NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING

POLICIES

General

Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range of banking

services to individual and

corporate customers in Lee County,

Alabama and surrounding counties through its wholly owned subsidiary,

AuburnBank

(the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking that are considered

material.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared

in accordance with U.S. generally

accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.

Accordingly, these financial statements

do not

include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial

statements.

The unaudited

consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments

necessary to present a fair

statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented.

All such adjustments are of a

normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily

indicative of the results of

operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods

or the entire year. For further

information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's

Annual Report on Form

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the

Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires

management to make estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures

of contingent assets and liabilities as of

the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Actual results could

differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term

include other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities,

the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair

value of financial instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real estate

owned (“OREO”).

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update

(“ASU”

or “updates”) 2014-09,

Revenue

from Contracts with Customers

, codified at

Accounting Standards Codification

(“ASC”)

The Company adopted ASC

606 using the modified retrospective transition method.

The majority of the Company’s revenue stream

is generated from

interest income on loans and securities which are outside the

scope of ASC 606.

The Company’s sources of income that

fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposits, investment

services, interchange fees and gains and losses on sales of other real estate, all of which are

presented as components of

noninterest income. The following is a summary of the revenue streams that fall

within the scope of ASC 606:

●

Service charges on deposits, investment services, ATM

and interchange fees – Fees from these services are either

transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied

when the individual transaction is processed,

or set periodic service charges, for which the performance obligations are

satisfied over the period the service is

provided. Transaction-based fees are recognized

at the time the transaction is processed, and periodic service

charges are recognized over the service period.

●

Gains on sales of OREO

–

A gain on sale should be recognized when a contract for sale exists and control of the

asset has been transferred to the buyer.

ASC 606 lists several criteria required to conclude that a contract for sale

exists, including a determination that the institution will

collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is

entitled.

In addition to the loan-to-value, the analysis is based on various other

factors, including the credit quality

of the borrower, the structure of the loan, and any other factors

that may affect collectability.

Table of Contents

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated the effects of events and transactions through

the date of this filing that have occurred

subsequent to September 30, 2021. The Company does not believe there

were any material subsequent events during this

period that would have required further recognition or disclosure in the unaudited

consolidated financial statements

included in this report.

Accounting Developments

In the first nine months of 2021, the Company did not adopt any new accounting

guidance.

NOTE 2: BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average

common shares outstanding for

the respective period.

Diluted net earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur

upon exercise of

securities or other rights for, or convertible into, shares of the

Company’s common stock.

At September 30, 2021 and

2020, respectively, the Company

had no such securities or rights issued or outstanding, and therefore, no dilutive effect

consider for the diluted net earnings per share calculation.

The basic and diluted net earnings per share computations for the respective periods are

presented below

For the securities in the previous table, the Company does not have the intent to sell and has determined it is

not more likely

than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery

of the amortized cost basis, which may be

maturity.

On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses each security for credit impairment.

For debt securities, the Company

evaluates, where necessary,

whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash

flows to

the securities’ amortized cost basis.

In determining whether a loss is temporary,

the Company considers all relevant information including:

●

the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized

cost basis;

●

adverse conditions specifically related to the security,

an industry, or a geographic area

(for example, changes in

the financial condition of the issuer of the security,

or in the case of an asset-backed debt security,

in the financial

condition of the underlying loan obligors, including changes in technology or the discontinuance of

a segment of

the business that may affect the future earnings potential of the issuer or

underlying loan obligors of the security or

changes in the quality of the credit enhancement);

●

the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;

●

the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments

that

increase in the future;

●

failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

●

any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and

●

recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents

Agency obligations

The unrealized losses associated with agency obligations were primarily driven by declines

in interest rates and not due to

the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies

or government-sponsored

entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee

or other government support.

Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)

The unrealized losses associated with agency MBS were primarily driven by changes

in interest rates and not due to the

credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies

or government-sponsored entities

and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee or other

government support.

Securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions

The unrealized losses associated with securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions

were primarily driven by declines

in interest rates and were not due to the credit quality of the securities. Some of these securities

are guaranteed by a bond

insurer, but management did not rely on the guarantee

in making its investment decision.

