LOGAN, OHIO

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. (the Bancorp), a bank holding company for The Citizens Bank of Logan (the Bank), collectively referred to as the “Company,” is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking services with operations conducted through offices in Hocking and Athens counties. These communities and surrounding areas are the source of substantially all the Company's deposit and loan activities. Secured loans are secured by business assets, consumer assets, residential real estate, and non-residential real estate. The majority of Company income is derived from commercial, real estate, and retail lending activities and investments. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bancorp and the Bank conform to GAAP and to general practices followed within the banking industry. Securities transactions have been accounted for on a trade date basis, wherein any gains or losses resulting from the transaction are recognized as of the date of the respective trade.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been extracted from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2014 filing on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 Form 10-K.

Information is presented in these notes with dollars expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted or specified.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Logan. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Common Stock Warrants

In June 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 119,003 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of common stock in the stock offering campaign. These warrants entitle the holder to purchase the Company’s common stock at 90% of the prior month’s closing book value. These warrants are valid for a period of two years and expire June 25, 2016. Allocated value of these common stock warrants, as of the grant date, is $187 thousand based on the Black Scholes methodology.

The following is a summary of maturities of securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2015:

	(Dollars in thousands)
	Securities available for sale

Amounts maturing in:

After ten years		5,044		5,029
Total	$	16,977	$	16,962

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

During the first three quarters of 2015, the Company sold available for sale securities, principally U.S. Treasury and Agencies, totaling $14.3 million with a weighted average yield of 1.65% and weighted average maturity of 3.9 years and reinvested in $3.0 million of tax exempt municipal bonds and U.S. Agencies with a weighted average yield of 2.45% and weighted average maturity of 6.2 years.

Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $16,024,000 and $28,793,000 were pledged to secure deposits as required or permitted by law at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, follows:

Total	$	5,651	$	(18	)	$	8,663	$	(115	)	$	14,314	$	(133	)

The investment portfolio contains unrealized losses of direct obligations of U.S. securities, including mortgage-related instruments issued or backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or are generally viewed as having the implied guarantee of the U.S. government, and debt obligations of a U.S. state or political subdivision. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given (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 and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any recovery in fair value.

As part of its monitoring process, the Bank utilizes a risk rating system which quantifies the risk the Bank estimates it has assumed when entering into a loan transaction and during the life of that loan. The system rates the strength of the borrower and the transaction and is designed to provide a program for risk management and early detection of problems. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 through 8, with a grade of 4 or below classified as “Pass” rated credits. Following is a description of the general characteristics of risk grades 5 through 8:

5 – Special Mention - The weighted overall risk associated with this credit is considered higher than normal (but still acceptable) or the loan possesses deficiencies which corrective action by the Bank would remedy, thereby reducing risk.

6 – Substandard - The weighted overall risk associated with this credit (based on each of the Bank’s creditworthiness criteria) is considered undesirable, the credit demonstrates a well-defined weakness or the Bank is inadequately protected and there exists the distinct possibility of sustaining some loss if not corrected.

7 – Doubtful - Weakness makes collection or liquidation in full (based on currently existing facts) improbable.

12 

8 – Loss - This credit is of little value and not warranted as a bankable asset. Accordingly, the Bank does not carry any loans on the books that are graded 8 – loss, instead these loans are charged off.

The Bank’s strategy for credit risk management includes ongoing credit examinations and management reviews of loans exhibiting deterioration of credit quality. A deteriorating credit indicates an elevated likelihood of delinquency. When a loan becomes delinquent, its credit grade is reviewed and changed accordingly. Each downgrade to a classified credit results in a higher percentage of reserve to reflect the increased likelihood of loss for similarly graded credits. Further deterioration could result in a certain credit being deemed impaired resulting in a collateral valuation for purposes of establishing a specific reserve which reflects the possible extent of such loss for that credit.

The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent analysis performed at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(1) – Pre-modification balance is calculated using the loan balance on the day prior to modification as TDR.

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Bank offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Loan terms that may be modified due to a borrower’s financial situation include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate, a reduction in the face amount of the debt, a reduction of the accrued interest, temporary interest-only payments, or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals, and rewrites. In mitigation, additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor may be requested.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, loans were typically modified by a reduction in rates, a change in the contractual maturity date of the note, or both. Four loans were modified with reduced interest rates, the contractual maturity date of three loans was extended, and five loans had the rate reduced and the amortization period extended. A single note was converted to interest only, with a balloon payment at maturity.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, loans were modified by either a reduction in rates or a change in the contractual maturity date of the note. Two loans were modified with reduced interest rates and the contractual maturity date of eight loans was extended.

17 

Loans modified as a TDR may already be on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs may have in some cases been taken against the outstanding loan balance. The allowance for impaired loans that has been modified in a TDR is measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent or on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these determinations.

There are no loans which were modified as a TDR within the previous twelve months that have subsequently defaulted as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 5 – BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Bank purchased $3.0 million of bank owned life insurance, the proceeds of which will help offset the cost of employee benefit plans. Two policies were purchased at $1.5 million each from A.M. Best rated “A+” insurance companies, insuring ten of the Bank’s senior executives. The policies are split dollar policies, providing one year’s salary to a deceased employee’s estate. Both policies feature variable crediting rates and are expected to produce an average ten year yield of about 5.50%, on a fully tax equivalent basis.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS

Bancorp renegotiated a substantial portion of the existing $5.0 million debt due December 29, 2015, achieving terms more favorable to Bancorp. The $5.0 million note was effectively split into a $2.7 million note and a $2.3 million note. The $2.3 million note was exchanged for 28,675 shares of Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. common stock (valued at $22.86 per share) and a new $1.6 million note with a more favorable interest rate and a maturity date of August 2021. The $2.7 million original par note maintains the original terms and continues to be secured by real property held by the Bancorp.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company made a payment of $1,000,000 to the principal of the $2.7 million note maturing December 29, 2015, reducing the current outstanding balance to $1,626,109.

