LAKE SUNAPEE BANK GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

Nature of Operations

Lake Sunapee Bank Group (the “Company”), a Delaware company organized on July 5, 1989, is the parent company of Lake Sunapee Bank, fsb (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank organized in 1868. The Bank has four wholly owned subsidiaries: Lake Sunapee Financial Services Corporation (“LSFS”); Lake Sunapee Group, Inc., which owns and maintains all buildings and investment properties; McCrillis & Eldredge Insurance, Inc. (“M&E”), a full-line independent insurance agency, which offers a complete range of commercial insurance services and consumer products; and Charter Holding Corp. (“Charter Holding”), which through its subsidiaries, provides trust and wealth management services. The Company’s operations are managed along three reportable segments that represent its core businesses: Banking, Wealth Management and the Holding Company. The Banking segment provides a wide array of lending and depository-related products and services to individuals, businesses and municipal enterprises. The Banking segment also provides commercial insurance and consumer products, including life, health, auto and homeowner insurance, through M&E and brokerage services through LSFS. The Wealth Management segment provides trust and investment services through Charter Holding and its subsidiary, Charter Trust Company (“Charter Trust”). The Company, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, currently operates 26 locations in New Hampshire in Grafton, Hillsborough, Merrimack and Sullivan counties as well as 14 locations in Vermont in Orange, Rutland and Windsor counties. The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Company is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), and the Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

Note A—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed balance sheet data at December 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, other-than-temporary impairment of securities and income taxes.

Note B—Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s subsidiaries, M&E, Lake Sunapee Group, Inc., LSFS and Charter Holding and its subsidiaries, Charter Trust and Charter New England Agency. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NHTB Capital Trust II and NHTB Capital Trust III, affiliates of the Company, were formed to sell capital securities to the public through a third-party trust pool. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation-Overall,” these affiliates have not been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective as of March 31, 2016, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The guidance requires the Company to report debt issuance costs, less amortization, net against the outstanding principal balance of the related debt. The guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis. Debt issuance costs which were reported in previous periods in other assets have been reclassified against subordinated debentures reducing the reported outstanding principal.

Note C—Impact of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014 and August 2015, respectively, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 and 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial

assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is currently reviewing ASUs 2014-09 and 2015-14 to determine if they will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this update make targeted improvements to GAAP as follows:

Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.

Eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities.

Eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.

Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

Require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

Clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of item 6 above is permitted for financial statements of fiscal years or interim periods that have not yet been issued. Early adoption of other items above is not permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring reporting entities to recognize all leases, including operating, as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, “Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products.” The objective of this ASU is to address the current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid stored-value product liability. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.” This ASU requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met, including when the economic characteristics and risk of the embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting.” This ASU eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations and related retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations.” This ASU clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations but does not change the core principles of the guidance in Topic 606. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which is not yet effective. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is currently reviewing ASUs 2014-09, 2015-14 and 2016-08 to determine if they will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies several areas of accounting for share-based compensation including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and classification of excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” This ASU is expected to reduce the cost and complexity of identifying performance obligations and licensing as well as providing additional guidance on when to recognize revenue for a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which is not yet effective. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is currently reviewing ASUs 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-08 and 2016-10 to determine if they will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note D—Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement—Overall,” the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1—Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as The NASDAQ Stock Market. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, are not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.

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

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

The Company’s equity securities are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, preferred stock with maturities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio is estimated using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. For Levels 1 and 2, the fair value measurements consider (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and (ii) observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and a bond’s terms and conditions, among other factors, respectively.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgage loans intended for sale, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood that the loan in a lock position will ultimately close. The closing ratio is derived from the Company’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment which is not observable. As such, interest rate lock commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. The Company utilizes forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. The fair values of the Company’s mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined similarly to the IRLCs using quoted prices in the market place that are observable and adjusted for inputs which are not observable, as discussed above. As such, best efforts and mandatory delivery forward sale commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired Loans. Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service. Fair values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service discounted by management based on historical losses for similar collateral.

Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is reported at fair value less costs to sell. Values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service. For Level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. Assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

There were no loans with a specific reserve measured for impairment using the fair value of the underlying collateral at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Collateral dependent loans are valued using third-party appraisals primarily using the sales comparison approach. The appraisals may be discounted between 25-40% to reflect realizable value based on historical losses, which represents an unobservable input. Impaired loans measured for impairment using the net present value of cash flows had a recorded investment of $1.8 million with a valuation allowance of $229 thousand at March 31, 2016. Loans valued using the net present value of cash flows are calculated using expected future cash flows with a discount rate equal to the effective yield of the loan. At December 31, 2015, impaired loans measured using the net present value of cash flows had a recorded investment of $6.3 million with a valuation allowance of $386 thousand.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of which are held or issued for purposes other than trading, were as follows:

The investments in the Company’s investment portfolio that were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2016 consisted of U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, other bonds and debentures and equity securities. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and current market inefficiencies. The Company has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, and therefore, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary. The unrealized losses on equity securities have occurred for less than 12 months and the Company does not believe the losses relate to credit quality of the issuers. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of cost basis.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans as follows:

•

Loans rated 10-37: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

•

Loans rated 40: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

•

Loans rated 50: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

•

Loans rated 60: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

•

Loans rated 70: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible or a loss, and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial and municipal loans over $250 thousand. The assessment of those loans less than $250 thousand is based on the borrower’s ability to pay and not on overall risk. Additionally, the Company monitors the repayment activity for such loans less than $250 thousand and if a loan becomes delinquent over 60 days past due, it is reviewed for risk and is subsequently risk rated based on available information such as ability to repay based on current cash flow conditions and workout discussions with the borrower. For residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans, the Company initially assesses credit quality based upon the borrower’s ability to pay and subsequently monitors these loans based on the borrower’s payment capacity.

Loan Servicing

The Company recognizes as separate assets from their related loans the rights to service mortgage loans for others, either through acquisition of those rights or from the sale or securitization of loans with the servicing rights retained on those loans, based on their relative fair values. To determine the fair value of the servicing rights created, the Company uses the market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts, when available, or alternatively uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows to determine the fair value of the servicing rights. In using this valuation method, the Company incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which includes estimates of the cost of servicing loans, the discount rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates.

Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Refinance activities are considered in estimating the periodic impairment of net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value.

The balance of capitalized servicing rights, net of valuation allowances, included in other assets at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015 were $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The fair value of capitalized servicing rights was $3.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and $4.0 million as of December 31, 2015. Servicing rights of $108 thousand were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $163 thousand for the same period in 2015. Amortization of capitalized servicing rights was $247 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $357 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Note H—Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are securities sold on a short-term basis by the Company that have been accounted for not as sales but as borrowings. The securities consisted of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. The securities were held in the Company’s safekeeping account at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston under the control of the Company and pledged to the purchasers of the securities. The purchasers have agreed to sell to the Company substantially identical securities at the maturity of the agreements.

The following table represents the Company’s short-term collateralized financing obtained through repurchase agreements and the related collateral pledged as of the periods indicated:

Note I—Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the stockholders on May 8, 2014, had 410,000 shares remaining available for issuance at March 31, 2016. The Company accounts for the plan under ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Overall.” During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, stock-based compensation expense of $86 thousand and $39 thousand, respectively, was recognized under the Company’s equity plan. As of March 31, 2016, there were no options and 93,050 restricted stock non-vested awards outstanding under the 2004 Plan. There are currently no outstanding options under the 2014 Plan.

The Company granted a total of 16,500 shares of restricted stock awards to directors of the Company effective May 1, 2014. The restricted stock was granted under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and awarded the directors shares of restricted common stock of the Company. Of the shares granted, 1,500 shares vested immediately on May 1, 2014 with the remaining 15,000 shares vesting ratably over a five-year period beginning on May 1, 2015.

The Company granted a total of 64,250 shares of restricted stock awards to officers of the Company effective June 11, 2015. The restricted stock was granted under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan and awarded the officers shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The shares vest ratably over a five-year period beginning on June 11, 2016.

Note K—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company’s mortgage banking activities include IRLCs and forward sales commitments that result in derivative instruments. IRLCs are provided on applications for residential mortgages intended for resale and are accounted for as non-hedging derivatives. The Company arranges offsetting forward sales commitments for these rate-locks, which are designated as economic hedges.

The IRLCs generally terminate once the loan is funded, the lock period expires or the borrower decides not to contract for the loan. The forward commitments generally terminate once the loan is sold, the commitment period expires or the borrower decides not to contract for the loan.

