SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following data should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis that follows:

(a) Some of the financial measures included in this table are not measures of

financial performance recognized by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting

Principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible book

value, return on average tangible equity, net interest margin

(tax-equivalent), and the efficiency ratio. Management uses these non-GAAP

financial measures in its analysis of its performance, and believes financial

analysts and investors frequently use these measures, and other similar

measures, to evaluate capital adequacy. Reconciliations of non-GAAP

disclosures used in this table to the comparable GAAP measures are provided

in the accompanying table. Management, as well as regulators, financial

analysts and other investors may use these measures in conjunction with more

traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking

organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible

assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method

of accounting for mergers and acquisitions.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as

a substitute for total shareholders' equity, total assets, book value per

share, return on average assets, return on average equity, or any other

measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we

calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other


    companies reporting measures with similar names.

Economic Environment



The U.S. economy continued its recovery during the first quarter of 2022 despite
pressures from higher inflation and rising energy prices as well as concerns
over the Russia-Ukraine war and the continued economic uncertainty caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand
imbalances related to the pandemic and higher energy prices as well as other
broader price pressures, and exceeded an annual rate of 8.0% in the first
quarter of 2022, well above the FRB's target inflation rate. In addition, the
Russia-Ukraine war and related events are likely to create additional upward
pressure on inflation and weigh on economic activity. As previously discussed,
the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruption to business and economic
activity. While the Omicron variant took COVID-19 infection rates to a new high
in January 2022, COVID-19 cases declined by the end of the first quarter.
However, the duration of the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants,
and the ultimate repercussions continue to remain unclear. U.S. Gross Domestic
Product ("GDP") is declined slightly in the first quarter of 2022, however the
total unemployment rate fell to 3.6 percent at March 2022 as compared with 3.9
percent at December 2021. In March 2022, the FRB increased short-term interest
rates by 25 basis points and indicated that ongoing increases in short-term
interest rates will occur in 2022 in order to fight inflation.



A lthough the U.S. economy continued to grow during the first quarter of 2022,
the impacts of higher inflation, rising energy prices and the Russia-Ukraine
war, in addition to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic
conditions both in the United States and abroad, have created significant
uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve
and impact our business in future periods. Concerns over interest rate levels,
energy prices, domestic, and global policy issues, trade policy in the U.S. and
geopolitical events, as well as the implications of those events on the markets
in general, further add to the global uncertainty. Interest rate levels and
energy prices, in combination with global economic conditions, fiscal and
monetary policy and the level of regulatory and government scrutiny of financial
institutions will continue to impact our results in 2022 and beyond.



Our credit administration continues to closely monitor and analyze the higher
risk segments within the loan portfolio, tracking loan payment deferrals,
customer liquidity and providing timely reports to senior management and the
board of directors. Based on the Company's capital levels, prudent underwriting
policies, loan concentration diversification and our geographic footprint,
senior management is cautiously optimistic that the Company is positioned to
continue managing the impact of the varied set of risks and uncertainties
currently impacting the global economy and remain adequately capitalized.
However, the Company may be required to make additional loan loss provisions as
warranted by the extremely fluid global economic condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview of the Income Statement





For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Corporation reported net income of
$2,520,000, or $0.77 basic earnings per share. This compares to the
first quarter of 2021 net income of $4,117,000, or $1.26 basic earnings per
share. The decrease in operating results for the first quarter of 2022 as
compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in
non-interest income of $2,660,000 (46.3%) and a decrease in net interest income
of $453,000 (5.2%).  These were offset by a decrease in non-interest expenses of
$707,000 (7.8%), a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $509,000
(58.3%), and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $300,000 (100.0%).




Net Interest Income



Net interest income is the amount by which income from interest-earning assets
exceeds interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning
assets consist principally of loans and investment securities while
interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposit accounts and
borrowed funds. Net interest income remains the primary source of revenue for
the Corporation. Changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix
and volume of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact
net interest income. Net interest income was $8,202,000 for the first quarter of
2022, compared to $8,655,000 for the same period of 2021, a decrease of
$453,000.



