SB FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
SB Financial Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation
(the “Company”), is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, The State Bank and Trust Company (“State Bank”), RFCBC, Inc. (“RFCBC”), Rurbanc Data Services,
Inc. dba RDSI Banking Systems (“RDSI”), and Rurban Statutory Trust II (“RST II”). RDSI is presently inactive
and has had no material operations or employees since January 1, 2018. In addition, State Bank owns all of the outstanding stock
of Rurban Mortgage Company (“RMC”), which is inactive, and State Bank Insurance, LLC (“SBI”).
In June 2020, the Company acquired Edon
Bancorp (“Edon”) and its subsidiary, The Edon State Bank Company of Edon, Ohio. This acquisition was completed effective
June 5, 2020, and the acquisition resulted in an increase in goodwill, which is detailed in Note 8. The business combination summary
is detailed in Note 3.
In March 2019, the Company formed SBFG
Title, LLC (“Title”) and purchased all of the assets and real estate of an Ohio based title agency. The purchase was
completed effective March 15, 2019, and the purchase resulted in an increase in goodwill, which is detailed in Note 8.
In March 2019, the Company formed SB Captive,
Inc. (“Captive”), which is a captive insurance company based in Nevada. The Captive allows the Company to share insurance
risk among a pool of similar sized banks.
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company, State Bank, RFCBC, RDSI, RMC, Title, Captive and SBI. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of results for the complete year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet
of the Company as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that
date.
For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019.
New and applicable accounting pronouncements:
ASU No. 2017-04: Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)
This ASU simplifies the test for
goodwill impairment. Specifically, these amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, and also eliminate the
requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails
that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The Company has decided to adopt this ASU immediately,
and management does not believe the changes will have a material effect on the Company’s accounting and disclosures.
ASU No. 2018-13: Fair Value
Measurement - Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)
The updated guidance improves
the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The ASU removes certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the
valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU modifies certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to
disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy; the requirement to disclose the timing of liquidation
of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated
the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value;
and clarification that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement
as of the reporting date. The ASU adds certain disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses for the
period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period
and the range and weighted-average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain
unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted- average if the entity determines
that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable
inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The impact of this new guidance did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards not yet adopted:
ASU No. 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform
– Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)
This guidance provides temporary options
to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide
reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company anticipates
being fully prepared to implement a replacement for the reference rate and has determined that any change will not have a material
impact to the consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2020-01: Investments –
Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815
This guidance was issued in January 2020
to clarify that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity
method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement
alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments also
clarify that when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider,
whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value
option. The guidance is effective beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its accounting
and disclosures.
ASU No. 2016-13: Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)
This ASU, which is commonly known as “CECL,”
replaces the current GAAP incurred impairment methodology regarding credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit
losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.
The amendments in this update affect an entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity,
their duration, and how the entity applies current GAAP.
The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is likely
to result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which
encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which
encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate
that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses on debt securities.
In December 2018, the OCC,
the Federal Reserve Board, and the FDIC approved a final rule to address changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP, including
banking organizations’ implementation of CECL. The final rule provides banking organizations the option to phase in over
a three-year period the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the new accounting
standard.
On November 15, 2019, the FASB
delayed the effective date for certain small public companies and other private companies. As the Company is currently a smaller
reporting company, the amendment will delay the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 to the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.
While we are currently unable
to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced
by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions
and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Company implemented a process to track required data by utilizing accounting software
in preparation for compliance. We anticipate being fully prepared for implementation by December 15, 2022.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
Effective June 5, 2020, the Company acquired
Edon Bancorp and its subsidiary, The Edon State Bank Company of Edon, Ohio. Edon Bancorp was headquartered in Edon, Ohio and had
one retail banking office. The Edon State Bank was merged with and into State Bank, with State Bank surviving. Under the terms
of the merger agreement, shareholders of Edon received fixed consideration of $103.50 in cash for each share of Edon common stock
for total consideration of $15.5 million. The Company accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting,
which means that the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition.
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company
expensed approximately $1.2 million of direct acquisition costs during the three months ended June 30, 2020, and no additional
merger expense was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The $1.2 million in merger expense is split between
data processing and professional fees expense. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $4.3 million of goodwill and
$0.7 million of intangible assets in the second quarter of 2020. The Company was able to increase both its deposit and loan base
and acquire new households in a new market. It is expected that this transaction will result in business synergies and economies
of scale. The acquisition was consistent with the Company’s strategy to expand its presence in Northwest Ohio and to increase
profitability by introducing existing products and services to the acquired customer base. The intangible assets are related to
core deposits, which are being amortized over 10 years on a straight-line basis. For tax purposes, goodwill is non-deductible
but will be evaluated annually for impairment.
The following table summarizes the fair
value of the total consideration transferred as part of the acquisition as well as the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities
assumed as of the effective date of the transaction based on assumptions that are subject to change as management continues to
evaluate relevant information as it becomes available. If, prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing
the purchase price allocation, relevant information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase
price allocation, such adjustments will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Potential
adjustments, if any, will be related to assets that may have changes to valuation amounts that were not readily determinable at
acquisition date.
The contractual principal of loans at
the acquisition date was $16.3 million and the estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected is $0.4 million.

