by statute to include a loan or extension of credit, as well as a purchase of securities issued by an affiliate, a purchase of assets (unless otherwise exempted by the Federal Reserve Board) from the affiliate, certain derivative transactions that create a credit exposure to an affiliate, the acceptance of securities issued by the affiliate as collateral for a loan and the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate.

Capital loans from the Company to the Bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and certain other indebtedness of the Bank.  In the event of Farmers’ bankruptcy, any commitment by Farmers to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of Farmers Bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950, as amended, provides that, in the event of the “liquidation or other resolution” of an insured depository institution such as the Bank, the insured and uninsured depositors, along with the FDIC, will have priority in payment ahead of unsecured, nondeposit creditors, including the Company, with respect to any extensions of credit they have made to such insured depository institution.

Capital Adequacy

Both Farmers and Farmers Bank are subject to risk-based capital requirements imposed by their respective primary federal banking regulator.  The Federal Reserve Bank monitors the capital adequacy of Farmers and the FDIC monitors the capital adequacy of Farmers Bank. The revised risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and insured depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”) became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015.  The Basel III Rules require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and of tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets.

Under the Basel III Rules, common equity tier 1 capital consists of common stock and paid-in capital (net of treasury stock) and retained earnings.  Common equity tier 1 capital is reduced by goodwill, certain intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets that arise from tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards, net of any valuation allowance, and certain other items as specified by the Basel III Rules.

Tier 1 capital includes common equity tier 1 capital and certain additional tier 1 items as provided under the Basel III Rules.

Basel III Rules allow for insured depository institutions to make a one-time election not to include most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital and instead effectively use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules.  The Company and the Bank made this opt-out election in the first quarter of 2015 to avoid significant variations in the level of capital depending upon the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the fair value of our investment securities portfolio.

The Basel III Rules also changed the risk-weights of assets in an effort to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures.  These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and the unsecured portion of non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise on nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (from 0% to up to 600%) for equity exposures.

The Basel III Rules limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements.  The capital conservation buffer began being phased in on January 1, 2016.  When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, Basel III will require the Bank to maintain: (i) as a newly adopted international standard, a

7

minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer (the “CCB”) (which is added to the 4.5% CET1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, which will effectively result in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of 7.0%); (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the CCB (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% on full implementation); (iii) a minimum ratio of Total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the CCB (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and (iv) as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures (computed as the average for each quarter of the month-end ratios for the quarter).

Prior to January 1, 2015, federal regulatory agencies required the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, and tier 1 capital to average assets (tier 1 leverage ratio) of at least 4.0%. In order to be considered well capitalized under the rules in effect prior to January 1, 2015, the Company had to maintain tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively, and a leverage ratio of 5.0%.  Tier 1 capital consisted of common equity, retained earnings, certain types of preferred stock, qualifying minority interest and trust preferred securities, subject to limitations, and excluded goodwill and various intangible assets.

The Basel III final framework provides for a number of new deductions from and adjustments to CET1, including the deduction of mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities if any one such category exceeds 10.0% of CET1 or if all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15.0% of CET1.

The following is a summary of the other major changes from the current general risk-based capital rule:

• replacement of the external credit ratings approach to standards of creditworthiness with a simplified supervisory formula approach;

• stricter limitations on the extent to which mortgage servicing assets, deferred tax assets and significant investments in unconsolidated financial institutions may be included in common equity tier 1 capital and the risk weight to be assigned to any amounts of such assets not deducted; and    

• increased risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans and some equity exposures, and selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors.

Notwithstanding its release of the Basel III framework as a final framework, the Basel Committee is considering further amendments to Basel III, including imposition of additional capital surcharges on globally systemically important financial institutions.  In addition to Basel III, the Dodd-Frank Act requires or permits federal banking agencies to adopt regulations affecting capital requirements in a number of respects, including potentially more stringent capital requirements for systemically important financial institutions.  Accordingly, the regulations ultimately applicable to the Company may differ substantially from the currently published final Basel III framework.  Requirements of higher capital levels or higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact the Company’s net income and return on equity.

Volcker Rule

In December 2013, five federal agencies adopted a final regulation implementing the Volcker Rule provision of the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Volcker Rule”).  The Volcker Rule places limits on the trading activity of insured depository institutions and entities affiliated with a depository institution, subject to certain exceptions.  The trading activity includes a purchase or sale as principal of a security, derivative, commodity future or option on any such instrument in order to benefit from short-term price movements or to realize short-term profits.  The Volcker Rule exempts specified U.S. Government, agency and/or municipal obligations, and it exempts trading conducted in certain capacities, including as a broker or other agent, through a deferred compensation or pension plan, as a fiduciary on behalf of customers, to satisfy a debt previously contracted, repurchase and securities lending agreements and risk-mitigating hedging activities.  

8

The Volcker Rule also prohibits a banking entity from having an ownership interest in, or certain relationships with, a hedge fund or private equity fund, with a number of exceptions.

The Bank does not engage in any of the trading activities or own any of the types of funds prohibited by the Volcker Rule.

Prompt Corrective Action

The federal banking agencies have established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve certain of the problems of undercapitalized institutions.  This system is based on five capital level categories for insured depository institutions: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.”

The federal banking agencies may (or in some cases must) take certain supervisory actions depending upon a bank’s capital level.  For example, the banking agencies must appoint a receiver or conservator for a bank within 90 days after it becomes “critically undercapitalized” unless the bank’s primary regulator determines, with the concurrence of the FDIC, that other action would better achieve regulatory purposes.  Banking operations otherwise may be significantly affected depending on a bank’s capital category.  For example, a bank that is not “well capitalized” generally is prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market, and the holding company of any undercapitalized depository institution must guarantee, in part, specific aspects of the bank’s capital plan for the plan to be acceptable.

Federal law permits the OCC to order the pro rata assessment of shareholders of a national bank whose capital stock has become impaired, by losses or otherwise, to relieve a deficiency in such national bank’s capital stock.  This statute also provides for the enforcement of any such pro rata assessment of shareholders of such national bank to cover such impairment of capital stock by sale, to the extent necessary, of the capital stock owned by any assessed shareholder failing to pay the assessment.  As the sole shareholder of Farmers Bank, the Company is subject to such provisions.

Deposit Insurance

Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC, and Farmers Bank is assessed deposit insurance premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund.  The general insurance limit is $250,000 per separately insured depositor.  This insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.  Insurance premiums for each insured institution are determined based upon the institution’s capital level and supervisory rating provided to the FDIC by the institution’s primary federal regulator and other information deemed by the FDIC to be relevant to the risk posed to the Deposit Insurance Fund by the institution.  The assessment rate is then applied to the amount of the institution’s deposits to determine the institution’s insurance premium.

The FDIC assesses a quarterly deposit insurance premiums on each insured institution based on risk characteristics of the institution and may also impose special assessments in emergency situations.  The premiums fund the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”).  Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC has established 2.0% as the designated reserve ratio (“DRR”), which is the amount in the DIF as a percentage of all DIF insured deposits.  In March 2016, the FDIC adopted final rules designed to meet the statutory minimum DRR of 1.35% by September 30, 2010, the deadline imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to offset the effect on institutions with assets of less than $10 billion of the increase in the statutory minimum DRR to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15%.  Although the FDIC’s new rules reduced assessment rates on all banks, they imposed a surcharge on banks with assets of $10 billion or more to be paid until the DRR reaches 1.35%.  The rules also provide assessment credits to banks with assets of less than $1 billion for the portion of their assessments that contribute to the increase of the DRR to 1.35%.  The rules further changed the method of determining risk-based assessment rates for established banks with less than $10 billion in assets to better ensure that banks taking on greater risks pay more for deposit insurance than banks that take on less risk.  

9

In addition, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, which was established by the government to recapitalize a predecessor to the DIF.  These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2019.

As insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by federally-insured institutions.  It also may prohibit any federally-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the Deposit Insurance Fund.  The FDIC also has the authority to take enforcement actions against insured institutions.  Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or written agreement entered into with the FDIC.  The management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Fiscal and Monetary Policies

The Company’s business and earnings are affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies.  The Company is particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States in order to influence general economic conditions, primarily through open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in the reserve requirements against depository institutions’ deposits.  These policies and regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits, as well as interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits.

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve board have had a significant effect on operations and results of financial institutions in the past and are expected to have significant effects in the future.  In view of the changing conditions in the economy, the money markets and activities of monetary and fiscal authorities, Farmers can make no predictions as to future changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit levels.

Community Reinvestment Act

The CRA requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas consistent with safe and sound banking practice.  Under the CRA, each depository institution is required to help meet the credit needs of its market areas by, among other things, providing credit to low and moderate-income individuals and communities.  Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the CRA and are assigned ratings.  In order for a bank holding company to commence any new activity permitted by the BHCA, or to acquire any company engaged in any new activity permitted by the BHCA, each insured depository institution subsidiary of the bank holding company must have received a rating of at least “satisfactory” in its most recent examination under the CRA.  Furthermore, banking regulators take into account CRA ratings when considering approval of a proposed transaction.  Farmers received a rating of “satisfactory” in its most recent CRA examination.

Customer Privacy

Farmers Bank is subject to regulations limiting the ability of financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.  These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow customers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party.  These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted and conveyed to outside vendors.

Anti-Money Laundering and the USA Patriot Act

The Uniting and Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”) and its related regulations require insured depository institutions, broker-dealers and certain other financial institutions to have policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing.  The USA Patriot Act and its regulations also provide for information sharing, subject to conditions, between federal law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, as well as among financial institutions, for counter-terrorism purposes.  Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution.  In addition, federal banking agencies are required, when reviewing bank holding company acquisition and bank merger applications, to take into account the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering policies, procedures and controls of the applicants.

10

Corporate Governance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 effected broad reforms to areas of corporate governance and financial reporting for public companies under the jurisdiction of the Commission.  The Company’s corporate governance policies include an Audit Committee Charter, a Compensation Committee Charter, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.  The Board of Directors reviews the Company’s corporate governance practices on a continuing basis.  These and other corporate governance policies have been provided previously to shareholders and are available, along with other information on Farmers’ corporate governance practices, on the Company’s website at www.farmersbankgroup.com.

As directed by Section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are each required to certify that the Company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact.  The rules have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls, they have made certain disclosures about the Company’s internal controls to its auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors and they have included information in the Company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.

Executive and Incentive Compensation

In June 2010, the Federal Reserve Board, OCC and FDIC issued joint interagency guidance on incentive compensation policies (the “Joint Guidance”) intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking.  This principles-based guidance, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should: (i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks; (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management; and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors.

Pursuant to the Joint Guidance, the Federal Reserve Board will review as part of a regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of financial institutions such as Farmers.  Such reviews will be tailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of the organization’s activities and the prevalence of incentive compensation arrangements.  The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination and deficiencies will be incorporated into the institution’s supervisory ratings, which can affect the institution’s ability to make acquisitions and take other actions.  Enforcement actions may be taken against an institution if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness, and prompt and effective measures are not being taken to correct the deficiencies.

On February 7, 2011, the federal banking agencies initially issued jointly proposed rules on incentive-based compensation arrangements under applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act (the “First Proposed Rules”).  The First Proposed Rules generally apply to financial institutions with $1.0 billion or more in assets that maintain incentive-based compensation arrangements for certain covered employees.  

In May 2016, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a second joint notice of proposed rules (the “Second Proposed Joint Rules”) likewise designed to prohibit incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks at financial institutions.  The Second Proposed Joint Rules would also apply to covered financial institutions with total assets of $1 billion or more, but the rules would differ for each of three categories of financial institutions:

• Level 1 – institutions with assets of $250 billion or more;

• Level 2 – institutions with assets of at least $50 billion and less than $250 billion; and

• Level 3 – institutions with assets of at least $1 billion and less than $50 billion.

11

Farmers would be a Level 3 institution. Some of the requirements would apply only to Level 1 and Level 2 institutions.  For all covered institutions, including Level 3 institutions, the proposed rules would:

• prohibit incentive-based compensation arrangements that are “excessive” or “could lead to material financial loss;”

• require incentive based compensation that is consistent with a balance of risk and reward, effective management and control of risk, and effective governance; and

• require board oversight, recordkeeping and disclosure to the appropriate regulatory agency.  

Public companies will also be required, once stock exchanges impose additional listing requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, to implement “clawback” procedures for incentive compensation payments and to disclose the details of the procedures which allow recovery of incentive compensation that was paid on the basis of erroneous financial information necessitating a restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements.  This clawback policy is intended to apply to compensation paid within a three year look-back window of the restatement and would cover all executives who received incentive awards.

The Dodd-Frank Act also provides shareholders the opportunity to cast a non-binding vote on executive compensation practices, imposes new executive compensation disclosure requirements, and contains additional considerations of the independence of compensation advisors.

Future Legislation

Various and significant legislation affecting financial institutions and the financial industry is from time to time introduced in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures, as well as by regulatory agencies.  Such initiatives may include proposals to expand or contract the powers of bank holding companies and depository institutions or proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system.  It is likely that the Trump Administration and the U.S. Congress will pursue and potentially implement legislative or regulatory changes affecting financial institutions and the financial industry.  In 2018, President Trump signed a bill reforming the Dodd-Frank Act and the Trump Administration has indicated its intent to loosen additional regulations.  Such legislation could change the operating environment for Farmers and its subsidiaries in unpredictable ways, it could decrease the costs of doing business, expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among financial institutions.  With the enactment and the continuing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and regulations thereunder, the nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions remains very unpredictable.  Farmers cannot predict the scope and timing of any such future legislation and, if enacted, the effect that it could have on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Summary

To the extent that the foregoing information describes statutory and regulatory provisions applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those provisions or agreements.  Also, such statutes, regulations and policies are continually under review by the U.S. Congress and state legislatures as well as federal and state regulatory agencies and are subject to change at any time, particularly in the current economic and regulatory environment.  Any such change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policies could have a material effect on Farmers and its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following are certain risk factors that could materially and negatively affect our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.  These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause our actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements.  The risks that are discussed below are not the only ones we face.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected.  Additional risks that are not presently known or that we presently deem to be immaterial could also have a material, adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

12

Risks Relating to Economic and Market Conditions

Changes in economic, political, and market conditions may adversely affect our industry and our business.

Our success depends in part on national and local economic, political, and market conditions as well as governmental monetary and other financial policies.  Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply, governmental fiscal policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings.  Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, additional decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure.  Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings.  If during a period of reduced real estate values we are required to liquidate the collateral securing loans to satisfy the debt or to increase our allowance for loan losses, it could materially reduce our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition.  Moreover, the Financial Accounting Standards Board may change its requirements for establishing the loan loss allowance.  The majority of our loans are to individuals and businesses in Northeast Ohio.  Consequently, further significant declines in the economy in the area could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  It is uncertain when the negative credit trends in our market will reverse, and, therefore, future earnings are susceptible to further declining credit conditions in the market in which we operate.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our income and financial condition.

Our earnings and cash flow are dependent upon our net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest income generated by our interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of loans and, to a lesser extent, securities) and the interest expense generated by our interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of deposits and wholesale borrowings).  Our level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of our interest-earning assets, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities.  These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors, such as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board and market interest rates.

Interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board.  Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits.  While we have taken measures intended to manage the risks of operating in a changing interest rate environment, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue interest rate risk.  See additional interest rate risk discussion under the Market Risk section found in Item 7A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Defaults by another larger financial institution could adversely affect financial markets generally.

The commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships between institutions.  As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity and credit problems, losses or defaults by other institutions.  This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which we and our subsidiaries interact on a daily basis, and therefore could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

13

Risks Related to Our Business

We extend credit to a variety of customers based on internally set standards and judgment.  We manage credit risk through a program of underwriting standards, the review of certain credit decisions and an on-going process of assessment of the quality of credit already extended.  Our credit standards and on-going process of credit assessment might not protect us from significant credit losses.

We take credit risk by virtue of making loans, extending loan commitments and letters of credit and, to a lesser degree, purchasing non-governmental securities.  Our exposure to credit risk is managed through the use of consistent underwriting standards that emphasize “in-market” lending, while avoiding highly leveraged transactions as well as excessive industry and other concentrations.  Our credit administration function employs risk management techniques to ensure that loans adhere to corporate policy and problem loans are promptly identified.  While these procedures are designed to provide us with the information needed to implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take proactive corrective actions, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue credit risk.

We have significant exposure to risks associated with commercial real estate and residential real estate in our primary markets.

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 65.1% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate and residential real estate loans, including real estate development, construction and residential and commercial mortgage loans.  Consequently, real estate-related credit risks are a significant concern for us.  The adverse consequences from real estate-related credit risks tend to be cyclical and are often driven by national economic developments that are not controllable or entirely foreseeable by us or our borrowers.  General difficulties in our real estate markets have recently contributed to increases in our non-performing loans, charge-offs and decreases in our income.

Our business depends significantly on general economic conditions in the State of Ohio.  Accordingly, the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, and the value of the collateral securing such loans, may be significantly affected by economic conditions in the regions we serve or by changes in the local real estate markets.  A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment, acts of terrorism or other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our indirect lending exposes us to increased credit risks.

A portion of our current lending involves the purchase of consumer automobile installment sales contracts from automobile dealers located in Northeastern Ohio.  These loans are for the purchase of new or late model used cars.  We serve customers over a broad range of creditworthiness, and the required terms and rates are reflective of those risk profiles.  While these loans have higher yields than many of our other loans, such loans involve significant risks in addition to normal credit risk.  Potential risk elements associated with indirect lending include the limited personal contact with the borrower as a result of indirect lending through dealers, the absence of assured continued employment of the borrower, the varying general creditworthiness of the borrower, changes in the local economy and difficulty in monitoring collateral.  While indirect automobile loans are secured, such loans are secured by depreciating assets and characterized by loan to value ratios that could result in us not recovering the full value of an outstanding loan upon default by the borrower.  Delinquencies, charge-offs and repossessions of vehicles in this portfolio are always concerns.  If general economic conditions worsen, we may experience higher levels of delinquencies, repossessions and charge-offs.

Commercial and industrial loans may expose us to greater financial and credit risk than other loans.

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 17.0% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial and industrial loans.  Commercial and industrial loans generally carry larger loan balances and can involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than other loans.  Any significant failure to pay on time by our customers would hurt our earnings and cause a significant increase in non-performing loans.  The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans are a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.  In addition, when

14

underwriting a commercial or industrial loan, we may take a security interest in commercial real estate, and, in some instances upon a default by the borrower, we may foreclose on and take title to the property, which may lead to potential financial risks.  An increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our allowance for loan loss may not be adequate to cover actual future losses.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to cover current, probable incurred loan losses.  Every loan we make carries a certain risk of non-repayment, and we make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of loans.  Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans and performance of customers relative to their financial obligations with us.  The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates.  We cannot fully predict the amount or timing of losses or whether the loss allowance will be adequate in the future.  If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which will require additions to the allowance.  Excessive loan losses and significant additions to our allowance for loan losses could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are subject to certain risks with respect to liquidity.

“Liquidity” refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support our operations and to fulfill our obligations, including commitments to originate loans, to repay our wholesale borrowings and other liabilities and to satisfy the withdrawal of deposits by our customers.  Our primary source of liquidity is our core deposit base, which is raised through our retail branch system.  Core deposits – savings and money market accounts, time deposits less than $250 thousand and demand deposits—comprised approximately 93.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2018.  Additional available unused wholesale sources of liquidity include advances from the FHLB, issuances through dealers in the capital markets and access to certificates of deposit issued through brokers.  Liquidity is further provided by unencumbered, or unpledged, investment securities that totaled $202.4 million at December 31, 2018.  An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale or pledging as collateral of loans and other assets could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity.  Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general.  Factors that could negatively affect our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or negative regulatory action against us.  Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as severe disruption of the financial markets or negative news and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole, as evidenced by recent turmoil in the domestic and worldwide credit markets.

Our business strategy includes continuing our growth plans. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively.