These securities will continue to

be monitored as part of the Company’s quarterly

impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the rating

agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, the Company expects to recover

the entire amortized cost

basis of these securities.

The carrying values of the Company’s investment

securities could decline in the future if the financial condition of an

issuer deteriorates and the Company determines it is probable that it will not recover the entire

amortized cost basis for the

security. As a result, there is a risk that other-than-temporary

impairment charges may occur in the future.

Other-Than-Temporarily

Impaired Securities

Credit-impaired debt securities are debt securities where the Company

has written down the amortized cost basis of a

security for other-than-temporary impairment and the credit

component of the loss is recognized in earnings. At September

30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no credit-impaired debt

securities and there were no additions or

reductions in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities during the quarters

ended September 30, 2021 and

2020, respectively.

Loans secured by real estate were approximately

81.0%

of the Company’s total loan portfolio

at September 30, 2021.

September 30, 2021, the Company’s

geographic loan distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,

Alabama, and

surrounding areas.

In accordance with ASC 310, a portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity

develops and documents a

systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. As part of the

Company’s quarterly assessment

of the

allowance, the loan portfolio is disaggregated into the following portfolio segments: commercial

and industrial,

construction and land development, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and

consumer installment. Where

appropriate, the Company’s loan portfolio

segments are further disaggregated into classes. A class is generally determined

based on the initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity’s

method for monitoring and

determining credit risk.

The following describes the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments

and classes.

Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) —

includes loans to finance business operations, equipment purchases, or

other needs

for small and medium-sized commercial customers. Also included

in this category are loans to finance agricultural

production.

Generally,

the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities

of the

borrower.

We participated

as a lender in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which ended May 31, 2021.

PPP loans

are forgivable in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other

permitted purposes in accordance with the

requirements of the PPP.

The Company had

178

and

265

PPP loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of

13.3

million and $

19.0

million, included in this category, as

of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Construction and land development (“C&D”) —

includes both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing,

carrying,

and developing land into commercial developments or residential subdivisions.

Also included are loans and credit

lines for construction of residential, multi-family,

and commercial buildings. Generally,

the primary source of repayment is

dependent upon the sale or refinance of the real estate collateral.

Commercial real estate

(“CRE”) —

includes loans disaggregated into four classes: (1) owner occupied, (2)

hotel/motel,

(3) multifamily and (4) other.

●

Owner occupied

– includes loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment and

owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized

commercial customers.

Generally,

the primary

source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities of the borrower,

who owns the

property.

Table of Contents

●

Hotel/motel

– includes loans for hotels and motels.

Generally, the primary source of repayment

is dependent upon

income generated from the real estate collateral.

The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the

occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health of the borrower.

●

Multi-family

– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing multi-family properties

Loans in this class

include loans for 5 or more unit residential property and apartments leased to residents.

Generally,

the primary

source of repayment is dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral.

The underwriting of these

loans takes into consideration the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial

health of the borrower.

●

Other

– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing commercial properties

that are not owner occupied.

Loans in this class include loans for neighborhood retail centers, medical and professional

offices, single retail

stores, industrial buildings, and warehouses leased to local businesses. Generally

the primary source of repayment

is dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral. The underwriting

of these loans takes into

consideration the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health of the borrower.

Residential real estate (“RRE”) —

includes loans disaggregated into two classes: (1) consumer mortgage and (2)

investment property.

●

Consumer mortgage

– primarily includes first or second lien mortgages and home equity lines of credit

consumers that are secured by a primary residence or second home. These loans are underwritten in

accordance

with the Bank’s general loan policies

and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of

each borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit history

and property value.

●

Investment property

– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing 1-4 family residential properties.

Generally,

the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated

from leasing the property

securing the loan. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the rental rates and

property value, as

well as the financial health of the borrower.

Consumer installment —

includes loans to individuals both secured by personal property and unsecured.

Loans include

personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and other retail loans.

These loans are underwritten in accordance with the

Bank’s general loan policies and procedures

which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower’s

financial condition, satisfactory credit history,

and, if applicable, property value.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company assesses the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses prior

to the end of each calendar quarter. The level of

the allowance is based upon management’s

evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality

trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect

a borrower’s ability to repay (including

the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,

composition of the loan portfolio, economic

conditions, industry and peer bank loan loss rates, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory

recommendations. This

evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts

and timing of future cash flows

expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Loans are

charged off, in whole or

in part, when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely.