The fair value of securities pledged as collateral,
to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was $45.1 million at September 30, 2020 and $34.8 million at December 31, 2019.
The fair value of securities delivered for repurchase agreements was $24.9 million at September 30, 2020 and $19.5 million at December
31, 2019.
There were no realized gains and losses
from sales of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $0.2 million in realized gains
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Certain investments in debt securities are
reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments was $23.3
million at September 30, 2020, and $38.8 million at December 31, 2019, which was approximately 18 and 38 percent, respectively,
of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio at such dates. Based on evaluation of available evidence, including
recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management
believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become
other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period
the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The total unrealized loss in the securities
portfolio was $0.06 million as of September 30, 2020 compared to a $0.2 million unrealized loss at December 31, 2019. Management
evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market
concern warrants such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been
less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell
the investment and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of
its amortized cost. Management has determined there is no other-than-temporary-impairment on its securities as of September 30,
2020.
NOTE 5 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans that management has the intent
and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoffs, are reported at their outstanding principal balances
adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums
or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan
fees and costs over the loan term. Generally, all loan classes are placed on nonaccrual status not later than 90 days past due,
unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. All interest accrued, but not collected, for loans that are placed
on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis
or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
12
The allowance for loan losses is established
as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against
the allowance when management believes the non-collectability of a loan balance is probable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated
on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light
of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s
ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.
The allowance consists of allocated and
general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified
as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the
impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical
charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments
may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are
not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.
A loan is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that State Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal
or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining
impairment include payment status, 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 each of
the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s
prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on
a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, agricultural, and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral
if the loan is collateral dependent.
When State Bank moves a loan to nonaccrual
status, total unpaid interest accrued to date is reversed from income. Subsequent payments are applied to the outstanding principal
balance with the interest portion of the payment recorded on the balance sheet as a contra-loan. Interest received on impaired
loans may be realized once all contractual principal amounts are received or when a borrower establishes a history of six consecutive
timely principal and interest payments. It is at the discretion of management to determine when a loan is placed back on accrual
status upon receipt of six consecutive timely payments.
Large groups of smaller balance homogenous
loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, State Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential
loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties
of the borrower.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:
Commercial & Industrial and Agricultural
Commercial & industrial and agricultural
loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by
the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate
in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable
or inventory, and may include a personal guarantee. Short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured
by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability
of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
Commercial Real Estate (Owner and Nonowner Occupied)
Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily
as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan
principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing
the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected
by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The characteristics of properties securing the Company’s
commercial real estate portfolio are diverse, but with geographic location almost entirely in the Company’s market area.
Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In general,
the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition,
management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate versus non-owner-occupied loans.
Construction loans are underwritten utilizing
feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans
are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction
loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate
project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales
of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely
monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment
being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability
of long-term financing.
14
Residential Real Estate, HELOC and Consumer
Residential and consumer loans consist of two
segments – residential mortgage loans and personal loans. Residential mortgage loans are secured by 1-4 family residences
and are generally owner-occupied, and the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage
insurance if that ratio is exceeded. HELOCs are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer
personal loans are secured by consumer personal assets, such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer personal loans
are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on
the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas, such as unemployment
levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that
these loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.
The following tables present the activity in
the allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, and the recorded investment
in loans based on portfolio segment and impairment method as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019.