We intend to continue pursuing a profitable growth strategy both within our existing markets and in new markets. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development.  We cannot assure that we will be able to expand our market presence in our existing markets or successfully enter new markets or that any such expansion will not adversely affect our results of operations.  Failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.  Also, if we grow more slowly than anticipated, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.

15

We may experience difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, or acquisitions may not perform as expected.

We completed the acquisition of Monitor in 2017 and Bowers in 2016.  The successful integration of these acquisitions depends on our ability to manage the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses.  Integrating operations is complex and requires significant efforts and expenses.  Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:

• employees may voluntarily or involuntarily exit the Company because of the acquisitions;

• our management team may have its attention diverted while trying to integrate the acquired companies;

• we may encounter obstacles when incorporating the acquired operations into our operations;

• differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

• potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses;

• previously undetected operational or other issues; and

• the acquired operations may not otherwise perform as expected or provide expected results.

Any of these factors could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition or could reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results after the acquisition.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, which could reduce our anticipated profitability.

We expect that our acquisitions will result in certain synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects, although we may not fully realize these expectations.  Our assumptions underlying estimates of expected cost savings may be inaccurate or general industry and business conditions may deteriorate.  In addition, our growth and operating strategies for acquired businesses may be different from the strategies that the acquired companies pursued.  If these factors limit our ability to integrate or operate the acquired companies successfully or on a timely basis, our expectations of future results of operations, including certain cost savings and synergies expected to result from acquisitions, may not be met.

We may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key people.  Competition for the best people in most activities in which we engage can be intense, and we may not be able to retain or hire the people we want or need.  In order to attract and retain qualified employees, we must compensate them at market levels.  If we are unable to continue to attract and retain qualified employees, or do so at rates necessary to maintain our competitive position, our performance, including our competitive position, could suffer, and, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Strong competition within our markets could reduce our ability to attract and retain business.

We encounter significant competition from banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage banks, and other financial service companies in our markets.  Some of our competitors offer a broader range of products and services than we can offer as a result of their size and ability to achieve economies of scale.  Such competition includes major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain more numerous banking locations and support extensive promotional and advertising campaigns.  Our ability to maintain our history of strong financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will depend in part on our continued ability to compete successfully in our market.  Our financial performance and return on investment to shareholders also depends on our ability to expand the scope of available financial services to our customers.  In addition to other banks, competitors include securities dealers, brokers, investment advisors and finance and insurance companies.  The increasingly competitive environment is, in part, a result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers.

16

Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.

Technology and other changes are allowing parties to utilize alternative methods to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks.  For example, consumers can now maintain funds in brokerage accounts or mutual funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits.  Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks.  The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits.  The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are exposed to operational risk.

Similar to any large organization, we are exposed to many types of operational risk, including reputational risk, legal and compliance risk, the risk of fraud or theft by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems.

Negative public opinion can result from our actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities, including lending practices, corporate governance and acquisitions and from actions taken by government regulators and community organizations in response to those activities.  Negative public opinion can adversely affect our ability to attract and keep customers, and can expose us to litigation and regulatory action.

Given the volume of transactions we process, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully rectified.  Our necessary dependence upon automated systems to record and process our transaction volume may further increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect.  We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control (for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages), which may give rise to disruption of service to customers and to financial loss of liability.  We are further exposed to the risk that our external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as we are) and to the risk that our (or our vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate.

Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential customer information, whether through a data breach of our computer systems by cyber-attack or otherwise, could severely harm our business.

As part of our financial institution business, we collect, process and retain sensitive and confidential client and customer information on behalf of our subsidiaries and other third parties.  Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors or other similar events.  If information security is breached, information could be lost or misappropriated, resulting in financial loss or costs to us or damages to others.  Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information, whether by us or by our vendors, could severely damage our reputation, expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, or disrupt our operations, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  We have not experienced any material loss relating to a cyber-attack or other information security breach, but there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such attacks or attempted breaches, or incur resulting losses, in the future.  Our risks with respect to these threats remains heightened due to the evolving sophistication and frequency of such threats.  As cyber-attacks and other attempted information security threats continue to evolve, we may be required to spend significant additional resources in efforts to modify and enhance our protective measures or in investigating or remediating of security breaches or vulnerabilities.

17

We depend on our subsidiaries for dividends, distributions and other payments.

As a financial holding company, we are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries.  Our principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common shares is dividends from these subsidiaries.  Federal and state statutory provisions and regulations limit the amount of dividends that our banking and other subsidiaries may pay to us without regulatory approval.  In the event our subsidiaries become unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to pay dividends on our outstanding common shares.  Accordingly, our inability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Further discussion of our ability to pay dividends can be found under the caption “Dividends and Transactions with Affiliates” in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We may elect or be compelled to seek additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed.

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations.  Federal banking agencies have proposed extensive changes to their capital requirements; including raising required amounts and eliminating the inclusion of certain instruments from the calculation of capital.  The final form of such regulations and their impact on the Company is unknown at this time, but may require us to raise additional capital.  In addition, we may elect to raise capital to support our business or to finance acquisitions, if any, or for other anticipated reasons.  Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on financial performance, conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, including the satisfaction or release of preemptive rights in the event of a common share offering, many of which are outside our control.  Therefore, there can be no assurance additional capital can be raised when needed or that capital can be raised on acceptable terms.  Impairment to our ability to raise capital may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to the Legal and Regulatory Environment

Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

The FDIC maintains the Deposit Insurance Fund to resolve the cost of bank failures.  Since late 2008, the FDIC has taken various actions intended to maintain a strong funding position and restore reserve ratios of the Deposit Insurance Fund.  Those actions included increasing assessment rates for all insured institutions, requiring riskier institutions to pay a larger share of premiums by factoring in rate adjustments based on secured liabilities and unsecured debt levels, and imposing special assessments.  In addition, in 2011 the FDIC approved a final rule that changed the deposit insurance assessment base and assessment rate schedule, adopted a new large-bank pricing assessment scheme and set a target size for the Deposit Insurance Fund.  The rule, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, finalized a target size for the Deposit Insurance Fund at 2 percent of insured deposits.  The FDIC recently adopted rules revising assessments in a manner that benefits banks with assets of less than $10 billion, although there can be no assurance that such assessments will not change in the future.

We have a limited ability to control the amount of premiums we are required to pay for FDIC insurance.  If there are additional financial institution failures or other significant legislative or regulatory changes, the FDIC may be required to increase assessment rates or take actions similar to those taken after 2008.  Increases in FDIC insurance assessment rates may materially adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to continue to pay dividends on our common shares at the current rate or at all.

Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely impact us or the businesses in which we are engaged.

The financial services industry is extensively regulated.  We are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations.  Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund, and not to benefit our shareholders.  The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact us or our ability to increase the value of our business.  Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by an institution and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses.  Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies or significant litigation against us could cause us to devote significant time and resources to defending our business and may lead to penalties that materially affect our shareholders and us.

18

In addition to laws, regulations and actions directed at the operations of banks, proposals to reform the housing finance market consider winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could negatively affect our sales of loans.

Even a reduction in regulatory restrictions could adversely affect our operations and our shareholders if less restrictive regulation increases competition within the industry generally or within our markets.

Our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity may be adversely impacted by issues arising in foreclosure practices, including delays in the foreclosure process, related to certain industry deficiencies, as well as potential losses in connection with actual or projected repurchases and indemnification payments related to mortgages sold into the secondary market.

Previous announcements of deficiencies in foreclosure documentation by several large seller/servicer financial institutions have raised various concerns relating to mortgage foreclosure practices.  The integrity of the foreclosure process is important to our business, as an originator and servicer of residential mortgages.  As a result of our continued focus of concentrating our lending efforts in our primary markets in Ohio, as well as servicing loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), we do not anticipate suspending any of our foreclosure activities.  We previously reviewed our foreclosure procedures and concluded they are generally conservative in nature and do not present the significant documentation deficiencies underlying other industry foreclosure problems.  Nevertheless, we could face delays and challenges in the foreclosure process arising from claims relating to industry practices generally, which could adversely affect recoveries and our financial results, whether through increased expenses of litigation and property maintenance, deteriorating values of underlying mortgaged properties or unsuccessful litigation results generally.

In addition, in connection with the origination and sale of residential mortgages into the secondary market, we make certain representations and warranties, which, if breached, may require us to repurchase such loans, substitute other loans or indemnify the purchasers of such loans for actual losses incurred in respect of such loans.  Although we believe that our mortgage documentation and procedures have been appropriate and are generally conservative in nature, it is possible that we will receive repurchase requests in the future and we may not be able to reach favorable settlements with respect to such requests.  It is therefore possible that we may increase our reserves or may sustain losses associated with such loan repurchases and indemnification payments.

Environmental liability associated with commercial lending could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property.  During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans.  In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties.  If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage.  In addition, we own and operate certain properties that may be subject to similar environmental liability risks.

Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property.  In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability.  Although we have policies and procedures requiring the performance of an environmental site assessment before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these assessments may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards.  The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

19

Impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets, or deferred tax assets could require charges to earnings, which could result in a negative impact on our results of operations.

In assessing the impairment of investment securities, we consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether we have the intent to sell the debt security or will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  Under current accounting standards, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indeterminate lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are assessed for impairment periodically or when impairment indicators are present.  Assessment of goodwill and such other intangible assets could result in circumstances where the applicable intangible asset is deemed to be impaired for accounting purposes.  Under such circumstances, the intangible asset’s impairment would be reflected as a charge to earnings in the period.  Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent it is more likely than not they will be realized.  Should management determine it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, a valuation allowance with a change to earnings would be reflected in the period.  This was realized as a result of the enactment on December 22, 2017, of H.R.1, known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” which, among other things, reduced the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result of passage of the new tax law, Farmers completed a revaluation of its net deferred tax assets.  The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, represent corporate tax benefits anticipated to be realized in the future.  The reduction in the federal corporate tax rate, effective January 1, 2018, reduces these benefits.  Farmers reduced its net deferred tax assets by approximately $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing an impact on earnings per share of approximately $0.06 per diluted share based fourth quarter weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 27.5 million.

Changes and uncertainty in tax laws, including the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, could adversely affect our performance.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local taxes, including income, excise, sales/use, payroll, financial institutions tax, withholding and ad valorem taxes.  Changes to our taxes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and, as described in the above risk discussion and below, the fair value of net deferred tax assets.  In addition, our customers are subject to a wide variety of federal, state and local taxes.  Changes in taxes paid by our customers may adversely affect their ability to purchase homes or consumer products, which could adversely affect their demand for our loans and deposit products.  In addition, such negative effects on our customers could result in defaults on the loans we have made and decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities in which we have invested.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, among other changes, imposes additional limitations on the federal income tax deductions individual taxpayers may take for mortgage loan interest payments and for payments of state and local taxes, including real property taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also imposes additional limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense and eliminates other deductions in their entirety, including deductions for certain home equity loan interest payments. Such limits and eliminations may result in customer defaults on loans we have made and decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities in which we have invested.

Anti-takeover provisions could delay or prevent an acquisition or change in control by a third party.

Provisions of the Ohio General Corporation Law, our Amended Articles of Incorporation, and our Amended Code of Regulations, including a staggered board and supermajority voting requirements, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or could have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us.

20

We may be a defendant from time to time in the future in a variety of litigation and other actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our subsidiaries and we may be involved from time to time in the future in a variety of litigation arising out of our business.  Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation.  Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

(1) Tangible book value per share is Total Stockholders’ Equity minus goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the number of shares outstanding.

(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by net interest income plus noninterest income.  

(3) The tangible common equity ratio is calculated by dividing total common stockholders’ equity by total assets, after reducing both amounts by intangible assets.  The tangible common equity ratio is not required by U.S. GAAP or by applicable bank regulatory requirements, but is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels.  Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate the tangible common equity ratio, our tangible common equity ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry.  Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  With respect to the calculation of the actual unaudited tangible common equity ratio as of December 31, 2018, reconciliations of tangible common equity to U.S. GAAP total common stockholders’ equity and tangible assets to U.S. GAAP total assets are set forth below:

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following presents a discussion and analysis of Farmers’ financial condition and results of operations by its management. The review highlights the principal factors affecting earnings and the significant changes in balance sheet items for the years 2018, 2017 and 2016.  Financial information for prior years is presented when appropriate.  The objective of this financial review is to enhance the reader’s understanding of the accompanying tables and charts, the consolidated financial statements, notes to financial statements and financial statistics appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Where applicable, this discussion also reflects management’s insights of known events and trends that have or may reasonably be expected to have a material effect on Farmers’ business, financial condition or results of operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, but rather statements based on Farmers’ current expectations, beliefs and assumptions regarding the future of Farmers’ business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, its intended results and future performance, the economy and other future conditions.  Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “expect,” “estimate,”  “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan” “project,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual future results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Numerous uncertainties, risks, and changes could cause or contribute to Farmers’ actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Farmers’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The following list, which is not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, summarizes several factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected in these forward-looking statements:

• general economic conditions in market areas where Farmers conducts business, which could materially impact credit quality trends;

• business conditions in the banking industry;

• the regulatory environment;

• fluctuations in interest rates;

• demand for loans in the market areas where Farmers conducts business;

• rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards;

• competitive factors, including increased competition with regional and national financial institutions;

• new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and

• other similar items.

Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect Farmers’ business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations.  Farmers does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or alter any statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The Company’s net income totaled $32.6 million during 2018, compared to $22.7 million for 2017.  On a per share basis, diluted earnings per share were $1.16 as compared to $0.82 diluted earnings per share for 2017.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.46% and 13.13%, respectively, for the year ending December 31, 2018, compared to 1.09% and 9.92% for 2017.  The return on average tangible equity increased from 13.48% in 2017 to 15.95% in 2018.

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” was signed into law.  H.R.1, among other things, reduced the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result of passage of the new tax law, Farmers’ effective tax rate decreased from 30.72% for the year ended December 31, 2017 to 14.92% for the year ended December 31, 2018.  It is important to note that also as a result of the new tax law, Farmers determined that its net deferred tax assets needed to be reduced in the fourth quarter of 2017 by approximately $1.8 million, representing an impact on earnings per share of approximately $0.06 per diluted share for that fourth quarter, based on that quarter’s weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 28 million.

On August 15, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Monitor, the holding company for Monitor Bank.  The transaction involved both cash and 465,787 shares of stock totaling $7.5 million.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, common shareholders of Monitor were entitled to elect to receive consideration in cash or in common shares, without par value, of the Farmers National Banc Corp., subject to an overall limitation of 85% of the Monitor common shares being exchanged for Farmers common shares and 15% exchanged for cash.  The per share cash consideration of $769.38 is equal to Monitor’s March 31 tangible book value multiplied by 1.25.  Based on the volume weighted average closing price of Farmers common shares for the 20 trading days ended August 11, 2017 of $14.04, the final stock exchange ratio was 54.80, resulting in an implied value per Monitor common share of $769.38.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the principal source of the Company’s earnings, represents the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  For 2018, taxable equivalent net interest income increased $3.5 million, or 4.6%, from 2017.  Interest-earning assets averaged $2.075 billion during 2018, increasing $151.3 million compared to 2017.  The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 7.1% from $1.449 billion in 2017 to $1.553 billion in 2018.  

The Company finances its earning assets with a combination of interest-bearing and interest-free funds.  The interest-bearing funds are composed of deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt.  Interest paid for the use of these funds is the second factor in the net interest income equation.  Interest-free funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, require no interest expense and, therefore, contribute significantly to net interest income.

The profit margin, or spread, on invested funds is a key performance measure.  The Company monitors two key performance indicators - net interest spread and net interest margin.  The net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The net interest spread in 2018 was 3.66%, decreasing from 3.88% in 2017.  The net interest margin represents the overall profit margin – net interest income as a percentage of total interest-earning assets.  This performance indicator gives effect to interest earned for all investable funds including the substantial volume of interest-free funds.  For 2018, the net interest margin, measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased to 3.87%, compared to 3.99% in 2017.  The net interest margin, excluding the impact of amortization and accretion from acquisitions, decreased 13 basis point to 3.83% for the year ended December 31, 2018.  The accretion added $69.5 thousand per month during 2018 and will continue over the next several years.

31

The decrease in net interest margin is mainly due to pressure on increasing deposit rates as the Federal Reserve Bank continued to raise the federal funds interest rate in 2018.  The federal funds interest rate increased 4 times for a total of 100 basis points during the year.  Total taxable equivalent interest income was $93.6 million for 2018, which is $9.9 million more than the $83.7 million reported in 2017.  In comparing the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017, yields on earning assets increased 16 basis points while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 38 basis points.  Average loans increased $139.0 million, or 9.3%, in 2018, and the loan yield increased eighteen basis points to 4.91%.  Tax equated income from securities, federal funds and other increased $296 thousand, or 2.3%, in 2018. Farmers saw its yields on these assets decrease slightly from 3.05% in 2017 to 3.04% in 2018 and the average balance of investment securities and federal funds sold also increased from $429.6 million in 2017 to $442.0 million in 2018.

The increase in the federal funds interest rate as mentioned above impacted the cost of short-term borrowings and interest-bearing deposits during 2018.  Total interest expense amounted to $13.3 million for 2018, a 92.8% increase from $6.9 million reported in 2017.  Interest-bearing deposits increased $96.4 million or 8.2% and increases in interest rates paid on deposits resulted in a $3.6 million or 81.3% increase in interest expense on deposit balances.  Other borrowings balances increased only $6.9 million or 2.5%, however the interest expense related to these borrowings increased $2.7 million or 114%.  The total cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings increased from 0.47% in 2017 to 0.85% in 2018.

Management will continue to evaluate future changes in interest rates and the shape of the treasury yield curve so that assets and liabilities may be priced accordingly to minimize the impact on the net interest margin.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income increased by $1.4 million or 6% in 2018.  The increase in noninterest income is due to several factors.  Trust fee income increased from $6.4 million to $7.1 million, representing an increase of $695 thousand or 10.8%, resulting from growth in new customers and an increase in market value of trust assets.  Commissions from the sale of investment products increased $184 thousand or 20% during 2018.  Debit card interchange fees increased $262 thousand or 8.5% as customers continue to increase their use of debit cards to make purchases of goods and services.  Insurance agency commissions also increased to $2.6 million compared to $2.4 million in 2017 and service charges on deposit accounts increased from $4.1 million in 2017 to $4.3 million in 2018.  These increases were offset by a decrease in income from the sale of mortgage loans of $337 thousand and a decrease in retirement plan consulting fees of $173 thousand.  The Bank and the Company expect noninterest income to increase during 2019 as management continues to focus on growing the various sources of noninterest income.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expense for 2018 was $62.7 million, compared to $61.6 million in 2017, representing an increase of $1.1 million, or 1.8%.  Most of the increase was from salaries and employee benefits, which grew $1.2 million or 3.5%, mainly due to merit increases in salaries and a 1.8% increase the number of full time equivalent employees from 445 to 453.  Other operating expenses increased by $309 thousand or 4.2%, and state and local taxes increased by $224 thousand or 13.5%.  These increases were offset by a drop in merger related expenses of $1 million.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, noninterest expenses measured as a percentage of average assets decreased from 2.93% in 2017 to 2.82% in 2018.

The Company’s tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018 was 57.93%, compared to 59.66% for the same period in 2017.  The main factors leading to the improvement in the efficiency ratio was the increase in net interest income and noninterest income, along with the stabilized level of noninterest expenses relative to average assets as explained in the preceding paragraph.  The efficiency ratio is calculated as follows: non-interest expense divided by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding security gains and losses and intangible amortization.  This ratio is a measure of the expense incurred to generate a dollar of revenue.  Management will continue to closely monitor and keep the increases in other expenses to a minimum.