Management is actively engaged in the sale of the remainder of the OREO property held at the Bancorp, which will provide additional liquidity to meet required debt servicing payments. The Bancorp is also pursuing other borrowing avenues to ensure there is adequate cash to meet debt servicing needs.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Accordingly, investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Investment securities available for sale - Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions, and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include securities issued by government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds. Level 3 securities include those with unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels can occur due to changes in the observability of significant inputs.

The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Impaired loans - The Bank does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses may need to be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of substantially all of the impaired loans was estimated based on the fair value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

Other real estate owned (OREO) - OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of the investment in the real estate or its fair value less estimated selling costs. The fair value of OREO is determined on a nonrecurring basis generally utilizing current appraisals performed by an independent, licensed appraiser applying an income or market value approach using observable market data (level 2). However, if a current appraisal is not available, the original appraised value is discounted, as appropriate, to compensate for the estimated depreciation in the value of the real estate since the date of its original appraisal. Such discounts are generally estimated based upon management’s knowledge of sales of similar property within the applicable market area and its knowledge of other real estate market-related data as well as general economic trends (Level 3). Upon foreclosure, any fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value disclosures for other financial instruments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Cash and cash equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated to approximate the carrying amounts.

Other investment securities - Other investment securities consist of restricted equity securities in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and are carried at cost. Because there is no market, the carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans - The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The estimated cash flows do not anticipate prepayments.

Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented for loans would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

Accrued interest receivable and payable - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Bank owned life insurance – The fair value of bank owned life insurance approximates the cash surrender value of the policies.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, regular savings, and certain types of money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowed funds - The carrying amounts of borrowed funds which mature within 90 days approximate their fair values. The fair values of other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently offered on similar instruments.

Off-balance sheet instruments - The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties. The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are deemed insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and carrying values are not shown.

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis as of September 30, 2015

Overview. Citizens Independent Bancorp. Inc. (“Holding Company,” “Bancorp,” “we,” or “our”) was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1994 as the bank holding company for The Citizens Bank of Logan (“Citizens Bank” or “Bank”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Bancorp and the Bank are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the Company. Holding Company is headquartered in Logan, Ohio, and offers a broad range of financial services through Citizens Bank, an Ohio chartered commercial bank. The Bank is currently regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (ODFI). Holding Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (FRB).

Citizens Bank is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking. The Bank’s primary market area is Hocking, Fairfield, and Athens Counties, Ohio. The Bank serves this market through four full service locations, which include the Bank’s main office located at 188 West Main Street, Logan, Hocking County, Ohio, and one limited service locations. The Bank maintains drive-up facilities as well as ATM equipment at all branches. At September 23, 2015, the Bank closed one of the two limited services, in store, branches, as a cost savings initiative. The principal economic activities in the Bank’s market area include manufacturing, the service sector for local universities, tourism, construction, healthcare, retailing, and food services. The Bank grants residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans to customers primarily located in the Bank’s footprint of Hocking, Athens, and Fairfield counties.

In October 2012, the Bank entered into a publicly available Consent Order with the FDIC and a Written Agreement with the DFI (collectively referred to as the Orders), which contain a number of listed deliverables and filing deadlines. Significant among the required actions not yet met is the completion of a capital plan which will result in the Bank meeting and maintaining its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets at a minimum of 8.50% and its level of qualifying total capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 11.50%. The completion of the Company’s capital campaign and subsequent investment in the Bank, along with earnings have increased the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets to 8.61% and the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets to 14.29%, as of September 30, 2015.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive analysis of the issues facing management than can be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and selected financial data elsewhere in this filing.

The Bank’s profitability, as with most financial institutions, is significantly dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest received on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities and the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. During a period of economic slowdown the lack of interest income from non-performing assets and additional provision for loan loss can greatly reduce profitability. Results of operations are also impacted by noninterest income, such as service charges on deposit accounts and fees on other services, income from lending services as well as noninterest expense such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, professional and other services, and other expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned net income of $428 thousand, or $0.67 per share, compared to net income of $702 thousand or $1.33 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Key items affecting the Company’s results for the first nine months of 2015:

· Net interest income increased by $124 thousand period-over-period for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For 2015, a $164 thousand decline in interest income was more than offset by a $288 thousand decrease in interest expense.

· Noninterest income decreased by $99 thousand to $1.186 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The period-over-period decrease can be attributed to smaller gains on the sale of repossessed assets totaling $211 thousand for the nine months ended in 2015 compared to $477 thousand for the comparable period in 2014, offset by gains of $168 thousand on the sale of securities in 2015.

25 

· Noninterest expense declined slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 with expenses of $5.760 million and $5.802 million respectively.

· Income tax expense for the nine month period ending September 30, 2015 was $155 thousand, versus no income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 due to the deferred tax asset valuation, which was reversed in December 2014.