Credit Risk Profile
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories
based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical
payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes
loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater
than $100 thousand and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on
a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass (grades 1 – 4):
Loans which management has determined to be performing as expected and in agreement with the terms established at the time of loan
origination.
Special Mention (5):
Assets have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Ordinarily, special mention credits have characteristics which corrective management action would remedy.
Substandard (6): Loans
are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
Loans so classified must 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 (7): Loans
classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable
and improbable.
Loss (8): Loans are
considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the Company’s financial statement
is not warranted. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all
or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.
The following tables present the credit risk
profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on rating category as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

All loans past due 90 days are systematically placed on nonaccrual
status.
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance
with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable State
Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired
loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions
have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest
rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Impaired loans less than $100,000 are included
in groups of homogenous loans. These loans are evaluated based on delinquency status.
Interest income recognized on a cash basis
does not materially differ from interest income recognized on an accrual basis.

Troubled Debt Restructured (TDR) Loans
TDRs are modified loans where a concession
was provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications are considered TDRs when the concessions provided
are not available to the borrower through either normal channels or other sources. However, not all loan modifications are TDRs.
TDR Concession Types
The Company’s standards relating to loan
modifications consider, among other factors, minimum verified income requirements, cash flow analysis, and collateral valuations.
Each potential loan modification is reviewed individually and the terms of the loan are modified to meet a borrower’s specific
circumstances at a point in time. All loan modifications, including those classified as TDRs, are reviewed and approved by management.
The types of concessions provided to borrowers include:
· Interest rate reduction: A reduction of
the stated interest rate to a nonmarket rate for the remaining original life of the loan. The Company also may grant interest rate
concessions for a limited timeframe on a case by case basis.
· Amortization or maturity date change:
A change in the amortization or maturity date beyond what the collateral supports, including a concession that does any of the
following:
(1) Lengthens the amortization period of the amortized principal beyond market terms. This concession
reduces the minimum monthly payment and increases the amount of the balloon payment at the end of the term of the loan. Principal
is generally not forgiven.
(2) Reduces the amount of loan principal to be amortized. This concession also reduces the minimum
monthly payment and increases the amount of the balloon payment at the end of the term of the loan. Principal is generally not
forgiven.
(3) Extends the maturity date or dates of the debt beyond what the collateral supports. This concession
generally applies to loans without a balloon payment at the end of the term of the loan. In addition, there may be instances where
renewing loans potentially require non-market terms and would then be reclassified as TDRs.
· Other: A concession that is not categorized
as one of the concessions described above. These concessions include, but are not limited to: principal forgiveness, collateral
concessions, covenant concessions, and reduction of accrued interest. Principal forgiveness may result from any TDR modification
of any concession type.
During the nine months
ended September 30, 2020, the Company had no new TDR activity.

There were no TDR’s modified during the past twelve months that
have subsequently defaulted.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the
CARES Act, which extends the duration of loan forbearance (deferral) agreements beyond the current three-month period before a
loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructure. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approved 26 loan deferral requests
for clients with a total dollar amount of $38.4 million, which do not constitute TDR’s as a result of the CARES act.
NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTING
FOR CERTAIN LOANS ACQUIRED IN A TRANSFER
The Company acquired loans in the acquisition
of The Edon State Bank Company of Edon, Ohio, effective June 5, 2020. None of the acquired loans had evidence of deterioration
of credit quality since origination, and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would be collected.
The following table presents the carrying amount
of the acquired loans included in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2020:

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL
Goodwill is recorded
on the acquisition date of an entity. During the measurement period, the Company may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill
for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date. The acquisition of The Edon State Bank Company of Edon, Ohio, on June
5, 2020, and the purchase of an Ohio- based title agency through a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, SBFG Title, LLC, on March
15, 2019 resulted in approximately $4.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in goodwill.

