Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the “Company” or “Parent Company”), a bank holding company, and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. Bank subsidiaries include Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company (“Farmers Bank”) in Frankfort, KY, United Bank & Trust Company (“United Bank”) in Versailles, KY, First Citizens Bank, Inc. (“First Citizens”) in Elizabethtown, KY, and Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. (“Citizens Northern”) in Newport, KY.

Farmers Bank’s significant subsidiaries include EG Properties, Inc. and Farmers Capital Insurance Corporation (“Farmers Insurance”). EG Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of Farmers Bank and Farmers Insurance is an insurance agency in Frankfort, KY. United Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, EGT Properties, Inc. EGT Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of United Bank. First Citizens has one wholly-owned subsidiary, HBJ Properties, LLC. HBJ Properties, LLC is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of First Citizens. Citizens Northern has one wholly-owned subsidiary, ENKY Properties, Inc. ENKY Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of Citizens Northern.

The Company has two active nonbank subsidiaries, FCB Services, Inc. (“FCB Services”), and FFKT Insurance Services, Inc. (“FFKT Insurance”). FCB Services is a data processing subsidiary located in Frankfort, KY that provides services to the Company’s banks as well as unaffiliated entities. FFKT Insurance is a captive property and casualty insurance company insuring primarily deductible exposures and uncovered liability related to properties of the Company. The Company has three subsidiaries organized as Delaware statutory trusts that are not consolidated into its financial statements. These trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.

The Company provides financial services at its 35 locations in 22 communities throughout Central and Northern Kentucky to individual, business, agriculture, government, and educational customers. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts. Its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial lending, and consumer installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans and leases are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Other services include, but are not limited to, cash management services, issuing letters of credit, safe deposit box rental, and providing funds transfer services. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) 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. Estimates used in the preparation of the condensed financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local and state economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the condensed financial statements. The allowance for loan losses, carrying value of other real estate owned, actuarial assumptions used to calculate postretirement benefits, and the fair values of financial instruments are estimates that are particularly subject to change.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

4. Accounting Policy

Loans and Interest Income

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their unpaid principal amount outstanding adjusted for any charge-offs and deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is recognized using the interest method based on loan principal amounts outstanding during the period. Interest income also includes amortization and accretion of any premiums or discounts over the expected life of acquired loans at the time of purchase or business acquisition. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the contractual term of the loans.

The Company disaggregates certain disclosure information related to loans, the related allowance for loan losses, and credit quality measures by either portfolio segment or by loan class. The Company segregates its loan portfolio segments based on similar risk characteristics as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Portfolio segments are further disaggregated into classes for certain required disclosures as follows:

Portfolio Segment	Class
Real estate loans	Real estate mortgage – construction and land development Real estate mortgage – residential Real estate mortgage – farmland and other commercial enterprises
Commercial loans	Commercial and industrial Depository institutions Agriculture production and other loans to farmers States and political subdivisions Leases Other
Consumer loans	Secured Unsecured

The Company has a loan policy in place that is amended and approved from time to time as needed to reflect current economic conditions and product offerings in its markets. The policy establishes written procedures concerning areas such as the lending authorities of loan officers, committee review and approval of certain credit requests, underwriting criteria, policy exceptions, appraisal requirements, and loan review. Credit is extended to borrowers based primarily on their ability to repay as demonstrated by income and cash flow analysis.

Loans secured by real estate make up the largest segment of the Company’s loan portfolio. If a borrower fails to repay a loan secured by real estate, the Company may liquidate the collateral in order to satisfy the amount owed. Determining the value of real estate is a key component to the lending process for real estate backed loans. If the fair value of real estate (less estimated cost to sell) securing a collateral dependent loan declines below the outstanding loan amount, the Company will write down the carrying value of the loan and thereby incur a loss. The Company uses independent third party state certified or licensed appraisers in accordance with its loan policy to mitigate risk when underwriting real estate loans. Cash flow analysis of the borrower, loan to value limits as adopted by loan policy, and other customary underwriting standards are also in place which are designed to maximize credit quality and mitigate risks associated with real estate lending.

Commercial loans are made to businesses and are secured mainly by assets such as inventory, accounts receivable, machinery, fixtures and equipment, or other business assets. Commercial lending involves significant risk, as loan repayments are more dependent on the successful operation or management of the business and its cash flows. Consumer lending includes loans to individuals mainly for personal autos, boats, or a variety of other personal uses and may be secured or unsecured. Loan repayment associated with consumer loans is highly dependent upon the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which is heavily influenced by local unemployment rates. The Company mitigates its risk exposure to each of its loan segments by analyzing the borrower’s repayment capacity, imposing restrictions on the amount it will loan compared to estimated collateral values, limiting the payback periods, and following other customary underwriting practices as adopted in its loan policy.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it is determined that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The Company’s policy for placing a loan on nonaccrual status or subsequently returning a loan to accrual status does not differ based on its portfolio class or segment.

Commercial and real estate loans delinquent in excess of 120 days and consumer loans delinquent in excess of 180 days are charged off, unless the collateral securing the debt is of such value that any loss appears to be unlikely. In all cases, loans are charged off at an earlier date if classified as loss under the Company’s loan grading process or as a result of regulatory examination. The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans does not differ from the charge-off policy for loans outside the definition of impaired.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges or credits made to earnings to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by net charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company estimates the adequacy of the allowance using a risk-rated methodology which is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral securing loans, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates that may be susceptible to change.

11 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current risk factors. 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. Actual loan losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

The general portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is segregated into portfolio segments having similar risk characteristics identified as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Each of these portfolio segments is assigned a loss percentage based on their respective sixteen quarter rolling historical loss rates, adjusted for the qualitative risk factors summarized below.

The qualitative risk factors used in the methodology are consistent with the guidance in the most recent Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan Losses issued. Each factor is supported by a detailed analysis performed at each subsidiary bank and is both measureable and supportable. Some factors include a minimum allocation in some instances where loss levels are extremely low and it is determined to be prudent from a safety and soundness perspective. Qualitative risk factors that are used in the methodology include the following for each loan portfolio segment:

● Delinquency trends

● Trends in net charge-offs

● Trends in loan volume

● Lending philosophy risk

● Management experience risk

● Concentration of credit risk

● Economic conditions risk

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. 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.

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables.” ASC Topic 310 requires that impaired loans be measured at the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans may also be classified as nonaccrual. In many circumstances, however, the Company continues to accrue interest on an impaired loan. Cash receipts on accruing impaired loans are applied to the recorded investment in the loan, including any accrued interest receivable. Cash payments received on nonaccrual impaired loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans that are part of a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and smaller-balance commercial loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate at inception, or at the fair value of collateral. The Company determines the amount of reserve for troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default in accordance with its accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU amends U.S. GAAP by removing the concept of extraordinary items, including deleting the definition of “extraordinary items” from the FASB Master Glossary. The revised guidance provides that the nature and financial effects of each event or transaction that is unusual in nature or occurs infrequently or both shall be presented as a separate component of income from continuing operations or, alternatively, disclosed in notes to the financial statements.

12

The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU addresses balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premiums. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” This ASU applies to entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also clarify that certain disclosure requirements are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient, and not all investments eligible to be measured at fair value using the practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” This ASU defers the effective date of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU No. 2015-14 permits public business entities to apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. Earlier application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting.” This ASU amends FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30 by adding paragraphs which concern line-of-credit arrangements. According to the FASB, ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 states that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of the deferred costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” to amend the guidance for amounts that are adjusted in a merger or acquisition. The amendments in this ASU require that a company that makes an acquisition recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which it determines the adjustment amounts. The amendments require that the buyer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other effects on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts and calculate them as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public companies this ASU is effective for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this ASU. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

13

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average total number of common shares issued and outstanding. Net income available to common shareholders represents net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends including dividends declared, accretion of discounts on preferred stock issuances, and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of the end of the period.

Diluted net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the total weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus amounts representing the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding. The effects of stock options outstanding are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Net income per common share computations were as follows for the periods indicated.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are detailed below. The summary is divided into available for sale and held to maturity securities. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mutual funds and equity securities in the available for sale portfolio consist of investments attributed to the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary. These securities have no stated maturity and are not included in the maturity schedule that follows.

Mortgage-backed securities are stated separately due to the nature of payment and prepayment characteristics of these securities, as principal is not due at a single date.

Unrealized losses included in the tables above have not been recognized in income since they have been identified as temporary. The Company evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Many factors are considered, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was effected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an OTTI charge exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to the Company at a point in time.

Corporate debt securities in the Company’s investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2015 include single-issuer trust preferred capital securities with an unrealized loss of $854 thousand and a carrying value of $5.0 million. At year-end 2014, these securities had an unrealized loss of $354 thousand. These securities were issued by a national and global financial services firm and purchased by the Company during 2007. The securities are currently performing and continue to be rated as investment grade by the rating agencies. The issuer of the securities announced in the first quarter of 2015 an increase in per share common dividend payments and authorization of a common equity repurchase plan. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company believes these securities are not impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors, but rather the unrealized loss is primarily attributed to continuing global economic issues and market volatility. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities and that the fair values of these securities will recover as they approach their maturity dates.

16

The Company attributes the unrealized losses in other sectors of its investment securities portfolio to changes in market interest rates and volatility. Investment securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 are performing according to their contractual terms, and the Company does not expect to incur a loss on these securities unless they are sold prior to maturity. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities nor does it believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company does not consider any of the securities to be impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors.

The Company has allocated $1.9 million and $2.2 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings and that are in compliance with those terms as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company had no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company had three credits modified as troubled debt restructurings during 2015. Additionally, troubled debt restructurings increased as a result of the purchase of a previously-participated portion of a loan to a nonaffiliated bank during the first quarter of 2015. This loan was participated prior to it being restructured. The purchase price paid represented a discount of $482 thousand or 15% of the purchased principal amount. The loan is performing under the terms of the restructuring and the borrower’s financial position has steadily improved. Accretion of the discount was recognized over the contractual life of the loan, which ended in June 2015. There is no further accretion to be recognized. The total outstanding balance related to this credit, which was renewed during June 2015, was $11.3 million at September 30, 2015. This represents 46.8% of the Company’s total restructured loans and is the largest such individual credit. This credit was restructured in 2012 following an interest rate concession and extended amortization term.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended September 30, 2015 or during 2014.

The troubled debt restructurings identified above increased the allowance for loan losses by $356 thousand in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. There were no charge-offs related to these loans. There were no payment defaults during the first nine months of 2015 or 2014 for credits that were restructured during the previous twelve months.

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 and conditions. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes large-balance loans and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial real estate and certain residential real estate loans. Loan rating grades, as described further below, are assigned based on a continuous process. The amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for its 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 borrower’s repayment ability, weaken the collateral or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits pose elevated risk, but their weaknesses do not yet justify a substandard 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 Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

22 

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent of 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 which are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans, which are considered to have a low risk of loss. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows for the dates indicated. Each of the following tables excludes immaterial amounts attributed to accrued interest receivable.

9. Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent transactions where the Company sells certain of its investment securities and agrees to repurchase them at a specific date in the future. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as secured borrowing and reflect the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by U.S. government agency securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral securing the borrowings in the event of principal pay downs or a decrease in the market value of the pledged securities. The Company mitigates this risk by monitoring the market value and liquidity of the collateral and ensuring that it holds a sufficient level of eligible securities to cover potential increases in collateral requirements.

The following table represents the remaining maturity of repurchase agreements disaggregated by the class of securities pledged.

	Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Agreements

10. Postretirement Medical Benefits

The Company provides lifetime medical and dental benefits upon retirement for certain employees meeting the eligibility requirements as of December 31, 1989 (“Plan 1”). Additional participants are not eligible to be included in Plan 1 unless they met the requirements on this date. During 2003, the Company implemented an additional postretirement health insurance program (“Plan 2”). Under Plan 2, any employee meeting the service requirement of 20 years of full time service to the Company and is at least age 55 upon retirement is eligible to continue their health insurance coverage. Under both plans, retirees not yet eligible for Medicare have coverage identical to the coverage offered to active employees. Under both plans, Medicare-eligible retirees are provided with a Medicare Advantage plan. The Company pays 100% of the cost of Plan 1. The Company and the retirees each pay 50% of the cost under Plan 2. Both plans are unfunded.

11. Regulatory Matters

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and its subsidiary banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, U.S. banking regulators adopted final rules related to standards on bank capital adequacy and liquidity (commonly referred to “Basel III”). The new rules were effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions extending through January 1, 2019. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to risk-weightings of certain assets, implementation of a new capital conservation buffer in excess of the required minimum (which is set to be phased in beginning in 2016), and changes to how regulatory capital is defined. The Company and each of its bank subsidiaries meet the minimum capital ratios and a fully phased-in capital conservation buffer under the new rules.

The regulatory ratios of the consolidated Company and its subsidiary banks were as follows for the dates indicated.

	September 30, 2015												December 31, 2014
	Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Total Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Leverage2				Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1		Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Total Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Leverage2
Consolidated		14.93	%		19.13	%		20.12	%		12.27	%			N/A		19.75	%		21.00	%		12.04	%
Farmers Bank		16.74			16.74			17.65			9.63				N/A		17.71			18.70			9.40
United Bank		19.04			19.04			20.20			12.82				N/A		18.00			19.26			11.08
First Citizens		14.47			14.47			15.09			9.85				N/A		13.66			14.30			9.44
Citizens Northern		14.26			14.26			15.51			10.31				N/A		14.46			15.71			10.11

¹Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-based, Tier 1 Risk-based, and Total Risk-based Capital ratios are computed by dividing a bank’s Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 or Total Capital, as defined by regulation, by a risk-weighted sum of the bank’s assets, with the risk weighting determined by general standards established by regulation. The safest assets (e.g., government obligations) are assigned a weighting of 0% with riskier assets receiving higher ratings (e.g., ordinary commercial loans are assigned a weighting of 100%).

²Tier 1 Leverage ratio is computed by dividing a bank’s Tier 1 Capital, as defined by regulation, by its total quarterly average assets.

N/A – Not applicable.

On June 8, 2015, the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of its remaining outstanding Series A preferred stock. The shares were redeemed at the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per share, plus accrued dividends of $58 thousand. The Company originally issued 30,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock in 2009. The redemption was the third and final partial redemption of the original shares issued. No additional debt or equity was issued in connection with any of the shares redeemed. 

Summary of Regulatory Agreements

Citizens Northern.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (“KDFI”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”) with Citizens Northern in September 2010. This Memorandum was terminated and replaced in July 2013. The updated Memorandum included provisionsthat required the bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio at or above 9.0% and to obtain regulatory approval before declaring or paying a dividend to the Parent Company. The Memorandum was terminated in August 2015 following a joint examination by the FDIC and KDFI, which found satisfactory compliance with the terms of the Memorandum and overall improvement in financial condition.

12. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” allows entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. This Topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions supported by little or no market activity, about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Following is a description of the valuation method used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For this disclosure, the Company only has available for sale investment securities and money market mutual funds classified as cash equivalents that meet the requirement. The carrying value of the $11.2 million in money market mutual funds is equivalent to its fair value and based on Level 1 inputs.

Available for sale investment securities

Valued primarily by independent third party pricing services under the market valuation approach that include, but are not limited to, the following inputs:

● Mutual funds and equity securities are priced utilizing real-time data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities and are considered Level 1 inputs.

● Government-sponsored agency debt securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other similar investment securities are priced with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources and are considered Level 2 inputs.

26

Available for sale investment securities are the Company’s only balance sheet item that meets the disclosure requirements for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Disclosures as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

The Company is required to measure and disclose certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods following their initial recognition. The Company’s disclosure about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consists of impaired loans and OREO. The carrying value of these assets are adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring basis through impairment charges as described more fully below.

Impairment charges on collateral-dependent loans are recorded by either an increase to the provision for loan losses and related allowance or by direct loan charge-offs. The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is measured based on recent appraisals of the underlying collateral. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraisers take absorption rates into consideration and adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to identify differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments consist mainly of estimated costs to sell that are not included in certain appraisals or to update appraised collateral values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which a newer appraisal is available. These adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

27

OREO includes properties acquired by the Company through, or in lieu of, actual loan foreclosures and is carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of OREO at acquisition is generally based on third party appraisals of the property that includes comparable sales data and is considered as Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of each OREO property is updated at least annually and more frequently when market conditions significantly impact the value of the property. If the carrying amount of the OREO exceeds fair value less estimated costs to sell, an impairment loss is recorded through noninterest expense.

The following tables represent the carrying amount of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held by the Company as of the dates indicated. The amounts in the table only represent assets whose carrying amount has been adjusted by impairment charges during the period in a manner as described above; therefore, these amounts will differ from the total amounts outstanding. Collateral-dependent impaired loan amounts in the tables below exclude restructured loans since they are measured based on present value techniques, which are outside the scope of the fair value reporting framework.

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs for assets measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 measurements. As described above, the fair value of real estate securing collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are based on current third party appraisals. It is often necessary, however, for the Company to discount the appraisal amounts supporting its impaired loans and OREO. These discounts relate primarily to marketing and other holding costs that are not included in certain appraisals or to update values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which newer appraisals are available. Discounts also result from contracts to sell properties entered into during the period. The range of discounts is presented in the table below for 2015. The upper end of the range identified in the table below related to OREO is the result of a small dollar property written down to the contract sales price. The weighted average column represents a better indicator of the discounts applied to the appraisals.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The table that follows represents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.” ASC 825 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and present value or other valuation techniques. These derived fair values are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented are not intended to represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each of the financial instruments in the table that follows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization or settlement.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity

Fair value is based on quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and fair value approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased and Other Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for these borrowings which reprice frequently in the near term.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Subordinated Notes Payable, and Other Long-term Borrowings

The fair value of these borrowings is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. For subordinated notes payable, the Company uses its best estimate to determine an appropriate discount rate since active markets for similar debt transactions are very limited.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Pricing of these financial instruments is based on the credit quality and relationship, fees, interest rates, probability of funding, compensating balance, and other covenants or requirements. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, variable interest rates and contain termination and other clauses that provide for relief from funding in the event there is a significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. Many loan commitments are expected to, and typically do, expire without being drawn upon. The rates and terms of the Company’s commitments to lend and standby letters of credit are competitive with others in the various markets in which the Company operates. There are no unamortized fees relating to these financial instruments, as such the carrying value and fair value are both zero.

30

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Information for available for sale investment securities is presented within this footnote in greater detail above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter 2015 Compared to Third Quarter 2014

The Company reported net income of $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $275 thousand or 6.7% compared with net income of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2014. On a per common share basis, net income was $.51 and $.49 for the current and year-ago quarters, respectively. This represents an increase of $.02 or 4.1%. Per common share net income was positively impacted $.06 by the Company’s redemption of its outstanding preferred shares, which decreased preferred stock dividends by $450 thousand in the quarterly comparison. The preferred share redemptions took place in three separate transactions of 10,000 shares each, beginning in the second quarter of 2014 and concluding in the second quarter of 2015.

Selected income statement amounts and related data are summarized in the table below.

Return on average equity		8.95	%		9.17	%	(22) bp

bp – basis points.

The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to a lower credit to the provision for loan losses of $638 thousand or 41.5%, lower net interest income of $498 thousand or 3.7%, and lower noninterest income of $453 thousand or 7.4%. These were partially offset by a decrease to noninterest expense of $1.5 million or 9.3%. Further information related to the more significant components making up the increase in net income follows.

Net Interest Income

The overall interest rate environment at September 30, 2015, as measured by the Treasury yield curve, remained at very low levels when compared with historical trends. During the current quarter, yields for the three and six-month maturities were relatively unchanged, while the three-year maturity decreased 15 basis points. Yields on longer-term maturities declined 33 and 25 basis points for the ten and thirty-year maturity periods, respectively. At September 30, 2015, the short-term federal funds target interest rate remained between zero and 0.25%, unchanged since December 2008. The Federal Reserve Board (“Federal Reserve”) has indicated that it will be appropriate to raise the federal funds target interest rate when it sees further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will return to its 2 percent objective over the medium term. At September 30, 2015, the national and Kentucky unemployment rate was 5.1% and 5.0%, respectively. However, labor force participation rates remain near 40-year lows. The national inflation rate at September 30, 2015 was minus 0.04% based on the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

33

Net interest income was $13.0 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $498 thousand or 3.7% compared to $13.5 million for the prior year third quarter. The decrease in net interest income was driven by lower interest income of $853 thousand or 5.3%, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $355 thousand or 14.1%. Interest income on loans and investment securities decreased $522 thousand or 4.2% and $332 thousand or 9.5%, respectively. Interest expense on deposits decreased $305 thousand or 29.6% in the comparison.

The decrease to interest income on loans resulted from a decline in average balances outstanding and a lower average rate earned on loans. The decrease in loan volume has been accelerated by early payoffs of several larger balance credits that were refinanced by competitors with terms below the Company’s underwriting standards. In recent years, the Company has focused on strengthening its credit underwriting standards, which has improved the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities decreased mainly due to lower rates, partially offset by an increase in volume. In periods when quality loan demand is low, available funds are invested in lower yielding investment securities or cash equivalents at then-current market rates, or otherwise used to manage liquidity, such as for deposit outflows or for the repayment of long-term debt. Average investment securities for the quarter increased $7.9 million or 1.3% from a year ago.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was driven by rate declines and, to a lesser extent, lower average outstanding balances. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to lower interest on time deposits.

Overall declines in interest income on loans and interest paid on deposits are the result of a slow growing economy and low interest rate environment, competitive pressures, and the Company’s strategy of being more selective in pricing its loans and deposits. The goal of this strategy is to improve credit quality, net interest income, overall profitability, and the capital position.

The Company is generally earning and paying less interest from its earning assets and funding sources as the average rates earned and paid have decreased. This includes repricing of variable and floating rate assets and liabilities that have reset to overall lower amounts since their previous repricing date as well as activity related to new earning assets and funding sources in a low interest rate environment. The Company continues to reprice its higher-rate maturing time deposits downward to lower market rates or allowing them to mature without renewal, as liquidity has been adequate.

The net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 3.25% and 3.33% in the current and year-ago quarters, respectively. Net interest spread was 3.09% and 3.18% in the comparison. The Company expects its net interest margin to remain relatively flat or trend downward in the near term according to internal modeling using expectations about future market interest rates, the maturity structure of the Company’s earning assets and liabilities, and other factors. Future results could be significantly different than expectations.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges or credits to earnings that are necessary to maintain an allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to cover credit losses specifically identified in the loan portfolio, as well as management’s best estimate of incurred probable loan losses in the remainder of the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio continued to improve in the comparable periods, including certain credit quality metrics which are at or near recent quarterly bests.

The Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses in the amount of $898 thousand and $1.5 million in the current and year ago quarters, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans was 1.21% at September 30, 2015 compared to 1.50% and 1.65% at year-end 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The credit to the provision for loan losses is attributed to continuing improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a decline in outstanding loans. Net charge-offs were $24 thousand in the current quarter compared to net recoveries of $105 thousand a year earlier. Loan recoveries for the prior-year quarter include $671 thousand related to a group of fraudulent loans that were charged off during the first quarter of 2014.

Nonperforming loans, early stage delinquencies, and watch list loans have each declined when compared with a year earlier. Historical loss rates have also improved as lower recent charge-off activity has replaced the higher levels experienced in the early part of the Company’s rolling quarterly four year look-back period used when evaluating the allowance for loan losses. While historical loss rates are expected to continue improving throughout 2015 due to elevated charge-offs falling out of the look-back period, this expected improvement may not necessarily correlate to a lower provision for loan losses. Other qualitative factors, such as changes in loan volume, the overall makeup of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other risk factors applied to historical loss rates may offset to some degree the impact of decreases to the historical loss rates. For further information about improvements in the Company’s overall credit quality, please refer to the discussion under the captions “Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Nonperforming Loans” that follows.

N/M – Not meaningful.

The decrease in noninterest income is attributed mainly to lower income from company-owned life insurance, which was due to a tax-free death benefit that exceeded the cash surrender value by $276 thousand during the year-ago quarter.

The decrease in allotment processing fees is a result of lower processing volume stemming from the U.S. Department of Defense policy restrictions that went into effect on January 1, 2015. As previously disclosed by the Company, the new policy restricts active duty service members from entering into certain types of allotment arrangements. These restrictions have resulted in lower processing volumes for the Company. While the Company continues to diversify its allotment customer base and product offerings, the future impact on processing revenue remains uncertain and challenging to predict.

The decrease in trust income was driven by an unusually large nonrecurring estate fee of $250 thousand recorded during the prior-year third quarter, partially offset by a nonrecurring fee of $73 thousand in the current quarter. Service charges and fees on deposits decreased primarily due to lower overdraft fees of $68 thousand or 5.7% related to volume declines.

The increase in nondeposit service charges, commissions, and fees was driven by a nonrecurring fee of $63 thousand received during the current quarter related to credit card merchant activity and higher interchange fees of $35 thousand or 4.8% due to higher transaction volume. The higher net gains on sale of mortgage loans relates to higher sales volume of $1.7 million or 25.7%.

Noninterest Expense

The components of noninterest expense are as follows for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended September 30,	2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)			%

Total noninterest expense	$	14,281	$	15,751	$	(1,470	)		(9.3	)%

Total decrease in noninterest expense was driven by lower expenses related to repossessed real estate. Development, maintenance, and operating costs related to repossessed real estate decreased $765 thousand and impairment charges were down $633 thousand in the comparison. The prior-year quarter expenses include costs incurred to increase the marketability of two real estate construction properties and to better position them for sale. The two properties have subsequently been sold. Net losses from the sale of repossessed real estate decreased $314 thousand.

The most significant increases to noninterest expense in the comparison include salaries and employee benefits and data processing and communication expense. Salaries and related payroll taxes were up $161 thousand or 2.7%. Employee benefits increased $85 thousand or 5.8%, mainly due to an increase in the actuary-determined postretirement benefit expense.The Company had an average of 508 full time equivalent employees during the quarter, down from 514 a year earlier. The increase in data processing and communication expense was led by higher costs related to technology updates in the normal course of business.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the current quarter, an increase of $156 thousand or 12.2% compared to $1.3 million for the same quarter of 2014. The effective income tax rates were 27.3% and 23.8% for the current and year-ago quarters, respectively. The prior-year third quarter included tax-free revenue related to a death benefit from company-owned life insurance which lowered the effective tax rate.

First Nine Months of 2015 Compared to First Nine Months of 2014

The Company reported net income of $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $893 thousand or 7.3% compared with net income of $12.3 million for 2014. On a per common share basis, net income for the current nine months was $1.47, an increase of $.03 or 2.1% compared to $1.44 reported a year earlier. Per common share net income was positively impacted $.15 by the Company’s redemption of its outstanding preferred shares, which decreased preferred dividends by $1.2 million and resulted in an increase in net income available to common shareholders. The preferred share redemptions took place in three separate transactions of 10,000 shares each, beginning in the second quarter of 2014 and concluding in June 2015.

Selected income statement amounts and related data are presented in the table below.

bp – basis points.

The $893 thousand decrease in net income is attributed primarily to lower net interest income of $1.3 million or 3.2%, and a decrease in noninterest income of $868 thousand or 5.0%. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.2 million or 2.8%. Income tax expense was down $149 thousand or 3.4%. Further information related to the more significant components making up the decrease in net income follows.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $39.5 million for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $1.3 million or 3.2% compared to $40.9 million for the first nine months of 2014. The decrease in net interest income resulted from a decline in interest income of $2.6 million or 5.4%, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $1.3 million or 16.5%. Interest income on loans and investment securities decreased $1.8 million or 4.6% and $896 thousand or 8.3%, respectively. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.1 million or 31.6%.

The decrease to interest income on loans resulted primarily from a decline in average balances outstanding, which offset a slight increase in the average rate in the comparison. The decrease in loan volume has been accelerated by early payoffs of several larger balance credits that were refinanced by competitors with terms below the Company’s underwriting standards. In recent years, the Company has focused on strengthening its credit underwriting standards, which has improved the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio. The average rate earned on loans for the current nine months was boosted $482 thousand from accretion related to a loan purchased at a discount during the first quarter of 2015. Accretion was recognized over the contractual life of the purchased loan, which ended in June 2015. There is no further accretion to be recognized.

39

Interest income on investment securities decreased mainly due to lower rates, partially offset by an increase in volume. In periods when quality loan demand is low, available funds are invested in lower yielding investment securities or cash equivalents at then-current market rates, or otherwise used to manage liquidity, such as for deposit outflows or for the repayment of long-term debt. Average investment securities increased $18.3 million or 2.9% from the year-ago comparable period.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was driven primarily by rate declines and, to a lesser extent, lower average outstanding balances. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to lower interest on time deposits.

Overall declines in interest income on loans and interest paid on deposits are the result of a slow growing economy and low interest rate environment, competitive pressures, and the Company’s strategy of being more selective in pricing its loans and deposits. The goal of this strategy is to improve credit quality, net interest income, overall profitability, and the capital position.

The Company is generally earning and paying less interest from its earning assets and funding sources as the average rates earned and paid have decreased. This includes repricing of variable and floating rate assets and liabilities that have reset to overall lower amounts since their previous repricing date as well as activity related to new earning assets and funding sources in a low interest rate environment. The Company continues to reprice its higher-rate maturing time deposits downward to lower market rates or allowing them to mature without renewal, as liquidity has been adequate.

The net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 3.30% and 3.38% for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net interest spread was 3.15% and 3.22% in the comparison. As discussed above, interest income for the current nine months includes discount accretion related to a loan purchased during the first quarter of 2015. There is no further accretion to be recognized on this loan; therefore, the Company expects its net interest margin to remain relatively flat or trend downward in the near term according to internal modeling using expectations about future market interest rates, the maturity structure of the Company’s earning assets and liabilities, and other factors. Future results could be significantly different than expectations.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.7 million and $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans was 1.21% at September 30, 2015 compared to 1.50% and 1.65% at year-end 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The credit to the provision for loan losses is attributed to continuing improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a decline in outstanding loans. The Company had net loan recoveries of $16 thousand in the current period compared to net charge-offs of $2.1 million a year earlier.

Nonperforming loans, early stage delinquencies, and watch list loans have each declined compared to a year earlier. Historical loss rates have also improved as lower recent charge-off activity has replaced the higher levels experienced in the early part of the Company’s rolling quarterly four year look-back period used when evaluating the allowance for loan losses. While historical loss rates are expected to continue improving throughout 2015 due to elevated charge-offs falling out of the look-back period, this expected improvement may not necessarily correlate to a lower provision for loan losses. Other qualitative factors, such as changes in loan volume, the overall makeup of the portfolio, economic conditions, and other risk factors applied to historical loss rates may offset to some degree the impact of decreases to the historical loss rates. For further information about improvements in the Company’s overall credit quality, please refer to the discussion under the captions “Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Nonperforming Loans” that follows.

N/M – Not meaningful.

The decrease in noninterest income was driven mainly by lower allotment processing fees, lower income related to the Company’s equity interest in its tax credit partnerships, lower income from company-owned life insurance, and lower service charges and fees on deposits.

The decrease in allotment processing fees is a result of lower processing volume related to the U.S. Department of Defense policy restrictions that went into effect on January 1, 2015. As previously disclosed by the Company, the new policy restricts active duty service members from entering into certain types of allotment arrangements. These restrictions have resulted in lower processing volumes. While the Company continues to diversify its allotment customer base and product offerings, the future impact on processing revenue remains uncertain and challenging to predict.

The Company recorded income of $358 thousand related to its tax credit partnerships in the year-ago period compared with none for the current period. The Company liquidated its interest in one of the partnerships in December 2014 and the carrying value of the remaining two is zero. Income from company-owned life insurance decreased due to a tax-free death benefit that exceeded the cash surrender value by $276 thousand in the third quarter of 2014. Service charges and fees on deposits decreased primarily due to lower overdraft fees of $340 thousand or 9.8% as a result of volume declines.

The net loss on investment securities in the prior year includes $95 thousand attributed to a municipal bond where the issuer participated in the Build America Bond (“BAB”) program. BAB is a federal government program whereby the U.S. Treasury pays a direct subsidy to the issuer to support interest costs of qualified bonds. Federal budget sequestration reduced the subsidy to the issuer, triggering an extraordinary redemption feature related to these bonds. The issuer exercised their extraordinary redemption privilege. Since the carrying value of the bond exceeded the par value due to unamortized premium, the Company recorded a loss on this investment.

The Company recorded a net gain on the sale of mortgage loans of $558 thousand, up $215 thousand or 62.7%. The volume of mortgage loans sold decreased $1.1 million in the comparison; however, the net gain for the prior year includes a nonrecurring loss of $92 thousand, made up of a $46 thousand loss related to a group of loans reclassified from held for sale to held for investment and a group of loans sold for a loss of $46 thousand. The increase in nondeposit service charges, commissions, and fees was driven by higher interchange fees of $133 thousand or 6.1% due to higher transaction volume.

Noninterest Expense

The components of noninterest expense are as follows for the periods indicated:

(Dollars in thousands) Nine Months Ended September 30,	2015		2014		Increase (Decrease)			%

Total noninterest expense	$	43,265	$	44,504	$	(1,239	)		(2.8	)%

The most significant components impacting noninterest expense include a decrease related to repossessed real estate and a decrease in deposit insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in data processing and communication expense.

The decrease in expenses related to repossessed real estate properties was driven by lower impairment charges of $1.5 million or 71.3% and lower development, maintenance, and operating costs of $1.0 million. The prior year expenses include costs incurred to increase the marketability of two real estate construction properties and to better position them for sale. The two properties were subsequently sold. The current year period includes a net loss on the sale of properties of $129 thousand, a decrease of $417 thousand or 76.4% compared with a loss of $546 thousand in the prior period. The reduction in deposit insurance expense is due to the improvement in the risk ratings at the Company’s subsidiary banks, which is used in the determination of the amount payable.