The decrease of $453,000 in net interest income for the three months ended March
31, 2022 is attributable to a decrease in interest income of $725,000 (7.6%)
offset by a $272,000 (32.3%) decrease in interest expense.



The $725,000 decrease in interest income for the three months ended March 31,
2022 was due to $1.3 million decrease in loan interest income offset by a
$549,000 increase in securities income.  The decrease in loan interest income
was due to a $712,000 reduction in the loan fee income generated through PPP
loans as well as a $402,000 decrease in mortgage loan origination fee income due
to reduced origination volumes.  Approximately 98% of the loan balances
generated through the PPP loan program have been forgiven as of March 31, 2022.
There are $71,000 of fees received from the SBA remaining that have been
deferred and are being amortized into interest income over the life of the
loans.



The yield on average earning assets was 3.65% for the three months ended March
31, 2022 compared to 4.22% for the same period of 2021.  This is due to the
decrease in PPP and mortgage origination fees and a shifting mix of earning
assets.  The average interest-bearing cash, securities, and loan balances were
$49.6 million, $313.3 million and $623.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2022, respectively compared to $64.7 million, $199.4 million and
$652.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
The average loan balance decreased $28.2 million between the periods.  The
average balance of PPP loans decreased approximately $86.2 million and was
offset by approximately $58.0 million in new commercial and commercial real
estate loan growth.



The decline in interest expense of $272,000 from March 31, 2021 to March 31,
2022 is due to a declining cost of funds, primarily in certificates of deposit.
The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 0.30% for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to 0.48% for the same period of 2021.  This
decrease more than offset the $63.5 million increase in average interest bearing
liabilities to $757.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2022 compared to
$694.8 million the period ended March 31, 2021.



Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income (adjusted to
reflect tax-exempt interest income on a taxable equivalent basis) by average
interest-earning assets. The resulting percentage serves as a measurement for
the Corporation in comparing its results with those of past periods as well as
those of peer institutions. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 the net
interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) was 3.42% compared with 3.85%
for the same period in 2021. Loans and leases comprised 63.7% of
interest-earning assets at March 31, 2022 compared to 68.5% of interest-earning
assets at March 31, 2021.  Interest-bearing deposits comprised 97.4% of average
interest-bearing liabilities at March 31, 2022, compared to 97.2% for the same
period in 2021.



As a result of the recognition of the majority of deferred loan fees from the
SBA for PPP loan financing, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and
related future loan charge-offs and increases in non-accrual loans which may
occur, we expect that our net interest income and net interest margin will
continue to decrease throughout the remainder of 2022.

  Table of Contents



Provision for Loan Losses



The Corporation's provision for loan losses is determined based upon
management's calculation of the allowance for loan losses and is reflective of
management's assessment of the quality of the portfolio and overall management
of the inherent credit risk of the loan portfolio. Changes in the provision for
loan losses are dependent, among other things, on loan delinquencies, collateral
position, portfolio risks and general economic conditions in the Corporation's
lending markets. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management
considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing
economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, and historical loan loss experience.
However, there is no assurance that loan credit losses will not exceed the
allowance, and any growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the
general economy may require additional provisions in future periods.



Due to a general stabilization of uncertainties related to COVID-19 in the
regional and broader U.S. economy, as well as the current status of the Bank's
loan portfolio, there was no provision for loan losses recognized during the
three month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to a $300,000 provision for
the three months ended March 31, 2021.  The allowance for loan losses at March
31, 2022 is 1.69% of total loans compared to 1.62% of total loans at March 31,
2021.



There is a possibility that the provision for loan losses could further increase
in future periods based on the significant potential for the credit quality of
our loan portfolio to decline and loan defaults to increase as a result of
economic conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Allowance for Loan
Losses" under Financial Condition for further discussion relating to the
provision for loan and lease losses.