· Non-performing loans were $1.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The period-over-period activity primarily consisted of principal payments of $3.7 million, principal write-offs of $1.4 million, upgrades to accrual status of $1.1 million, and the transfer to OREO of $0.1 million.

· Gross loans increased $0.4 million, or 0.2%, to $146.8 million as of September 30, 2015 compared to $146.4 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase is the result of loan originations of $23.8 million offset by $23.4 million in principal reductions during the first nine months of 2015.

· Deposits decreased $9.9 million relative to year end balances with $168.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and $178.0 million as of December 31, 2014.

· Shareholders’ equity at the Company increased $2.3 million, or 15.6%, to $17.2 million as of September 30, 2015 from the December 31, 2014 equity position. This increase was due to net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $1.9 million and net income of $428 thousand with a decrease of $3 thousand in other comprehensive income resulting from the recognition in equity of a net unrealized loss on the Company’s available for sale investment portfolio during the first nine months of 2015. Tier I Leverage Capital and Total Risk Based Capital at the Bank were 8.61% and 14.29%, respectively, as of September 30, 2015 and 8.11% and 13.39%, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio now exceeds the 8.50% required under the Orders.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned net income of $428 thousand, a $274 thousand decline from the $702 thousand net income reported as of September 30, 2014. The decrease in earnings can primarily be attributed to a $99 thousand less in noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relative to the corresponding period in 2014, the $186 thousand loan loss provision recovery realized in 2014, and the recognition of $155 thousand in income tax expense in 2015 versus none in 2014. These were partially offset by a $42 thousand reduction in noninterest expense. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $124 thousand, or 2.5%, greater than the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $6.1 million, a $164 thousand, or 2.6%, decrease from the $6.3 million earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The yield on earning assets increased 18 basis points (bps) to 4.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income earned from the loan portfolio increased $89 thousand, or 1.6%, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in interest income from the loan portfolio can be attributed to both the $1.7 million increase in average loans period-over-period and a 2 bps increase in the yield, which was 5.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus 5.40% for the same period in 2014.

Interest income from the investment portfolio declined $251 thousand, or 46.7%, to $287 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $538 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Average assets for the securities portfolio declined $12.5 million and the yield decreased by 37 basis points. Securities sales during the nine month period ending September 30, 2015 totaled $14.3 million with an average yield of 1.65% and weighted average maturity of 3.9 years. There were no sales of investment securities during the nine month period ending September 30, 2014. Purchases of investment securities for the period ending September 30, 2015 totaled $3.0 million with an average yield of 2.45% and weighted average maturity of 6.2 years. For the same period in 2014, securities purchases were $5.0 million with an average yield of 1.99% and weighted average maturity of 3.7 years.

27 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $965 thousand, a $288 thousand, or 23.0%, decrease from the $1,253 thousand in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense for deposits declined $221 thousand, or 24.2%, to $691 thousand for the nine months September 30, 2015. Average balances of interest bearing deposits decreased by $15.5 million, or 9.5%, declining to $148.1 million at September 30, 2015 from $163.6 million at September 30, 2014.

Interest expense for other borrowings was $274 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $341 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the 2015 period, $656 thousand in common stock was exchanged for a like amount of debt and a $1 million payment was made to pay down debt principal resulting in reduced interest expense. Average outstanding debt decreased from $6.3 million during the period ending September 30, 2014 to $5.3 million for the period ending September 30, 2015.

Net interest margins continue to be under heavy pressure as higher yielding loans reprice downward, are refinanced at lower rates, or paid off early. During the first nine months of 2015, loans totaling $4.1 million have either repriced or refinanced at interest rates averaging 158 basis points below original rates. The Bank has continued to drive the composition of the loan portfolio towards variable rate loans as protection against rising interest rates. Management has decided to retain a larger percentage of mortgage loans in-house rather than selling to the secondary market. The loan mix resulting from holding these typically variable rate loans in portfolio will depress the net interest margin in the short term, but should be additive as interest rates rise and these loans begin to reprice. The loan portfolio currently consists of 66% variable rate loans. The Bank continues to aggressively reduce interest rates paid on a large group of deposit accounts and continues to monitor certificate of deposit rates versus our peers.A strategic decision to reduce the reliance on certificates of deposit is producing results as these relatively higher priced retail certificates of deposit are approximately $7.3 million less than at December 31, 2014.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned net income of $177 thousand, a $26 thousand decrease from the $203 thousand net income reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease can primarily be attributed to net interest income falling $21 thousand, noninterest income increasing $218 thousand, offset by increased noninterest expenses of $156 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2015 was $67 thousand, versus no expense in the third quarter of 2014 due to the deferred income tax asset valuation, which was reversed in December 2014. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.738 million, a decrease of $21 thousand, or 1.2%, from the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.0 million, a $118 thousand, or 5.5%, decrease from the $2.1 million earned during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The yield on earning assets improved by 9 bps to 4.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income earned from the loan portfolio decreased $15 thousand, or 0.8%, to $1.953 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.968 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in interest income from the loan portfolio can be attributed to the 7 basis points decrease in the yield, which was 5.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus 5.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Average loan balances for the respective periods increased $0.7 million from $143.4 million to $144.1 million, an increase of 0.5%.