The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as of the periods indicated:

Note L—Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10. Under the guidance, unvested restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Basic EPS has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 assumes, as of the beginning of the period, exercise of stock awards using the treasury stock method. Certain of our stock awards that would potentially dilute Basic EPS in the future were antidilutive for the three and three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and are discussed below.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of Basic and Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Note N—Operating Segments

The Company has three reportable operating segments: Banking, which includes the activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries, excluding Charter Holding, Wealth Management, which includes the activities of Charter Holding and its subsidiaries and the holding company and the Company, which operates as the parent holding company of the Bank and its subsidiaries and all financial activity between them is eliminated.

The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of the Company. Income tax expense for the individual segments is calculated based on the activity of the segments.

A summary of the Company’s operating segments is as follows:

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2016. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”).

Operating Segments

Our operations are managed along two reportable segments that represent our core businesses: Banking and Wealth Management. The Banking segment provides a wide array of lending and depository-related products and services to individuals, businesses and municipal enterprises. The Banking segment also provides commercial insurance and consumer products, including life, health, auto and homeowner insurance, through M&E and brokerage services through LSFS. The Wealth Management segment provides trust and investment services through Charter Holding and Charter Trust. A summary of the financial results for each of our segments is included in Note N – Operating Segments in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements located elsewhere within this report.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015

Assets. Total assets were $1.6 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $45.4 million, or 2.99%.

Securities Portfolio. Securities available-for-sale increased $50.1 million, or 41.67%, to $170.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $120.2 million at December 31, 2015 as a result of $50.2 million in securities purchased during the period. Net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale were $1.3 million at March 31, 2016 compared to net unrealized losses of $1.3 million at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold no securities and $362 thousand of municipal bonds were called. During the same period, we purchased securities totaling $50.2 million, including mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. Our net unrealized gain (after tax) on our investment portfolio was $791 thousand at March 31, 2016 compared to an unrealized loss (after tax) of $810 thousand at December 31, 2015. The investments in our investment portfolio that were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2016 consisted of U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, other bonds and equity securities. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates. We have the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, and therefore, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary. The unrealized losses on equity securities have occurred for less than 12 months and we do not believe the losses relate to credit quality of the issuers. We have the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of cost basis.

Loans. Net loans held in portfolio decreased $5.3 million, or 0.43%, to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2016 from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease of loans held in portfolio was primarily due to decreases in construction loans of $13.4 million, commercial and municipal loans of $4.7 million and consumer loans of $458 thousand, offset in part by an increase in conventional and home equity loans of $2.1 million and commercial real estate loans of $11.0 million. As a percentage of total loans, impaired loans decreased to 0.86% at March 31, 2016 from 1.06% at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we originated $60.3 million in loans, an increase of 0.33%, compared to $60.1 million during the same period in 2015. At March 31, 2016, our mortgage servicing loan portfolio was $446.1 million, compared to $445.9 million at December 31, 2015. We expect to continue to sell long-term fixed-rate loans with terms of more than 15 years into the secondary market in order to manage interest rate risk. Market risk exposure during the production cycle is managed through the use of secondary market forward commitments. At March 31, 2016, adjustable-rate mortgages comprised approximately 61.59% of our real estate mortgage loan portfolio, which represents a slightly higher percentage compared to the mix at December 31, 2015 of 60.67%.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are charged to income through the provision for loan losses. We test the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly by preparing an analysis applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type. This analysis stratifies the loan portfolio by loan type and assigns a loss factor to each type based on an assessment of the risk associated with each type. In determining the loss factors, we consider historical losses and market conditions. Loss factors may be adjusted for qualitative factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses incorporates the results of measuring impairment for specifically identified non-homogeneous problem loans in accordance with ASC 310-10-35, “Receivables-Overall-Subsequent Measurement.” In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, the specific allowance reduces the carrying amount of the impaired loans to their estimated fair value. A loan is recognized as impaired when it is probable that principal and/or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Measurement of impairment can be based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Measurement of impairment does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage, home equity or installment loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Our commercial loan officers review the financial condition of commercial loan customers on a regular basis and perform visual inspections of facilities and inventories. We also have loan review, internal audit and compliance programs with results reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016 was $8.7 million compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represents 0.71% of total loans held at March 31, 2016 compared to 0.73% at December 31, 2015. Total impaired loans at March 31, 2016 were $10.5 million, representing 120.40% of the allowance for loan losses. Modestly improving economic and market conditions and actual charge-off experience within the portfolio during the period resulted in us making $111 thousand in provisions to the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $205 thousand in provisions made for the same period in 2015. Loan charge-offs were $426 thousand during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $448 thousand for the same period in 2015. Recoveries were $105 thousand during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $62 thousand for the same period in 2015. This activity resulted in net charge-offs of $321 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $386 thousand for the same period in 2015. One-to-four family residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, commercial and municipal and consumer loans accounted for 17%, 57%, 5% and 21%, respectively, of the amounts charged-off during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