Goodwill is not amortized but is
evaluated for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances that indicate an
impairment may exist.. When assessing goodwill for impairment, first, a qualitative assessment can be made to determine
whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less that its estimated carrying
value. If the results of the qualitative assessment are not conclusive, a quantitative goodwill test is performed.
Alternatively, a quantitative goodwill test can be performed without performing a qualitative assessment.
Goodwill was assessed for impairment using a quantitative test performed
as of September 30, 2020. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the net carrying value, and therefore no goodwill
impairment existed as of that date. No events or circumstances since the September 30, 2020 impairment test were noted that would
indicate it was more likely than not a goodwill impairment exists.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks
arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposures to a wide variety of business
and operational risks primarily through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including
interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities
and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments
to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash
amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to
manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related
to certain variable-rate assets.
Non-designated Hedges
The Company does not use derivatives for
trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company
provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective
risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company
executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest
rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both
the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.
Additionally, the Company enters into forward
contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third-party investors and enters into Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”)
with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts that
are entered into, economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund
the loans. The IRLCs and forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and are recorded at fair value with changes
in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments
with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, while derivative
instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The table below presents the notional amount
and fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, IRLCs and forward contracts utilized as of September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019.

values of IRLCs and forward contracts were estimated using changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the Company entered
into the IRLC and the balance sheet date.

regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The balance of the Capital Securities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019
was $10.3 million, with a maturity date of September 15, 2035.
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS
AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
A fair value measurement must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy
of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
Level 2 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 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no
market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
26
Following is a description of the valuation
methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, recognized in the accompanying balance sheets,
as well as the general classifications of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available-for-Sale Securities
The fair values of available-for-sale securities
are determined by various valuation methodologies. Level 1 securities include money market mutual funds. Level 1 inputs include
quoted prices in an active market. Level 2 securities include U.S. treasury and government agencies, mortgage-backed securities,
and obligations of political and state subdivisions. Level 2 inputs do not include quoted prices for individual securities in active
markets; however, they do include inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable for the individual security being valued.
Such observable inputs include interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit
risks and default rates. Also included are inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation
or other means.
Interest Rate Contracts
The fair values of interest rate contracts
are based upon the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account
underlying interest rates, creditworthiness of underlying customers for credit derivatives and, when appropriate, the creditworthiness
of the counterparties.
Forward contracts
The fair values of forward contracts on
to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The fair value of IRLCs are determined
using the projected sale price of individual loans based on changes in the market interest rates, projected pull-through rates
(the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s
option due to the passage of time, and the remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market
costs (Level 3).
27
The following table presents the fair value
measurements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair
value measurements fall at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Level 1 – Quoted Prices in Active Markets

Level 2 – Significant Other Observable
Inputs
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs
The following is a description of the valuation
methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance
sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans,
Net of ALLL
Loans for which it is probable the Company
will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. The estimated fair
value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent
impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This method requires obtaining an independent appraisal
of the collateral, which is reviewed for accuracy and consistency by Credit Administration. These appraisers are selected from
the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by applying a discount factor to the
value based on the Company’s loan review policy. All impaired loans held by the Company were collateral dependent at September
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
28
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights do not trade
in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models
associated with the servicing rights and discounting the cash flows using discount market rates, prepayment speeds and default
rates. The servicing portfolio has been valued using all relevant positive and negative cash flows including servicing fees; miscellaneous
income and float; marginal costs of servicing; the cost of carry of advances; and foreclosure losses; and applying certain prevailing
assumptions used in the marketplace. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within
Level 3 of the hierarchy. These mortgage servicing rights are tested for impairment on a quarterly basis.

There were no changes in the inputs or
methodologies used to determine fair value at September 30, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019.
The following methods were used to estimate
the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
Cash and Due From Banks, Federal Reserve
and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount approximates the fair value.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans held for sale is
based upon quoted market prices, where available, or is determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating
the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
Loans
The estimated fair value of loans as of
September 30, 2020 follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and
disclosing fair value of financial instruments. The fair value calculation at that date discounted estimated future cash flows
using rates that incorporated discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors.
Deposits, FHLB advances & Repurchase
agreements
Deposits include demand deposits, savings
accounts, and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates the fair value. The estimated fair value for fixed-maturity
time deposits, as well as borrowings, is based on estimates of the rate State Bank could pay on similar instruments with similar
terms and maturities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Loan Commitments
The fair value of commitments is estimated
using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and
the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The estimated fair values for other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet
loan commitments approximate cost at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and are not considered significant to this presentation.
30
Trust Preferred Securities
The fair value for Trust Preferred Securities
is estimated by discounting the cash flows using an appropriate discount rate.
The following table presents estimated
fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments carried at other than fair value. The fair values of certain of
these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties.
Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments,
and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown
below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