Salaries and employee benefits were up $1.7 million or 7.8% in the comparison. Salaries and related payroll taxes increased $885 thousand or 4.9%. Employee benefits increased $842 thousand or 21.0%, mainly due to claims activity related to the Company’s self-funded health insurance plan and an increase in the actuary-determined postretirement benefit expense. The Company had an average of 510 full time equivalent employees for the nine-month period, down from 512 a year earlier. Data processing and communication expense increased mainly due to higher costs related to technology updates in the normal course of business.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $4.2 million for the current nine months, a decrease of $149 thousand or 3.4% compared to $4.4 million for the prior year. The effective income tax rates were 27.0% and 26.2% for the current and year-ago periods, respectively.The prior-year third quarter included tax-free revenue related to a death benefit from company-owned life insurance which lowered the effective tax rate.

44

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015, a decrease of $17.9 million or 1.0% from year-end 2014. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.9 million or 6.9%. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) and investment securities decreased $9.1 million or 28.4% and $17.9 million or 2.8%, respectively. Loans edged up $3.2 million or 0.3%.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents from year-end is a result of the Company’s overall net funding position, which includes a decline in investment securities of $17.9 million or 2.8% and an increase in short-term borrowings of $6.2 million or 21.6%. The Company also received several larger-balance temporary deposits at quarter-end that totaled $7.8 million. While loans outstanding increased in the comparison, generating high quality loan demand remains a challenge. OREO continued to trend downward primarily due to property sales, which outpaced new additions.

Total liabilities were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2015, a decrease of $18.5 million or 1.1% compared to year-end 2014. The decrease in total liabilities is mainly attributed to the reduction in total deposits. Interest bearing deposits are down $40.0 million or 3.7%, partially offset by an increase in noninterest bearing deposits of $9.3 million or 3.2%. The decrease in interest bearing deposits was driven by lower time deposits of $55.5 million or 14.0%.

Shareholders’ equity was $174 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $649 thousand or 0.4% compared to $173 million at year-end 2014. Net income increased shareholders’ equity $11.4 million, which was partially offset by the redemption of the final portion of the Company’s preferred stock in the amount of $10.0 million during the current-year second quarter. Other comprehensive loss of $545 thousand also contributed to the decrease in shareholders’ equity. Other comprehensive loss is made up of a $1.2 million decrease in the after-tax amount related to the Company’s liability for postretirement medical benefits plan, partially offset by a $661 thousand increase in the after-tax unrealized gain related to the available for sale investment securities portfolio.

Temporary Investments

Temporary investments consist of interest bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, and money market mutual funds. The Company uses these funds in the management of liquidity and interest rate sensitivity or as a short-term holding prior to subsequent movement into other investments with higher yields or for other purposes. At September 30, 2015, temporary investments were $87.1 million, an increase of $13.0 million or 17.5% from year-end 2014.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is comprised primarily of residential mortgage-backed securities, tax-exempt securities of states and political subdivisions, and debt securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies. Substantially all of the Company’s investment securities are designated as available for sale. Principal payment received on mortgage-backed securities and proceeds from maturing or called investment securities not needed to fund higher-earning loans are either reinvested in similar investments or used to manage liquidity, such as for deposit outflows or other payment obligations. Total investment securities had a carrying amount of $612 million at September 30, 2015, a decrease of $17.9 million or 2.8% compared to $630 million at year-end 2014.

The decrease in investment securities was driven by net maturities, calls, and sales of $108 million in the aggregate, which outpaced purchases totaling $92.6 million. Net premium amortization of $3.3 million also made up part of the decrease, partially offset by an increase in the market value adjustment related to the available for sale portfolio of $1.0 million. The increase in the market value adjustment of the available for sale securities portfolio is attributed to higher bond prices related to longer term maturity periods. Yields for the five, ten and 30-year Treasury securities decreased 32 basis points, 15 basis points, and 10 basis points, respectively, since year-end 2014. Generally, as market interest rates decrease, the value of fixed rate investments increase.

Investment securities include single-issuer trust preferred capital securities of a U.S. based global financial services firm. The carrying value of this investment at September 30, 2015 was $5.0 million, which includes an unrealized loss of $854 thousand. At year-end 2014, these securities had an unrealized loss of $354 thousand.

The Company’s investment in the single-issuer trust preferred capital securities continue to perform according to contractual terms and continue to be rated as investment grade by major rating agencies. The issuer of the securities announced in the first quarter of 2015 an increase in per share common dividend payments and authorization of a common equity repurchase plan. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company believes these securities are not impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors, but rather the unrealized loss is primarily attributed to continuing global economic issues and market volatility. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities and that the fair values of these securities will recover as they approach their maturity dates.

Loans

Loans were $935 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $3.2 million or 0.3% compared to year-end 2014. The Company has had two consecutive quarterly increases in loans, which totaled $7.8 million in the aggregate. High quality loan demand remains soft, and the Company continues a measured and cautious approach to loan originations while working to further reduce its level of nonperforming assets in a slow growth economy. Generating high quality loan demand continues to be a challenge, and the increase in loans occurred despite early payoffs of several larger balance credits. These early payoffs were primarily the result of several larger credits that were refinanced by competitors with terms below the Company’s underwriting standards. Loan payments include $3.8 million related to nonaccrual loans during 2015.

46

The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized in the table below.

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		%			Amount		%
Real estate mortgage – construction and land development	$	107,130		11.5	%	$	97,045		10.4	%
Real estate mortgage – residential		355,258		38.0			361,022		38.7
Real estate mortgage – farmland and other commercial enterprises		368,870		39.4			375,277		40.3

Lease financing		25		-			158		-
Total	$	935,145		100.0	%	$	931,943		100.0	%

On an average basis, loans represented 56.4% of earning assets for the current nine month period, a decrease of 192 basis points compared to 58.3% for the year 2014. The decrease in the level of loans as a percentage of earning assets reflects the overall lack of high quality loan demand for which the Company desires. As loan demand changes, available funds are reallocated between temporary investments or investment securities, which typically involve a decrease in credit risk and result in lower yields.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be adequate by management to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio. The calculation of the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment in order to reflect credit losses specifically identified in the Company’s loan portfolio as well as management's best estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by net charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses generally fluctuate as the relative level of nonperforming and impaired loans vary. However, other factors impact the amount of the allowance for loan losses such as the Company’s historical loss experience, the borrowers’ financial condition, general economic conditions, and other qualitative risk factors as described in greater detail in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

The allowance for loan losses was $11.3 million or 1.21% of outstanding loans at September 30, 2015. This compares to $14.0 million or 1.50% of net loans outstanding at year-end 2014. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of net loans outstanding from the prior year-end is resulted primarily from a credit to the provision for loan losses of $2.7 million for the current nine-month period. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses was 34.9% at September 30, 2015 compared to 38.9% at year-end 2014. The relatively low amount of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans is due mainly to the makeup of nonperforming loans.

Nonperforming loans include $24.2 million of accruing restructured loans, which represents 75% of total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2015. At year-end 2014, this amount was $24.4 million or 68%. The increase in restructured loans as a percentage of nonperforming loans was driven by the overall decrease in total nonperforming loans. The allowance attributed to credits that are restructured with lower interest rates generally represents the difference in the present value of future cash flows calculated at the loan’s original effective interest rate and the new lower rate. This typically results in a reserve for loan losses that is less severe than for other loans that are collateral dependent. The allowance specifically allocated to impaired loans, which includes restructured loans, was $2.8 million or 7.2% and $3.4 million or 7.7% of such loans at September 30, 2015 and year-end, respectively. As a percentage of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, the allowance for loan losses was 138% and 121% at the current quarter-end and year-end 2014, respectively.

47

The overall improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio experienced during 2014 continued during the first nine months of 2015. Certain credit quality measures are summarized in the table that follows for the periods indicated. Several of these measures are at the best level in the last three years.

¹Based on quarter-end balances over the previous three years.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it is determined that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Restructured loans occur when a lender, because of economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulty, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Restructured loans typically include a reduction of the stated interest rate or an extension of the maturity date, among other possible concessions. The Company gives careful consideration to identifying which of its challenged credits merit a restructuring of terms that it believes will result in maximum loan repayments and mitigate possible losses. Cash flow projections are carefully scrutinized prior to restructuring any credits; past due credits are typically not granted concessions.

Nonperforming loans were $32.4 million at September 30, 2015, a decrease of $3.6 million or 10.0% compared to $35.9 million at year-end 2014. Nonaccrual loans and accruing restructured loans decreased $3.3 million or 28.7% and $274 thousand or 1.1%, respectively. Accruing restructured loans make up $24.2 million or 75% of the Company’s nonperforming loans at September 30, 2015 compared with $8.2 million or 25% related to nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans have decreased to the lowest level since the second quarter of 2007.

The Company’s comprehensive risk-grading and loan review program includes a review of loans to assess risk and assign a grade to those loans, a review of delinquencies, and an assessment of loans for needed charge-offs or placement on nonaccrual status. The Company had loans in the amount of $56.9 million and $64.7 million at September 30, 2015 and year-end 2014, respectively, which were performing but considered potential problem loans and are not included in the nonperforming loan totals in the table above. These loans, however, are considered in establishing an appropriate allowance for loan losses. The balance outstanding for potential problem credits is mainly attributed to lingering weaknesses in the overall economy which continue to strain many of the Company’s customers. Potential problem loans include a variety of borrowers and are secured primarily by various types of real estate including commercial, construction properties, and residential real estate developments. At September 30, 2015, the five largest potential problem credits were $12.3 million in the aggregate compared to $13.9 million at year-end 2014.

Potential problem loans are identified on the Company’s watch list and consist of loans that require close monitoring by management. Credits may be considered as a potential problem loan for reasons that are temporary or correctable, such as for a deficiency in loan documentation or absence of current financial statements of the borrower. Potential problem loans may also include credits where adverse circumstances are identified that may affect the borrower’s ability to comply with the contractual terms of the loan. Other factors which might indicate the existence of a potential problem loan include the delinquency of a scheduled loan payment, deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition identified in a review of periodic financial statements, a decrease in the value of the collateral securing the loan, or a change in the economic environment in which the borrower operates. Certain loans on the Company’s watch list are also considered impaired and specific allowances related to these loans are established in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance.

Other Real Estate

OREO includes real estate properties acquired by the Company through, or in lieu of, actual foreclosure. At September 30, 2015, OREO was $22.9 million, a decrease of $9.1 million or 28.4% compared to $32.0 million at year-end 2014. The decrease was driven by sales activity, including three larger-balance residential real estate development properties that sold for $3.5 million, and three larger-balance commercial real estate properties sold for $3.1 million. OREO has declined $29.7 million or 56.5% from its peak of $52.6 million, which occurred at year-end 2012. A summary of OREO activity for 2015 follows.

The decrease in total end of period deposits was driven by lower time deposits and is primarily attributed to the Company’s overall high liquidity position and strategy to lower overall funding costs, mainly by allowing higher-rate certificates of deposit to roll off or to reprice at lower interest rates. Many of those balances have been rolled into either demand or savings accounts by the customer. As rates have decreased throughout the deposit portfolio, many customers have opted to transfer funds from maturing time deposits or investments from other sources into short-term demand or savings accounts. The Company has not sought out or accepted brokered deposits in the past nor does it have plans to do so in the future.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowed funds were $204 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $6.6 million or 3.3% from year-end 2014. Short-term borrowings were $34.8 million at quarter-end. This represents an increase of $6.2 million or 21.6%, which is attributed to an increase in repurchase agreements with commercial depositors in the normal course of business. Short-term borrowings primarily represent funds that have been swept out of the deposit accounts of certain qualifying commercial customers into repurchase agreements and accounted for as secured borrowings by the Company. Long-term borrowings were relatively unchanged at $169 million.