The effects of national economic issues that continue to be felt in our local communities and the national economic outlook as well as portfolio performance and charge-offs influenced our decision to maintain our allowance for loan losses at $8.7 million. The risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio was affected by a decrease in the originated loan portfolio, a reduction in impaired loans and modestly improving economic conditions. Management may make additional provisions during the remainder of 2016 to maintain the allowance at an adequate level.

Included in the allowance for loan losses is an allowance for losses from the fee for service overdraft program. Our policy is to maintain an allowance equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of negative balance accounts that have remained negative for 30 days or more. Negative balance accounts are charged-off when the balance has remained negative for 60 consecutive days. At March 31, 2016, the overdraft allowance was $10 thousand, compared to $16 thousand at December 31, 2015. There were provisions of $11 thousand for overdraft losses recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $5 thousand for the same period during 2015. Ongoing provisions are anticipated as overdraft charge-offs continue and we adhere to our policy to maintain an allowance for overdraft losses equal to 100% of the aggregate negative balance of accounts remaining negative for 30 days or more.

Losses have occurred in the liquidation process and our loss experience suggests it is prudent for us to continue funding provisions to build the allowance for loan losses. While, for the most part, quantifiable loss amounts have not been identified with individual credits, we anticipate more charge-offs as loan issues are resolved. The impaired loans meet the criteria established under ASC 310-10-35. Six loans considered to be impaired loans at March 31, 2016 have specific allowances identified and assigned. The six loans are secured by real estate, business assets or a combination of both. At March 31, 2016, the allowance included $229 thousand allocated to impaired loans compared to $386 thousand at December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, we had 56 loans totaling $8.3 million considered to be TDRs as defined in ASC 310-40, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” included in impaired loans. At March 31, 2016, 43 of the TDRs were performing under contractual terms. Of the loans classified as TDRs, 13 were non-performing at March 31, 2016. The total balance of these past due loans was $1.7 million. At December 31, 2015, we had 56 loans totaling $8.4 million considered to be TDRs.

Loans over 90 days past due were $2.8 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2015. Loans 30 to 89 days past due totaled $6.6 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2015. As a percentage of assets, the recorded investment in non-performing loans decreased from 0.40% at December 31, 2015 to 0.35% at March 31, 2016 and, as a percentage of total loans, decreased from 0.49% at December 31, 2015 to 0.45% at March 31, 2016.

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention do not reflect trends or uncertainties that we reasonably expect will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. For the period ended March 31, 2016, all loans about which management possesses information regarding possible borrower credit problems and doubts as to borrowers’ ability to comply with present loan repayment terms or to repay a loan through liquidation of collateral are included in the tables below or discussed herein.

At March 31, 2016, there were no other loans excluded from the tables below or not discussed above where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

The following table shows the breakdown of the amount of non-performing assets and non-performing assets as a percentage of the total allowance and total assets as of the dates indicated:


	March 31, 2016								December 31, 2015
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Percentage of Total Allowance			Percentage of Total Assets			Amount		Percentage of Total Allowance			Percentage of Total Assets
Non-accrual loans	$	5,488		63.12	%		0.35	%	$	6,026		67.67	%		0.40	%
Other real estate owned and chattel		799		9.19	%		0.05	%		904		10.15	%		0.06	%

Total non-performing assets	$	6,287		72.31	%		0.40	%	$	6,930		77.82	%		0.46	%

The following table sets forth the recorded investment in nonaccrual loans by category as of the dates indicated:


(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Real estate:
Conventional	$	2,311	$	3,017
Home equity		131		183
Commercial		2,940		2,242
Commercial and municipal		106		584

Total	$	5,488	$	6,026

We believe the allowance for loan losses is at a level sufficient to cover inherent losses, given the current level of risk in the loan portfolio. At the same time, we recognize that the determination of future loss potential is intrinsically uncertain. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to increases in the loan portfolio, or if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment and result in increased levels of non-performing loans and substantial differences between estimated and actual losses. Adjustments to the allowance are charged to income through the provision for loan losses.