32

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $5.7 million for 2018 and $10.1 million in 2017.  Income taxes are computed using the appropriate effective tax rates for each period.  The decrease in the current year tax expense is primarily attributable to the previously mentioned reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The income tax expense of $10.1 million in 2017 was also impacted by the $1.8 million adjustment increase to income tax expense as a result of the write-down of the Company’s deferred tax asset from 35% to 21%.  The effective tax rates are less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to nontaxable interest and dividend income.  The effective income tax rate was 14.9% for 2018 and 30.7% for 2017.  We anticipate that the effective rate in 2019 will be in the range of 15% to 16%.  Refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the effective tax rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The Company’s net income totaled $22.7 million during 2017, compared to $20.6 million for 2016. On a per share basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.82 as compared to $0.76 diluted earnings per share for 2016.  Excluding a $1.8 million adjustment of the net deferred tax asset resulting from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act that became law in December 2017 and $524 thousand in expenses related to acquisition activities, net income for 2017 would have been $24.8 million, or $0.90 per share.  Common comparative ratios for results of operations include the return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity.  For 2017, the return on average equity was 9.92%, compared to 9.72% for 2016. The return on average assets was 1.09% for 2017 and 1.07% for 2016.   Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, the return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity for 2017 would have been 1.19% and 10.83% in 2017, while the return on average tangible equity would have been 13.48%.

Net Interest Income

For 2017, taxable equivalent net interest income increased $6.1 million, or 8.7%, from 2016. Interest-earning assets averaged $1.9 billion during 2017, increasing $162 million compared to 2016.  The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 7.3% from $1.35 billion in 2016 to $1.45 billion in 2017.  The previously mentioned acquisition of Monitor increased interest-earning assets by $38.1 million and interest-bearing liabilities by $17.8 million at the completion date.

Total taxable equivalent interest income was $83.7 million for 2017, which is $8.6 million more than the $75.1 million reported in 2016.  In comparing the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, yields on earning assets increased 9 basis points while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 15 basis points.  Average loans increased $149.2 million, or 11.1%, in 2017, and the loan yield decreased one basis point to 4.73%.  Tax equated income from securities, federal funds and other increased $1.8 million, or 15.9%, in 2017.  Farmers saw its yields on these assets increase slightly from 2.72% in 2016 to 3.05% in 2017.  The average balance of investment securities and federal funds sold also increased from $416.8 million in 2016 to $429.6 million in 2017.

Total interest expense amounted to $6.9 million for 2017, a 57.2% increase from $4.4 million reported in 2016.  The increase in 2017 is the result of a $49.1 million or 4.4% increase in interest-bearing deposits and a $49.1 million or 21.2% increase in other borrowings.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.32% in 2016 to 0.47% in 2017.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income increased by $807 thousand or 3.5% in 2017.  The increase in noninterest income is due to several factors.  Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased from $2.8 million to $3.1 million, representing an increase of $300 thousand or 8%.  Insurance agency commissions also increased to $2.4 million compared to $1.6 million in 2016 and service charges on deposit accounts increased from $4.0 million in 2016 to $4.1 million in 2017, reflecting the size of the company after previous bank acquisitions.  Debit card interchange fees also increased $430 thousand or 16.1%.  These increases were offset by a decrease in other operating income of $478 thousand and a decrease in investment commissions of $291 thousand.  

33

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expense for 2017 was $61.6 million, compared to $59.5 million in 2016, representing an increase of $2.1 million, or 3.6%.  Most of the increase was from salaries and employee benefits, which increased $2.9 million or 8.9%, mainly due to an increase in salaries, as the acquisition of Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (Bowers) was completed on June 1, 2016 which resulted in seven months of expense in 2016 compared to a full year in 2017.  The Company also experienced an increase in employee health care insurance expense in 2017.  The Company’s full time equivalent employees (“FTE”) increased by 1.0% from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.  Other operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million as a result of increased efficiencies gained as the Company grew in 2017.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, noninterest expenses measured as a percentage of average assets decreased from 3.06% in 2016 to 2.93% in 2017.

The Company’s tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2017 was 59.66%, compared to 61.59% for the same period in 2016.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, the efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2017 improved to 58.79% compared to 60.99% in 2016.  The main factors leading to the improvement in the efficiency ratio was the increase in net interest income and noninterest income, along with the stabilized level of noninterest expenses relative to average assets as explained in the preceding paragraph.  The efficiency ratio is calculated as follows: non-interest expense divided by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding security gains and losses and intangible amortization.  This ratio is a measure of the expense incurred to generate a dollar of revenue.  Management will continue to closely monitor and keep the increases in other expenses to a minimum.  

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $10.1 million for 2017 and $7.5 million in 2016.  The increase in the current year tax expense can be mainly attributed to the 16.9% increase in income before taxes.  The previously mentioned Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also added $1.8 million to 2017’s income tax expense as a result of the write-down of the Company’s deferred tax asset from 35% to 21%.  The effective tax rates are less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to nontaxable interest and dividend income.  The effective income tax rate was 30.7% for 2017 and 26.7% for 2016.

Liquidity

Farmers maintains, in the opinion of management, liquidity sufficient to satisfy depositors’ requirements and meet the credit needs of customers.  The Company depends on its ability to maintain its market share of deposits as well as acquiring new funds.  The Company’s ability to attract deposits and borrow funds depends in large measure on its profitability, capitalization and overall financial condition.

Principal sources of liquidity include assets considered relatively liquid, such as short-term investment securities, federal funds sold and cash and due from banks.

Along with its liquid assets, Farmers has additional sources of liquidity available which help to insure that adequate funds are available as needed.  These other sources include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds and borrowings on approved lines of credit at two major domestic banks.  At December 31, 2018, Farmers had not borrowed against these lines of credit.  Management feels that its liquidity position is more than adequate and will continue to monitor the position on a monthly basis.  The Company also has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, as well as access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, which provides an additional source of funds.  The Company views its membership in the FHLB as a solid source of liquidity.  As of December 31, 2018, the Bank is eligible to borrow an additional $309 million from the FHLB under various fixed rate and variable rate credit facilities.  Advances outstanding from the FHLB at December 31, 2018 amounted to $243.8 million.

Farmers’ primary investing activities are originating loans and purchasing securities.  During 2018, net cash used by investing activities amounted to $180.5 million, compared to $137.1 million used in 2017.  Net increases in loans were $160.2 million in 2018, compared to $132.3 million in 2017.  The cash used by lending activities during 2017 can be attributed to the activity in the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, residential real estate, and agricultural loan portfolios.  Purchases of securities available for sale were $70.9 million in 2018, compared to $114.6 million in 2017, and proceeds from maturities and sales of securities available for sale were $53.3 million in 2018, compared to $97.6 million in 2017.  Net cash of $16.3 million was received as a result of the acquisition of Monitor in 2017.

34

Farmers’ primary financing activities are obtaining deposits, repurchase agreements and other borrowings.  Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $140.9 million for 2018, compared to $122.4 million in 2017.  The majority of this increase can be attributed to the net change in deposits.  The increase in deposits was $195 million in 2018 compared to an increase of $45.4 million in 2017.  Short-term borrowings decreased $44.8 million in 2018 compared to an increase of $91.1 million in 2018.  The decrease in short-term borrowings is mainly a result of the growth in deposit balances, which allowed the Company to pay down short-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances during the year.

The following schedule sets forth maturities based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal for commercial and commercial real estate loans listed above as of December 31, 2018:

Types of Loans	1 Year or less		1 to 5 Years		Over 5 Years
Commercial	$	58,805	$	122,477	$	63,460
Commercial Real Estate	$	17,490	$	133,792	$	426,899
Agricultural	$	18,369	$	28,335	$	152,285

The amounts of commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans as of December 31, 2018, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, are shown in the following table:

Loan Sensitivities	1 Year or less		Over 1 Year		Total
Floating or Adjustable Rates of Interest	$	68,989	$	593,881	$	662,870
Fixed Rates of Interest		25,675		333,367		359,042
Total Loans	$	94,664	$	927,248	$	1,021,912

Total loans were $1.7 billion at year-end 2018, compared to $1.6 billion at year-end 2017.  Loans grew 10% organically during the past twelve months.  The organic increase in loans is a direct result of Farmers’ focus on loan growth utilizing a talented lending and credit team, while adhering to a sound underwriting discipline.  Most of the increase in loans has occurred in the commercial real estate, agricultural, residential real estate and commercial loan portfolios.  Loans comprised 78.7% of the Bank’s average earning assets in 2018, compared to 77.7% in 2017.  The Company has also experienced growth in its originated loans portfolio as a result of loans previously acquired from earlier bank mergers being renewed and recorded into the originated book.  The product mix in the loan portfolio includes commercial loans comprising 14.1%, residential real estate loans 28.4%, commercial real estate loans 33.3%, consumer loans 12.8% and agricultural loans 11.4% at December 31, 2018, compared with 13.9%, 29.7%, 32.5%, 13.5% and 10.4%, respectively, at December 31, 2017.

35

Loans contributed 85.7% of total taxable equivalent interest income in 2018 and 84.3% in 2017.  Loan yields were 4.91% in 2018, 40 basis points greater than the average rate for total earning assets.  Management recognizes that while the loan portfolio holds some of the Bank’s’ highest yielding assets, it is inherently the most risky portfolio.  Accordingly, management attempts to balance credit risk versus return with conservative credit standards. Management has developed and maintains comprehensive underwriting guidelines and a loan review function that monitors credits during and after the approval process.  To minimize risks associated with changes in the borrower’s future repayment capacity, the Bank generally requires scheduled periodic principal and interest payments on all types of loans and normally requires collateral. Commercial loans at December 31, 2018 increased 11.3% from year-end 2017 with outstanding balances of $244.7 million.  The Bank’s commercial loans are granted to customers within the immediate trade area of the Bank.  The mix is diverse, covering a wide range of borrowers, business types and local municipalities.  The Bank monitors and controls concentrations within a particular industry or segment of the economy.  These loans are made for purposes such as equipment purchases, capital and leasehold improvements, the purchase of inventory, general working capital and small business lines of credit.

Residential real estate mortgage loans increased 5% to $492.1 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $468.9 million in 2017.  Farmers originated both fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages during 2018.  Fixed rate terms are generally limited to fifteen-year terms while adjustable rate products are offered with maturities up to thirty years.

Commercial real estate loans increased from $512.5 million at December 31, 2017 to $578.2 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $65.7 million or 12.8%.  The Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio includes loans for owner occupied and non-owner occupied real estate.  These loans are made to finance properties such as office and industrial buildings, hotels and retail shopping centers.

The growth in the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios was consistent with the improvements in the local economy.  Several new projects announced in the Company’s market area, along with relatively decreased levels of unemployment have led small business owners to expand or make additional investments in their operations.

Agricultural loans increased from $163.1 million in 2017 to $199.0 million in 2018, an increase of $35.9 million or 22%.  The Company’s agricultural loan portfolio contains a diverse mix of dairy, crops, land, poultry and cattle loans.

The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Years Ended December 31,	2018			2017			2016			2015			2014

Provision For Loan Losses		3,000			3,350			3,870			3,510			1,880
Balance at End of Year	$	13,592		$	12,315		$	10,852		$	8,978		$	7,632
Ratio of Net Charge-offs to Average    Loans Outstanding		0.10	%		0.13	%		0.15	%		0.22	%		0.28	%
Allowance for Loan Losses/Total Loans		0.78			0.78			0.76			0.69			1.15

Provisions charged to operations amounted to $3 million in 2018, compared to $3.4 million in 2017, a decrease of $350 thousand.  This decrease is primarily due to the lower level of net charge-offs as a percentage of loans outstanding in 2018.  Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1.7 million, $164 thousand or 8.7% less than net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans remained at 0.78% at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  When the acquired loans from previous mergers are excluded the ratio is 0.92% at December 31, 2018 and 0.97% at December 31, 2017, and compares similarly with the periods prior to 2016 presented in the above table. Additionally, when loans collectively evaluated for impairment, which excludes acquired loans, are compared to the allowance for loan losses for loans collectively evaluated for impairment the ratio is 0.96% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 0.97% for the year ended December 31, 2017.  Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased slightly from 0.49% at December 31, 2017 to 0.45% at December 31, 2018.  In determining the estimate of the allowance for loan losses, management computes the historical loss percentage based upon the loss history of the past 12 quarters.  The Company believes that using a loss history of the previous 12 quarters helps mitigate volatility in the timing of charge-offs and better reflects probable incurred losses.

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on management’s judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectability of the existing loan portfolio.  Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors.  Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts charged to operating expenses include previous charge-off experience, the status of past due interest and principal payments, the quality of financial information supplied by loan customers and the general condition of the industries in the community to which loans have been made.

The allowance for loan losses increased $1.3 million during the year.  Aside from the various credit quality metrics discussed above, another reason for the increase in the current year allowance for loan losses was an increase in the size of the loan portfolio.  Loan growth in 2018 amounted to 10%.  

37

At December 31, 2018, commercial loans collectively evaluated for impairment totaled $264.2 million with an allowance allocation of $2.1 million compared to commercial loans collectively evaluated for impairment of $225.3 million with an allowance for loan losses of $2.0 million at December 31, 2017.  The commercial loan portfolio experienced a provision of $112 thousand, compared to a $446 thousand provision in 2017.  Impaired loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated disposition costs, if repayment of the loan is expected to be solely dependent on the sale of the collateral.  Otherwise, impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected cash flows.

Typically, commercial and commercial real estate loans are identified as impaired when they become ninety days past due, or earlier if management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due under the terms of the loan agreement.  When Farmers identifies a loan as impaired and concludes that the loan is collateral dependent, Farmers performs an internal collateral valuation as an interim measure.  Farmers typically obtains an external appraisal to validate its internal collateral valuation as soon as is practical and adjusts the associated specific loss reserve, if necessary.  

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at December 31, 2018 improved to 175.81%, compared to 160.04% at December 31, 2017.  Increases in nonaccrual loans in the residential real estate loan and agricultural loan portfolios were offset by decreases in the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios.  The balance in the allowance for loan losses increased in 2018, with the increased loan portfolio size, to $13.6 million compared to $12.3 million in 2017.

Percentage of Loans Delinquent 30-89 days to    Total Loans		0.51	%		0.65	%		0.89	%		0.70	%		0.82	%

The Company has forgone interest income of approximately $440 thousand from nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2018 that would have been earned, over the life of the loans, if all loans had performed in accordance with their original terms.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding decreased from 0.13% for 2017 to 0.10% for 2018 as a result of the larger loan portfolio and improved loan quality.  Net charge-offs decreased from $1.9 million in 2017 to $1.7 million in 2018.  An increase in gross charge-offs was experienced in the residential real estate loan portfolios of $156 thousand, but that was offset by decreases in the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and consumer loan portfolios of $207 thousand, $155 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses for the past five years:

December 31,	2018					2017					2016					2015					2014
			Loansto					Loans to					Loans to					Loans to					Loans to
	Amount		Total Loans			Amount		Total Loans			Amount		Total Loans			Amount		Total Loans			Amount		Total Loans
Commercial Real Estate	$	5,036		42.1	%	$	4,260		40.0	%	$	3,577		37.4	%	$	3,127		37.5	%	$	2,676		33.5	%
Commercial		2,093		16.8			2,011		16.8			1,874		17.2			1,373		17.8			1,420		18.1
Residential Real Estate		2,837		28.3			2,521		29.7			2,205		30.1			1,845		30.4			1,689		27.7
Consumer		2,963		12.8			2,848		13.5			2,766		15.3			2,160		14.3			1,663		20.7

The allowance allocated to each of the four loan categories should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in 2018 occurred in the same proportions or that the allocation indicates future charge-off trends.  The allowance allocated to the one-to-four family real estate loan category and the consumer loan category is based upon the Company’s allowance methodology for homogeneous loans, and increases and decreases in the balances of those portfolios.  In previous years, the indirect installment loan category has represented the largest percentage of loan losses.  The consumer loan category represents approximately 12.8% of total loans and in 2018, the gross charge-offs accounted for 81.2% of the losses of the entire loan portfolio.  For the commercial loan category, which represents 16.8% of the total loan portfolio, management relies on the Bank’s internal loan review procedures and allocates accordingly based on loan classifications.  The gross charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio, was $220 thousand for 2018.

There were no loans other than those identified above, that management has known information about possible credit problems of borrowers and their ability to comply with the loan repayment terms.  Management is actively monitoring certain borrowers’ financial condition and loans which management wants to more closely monitor due to special circumstances.  These loans and their potential loss exposure have been considered in management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan Commitments and Lines of Credit

In the normal course of business, the Bank has extended various commitments for credit. Commitments for mortgages, revolving lines of credit and letters of credit generally are extended for a period of one month up to one year.  Normally, no fees are charged on any unused portion, but an annual fee of two percent is charged for the issuance of a letter of credit.

As of December 31, 2018, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not disclosed as a category of loans.  As of that date, there were also no other interest-earning assets that are either nonaccrual, past due, restructured or non-performing.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio increased $10.8 million in 2018.  This increase is a result of asset growth in 2018 and maintaining the security portfolio at a constant level, as a percentage of total assets.  The Company’s investment strategy is to maintain a diverse investment security portfolio with a higher concentration in tax-free municipal securities and mortgage-backed securities that are issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.  Farmers sold $16.2 million in securities in 2018, resulting in net security gains of $271 thousand.  Farmers recognized market appreciation on faster paying mortgage-backed securities and recognized losses on lower rated municipal securities, and reinvested in new mortgage-backed securities and higher rated municipal securities to further diversify the securities portfolio. During 2014, the Company created the Investment subsidiary to hold municipal securities and take advantage of more favorable tax treatment.  At December 31, 2018, the Investment entity had a balance of $97.4 million in general market municipal securities.

39

Farmers’ objective in managing the investment portfolio is to preserve and enhance corporate liquidity through investment in primarily short and intermediate term securities which are readily marketable and of the highest credit quality.  In general, investment in securities is limited to those funds the Bank feels it has in excess of funds used to satisfy loan demand and operating considerations.

The Volcker Rule places limits on the trading activity of insured depository institutions and entities affiliated with a depository institution, subject to certain exceptions.  The Bank does not engage in any of the trading activities or own any of the types of funds regulated by the Volcker Rule.

Mortgage-backed securities are created by the pooling of mortgages and issuance of a security.  Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages.  Prepayment estimates for mortgage-backed securities are performed at purchase to ensure that prepayment assumptions are reasonable considering the underlying collateral for the mortgage-backed securities at issue and current mortgage interest rates and to determine the yield and estimated maturity of the mortgage-backed security portfolio.  Prepayments that are faster than anticipated may shorten the life of the security and may result in faster amortization of any premiums paid and thereby reduce the net yield on such securities.  During periods of increasing mortgage interest rates, refinancing generally slows as do the prepayments of the underlying mortgages and the related security.  All holdings of mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.

The following table shows the carrying value of investment securities by type of obligation at the dates indicated:

(2) Payments based on contractual maturity.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment had a net decrease of $1.1 million in 2018 as a result of depreciation of $1.5 million.  This was offset by new additions of premises and equipment amounting to $450 thousand.

Deposits represent the Company’s principal source of funds.  The deposit base consists of demand deposits, savings, money market accounts and other time deposits, including $25 million in brokered time deposits which were added for the first time in 2018.  During the year, the Company’s average total deposits increased from $1.559 billion in 2017 to $1.681 billion in 2018, representing an increase of 7.8%.  Noninterest demand deposits increased $25.7 million in 2018.  Average interest bearing demand deposits increased $101.0 million, which was offset by a decrease in savings deposits of $55.8 million since December 31, 2017.  With interest rates increasing during 2018, customers had more incentive to commit funds to term deposit accounts.  Average time deposits increased $51.1 million in 2018.  The Company’s focus is on core deposit growth and Farmers will continue to price deposit rates to remain competitive within the market and to retain customers.  At December 31, 2018, core deposits – savings and money market accounts, time deposits less than $250 thousand, demand deposits and interest bearing demand deposits represented approximately 93.8% of total deposits.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Farmers’ owns bank owned life insurance policies on the lives of certain members of management.  The purpose of this investment is to help fund the costs of employee benefit plans.  The cash surrender value of these policies was $34.8 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $33.9 million at December 31, 2017.

Borrowings

Average short-term borrowings decreased $44.8 million or 15.5% since December 31, 2017 as a result of loan growth outpacing deposit growth in 2018.  The decrease was a result of the nearly $70 million of securities sold under repurchase agreements converting to interest bearing checking accounts.  This was offset by the $25 million increase in short-term Federal Home Loan Advances (“FHLB”).  Average Long-term borrowings decreased $1.0 million as maturing FHLB advances were refinanced with short-term advances to capitalize on the favorable interest rates.  See Note 11 and 12 within Item 8 of this Annual report on Form 10-K for additional detail.