A loan may be partially charged-off

after a “confirming event” has occurred, which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant

to the terms of the loan is

unlikely.

Table of Contents

The Company deems loans impaired when, based on current information and events,

it is probable that the Company will

be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Collection of all amounts due

according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a

loan will be collected as

scheduled in the loan agreement.

An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded

investment in the loan. The

impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired are

recorded at the present value of expected

future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective

interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, the impairment

measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs.

The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate

to absorb probable losses inherent in the

portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged

to expense and decreased by charge-

offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, the Company also considers the results of its

ongoing internal and independent

loan review processes. The Company’s loan

review process assists in determining whether there are loans in the portfolio

whose credit quality has weakened over time and evaluating the risk characteristics of the

entire loan portfolio. The

Company’s loan review process includes the judgment

of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and

reviews conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their examination process.

The Company incorporates loan

review results in the determination of whether or not it is probable that it

will be able to collect all amounts due according

to the contractual terms of a loan.

As part of the Company’s quarterly assessment

of the allowance, management evaluates the loan portfolio’s

five segments:

commercial and industrial, construction and land development, commercial real estate, residential

real estate, and consumer

installment. The Company analyzes each segment and estimates an allowance allocation

for each loan segment.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses begins with a process of estimating the

probable losses inherent for each

loan segment. The estimates for these loans are established by category and based

on the Company’s internal system of

credit risk ratings and historical loss data.

The estimated loan loss allocation rate for the Company’s

internal system of

credit risk grades is based on its experience with similarly graded loans. For

loan segments where the Company believes it

does not have sufficient historical loss data, the Company may

make adjustments based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank

groups.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the periods then ended, the Company adjusted

its

historical loss rates for the commercial real estate portfolio segment based, in part,

on loss rates of peer bank groups.

The estimated loan loss allocation for all five loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for management’s

estimate of

probable losses for several “qualitative and environmental” factors. The allocation

for qualitative and environmental factors

is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. This amount

represents estimated

probable inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified,

as of the balance sheet date, and are based

upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, credit concentration

changes, prevailing economic

conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending policies or

procedures, and other factors. These

qualitative and environmental factors are considered for each of the five loan segments

and the allowance allocation, as

determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased based on the incremental

assessment of these factors.

The Company regularly re-evaluates its practices in determining the allowance

for loan losses. Since the fourth quarter of

2016, the Company has increased its look-back period each quarter to incorporate

the effects of at least one economic

downturn in its loss history. The Company believes

the extension of its look-back period is appropriate due to the risks

inherent in the loan portfolio. Absent this extension, the early cycle periods in

which the Company experienced significant

losses would be excluded from the determination of the allowance for loan losses and its balance

would decrease.

For the

quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company increased its look-back period

to 50 quarters to continue to include losses

incurred by the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2009.

The Company will likely continue to increase its look-

back period to incorporate the effects of at least one economic downturn

in its loss history.

During 2020, the Company

adjusted certain qualitative and economic factors related to changes in economic conditions

driven by the impact of the

COVID-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions, including

higher unemployment in our primary market

area.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company adjusted certain qualitative and economic factors

to reflect

improvements in economic conditions in our primary market area.

Credit Quality Indicators

The credit quality of the loan portfolio is summarized no less frequently than quarterly using categories

similar to the

standard asset classification system used by the federal banking agencies.

The following table presents credit quality

indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes. These categories are utilized to develop

the associated allowance for

loan losses using historical losses adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors

and are defined as follows:

●

Pass – loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the

obligor (or guarantors, if

any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral.

●

Special Mention – loans with potential weakness that may,

if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or

inadequately protect the Company’s position

at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do

not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.

●

Substandard Accruing – loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness which presently jeopardizes

debt repayment,

even though they are currently performing. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility

that the

Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected

●

Nonaccrual – includes loans where management has determined that full payment

of principal and interest is not

expected.