LIQUIDITY

The primary source of funds for the Parent Company is the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks, balances of cash and cash equivalents maintained, and borrowings from nonaffiliated sources. Primary uses of cash include the payment of dividends to its preferred and common shareholders, injecting capital into subsidiaries, paying interest expense on borrowings, and payments for general operating expenses.

Payment of dividends to the Parent Company by its subsidiary banks is subject to certain regulatory restrictions as set forth in national and state banking laws and regulations.A depository institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. The federal banking agencies may prevent the payment of a dividend if they determine that the payment would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements that provide bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Capital ratios at each of the Company’s four subsidiary banks exceed regulatory established “well-capitalized” status at September 30, 2015 under the prompt corrective action regulatory framework.

The Parent Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.8 million and $32.1 million at September 30, 2015 and year-end 2014, respectively. Significant cash receipts by the Parent Company for 2015 include dividend payments from its bank subsidiaries of $7.4 million, return of capital amounts from nonbank subsidiaries of $1.4 million, and management fees from subsidiaries of $1.9 million. Significant cash payments by the Parent Company in 2015 include $10.0 million to redeem the final portion of its outstanding preferred stock, $2.2 million for salaries, payroll taxes, and employee benefits, $641 thousand for the payment of interest expense on subordinated notes payable, and $508 thousand for the payment of dividends on preferred stock.

The Company's objective as it relates to liquidity is to ensure that its subsidiary banks have funds available to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability. In order to maintain a proper level of liquidity, the subsidiary banks have several sources of funds available on a daily basis. For assets, those sources of funds include liquid assets that are readily marketable or that can be pledged, or which mature in the near future. These assets primarily include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investment securities, and cash flow generated by the repayment of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. For liabilities, sources of funds primarily include the subsidiary banks' core deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other borrowings, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are generally a predictable source of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition in our local markets.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $228 million of additional borrowing capacity under various FHLB, federal funds, and other borrowing agreements. However, there is no guarantee that these sources of funds will continue to be available to the Company, or that current borrowings can be refinanced upon maturity, although the Company is not aware of any events or uncertainties that are likely to cause a decrease in the Company’s liquidity from these sources. The Company’s borrowing capacity was $224 million at year-end 2014.

51

For the longer term, the liquidity position is managed by balancing the maturity structure of the balance sheet. This process allows for an orderly flow of funds over an extended period of time. The Company’s Asset and Liability Management Committees, at both the Parent Company and bank subsidiary level, meet regularly to monitor the composition of the balance sheet to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and liquidity.

Liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and available for sale investment securities. At September 30, 2015, consolidated liquid assets were $716 million, a decrease of $10.9 million or 1.5% compared to $727 million at year-end 2014. Although liquid assets decreased in the comparison, the Company’s liquidity position remains elevated mainly as a result of the Company’s overall net funding position and weak, high-quality loan demand. The overall funding position of the Company changes as loan demand, deposit levels, and other sources and uses of funds fluctuate.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.9 million and $24.2 million for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. This represents a decrease of $2.4 million or 9.7%, led by a decrease of $3.4 million related to net mortgage loans originated for sale activity. Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $19.6 million and $39.3 million for 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $19.7 million decrease was primarily driven by loan activity. The Company had net cash outflow representing overall principal advances in the current period of $3.8 million compared with net principal collections a year earlier in the amount of $34.6 million. Proceeds from the sale of OREO increased $2.4 million in the comparison. Net cash inflows related to investment securities were $15.8 million for 2015, compared to net cash outflows of $630 thousand a year earlier.

Net cash used in financing activities was $34.6 million for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $26.3 million compared with $60.9 million a year earlier. The decrease was driven primarily by deposit activity. Deposits decreased $30.7 million and $45.1 million for 2015 and 2014, respectively. For 2015, the Company had net proceeds from long-term borrowings of $391 thousand compared to net repayments of $8.1 million for 2014.

Commitments to extend credit are entered into with customers in the ordinary course of providing traditional banking services and are considered in addressing the Company’s liquidity management. The Company does not expect these commitments to significantly affect the liquidity position in future periods. The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options, or similar instruments.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity was $174 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $649 thousand or 0.4% compared to $173 million at year-end 2014. Net income increased shareholders’ equity $11.4 million, which was partially offset by the redemption of the remaining portion of the Company’s preferred stock in the amount of $10.0 million during the second quarter and other comprehensive loss of $545 thousand. The other comprehensive loss was made up of a $1.2 million decrease in the after-tax amount related to the Company’s liability for postretirement medical benefits plan, partially offset by a $661 thousand increase in the after-tax unrealized gain related to the available for sale investment securities portfolio. The decrease related to postretirement medical benefits reflects changes in actuarial assumptions attributed to plan valuation. The increase in the unrealized gain on available for sale investment securities correlates to the decrease in long term market interest rates at the end of the period compared with year-end 2014. As market interest rates decrease, the value of fixed rate investments generally increases.

On January 9, 2009, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series A, no par value cumulative perpetual preferred stock. The Company redeemed 20,000 of the preferred shares during 2014. On June 8, 2015, the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares at the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per share, plus accrued dividends of $58 thousand. There was no additional debt or equity issued by the Company in connection with any of the shares redeemed. 

At September 30, 2015, the Company’s tangible capital ratio was 9.83%, an increase of 15 basis points compared to 9.68% at year-end 2014. The increase in the tangible capital ratio was driven primarily by a reduction in tangible assets of $17.5 million or 1.0% and, to a lesser degree, a $986 thousand or 0.6% increase in tangible equity. The tangible capital ratio represents tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets, which excludes intangible assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets, which further excludes outstanding preferred stock, was 9.83% and 9.12% at September 30, 2015 and year-end 2014, respectively. This represents an increase of 71 basis points in the comparison. The increase in the tangible common equity ratio was driven by an increase in tangible common equity of $11.0 million, primarily made up of net income of $11.4 million.

In July 2013, U.S. banking regulators adopted final rules related to standards on bank capital adequacy and liquidity (commonly referred to as “Basel III”). The new rules were effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions extending through January 1, 2019. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to risk-weightings of certain assets, implementation of a new capital conservation buffer in excess of the required minimum (which is set to be phased in beginning in 2016), and changes to how regulatory capital is defined. The Company and each of its bank subsidiaries meet the minimum capital ratios and a fully phased-in capital conservation buffer under the new rules.

Consistent with the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the Company’s goal is to maintain capital ratios well above the regulatory minimum requirements. The capital ratios of the Company and its subsidiary banks are presented in the following table for the dates indicated.

¹Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-based, Tier 1 Risk-based, and Total Risk-based Capital ratios are computed by dividing a bank’s Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 or Total Capital, as defined by regulation, by a risk-weighted sum of the bank’s assets, with the risk weighting determined by general standards established by regulation. The safest assets (e.g., government obligations) are assigned a weighting of 0% with riskier assets receiving higher ratings (e.g., ordinary commercial loans are assigned a weighting of 100%).

²Tier 1 Leverage ratio is computed by dividing a bank’s Tier 1 Capital, as defined by regulation, by its total quarterly average assets.

Regulatory Agreements

The agreement originally entered into during 2013 between the Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. and its primary regulators was terminated during the third quarter of 2015 as a result of continued satisfactory compliance and overall improvement in financial condition. This agreement is summarized in Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q. The agreement is discussed in significantly greater detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under the caption “Capital Resources” in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The agreement originally entered into during 2009 between the United Bank & Trust Company and its primary regulators was terminated during the first quarter of 2015 as a result of continued satisfactory compliance.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

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

At September 30, 2015, the model indicated that if rates were to gradually increase by 75 basis points during the remainder of the calendar year, then net interest income and net income would increase 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively for the year ending December 31, 2015 when compared to the forecasted results for the most likely rate environment. The model indicated that if rates were to gradually decrease by 75 basis points over the same period, then net interest income and net income would decrease 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

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

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there were no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings 

As of September 30, 2015, there were various pending legal actions and proceedings against the Company arising from the normal course of business and in which claims for damages are asserted. It is the opinion of management, after discussion with legal counsel, that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and legal actions will not have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During 2014, the Company changed the form of payment to its directors for board meeting and quarterly fees from 100% cash to 50% in cash and 50% in Company common stock. The shares are issued as part of a plan adopted by the board of directors. Each director has elected to participate by entering into an agreement with the Company to accept common stock in lieu of cash for 50% of the director’s board meeting and quarterly fees. As the shares are only issued to directors as part of a plan approved by the board, the shares are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), as a sale not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. Attendance for committee meetings continue to be paid completely in cash. As employee directors are not paid director’s fees, only non-employee directors receive stock under this plan.

The Company issued 638 shares and 2,523 shares of common stock to its non-employee directors under this plan in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as compensation for director fees of $18 thousand and $64 thousand for those respective periods. The cash retained by the Company by issuing common stock in lieu of paying cash is used for general corporate purposes. There are no brokers involved in the issuance of stock to directors and no commissions or other broker fees are paid.

At various times, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. No stated expiration dates have been established under any of the previous authorizations. There were no shares of common stock repurchased by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. There are 84,971 shares that may still be purchased under the various authorizations, although no shares have been purchased since 2008.

1.2 REGISTERED OFFICE. The registered office of the Corporation may be, but need not be, identical with its principal office in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The address of the registered office may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE II

SHAREHOLDERS

2.1 ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation on the 2nd Tuesday in May of each year, at such time as the Chief Executive Officer may designate. The purpose of such meetings shall be the election of directors in accordance with Article VI of the Articles of Incorporation and such other business as may properly come before it. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated for an annual meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as may be practicable.

2.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Corporation's Board of Directors, or by the holders of not less than one-third (33-1/3%) of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, who have demanded such special meeting in writing delivered to the Corporation's Secretary.

2.3 PLACE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS. The Board of Directors may designate any place within or without the Commonwealth of Kentucky as the place for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders may include a designation of any place, either within or without the Commonwealth of Kentucky, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is properly made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be at the registered office of the Corporation in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

2.4 NOTICE OF ANNUAL OR SPECIAL MEETINGS. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting of shareholders and, in case of a special meeting of shareholders, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary, or the officer or persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail in a sealed envelope addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

2.5 MEETINGS BY CONSENT OF ALL SHAREHOLDERS. If all the shareholders shall meet at any time and place, either within or without the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and no shareholder objects at such meeting to holding the meeting or transacting business therein, such meeting shall be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting, any corporate action may be taken.

2.6 WAIVER AND CONSENT TO MEETINGS OF LESS THAN ALL SHAREHOLDERS. If a shareholder meeting shall occur without all shareholders in attendance, a prior or subsequent written waiver of notice or consent to the holding of such meeting by the absent shareholders shall be equivalent to the call and giving of any requisite notice, and such meeting shall be valid without call or notice, and corporate action may be taken at such meeting.

2.7 CLOSING TRANSFER BOOKS AND FIXING OF A RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may close its stock transfer books for a period not exceeding seventy (70) days immediately prior to the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend or for the allotment of rights, or to the date when any exchange or reclassification of shares shall be effective, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any such dividend or to receive any such allotment of rights, or to exercise any rights in respect of any exchange or reclassification of shares; and the shareholders of record on such record date shall be the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, in the event of an exchange or reclassification of shares, as the case may be. If the transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the day before the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed, or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted or such other action is taken, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the record date for the determination of the shareholders of the Corporation and the number of shares owned by them for all of the purposes set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. When a determination of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

2

2.8 VOTING RECORD. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer book for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order by voting group, with the address of, and the number of shares held by, each shareholder. Such list shall be produced and be available for inspection at the corporation's principal office beginning five (5) business days before the meeting for which the list was prepared. Such list shall also be available at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole course of the meeting.