42

At December 31, 2018, the Company did not engage in derivatives or hedging contracts that may expose the Company to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.  Management’s policy is to not engage in derivatives contracts for speculative trading purposes.  The Company does utilize interest-rate swaps as a way of helping manage interest rate risk and not as derivatives for trading purposes.  See Note 21 within Item 8 of this Annual report on Form 10-K for additional detail.

Capital Resources

Total Stockholders’ Equity increased 8.4% from $242.1 million at December 31, 2017 to $262.3 million in 2018.  The increase is due to the net income addition to retained earnings less the amount of dividends paid.  During the year, shareholders received a total of $0.30 per share cash dividends paid in the past four quarters, a 36.4% increase compared to the $0.22 cash dividend per share paid in 2017.  Book value increased 7.4% from $8.79 per share at December 31, 2017 to $9.44 per share at December 31, 2018.  The Company’s tangible book value also increased from $7.14 per share at December 31, 2017 to $7.86 per share at December 31, 2018, an increase of 10.1%.    

The Bank, as a national chartered bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the OCC.  The OCC must approve declaration of any dividends in excess of the sum of profits for the current year and retained net profits for the preceding two years (as defined).  Farmers and Farmers Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total “risk weighted” assets, as defined by the banking regulators.  At December 31, 2018, under the new minimum capital requirements associated with the Basel Committee on capital and liquidity regulation (Basel III), Farmers Bank and Farmers are required to have minimum capital ratios.  Actual and minimum ratios are detailed in Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Farmers Bank and Farmers had capital ratios above the minimum levels at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  At year-end 2018 and 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized Farmers Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

During 2013, the Federal banking regulators approved a final rule to implement revised capital adequacy standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and to address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The final rule strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, makes selected changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, and adjusts the prompt corrective action thresholds.  Community banking organizations, such as the Company and the Bank, became subject to the new rule on January 1, 2015 and certain provisions of the new rule will be phased in over the period of 2015 through 2019. The Bank has retained, through a one-time election, the prior treatment for most accumulated other comprehensive income, such that unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale that did not affect regulatory capital amounts and ratios.  As mentioned in the prior paragraph, the Bank falls within the new regulatory capital ratio guidelines.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company follows financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry.  Some of these accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies.  Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The Company has identified three accounting policies that are critical accounting policies and an understanding of these policies is necessary to understand the financial statements.  These policies relate to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, if there is any impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, and estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with any merger activity.  Additional information regarding these policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), Note 4 (Loans) and Note 2 (Business Combinations), and the section above captioned “Loan Portfolio.”  Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time.

Farmers maintains an allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is presented as a reserve against loans on the balance sheets.  Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses.  A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of adequacy of the allowance.  The provision for credit losses provides for probable losses on loans.

43

Estimating the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  The loan portfolio represents the largest asset category on the consolidated balance sheets.  Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers individually impaired loans, pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics and other environmental risk factors.

Pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics are assessed for probable losses.  Probable losses are estimated through application of historical loss experience.  Historical loss experience data used to establish loss estimates may not precisely correspond to the current portfolio.  As a result, the historical loss experience used in the allowance analysis may not be representative of actual unrealized losses inherent in the portfolio.

Management also evaluates the impact of environmental factors which pose additional risks that may not adequately be addressed in the analyses described above.  Such environmental factors could include: levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and impaired loans, charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures including those for underwriting, collection, charge-off and recovery; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry and geographic conditions; concentrations of credit such as, but not limited to, local industries, their employees and suppliers; or any other common risk factor that might affect loss experience across one or more components of the portfolio.  The determination of this component of the allowances requires considerable management judgment.  To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect earnings or financial position in future periods.  The “Loan Portfolio” section of this financial review includes a discussion of the factors driving changes in the allowance for loan losses during the current period.

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies.  U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill.  Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired.  The Company’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to provide quality, cost-effective services in a competitive marketplace.  The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted.  A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.  U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  The fair value of the goodwill is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for the subsidiaries and comparable industry information.  At December 31, 2018, on a consolidated basis, Farmers had intangibles of $5.8 million subject to amortization and $38.2 million of goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements discusses new accounting policies adopted by Farmers during 2018 and the expected impact of accounting policies recently issued or proposed but not yet required to be adopted.  To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affects financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable sections of this financial review and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Important considerations in asset/liability management are liquidity, the balance between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and the adequacy of capital.  Interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those which have yields on rates subject to change within a future time period due to maturity of the instrument or changes in market rates.  While liquidity management involves meeting the funds flow requirements of the Company, the management of interest rate sensitivity focuses on the structure of these assets and liabilities with respect to maturity and repricing characteristics.  Balancing interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities provides a means of tempering fluctuating interest rates and maintaining net interest margins through periods of changing interest rates.  The Company monitors interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to determine the overall interest rate position over various time frames.

The Company considers the primary market exposure to be interest rate risk.  Simulation analysis is used to monitor the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, and the effect of the change to net interest income.  The following table shows the effect on net interest income and the net present value of equity in the event of a sudden and sustained 300 basis point increase and 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates.  The assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates, expected changes in rates on interest bearing deposit accounts and loans, competition and various other factors that are difficult to accurately predict.

	2018			2017			ALCO
Changes In Interest Rate (basis points)	Result			Result			Guidelines
Net Interest Income Change
+300		1.8	%		-1.9	%		15	%
+200		1.6	%		-1.0	%		10	%
+100		0.9	%		-0.5	%		5	%
-100		-3.0	%		-3.3	%		5	%
Net Present Value Of Equity Change
+300		15.2	%		-7.5	%		20	%
+200		11.8	%		-3.7	%		15	%
+100		8.2	%		0.3	%		10	%
-100		-16.6	%		-7.2	%		10	%

It should be noted that at December 31, 2018, the change in the net present value of equity exceeded policy when the simulation model assumed a sudden decrease in rates of 100 basis points (1%).  This is primarily due to the positive impact on the fair value of assets not being as great as the negative impact on the fair value of certain liabilities.  Specifically, because core deposits typically bear relatively low interest rates, their fair value would be negatively impacted as the rates could not be adjusted by the full extent of the sudden decrease in rates.  Management will continue to monitor the policy exception and may consider changes to the asset/liability position in the future.  The remaining results of the simulations indicate that interest rate change results fall within internal limits established by the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  A report on interest rate risk is presented to the Board of Directors and the Asset/Liability Committee on a quarterly basis.  The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes, nor does it hold derivative financial instruments, and does not plan to purchase these instruments in the near future.

With the largest amount of interest sensitive assets and liabilities maturing within twelve months, the Company monitors this area most closely.  Early withdrawal of deposits, prepayments of loans and loan delinquencies are some of the factors that can impact actual results in comparison to our simulation analysis.  In addition, changes in rates on interest sensitive assets and liabilities may not be equal, which could result in a change in net interest margin.

Interest rate sensitivity management provides some degree of protection against net interest income volatility.  It is not possible or necessarily desirable to attempt to eliminate this risk completely by matching interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  Other factors, such as market demand, interest rate outlook, regulatory restraint and strategic planning also have an effect on the desired balance sheet structure.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Data.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Farmers National Banc Corp. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of; our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on that assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Crowe LLP has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, as stated in their report dated March 5, 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands except Per Share Data)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers National Banc Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Bank” or “Farmers Bank”), Farmers Trust Company (“Farmers Trust”), National Associates, Inc. (“NAI”) and Farmers National Captive, Inc. (“Captive”).  Captive was formed during 2016 and is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company.  The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s subsidiaries; Farmers National Insurance, LLC (“Farmers Insurance”) and Farmers of Canfield Investment Co. (“Farmers Investments”).  The Company acquired Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (“Monitor”), the holding company of Monitor Bank in 2017 and consolidated the activity within the Bank.  The Bank acquired Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Bowers”) and consolidated the activity of Bowers with Farmers Insurance during 2016, see Note 2.  Together all entities are referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations: The Company provides full banking services, including wealth management services and mortgage banking activity, through the Bank.  As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The primary area served by the Bank is the northeastern region of Ohio through thirty nine (39) locations and two-branch location in southwestern Pennsylvania.  The Company provides trust services through its Farmers Trust subsidiary, retirement consulting services through its NAI subsidiary and insurance services through the Bank’s Insurance subsidiary.  Farmers Trust has a state-chartered bank license to conduct trust business from the Ohio Department of Commerce – Division of Financial Institutions.  The primary purpose of Farmers Investments is to invest in municipal securities.  Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries.  Captive pools resources with thirteen similar insurance subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among the pool members and to provide insurance where not currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance market place.

Estimates: 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with other financial institutions and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.  Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions, short-term borrowings and other assets and liabilities.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income.  Prior to 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were classified as available for sale, carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard for Financial Instruments, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated.  Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.  Purchases are recorded on the trade date.

54

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with or without servicing rights released.  Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.  Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level yield method without anticipating prepayments.  Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection.  Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

For all classes of loans, when interest accruals are discontinued, interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.  Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans: The Company purchased loans that have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These loans were recorded at the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each loan, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.  The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded.

Over the life of the loan, expected cash flows continue to be estimated.  If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded as a provision for loan losses.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Derivatives: Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value.  The Company’s derivatives are interest-rate swap agreements, which are used as part of its asset and liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or balance sheet hedging purposes.  The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives.  Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported currently in earnings, as other noninterest income.

55

Concentration of Credit Risk: There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer.  However, most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within Northeastern Ohio.  Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy of a ninecounty area.  Loans secured by real estate represent 70.5% of the total portfolio and changes related to the real estate markets are monitored by management.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred loan losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.  The allowance is based on management’s judgment taking into consideration past loss experience, reviews of individual loans, current economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by management at the financial statement date.  While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, which may be material, if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the allowance.  If additions to the original estimate of the allowance for loan losses are deemed necessary, they will be reported in earnings in the period in which they become reasonably estimable and probable.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Acquired loans are individually evaluated and for those purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration, management evaluates each reviewed loan using an internal grading system with a grade assigned to each loan at the date of acquisition.  To the extent that any purchased loan is not specifically reviewed, such loan is assumed to have characteristics similar to the characteristics of the acquired portfolio of purchased loans.  The grade for each purchased loan without evidence of credit deterioration is reviewed subsequent to the date of acquisition any time a loan is renewed or extended or at any time information becomes available to the Company that provides material insight regarding the loan’s performance, the status of the borrower or the quality or value of the underlying collateral.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is not considered impaired and is not individually considered in the determination of the required allowance for loan losses.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is considered impaired and is considered in the determination of the required level of allowance.

In determining the day one fair values of purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition, management includes (i) no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses and (ii) an adjustment of the unpaid principal balance to reflect an appropriate market rate of interest, given the risk profile and grade assigned to each loan.  This adjustment is accreted into earnings as a yield adjustment, using the effective yield method, over the remaining life of each loan.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on the 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.  Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  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.

56

Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans over $750 thousand, individually or in the aggregate, 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.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.  Non-real estate secured consumer loans in bankruptcy where debt has not been reaffirmed are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated individually to ensure that accurate accounting treatment is in place.

The Company considers the guidance on troubled debt restructuring for individual consumer and residential loans when evaluating for impairment disclosure.  Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flow using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.  For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced for the most recent twelve quarters.  The formula for calculating the allowance for loan losses requires that the historical loss percentage be applied to homogeneous and all risk rated loans.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  The following portfolio segments have been identified:

Commercial Loans. Commercial credit is extended to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other projects.  The majority of these borrowers are customers doing business within our geographic regions.  These loans are generally underwritten individually and secured with the assets of the company and the personal guarantee of the business owners.  Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans.  These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and property type.

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of loans made directly to consumers and indirectly through automobile dealerships.  These loans have a specific matrix which consists of several factors including debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and relationship with the borrower.  Consumer lending uses risk-based pricing in the underwriting process.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential mortgage loans represent loans to consumers for the purchase or refinance of a residence.  These loans are generally financed up to 15 years and in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence.  Real estate market values at the time of origination directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in the event of default, subsequent changes in these values may impact the severity of losses.

Servicing Rights:When mortgage loans are sold and servicing rights are retained, the servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans.  Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.  The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data to validate the model results and assumptions.

57

All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non‑interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.  Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the assets compared to carrying amount.  Any impairment is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a grouping.  There was no valuation allowance impairment against servicing assets as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Servicing fee income is recorded when earned for servicing loans based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan.  The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.  Servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not considered significant for financial reporting.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.  These assets are recorded in other assets on the balance sheets as other real estate owned (“OREO”).  OREO totaled $0 at December 31, 2018 and $171 thousand at December 31, 2017.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Restricted Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.  Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts.  The Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Reserve Bank.  These stocks are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities included in other assets, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  Restricted stock totaled $11.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $10.5 million at December 31, 2017.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key officers.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from a business combination is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date.  Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment tests associated with the acquisition of the Farmers Trust, NAI, First National Bank of Orrville, 1st National Community Bank, Bowers and Monitor.  Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the balance sheet.  Core deposit intangible assets arising from bank acquisitions are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 7 to 8 years.  Non-compete contracts are amortized on a straight line basis, over the term of the agreements.  Customer relationship and trade name intangibles are amortized over a range of 13 to 15 years on an accelerated method.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

58

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant.  The market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used for restricted stock awards.  Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.  For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching and discretionary contributions.  Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Earnings per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock equity awards.  Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of the post-retirement health plan, which are recognized as separate components of equity, net of tax effects.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe there are any matters currently that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.  The Company had deposits with the FRB of $34.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $30.0 million at December 31, 2017.

Equity: Treasury stock is carried at cost.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank and Farmers Trust to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions as more fully disclosed in Note 7.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Operating Segments: Operations are managed and financial performance is primarily aggregated and reported in three lines of business, the Bank, Farmers Trust and Retirement Consulting segments.  The Company discloses segment information in Note 22.

Reclassification: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Newly Issued, Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards: During February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income(Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users.  However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected.  The standard takes effect for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.  The Company early adopted this ASU and the result was a reclass of $106 thousand from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017.

During April of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.  Under current U.S. GAAP, a premium is typically amortized to the maturity date when a callable debt security is purchased at a premium, even if the holder is certain the call will be exercised.  As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.  The new standard shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date to more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument.  The standard takes effect for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, under the new guidance, an entity is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The Company does not plan on early adoption of this ASU.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842): Leases.  The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to provide users with useful, transparent and complete information about leasing transactions.  ASU 2016-02 requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet to increase transparency and comparability among organizations.  Under the updated guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-to-use asset and a liability to make a lease payment and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019.  As disclosed in footnote 8, certain leases that the Company has in place require the capitalization of $3.6 million on the balance sheet as an asset and a related liability in the same amount with no income statement effect at January 1, 2019.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01: Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information.  ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01  include the following: 1) require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative

60

assessment to identify impairment; 3) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others.  The amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 which resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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.  Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The new guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2018.  Refer to the Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Note 5 for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for revenue sources within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.  Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses.  Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.  Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  The Company continues to accumulate historical credit information, has established an internal committee and has completed the set-up stage of the installation process of new software in preparation of parallel testing in the first quarter of 2019.  Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will happen on January 1, 2020.  Management has not determined the full impact the new standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During August of 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Monitor, the holding company of Monitor Bank.  The transaction involved both cash and 465,787 shares of stock totaling $7.5 million.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, common shareholders of Monitor were entitled to elect to receive consideration in cash or in common shares, without par value, of the Company, subject to an overall limitation of 85% of the Monitor common shares being exchanged for the Company’s common shares and 15% exchanged for cash.  The per share cash consideration of $769.38 was equal to Monitor’s March 31 tangible book value multiplied by 1.25.  Based on the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common shares for the 20 trading days ended August 11, 2017 of $14.04, the final stock exchange ratio was 54.80, resulting in an implied value per Monitor common share of $769.38.

Goodwill of $1.0 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The fair value of other intangible assets of $673 thousand is related to core deposits.

During June of 2016, the Bank completed the acquisition of Bowers, and merged all activity of Bowers with Farmers Insurance, the Bank’s wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary.  The Bowers group is engaged in selling insurance, including commercial, farm, home, and auto property/casualty insurance and will help to meet the needs of all the Company’s customers.  The transaction involved both cash and 123,280 shares of stock totaling $3.2 million, including up to $1.2 million of future payments, contingent upon Bowers meeting performance targets, with an estimated fair value at the acquisition date of $880 thousand. The first of three contingent payments were made during July 2017, totaling $316 thousand, which reduced the earnout payable to $564 thousand.  Subsequent to the first payment, management conducted two annual valuations of the contingent consideration and found it necessary to reduce the future payment liability associated with the remaining two payments down to $200 thousand at year end 2017 and $20 thousand at year end 2018.  The $364 thousand and $180 thousand were recorded as a reduction to acquisition related costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.  The Company conducts this valuation work annually.  The earnout calculation for the second of three contingent payments was completed during June of 2018 and determined that no payment was earned or due.   The acquisition is part of the Company’s plan to increase the levels of noninterest income and to complement the existing insurance services currently being offered.

Goodwill of $1.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The original fair value of other intangible assets of $1.6 million was related to client relationships, company name and noncompetition agreements.

The Company’s equity securities include local and regional bank holdings.  No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during 2017 or 2016.  If an other-than-temporary impairment were to occur, the amount of the impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it would be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  The previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 583 securities, 256 of which were in an unrealized loss position.  The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s holdings in securities issued by state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities - residential, collateralized mortgage obligations and Small Business Administration, as discussed below:

Securities issued by State and Political subdivisions

Unrealized losses on debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions have not been recognized into income.  At December 31, 2018 and 2017 all securities issued by state and political subdivisions have investment grade ratings and management does not have the intent and does not expect to be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.  The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

Mortgage-backed securities - residential

All of the Company’s holdings of mortgage-backed securities—residential at year end 2018 and 2017 were issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.  Unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities—residential have not been recognized into income.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities—residential and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Collateralized mortgage obligations

The Company’s portfolio includes collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.  The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality.  The Company does not have the intent to sell these collateralized mortgage obligations and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.  The Company monitors all securities to ensure adequate credit support and as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company believes there is no other-than-temporary impairment.

Small Business Administration

The Company’s holdings of Small Business Administration securities are issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  Unrealized losses on these Small Business Administration securities have not been recognized into income.  The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 and 2017 because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

Purchased credit impaired loans

As part of the NBOH acquisition in 2015 the Company acquired various loans that displayed evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and which was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected.  The carrying amounts and contractually required payments of these loans which are included in the loan balances above are summarized in the following tables:

	2018		2017
Commercial real estate
Owner occupied	$	0	$	670
Non-owner occupied		292		387
Commercial
Commercial and industrial		899		1,072
Total outstanding balance	$	1,191	$	2,129
Carrying amount, net of allowance of $0 in 2018 and 2017	$	903	$	1,733

Accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, is shown in the table below:

New loans purchased		0			0
Accretion of income		(77	)		(77	)
Ending balance	$	93		$	170

The key assumptions considered include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date.  Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and principal expected to be collected.  In reforecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.  There were no adjustments to forecasted cash flows that impacted the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Total troubled debt restructurings were $5.5 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.  The Company has allocated $72 thousand and $68 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

During the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.  The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; a permanent increase of the recorded investment in the loan due to a protective advance to pay delinquent real estate taxes or advance new monies; an extension of an interest only period; a deferral of principal payments; a capitalization of interest or a legal concession.

78

Troubled debt restructuring modifications involved a reduction of the notes stated interest rate in the range of 0.49% to 3.49%.  There were also extensions of the maturity dates on these and other troubled debt restructurings in the range of five months to 132 months.

The following tables present loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

There were tworesidential real estate loans for $146 thousand for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2018.  Both loans were past due at December 31, 2018.  There was no effect on the provision for loan losses as a result of this default during 2018.  A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

There were no loans for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2017.