Goodwill. Goodwill was $44.6 million, or 2.85% of total assets, as of March 31, 2016, compared to $44.6 million, or 2.94% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015.

Other Intangible Assets. Other intangible assets were $7.5 million, or 0.48% of total assets, as of March 31, 2016, compared to $7.8 million, or 0.52% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was due to normal amortization of core deposit intangible and customer list assets.

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO was $799 thousand, representing three residential properties and one commercial property, at March 31, 2016, compared to $904 thousand, representing three residential properties and two commercial properties at December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, one property was sold while no additional properties were added.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $15.9 million, or 1.37%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2016 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $43.0 million in savings and money market accounts, partially offset by increases of $13.2 million in time deposits and $9.4 million in checking accounts.

Borrowings. We had outstanding balances of $203.4 million in advances from the FHLB at March 31, 2016, representing an increase of $53.4 million in outstanding balances compared to December 31, 2015. In addition to advances, we had 10 letters of credit totaling $42.8 million with the FHLB to secure customer deposits under pledge agreements. These letters of credit are factored against borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $2.3 million, or 12.82%, to $20.3 million at March 31, 2016 from $18.0 million at December 31, 2015.

Comparison of the Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 (unaudited)

Overview. Consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $2.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2015, an increase of $166 thousand, or 7.21%. Our net interest margin remained consistent at 2.99% at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Our return on average assets and average common stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were 0.64% and 7.12%, respectively, compared to 0.62% and 7.02%, respectively, for the same period in 2015.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $330 thousand, or 3.22%, to $10.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $10.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, due to the additional income of $392 thousand related to $50.2 million of securities purchased in the first quarter of 2016 and a decrease in interest on deposits of $134 thousand, or 12.57%, offset in part by increase in interest on advances and other borrowed money of $144 thousand, or 51.25%.

Interest and Dividend Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total interest and dividend income increased $366 thousand, or 3.04%, to $12.4 million, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2015. Interest and fees on loans decreased $64 thousand, or 0.55%, to $11.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to $11.6 million for the same period in 2015. Interest and dividends on investments and other interest increased $430 thousand, or 92.27%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Interest Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total interest expense increased $36 thousand, or 1.97%, to $1.9 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2015. Interest on deposits decreased $134 thousand, or 12.57%, to $932 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due in part to the migration from time deposits to lower cost deposit products. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, interest on advances and other borrowed money increased $144 thousand, or 51.25%, to $425 thousand from $281 thousand for the same period in 2015 due in part to the increase in FHLB advances of $53.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following table sets forth the dollar volume of increase (decrease) in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and from changes in rates for the three month periods indicated. Volume changes are computed by multiplying the volume difference by the prior period’s rate. Rate changes are computed by multiplying the rate difference by the prior period’s balance. The change in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume has been allocated proportionally between the volume and rate variances (in thousands).

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $111 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $205 thousand of provisions during the same period in 2015. The amount of the provision is consistent with activity in the portfolio during the related periods and allowance adequacy models. We recorded $11 thousand in provisions for overdraft losses in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $5 thousand in provisions during the same period in 2015. For additional information on provisions and adequacy, please refer to the Allowance for Loan Losses section herein.

Noninterest Income and Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total noninterest income decreased $175 thousand, or 3.68%, to $4.6 million, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2015.

Customer service fees increased $42 thousand, or 3.06%, to $1.4 million from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase includes an increase of $29 thousand in fees related to ATM interchange income.

Gain on sales of securities decreased $373 thousand, or 100.00%, from $373 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease is due to the decreased volume of sales of securities with no securities sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $35.6 million for the same period in 2015.

Mortgage banking activities decreased $16 thousand, or 12.50%, to $112 thousand from $128 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change represents a decrease of $70 thousand in gains on sales of loans and a decrease of $55 thousand for capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which were partially offset by a decrease of $110 thousand for the amortization of mortgage servicing rights. These changes reflect changes in pipelines, market rates and shifts in consumer demand for long-term fixed rate products.

Net gains and losses on other real estate and property owned decreased $12 thousand, or 400.00%, to a net loss of $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from a net loss of $3 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Trust and investment management fee income increased $9 thousand, or 0.44%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2015.