Interest income from the investment portfolio declined $104 thousand, or 59.4%, to $71 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $175 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Average assets for the securities portfolio decreased $18.2 million and the yield decreased by 39 bps. During the three month period ending September 30, 2015, there were securities sales totaling $3.3 million at a yield of 1.20% and weighted average maturity of 2.8 years. There were no purchases of investment securities during the three month periods ending September 30, 2015 and no purchases or sales of investment portfolio securities for the three month period ending September 30, 2014.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $303 thousand, a $97 thousand, or 24.3%, decrease from the $400 thousand in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense for deposits declined $66 thousand, or 23.2%, to $219 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Average balances of interest bearing deposits decreased by $18.2 million, or 11.2%, declining to $144.0 million at September 30, 2015 from $162.2 million at September 30, 2014.

Interest expense for other borrowings was $84 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $115 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, a $1.0 million principal payment was made to reduce the debt.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income, which consists primarily of fees and commissions earned on services such as deposits, credit cards, and ATMs that are provided to the Bank’s customers, and to a lesser extent, gains on sales of OREO and other repossessed assets, and other miscellaneous income, decreased $99 thousand, or 7.7%, to $1.186 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.285 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The period-over-period decrease in noninterest income can primarily be attributed to a decrease of $266 thousand in gains on the sale of OREO properties in the 2015 period versus the comparable nine month period in 2014, partially offset by a $168 thousand increase in gains on the sale of securities during the same period. The following is a discussion of other significant period-over-period changes in other material noninterest income categories:

· Income from service fees decreased $36 thousand, or 10.4%, to $311 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $347 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease can primarily be attributed to a $44 thousand period-over-period decrease in revenue from the Bank’s overdraft protection product owing to a change in the order in which items are processed.

· Gains realized on the sale of available for sale securities during the first three quarters of 2015 totaled $168 thousand. The available for sale securities portfolio was reduced through the sale of $14.3 million of securities to better defend against anticipated rising interest rates. During the comparable period of 2014, there were no securities sales.

· Gains on sale of OREO properties totaled $211 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $266 thousand from the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company sold 8 bank properties with a carrying value of $815 thousand and 21 parcels held by the holding company versus 25 properties with a carrying value of $2,068 thousand during the comparable period of 2014.

· Other income increased $28 thousand, or 13.5%, during the first nine months of 2015 to $235 thousand. Mortgage commissions earned on third party funded loan sales to the secondary market increased by $30 thousand, or 94.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to a renewed emphasis on this business segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, noninterest income increased by $218 thousand, or 57.4%. The period-over-period increase in noninterest income can primarily be attributed to a $149 thousand increase in gains recognized on the sale of OREO properties. The following is a discussion of other significant period-over-period changes in other material noninterest income categories:

30 

· Income from service fees increased $3 thousand, or 2.5%, to $124 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $121 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase can primarily be attributed to a $4 thousand period-over-period increase in revenue from the Bank’s commercial account analysis products.

· Gains realized on the sale of available for sale securities during the third calendar quarter of 2015 totaled $20 thousand. The available for sale securities portfolio was reduced during the quarter through the sale of an additional $3.3 million of securities to better defend against anticipated rising interest rates. During the comparable period of 2014, there were no securities sales.

· Gains on sale of OREO properties totaled $255 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus a gain of $106 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the three month period ended September 30, 2015 the Company sold 2 properties with carrying values of $27 thousand.

· Other income increased $45 thousand, or 68.2%, during the three month period ending September 30, 2015 to $111 thousand. Mortgage broker commissions, earned on the sale of loans funded by the purchasing entity, grew by $30 thousand relative to the third quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense, which consists primarily of personnel, occupancy, equipment, and other operating expenses, decreased by $42 thousand, or 0.7%, between the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to changes in only a few categories. The following is a discussion of significant period-over-period changes for other material noninterest expense categories:

· Salary and benefit expense declined by $204 thousand, or 7.9%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relative to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the savings realized from reductions in personnel, a change in the Bank’s policy towards employee paid time off, and reduced costs associated with employee health care expenses.

· Net occupancy and equipment expense was down from that of the comparable prior period, decreasing by $132 thousand, or 16.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Cost savings flowing from the closing of an unprofitable branch in 2014 amount to some $25 thousand. Depreciation expense is down $53 thousand relative to the first three quarters of 2014 when obsolete equipment and furnishings were written off. Savings of $73 thousand in maintenance and upkeep were realized through the sale of a property previously considered as a branch location.

· Expenses on other real estate owned were $144 thousand less for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relative to the period ended September 30, 2014 as 2014 included expenses of $86 thousand to adjust the carrying value of OREO properties to their net realizable value. Remaining savings have been realized by reducing the balance of OREO properties from $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2014 to $0.4 million for the first nine months of 2015.

· Premiums associated with FDIC insurance are $178 thousand, or 49.4%, less for the period ending September 30, 2015 relative to the period ending September 30, 2014 as average deposit balances have fallen $18.2 million and the premium surcharge has been reduced.

· Legal fees increased $157 thousand, or 56.9%, for the nine month period in 2015 versus that of 2014 as the Bank has aggressively resolved problem assets.

· Other operating expenses have increased $395 thousand, or 45.4%, during the first three quarters of 2015 relative to the first three quarters of 2014. The closing of an unprofitable branch, part of a cost savings initiative, required the buy-out of the existing lease as well as the immediate write-off of leasehold improvements. The resulting expense recognition was $148 thousand. The complete write-off of stock received as collateral in a loan foreclosure in 2012 resulted in a $100 thousand expense recognition. Director’s fees increased $57 thousand, or 49.8%, relative to the same period in 2014.