There were two commercial real estate loans for $1.2 million, one residential real estate loan for $1 thousand and one home equity line of credit for $10 thousand modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification during the year ended December 31, 2016.  None of the loans were past due at December 31, 2016.  There was no effect of the provision for loan losses as a result of this default during 2016.

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 establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loan and commercial real estate relationships.  For relationships over $750 thousand management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt.  Management also affirms the risk ratings for the loans and leases in their respective portfolios on an annual basis.  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.  Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

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.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams under ASC 606 follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Management reviewed the deposit account agreements, and determined that the agreements can be terminated at any time by either the Bank or the account holder.  Transaction fees, such as balance transfers, wires and overdraft charges are settled the day the performance obligation is satisfied.  The Bank’s monthly service charges and maintenance fees are for services provided to the customer on a monthly basis are considered a series of services that have the same pattern of transfer each month.  The review of service charges assessed on deposit accounts, included the amount of variable consideration that is a part of the monthly charges.  It was found that the waiver of service charges due to insufficient funds and dormant account fees is immaterial and would not require a change in the accounting treatment for these fees under the new revenue standards.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Debit Card Interchange Fees – Customers and the Bank have an account agreement and maintain deposit balances with the Bank.  Customers use a bank issued debit card to purchase goods and services, and the Bank earns interchange fees on those transactions, typically a percentage of the sale amount of the transaction.  The Bank records the amount due when it receives the settlement from the payment network.  Payments from the payment network are received and recorded into income on a daily basis.  There are no contingent debit card interchange fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a clawback in future periods.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

84

Trust fees – Services provided to Farmers Trust customers are a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer each month.  Fees for trust accounts are billed and drafted from trust accounts monthly.  The Company records these fees on the income statement on a monthly basis.  Fees are assessed based on the total investable assets of the customer’s trust account.  A signed contract between the Company and the customer is maintained for all customer trust accounts with payment terms identified.  It is probable that the fees will be collectible as funds being managed are accessible by the asset manager.  Past history of trust fee income recorded by the Company indicates that it is highly unlikely that a significant reversal could occur.  There are no contingent incentive fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a clawback in future periods.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Insurance Agency Commissions – Insurance agency commissions are received from insurance carriers for the agency’s share of commissions from customer premium payments.  These commissions are recorded into income when checks are received from the insurance carriers, and there is no contingent portion associated with these commission checks.  There may be a short time-lag in recording revenue when cash is received instead of recording the revenue when the policy is signed by the customer, but the time lag is insignificant and does not impact the revenue recognition process.

Farmers Insurance also receives incentive checks from the insurance carriers for achieving specified levels of production with particular carriers.  These amounts are recorded into income when a check is received, and there are no contingent amounts associated with these payments that may be clawed back by the carrier in the future.  Similar to the monthly commissions explained in the preceding paragraph, there may be a short time-lag in recording incentive revenue on a cash basis as opposed to estimating the amount of incentive revenue expected to be earned, this does not materially impact the recognition of insurance revenue.  If there were any amounts that would need to be refunded for one specific Farmers Insurance customer, management believes the reversal would not be significant.

Other potential situations surrounding the recognition of Farmers Insurance revenue include the estimating potential refunds due to the likely cancellation of a percentage of customers cancelling their policies and recording revenue at the time of policy renewals.  Management concluded that since Farmers Insurance agency commissions represent only 2.2% of the Company’s total revenue, adjusting the current practice of recording insurance revenue for these situations would not have a material impact on the reporting of total revenue.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.  

Retirement Plan Consulting Fees – The fees earned from retirement plan consulting are generated by NAI.  Revenue is recognized based on the level of work performed for the client.  Any payments that are received for work to be performed in the future are recorded in a deferred revenue account, and recorded into income when the fees are earned.  Retirement plan consulting fees represent only 1.4% of the Company’s total revenue, and therefore management has concluded that any adjustment of revenue for one particular customer for a refund or any other reason would be insignificant and would not materially impact the Company’s total revenue.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.  

Investment Commissions – Investment commissions are earned through the sales of non-deposit investment products to customers of the Company.  The sales are conducted through a third-party broker-dealer.  When the commissions are received and recorded into income on the Bank’s income statement, there is no contingent portion that may need to be refunded back to Cetera.  Investment commissions represent only 1.0% of the Company’s total revenue, and therefore management has concluded that any adjustment of revenue for a particular customer for a refund or any other reason would be insignificant and would not materially impact the Company’s total revenue. Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Other – Income items included in “Other” are Bank owned life insurance income, security gains, net gains on the sale of loans and other operating income.  Any amounts within the scope of ASC 606 are deemed immaterial.

NOTE 6 – LOAN SERVICING

The Company began servicing loans upon the acquisition of First National Bank’s servicing portfolio in June 2015.  Mortgage loans serviced for others are not reported as assets.  The principal balances of these loans at year-end are as follows:

	2018		2017
Mortgage loan portfolio serviced for:
FHLMC	$	226,389	$	179,253

Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with serviced loans were $1.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2017. 

Mortgage servicing rights is recorded on the balance sheets as other assets.  Activity for mortgage servicing rights for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

	2018			2017			2016
Servicing rights:
Beginning balance	$	1,242		$	854		$	453

Amortization to expense		(401	)		(313	)		(210	)
Ending balance	$	1,468		$	1,242		$	854

There was no valuation allowance required for mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for 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 on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

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; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities

The Company uses a third party service to estimate fair value on available for sale securities on a monthly basis.  ASU 2016-01, which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2018, requires the use of exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.  The Company’s service provider is considered a leading evaluation pricing service for U.S. domestic fixed income securities and complies fully with ASU 2016-01’s exit pricing requirements.  They subscribe to multiple third-party pricing vendors, and supplement that information with matrix pricing methods.  The fair values for investment securities, which consist of equity securities that are recorded at fair market value to comply with ASU 2016-01, are determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1).  The equity securities change in fair market value is recorded in the income statements.  For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on quoted

86

prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices, which provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination.  Such inputs may include interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates.  Inputs used are derived principally from observable market data (Level 2).  For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).  The fair values of Level 3 investment securities are determined by using unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based on the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 the fair value of Level 3 investment securities was immaterial.

Derivative Instruments

The fair values of derivative instruments are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans

At the time loans are considered impaired, collateral dependent impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value and non-collateral dependent loans are valued based on discounted cash flows.  Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses.  For collateral dependent loans fair value is commonly 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 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.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.  Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair values are commonly 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 both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial and commercial real estate properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  Once received, a member of the Appraisal Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.  On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what adjustments should be made to appraisals to arrive at fair value.

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $1.1 million, with a valuation allowance of $227 thousand at December 31, 2018, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $180 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2018.  At December 31, 2017, impaired loans had a principal balance of $851 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $109 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value throughout the year resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $272 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2017.  At December 31, 2016, impaired loans had a principal balance of $727 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $173 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value throughout the year resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $139 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2016.  Excluded from the fair value of impaired loans, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, discussed above are $694 thousand and $763 thousand of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and measured using the present value of cash flows, which is not considered an exit price.

89

Impaired commercial real estate loans, both owner occupied and non-owner occupied are valued by independent external appraisals.  These external appraisals are prepared using the sales comparison approach and income approach valuation techniques.  Management makes subsequent unobservable adjustments to the impaired loan appraisals.  Impaired loans other than commercial real estate and other real estate owned are not considered material.

At December 31, 2018, other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a zero net carrying amount.  During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company did not have any write-downs related to other real estate owned. The Company had $23 thousand and $36 thousand related write downs during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The following table presents quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at year ended 2018 and 2017:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, not previously described, are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.  The Company has determined that cash on hand and non-interest bearing due from bank accounts are Level 1 whereas interest bearing federal funds sold and other are Level 2.

Restricted Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of restricted stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: Beginning January 1, 2018 the Company used a third party firm that uses cash flow analysis and current market interest rates along with adjustments for credit, liquidity and option risk to conform to the ASU 2016-01 exit price requirement.  At December 31, 2017, management used the discounted cash flow analysis and interest rates being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality to estimate fair market value.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon the average of binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

91

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value resulting in a Level l, Level 2 or Level 3 classification.  The classification is the result of the association with securities, loans and deposits.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits – interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts—are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification.  The carrying amounts of variable rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting Level 2 classification.  Fair value 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.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Long-term Borrowings: 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.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of commitments is not considered material.

NOTE 11 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

The Bank has short-term advances from the FHLB that had maturity dates of less than one year at the time of the advance. All balances are due within one year and can be renewed at the time of maturity.  FHLB advances are secured by pledgings described in the following Long-Term Borrowings footnote.  Balances at year end were as follows:

	2018					2017
			Weighted					Weighted
			Average					Average
	Amount		Rate			Amount		Rate
Repurchase advance with a rate of 1.42% to 2.45% at    December 31, 2018 and 2017	$	140,000		2.45	%	$	125,000		1.47	%
Fixed rate advances with a rate of 1.43% to 2.62% at    December 31, 2018 and 2017		100,000		2.54	%		90,000		1.45	%
Total advances	$	240,000		2.49	%	$	215,000		1.46	%

Securities sold under repurchase agreements are secured by the Bank’s holdings of debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies.  These pledged securities which are 105% of the repurchase agreement balances, had a carrying amount of $4.6 million and $77.9 million at year ended 2018 and 2017.

Repurchase agreements are financing arrangements that mature within 89 days and usually overnight. Under the agreements, customers agree to maintain funds on deposit with the Bank and in return acquire an interest in a pool of securities pledged as collateral against the funds. The securities are held in segregated safekeeping accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank, Farmers Trust and the FHLB. Information concerning securities sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized as follows:

	2018			2017			2016
Average balance during the year	$	51,694		$	82,627		$	84,368
Average interest rate during the year		0.67	%		0.13	%		0.07	%
Maximum month-end balance during the year	$	87,163		$	94,208		$	98,687
Weighted average year-end interest rate		0.67	%		0.14	%		0.08	%
Balance at year-end	$	4,409		$	74,215		$	78,110

94

The following table provides a disaggregation of the obligation by class of collateral pledged for short-term financing obtained through the sales of repurchase agreements:

	2018		2017
Overnight and continuous repurchase agreements
U.S. Treasury and U.S. government sponsored entities	$	332	$	4,811
State and political subdivisions		664		20,696
Mortgage-backed securities - residential		3,094		43,936
Collateralized mortgage obligations		319		4,772
Total borrowings	$	4,409	$	74,215

Management believes the risks associated with the agreements are minimal and in the case of collateral decline the Company has additional investment securities available to adequately pledge as guarantees for the repurchase agreements.

The Bank has access to lines of credit amounting to $35 million at two major domestic banks that are below prime rate. The lines and terms are periodically reviewed by the banks and are generally subject to withdrawal at their discretion.  There were no borrowings under these lines at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Farmers has two unsecured revolving lines of credit for $6.5 million. The lines can be renewed annually. The lines have interest rates of prime with floors of 3.5% and 4.5%. The outstanding balance on the two lines was $350 thousand at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  The interest rate on the outstanding balance at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 5.5% and 4.5%.

NOTE 12 – LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

At year end, long-term advances from the FHLB were as follows:

	2018					2017
			Weighted					Weighted
			Average					Average
	Amount		Rate			Amount		Rate
Fixed-rate constant payment advance, at 1.70% at    December 31, 2018 and 2017	$	3,775		1.70	%	$	4,785		1.70	%
Total advances	$	3,775		1.70	%	$	4,785		1.70	%

Long-term and short-term FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge of residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and multi-family loans totaling $552.6 million and $280.2 million at year end 2018 and 2017.  Based on this collateral, the Bank is eligible to borrow an additional $308.8 million at year end 2018.  Each advance is subject to a prepayment penalty if paid prior to its maturity date.

Scheduled payments of long-term FHLB advances are as follows:

Maturing in:
2019	$	996
2020		860
2021		792
2022		729

The Company added a special purpose entity to hold $2.1 million in Trust Preferred Debenture as part of the Tri-State acquisition in 2015. The debt has a floating rate that is determined quarterly based on the three-month LIBOR.  At December 31, 2018, the interest rate was 4.49%. These securities can be redeemed at any quarter-end.  Final maturity of the Trust Preferred Debenture is December 15, 2036. The balance of the outstanding Trust Preferred Debenture was $2.3 and $2.2 million at year end 2018 and 2017.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates.  Commitments may expire without being used.  Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated.  The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at year end were as follows:

	2018				2017
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
Commitments and unused lines of credit	$	86,952	$	287,551	$	74,119	$	265,260

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 30 days or less.  Commitments and fixed rate unused lines of credit have interest rates ranging from 2.99% to 16.00% at December 31, 2018 and 2017.    

Standby letters of credit are considered financial guarantees.  The standby letters of credit have a contractual value of $5.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2017.  The carrying amount of these items on the balance sheet is not material.

Additionally, the Company has committed up to a $8 million subscription in SBIC investment funds.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had invested $6.0 million in these funds.

NOTE 14 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

During 2017, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  The 2017 Plan permits the award of up to 800 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to attract and retain exceptional personnel, motivate performance and most importantly to help align the interests of Farmers’ executives with those of the Company’s shareholders. There were 25,729 service time based shares and 62,919 performance based shares granted under the 2017 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2018, as shown in the table below. The actual number of performance based stock awards issued will depend on certain performance conditions which are mainly average return on equity compared to a group of peer companies over a three year vesting period.

During 2012, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan permitted the award of up to 500 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to promote the Company’s long-term financial success by motivating performance through long-term incentive compensation and to better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.  There were no additional shares granted under the Plan during 2018.  Any new restricted stock awards will be issued under the 2017 Plan described above.

96

The restricted stock awards were granted with a fair value price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.Expense recognized was $1.7 million for 2018, $2.4 million for 2017 and $892 thousand for 2016.  As of December 31, 2018, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested shares granted under the Plan.  The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over2.20 years.

The following is the activity under the Plans during 2018:

	Maximum Awarded Service Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Maximum Awarded Performance Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Beginning balance - non-vested shares		323,331		$	9.20		266,515		$	9.43
Granted		25,729			14.83		62,919			14.31
Vested		(261,105	)		8.46		(63,873	)		7.76
Forfeited		0			0		(61,733	)		7.76
Ending balance - non-vested shares		87,955		$	13.04		203,828		$	11.96

The 324,978 shares that vested in 2018 had a weighted average fair value of $15.21 per share.

NOTE 15 – REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks and financial holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The new minimum capital requirements associated with the Basel Committee on capital and liquidity regulation (Basel III) was phased in beginning on January 1, 2015 and continued through January 1, 2019.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.  Management believes as of December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The FDIC and other federal banking regulators revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to financial holding companies and insured depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”).

The common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets.  The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets.

Basel III limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements.  The capital conservation buffer began the phase in January 1, 2016 and increased each year and was fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer was 1.875% during 2018 and was 1.25% during 2017.  The buffer required an additional capital amount of $34.4 million at year end 2018 and an additional $21.0 million at year end 2017.  Excluding the additional capital conservation buffer, Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, (ii) a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0% and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4.0%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  At year-end 2018 and 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

97

Dividend Restrictions: The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank, Farmers Trust and NAI.  The Bank and Farmers Trust are subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency and Ohio Department of Commerce – Division of Financial Institutions, respectively.  The respective regulatory agency must approve declaration of any dividends in excess of the sum of profits for the current year and retained net profits for the preceding two years.  During 2019, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $39.0 million plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.  In order to practice trust powers, Farmers Trust must maintain a minimum capital of $3 million.  Farmers Trust would also be able to, without prior approval, declare dividends of $603 thousand plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

Actual and required capital amounts (not including the capital conservation buffer) and ratios are presented below at year-end:

NOTE 16 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a qualified 401(k) deferred compensation Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”).  All employees of the Company who have completed at least 90 days of service and meet certain other eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan.  Under the terms of the Savings Plan, employees may voluntarily defer a portion of their annual compensation pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company matches a percentage of the participants’ voluntary contributions up to 6% of gross wages.  In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may make an additional profit sharing contribution to the Savings Plan.  Total expense was $573 thousand, $556 thousand and $506 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

During 2014, the Company adopted a profit sharing plan to provide associates not participating in a current incentive plan a vehicle for sharing in the success of the Company outside of existing wages and non-monetary benefits.  The Board of Directors approved a profit sharing amount equal to 1% of annual compensation for associates in 2018, 2017 and 2016.  The expense was $78 thousand, $105 thousand and $103 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain retirees.  Expense under this plan was $8 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017and $9 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2016. The liability under the deferred compensation plan at December 31, 2018 was $124 thousand and $133 thousand at December 31, 2017.

During 2015, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated eligible individuals.  Under the terms of the plan, eligible individuals may elect to defer receipt of their compensation to a later taxable year.  The Company has recorded both an asset and liability of equal amount that represents the amount of contributions and the payable due to the participants in the plan.  The recorded asset and liability was $753 thousand, $566 thousand and $345 thousand at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As part of the NBOH acquisition the Company has a director retirement and death benefit plan for the benefit of prior members of the Board of Directors of NBOH.  The plan is designed to provide an annual retirement benefit to be paid to each director upon retirement from the Board and attaining age 70.  There are no additional benefits or participants being added to the plan and the liability recorded at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $941 thousand and $1 million, respectively. The benefit payment upon satisfying the plan’s requirements is a benefit to the qualifying director until death or a maximum of 15 years.  A benefit was recognized under the plan of $19 thousand in 2018.  An expense under this plan of$91 thousand and $130 was recorded in 2017 and 2016, respectively.   

The Company assumed an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) as part of the Tri-State acquisition that covered substantially all of their employees and officers. The Company terminated this plan during 2017. The trustee had discretionary authority to purchase shares of common stock of Tri-State on the open market.  There were no contributions to the plan in 2018 or 2017.  During the acquisition, the Tri-State ESOP shares were converted to the Company’s shares and distributed to participants.  The trustee held no shares at December 31, 2018, and2017.

The Company had a postretirement health care benefit plan that covered individuals retired from the Company that met certain service and age requirements and certain other active employees that have met similar service requirements.  The Company terminated the plan during 2017.  A benefit was recognized under the plan of$70 thousand and $184 thousand at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Due to the termination of the plan the accrued postretirement benefit liability at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is$0.  Due to the immateriality of the plan, the disclosures required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.

At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded.  The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for years prior to 2015.  The tax years 2015—2018 remain open to examination by the U.S. taxing authority.

In December of 2017, H.R.1, commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), was signed into law.  The Act included several provisions that affected the Company’s federal income tax expense, which reduced the federal income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result of the rate reduction, the Company was required to re-measure, through income tax expense in the period of enactment, the deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted rate at which these items are expected to be recovered or settled.  The re-measurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset resulted in additional income tax expense of $1.8 million in 2017.

There were no restricted stock awards that were considered anti-dilutive at year end 2018, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 21 – INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Company uses a program that utilizes interest-rate swaps as part of its asset/liability management strategy.  The interest-rate swaps are used to help manage the Company’s interest rate risk position and not as derivatives for trading purposes.  The notional amount of the interest-rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties.  The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements.

The objective of the interest-rate swaps is to protect the related fixed rate commercial real estate loans from changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates.  The Company has a program whereby it lends to its borrowers at a fixed rate with the loan agreement containing a two-way yield maintenance provision, which will be invoked in the event of prepayment of the loan, and is expected to exactly offset the fair value of unwinding the swap.  The yield maintenance provision represents an embedded derivative which is bifurcated from the host loan contract and, as such, the swaps and embedded derivatives are not designated as hedges.  Accordingly, both instruments are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings.

Summary information about these interest-rate swaps as of year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

	2018			2017			2016
Notional amounts	$	35,996		$	38,481		$	34,360
Weighted average pay rate on interest-rate swaps		4.53	%		4.46	%		4.34	%
Weighted average receive rate on interest-rate swaps		4.78	%		3.81	%		3.04	%
Weighted average maturity (years)		4.4			3.2			4.8
Fair value of interest-rate swaps	$	(767	)	$	(653	)	$	(685	)
Fair value of loan yield maintenance provisions	$	767		$	653		$	685

The fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.  Changes in the fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps are reported in earnings, as other noninterest income in the consolidated income statements.  There were no net gains or losses recognized in earnings related to yield maintenance provisions for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 22 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking, trust and retirement consulting operations.  They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision makers in the Company, who use such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated.  Loans, investments and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation, trust service fees provide the revenue in trust operations and consulting fees provide the revenues in the retirement consulting operations.  All operations are domestic.

Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1.  Segment performance is evaluated using operating income.  Income taxes are calculated on operating income.  Transactions among segments are made at fair value.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On January 30, 2019, the Company engaged CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP (“CLA”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, upon the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors and the approval by the Board of Directors. The engagement of CLA resulted from a competitive request for proposal process undertaken by the Audit Committee pursuant to which the Audit Committee received proposals from CLA, Crowe LLP (“Crowe”), and one other independent registered public accounting firm.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the subsequent interim period through January 30, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with CLA regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided that CLA concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” as those terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions.

On January 29, 2019, the Company notified Crowe that it has been dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.  Crowe has served as the Company’s independent public accounting firm since 2003.  Crowe will continue to serve as the Company’s independent public accounting firm until the completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

107

Crowe’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the two most fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.  During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the subsequent interim period through January 30, 2019, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and Crowe on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe, would have caused Crowe to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.  

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the financial and nonfinancial information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  As disclosed in the Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders, management assessed the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in the 2013 “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and found it to be effective.

Crowe LLP, the Company’s registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  The audit report by Crowe is located in Item 8 of this report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Exhibit 10.20

Farmers National Banc Corp.

Second Amended and Restated Executive Separation Policy

Effective: June 1, 2017

1. Purpose

Farmers National Banc Corp. (the “Company”) seeks to attract and retain the most qualified and capable professionals to serve in key executive positions to maximize the value of the Company for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. To achieve this goal, the Company originally established this Executive Separation Policy effective November 7, 2013 (the “Original Effective Date”) and an Amended and Restated Executive Separation Policy effective June 23, 2015 (First Amended Policy) to provide such employees with certain types of financial security and sufficient incentives to accept and continue their executive employment.  This Second Amended and Restated Executive Separation Policy (this “Policy”) describes the separation pay and benefits that the Company will provide to Covered Executives (as defined below) if their employment with the Company terminates under certain circumstances.  The Company also seeks through this Policy to ensure that the separation process is handled professionally and efficiently.

2. Application to Covered Employees

A. This Policy applies to the Chief Executive Officer and President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Banking Officer, Chief Credit Officer, EVP-Wealth Management, and such other executive officers comprising the Company’s senior management team as may be designated annually by the Board of Directors (collectively, the “Covered Executives”).

B. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) may, from time to time, designate other persons holding other executive positions who are not members of the Company’s Senior Management Committee as Covered Executives under this Policy and the level of severance pay and benefits that such persons shall receive under this Policy.

3. Termination of Employment

The Company may terminate a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company, with or without Cause, and a Covered Executive may terminate his or her employment with the Company for or without Good Reason, subject, however, in each case, to the terms and conditions of any written employment agreement between the Covered Executive and the Company.

A. Termination by Company for Cause or by Covered Executive Without Good Reason

If the Company terminates a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company for Cause, or a Covered Executive terminates his or her employment with the Company without Good Reason, the Covered Executive will be entitled to: (1) all earned but unpaid compensation for time worked through the Termination Date, to be paid on the Payment Date; and (2) any rights and benefits (if any) provided under plans and programs of the Company, determined in accordance

with the applicable terms and provisions of such plans and programs, including, without limitation, earned but unused vacation (the payments described in this Section 3.A are collectively referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).  Other than payment of the Accrued Obligations, a Covered Executive whose employment with the Company terminates as described in this Section 3.A shall not be entitled to receive any other severance pay or benefits.  Nothing in the foregoing is intended to limit a Covered Executive’s ability to continue participating in the Company’s group health, dental and vision plans for the applicable COBRA continuation period, provided that the Covered Executive properly elects COBRA continuation coverage and pays the applicable COBRA premiums.

B. Termination by Company Without Cause or by Covered Executive for Good Reason

If the Company terminates a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, or a Covered Executive terminates his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason, the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy, provide the severance pay and benefits set forth below to the Covered Executive based on the Covered Executive’s position on the date of termination.

(1) If the Covered Executive is the Chief Executive Officer, the Covered Executive will receive the following severance pay and benefits:

(a) the Accrued Obligations;

(b) if the Covered Executive was employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date, a lump sum amount equal to 36 months of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), to be paid on the Payment Date; if the Covered Executive was not employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date, a lump sum amount equal to 24 months of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), to be paid on the Payment Date;

(c) a pro rata incentive bonus in a lump sum amount determined by multiplying the annual incentive that the Covered Executive would have earned under the Company’s annual incentive plan for the year in which the termination occurred, assuming that performance had been attained at the “target” level as based on a percentage of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the calendar year prior to the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365, to be paid on the Payment Date;

(d) a lump sum amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium payable by the Covered Executive to continue to receive health benefits at a

2

level similar to which the Covered Executive and his or her spouse and dependents, if any, were participating immediately prior to the termination, in order to continue to receive such benefits during the applicable COBRA coverage period, multiplied by (i) 36 if the Covered Executive was employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date, or (ii) 24 if the Covered Executive was not employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date; and

(e) a lump sum payment in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for reasonable outplacement services by a firm selected by the Company, for a period of such services lasting not longer than one (1) year after the Termination Date.

(2) If the Covered Executive is the EVP-Wealth Management, the Covered Executive will receive the following severance pay and benefits:

(a) the Accrued Obligations;

(b) if the Covered Executive was employed by the Company on the Effective Date of this Policy, a lump sum amount equal to 24 months of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), to be paid on the Payment Date; if the Covered Executive was not employed by the Company on the Effective Date of this Policy, a lump sum amount equal to 18 months of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), to be paid on the Payment Date;

(c) a pro rata incentive bonus in a lump sum amount determined by multiplying the annual incentive that the Covered Executive would have earned under the Company’s annual incentive plan for the year in which the termination occurred, assuming that performance had been attained at the “target” level as based on a percentage of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the calendar year prior to the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365, to be paid on the Payment Date;

(d) a lump sum amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium payable by the Covered Executive to continue to receive health benefits at a level similar to which the Covered Executive and his or her spouse and dependents, if any, were participating immediately prior to the termination, in order to continue to receive such benefits during the applicable COBRA coverage period, multiplied by (i) 27 if the Covered Executive was employed by the Company on the  Effective Date of this Policy, or (ii) 18 if the Covered Executive was not

3

employed by the Company on the Effective Date of this Policy; and

(e) a lump sum payment in an amount not to exceed $7,500 for reasonable outplacement services by a firm selected by the Company, for a period of such services lasting not longer than one (1) year after the Termination Date.

(c) a pro rata incentive bonus in a lump sum amount determined by multiplying the annual incentive that the Covered Executive would have earned under the Company’s annual incentive plan for the year in which the termination occurred, assuming that performance had been attained at the “target” level as based on a percentage of the Covered Executive’s then-current base salary (or, if greater, the base salary immediately prior to any reduction constituting Good Reason), by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the calendar year prior to the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365, to be paid on the Payment Date;

(d) a lump sum amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium payable by the Covered Executive to continue to receive health benefits at a level similar to which the Covered Executive and his or her spouse and dependents, if any, were participating immediately prior to the termination, in order to continue to receive such benefits during the applicable COBRA coverage period, multiplied by (i) 36 if the Covered Executive was employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date, or (ii) 18 if the Covered Executive was not employed by the Company on the Original Effective Date; and

(d) a lump sum amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium payable by the Covered Executive to continue to receive health benefits at a level similar to which the Covered Executive and his or her spouse and dependents, if any, were participating immediately prior to the termination, in order to continue to receive such benefits during the applicable COBRA coverage period, multiplied by 12; and

The Covered Executive’s execution prior to the first date that any payment (other than the Accrued Obligations) is to begin, of a valid, enforceable, full and unconditional release reasonably acceptable to the Company, generally in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, of all claims whether known or unknown that the Covered Executive may have against the Company, its officers, fiduciaries, directors, agents, and employees as of the Termination Date.

B. The Covered Executive agrees to the following:

(i) Non-Competition.For a period of 12 consecutive months after the Termination Date, the Covered Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, joint venturer, stockholder (excluding the ownership of publicly-traded securities where such ownership does not exceed 1% of such securities outstanding), employee, officer, director, agent, principal, trustee or in any other business capacity whatsoever, engage in, become financially interested in, become employed by, render any consulting or business advice with respect to, or have any other connection with, any person or business entity engaged in the same business as the Company or an affiliate in any county where the Company or an affiliate maintains a branch or loan production office at the time of termination of the Covered Executive’s employment.  

(ii) Non-Solicitation of Customers. For a period equal to the lesser of (a) 24, or (b) the number of months of the Covered Executive’s base salary used as a multiplier in Section B(1)(b), B(2)(b), or B(3)(b) as applicable, consecutive months after the Termination Date, the Covered Executive shall not, directly or indirectly solicit Business from any customers, clients or business patrons of the Company or an affiliate who were customers, clients or business patrons of the Company or an affiliate at the time of termination of the Covered Executive’s employment.

(iii) Non-Solicitation of Employees. For a period equal to the lesser of (a) 24, or (b) the number of months of the Covered Executive’s base salary used as a multiplier in Section B(1)(b), B(2)(b), or B(3)(b) as applicable, consecutive months after the Termination Date, the Covered Executive shall not, directly or indirectly employ or attempt to employ or solicit for employment any other individual who is employed by the Company or an affiliate at the time of termination of the Covered Executive’s employment.

(iv) Confidential Information. The Covered Executive shall not directly or indirectly communicate or divulge any Confidential Information relating to the Company or an affiliate to any other person or business entity.   All records, files, plans, documents and the like relating to the business of the

6

Company or an affiliate, including but not limited to Confidential Information which the Executive has or will prepare, use or come into contact with shall remain the sole property of the Company or an affiliate, shall not be copied without written permission, and shall be returned immediately to the Company or an affiliate upon the Covered Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or an affiliate, or at the request of the Company or an affiliate at any time. Further, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose to any other person or business entity any secret or Confidential Information of the Company or an affiliate without the prior written consent of an officer of the Company or an affiliate.  The Executive further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to protect against the negligent or inadvertent disclosure of the secret or Confidential Information of the Company or an affiliate to any other person or business entity. If the Executive improperly uses or discloses any secret or Confidential Information of the Company or an affiliate, the Executive understands that the Covered Executive’s employment will be subject to termination for Cause.  The Executive also recognizes that all writings, illustrations, drawings and other similar materials that embody or otherwise contain Confidential Information which the Executive may produce or which may be given to the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment, are the property of the Company or an affiliate and it shall be the Executive’s obligation to deliver the same to the Company or an affiliate upon request, and upon termination of the Covered Executive’s employment with the Company or an affiliate for any reason.

(v) Intellectual Property Rights.  The Covered Executive agrees and acknowledges that all Work Product shall be the sole, exclusive and absolute property of the Company or an affiliate. All such Work Product shall be deemed to be works for hire and the Executive assigns to the Company all rights, title and interest in, to and under such Work Product, including but not limited to, the right to obtain such patents, copyright registrations, trademark registrations or similar protections as the Company or an affiliate may desire to obtain.  The Executive shall immediately disclose all Work Product to the Company or an affiliate and agrees, at any time upon the Company’s or an affiliate’s request and without additional compensation, to execute any documents and to otherwise cooperate with the Company or an affiliate respecting the perfection of its rights, title and interest in, to and under such Work Product, and in any litigation or other controversy in connection therewith, all reasonable expenses incident thereto to be borne by the Company or an affiliate. For purposes of this Policy, “Work Product”means any procedure, design feature, schematic, invention, improvement, development, discovery, know how, concept, idea or the like (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or trademark laws, or otherwise protectable under similar laws) that the Executive may conceive of, suggest, make, invent, develop or implement during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company or an affiliate (whether individually or jointly with any other person), relating in

7

any way to the Business, and all physical embodiments and manifestations thereof, and all patent rights, copyrights, trademarks (or application therefore) and similar protections therein.

(vi) Non-disparagement. The Covered Executive agrees that he or she will not knowingly make any statement or take any action likely to disparage or have an adverse effect on the Company’s business reputation; provided, however, that such restriction will not prevent the Covered Executive from making any statement or taking any action that is required by law.

(vii) In the event of a breach by the Covered Executive of any covenant set forth in this Section 4(B), the term of such covenant will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach and such covenant will survive any termination of this Agreement but only for the limited period of such extension.  The restrictions provided in this Section 4(B) are in addition to any restrictions on competition or solicitation contained in any other agreement between the Company or an affiliate and the Executive.  The provisions of this Section 4(B) constitute an essential element of this Agreement, without which the Company would not have entered into this Agreement.  If the scope of any restriction contained in this Section 4(B) is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, then such restriction will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Executive hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

(viii) Notwithstanding any other remedy available, the restrictions described in this Section 4(B) may be enforced by the Company, an affiliate and/or any successor thereto, by an action to recover payments made under this Agreement, an action for injunction, and/or an action for damages.  In the event the Company or an affiliate obtains a permanent injunction against the Executive after notice and the opportunity to appear, the Executive shall be liable to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which the Company or an affiliate may incur in enforcing, to any extent, the provisions of this Agreement, whether or not litigation is actually commenced and including litigation of any appeal taken or defended by the Company or an affiliate in any action to enforce this Agreement and which affirms and/or results in a permanent injunction. Any proceedings brought to enforce Section 5 of this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of Mahoning County, Ohio and the Executive expressly waives any objection or defense relating to jurisdiction or forum non-conveniens or similar doctrine or theory. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5 shall be inadequate, and that the Company or an affiliate shall be entitled to injunctive relief without bond. Such injunctive relief shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company or an affiliate may have for any such breach. In addition to the injunctive remedies described herein, the

8

Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a final judicial determination against the Executive with respect to an actual or threatened breach by the Executive of this Section 5, the Company shall be entitled to withhold any remaining amounts payments payable under Section 3 of this Agreement.

C. After the Termination Date, the Covered Executive agrees to provide reasonable assistance and cooperation with the Company concerning business or legal related matters about which the Covered Executive possesses relevant knowledge or information. Such cooperation will be provided only at the Company’s specific request and will include, but not be limited to, assisting or advising the Company with respect to any business-related matters or any actual or threatened legal action (including testifying in depositions, hearings, and/or trials).  The Covered Executive will be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of providing assistance and cooperation, including, without limitation, reasonable travel and lodging expenses.

D. The Company’s obligation to provide separation pay and benefits under this Policy will cease immediately if the Company determines that Covered Executive failed to comply with any of the foregoing conditions, and the Covered Executive will be required to return to the Company (with ten (10) days after request by the Company) any amounts the Company has paid to the Covered Executive under this Policy other than the Accrued Obligations.

5. Section 409A

This Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or an exemption or exclusion therefrom, and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

Each payment under this Policy shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Covered Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Policy. If the Covered Executive dies following the Termination Date and prior to the payment of the any amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Covered Executive’s estate within 30 days after the date of the Covered Executive’s death.

All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Policy that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, that (i) in no event shall reimbursements by the Company under this Policy be made later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the applicable fees and expenses were incurred, provided, that the Covered Executive shall have submitted an invoice for such fees and expenses at least ten (10) days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses were incurred; (ii) the amount of in-kind benefits that the Company is obligated to pay or provide in any given calendar year shall not affect the in-kind benefits that the Company is obligated to pay or provide in any other calendar year; (iii) the Covered Executive’s right to have the Company pay or provide such reimbursements and in-kind

9

benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) in no event shall the Company’s obligations to make such reimbursements or to provide such in-kind benefits apply later than the periods described in this Policy. Within the time period permitted by the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Company may modify this Policy, in the least restrictive manner necessary and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Covered Executive, in order to cause the provisions of this Policy to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on the Covered Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, in the event that a Covered Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) of the Company, as determined pursuant to the Company’s policy for identifying specified employees, on the date of the Covered Executive’s termination of employment and the Covered Executive is entitled to a payment and/or a benefit under this Policy that is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such payment or benefit, as applicable, shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be paid or provided) until the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Covered Executive’s termination of employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Covered Executive’s death).  The first payment that can be made to the Covered Executive following such period shall include the cumulative amount of any payments or benefits that could not be paid or provided during such period due to the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.

6. Employment at Will

Nothing in this Policy is to be construed such that a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company is anything other than employment “at will”.

7. ERISA Provisions

This Policy is intended to be a plan whose participation is limited to a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 4(b)(5), 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  The claims procedure set forth in U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2560.503-1 are incorporated by reference into this Policy.

8. Governing Law

The rights and obligations of the Covered Executives and the Company under this Policy will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio without regard to choice of law principles and to the extent not preempted by ERISA.  

9.

10

Integration

This Policy supersedes and replaces the terms of any employment agreement, offer letter, or other agreement with the Company, including any agreement in respect of confidentiality, that governs the terms and conditions applicable to the Covered Executive’s separation from the Company and is in effect immediately prior to the Covered Executive’s termination of employment (“Alternative Agreement”) with respect to the payment of severance or benefits, to the extent that the Alternative Agreement provides for the payment of severance or benefits in an amount less than are payable under this Policy.  To the extent that a Covered Executive is entitled to payment of severance or benefits under an Alternative Agreement in an amount greater than are payable under this Policy, the amount of severance or benefits shall be determined under the Alternative Agreement and the Covered Executive shall not be entitled to any payments of severance or benefits under this Policy.  

For purposes of clarity, if a Covered Executive is or becomes a party to the Company’s Change in Control Agreement dated effective as of November 7, 2013 (or  a successor agreement in respect of a change in control, collectively, a “Change in Control Agreement”) and is terminated under circumstances that would entitle the Covered Executive to payments and benefits under the Change in Control Agreement, the terms of the Change in Control Agreement, and not this Policy, will apply and the Covered Executive will not be eligible for the payment of severance or benefits under this Policy.

10. Reservation of Rights

This Policy may be modified from time to time, or terminated in its entirety, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Any modifications made by the Compensation Committee for any Covered Executive will apply to all Covered Executives for purposes of this Policy (except to the extent expressly stated otherwise). Any modifications to, or the termination of, this Policy will not affect the rights of Covered Executives whose Termination Date preceded such modification or termination. The Compensation Committee will have discretion to construe and interpret this Policy and its decisions will be final and binding on the Company, the Covered Executive and all other interested persons.

11. Tax Withholding

All payments to a Covered Executive under this Policy will be reduced by any required withholdings of applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes.

12. Assignment

The Covered Executive’s rights and obligations under this Policy may not be assigned or transferred.  The Company may not assign or transfer its obligations under this Agreement except in the event the Company is merged or consolidated into, or with, any other company, or if substantially all of the assets of the Company are transferred to another company.

13.

11

Remedies for Breach

Each party will bear its own costs to resolve any dispute arising under this Policy; provided, however, that in the event that a Covered Executive is determined to be the prevailing party in such dispute pursuant to a final non-appealable order or in a binding arbitration, the Company will reimburse the Covered Executive for the reasonable costs incurred to enforce this Policy, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

14. Definitions

A.Cause means that, in the reasonable judgment of the Compensation Committee, any of the following events have occurred: (1) the willful or negligent failure by the Covered Executive to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company and, after written notification by the Company to the Covered Executive, the continued failure of the Covered Executive to substantially perform such duties; (2) the willful or negligent engagement by the Covered Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, financially or otherwise; (3) action or inaction by the Covered Executive that constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (4) the violation of any material written policy, rule or regulation of the Company; or (5) the Covered Executive’s material breach of any agreement in respect of confidentiality with the Company, whether or not entered into after the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall cease to exist for an event on the one hundred and twentieth (120^th) day following the later of its occurrence or the Covered Executive’s knowledge thereof, unless the Covered Executive has given the Company written notice of such condition and of the Covered Executive’s intent to terminate for Good Reason prior to such date.  With respect to the Chief Executive Officer only, Good Reason shall also include a change in responsibilities such that the Chief Executive Officer reports to someone other than directly to the Company’s Board of Directors.