Non-Interest Income



The Corporation's non-interest income is largely generated from activities
related to the origination, servicing and gain on sales of fixed rate mortgage
loans; customer deposit account fees; earnings on life insurance policies;
income arising from sales of investment products to customers; and occasional
security sale transactions. Income related to customer deposit accounts and life
insurance policies provides a relatively steady flow of income while the other
sources are more volume or transaction related and consequently can vary from
quarter to quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, non-interest income was $3,081,000, compared to $5,741,000 for the first quarter of 2021, a $2,660,000 (46.3%) decrease, which was attributable to decreases in gain on sales of loans of $3,999,000 (87.4%), and an increase in loss on securities of $41,000, offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $1,380,000 (118.0%).





The significant decrease in gain on sale of loans was attributable to a decrease
in loan activity by the residential mortgage operations, along with a decrease
in the net gain on sale, expressed as a percentage of loan balances sold. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2022, there were 192 loans sold totaling $55.3
million, compared to 460 loans sold totaling $117.6 million during the same
period of 2021. The net gain on sale was 0.86% for the first quarter of 2022
compared to 3.70% for the same period of 2021.

Other non-interest income was $2,550,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,170,000 for the comparable period in 2021, an increase of $1,380,000. The increase was primarily related to a $1,247,000 increase in income from the Corporation's loan hedging program.

A fair value write-down of securities resulted in a loss of $46,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a loss of $5,000 quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Non-Interest Expenses



For the quarter ended March 31, 2022 non-interest expenses were $8,399,000,
compared to $9,106,000 for the first quarter of 2021, a $707,000 (7.8%)
decrease. The significant quarter-over-quarter decreases include salaries and
benefits of $472,000 (9.1%), loan fees of $264,000 (57.4%), and miscellaneous
expense of $87,000 (90.1%). The decrease in salaries and benefits is primarily
related to a reduction in commissions paid based on loan activity by the
residential mortgage operations.



Maintaining acceptable levels of non-interest expenses and operating efficiency
are key performance indicators for the Corporation in its strategic initiatives.
The financial services industry uses the efficiency ratio (total non-interest
expense as a percentage of the aggregate of fully-tax equivalent net interest
income and non-interest income) as a key indicator of performance. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Corporation's efficiency ratio was 72.95%,
compared to 62.51% for the same period of 2021.  A lower efficiency ratio
generally indicates that a bank is spending less to generate every dollar of
income.



Provision for Income Taxes



The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was
$364,000 (effective rate of 12.6%), compared to $873,000 (effective rate of
17.5%) for the comparable 2021 period.  The decrease in the effective tax rate
was largely due to tax-exempt securities comprising 29.6% of pre-tax income for
the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 12.4% for the comparable period in
2021.

FINANCIAL CONDITION



Overview of Balance Sheet



Total assets amounted to $1.07 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $1.08
billion at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.2 million (0.67%). The decrease
in total assets was primarily the result of decreases of $9.6 million (12.8%) in
cash and cash equivalents, and $11.0 million (3.6%) in securities
available-for-sale, offset by a $4.6 million (0.1%) increase in net loans.
Deposits totaled $944.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $930.4 million at
December 31, 2021, an increase of $14.4 million (1.6%).



Shareholders' equity decreased $19.7 million (16.6%) from $119.1 million at
December 31, 2021 to $99.4 million at March 31, 2022. This was the result of an
increase in unrealized securities losses, net of tax of $21.6 million and
dividends paid of $688,000 offset by net income of $2,520,000. The increase in
unrealized securities losses from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 was
attributable to increasing long term treasury yields.  Net unrealized gains and
losses on securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive (loss)
income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.6 million at March 31, 2022 and
$75.2 million at December 31, 2021, including interest-bearing deposits in other
banks of $47.8 million at March 31, 2022 and $63.5 million at December 31,
2021.  Management believes the current level of cash and cash equivalents is
sufficient to meet the Corporation's present liquidity and performance needs
especially considering the availability of other funding sources, as described
below. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to
transactions in process and corresponding liquidity sources and uses. Management
believes the Corporation's liquidity needs in the near term will be satisfied by
the current level of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to
traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the
investment and loan portfolios that will mature within one year. These sources
of funds should enable the Corporation to meet cash obligations and off-balance
sheet commitments as they come due. In addition, the Corporation has access to
various sources of additional borrowings by virtue of long-term assets that can
be used as collateral for such borrowings.