Noninterest expense, which consists primarily of personnel, occupancy, equipment, and other operating expenses, was up $156 thousand, or 8.1%, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 relative to September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to changes in several expense categories, but most especially in legal fees and other expenses associated with a branch closing. The following is a discussion of significant period-over-period changes for other material noninterest expense categories:

· Salary and benefit expense declined by $68 thousand, or 7.9%, to $792 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015 relative to the three months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting reductions in personnel instituted by the Bank, a change in the policy towards employee paid time off, and reduced costs associated with employee health care expenses.

31 

· Net occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $9 thousand, or 4.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as the Company successfully appealed a real estate tax assessment and received a $12 thousand refund.

· Expenses on other real estate owned were $47 thousand less for the three months ended September 30, 2015 relative to the period ended September 30, 2014. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, expenses of $12 thousand were required to adjust the carrying value of other real estate owned properties to net realizable value, and no such expenses have been required in 2015. Remaining savings have been realized by reducing the average balance of OREO properties from $1.2 million for the first three months of 2014 to $0.4 million for the first three months of 2015.

· Legal and professional fees were $151 thousand more in the three month period ended September 30, 2015 relative to the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as the Bank has aggressively resolved problem assets. Several nonrecurring issues such as the new BOLI contract and executive compensation agreements have also contributed to the 2015 expense.

· Other operating expenses have increased $224 thousand, or 77.0%, during the third quarter of 2015 relative to the third quarter of 2014. The closing of an unprofitable branch, part of a cost savings initiative, required the buy-out of the existing lease as well as the immediate write-off of leasehold improvements. The resulting expense recognition was $148 thousand. Director’s fees increased $10 thousand, or 20.0%, relative to the same period in 2014. Other, miscellaneous expenses such as training costs for existing employees ($12 thousand increase) and accruals for executive relocation ($10 thousand increase) have also contributed to the increase.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings, which are shown in the consolidated statement of income as the provision for loan losses. Through the provision for loan losses, an allowance is maintained that reflects management’s best estimate of probable incurred loan losses related to specifically identified loans as well as the inherent risk of loss related to the remaining portfolio. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers various factors that include loan growth, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, (including non-performing and potential problem loans), diversification, or conversely, concentrations by industry, geography, or collateral within the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Loan charge-offs are recorded to this allowance when loans are deemed uncollectible, in whole or in part. Impacting the provision for loan losses in any accounting period are several factors including the amount of loan growth during the period, broken down by loan type, the level of charge-offs during the period, the changes in the amount of impaired loans, changes in risk ratings assigned to loans, specific loan impairments, credit quality, and ultimately, the results of management’s assessment of the inherent risks of the loan portfolio.

The major component of the allowance for loan losses is the general reserve based on the guidance of ASC 450 wherein the homogeneous groups of loan are evaluated based upon the Bank’s loss history for that particular group over the prior 36 months. Based upon this guidance and the actual level of charge-offs during the 36 month lookback period, the general reserve requirement has fallen substantially during the nine month period from 1.49% of gross loans at December 31, 2014 to 1.17% at September 30, 2015.

Environmental factors are also considered in the calculation of allowance for loan and lease losses. For this measure eleven separate environmental factors are examined which are discussed in further detail in the allowance for loan loss section following. The environmental factor has increased relative to December 31, 2014, as additional regional economic factors are considered.

Overall, the loan loss reserve, as a percentage of gross loans, has declined from 2.64% at December 31, 2014 to 1.63% at September 30, 2015.

The recovery of excess allowance for loan and lease losses during the second quarter of 2014 resulted in a credit balance of $186 thousand in loan loss provision expense through the three quarters ended September 30, 2014 versus no provision for loan loss expense or recovery during the three quarters ended September 30, 2015.

There was no provision expense or recovery recorded in the three month periods ending September 30, 2015, or that ending September 30, 2014.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 adequate to cover loan losses based on its assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including the level of problem loans, overall delinquencies, business conditions, estimated collateral values, and loss experience. A further decline in local and national economic conditions, or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Prior to the fiscal year end at December 31, 2015, management will work with the Board of Directors to determine whether any additional portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses should be recaptured.

Changes in Condition from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015.

Overview. Total assets decreased $9.5 million to $192.3 million on September 30, 2015 from $201.8 million on December 31, 2014.

Loan Portfolio. Gross loans have increased $0.4 million, or 0.2%, to $146.8 million as of September 30, 2015 from a balance of $146.4 million on December 31, 2014. The increase is the net effect of new origination activity totaling $23.8 million, and $23.4 million of principal reduction for the first nine months of 2015. Principal reductions include net loan charge-offs of $1.5 million and transfers to OREO totaling $0.2 million. An additional $3.7 million in nonaccrual loans were paid off during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. The new originations were primarily consumer mortgage loans ($8.5 million or, 35.6% of the period’s originations) and commercial real estate ($7.6 million, or 32.1% of the total period’s originations) and secured, titled consumer loans ($4.8 million, or 20.0% of the total period’s originations). The emphasis on consumer lending is part of a strategic initiative to re-balance the loan portfolio to be more equally weighted between commercial and consumer loans. This trend is expected to continue for the remainder of 2015 and is a strategic goal of the 2015 budget. As of September 30, 2015, consumer mortgage loans totaled $40.8 million, or 27.8%, of gross loans versus $38.8 million, or 26.5%, of gross loans at December 31, 2014.