NOTE 14 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
In April 2017, the Company’s shareholders
approved a new share-based incentive compensation plan, the SB Financial Group, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017
Plan”), which replaced the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan” and, together with the 2017
Plan, the “Plans”). The 2017 Plan permits the Company to grant or award incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units to employees and directors of the Company and
its subsidiaries. A total of 500,000 common shares of the Company are available for grants or awards under the 2017 Plan, of which
56,324 shares had been granted under the plan as of September 30, 2020.
The 2008 Plan, which was approved by the
Company’s shareholders in April 2008, permitted the grant or award of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock for up to 250,000 common shares of the Company. While awards granted under the
2008 Plan remain outstanding, no further awards could be granted under the 2008 Plan after April 2018.
The Plans are intended to advance the interests
of the Company and its shareholders by offering employees, directors and advisory board members of the Company and its subsidiaries
an opportunity to acquire or increase their ownership interest in the Company through grants of equity-based awards. The Plans
permit equity-based awards to be used to attract, motivate, reward and retain highly competent individuals upon whose judgment,
initiative, leadership and efforts are key to the success of the Company by encouraging those individuals to become shareholders
of the Company.
31
Stock option awards are granted with an
exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and those option awards vest based on
5 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. No options were granted in the first nine months of 2020.
A summary of stock option activity under
the Company’s plans as of September 30, 2020 and changes during the quarter then ended, is presented below:

All stock options included in the table
above were granted under the 2008 Plan. These shares had an expiration date of February 17, 2020. During the first nine months,
the 26,950 option shares exercised had a total intrinsic value of $0.3 million and the cash received from these exercised options
was $0.2 million. The tax benefit from these transactions was immaterial. On February 17, 2020, the remaining 1,300 unexercised
option shares expired. As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding or exercisable options remaining, and no unrecognized
compensation cost related to stock option awards granted under the 2008 Plan.
On February 5, 2013, the Company adopted
a Long Term Incentive (LTI) Plan. The Plan awards restricted stock in the Company to certain key executives under the Plans. These
restricted stock awards vest over a four-year period and are intended to assist the Company in retention of key executives. During
2019, the Company met certain performance targets under the LTI Plan and a total of 16,442 shares of restricted stock were approved

Critical Accounting Policies
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 describes the significant
accounting policies used in the development and presentation of the Company’s financial statements. The accounting and reporting
policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general
practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations
can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting
policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition
and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, and/or complex.
Allowance for Loan Losses - The
allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, loan portfolio
composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory
guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates.
Many factors can affect management’s estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities,
rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to
operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.
34
The Company determines the amount of the
allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on
reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The
allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud
loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of
loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan’s observable market price, the collateral
for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate.
Regardless of the extent of the Company’s
analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable
within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s
financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the subjective nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral
assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification
and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances
for homogenous groups of loans are also factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these
exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company’s evaluation of imprecise risk associated with the commercial and consumer
allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. To the extent that actual results differ from management’s
estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that could adversely impact earnings for future periods.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles -
The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles,
at fair value as required. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized
over their estimated useful lives using straight-line or accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances
indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent
impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform
in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes
in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition. A decrease in earnings resulting from these
or other factors could lead to an impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings for future periods.
Three Months Ended September
30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Net Income: Net
income for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.3 million compared to net income of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, an
increase of 40 percent. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.69 were up 45 percent from EPS of $0.48 for the third quarter of
2019. During the quarter, the Company recaptured temporary impairment of $0.3 million on its mortgage servicing rights. The quarterly
results include a full quarter of earnings from the Edon acquisition.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
has continued to constrain our ability to grow our revenue as we have reduced our outside calling efforts. In response, we have
actively participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and have disbursed nearly $83 million in PPP loans
to small business clients. In addition, the Company has approved $38.4 million in loan deferrals to clients, with an additional
$42.3 million in deferrals for sold mortgages in connection with the impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Anticipated further
government action will impact our consolidated financial results during the remainder of 2020 although specific details cannot
be determined at this time.
35
Provision for Loan Losses:
The third quarter provision for loan losses was $1.8 million, compared to $0.3 million for the year-ago quarter as the Company
set aside additional loan loss reserves due to the unknown future impact of COVID-19 on our client base. Net charge-offs for the
quarter were $0.02 million compared to $0.11 million for the year-ago quarter. Total delinquent loans ended the quarter at $5.9
million, or 0.66 percent of total loans, which is up $3.9 million from the prior year.