2.9 QUORUM. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on a particular matter, or a majority of the shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders. If a quorum of shareholders is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number of voting by classes is required by the Kentucky Business Corporation Act or by the Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

2.10 PROXIES. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy, unless coupled with an interest and expressly made irrevocable, may be revoked in writing at any time. The effective time of such revocation shall be the time the Secretary of the Corporation receives the written notice of revocation.

2.11 VOTING OF SHARES. Each outstanding share of common stock authorized by the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation to have voting power shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. The voting rights, if any, of classes of shares other than voting common stock shall be as set forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or by appropriate legal action of the Board of Directors.

2.12 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS.

(a) Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by that corporation's president or by proxy appointed by him or her or by such other officer, agent or proxy as the by-laws of such other corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such other corporation may determine.

(b) Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her without a transfer of such shares into his or her name.

(c) Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

3

(d) Where shares are held jointly by two or more co-owners or fiduciaries, if only one such fiduciary votes, his or her act shall be presumed by the Corporation to be the vote of such co-owners or fiduciaries, if such fiduciary appears to be voting on behalf of all the co-owners or fiduciaries. Where shares are held jointly by three (3) or more fiduciaries, the will of the majority of such fiduciaries shall control the manner of voting or the giving of a proxy unless the instrument or order appointing the fiduciaries otherwise directs. Where, in any case, fiduciaries are equally divided upon the manner of voting shares jointly held by them, any court of competent jurisdiction may, upon petition filed by any of the fiduciaries, or by any beneficiary, appoint an additional person to act with the fiduciaries in determining the manner in which the shares shall be voted upon the particular questions as to which the fiduciaries are divided.

(e) A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter, the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

(f) The Secretary of the Corporation may demand written proof that the person asserting the right to vote shares pursuant to this Section 2.12 holds the position he or she claims to hold and has been properly authorized to vote the shares he or she represents. Such proof, if demanded, shall be presented prior to the voting of such shares by such person.

2.13 VOTING FOR DIRECTORS. Corporation directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present. A "plurality" means that the individuals with the largest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election.

2.14 ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action required to be taken, or which may be taken, at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

3.1 GENERAL POWERS. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors.

3.2 NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be twelve (12), who shall be divided into three (3) classes, and be elected and hold office as provided in Article VI of the Articles of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he or she is elected or until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, whichever period is longer. No person who has attained the age of 72 shall be eligible to be elected or appointed as a director of the Corporation; provided, however, there shall be no age limitation on the eligibility of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation to be elected or appointed as a director of the Corporation. The foregoing shall not prevent any director elected or appointed to such position prior to attaining age 72 from serving the remainder of his or her then current term if he or she reaches the age of 72 during his or her term. The Board of Directors shall have authority to amend the By-Laws to prescribe other qualifications for directors.

4

3.3 REMOVAL AND RESIGNATIONS. At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed, with cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed, without cause, by a vote of the holders of eighty (80%) percent of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Any member of the Board of Directors may resign from the Board of Directors at any time by giving written notice to the President or Secretary of the Corporation, and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

3.4 REGULAR MEETINGS. A regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders. The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or without the Commonwealth of Kentucky, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

3.5 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special Meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the President or, if the Corporation has more than one director, any two directors. All special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or such other place as may be specified in the notice of the meeting.

3.6 MANNER OF CONDUCTING BOARD MEETINGS. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may permit any or all directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting. Directors may also take action by the means described in KRS 271B.8-210.

3.7 NOTICE. Notice of the date, time and place of any special meeting shall be given at least two (2) days prior thereto by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each director at his or her business address, or by telegram. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a director at, or participation in, any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting (at the beginning of the meeting) to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

3.8 QUORUM. A majority of the number of directors fixed by, or determined in accordance with, Section 3.2 hereof shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that, if less than a majority of the directors are present at said meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

5

3.9 VOTING. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation.

A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors where action is taken shall be deemed to have assented to the action taken unless:

(a) He or she objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his or her arrival) to holding it or transacting business at the meeting;

(b) His or her dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or

(c) He or she delivers written notice of his or her dissent or abstention for the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention shall not be available to a director who votes in favor of the action.

3.10 VACANCIES. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors. If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all directors remaining in office. If the vacancy was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group shall be entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.

A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

3.11 COMPENSATION. By resolution of the Board of Directors, each director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and may be paid a stated stipend as director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, or both. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

3.12 ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors.

6

3.13 CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. The Board of Directors may appoint one of its members Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may also appoint one of its members as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, and such individual shall serve in the absence of the Chairman and perform such additional duties as may be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors.

3.14 COMMITTEES.  The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board, may designate from among its members such committees as from time to time it may consider necessary or appropriate to conduct the affairs of the Corporation, which may include an executive committee.  Each such committee shall have such power and authority as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, legally establish for it.  The tenure and qualifications of the members of each committee, the procedures by which resignations and removals of members of such committee shall be acted upon or accomplished and the stipends or fixed sums for attendance at meetings shall be fixed by the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors relative to such matters.  Unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution to the contrary respecting any committee: meetings of a committee may be called by any member of a committee or the President upon the same notice (or waiver) required for meetings of the full Board of Directors, a majority of the members of each committee shall constitute a quorum for conducting business, the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee, the committee may conduct meetings in the manner permitted by Section 3.6 of these Bylaws, and the committee may take action by unanimous written consent of all its members in the same manner as the full Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IV

OFFICERS

4.1 OFFICERS. The officers of the Corporation shall be a President, one or more Vice-Presidents a Secretary and a Treasurer, each of whom shall be elected by the Board of Directors. Such other officers and assistant officers as may be deemed necessary may be elected or appointed by the Board of Directors. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person, except the offices of President and Secretary may not be held by the same person.

4.2 ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE. The officers of the Corporation shall be elected by the Board of Directors at the first and, thereafter at each, annual meeting of the Board of Directors. If the election of officers shall not be held at any such meeting, such election shall be held as soon thereafter as is convenient. Vacancies may be filled or new offices created and filled at any meeting of the Board of Directors. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

4.3 REMOVAL AND RESIGNATIONS.

11

8.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY CORPORATION.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any Officer or Director who is made a Party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was an Officer or Director if:

(1) Such Officer or Director conducted himself in good faith; and

(2) Such Officer or Director reasonably believed:

(i) In the case of conduct in his official capacity with the Corporation, that his conduct was in the best interests of the Corporation; and

(ii) In all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; and

(3) In the case of any criminal Proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

(c) Indemnification shall be made against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable Expenses, including legal Expenses, actually incurred by such Officer or Director in connection with the Proceeding, except that if the Proceeding was by or in the right of the Corporation, indemnification shall be made only against such reasonable Expenses and shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which the Officer or Director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contenders or its equivalent, shall not, by itself, be determinative that the Officer or Director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 8.2.

(d)      (1) Reasonable Expenses incurred by an Officer or Director as a Party to a Proceeding with respect to which indemnity is to be provided under this Section 8.2 shall be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding provided:

(i) The Corporation receives (I) a written affirmation by the Officer or Director of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 8.2, and (II) the Corporation receives a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Officer or Director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she has not met such standard of conduct; and

(ii) The Corporation's Board of Directors (or other appropriate decision maker for the Corporation) determines that the facts then known to the Board of Directors (or decision maker) would not preclude indemnification under Kentucky law.

12

(2) The undertaking required herein shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Officer or Director but shall not require any security and shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Officer or Director to make repayment.

(3) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this Section 8.2(d) shall be made in the manner specified in Section 8.2(e) of these By-Laws.

(e)      (1) The Corporation shall not indemnify an officer or Director under this Section 8.2 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the Officer or Director is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in this Section 8.2.

(2) Such determination shall be made:

(i) By the Corporation's Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time Parties to the Proceeding;

(ii) If a quorum cannot be obtained under Section 8.2(e)(2)(i) of these By-Laws, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Corporation's Board of Directors (in which designation directors who are Parties may participate), consisting solely of two (2) or more directors not at the time Parties to the Proceeding; or

(iii) By special legal counsel:

(I) Selected by the Corporation's Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in Sections 8.2(e)(2)(i) and (ii) of these By-laws; or

(II)If a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under Section 8.2(e)(2)(i) of these By-laws and a committee cannot be designated under Section 8.2(e)(2)(ii) of these By-laws, selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which selection directors who are Parties may participate); or

(iv) By the shareholders, provided that shares owned by or voted under the control of Directors who are at the time parties to the Proceeding shall not be voted on the determination.

(3) Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of Expenses shall be made by those entitled under Section 8.2(e)(2)(iii) of these By-laws to select counsel.

13

8.3 FURTHER INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding any limitation imposed by Section 8.2 of these By-laws or elsewhere and in addition to the indemnification set forth in Section 8.2 of these By-laws, the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by law, may agree by contract or otherwise to indemnify any Officer or Director and hold him or her harmless against any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable Expenses actually incurred or reasonably anticipated in connection with any Proceeding in which any Officer or Director is a Party, provided the Officer or Director was made a Party to such Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer or Director of the Corporation or by reason of any inaction, nondisclosure, action or statement made, taken or omitted by or on behalf of the Officer or Director with respect to the Corporation or by or on behalf of the Officer or Director in his or her capacity as an officer or Director.

8.4 INSURANCE. The Corporation may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, purchase and maintain or cause to be purchased and maintained insurance on behalf of all Officers and Directors against any liability asserted against them or incurred by them in their capacity or arising out of their status as an officer or Director, to the extent such insurance is reasonably available.

[1] Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-based, Tier 1 Risk-based, and Total Risk-based Capital ratios are computed by dividing a bank's Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 or TotalCapital, as defined by regulation, by a risk-weighted sum of the bank's assets, with the risk weighting determined by general standards established by regulation. The safest assets (e.g., government obligations) are assigned a weighting of 0% with riskier assets receiving higher ratings (e.g., ordinary commercial loans are assigned a weighting of 100%).

[2] Tier 1 Leverage ratio is computed by dividing a bank's Tier 1 Capital, as defined by regulation, by its total quarterly average assets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Loans and Interest Income

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their unpaid principal amount outstanding adjusted for any charge-offs and deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is recognized using the interest method based on loan principal amounts outstanding during the period. Interest income also includes amortization and accretion of any premiums or discounts over the expected life of acquired loans at the time of purchase or business acquisition. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the contractual term of the loans.

The Company disaggregates certain disclosure information related to loans, the related allowance for loan losses, and credit quality measures by either portfolio segment or by loan class. The Company segregates its loan portfolio segments based on similar risk characteristics as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Portfolio segments are further disaggregated into classes for certain required disclosures as follows:

Portfolio Segment	Class
Real estate loans	Real estate mortgage – construction and land development Real estate mortgage – residential Real estate mortgage – farmland and other commercial enterprises
Commercial loans	Commercial and industrial Depository institutions Agriculture production and other loans to farmers States and political subdivisions Leases Other
Consumer loans	Secured Unsecured

The Company has a loan policy in place that is amended and approved from time to time as needed to reflect current economic conditions and product offerings in its markets. The policy establishes written procedures concerning areas such as the lending authorities of loan officers, committee review and approval of certain credit requests, underwriting criteria, policy exceptions, appraisal requirements, and loan review. Credit is extended to borrowers based primarily on their ability to repay as demonstrated by income and cash flow analysis.