Securities



Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the securities
portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings.
As a result, all securities, except FHLB stock, have been designated as
available-for-sale and may be sold if needed for liquidity, asset-liability
management or other reasons. Such securities are reported at fair value, with
any net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity, net of related incomes taxes.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of March
31, 2022 totaled $318.9 million and $296.6 million, respectively, resulting in
net unrealized loss before tax of $22.3 million and a corresponding after-tax
decrease in shareholders' equity of $17.6 million.

Loans and Leases





The Corporation's primary lending areas are Northwestern, West Central, and
Central Ohio. Gross loans and leases totaled $614.2 million at March 31, 2022,
compared to $609.6 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $4.6 million
(0.8%). As compared to December 31, 2021, commercial and multi-family real
estate loans increased $12.4 million, commercial loans decreased $7.4 million,
consumer loans decreased $211,000 and residential 1-4 family real estate loan
decreased 156,000.  Loans originated through the PPP program are included in the
Commercial segment and had an outstanding balance of $3.4 million as of March
31, 2022 and $6.6 million at December 31, 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP
loans forgiven, loans and leases increased $7.8 million at March 31, 2022 as
compared to December 31, 2021.

There are also unrecognized financial instruments at March 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021 which relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The
contract amount of such financial instruments approximated $203.7 million
at March 31, 2022 and $198.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Loan demand has strengthened in the first three months of 2022, however it is possible that uncertainties in economic conditions in our market areas may lead to reductions in the growth of our commercial and industrial loan, commercial real estate loan, residential real estate loan and consumer loan portfolios.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans and
leases was 1.69% at March 31, 2022, 1.70% at December 31, 2021, and 1.62% at
March 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and the related allocation of allowance, the
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases was 1.70% at
March 31, 2022, 1.72% at December 31, 2021, and 1.90% at March 31, 2021.  Based
on current economic indicators, the Corporation increased the economic factors
within the allowance for loan losses evaluation.



Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the
allowance for loan and lease losses at a level considered by management to be
adequate for losses within the portfolio. Even though management uses all
available information to assess possible loan and lease losses, future additions
or reductions to the allowance may be required as changes occur in economic
conditions and specific borrower circumstances. The regulatory agencies that
periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan and lease losses may
also require additions to the allowance or the charge-off of specific loans and
leases based upon the information available to them at the time of their
examinations.



Loans and leases on non-accrual status amounted to $346,000 at March 31, 2022
and $320,000 at December 31, 2021. Non-accrual loans and leases as a percentage
of outstanding loans amounted to 0.006% at March 31, 2022 and 0.005% at December
31, 2021.

There were $1,072,000 in commercial loan over 90 days but still accruing at March 31, 2022. These loans were originated through the PPP program and are pending a determination of forgiveness from the SBA.





The Corporation considers a loan or lease to be impaired when it becomes
probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect under the contractual
terms of the loan or lease, as the case may be, based on current information and
events. The Corporation had $1,911,000 at March 31, 2022 and $1,948,000
at December 31, 2021, all with no reserve.



In addition to impaired loans the Corporation had other potential problem
credits, consisting of loans graded substandard or special mention, as well as
loans over 90 days past due, loans on non-accrual, and TDR loans, amounting
to $23.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $24.7 million at December 31, 2021. The
Corporation's credit administration department continues to closely monitor
these credits.

As of March 31, 2022 the Corporation has 110 loans, approximating $38.3 million that were modified or extended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As indicated above, the CARES Act and guidance issued by the Federal Bank Regulatory agencies provides relief from classifying COVID-19 related loan modifications as TDR loans.