Consolidated Revenue: Total
revenue, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, was $19.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase
of $5.3 million, or 36 percent, from the $14.4 million generated during the third quarter of 2019.
Net interest income was $9.3 million, which
is up $0.2 million from the prior year third quarter’s $9.1 million. The Company’s earning assets increased $163.0
million, coupled with a 102 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets. The net interest margin (FTE) for the third quarter
of 2020 was 3.41 percent compared to 3.93 percent for the third quarter of 2019. The margin was impacted by the $82.1 million in
PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2020, with a coupon rate of 1.0 percent. The Company booked $0.4 million in deferred fees
and $0.2 million in interest income in the quarter related to these PPP loans. Funding costs for interest bearing liabilities for
the third quarter of 2020 were 0.75 percent compared to 1.33 percent for the prior year third quarter.
Noninterest income was $10.4 million for
the third quarter of 2020, which was up $5.0 million from the prior year third quarter’s $5.4 million. In addition to the
mortgage revenue detailed below, gains from the sale of non-mortgage loans was $0.1 million and wealth management revenue was $0.8
million. Recapture of prior impairment to our mortgage servicing rights increased noninterest income by $0.3 million in the quarter.
Our title agency contributed revenue of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, up $0.1 million from the prior year. Noninterest
income as a percentage of average assets for the third quarter of 2020 was 3.42 percent compared to 2.06 percent for the prior
year third quarter.
State Bank originated $200.2 million of
mortgage loans for the third quarter of 2020, of which $166.2 million was sold with the remainder in loans held for investment.
This compares to $157.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, of which $125.4 million was sold with the remainder in loans held
for investment. The significant increase in volume from the prior year was the result of lower interest rates that drove higher
re-finance volume. These third quarter 2020 originations and subsequent sales resulted in $8.1 million of gains, up $5.6 million
from the gains for the third quarter of 2019. Net mortgage banking revenue was $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared
to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. The 2020 third quarter included a $0.3 million positive valuation recapture on our
mortgage servicing rights compared to no impairment for the third quarter of 2019, due to increased prepayment speeds and expected
higher default rates due to COVID-19 concerns.
Consolidated Noninterest Expense:
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $11.3 million, which was up $1.8 million compared to $9.5 million in the
prior-year third quarter. The third quarter of 2020 included higher commission and incentives on mortgage sales of $0.3 million
and the expenses from our title agency of $0.3 million, which was up $0.11 million from the prior year. The operational expenses
for the acquired Edon operations were also included in the quarter.
36
Income Taxes: Income taxes for
the third quarter of 2020 were $1.3 million (effective rate 19.7 percent) compared to $0.9 million (effective rate 18.6 percent)
for the third quarter of 2019. The higher tax expense was driven by higher earnings.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Net Income : Net income
for the first nine months of 2020 was $9.6 million compared to net income of $8.6 million for the first nine months of 2019, an
increase of $1.0 million or 11.3 percent. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) for the period of $1.25 were up 15.3 percent from EPS
of $1.08 for the prior year nine-month period.
Provision for Loan Losses :
The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2020 was $3.7 million compared to $0.5 million for the prior year first
nine months. Net charge offs for the period were $0.7 million compared to net charge offs of $0.2 million for the prior year nine-month
period.
Consolidated Revenue : Total
revenue, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, was $47.9 million for the first nine months of 2020, an increase
of $9.6 million, or 25.0 percent, from the $38.3 million generated during the 2019 first nine months.
Net interest income was $26.7 million, which
is up $0.5 million from net interest income of $26.2 million for the prior year first nine months. The Company’s earning
assets increased $139.6 million, and had a 80 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets for the first nine months of
2020. The net interest margin (FTE) for the first nine months of 2020 was 3.41 percent compared to 3.87 percent for the first nine
months of 2019. Funding cost for interest bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2020 were 0.91 percent compared to 1.27
percent for the prior year first nine months.
Noninterest income was $21.2 million for the
2020 first nine months, which is up $9.1 million from noninterest income of $12.1 million for the prior year first nine months.
In addition to the mortgage revenue detailed below, gains from the sale of non-mortgage loans was $0.3 million, compared to $1.0
million for the same period in 2019. For the first nine months, the Company had a mortgage servicing rights impairment of $3.0
million.
State Bank originated $525.2 million of mortgage
loans during the first nine months of 2020, of which $455.3 million of loans were sold with the remainder of loans held for investment.
These levels were up 71 percent and 90 percent, respectively, as compared to the prior year first nine months.
Consolidated Noninterest Expense:
Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2020 was $32.4 million, which is up $5.2 million compared to $27.2 million in
the prior year first nine months. The increase in noninterest expenses compared to the prior year was due to increased mortgage
commission, expenses for SBFG Title and $1.2 million in Edon merger expenses.
Income Taxes: Income taxes for
the first nine months of 2020 were $2.2 million (effective rate 18.6 percent) compared to $1.9 million (effective rate 18.4 percent)
for the first nine months of 2019.
Changes in Financial Condition
Total assets at September 30, 2020 were $1,218.1
million, an increase of $179.5 million or 17.3 percent since December 2019 year end. Total loans, net of unearned income, were
$885.9 million as of September 30, 2020, up $60.3 million from year-end, an increase of 7.3 percent. Total PPP balances added $82.1
million to our total loans at September 30, 2020.
Total deposits at September 30, 2020 were $1,014.0
million, an increase of $173.8 million or 20.7 percent since 2019 year end. Borrowed funds (consisting of FHLB advances, and REPOs)
totaled $28.7 million at September 30, 2020. This is down from year-end when borrowed funds totaled $28.9 million due to an increase
in REPOs, offset by lower FHLB borrowings. Total equity for the Company of $141.3 million now stands at 11.6 percent of total assets
compared to the December 31, 2019 level of $136.1 million and 13.1 percent of total assets. The reduction in equity is due to the
acquisition of Edon partially offset by net income.
The allowance for loan loss of $11.8 million
is up $3.0 million from the December 2019 year end level. The allowance to loan level is 1.33 percent (1.47 percent when adjusted
for PPP balances), which is considered appropriate by management given the risk profile of the portfolio.
37
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, based on the computations
for the FFIEC 041 Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income filed by State Bank with the Federal Reserve, State Bank was classified
as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, State Bank
must maintain capital ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since September 30, 2020 that management