12

Executive’s termination of employment under this Policy, a date selected by the Company that is within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date except in respect of the payments provided for in 3B(1)(d) and 3B(2)(d) above; provided, however, that the Payment Date shall be such date as avoids a violation of applicable law, including but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code. The Payment Date may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be different dates for different pay and/or benefits due under this Policy, as long as such dates comply with the requirements of applicable law.

E.Termination Date means the date on which a Covered Executive’s experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code from the Company.

GENERAL RELEASE

This General Release (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ______, 20___, by and between Farmers National Banc Corp. (the “Company”), and _________________ (the “Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

Article I.RELEASES, WAIVERS AND REVOCATION RIGHTS

1.01Release.  In consideration of receipt of the payments and benefits pursuant to the Company’s Executive Separation Policy, as it may have been amended from time to time (“Separation Policy”), the Executive does hereby fully and forever surrender, release, acquit and discharge the Company, and its principals, stockholders, directors, officers, agents, administrators, insurers, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, successors, assigns, related entities, and legal representatives, personally and in their representative capacities, and each of them (collectively, “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims for costs of attorneys’ fees, expenses, compensation, and all losses, demands and damage of whatsoever nature or kind in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, including without limitation those claims arising out of, under, or by reason of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any affiliate thereof, the Executive’s relationship with the Company or any affiliate and/or the termination of the Executive’s employment relationship and any and all claims which were or could have been asserted in any charge, complaint, or related lawsuit.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive specifically releases and discharges, but not by way of limitation, any obligation, claim, demand or cause of action based on, or arising out of, any alleged wrongful termination, breach of employment contract, breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, fraud, promissory estoppel, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, discrimination based on age, pain and suffering, personal injury, punitive damages, and any and all claims arising from any alleged violation by the Released Parties of any federal, state, or local statutes, ordinances or common laws, including but not limited to the Ohio Civil Rights Act, including all provisions of the Ohio Revised Code concerning discrimination on the basis of age, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA” and “ADAA”) or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This release of rights is knowing and voluntary.  The Company acknowledges that the Executive does not release herein any rights or claims which may arise after the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined in Section 1.03 of this Agreement) nor any rights the Executive has under the CIC Agreement, any rights the Executive may have regarding the enforcement of the CIC Agreement, the Executive’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or the Executive’s rights to indemnification.

1.03Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act Waiver.  The Executive has certain individual federal rights, which must be explicitly waived.  Specifically, the Executive is protected by the ADEA from discrimination in employment because of the Executive’s age.  By executing this Agreement, the Executive waives these rights as to any past or current claims.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, excluded from this Agreement are ADEA age claims that may arise after execution of this Agreement.  In connection with the releases in Section 1.01 and waivers in Section 1.02 of any and all claims or disputes that the Executive has or may have on the date hereof, the Executive makes the following acknowledgements:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers National Banc Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Bank” or “Farmers Bank”), Farmers Trust Company (“Farmers Trust”), National Associates, Inc. (“NAI”) and Farmers National Captive, Inc. (“Captive”).  Captive was formed during 2016 and is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company.  The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s subsidiaries; Farmers National Insurance, LLC (“Farmers Insurance”) and Farmers of Canfield Investment Co. (“Farmers Investments”).  The Company acquired Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (“Monitor”), the holding company of Monitor Bank in 2017 and consolidated the activity within the Bank.  The Bank acquired Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Bowers”) and consolidated the activity of Bowers with Farmers Insurance during 2016, see Note 2.  Together all entities are referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations: The Company provides full banking services, including wealth management services and mortgage banking activity, through the Bank.  As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The primary area served by the Bank is the northeastern region of Ohio through thirty nine (39) locations and two-branch location in southwestern Pennsylvania.  The Company provides trust services through its Farmers Trust subsidiary, retirement consulting services through its NAI subsidiary and insurance services through the Bank’s Insurance subsidiary.  Farmers Trust has a state-chartered bank license to conduct trust business from the Ohio Department of Commerce – Division of Financial Institutions.  The primary purpose of Farmers Investments is to invest in municipal securities.  Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries.  Captive pools resources with thirteen similar insurance subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among the pool members and to provide insurance where not currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance market place.

Estimates: 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with other financial institutions and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.  Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions, short-term borrowings and other assets and liabilities.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income.  Prior to 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were classified as available for sale, carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard for Financial Instruments, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated.  Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.  Purchases are recorded on the trade date.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with or without servicing rights released.  Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.  Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level yield method without anticipating prepayments.  Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection.  Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

For all classes of loans, when interest accruals are discontinued, interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.  Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans: The Company purchased loans that have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These loans were recorded at the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each loan, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.  The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded.

Over the life of the loan, expected cash flows continue to be estimated.  If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded as a provision for loan losses.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Derivatives: Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value.  The Company’s derivatives are interest-rate swap agreements, which are used as part of its asset and liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or balance sheet hedging purposes.  The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives.  Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported currently in earnings, as other noninterest income.

Concentration of Credit Risk: There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer.  However, most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within Northeastern Ohio.  Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy of a nine county area.  Loans secured by real estate represent 70.5% of the total portfolio and changes related to the real estate markets are monitored by management.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred loan losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.  The allowance is based on management’s judgment taking into consideration past loss experience, reviews of individual loans, current economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by management at the financial statement date.  While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, which may be material, if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the allowance.  If additions to the original estimate of the allowance for loan losses are deemed necessary, they will be reported in earnings in the period in which they become reasonably estimable and probable.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Acquired loans are individually evaluated and for those purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration, management evaluates each reviewed loan using an internal grading system with a grade assigned to each loan at the date of acquisition.  To the extent that any purchased loan is not specifically reviewed, such loan is assumed to have characteristics similar to the characteristics of the acquired portfolio of purchased loans.  The grade for each purchased loan without evidence of credit deterioration is reviewed subsequent to the date of acquisition any time a loan is renewed or extended or at any time information becomes available to the Company that provides material insight regarding the loan’s performance, the status of the borrower or the quality or value of the underlying collateral.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is not considered impaired and is not individually considered in the determination of the required allowance for loan losses.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is considered impaired and is considered in the determination of the required level of allowance.

In determining the day one fair values of purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition, management includes (i) no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses and (ii) an adjustment of the unpaid principal balance to reflect an appropriate market rate of interest, given the risk profile and grade assigned to each loan.  This adjustment is accreted into earnings as a yield adjustment, using the effective yield method, over the remaining life of each loan.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on the 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.  Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  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 commercial and commercial real estate loans over $750 thousand, individually or in the aggregate, 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.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.  Non-real estate secured consumer loans in bankruptcy where debt has not been reaffirmed are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated individually to ensure that accurate accounting treatment is in place.

The Company considers the guidance on troubled debt restructuring for individual consumer and residential loans when evaluating for impairment disclosure.  Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flow using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.  For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced for the most recent twelve quarters.  The formula for calculating the allowance for loan losses requires that the historical loss percentage be applied to homogeneous and all risk rated loans.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  The following portfolio segments have been identified:

Commercial Loans. Commercial credit is extended to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other projects.  The majority of these borrowers are customers doing business within our geographic regions.  These loans are generally underwritten individually and secured with the assets of the company and the personal guarantee of the business owners.  Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans.  These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and property type.

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of loans made directly to consumers and indirectly through automobile dealerships.  These loans have a specific matrix which consists of several factors including debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and relationship with the borrower.  Consumer lending uses risk-based pricing in the underwriting process.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential mortgage loans represent loans to consumers for the purchase or refinance of a residence.  These loans are generally financed up to 15 years and in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence.  Real estate market values at the time of origination directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in the event of default, subsequent changes in these values may impact the severity of losses.

Servicing Rights:When mortgage loans are sold and servicing rights are retained, the servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans.  Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.  The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data to validate the model results and assumptions.

All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non‑interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.  Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the assets compared to carrying amount.  Any impairment is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a grouping.  There was no valuation allowance impairment against servicing assets as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Servicing fee income is recorded when earned for servicing loans based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan.  The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.  Servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not considered significant for financial reporting.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.  These assets are recorded in other assets on the balance sheets as other real estate owned (“OREO”).  OREO totaled $0 at December 31, 2018 and $171 thousand at December 31, 2017.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Restricted Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.  Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts.  The Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Reserve Bank.  These stocks are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities included in other assets, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  Restricted stock totaled $11.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $10.5 million at December 31, 2017.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key officers.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from a business combination is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date.  Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment tests associated with the acquisition of the Farmers Trust, NAI, First National Bank of Orrville, 1st National Community Bank, Bowers and Monitor.  Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the balance sheet.  Core deposit intangible assets arising from bank acquisitions are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 7 to 8 years.  Non-compete contracts are amortized on a straight line basis, over the term of the agreements.  Customer relationship and trade name intangibles are amortized over a range of 13 to 15 years on an accelerated method.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant.  The market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used for restricted stock awards.  Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.  For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching and discretionary contributions.  Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Earnings per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock equity awards.  Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of the post-retirement health plan, which are recognized as separate components of equity, net of tax effects.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe there are any matters currently that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.  The Company had deposits with the FRB of $34.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $30.0 million at December 31, 2017.

Equity: Treasury stock is carried at cost.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank and Farmers Trust to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions as more fully disclosed in Note 7.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Operating Segments: Operations are managed and financial performance is primarily aggregated and reported in three lines of business, the Bank, Farmers Trust and Retirement Consulting segments.  The Company discloses segment information in Note 22.

Reclassification: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Newly Issued, Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards: During February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income(Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users.  However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected.  The standard takes effect for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.  The Company early adopted this ASU and the result was a reclass of $106 thousand from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017.

During April of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.  Under current U.S. GAAP, a premium is typically amortized to the maturity date when a callable debt security is purchased at a premium, even if the holder is certain the call will be exercised.  As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.  The new standard shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date to more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument.  The standard takes effect for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, under the new guidance, an entity is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The Company does not plan on early adoption of this ASU.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842): Leases.  The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to provide users with useful, transparent and complete information about leasing transactions.  ASU 2016-02 requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet to increase transparency and comparability among organizations.  Under the updated guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-to-use asset and a liability to make a lease payment and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019.  As disclosed in footnote 8, certain leases that the Company has in place require the capitalization of $3.6 million on the balance sheet as an asset and a related liability in the same amount with no income statement effect at January 1, 2019.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01: Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information.  ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01  include the following: 1) require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others.  The amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 which resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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.  Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The new guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2018.  Refer to the Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Note 5 for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for revenue sources within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.  Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses.  Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.  Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  The Company continues to accumulate historical credit information, has established an internal committee and has completed the set-up stage of the installation process of new software in preparation of parallel testing in the first quarter of 2019.  Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will happen on January 1, 2020.  Management has not determined the full impact the new standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During August of 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Monitor, the holding company of Monitor Bank.  The transaction involved both cash and 465,787 shares of stock totaling $7.5 million.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, common shareholders of Monitor were entitled to elect to receive consideration in cash or in common shares, without par value, of the Company, subject to an overall limitation of 85% of the Monitor common shares being exchanged for the Company’s common shares and 15% exchanged for cash.  The per share cash consideration of $769.38 was equal to Monitor’s March 31 tangible book value multiplied by 1.25.  Based on the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common shares for the 20 trading days ended August 11, 2017 of $14.04, the final stock exchange ratio was 54.80, resulting in an implied value per Monitor common share of $769.38.

Goodwill of $1.0 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The fair value of other intangible assets of $673 thousand is related to core deposits.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Monitor and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of the acquisition.

During June of 2016, the Bank completed the acquisition of Bowers, and merged all activity of Bowers with Farmers Insurance, the Bank’s wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary.  The Bowers group is engaged in selling insurance, including commercial, farm, home, and auto property/casualty insurance and will help to meet the needs of all the Company’s customers.  The transaction involved both cash and 123,280 shares of stock totaling $3.2 million, including up to $1.2 million of future payments, contingent upon Bowers meeting performance targets, with an estimated fair value at the acquisition date of $880 thousand. The first of three contingent payments were made during July 2017, totaling $316 thousand, which reduced the earnout payable to $564 thousand.  Subsequent to the first payment, management conducted two annual valuations of the contingent consideration and found it necessary to reduce the future payment liability associated with the remaining two payments down to $200 thousand at year end 2017 and $20 thousand at year end 2018.  The $364 thousand and $180 thousand were recorded as a reduction to acquisition related costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.  The Company conducts this valuation work annually.  The earnout calculation for the second of three contingent payments was completed during June of 2018 and determined that no payment was earned or due.   The acquisition is part of the Company’s plan to increase the levels of noninterest income and to complement the existing insurance services currently being offered.

Goodwill of $1.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The original fair value of other intangible assets of $1.6 million was related to client relationships, company name and noncompetition agreements.

The Company’s equity securities include local and regional bank holdings.   No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during 2017 or 2016.  If an other-than-temporary impairment were to occur, the amount of the impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it would be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  The previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 583 securities, 256 of which were in an unrealized loss position.  The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s holdings in securities issued by state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities - residential, collateralized mortgage obligations and Small Business Administration, as discussed below:

Securities issued by State and Political subdivisions

Unrealized losses on debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions have not been recognized into income.  At December 31, 2018 and 2017 all securities issued by state and political subdivisions have investment grade ratings and management does not have the intent and does not expect to be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.  The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

Mortgage-backed securities - residential

All of the Company’s holdings of mortgage-backed securities—residential at year end 2018 and 2017 were issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.  Unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities—residential have not been recognized into income.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities—residential and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Collateralized mortgage obligations

The Company’s portfolio includes collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises.  The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality.  The Company does not have the intent to sell these collateralized mortgage obligations and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.  The Company monitors all securities to ensure adequate credit support and as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company believes there is no other-than-temporary impairment.

Small Business Administration

The Company’s holdings of Small Business Administration securities are issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  Unrealized losses on these Small Business Administration securities have not been recognized into income.  The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 and 2017 because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

Purchased credit impaired loans

As part of the NBOH acquisition in 2015 the Company acquired various loans that displayed evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and which was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected.  The carrying amounts and contractually required payments of these loans which are included in the loan balances above are summarized in the following tables:

	2018		2017
Commercial real estate
Owner occupied	$	0	$	670
Non-owner occupied		292		387
Commercial
Commercial and industrial		899		1,072
Total outstanding balance	$	1,191	$	2,129
Carrying amount, net of allowance of $0 in 2018 and 2017	$	903	$	1,733

Accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, is shown in the table below:

	2018			2017
Beginning balance	$	170		$	247
New loans purchased		0			0
Accretion of income		(77	)		(77	)
Ending balance	$	93		$	170

The key assumptions considered include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date.  Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and principal expected to be collected.  In reforecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.  There were no adjustments to forecasted cash flows that impacted the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Total troubled debt restructurings were $5.5 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.  The Company has allocated $72 thousand and $68 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

During the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.  The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; a permanent increase of the recorded investment in the loan due to a protective advance to pay delinquent real estate taxes or advance new monies; an extension of an interest only period; a deferral of principal payments; a capitalization of interest or a legal concession.

Troubled debt restructuring modifications involved a reduction of the notes stated interest rate in the range of 0.49% to 3.49%.  There were also extensions of the maturity dates on these and other troubled debt restructurings in the range of five months to 132 months.

The following tables present loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $43 thousand and resulted in charge offs of $344 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2016.

There were two residential real estate loans for $146 thousand for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2018.  Both loans were past due at December 31, 2018.  There was no effect on the provision for loan losses as a result of this default during 2018.  A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

There were no loans for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2017.

There were two commercial real estate loans for $1.2 million, one residential real estate loan for $1 thousand and one home equity line of credit for $10 thousand modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there were payment defaults within twelve months following the modification during the year ended December 31, 2016.  None of the loans were past due at December 31, 2016.  There was no effect of the provision for loan losses as a result of this default during 2016.

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 establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loan and commercial real estate relationships.  For relationships over $750 thousand management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt.  Management also affirms the risk ratings for the loans and leases in their respective portfolios on an annual basis.  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.  Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

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.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

A description of the Company’s revenue streams under ASC 606 follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Management reviewed the deposit account agreements, and determined that the agreements can be terminated at any time by either the Bank or the account holder.  Transaction fees, such as balance transfers, wires and overdraft charges are settled the day the performance obligation is satisfied.  The Bank’s monthly service charges and maintenance fees are for services provided to the customer on a monthly basis are considered a series of services that have the same pattern of transfer each month.  The review of service charges assessed on deposit accounts, included the amount of variable consideration that is a part of the monthly charges.  It was found that the waiver of service charges due to insufficient funds and dormant account fees is immaterial and would not require a change in the accounting treatment for these fees under the new revenue standards.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Debit Card Interchange Fees – Customers and the Bank have an account agreement and maintain deposit balances with the Bank.  Customers use a bank issued debit card to purchase goods and services, and the Bank earns interchange fees on those transactions, typically a percentage of the sale amount of the transaction.  The Bank records the amount due when it receives the settlement from the payment network.  Payments from the payment network are received and recorded into income on a daily basis.  There are no contingent debit card interchange fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a clawback in future periods.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Trust fees – Services provided to Farmers Trust customers are a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer each month.  Fees for trust accounts are billed and drafted from trust accounts monthly.  The Company records these fees on the income statement on a monthly basis.  Fees are assessed based on the total investable assets of the customer’s trust account.  A signed contract between the Company and the customer is maintained for all customer trust accounts with payment terms identified.  It is probable that the fees will be collectible as funds being managed are accessible by the asset manager.  Past history of trust fee income recorded by the Company indicates that it is highly unlikely that a significant reversal could occur.  There are no contingent incentive fees recorded by the Company that could be subject to a clawback in future periods.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Insurance Agency Commissions – Insurance agency commissions are received from insurance carriers for the agency’s share of commissions from customer premium payments.  These commissions are recorded into income when checks are received from the insurance carriers, and there is no contingent portion associated with these commission checks.  There may be a short time-lag in recording revenue when cash is received instead of recording the revenue when the policy is signed by the customer, but the time lag is insignificant and does not impact the revenue recognition process.

Farmers Insurance also receives incentive checks from the insurance carriers for achieving specified levels of production with particular carriers.  These amounts are recorded into income when a check is received, and there are no contingent amounts associated with these payments that may be clawed back by the carrier in the future.  Similar to the monthly commissions explained in the preceding paragraph, there may be a short time-lag in recording incentive revenue on a cash basis as opposed to estimating the amount of incentive revenue expected to be earned, this does not materially impact the recognition of insurance revenue.  If there were any amounts that would need to be refunded for one specific Farmers Insurance customer, management believes the reversal would not be significant.

Other potential situations surrounding the recognition of Farmers Insurance revenue include the estimating potential refunds due to the likely cancellation of a percentage of customers cancelling their policies and recording revenue at the time of policy renewals.  Management concluded that since Farmers Insurance agency commissions represent only 2.2% of the Company’s total revenue, adjusting the current practice of recording insurance revenue for these situations would not have a material impact on the reporting of total revenue.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.  

Retirement Plan Consulting Fees – The fees earned from retirement plan consulting are generated by NAI.  Revenue is recognized based on the level of work performed for the client.  Any payments that are received for work to be performed in the future are recorded in a deferred revenue account, and recorded into income when the fees are earned.  Retirement plan consulting fees represent only 1.4% of the Company’s total revenue, and therefore management has concluded that any adjustment of revenue for one particular customer for a refund or any other reason would be insignificant and would not materially impact the Company’s total revenue.  Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.  

Investment Commissions – Investment commissions are earned through the sales of non-deposit investment products to customers of the Company.  The sales are conducted through a third-party broker-dealer.  When the commissions are received and recorded into income on the Bank’s income statement, there is no contingent portion that may need to be refunded back to Cetera.  Investment commissions represent only 1.0% of the Company’s total revenue, and therefore management has concluded that any adjustment of revenue for a particular customer for a refund or any other reason would be insignificant and would not materially impact the Company’s total revenue. Recognition of revenue under ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or magnitude of revenue recognition.