Troubled Debt

Restructurings

Impaired loans also include troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and

Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary

Relief From

Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option

to temporarily suspend certain requirements under ASC 340-10’s

TDR classifications for a limited period of time to account for the effects

of COVID-19. On April 7, 2020, the Federal

Reserve and the other banking regulators issued a statement, “Interagency Statement

on Loan Modifications and Reporting

for Financial Institutions Working

With Customers Affected

by the Coronavirus (Revised)” (the “Interagency Statement on

COVID-19 Loan Modifications”), to encourage banks to work prudently

with borrowers and to describe the agencies’

interpretation of how accounting rules under ASC 310-40, “Troubled

Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” apply to certain

COVID-19-related modifications. The Interagency Statement on COVID

-19 Loan Modifications was supplemented on

June 23, 2020 by the Interagency Examiner Guidance for Assessing Safety and Soundness

Considering the Effect of the

COVID-19 Pandemic on Institutions.

If a loan modification is eligible, a bank may elect to account for the loan under

section 4013 of the CARES Act. If a loan modification is not eligible under section 4013,

or if the bank elects not to

account for the loan modification under section 4013, the Revised Statement includes criteria

when a bank may presume a

loan modification is not a TDR in accordance with ASC 310-40.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications not qualified under

Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under the

Interagency Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications in accordance

with FASB ASC 340-10 with respect to the

classification of the loan as a TDR.

In the normal course of business, management may grant concessions to borrowers

that

are experiencing financial difficulty.

A concession may include, but is not limited to, delays in required payments of

principal and interest for a specified period, reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan,

reduction of accrued interest,

extension of the maturity date, or reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt.

A concession has been

granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Bank does not expect to collect,

when due, all amounts owed, including

interest at the original stated rate.

A concession may have also been granted if the debtor is not able to access funds

elsewhere at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured

debt.

In making the determination of

whether a loan modification is a TDR, the Company considers the individual facts and circumstances

surrounding each

modification.

As part of the credit approval process, the restructured loans are evaluated for

adequate collateral protection

in determining the appropriate accrual status at the time of restructure.

Similar to other impaired loans, TDRs are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected

payments using

the loan’s original effective

interest rate as the discount rate, or the fair value of the collateral, less selling costs if

the loan is

collateral dependent. If the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the measure of

fair value, impairment is recognized by

establishing a valuation allowance as part of the allowance for loan losses or a charge

-off to the allowance for loan losses.

In periods subsequent to the modification, all TDRs are individually evaluated

for possible impairment.

The following is a summary of accruing and nonaccrual TDRs, which are included in the impaired

loan totals, and the

related allowance for loan losses, by portfolio segment and class as of September 30,

2021 and December 31, 2020,

respectively.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,

respectively, there

were no loans modified in a

TDR within the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default (defined as 90

days or more past due).

NOTE 5: MORTGAGE SERVICING

RIGHTS, NET

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized based on the fair value of the

servicing rights on the date the

corresponding mortgage loans are sold.

An estimate of the fair value of the Company’s MSRs is

determined using

assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net

servicing income, including estimates of

prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, costs to service, escrow account earnings,

contractual servicing fee

income, ancillary income, and late fees.

Subsequent to the date of transfer, the

Company has elected to measure its MSRs

under the amortization method.

Under the amortization method, MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period

of, estimated net servicing income.

The Company has recorded MSRs related to loans sold without recourse to Fannie Mae.

The Company generally sells

conforming, fixed-rate, closed-end, residential mortgages to Fannie Mae.

MSRs are included in other assets on the

accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.

Impairment is determined by stratifying MSRs into

groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate and loan type.

If, by individual stratum, the

carrying amount of the MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established.

The valuation allowance is adjusted

as the fair value changes.

Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in earnings as a component

of mortgage

lending income.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE

Fair Value

Hierarchy

“Fair value” is defined by ASC 820,

Fair Value

Measurements and Disclosures

, as the price that would be received to sell

an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal

market (or most advantageous

market in the absence of a principal market) for an asset or liability at the measurement date.

GAAP establishes a fair

value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices

in active markets for identical assets or

liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical

assets or liabilities in active

markets.

Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and

liabilities in active markets,

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that

are observable for the

asset or liability, either directly or

indirectly.

Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect the

Company’s own assumptions about the

inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Level changes in fair value measurements

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are generally

recognized at the end of each reporting period.

The

Company monitors the valuation techniques utilized for each category of

financial assets and liabilities to ascertain when

transfers between levels have been affected.