The Corporation provides pooled reserves for potential problem loans and leases
using loss rates calculated considering historic net loan charge-off experience,
as well as other environmental and qualitative factors. The Corporation
experienced no loan charge-offs during the first three months of 2022 compared
to $2,000 during the first three months of 2021. The Corporation also provides
pooled general reserves for the remaining portion of its loan portfolio not
considered to be problem or potential problem loans. These general reserves are
also calculated considering, among other things, the historic net charge-off
experience for the related loan type.

Funding Sources



The Corporation considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited
to, deposits, as well as short-term and long-term borrowings when evaluating
funding sources. Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered certificates of
deposit, and public funds deposits continue to be the most significant source of
funds for the Corporation, totaling $944.8 million, or 97.4% of the
Corporation's outstanding funding sources at March 31, 2022, compared to
$930.4 million at December 31, 2021.

Non-interest bearing deposits comprised 21.1% of total deposits at March 31, 2022 and 21.0% at December 31, 2021.





In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains both short-term
and long-term borrowing arrangements. Other borrowings consisted of $6,750,000
and $7,012,000 of a term borrowing from the United Bankers' Bank (UBB) at March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Corporation also has
outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of $12,984,000
and $12,976,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Management plans to maintain access to various borrowing alternatives as an
appropriate funding source.



Regulatory Capital

The Corporation and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements as of March 31, 2022, and the Bank is considered "well capitalized" under regulatory and industry standards of risk-based capital.





Cash Flow from Operations


As part of the Bank's hedging program, loans held for sale are accumulated into
larger blocks before being sold.  Depending on the timing of the sales of these
blocks, there could be a positive or negative impact to net income and cash flow
from operations.  As of March 31, 2022, loans held for sale amounted to
$10,480,000 compared to $9,146,000 as of December 31, 2021 resulting in a
negative impact to cash flow from operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2022 of $1,334,000.  There was a positive impact on cash flow from
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 of $554,000 from
a decrease in loans held for sale. Excluding these changes in loans held for
sale, cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021 would have been a negative $379,000 and a positive $2,973,000,
respectively.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

The objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income through management of the Corporation's balance sheet liquidity and interest rate exposure based on changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels, and customer preferences.





The Corporation manages interest rate risk to minimize the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on earnings. The Corporation uses simulation techniques that
attempt to measure the volatility of changes in the level of interest rates,
basic banking interest rate spreads, the shape of the yield curve, and the
impact of changing product growth patterns. The primary method of measuring the
sensitivity of earnings of changing market interest rates is to simulate
expected cash flows using varying assumed interest rates while also adjusting
the timing and magnitude of non-contractual deposit re-pricing to more
accurately reflect anticipated pricing behavior. These simulations include
adjustments for the lag in prime loan re-pricing and the spread and volume
elasticity of interest-bearing deposit accounts, regular savings and money
market deposit accounts.



The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an
appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive
to changing market interest rates. The Corporation closely monitors the
sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis and projects the
effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin. Interest
sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that
mature or re-price within a designated time frame.



Management believes the Corporation's current mix of assets and liabilities
provides a reasonable level of risk related to significant fluctuations in net
interest income and the resulting volatility of the Corporation's earning base.
The Corporation's management reviews interest rate risk in relation to its
effect on net interest income, net interest margin, and the volatility of the
earnings base of the Corporation.

Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements





All of the Corporation's assets relate to commercial banking operations and are
generally monetary in nature. Therefore, they are not impacted by inflation to
the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement
cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset
position results in loss of purchasing power and conversely a net monetary
liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the commercial
banking industry, monetary assets typically exceed monetary liabilities. The
Corporation has not experienced a significant level of inflation or deflation
during the three month period ended March 31, 2022. Management continues to
closely monitor interest rate sensitivity trends through the Corporation's asset
liability management program and in calculating the allowance for loan and lease
losses.