Other – Income items included in “Other” are Bank owned life insurance income, security gains, net gains on the sale of loans and other operating income.  Any amounts within the scope of ASC 606 are deemed immaterial.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for 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 on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

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; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities

The Company uses a third party service to estimate fair value on available for sale securities on a monthly basis.  ASU 2016-01, which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2018, requires the use of exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.  The Company’s service provider is considered a leading evaluation pricing service for U.S. domestic fixed income securities and complies fully with ASU 2016-01’s exit pricing requirements.  They subscribe to multiple third-party pricing vendors, and supplement that information with matrix pricing methods.  The fair values for investment securities, which consist of equity securities that are recorded at fair market value to comply with ASU 2016-01, are determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1).  The equity securities change in fair market value is recorded in the income statements.  For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices, which provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination.  Such inputs may include interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates.  Inputs used are derived principally from observable market data (Level 2).  For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).  The fair values of Level 3 investment securities are determined by using unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based on the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 the fair value of Level 3 investment securities was immaterial.

Derivative Instruments

The fair values of derivative instruments are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans

At the time loans are considered impaired, collateral dependent impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value and non-collateral dependent loans are valued based on discounted cash flows.  Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses.  For collateral dependent loans fair value is commonly 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 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.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.  Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair values are commonly 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 both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial and commercial real estate properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  Once received, a member of the Appraisal Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.  On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what adjustments should be made to appraisals to arrive at fair value.

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $1.1 million, with a valuation allowance of $227 thousand at December 31, 2018, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $180 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2018.  At December 31, 2017, impaired loans had a principal balance of $851 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $109 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value throughout the year resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $272 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2017.  At December 31, 2016, impaired loans had a principal balance of $727 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $173 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value throughout the year resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $139 thousand for the year ending December 31, 2016.  Excluded from the fair value of impaired loans, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, discussed above are $694 thousand and $763 thousand of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and measured using the present value of cash flows, which is not considered an exit price.

Impaired commercial real estate loans, both owner occupied and non-owner occupied are valued by independent external appraisals.  These external appraisals are prepared using the sales comparison approach and income approach valuation techniques.  Management makes subsequent unobservable adjustments to the impaired loan appraisals.  Impaired loans other than commercial real estate and other real estate owned are not considered material.

At December 31, 2018, other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a zero net carrying amount.  During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company did not have any write-downs related to other real estate owned. The Company had $23 thousand and $36 thousand related write downs during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, not previously described, are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.  The Company has determined that cash on hand and non-interest bearing due from bank accounts are Level 1 whereas interest bearing federal funds sold and other are Level 2.

Restricted Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of restricted stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: Beginning January 1, 2018 the Company used a third party firm that uses cash flow analysis and current market interest rates along with adjustments for credit, liquidity and option risk to conform to the ASU 2016-01 exit price requirement.  At December 31, 2017, management used the discounted cash flow analysis and interest rates being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality to estimate fair market value.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon the average of binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value resulting in a Level l, Level 2 or Level 3 classification.  The classification is the result of the association with securities, loans and deposits.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits – interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts—are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification.  The carrying amounts of variable rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting Level 2 classification.  Fair value 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.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Long-term Borrowings: 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.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of commitments is not considered material.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements are secured by the Bank’s holdings of debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies.  These pledged securities which are 105% of the repurchase agreement balances, had a carrying amount of $4.6 million and $77.9 million at year ended 2018 and 2017.

Repurchase agreements are financing arrangements that mature within 89 days and usually overnight. Under the agreements, customers agree to maintain funds on deposit with the Bank and in return acquire an interest in a pool of securities pledged as collateral against the funds. The securities are held in segregated safekeeping accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank, Farmers Trust and the FHLB. Information concerning securities sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized as follows:

	2018			2017			2016
Average balance during the year	$	51,694		$	82,627		$	84,368

Mortgage-backed securities - residential		3,094		43,936
Collateralized mortgage obligations		319		4,772
Total borrowings	$	4,409	$	74,215

Management believes the risks associated with the agreements are minimal and in the case of collateral decline the Company has additional investment securities available to adequately pledge as guarantees for the repurchase agreements.

The Bank has access to lines of credit amounting to $35 million at two major domestic banks that are below prime rate. The lines and terms are periodically reviewed by the banks and are generally subject to withdrawal at their discretion.  There were no borrowings under these lines at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Farmers has two unsecured revolving lines of credit for $6.5 million. The lines can be renewed annually. The lines have interest rates of prime with floors of 3.5% and 4.5%. The outstanding balance on the two lines was $350 thousand at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  The interest rate on the outstanding balance at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 5.5% and 4.5%.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates.  Commitments may expire without being used.  Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated.  The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at year end were as follows:

	2018				2017
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
Commitments and unused lines of credit	$	86,952	$	287,551	$	74,119	$	265,260

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 30 days or less.  Commitments and fixed rate unused lines of credit have interest rates ranging from 2.99% to 16.00% at December 31, 2018 and 2017.    

Standby letters of credit are considered financial guarantees.  The standby letters of credit have a contractual value of $5.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2017.  The carrying amount of these items on the balance sheet is not material.

Additionally, the Company has committed up to a $8 million subscription in SBIC investment funds.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had invested $6.0 million in these funds.

During 2017, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  The 2017 Plan permits the award of up to 800 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to attract and retain exceptional personnel, motivate performance and most importantly to help align the interests of Farmers’ executives with those of the Company’s shareholders. There were 25,729 service time based shares and 62,919 performance based shares granted under the 2017 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2018, as shown in the table below. The actual number of performance based stock awards issued will depend on certain performance conditions which are mainly average return on equity compared to a group of peer companies over a three year vesting period.

During 2012, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan permitted the award of up to 500 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to promote the Company’s long-term financial success by motivating performance through long-term incentive compensation and to better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.  There were no additional shares granted under the Plan during 2018.  Any new restricted stock awards will be issued under the 2017 Plan described above.

The restricted stock awards were granted with a fair value price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.  Expense recognized was $1.7 million for 2018, $2.4 million for 2017 and $892 thousand for 2016.  As of December 31, 2018, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested shares granted under the Plan.  The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over 2.20 years.

The following is the activity under the Plans during 2018:

	Maximum Awarded Service Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Maximum Awarded Performance Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Beginning balance - non-vested shares		323,331		$	9.20		266,515		$	9.43

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract]

Regulatory Matters

NOTE 15 – REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks and financial holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The new minimum capital requirements associated with the Basel Committee on capital and liquidity regulation (Basel III) was phased in beginning on January 1, 2015 and continued through January 1, 2019.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.  Management believes as of December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The FDIC and other federal banking regulators revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to financial holding companies and insured depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”).

The common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets.  The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets.

Basel III limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements.  The capital conservation buffer began the phase in January 1, 2016 and increased each year and was fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.  The capital conservation buffer was 1.875% during 2018 and was 1.25% during 2017.  The buffer required an additional capital amount of $34.4 million at year end 2018 and an additional $21.0 million at year end 2017.  Excluding the additional capital conservation buffer, Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, (ii) a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0% and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4.0%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  At year-end 2018 and 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Dividend Restrictions: The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank, Farmers Trust and NAI.  The Bank and Farmers Trust are subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency and Ohio Department of Commerce – Division of Financial Institutions, respectively.  The respective regulatory agency must approve declaration of any dividends in excess of the sum of profits for the current year and retained net profits for the preceding two years.  During 2019, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $39.0 million plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.  In order to practice trust powers, Farmers Trust must maintain a minimum capital of $3 million.  Farmers Trust would also be able to, without prior approval, declare dividends of $603 thousand plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

Actual and required capital amounts (not including the capital conservation buffer) and ratios are presented below at year-end:

The Company has a qualified 401(k) deferred compensation Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”).  All employees of the Company who have completed at least 90 days of service and meet certain other eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan.  Under the terms of the Savings Plan, employees may voluntarily defer a portion of their annual compensation pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company matches a percentage of the participants’ voluntary contributions up to 6% of gross wages.  In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may make an additional profit sharing contribution to the Savings Plan.  Total expense was $573 thousand, $556 thousand and $506 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

During 2014, the Company adopted a profit sharing plan to provide associates not participating in a current incentive plan a vehicle for sharing in the success of the Company outside of existing wages and non-monetary benefits.  The Board of Directors approved a profit sharing amount equal to 1% of annual compensation for associates in 2018, 2017 and 2016.  The expense was $78 thousand, $105 thousand and $103 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain retirees.  Expense under this plan was $8 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017and $9 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2016. The liability under the deferred compensation plan at December 31, 2018 was $124 thousand and $133 thousand at December 31, 2017.

During 2015, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated eligible individuals.  Under the terms of the plan, eligible individuals may elect to defer receipt of their compensation to a later taxable year.  The Company has recorded both an asset and liability of equal amount that represents the amount of contributions and the payable due to the participants in the plan.  The recorded asset and liability was $753 thousand, $566 thousand and $345 thousand at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As part of the NBOH acquisition the Company has a director retirement and death benefit plan for the benefit of prior members of the Board of Directors of NBOH.  The plan is designed to provide an annual retirement benefit to be paid to each director upon retirement from the Board and attaining age 70.  There are no additional benefits or participants being added to the plan and the liability recorded at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $941 thousand and $1 million, respectively. The benefit payment upon satisfying the plan’s requirements is a benefit to the qualifying director until death or a maximum of 15 years.  A benefit was recognized under the plan of $19 thousand in 2018.  An expense under this plan of$91 thousand and $130 was recorded in 2017 and 2016, respectively.   

The Company assumed an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) as part of the Tri-State acquisition that covered substantially all of their employees and officers. The Company terminated this plan during 2017. The trustee had discretionary authority to purchase shares of common stock of Tri-State on the open market.  There were no contributions to the plan in 2018 or 2017.  During the acquisition, the Tri-State ESOP shares were converted to the Company’s shares and distributed to participants.  The trustee held no shares at December 31, 2018, and2017.

The Company had a postretirement health care benefit plan that covered individuals retired from the Company that met certain service and age requirements and certain other active employees that have met similar service requirements.  The Company terminated the plan during 2017.  A benefit was recognized under the plan of$70 thousand and $184 thousand at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Due to the termination of the plan the accrued postretirement benefit liability at December 31, 2018 and 2017 is$0.  Due to the immateriality of the plan, the disclosures required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.

Interest Rate Swaps

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Interest Rate Swaps

NOTE 21 – INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Company uses a program that utilizes interest-rate swaps as part of its asset/liability management strategy.  The interest-rate swaps are used to help manage the Company’s interest rate risk position and not as derivatives for trading purposes.  The notional amount of the interest-rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties.  The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements.

The objective of the interest-rate swaps is to protect the related fixed rate commercial real estate loans from changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates.  The Company has a program whereby it lends to its borrowers at a fixed rate with the loan agreement containing a two-way yield maintenance provision, which will be invoked in the event of prepayment of the loan, and is expected to exactly offset the fair value of unwinding the swap.  The yield maintenance provision represents an embedded derivative which is bifurcated from the host loan contract and, as such, the swaps and embedded derivatives are not designated as hedges.  Accordingly, both instruments are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings.

Summary information about these interest-rate swaps as of year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

	2018			2017			2016
Notional amounts	$	35,996		$	38,481		$	34,360
Weighted average pay rate on interest-rate swaps		4.53	%		4.46	%		4.34	%
Weighted average receive rate on interest-rate swaps		4.78	%		3.81	%		3.04	%
Weighted average maturity (years)		4.4			3.2			4.8
Fair value of interest-rate swaps	$	(767	)	$	(653	)	$	(685	)
Fair value of loan yield maintenance provisions	$	767		$	653		$	685

The fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.  Changes in the fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps are reported in earnings, as other noninterest income in the consolidated income statements.  There were no net gains or losses recognized in earnings related to yield maintenance provisions for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Segment Information

NOTE 22 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking, trust and retirement consulting operations.  They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision makers in the Company, who use such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated.  Loans, investments and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation, trust service fees provide the revenue in trust operations and consulting fees provide the revenues in the retirement consulting operations.  All operations are domestic.

Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1.  Segment performance is evaluated using operating income.  Income taxes are calculated on operating income.  Transactions among segments are made at fair value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers National Banc Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Bank” or “Farmers Bank”), Farmers Trust Company (“Farmers Trust”), National Associates, Inc. (“NAI”) and Farmers National Captive, Inc. (“Captive”).  Captive was formed during 2016 and is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company.  The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s subsidiaries; Farmers National Insurance, LLC (“Farmers Insurance”) and Farmers of Canfield Investment Co. (“Farmers Investments”).  The Company acquired Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (“Monitor”), the holding company of Monitor Bank in 2017 and consolidated the activity within the Bank.  The Bank acquired Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Bowers”) and consolidated the activity of Bowers with Farmers Insurance during 2016, see Note 2.  Together all entities are referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations: The Company provides full banking services, including wealth management services and mortgage banking activity, through the Bank.  As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The primary area served by the Bank is the northeastern region of Ohio through thirty nine (39) locations and two-branch location in southwestern Pennsylvania.  The Company provides trust services through its Farmers Trust subsidiary, retirement consulting services through its NAI subsidiary and insurance services through the Bank’s Insurance subsidiary.  Farmers Trust has a state-chartered bank license to conduct trust business from the Ohio Department of Commerce – Division of Financial Institutions.  The primary purpose of Farmers Investments is to invest in municipal securities.  Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries.  Captive pools resources with thirteen similar insurance subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among the pool members and to provide insurance where not currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance market place.

Estimates

Estimates: 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with other financial institutions and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.  Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions, short-term borrowings and other assets and liabilities.

Securities

Securities: Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income.  Prior to 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were classified as available for sale, carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard for Financial Instruments, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated.  Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.  Purchases are recorded on the trade date.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with or without servicing rights released.  Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.  Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level yield method without anticipating prepayments.  Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection.  Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

For all classes of loans, when interest accruals are discontinued, interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.  Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans: The Company purchased loans that have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These loans were recorded at the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each loan, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.  The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded.

Over the life of the loan, expected cash flows continue to be estimated.  If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded as a provision for loan losses.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Derivatives

Derivatives: Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value.  The Company’s derivatives are interest-rate swap agreements, which are used as part of its asset and liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or balance sheet hedging purposes.  The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives.  Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported currently in earnings, as other noninterest income.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk: There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer.  However, most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within Northeastern Ohio.  Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy of a nine county area.  Loans secured by real estate represent 70.5% of the total portfolio and changes related to the real estate markets are monitored by management.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred loan losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.  The allowance is based on management’s judgment taking into consideration past loss experience, reviews of individual loans, current economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by management at the financial statement date.  While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, which may be material, if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the allowance.  If additions to the original estimate of the allowance for loan losses are deemed necessary, they will be reported in earnings in the period in which they become reasonably estimable and probable.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Acquired loans are individually evaluated and for those purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration, management evaluates each reviewed loan using an internal grading system with a grade assigned to each loan at the date of acquisition.  To the extent that any purchased loan is not specifically reviewed, such loan is assumed to have characteristics similar to the characteristics of the acquired portfolio of purchased loans.  The grade for each purchased loan without evidence of credit deterioration is reviewed subsequent to the date of acquisition any time a loan is renewed or extended or at any time information becomes available to the Company that provides material insight regarding the loan’s performance, the status of the borrower or the quality or value of the underlying collateral.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is not considered impaired and is not individually considered in the determination of the required allowance for loan losses.  To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is considered impaired and is considered in the determination of the required level of allowance.

In determining the day one fair values of purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition, management includes (i) no carry-over of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses and (ii) an adjustment of the unpaid principal balance to reflect an appropriate market rate of interest, given the risk profile and grade assigned to each loan.  This adjustment is accreted into earnings as a yield adjustment, using the effective yield method, over the remaining life of each loan.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on the 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.  Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  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 commercial and commercial real estate loans over $750 thousand, individually or in the aggregate, 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.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.  Non-real estate secured consumer loans in bankruptcy where debt has not been reaffirmed are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated individually to ensure that accurate accounting treatment is in place.

The Company considers the guidance on troubled debt restructuring for individual consumer and residential loans when evaluating for impairment disclosure.  Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flow using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.  For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced for the most recent twelve quarters.  The formula for calculating the allowance for loan losses requires that the historical loss percentage be applied to homogeneous and all risk rated loans.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  The following portfolio segments have been identified:

Commercial Loans. Commercial credit is extended to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other projects.  The majority of these borrowers are customers doing business within our geographic regions.  These loans are generally underwritten individually and secured with the assets of the company and the personal guarantee of the business owners.  Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans.  These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and property type.

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of loans made directly to consumers and indirectly through automobile dealerships.  These loans have a specific matrix which consists of several factors including debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and relationship with the borrower.  Consumer lending uses risk-based pricing in the underwriting process.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential mortgage loans represent loans to consumers for the purchase or refinance of a residence.  These loans are generally financed up to 15 years and in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence.  Real estate market values at the time of origination directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in the event of default, subsequent changes in these values may impact the severity of losses.

Servicing Rights

Servicing Rights:When mortgage loans are sold and servicing rights are retained, the servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans.  Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.  The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data to validate the model results and assumptions.

All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non‑interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.  Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the assets compared to carrying amount.  Any impairment is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a grouping.  There was no valuation allowance impairment against servicing assets as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Servicing fee income is recorded when earned for servicing loans based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan.  The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.  Servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not considered significant for financial reporting.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.  These assets are recorded in other assets on the balance sheets as other real estate owned (“OREO”).  OREO totaled $0 at December 31, 2018 and $171 thousand at December 31, 2017.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Restricted Stock

Restricted Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.  Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts.  The Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Reserve Bank.  These stocks are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities included in other assets, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  Restricted stock totaled $11.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $10.5 million at December 31, 2017.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key officers.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Long-term Assets

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from a business combination is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date.  Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment tests associated with the acquisition of the Farmers Trust, NAI, First National Bank of Orrville, 1st National Community Bank, Bowers and Monitor.  Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the balance sheet.  Core deposit intangible assets arising from bank acquisitions are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 7 to 8 years.  Non-compete contracts are amortized on a straight line basis, over the term of the agreements.  Customer relationship and trade name intangibles are amortized over a range of 13 to 15 years on an accelerated method.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant.  The market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date is used for restricted stock awards.  Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.  For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching and discretionary contributions.  Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock equity awards.  Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of the post-retirement health plan, which are recognized as separate components of equity, net of tax effects.

Loss Contingencies

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe there are any matters currently that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.  The Company had deposits with the FRB of $34.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $30.0 million at December 31, 2017.

Equity

Equity: Treasury stock is carried at cost.

Dividend Restriction

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank and Farmers Trust to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions as more fully disclosed in Note 7.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments: Operations are managed and financial performance is primarily aggregated and reported in three lines of business, the Bank, Farmers Trust and Retirement Consulting segments.  The Company discloses segment information in Note 22.

Reclassification

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Newly Issued, Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Newly Issued, Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards: During February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income(Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users.  However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected.  The standard takes effect for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.  The Company early adopted this ASU and the result was a reclass of $106 thousand from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017.

During April of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.  Under current U.S. GAAP, a premium is typically amortized to the maturity date when a callable debt security is purchased at a premium, even if the holder is certain the call will be exercised.  As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.  The new standard shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date to more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument.  The standard takes effect for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, under the new guidance, an entity is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The Company does not plan on early adoption of this ASU.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842): Leases.  The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to provide users with useful, transparent and complete information about leasing transactions.  ASU 2016-02 requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet to increase transparency and comparability among organizations.  Under the updated guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-to-use asset and a liability to make a lease payment and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019.  As disclosed in footnote 8, certain leases that the Company has in place require the capitalization of $3.6 million on the balance sheet as an asset and a related liability in the same amount with no income statement effect at January 1, 2019.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01: Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information.  ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01  include the following: 1) require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others.  The amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted this ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 which resulted in a $169 thousand increase to beginning retained earnings and a $169 thousand decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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.  Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The new guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2018.  Refer to the Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Note 5 for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for revenue sources within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.  Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses.  Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.  Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  The Company continues to accumulate historical credit information, has established an internal committee and has completed the set-up stage of the installation process of new software in preparation of parallel testing in the first quarter of 2019.  Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will happen on January 1, 2020.  Management has not determined the full impact the new standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