The nature of the Company’s financial assets

and liabilities generally is such

that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be infrequent. For the nine

months ended ended September 30, 2021,

there were no transfers between levels and no changes in valuation techniques for

the Company’s financial assets and

liabilities.

Table of Contents

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring

basis

Securities available-for-sale

Fair values of securities available for sale were primarily measured using

Level 2 inputs.

For these securities, the Company

obtains pricing from third party pricing services.

These third party pricing services consider observable data that

may

include broker/dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, benchmark yields, reported

trades for similar securities, market

consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the securities’ terms and

conditions.

On a quarterly basis,

management reviews the pricing received from the third party pricing services for reasonableness

given current market

conditions.

As part of its review, management

may obtain non-binding third party broker quotes to validate the fair value

measurements.

In addition, management will periodically submit pricing provided by the

third party pricing services to

another independent valuation firm on a sample basis.

This independent valuation firm will compare the price provided

the third party pricing service with its own price and will review the significant assumptions

and valuation methodologies

used with management.

The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value

on a recurring basis as of

September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively,

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring

basis

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values of loans held for

sale are determined using

quoted market secondary market prices for similar loans.

Loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value

hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-10-35,

Receivables

, are loans for which, based on current information and

events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest

payments due in accordance with

the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans can be measured based

on the present value of expected

payments using the loan’s original effective

rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable

market price, or the fair value of

the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent.

Table of Contents

The fair value of impaired loans was primarily measured based on the value of the collateral

securing these loans. Impaired

loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including

equipment, inventory, and/or

accounts receivable. The Company determines the value of the collateral based

independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These

appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach

or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised

values are discounted for

costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s

historical knowledge, changes in market conditions

from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s

expertise and knowledge of the customer and the

customer’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective

and are typically significant unobservable inputs for

determining fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly

basis for additional impairment

and adjusted accordingly, based

on the same factors discussed above.

Mortgage servicing rights, net

MSRs, net, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets,

are carried at the lower of cost or

estimated fair value.

MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices.

To determine the fair

value of

MSRs, the Company engages an independent third party.

The independent third party’s

valuation model calculates the

present value of estimated future net servicing income using assumptions that

market participants would use in estimating

future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount

rates, default rates, cost to service, escrow

account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, and late

fees.

Periodically, the Company

will review

broker surveys and other market research to validate significant assumptions used

in the model.

The significant

unobservable inputs include prepayment speeds or the constant prepayment rate

(“CPR”) and the weighted average

discount rate.

Because the valuation of MSRs requires the use of significant unobservable

inputs, all of the Company’s

MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured

at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of

Fair Value

of Financial Instruments

ASC 825,

Financial Instruments

, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,

whether or not

recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that

value. The assumptions used in the

estimation of the fair value of the Company’s

financial instruments are explained below.

Where quoted market prices are

not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow analyses.

Discounted cash flows can be

significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate

and estimates of future cash flows. The

following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent

markets and should not be considered

representative of the liquidation value of the Company’s

financial instruments, but rather are a good-faith estimate of the

fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.

ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all

nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair

value of its financial instruments:

Loans, net

Fair values for loans were calculated using discounted cash flows. The discount rates reflected

current rates at which similar

loans would be made for the same remaining maturities. Expected

future cash flows were projected based on contractual

cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

The fair value of loans was measured using an exit price

notion.

Loans held for sale

Fair values of loans held for sale are determined using quoted secondary market

prices for similar loans.

Time Deposits

Fair values for time deposits were estimated using discounted cash flows. The

discount rates were based on rates currently

offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Table of Contents

The carrying value,

related estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s

financial

instruments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are presented below.

This table excludes financial instruments

for which the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial assets for which fair value approximates carrying value

included cash and cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value

included

noninterest-bearing demand deposits,

interest-bearing demand deposits, and savings deposits.

Fair value approximates

carrying value in these financial liabilities due to these products having no stated

maturity.

Additionally, financial

liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included overnight

borrowings such as federal funds purchased

and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

with the Board of Governors

of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) under the Bank Holding

Company Act of 1956, as amended (the

“BHC Act”). The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1990, and

in 1994 it succeeded its Alabama predecessor as the

bank holding company controlling AuburnBank, an Alabama state

member bank with its principal office in Auburn,

Alabama (the “Bank”). The Company and its predecessor have controlled the Bank

since 1984.