The Company’s loan portfolio represents its largest and highest yielding assets. The fundamental lending business of the Company is based on understanding, measuring, and controlling the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company’s loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk entails both general risks, which are inherent in the process of lending, and risk specific to individual borrowers. The Company’s credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification, which limits exposure to any single customer, industry, or collateral type. Typically, each consumer and residential lending product has a generally predictable level of credit losses based on historical loss experience. Home mortgage and home equity loans and lines generally have the lowest credit loss experience, while loans secured by personal property, such as auto loans, are generally expected to experience more elevated credit losses. Credit risk in commercial lending can vary significantly, as losses as a percentage of outstanding loans can shift widely during economic cycles and are particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions. Generally, improving economic conditions result in improved operating results on the part of commercial customers, enhancing their ability to meet their particular debt service requirements. Improvements, if any, in operating cash flows can be offset by the impact of rising interest rates that may occur during improved economic times. Declining economic conditions have an adverse effect on the operating results of commercial customers, reducing their ability to meet debt service obligations.

To control and manage credit risk, management has a credit process in place to ensure credit standards are maintained along with strong oversight and review procedures. The primary purpose of loan underwriting is the evaluation of specific lending risks and involves the analysis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt as well as the assessment of the value of the underlying collateral. Oversight and review procedures include the monitoring of portfolio credit quality, early identification of potential problem credits, and the aggressive management of problem credits. Executive management has implemented and continues to focus on the following measures to manage credit risk in the loan portfolios:

1) Reviewed all underwriting guidelines for various loan portfolios and have strengthened underwriting guidelines where needed;

2) Evaluated outside loan review parameters, engaging the services of a well-established firm to continue with such loan review, addressing not only specific loans but underwriting analysis, documentation, credit evaluation, and risk identification;

3) Increased the frequency of internal reviews of past due and delinquent loans to assess probable credit risks early in the delinquency process to minimize losses;

4) Aggressively seeks ownership and control, when appropriate, of real estate properties, which would otherwise go through time-consuming and costly foreclosure proceedings to effectively control the disposition of such collateral;

33 

5) Aggressively obtaining updated financial information on commercial credits and performing analytical reviews to determine debt source capacities in business performance trends.

Allowance for Loan Loss (ALLL). The ALLL represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is actively maintained to ensure future earnings are not impacted by credit losses. Reserves are based on historical loss analysis, assessment of current portfolio and market conditions, and any identified loss potential in specific credits. Reserve levels are recommended by senior management on a quarterly basis and approved by the Board of Directors.

The ALLL is composed of a reserve to absorb probable and quantifiable losses based on current knowledge of the loan portfolio and a reserve to absorb losses which are not specifically identified, but can be reasonably expected.

Following the guidelines set forth in GAAP, Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and all other relevant supervisory guidance, the adequacy of the ALLL is ensured by applying consistent methods of identification, analysis, computation, documentation, and reporting.

The Bank’s ALLL has two components, the general reserve and the specific reserve. Included in the general reserve is the environmental reserve.

The general reserve is calculated by applying annualized net loan losses taken during a 36 month rolling look back period to the current loan portfolio, less any loans considered in the specific reserve analysis. To reflect the variations in risk of different loan products, the portfolio is segmented by collateral type, borrower type, and underwriting process.

The specific reserve is the calculated impairment of all loans classified as impaired, with a minimum outstanding principal balance of $100,000. A loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan agreement’s contractual terms. All loans classified as TDRs are also evaluated in the specific reserve. Impairment is measured based on one of the three following methods:

· Present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate;

· Loan’s observable market price; or

· Fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The environmental reserve allows management to consider qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical loss experience. The Bank’s environmental reserve considers 11 risk factors which are evaluated as minimal, low, moderate, or high risk. As the overall risk level of the environmental factors increases, the proportion of the loan portfolio held in reserve also increases. Risk factors considered in the analysis are:

· Lending experience, with particular attention paid to new lenders;

· Exceptions to loan policy;

· Rate of total portfolio delinquency;

· Growth rate of loan portfolio;

· Exposure to commercial loan concentrations;

· Exposure to “watch list” loans;

· Consumer sentiment;

· General economic conditions;

· Regulatory risk;

· Unemployment, with particular attention paid to local unemployment; and

· Vintage risk, with particular attention paid to underwriting procedures at time loans were made.

Other Borrowings. Borrowed funds totaled $4.3 million as of September 30, 2015, decreased $1.9 million, or 30.8%, from the December 31, 2014 balance. In February 2015, the Company renegotiated a $2.3 million portion of a $5.0 million note payable. Under the new terms, the $2.3 million note, with an 8.00% interest rate and a maturity date of December 2015, was retired, and the Company issued $656 thousand of common stock and a new note totaling $1.644 million, with a 6.00% interest rate and a maturity date of August 2021. Savings in borrowing expense due to the transaction were $50 thousand during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

The borrowings consist of four loans made to the Bancorp from outside creditors. The loans must be repaid from Bancorp cash. The Bank is permitted to make appropriate dividend payments to Bancorp, provided designated capital levels are maintained and advance permission is obtained. As of September 30, 2015, Bancorp’s cash position was $0.6 million. Management is engaged in the sale of the remainder of the OREO property held at the Bancorp, which will generate additional cash at the Bancorp level.