Insurance and brokerage service income increased $14 thousand, or 2.68% to $537 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $523 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Bank owned life insurance income increased $73 thousand, or 50.00% to $219 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $146 thousand for the same period in 2015, primarily related to the addition of $10 million of bank owned life insurance purchased during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Other income increased $89 thousand to $92 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $3 thousand for the same period in 2015. The increase is primarily related to a distribution of $86 thousand from a limited partnership.

Total noninterest expenses increased $129 thousand, or 1.13%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2015, as discussed below.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $186 thousand, or 3.08%, to $6.2 million from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Gross salaries and benefits paid, which excludes the deferral of expenses associated with the origination of loans, increased $197 thousand, or 3.07%, to $6.6 million from $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Salary expense increased $321 thousand, or 6.8%, to $5.0 million from $4.7 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting ordinary cost-of-living adjustments, staffing increases and promotional increases. The deferral of expenses in conjunction with the origination of loans increased $11 thousand, or 2.86%, to $396 thousand from $385 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Occupancy expenses decreased $179 thousand, or 10.65%, to $1.5 million from $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease relates primarily to $72 thousand and $40 thousand decreases in snow removal and fuel expenses, respectively, due to mild weather during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Advertising and promotion decreased $27 thousand, or 15.98%, to $142 thousand from $169 thousand for the same period in 2015. Outside services increased $41 thousand, or 6.93%, to $633 thousand from $592 thousand for the same period in 2015. Professional services increased $13 thousand, or 4.61%, to $295 thousand from $282 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Supplies expense increased $38 thousand, or 34.55%, to $148 thousand from $110 thousand for the same period in 2015. Telephone expense increased $2 thousand, or 0.74%, to $271 thousand from $269 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased $44 thousand, or 11.28%, to $346 thousand from $390 million for the same period in 2015 as our intangible assets are on the sum-of-the-years-digits declining amortization method, resulting in a reduction to year-over-year amortization.

Other expenses increased $99 thousand, or 6.79%, to $1.6 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 2015. This increase includes increases of $26 thousand in insurance premium expense, $81 thousand of MSR impairment expense and $47 thousand in expenses related to stock awards, partially offset by decreases of $110 thousand related to shareholder expenses.

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments described in the section in our Annual Report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loan purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. At March 31, 2016, our liquidity was sufficient to cover our anticipated needs for funding new loan commitments of approximately $90.0 million. Our source of funds is derived primarily from net deposit inflows, loan amortizations, principal pay downs from loans, sold loan proceeds, and advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2016, we had approximately $236.3 million in additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB.

At March 31, 2016, stockholders’ equity totaled $139.7 million, compared to $136.7 million at December 31, 2015. This increase reflects net income of $2.5 million, the declaration of $1.2 million in common stock dividends, contributions and reinvestments in the dividend reinvestment program of $64 thousand and $1.6 million in other comprehensive income.

At March 31, 2016, we had unrestricted funds available in the amount of $3.3 million. As of March 31, 2016, our total cash needs for the remainder of 2015 are estimated to be approximately $5.6 million with $3.5 million projected to be used to pay cash dividends on our common stock, $861 thousand to pay interest on our subordinated debt, $468 thousand to pay interest on our capital securities and approximately $750 thousand for ordinary operating expenses. The Bank pays dividends to the Company as its sole stockholder, within guidelines set forth by the OCC and the FRB. Since the Bank is well-capitalized and has capital in excess of regulatory requirements, it is anticipated that funds will be available to cover the additional Company cash requirements for 2016, as needed, as long as earnings at the Bank are sufficient to maintain adequate Tier I Capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.6 million to $3.0 million, compared to cash provided of $4.6 million for the same period in 2015. Cash provided by loans sold decreased $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Net gain on sales of loans decreased $70 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Net gain on sales of securities decreased $373 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, as a result of no securities sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to approximately $35.6 million of securities sold during the same period in 2015. The provision for loan losses decreased $94 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The change in accrued interest receivable and other assets increased $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $1.9 million, compared to the same period in 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities was $45.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to cash provided of $13.2 million for the same period in 2015, a change of $58.7 million. The cash used by net securities activities was $47.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to cash provided by net securities activities of $239 thousand for the same period in 2015. The cash used for purchases of securities decreased by $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, and cash provided by maturities of securities decreased $43.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Cash provided by loan originations and principal collections, net, was $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $8.4 million, compared to cash provided of $13.4 million for the same period in 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $38.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $61.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we experienced a net increase of $8.5 million in cash used by deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase comparing cash used of $13.6 million in 2016 to cash used of $22.0 million for the same period in 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had an increase of $53.4 million of cash provided by FHLB advances and other borrowings, comparing $53.4 million provided for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to net cash provided of zero for the same period in 2015.