Effective January 1, 2015, new regulatory capital
requirements commonly referred to as “Basel III” were implemented and are reflected in the September 30, 2020 capital
table above. Management opted out of the accumulated other comprehensive income treatment under the new requirements and as such
unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities will continue to be excluded from State Bank’s regulatory
capital.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity relates primarily to the Company’s
ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers’ withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used
to satisfy these needs consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions,
securities available-for-sale and loans held for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were
$247.9 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $135.3 million at December 31, 2019.
38
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility
that the Company may not be able to meet the Company’s financial obligations and operating cash needs or may become overly
reliant upon external funding sources. In order to manage this risk, the Board of Directors of the Company has established a Liquidity
Policy that identifies primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity and quantifies
minimum liquidity requirements. This policy designates the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) as the body responsible
for meeting these objectives. The ALCO reviews liquidity regularly and evaluates significant changes in strategies that affect
balance sheet or cash flow positions. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer
and Asset Liability Manager.
The Company’s commercial real estate,
first mortgage residential, agricultural and multi-family mortgage portfolio of $606.1 million at September 30, 2020 and $610.9
million at December 31, 2019, which can and has been used to collateralize borrowings, is an additional source of liquidity. Management
believes the Company’s current liquidity level, without these borrowings, is sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. At September
30, 2020, all eligible commercial real estate, first mortgage residential and multi-family mortgage loans were pledged under an
FHLB blanket lien.
The cash flow statements for the periods presented
provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to
maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
and 2019 follows.
The Company experienced positive cash flows
from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities
was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Highlights
for the current year include $455.3 million in proceeds from the sale of loans, which is up $210.6 million from the prior year.
Originations of loans held for sale was a use of cash of $447.6 million, which is up from the prior year by $198.5 million. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was a gain on sale of loans of $18.4 million, and depreciation and amortization
of $1.4 million.
The Company experienced negative cash flows
from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Net cash flows used in investing
activities was $54.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $40.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2019. Highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include net cash provided from the acquisition of Edon of $16.3
million. Purchases of available-for-sale securities was $98.0 million, which is up $89.2 million from the prior year. These cash
payments were offset by $71.6 million in proceeds from maturities and sales of securities, which is up $54.3 million from the prior
nine-month period. The Company experienced a $44.8 million increase in loans, which is down $6.4 million from the prior year nine-month
period.
The Company experienced positive cash flows
from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Net cash flow provided by financing
activities was $116.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $38.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2019. Highlights for the current period include a $139.6 million increase in transaction deposits for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, which is up $120.9 million from the prior year. Certificates of deposit decreased by $16.9 million in the current
year compared to an increase of $26.7 million for the prior year.
ALCO uses an economic value of equity (“EVE”)
analysis to measure risk in the balance sheet incorporating all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet
positions. The EVE analysis calculates the net present value of the Company’s assets and liabilities in rate shock environments
that range from -400 basis points to +400 basis points. The likelihood of a significant decrease in rates as of September 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019 was considered unlikely given the current interest rate environment and therefore, only the minus 100 basis
point rate change was included in this analysis as of September 30, 2020 and only the minus 100 and minus 200 basis point rate
change was included in this analysis as of December 31, 2019. The results of this analysis are reflected in the following tables
for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Off-Balance-Sheet Borrowing Arrangements:
Significant additional off-balance-sheet liquidity
is available in the form of FHLB advances and unused federal funds lines from correspondent banks. Management expects the risk
of changes in off-balance-sheet arrangements to be immaterial to earnings.
The Company’s commercial
real estate, first mortgage residential, agricultural and multi-family mortgage portfolios in the total amount of $606.1 million
were pledged to meet FHLB collateralization requirements as of September 30, 2020. Based on the current collateralization requirements