Loan 4	$	1,644,547		6.00	%	Monthly	Interest Only	8/4/2021

During the third quarter, a $1 million principal paydown was made to Loan 1, reducing that principal to $1.6 million. Resulting savings are $20 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

No FHLB borrowings were outstanding as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The Bank had an approved FHLB line-of-credit of $14.9 million as of September 30, 2015. In addition, the Company has collateralized federal fund lines of $8.1 million with the FRB as well as an unsecured line of $1.0 million with Great Lakes Bankers Bank. No line was drawn upon as of September 30, 2015. The FHLB line is secured via the pledge of mortgage loans totaling $26.5 million, the Federal Reserve federal fund line is secured via the pledge of $10.4 million of automobile loans, and the Great Lakes Bankers Bank line is unsecured.

Federal Income Taxes

At September 30, 2015, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11.4 million. These carryforwards, comprising the majority of the deferred tax asset, will begin to expire in 2031.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Given substantial losses in prior periods, a determination was previously made to record a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. In December 2014, the valuation reserve was reversed due to it being “more likely than not” that the carryforward losses would be used prior to expiration.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. Financial institutions such as Citizens Bank, generate income primarily through lending and investing activities. The risk of loss from lending and investing activities includes the possibility that losses may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the loan or investment agreement. This possibility is known as credit risk.

Lending or investing activities that concentrate assets in a way that exposes the Company to a material loss from any single occurrence or group of occurrences increases credit risk. Diversifying loans and investments to prevent concentrations of risks is one way a financial institution can reduce potential losses due to credit risk. Examples of asset concentrations would include multiple loans made to a single borrower and loans of inappropriate size relative to the total capitalization of the institution. Management believes adherence to its loan and investment policies allows it to control its exposure to concentrations of credit risk at acceptable levels. The Bank’s loan portfolio is concentrated geographically in central Ohio. Management has identified lending for non-owner occupied residential real estate as a lending concentration. Total loans for income generating property totaled $29.8 million at September 30, 2015, which represents 20.3% of the Company’s loan portfolio. Management believes it has the skill and experience to manage any risks associated with this type of lending. Loans in this category are generally paying as agreed without any unusual or unexpected levels of delinquency. The delinquency rate in this category, which is any loan 30 days or more past due, was 1.1% at September 30, 2015. Management has also identified sub-prime loans (less than a 660 credit score) and unsecured loans as concentrations. As of September 30, 2015, loans to sub-prime borrowers totaled $10.8 million (7.4% of total portfolio), with 3.4% of these credits 30 days or more past due. In addition, unsecured loans totaled $4.8 million as of September 30, 2015, or 3.3% of the loan portfolio, with a delinquency rate, which is any loan 30 days or more past due, of 0.7% at September 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its core deposit base, raised through the Bank’s branch network, along with wholesale sources of funding and its capital base. These funds, along with investment securities, provide the ability to meet the needs of depositors while funding new loan demand and existing commitments.

Cash provided by operating activities was $358 thousand and $367 thousand for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by or used in operations during the periods presented consist primarily of the net gains from the sales of other real estate owned and investment securities, provision for loan losses, depreciation expense, and increases and decreases in accrued interest payable, other assets, and other liabilities.

35 

The primary investing activity of the Bank is lending, which is funded with cash provided from operating and financing activities, as well as proceeds from payment on existing loans and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities.

In considering the more typical investing activities, during the first nine months of 2015, $1.1 million of cash was generated from sale of other real estate owned and $2.0 million was used to fund the increase in the loan portfolio. During the first nine months of 2015, $2.9 million was generated from the combination of maturity, pay-downs, or calls of available-for-sale investment securities and $14.4 million resulted from the sale of available-for-sale securities. Purchases of available-for-sale securities used $3.1 million of available cash. No securities were sold during the first nine months of 2014, while purchases totaled $5.1 million, which were partially funded by cash of $3.0 million provided by the maturities or calls of investment securities.

Financing activities decreased cash balances by a net total of $9.8 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. Reductions in deposit balances removed $9.8 million from the Bank while proceeds from the issuance of the Bancorp’s common stock totaled $1.2 million after costs. Payments on the Company’s debts totaled $1.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

For additional information about cash flows from the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There are no matters required to be reported under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Bancorp carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date, in timely alerting them to material information required to be in the Company’s (including its consolidated subsidiary) periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Accordingly, investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Investment securities available for sale - Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions, and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include securities issued by government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds. Level 3 securities include those with unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels can occur due to changes in the observability of significant inputs.

The following are assets and liabilities that were accounted for or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis:

The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Impaired loans - The Bank does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses may need to be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of substantially all of the impaired loans was estimated based on the fair value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

Other real estate owned (OREO) - OREO consists of real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans. Such assets are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of the investment in the real estate or its fair value less estimated selling costs. The fair value of OREO is determined on a nonrecurring basis generally utilizing current appraisals performed by an independent, licensed appraiser applying an income or market value approach using observable market data (level 2). However, if a current appraisal is not available, the original appraised value is discounted, as appropriate, to compensate for the estimated depreciation in the value of the real estate since the date of its original appraisal. Such discounts are generally estimated based upon management’s knowledge of sales of similar property within the applicable market area and its knowledge of other real estate market-related data as well as general economic trends (Level 3). Upon foreclosure, any fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value disclosures for other financial instruments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Cash and cash equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated to approximate the carrying amounts.

Other investment securities - Other investment securities consist of restricted equity securities in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and are carried at cost. Because there is no market, the carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans - The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The estimated cash flows do not anticipate prepayments.

Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented for loans would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

Accrued interest receivable and payable - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Bank owned life insurance – the fair value of bank owned life insurance approximates the cash surrender value of the policies.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, regular savings, and certain types of money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowed funds - The carrying amounts of borrowed funds which mature within 90 days approximate their fair values. The fair values of other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently offered on similar instruments.

Off-balance sheet instruments - The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties. The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are deemed insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and carrying values are not shown.

The estimated fair value of the financial instruments is as follows:

The investment portfolio contains unrealized losses of direct obligations of U.S. securities, including mortgage-related instruments issued or backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or are generally viewed as having the implied guarantee of the U.S. government, and debt obligations of a U.S. state or political subdivision. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given (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 and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any recovery in fair value.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS

Bancorp renegotiated a substantial portion of the existing $5.0 million debt due December 29, 2015, achieving terms more favorable to Bancorp. The $5.0 million note was effectively split into a $2.7 million note and a $2.3 million note. The $2.3 million note was exchanged for 28,675 shares of Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. common stock (valued at $22.86 per share) and a new $1.6 million note with a more favorable interest rate and a maturity date of August 2021. The $2.7 million original par note maintains the original terms and continues to be secured by real property held by the Bancorp.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company made a payment of $1,000,000 to the principal of the $2.7 million note maturing December 29, 2015, reducing the current outstanding balance to $1,626,109.

Management is actively engaged in the sale of the remainder of the OREO property held at the Bancorp, which will provide additional liquidity to meet required debt servicing payments. The Bancorp is also pursuing other borrowing avenues to ensure there is adequate cash to meet debt servicing needs.

As part of its monitoring process, the Bank utilizes a risk rating system which quantifies the risk the Bank estimates it has assumed when entering into a loan transaction and during the life of that loan. The system rates the strength of the borrower and the transaction and is designed to provide a program for risk management and early detection of problems. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 through 8, with a grade of 4 or below classified as “Pass” rated credits. Following is a description of the general characteristics of risk grades 5 through 8:

5 – Special Mention - The weighted overall risk associated with this credit is considered higher than normal (but still acceptable) or the loan possesses deficiencies which corrective action by the Bank would remedy, thereby reducing risk.

6 – Substandard - The weighted overall risk associated with this credit (based on each of the Bank’s creditworthiness criteria) is considered undesirable, the credit demonstrates a well-defined weakness or the Bank is inadequately protected and there exists the distinct possibility of sustaining some loss if not corrected.

7 – Doubtful - Weakness makes collection or liquidation in full (based on currently existing facts) improbable.

8 – Loss - This credit is of little value and not warranted as a bankable asset. Accordingly, the Bank does not carry any loans on the books that are graded 8 – loss, instead these loans are charged off.

The Bank’s strategy for credit risk management includes ongoing credit examinations and management reviews of loans exhibiting deterioration of credit quality. A deteriorating credit indicates an elevated likelihood of delinquency. When a loan becomes delinquent, its credit grade is reviewed and changed accordingly. Each downgrade to a classified credit results in a higher percentage of reserve to reflect the increased likelihood of loss for similarly graded credits. Further deterioration could result in a certain credit being deemed impaired resulting in a collateral valuation for purposes of establishing a specific reserve which reflects the possible extent of such loss for that credit.

The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent analysis performed at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(1) – Pre-modification balance is calculated using the loan balance on the day prior to modification as TDR.

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Bank offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Loan terms that may be modified due to a borrower’s financial situation include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate, a reduction in the face amount of the debt, a reduction of the accrued interest, temporary interest-only payments, or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals, and rewrites. In mitigation, additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor may be requested.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, loans were typically modified by a reduction in rates, a change in the contractual maturity date of the note, or both. Four loans were modified with reduced interest rates, the contractual maturity date of three loans was extended, and five loans had the rate reduced and the amortization period extended. A single note was converted to interest only, with a balloon payment at maturity.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, loans were modified by either a reduction in rates or a change in the contractual maturity date of the note. Two loans were modified with reduced interest rates and the contractual maturity date of eight loans was extended.

Loans modified as a TDR may already be on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs may have in some cases been taken against the outstanding loan balance. The allowance for impaired loans that has been modified in a TDR is measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent or on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these determinations.

There are no loans which were modified as a TDR within the previous twelve months that have subsequently defaulted as of September 30, 2015.

The following table presents the loan portfolio by class summarized by aging categories, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. (the Bancorp), a bank holding company for The Citizens Bank of Logan (the Bank), collectively referred to as the “Company,” is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking services with operations conducted through offices in Hocking and Athens counties. These communities and surrounding areas are the source of substantially all the Company's deposit and loan activities. Secured loans are secured by business assets, consumer assets, residential real estate, and non-residential real estate. The majority of Company income is derived from commercial, real estate, and retail lending activities and investments. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bancorp and the Bank conform to GAAP and to general practices followed within the banking industry. Securities transactions have been accounted for on a trade date basis, wherein any gains or losses resulting from the transaction are recognized as of the date of the respective trade.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been extracted from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2014 filing on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2014 Form 10-K.

Information is presented in these notes with dollars expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted or specified.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Independent Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Logan. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Common Stock Warrants

In June 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 119,003 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of common stock in the stock offering campaign. These warrants entitle the holder to purchase the Company’s common stock at 90% of the prior month’s closing book value. These warrants are valid for a period of two years and expire June 25, 2016. Allocated value of these common stock warrants, as of the grant date, is $187 thousand based on the Black Scholes methodology.