U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund Program

On August 25, 2011, as part of the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Treasury 20,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. We used $10.0 million of the SBLF proceeds to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock previously issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. With the acquisition of The Nashua Bank in 2012, we assumed $3.0 million of preferred stock issued to the Treasury. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the subordinated notes (as discussed below) to redeem a portion of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. At each of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding to the Treasury.

Subordinated Notes

On October 29, 2014, we entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of $17.0 million of subordinated notes to the accredited investors. The notes have a maturity date of November 1, 2024 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. We may, at our option, beginning with the interest payment date of November 1, 2019, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all of the noteholders. The notes are not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholders. The notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior in right of payment to our senior indebtedness and to our obligations to our general creditors. Total expenses associated with the offering of $621 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the subordinated notes and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the subordinated note.

The notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to redeem a portion of our Series B Preferred Stock and we plan to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.

Capital Ratios

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the federal banking agencies that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with a phase-in period of two to four years for certain components), the Company and the Bank became subject to new capital regulations adopted by the FRB and the OCC, which implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The new regulations require a new common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5%, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6.0% from 4.0%, require a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. CET1 generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable adjustments and deductions. Under new prompt corrective action regulations, in order to be considered “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5% (new) and a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged). In addition, the regulations establish a capital conservation buffer above the required capital ratios that phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each year by 0.625% until it is fully phased in at 2.5% effective January 1, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2016, failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers and similar employees.

The new regulations implemented changes to what constitutes regulatory capital. Certain instruments will no longer constitute qualifying capital, subject to phase-out periods. In addition, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital. Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries over designated percentages of CET1 will be deducted from capital. The Company and the Bank have elected to permanently opt out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital ratios.

The new regulations also changed the risk weights of certain assets, including an increase in the risk weight of certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or on non-accrual status to 150% from 100%, a credit conversion factor for the unused portion of commitments with maturities of less than one year that are not cancellable to 20% from 0%, an increase in the risk weight for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital to 250% from 100%, and an increase in the risk weight for equity exposures to 600% from 100%.

As of March 31, 2016 (unaudited), the Company and the Bank met each of their capital requirements and the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as “well-capitalized.” There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below as of March 31, 2016.

Tangible Book Value

Book value per common share was $16.66 at March 31, 2016, compared to $16.32 per common share at December 31, 2015. Tangible book value per common share was $11.14 at March 31, 2016, compared to $10.76 per common share at December 31, 2015. Tangible book value per common share is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure calculated using U.S. GAAP amounts. Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the total number of common shares outstanding at a point in time. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill, other intangible assets and preferred stock from the calculation of stockholders’ equity. We believe that tangible book value per common share provides information to investors that may be useful in understanding our financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies.

A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is provided below:

Capital Securities

On March 30, 2004, NHTB Capital Trust II (“Trust II”), a Connecticut statutory trust formed by the Company, completed the sale of $10.0 million of Floating Capital Securities, adjustable every three months at LIBOR plus 2.79% (“Capital Securities II”). Trust II also issued common securities to us and used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of our Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Debentures II”). Debentures II are the sole assets of Trust II. Total expenses associated with the offering of $160 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the debentures and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of Debentures II.

Capital Securities II accrue and pay distributions quarterly based on the stated liquidation amount of $10 per floating capital security. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of Trust II. The guaranty covers the quarterly distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of Capital Securities II, but only to the extent that Trust II has funds necessary to make these payments.

Capital Securities II are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturing of Debentures II on March 30, 2034 or upon earlier redemption as provided in the Indenture. We have the right to redeem Debentures II, in whole or in part, at the liquidation amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

On March 30, 2004, NHTB Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), a Connecticut statutory trust formed by the Company, completed the sale of $10.0 million of 6.06% 5 Year Fixed-Floating Capital Securities (“Capital Securities III”). Trust III also issued common securities to us and used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of our 6.06% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Debentures III”). Debentures III are the sole assets of Trust III. Total expenses associated with the offering of $160 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the debentures and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of Debentures III.

