All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting.

The Company’s unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and predominant practices within the banking industry, and are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation are of a normal and recurring nature and have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016 or any other future period.

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2016.

Use of Estimates

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the potential impairment of goodwill, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities and the valuation of real estate acquired by foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly affected by significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals of the value of significant collateral.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of any such change cannot be estimated.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company as applied in the interim consolidated financial statements presented, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis, as applied in the Company’s annual consolidated audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for Riverview Financial Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
