We are pleased to provide you with a summary of your company’s financial performance for the period ended September 30, 2018.

Net income was $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 2018 compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $59 thousand, or 2.5%.These results reflected an increase in the Company’s net interest income of $199 thousand, or 2.9%, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $402 thousand, or 47.0%. These positive changes were partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $54 thousand, or 2.2%, and an increase in noninterest expenses of $606 thousand, or 10.2%.

Year-to-date earnings for 2018 were $7.5million, or $1.68 per share, compared to $6.5 million, or $1.46 per share, for the same period in 2017, an increase of 15.0% year over year. Net interest income improved $1.4 million, or 7.4%, and the provision for income taxes decreased $927 thousand, or 39.6%. These positive changes were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $1.2 million, or 7.0%, and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $150 thousand.

Total assets increased $74.3 million, or 10.5% to reach $779.7 million as of September 30, 2018 from $705.3 million as of September 30, 2017. Total loans increased $59.3 million, or 10.1% to $644.6 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $585.3 million as of September 30, 2017. Total deposits reached $667.7 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $606.6 million a year ago, or growth of 61.1 million, or 10.1%. Borrowed funds were $42.0 million as of September 30, 2018, an increase of $9.5 million compared to September 30, 2017. The Company had total capital of $60.8 million with a book value per share of $13.61 as of September 30, 2018 compared to $59.6 million and $13.36 per share as of September 30, 2017.
We have previously informed you of our plan to terminate the bank’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan in 2018. In preparation for the termination Plan participants have been notified, offered financial counseling, and solicited for their instructions on how they wish to have their funds distributed. Actuarial calculations have been finalized, pension plan assets converted to cash, and annuity providers selected. By the time you read this letter, the pension plans assets will have been distributed to our annuity provider in the case of participants on payout, and distributed to the investment vehicle chosen by participants not on payout.

There are non-recurring impacts on our financial statements related to the pension termination. First, we made an $850 thousand cash contributions to the plan during 2018. Second, during 2018 we will have recorded a total of $3.7 million in net pension termination related expenses. Finally, we will see an increase in total capital on our balance sheet as the component of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the pension plan will be removed. With the pension completely terminated, there will be no cash contributions to the plan, no related pension expenses, and no further liabilities associated with the Defined Benefit Pension plan going forward.

On October 17, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share payable November 8, 2018 to shareholders of record as of October 29, 2018. Please find your dividend check or advice of remittance enclosed. Please contact Kristy Adams Alfieri at 802-888-0982 to receive your dividend using direct deposit.

Sincerely,