of the FHLB, the Company had approximately $107.8 million of additional borrowing capacity at September 30, 2020. The Company also
had $60.3 million in unpledged securities available to pledge for additional borrowings.
The Company’s contractual obligations
as of September 30, 2020 were comprised of long-term debt obligations, other debt obligations, operating lease obligations and
other long-term liabilities. Long-term debt obligations were comprised of FHLB Advances of $8.0 million and Trust Preferred Securities
of $10.3 million. Total time deposits at September 30, 2020 were $250.4 million, of which $60.5 million mature beyond one year.
In addition, as of September 30, 2020, the
Company had commitments to sell mortgage loans totaling $76.8 million. The Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund
commitments as they arise and that it can adjust the rate on savings certificates to retain deposits in changing interest rate
environments. If the Company requires funds beyond its internal funding capabilities, advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati and
other financial institutions are available.
ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Asset liability management involves
developing, executing and monitoring strategies to maintain appropriate liquidity, maximize net interest income and minimize the
impact that significant fluctuations in market interest rates would have on current and future earnings. The business of the Company
and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans, mortgage-backed securities,
and securities available for sale) which are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). With the
exception of specific loans which are originated and held for sale, all of the financial instruments of the Company are for other
than trading purposes. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange
exposure. In addition, the Company has limited exposure to commodity prices related to agricultural loans. The impact of changes
in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant. The Company’s financial
instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. Interest rate risk
is the Company’s primary market risk exposure; to a lesser extent, liquidity risk also impacts market risk exposure.
40
Interest rate risk is the exposure of
a banking institution’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important
source of profitability and shareholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat
to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risks at
prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.
Evaluating a financial institution’s
exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest
rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest rate risk management process,
the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in
place to maintain interest rate risks at prudent levels of consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest
rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its
consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and asset quality (when appropriate).
The Federal Reserve Board together with
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement
on interest rate risk effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices
for managing interest rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest rate risk management
at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified
in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest rate risk.
Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive
risk management process that effectively identifies, measures and controls interest rate risk.
Financial institutions derive their
income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets
and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over
time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. For example, assume
that an institution’s assets carry intermediate or long-term fixed rates and that those assets are funded with short-term
liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s
interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly,
an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income
or possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest rate ceilings, or rate-sensitive
assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a declining rate environment.
There are several ways an institution
can manage interest rate risk including: 1) matching repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening
or lengthening terms of new loans, investments, or liabilities; 2) selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; and
3) hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial
instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, and other such derivative financial instruments can be used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive
to interest rate changes, they require management’s expertise to be effective. The Company does not currently utilize any
derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. As market conditions warrant, the Company may implement various
interest rate risk management strategies, including the use of derivative financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the President and
Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the principal

Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that:
● information required to be disclosed by

be accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
● information required to be disclosed by
the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports which the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act would
be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
● the Company’s disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
