The Corporation grants loans to individuals as well as commercial and tax-exempt entities. Commercial, residential and personal loans are made to customers geographically concentrated in Northcentral Pennsylvania, the Southern tier of New York State, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southcentral Pennsylvania.

The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system. Under the risk rating system, the Corporation classifies problem or potential problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” or “Doubtful” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Loans that do not currently expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant classification as Substandard or Doubtful, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, are deemed to be Special Mention. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Risk ratings are updated any time that conditions or the situation warrants. Loans not classified are included in the “Pass” rows in the table that follows.

The Corporation has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

● Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.

● All other commercial loans include loans typically secured by business assets including inventory, equipment and receivables. Also within this category, commercial construction and land loans and some commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate.

● Residential mortgage loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage.

● Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

The following table details the amortized cost of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, and the related allowance for credit losses on loans allocated to these loans:

Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Corporation closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Corporation had no modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The Corporation closely monitors the performance of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficultly to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table depicts the performance of two loans which were in non-accrual status at June 30, 2024 that were modified in the past twelve months:

(In Thousands)	Payment Status (Amortized Costs Basis)
June 30, 2024	Current		90+ Days Past Due		Total
Commercial real estate - non-owner occupied:
Non-owner occupied	$	2,504	$	1,381	$	3,885

The loan that was past due more than 90 days in the table above was in default with its modified terms at June 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Corporation had no commitments to lend any additional funds on modified loans. Except as described above, at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Corporation had no loans that defaulted during the period and had been modified preceding the payment default when the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification.

The carrying amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties held as a result of obtaining physical possession (included in foreclosed assets held for sale in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets) is as follows:

(In Thousands)	June 30,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Foreclosed residential real estate	$	25	$	47

The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process is as follows:

(In Thousands)	June 30,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Residential real estate in process of foreclosure	$	690	$	1,227

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract amounts of these financial instruments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

	June 30,		Dec. 31,
(In Thousands)	2024		2023
Commitments to extend credit	$	387,563	$	395,997
Standby letters of credit		57,532		19,158

The Corporation maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, commercial letters of credit and credit enhancement obligations related to residential mortgage loans sold with recourse, when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e. commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures of $683,000 at June 30, 2024 and $690,000 at December 31, 2023, is included in accrued interest and other liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months		Three Months		Six Months		Six Months
	Ended		Ended		Ended		Ended