Capital Securities III accrue and pay distributions quarterly at an annual rate of 6.06% for the first five years of the stated liquidation amount of $10 per fixed-floating capital security. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of Trust III. The guaranty covers the quarterly distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of Capital Securities III, but only to the extent that Trust III has funds necessary to make these payments.

Capital Securities III are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturing of Debentures III on March 30, 2034 or upon earlier redemption as provided in the Indenture. We have the right to redeem Debentures III, in whole or in part, at the liquidation amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Stock Repurchase Plan

The Board of Directors determined that a share buyback is appropriate to enhance stockholder value because such repurchases generally increase earnings per common share, return on average assets and on average equity; three performance benchmarks against which bank and thrift holding companies are measured. On June 12, 2007, the Board of Directors reactivated a previously adopted but incomplete stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 253,776 shares of common stock. We buy stock in the open market whenever the price of the stock is deemed reasonable and we have funds available for the purchase. At March 31, 2016, there were 148,088 shares available to be repurchased under the repurchase plan previously approved by the Board of Directors. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Asset-Liability Management

Market risk and interest rate risk management is governed by the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The ALCO establishes exposure limits that define our tolerance for interest rate risk. The ALCO manages the composition of the balance sheet over a range of potential fluctuations in interest rates while responding, as appropriate, to market demand for loan and deposit products. Current exposures versus limits are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly. The policy limits and guidelines serve as benchmarks for measuring interest rate risk and for providing a framework for evaluation and interest rate risk management decision-making.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of our assets, liabilities and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that our net income will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes.

Interest Rate Risk

The principal market risk facing us is interest rate risk, which may include repricing risk, yield-curve risk, basis risk and prepayment risk. Repricing risk exists when the change in the average yield of either interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities is more sensitive than the other to changes in market interest rates. A change in sensitivity could reflect an imbalance in the repricing opportunities of our assets and liabilities. Yield curve risk reflects the possibility that the changes in the shape of the yield curve could have different effects on our assets and liabilities. Basis risk exists when different parts of the balance sheet are subject to varying base rates reflecting the possibility that the spread from those base rates will deviate. Prepayment risk is associated with financial instruments with an option to prepay before the stated maturity often at a time of disadvantage to the person selling the option; this risk is most often associated with the prepayment of loans, callable investments and callable borrowings.

Interest rate risk can be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities is mismatched to create an interest rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, therefore, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

Income simulation is the primary tool for measuring the interest rate risk inherent in our balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income, over a 12-month period, of a variety of interest rate shocks. These simulations take into account repricing, maturity and prepayment characteristics of individual products. The ALCO reviews simulation results to determine whether the exposure resulting from changes in market interest rates remains within established tolerance levels over a 12-month horizon, and develops appropriate strategies to manage this exposure.

Our one-year cumulative interest rate gap at March 31, 2016 was negative 2.16%, compared to the December 31, 2015 gap of positive 1.56%. With a liability sensitive negative gap, if rates were to rise, net interest margin would likely decrease and if rates were to fall, the net interest margin would likely increase. Over the next 12 months, $30.4 million more liabilities are subject to repricing than assets.

As another part of interest rate risk analysis, we use an interest rate sensitivity model, which generates estimates of the change in our economic value of equity (“EVE”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The EVE ratio, under any rate scenario, is defined as the EVE in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to the changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remain constant over the period being measured and that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve. Accordingly, although the EVE measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on our net interest income and will likely differ from actual results.

The following table sets forth our EVE at March 31, 2016, as calculated by an independent third party agent:


(Dollars in thousands)	Book Value		-100 bp			0 bp			+100 bp			+200 bp			+300 bp			+400 bp
EVE:

Management controls the Company’s interest rate exposure using several strategies, which include adjusting the maturities of securities in the Company’s investment portfolio, limiting or expanding the terms of loans originated, monitoring and limiting, as appropriate, long-term fixed rate deposits, and laddering maturities of FHLB advances. The Company limits this risk by monitoring and limiting, as appropriate, securities it invests in to those with limited average life changes under certain interest rate shock scenarios, or securities with embedded prepayment penalties. The Company also may use derivative instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its interest rate risk. Information on derivative instruments is included in Note K – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements located elsewhere within this report.