Loans secured by real estate make up the largest segment of the Company’s loan portfolio. If a borrower fails to repay a loan secured by real estate, the Company may liquidate the collateral in order to satisfy the amount owed. Determining the value of real estate is a key component to the lending process for real estate backed loans. If the fair value of real estate (less estimated cost to sell) securing a collateral dependent loan declines below the outstanding loan amount, the Company will write down the carrying value of the loan and thereby incur a loss. The Company uses independent third party state certified or licensed appraisers in accordance with its loan policy to mitigate risk when underwriting real estate loans. Cash flow analysis of the borrower, loan to value limits as adopted by loan policy, and other customary underwriting standards are also in place which are designed to maximize credit quality and mitigate risks associated with real estate lending.

Commercial loans are made to businesses and are secured mainly by assets such as inventory, accounts receivable, machinery, fixtures and equipment, or other business assets. Commercial lending involves significant risk, as loan repayments are more dependent on the successful operation or management of the business and its cash flows. Consumer lending includes loans to individuals mainly for personal autos, boats, or a variety of other personal uses and may be secured or unsecured. Loan repayment associated with consumer loans is highly dependent upon the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which is heavily influenced by local unemployment rates. The Company mitigates its risk exposure to each of its loan segments by analyzing the borrower’s repayment capacity, imposing restrictions on the amount it will loan compared to estimated collateral values, limiting the payback periods, and following other customary underwriting practices as adopted in its loan policy.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it is determined that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The Company’s policy for placing a loan on nonaccrual status or subsequently returning a loan to accrual status does not differ based on its portfolio class or segment.

Commercial and real estate loans delinquent in excess of 120 days and consumer loans delinquent in excess of 180 days are charged off, unless the collateral securing the debt is of such value that any loss appears to be unlikely. In all cases, loans are charged off at an earlier date if classified as loss under the Company’s loan grading process or as a result of regulatory examination. The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans does not differ from the charge-off policy for loans outside the definition of impaired.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges or credits made to earnings to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by net charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company estimates the adequacy of the allowance using a risk-rated methodology which is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral securing loans, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates that may be susceptible to change.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current risk factors. 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. Actual loan losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

The general portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is segregated into portfolio segments having similar risk characteristics identified as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Each of these portfolio segments is assigned a loss percentage based on their respective sixteen quarter rolling historical loss rates, adjusted for the qualitative risk factors summarized below.

The qualitative risk factors used in the methodology are consistent with the guidance in the most recent Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan Losses issued. Each factor is supported by a detailed analysis performed at each subsidiary bank and is both measureable and supportable. Some factors include a minimum allocation in some instances where loss levels are extremely low and it is determined to be prudent from a safety and soundness perspective. Qualitative risk factors that are used in the methodology include the following for each loan portfolio segment:

● Delinquency trends

● Trends in net charge-offs

● Trends in loan volume

● Lending philosophy risk

● Management experience risk

● Concentration of credit risk

● Economic conditions risk

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. 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.

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables.” ASC Topic 310 requires that impaired loans be measured at the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans may also be classified as nonaccrual. In many circumstances, however, the Company continues to accrue interest on an impaired loan. Cash receipts on accruing impaired loans are applied to the recorded investment in the loan, including any accrued interest receivable. Cash payments received on nonaccrual impaired loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans that are part of a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and smaller-balance commercial loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate at inception, or at the fair value of collateral. The Company determines the amount of reserve for troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default in accordance with its accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU amends U.S. GAAP by removing the concept of extraordinary items, including deleting the definition of “extraordinary items” from the FASB Master Glossary. The revised guidance provides that the nature and financial effects of each event or transaction that is unusual in nature or occurs infrequently or both shall be presented as a separate component of income from continuing operations or, alternatively, disclosed in notes to the financial statements.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU addresses balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premiums. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” This ASU applies to entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also clarify that certain disclosure requirements are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient, and not all investments eligible to be measured at fair value using the practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” This ASU defers the effective date of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU No. 2015-14 permits public business entities to apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. Earlier application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting.” This ASU amends FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30 by adding paragraphs which concern line-of-credit arrangements. According to the FASB, ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 states that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of the deferred costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” to amend the guidance for amounts that are adjusted in a merger or acquisition. The amendments in this ASU require that a company that makes an acquisition recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which it determines the adjustment amounts. The amendments require that the buyer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other effects on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts and calculate them as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public companies this ASU is effective for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this ASU. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent transactions where the Company sells certain of its investment securities and agrees to repurchase them at a specific date in the future. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as secured borrowing and reflect the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by U.S. government agency securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral securing the borrowings in the event of principal pay downs or a decrease in the market value of the pledged securities. The Company mitigates this risk by monitoring the market value and liquidity of the collateral and ensuring that it holds a sufficient level of eligible securities to cover potential increases in collateral requirements.

The following table represents the remaining maturity of repurchase agreements disaggregated by the class of securities pledged.

10. Postretirement Medical Benefits

The Company provides lifetime medical and dental benefits upon retirement for certain employees meeting the eligibility requirements as of December 31, 1989 (“Plan 1”). Additional participants are not eligible to be included in Plan 1 unless they met the requirements on this date. During 2003, the Company implemented an additional postretirement health insurance program (“Plan 2”). Under Plan 2, any employee meeting the service requirement of 20 years of full time service to the Company and is at least age 55 upon retirement is eligible to continue their health insurance coverage. Under both plans, retirees not yet eligible for Medicare have coverage identical to the coverage offered to active employees. Under both plans, Medicare-eligible retirees are provided with a Medicare Advantage plan. The Company pays 100% of the cost of Plan 1. The Company and the retirees each pay 50% of the cost under Plan 2. Both plans are unfunded.

The following disclosures of the net periodic benefit cost components of Plan 1 and Plan 2 were measured at January 1, 2015 and 2014.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are detailed below. The summary is divided into available for sale and held to maturity securities. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mutual funds and equity securities in the available for sale portfolio consist of investments attributed to the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary. These securities have no stated maturity and are not included in the maturity schedule that follows.

Mortgage-backed securities are stated separately due to the nature of payment and prepayment characteristics of these securities, as principal is not due at a single date.

Unrealized losses included in the tables above have not been recognized in income since they have been identified as temporary. The Company evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Many factors are considered, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was effected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an OTTI charge exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to the Company at a point in time.

Corporate debt securities in the Company’s investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2015 include single-issuer trust preferred capital securities with an unrealized loss of $854 thousand and a carrying value of $5.0 million. At year-end 2014, these securities had an unrealized loss of $354 thousand. These securities were issued by a national and global financial services firm and purchased by the Company during 2007. The securities are currently performing and continue to be rated as investment grade by the rating agencies. The issuer of the securities announced in the first quarter of 2015 an increase in per share common dividend payments and authorization of a common equity repurchase plan. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company believes these securities are not impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors, but rather the unrealized loss is primarily attributed to continuing global economic issues and market volatility. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities and that the fair values of these securities will recover as they approach their maturity dates.

The Company attributes the unrealized losses in other sectors of its investment securities portfolio to changes in market interest rates and volatility. Investment securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 are performing according to their contractual terms, and the Company does not expect to incur a loss on these securities unless they are sold prior to maturity. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities nor does it believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company does not consider any of the securities to be impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

4. Accounting Policy

Loans and Interest Income

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their unpaid principal amount outstanding adjusted for any charge-offs and deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is recognized using the interest method based on loan principal amounts outstanding during the period. Interest income also includes amortization and accretion of any premiums or discounts over the expected life of acquired loans at the time of purchase or business acquisition. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the contractual term of the loans.

The Company disaggregates certain disclosure information related to loans, the related allowance for loan losses, and credit quality measures by either portfolio segment or by loan class. The Company segregates its loan portfolio segments based on similar risk characteristics as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Portfolio segments are further disaggregated into classes for certain required disclosures as follows:

Portfolio Segment	Class
Real estate loans	Real estate mortgage – construction and land development Real estate mortgage – residential Real estate mortgage – farmland and other commercial enterprises
Commercial loans	Commercial and industrial Depository institutions Agriculture production and other loans to farmers States and political subdivisions Leases Other
Consumer loans	Secured Unsecured

The Company has a loan policy in place that is amended and approved from time to time as needed to reflect current economic conditions and product offerings in its markets. The policy establishes written procedures concerning areas such as the lending authorities of loan officers, committee review and approval of certain credit requests, underwriting criteria, policy exceptions, appraisal requirements, and loan review. Credit is extended to borrowers based primarily on their ability to repay as demonstrated by income and cash flow analysis.

Loans secured by real estate make up the largest segment of the Company’s loan portfolio. If a borrower fails to repay a loan secured by real estate, the Company may liquidate the collateral in order to satisfy the amount owed. Determining the value of real estate is a key component to the lending process for real estate backed loans. If the fair value of real estate (less estimated cost to sell) securing a collateral dependent loan declines below the outstanding loan amount, the Company will write down the carrying value of the loan and thereby incur a loss. The Company uses independent third party state certified or licensed appraisers in accordance with its loan policy to mitigate risk when underwriting real estate loans. Cash flow analysis of the borrower, loan to value limits as adopted by loan policy, and other customary underwriting standards are also in place which are designed to maximize credit quality and mitigate risks associated with real estate lending.

Commercial loans are made to businesses and are secured mainly by assets such as inventory, accounts receivable, machinery, fixtures and equipment, or other business assets. Commercial lending involves significant risk, as loan repayments are more dependent on the successful operation or management of the business and its cash flows. Consumer lending includes loans to individuals mainly for personal autos, boats, or a variety of other personal uses and may be secured or unsecured. Loan repayment associated with consumer loans is highly dependent upon the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which is heavily influenced by local unemployment rates. The Company mitigates its risk exposure to each of its loan segments by analyzing the borrower’s repayment capacity, imposing restrictions on the amount it will loan compared to estimated collateral values, limiting the payback periods, and following other customary underwriting practices as adopted in its loan policy.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when it is determined that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The Company’s policy for placing a loan on nonaccrual status or subsequently returning a loan to accrual status does not differ based on its portfolio class or segment.

Commercial and real estate loans delinquent in excess of 120 days and consumer loans delinquent in excess of 180 days are charged off, unless the collateral securing the debt is of such value that any loss appears to be unlikely. In all cases, loans are charged off at an earlier date if classified as loss under the Company’s loan grading process or as a result of regulatory examination. The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans does not differ from the charge-off policy for loans outside the definition of impaired.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges or credits made to earnings to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by net charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company estimates the adequacy of the allowance using a risk-rated methodology which is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral securing loans, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates that may be susceptible to change.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current risk factors. 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. Actual loan losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

The general portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is segregated into portfolio segments having similar risk characteristics identified as follows: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Each of these portfolio segments is assigned a loss percentage based on their respective sixteen quarter rolling historical loss rates, adjusted for the qualitative risk factors summarized below.

The qualitative risk factors used in the methodology are consistent with the guidance in the most recent Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan Losses issued. Each factor is supported by a detailed analysis performed at each subsidiary bank and is both measureable and supportable. Some factors include a minimum allocation in some instances where loss levels are extremely low and it is determined to be prudent from a safety and soundness perspective. Qualitative risk factors that are used in the methodology include the following for each loan portfolio segment:

● Delinquency trends

● Trends in net charge-offs

● Trends in loan volume

● Lending philosophy risk

● Management experience risk

● Concentration of credit risk

● Economic conditions risk

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. 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.

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables.” ASC Topic 310 requires that impaired loans be measured at the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans may also be classified as nonaccrual. In many circumstances, however, the Company continues to accrue interest on an impaired loan. Cash receipts on accruing impaired loans are applied to the recorded investment in the loan, including any accrued interest receivable. Cash payments received on nonaccrual impaired loans generally are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans that are part of a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and smaller-balance commercial loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate at inception, or at the fair value of collateral. The Company determines the amount of reserve for troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default in accordance with its accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU amends U.S. GAAP by removing the concept of extraordinary items, including deleting the definition of “extraordinary items” from the FASB Master Glossary. The revised guidance provides that the nature and financial effects of each event or transaction that is unusual in nature or occurs infrequently or both shall be presented as a separate component of income from continuing operations or, alternatively, disclosed in notes to the financial statements.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU addresses balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premiums. ASU No. 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” This ASU applies to entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also clarify that certain disclosure requirements are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using the practical expedient, and not all investments eligible to be measured at fair value using the practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2015-07 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” This ASU defers the effective date of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU No. 2015-14 permits public business entities to apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. Earlier application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting.” This ASU amends FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30 by adding paragraphs which concern line-of-credit arrangements. According to the FASB, ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 states that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequent amortization of the deferred costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” to amend the guidance for amounts that are adjusted in a merger or acquisition. The amendments in this ASU require that a company that makes an acquisition recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which it determines the adjustment amounts. The amendments require that the buyer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other effects on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts and calculate them as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public companies this ASU is effective for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this ASU. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.The Company does not expect there to be a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

5. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average total number of common shares issued and outstanding. Net income available to common shareholders represents net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends including dividends declared, accretion of discounts on preferred stock issuances, and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of the end of the period.

Diluted net income per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the total weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus amounts representing the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding. The effects of stock options outstanding are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Net income per common share computations were as follows for the periods indicated.

The Company has allocated $1.9 million and $2.2 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings and that are in compliance with those terms as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company had no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company had three credits modified as troubled debt restructurings during 2015. Additionally, troubled debt restructurings increased as a result of the purchase of a previously-participated portion of a loan to a nonaffiliated bank during the first quarter of 2015. This loan was participated prior to it being restructured. The purchase price paid represented a discount of $482 thousand or 15% of the purchased principal amount. The loan is performing under the terms of the restructuring and the borrower’s financial position has steadily improved. Accretion of the discount was recognized over the contractual life of the loan, which ended in June 2015. There is no further accretion to be recognized. The total outstanding balance related to this credit, which was renewed during June 2015, was $11.3 million at September 30, 2015. This represents 46.8% of the Company’s total restructured loans and is the largest such individual credit. This credit was restructured in 2012 following an interest rate concession and extended amortization term.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended September 30, 2015 or during 2014.

The troubled debt restructurings identified above increased the allowance for loan losses by $356 thousand in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. There were no charge-offs related to these loans. There were no payment defaults during the first nine months of 2015 or 2014 for credits that were restructured during the previous twelve months.

The tables below present an age analysis of past due loans 30 days or more by class of loans as of the dates indicated. Past due loans that are also classified as nonaccrual are included in their respective past due category.

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 and conditions. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes large-balance loans and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial real estate and certain residential real estate loans. Loan rating grades, as described further below, are assigned based on a continuous process. The amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for its 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 borrower’s repayment ability, weaken the collateral or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date. These credits pose elevated risk, but their weaknesses do not yet justify a substandard 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 Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent of 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 which are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans, which are considered to have a low risk of loss. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows for the dates indicated. Each of the following tables excludes immaterial amounts attributed to accrued interest receivable.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

12. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” allows entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. This Topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions supported by little or no market activity, about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Following is a description of the valuation method used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For this disclosure, the Company only has available for sale investment securities and money market mutual funds classified as cash equivalents that meet the requirement. The carrying value of the $11.2 million in money market mutual funds is equivalent to its fair value and based on Level 1 inputs.

Available for sale investment securities

Valued primarily by independent third party pricing services under the market valuation approach that include, but are not limited to, the following inputs:

● Mutual funds and equity securities are priced utilizing real-time data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities and are considered Level 1 inputs.

● Government-sponsored agency debt securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other similar investment securities are priced with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Available for sale investment securities are the Company’s only balance sheet item that meets the disclosure requirements for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Disclosures as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:

The Company is required to measure and disclose certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods following their initial recognition. The Company’s disclosure about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consists of impaired loans and OREO. The carrying value of these assets are adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring basis through impairment charges as described more fully below.

Impairment charges on collateral-dependent loans are recorded by either an increase to the provision for loan losses and related allowance or by direct loan charge-offs. The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is measured based on recent appraisals of the underlying collateral. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraisers take absorption rates into consideration and adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to identify differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments consist mainly of estimated costs to sell that are not included in certain appraisals or to update appraised collateral values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which a newer appraisal is available. These adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

OREO includes properties acquired by the Company through, or in lieu of, actual loan foreclosures and is carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of OREO at acquisition is generally based on third party appraisals of the property that includes comparable sales data and is considered as Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of each OREO property is updated at least annually and more frequently when market conditions significantly impact the value of the property. If the carrying amount of the OREO exceeds fair value less estimated costs to sell, an impairment loss is recorded through noninterest expense.

The following tables represent the carrying amount of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held by the Company as of the dates indicated. The amounts in the table only represent assets whose carrying amount has been adjusted by impairment charges during the period in a manner as described above; therefore, these amounts will differ from the total amounts outstanding. Collateral-dependent impaired loan amounts in the tables below exclude restructured loans since they are measured based on present value techniques, which are outside the scope of the fair value reporting framework.

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs for assets measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 measurements. As described above, the fair value of real estate securing collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are based on current third party appraisals. It is often necessary, however, for the Company to discount the appraisal amounts supporting its impaired loans and OREO. These discounts relate primarily to marketing and other holding costs that are not included in certain appraisals or to update values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which newer appraisals are available. Discounts also result from contracts to sell properties entered into during the period. The range of discounts is presented in the table below for 2015. The upper end of the range identified in the table below related to OREO is the result of a small dollar property written down to the contract sales price. The weighted average column represents a better indicator of the discounts applied to the appraisals.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The table that follows represents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.” ASC 825 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and present value or other valuation techniques. These derived fair values are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented are not intended to represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each of the financial instruments in the table that follows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization or settlement.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity

Fair value is based on quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and fair value approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased and Other Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for these borrowings which reprice frequently in the near term.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Subordinated Notes Payable, and Other Long-term Borrowings

The fair value of these borrowings is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. For subordinated notes payable, the Company uses its best estimate to determine an appropriate discount rate since active markets for similar debt transactions are very limited.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Pricing of these financial instruments is based on the credit quality and relationship, fees, interest rates, probability of funding, compensating balance, and other covenants or requirements. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, variable interest rates and contain termination and other clauses that provide for relief from funding in the event there is a significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. Many loan commitments are expected to, and typically do, expire without being drawn upon. The rates and terms of the Company’s commitments to lend and standby letters of credit are competitive with others in the various markets in which the Company operates. There are no unamortized fees relating to these financial instruments, as such the carrying value and fair value are both zero.

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Information for available for sale investment securities is presented within this footnote in greater detail above.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the “Company” or “Parent Company”), a bank holding company, and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. Bank subsidiaries include Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company (“Farmers Bank”) in Frankfort, KY, United Bank & Trust Company (“United Bank”) in Versailles, KY, First Citizens Bank, Inc. (“First Citizens”) in Elizabethtown, KY, and Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. (“Citizens Northern”) in Newport, KY.

Farmers Bank’s significant subsidiaries include EG Properties, Inc. and Farmers Capital Insurance Corporation (“Farmers Insurance”). EG Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of Farmers Bank and Farmers Insurance is an insurance agency in Frankfort, KY. United Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, EGT Properties, Inc. EGT Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of United Bank. First Citizens has one wholly-owned subsidiary, HBJ Properties, LLC. HBJ Properties, LLC is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of First Citizens. Citizens Northern has one wholly-owned subsidiary, ENKY Properties, Inc. ENKY Properties, Inc. is involved in real estate management and liquidation for certain repossessed properties of Citizens Northern.

The Company has two active nonbank subsidiaries, FCB Services, Inc. (“FCB Services”), and FFKT Insurance Services, Inc. (“FFKT Insurance”). FCB Services is a data processing subsidiary located in Frankfort, KY that provides services to the Company’s banks as well as unaffiliated entities. FFKT Insurance is a captive property and casualty insurance company insuring primarily deductible exposures and uncovered liability related to properties of the Company. The Company has three subsidiaries organized as Delaware statutory trusts that are not consolidated into its financial statements. These trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.

The Company provides financial services at its 35 locations in 22 communities throughout Central and Northern Kentucky to individual, business, agriculture, government, and educational customers. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts. Its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial lending, and consumer installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans and leases are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Other services include, but are not limited to, cash management services, issuing letters of credit, safe deposit box rental, and providing funds transfer services. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) 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. Estimates used in the preparation of the condensed financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local and state economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the condensed financial statements. The allowance for loan losses, carrying value of other real estate owned, actuarial assumptions used to calculate postretirement benefits, and the fair values of financial instruments are estimates that are particularly subject to change.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block]

11. Regulatory Matters

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the banks’ assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and its subsidiary banks’ capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, U.S. banking regulators adopted final rules related to standards on bank capital adequacy and liquidity (commonly referred to “Basel III”). The new rules were effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions extending through January 1, 2019. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio, an increase to risk-weightings of certain assets, implementation of a new capital conservation buffer in excess of the required minimum (which is set to be phased in beginning in 2016), and changes to how regulatory capital is defined. The Company and each of its bank subsidiaries meet the minimum capital ratios and a fully phased-in capital conservation buffer under the new rules.

The regulatory ratios of the consolidated Company and its subsidiary banks were as follows for the dates indicated.

	September 30, 2015												December 31, 2014
	Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Total Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Leverage2				Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1		Tier 1 Risk-based Capital1			Total Risk-based Capital1			Tier 1 Leverage2
Consolidated		14.93	%		19.13	%		20.12	%		12.27	%			N/A		19.75	%		21.00	%		12.04	%
Farmers Bank		16.74			16.74			17.65			9.63				N/A		17.71			18.70			9.40
United Bank		19.04			19.04			20.20			12.82				N/A		18.00			19.26			11.08

¹Common Equity Tier 1 Risked-based, Tier 1 Risk-based, and Total Risk-based Capital ratios are computed by dividing a bank’s Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 or Total Capital, as defined by regulation, by a risk-weighted sum of the bank’s assets, with the risk weighting determined by general standards established by regulation. The safest assets (e.g., government obligations) are assigned a weighting of 0% with riskier assets receiving higher ratings (e.g., ordinary commercial loans are assigned a weighting of 100%).

²Tier 1 Leverage ratio is computed by dividing a bank’s Tier 1 Capital, as defined by regulation, by its total quarterly average assets.

N/A – Not applicable.

On June 8, 2015, the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of its remaining outstanding Series A preferred stock. The shares were redeemed at the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per share, plus accrued dividends of $58 thousand. The Company originally issued 30,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock in 2009. The redemption was the third and final partial redemption of the original shares issued. No additional debt or equity was issued in connection with any of the shares redeemed. 

Summary of Regulatory Agreements

Citizens Northern.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (“KDFI”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”) with Citizens Northern in September 2010. This Memorandum was terminated and replaced in July 2013. The updated Memorandum included provisionsthat required the bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio at or above 9.0% and to obtain regulatory approval before declaring or paying a dividend to the Parent Company. The Memorandum was terminated in August 2015 following a joint examination by the FDIC and KDFI, which found satisfactory compliance with the terms of the Memorandum and overall improvement in financial condition.