As a bank holding

company, the Company

may diversify into a broader range of financial services and other business activities than currentl

are permitted to the Bank under applicable laws and regulations.

The holding company structure also provides greater

financial and operating flexibility than is presently permitted to the Bank.

The Bank has operated continuously since 1907 and currently conducts its business

primarily in East Alabama, including

Lee County and surrounding areas.

The Bank has been a member of the Federal Reserve System since April 1995.

The

Bank’s primary regulators are the Federal

Reserve and the Alabama Superintendent of Banks (the “Alabama

Superintendent”).

The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”)

since 1991.

Certain of the statements made in this discussion and analysis and elsewhere, including information

incorporated herein by

reference to other documents, are “forward-looking statements” within the

meaning of, and subject to, the protections of

Section 27A of the Securities

Act.

Financial Summary

The Company’s net earnings were $6.2

million for the first nine months of 2021, compared to $5.4 million for the first nine

months of 2020.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.74 per share for the first nine

months of 2021, compared to

$1.51 per share for the first nine months of 2020.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $18.3 million for the first nine

months of 2021, a 1% decrease compared to $18.5

million for the first nine months of 2020.

This decrease was primarily due to net interest margin compression

resulting

from the Federal Reserve’s interest

rate reductions and bond purchases in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our

securities holdings, which generally yield less than loans, increased as a percentage

of our total assets reflecting deployment

of increased deposits. Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) de

creased to 2.59% in the first nine months of 2021, compared to

2.96%

for the first nine months of 2020,

primarily due to the continued lower interest rate environment and changes in our

asset mix resulting from the significant increase in deposits from government

stimulus and relief programs and customers’

increased savings.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) included $0.8

million in PPP loan fees, net of related costs for the

nine months ended of 2021, compared to $0.5 million for the the nine months ended

of 2020.

At September 30, 2021, the Company’s

allowance for loan losses was $5.1 million, or 1.13% of total loans, compared

$5.6 million, or 1.22%

of total loans, at December 31, 2020, and $5.6 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at September 30,

2020.

Excluding PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA, the Company’s

allowance for loan losses was 1.16% of

total loans at September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $0.6 million during the

first nine months of 2021,

compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million during the first nine months of 2020.

The

negative provision for loan losses was primarily related to improvements in economic conditions

in our primary market

area, and related improvements in our asset quality.

The provision for loan losses is based upon various estimates and

judgements, including the absolute level of loans, loan growth, credit quality and the amount of

net charge-offs.

Noninterest income was $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared

to $4.0 million for the first nine months of

2020.

The decrease was primarily due to a $0.3 million non-taxable death benefit from bank-owned

life insurance received

in 2020

and a $0.4 million decrease in mortgage lending income in 2021 as refinance activity declined

in our primary

market area.

Noninterest expense was $14.3 million for the first nine months of 2021

compared to $14.5 million for the first nine months

of 2020.

The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $0.7

million in various expenses related to the redevelopment of

the Company’s headquarters in downtown

Auburn.

This decrease was mostly offset by increases in salaries and benefits

expense of $0.3 million and other noninterest expense of $0.2 million during the

first nine months of 2021.

Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2021

compared to $1.2 million during the first nine

months of 2020,

reflecting an increase in earnings before taxes and an effective tax rate of 17.

55% and 17.64%,

respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.78 per share in the first nine months of 2021,

an increase of 2% from the same

period of 2020.

The Company’s share repurchases of $1.3

million since December 31, 2020 resulted in 37,093 fewer

outstanding common shares at September 30, 2021.

At September 30, 2021, the Bank’s regulatory

capital ratios were well

above the minimum amounts required to be “well capitalized” under current regulatory

standards with a total risk-based

capital ratio of 17.72%, a tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.57%

and a common equity

tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio of 16.82% at September

30, 2021.

For the third quarter of 2021, net earnings were $1.9 million, or $0.53 per

share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.54 per

share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2021,

3% increase compared to $6.0

million for the third quarter of 2020.

This increase was primarily due to balance sheet

growth, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin.

The Company’s net interest margin

(tax-equivalent) decreased

to 2.51%

in the third quarter of 2021,

compared to 2.72% for the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to the lower interest

rate environment and changes in our asset mix resulting from the significant increase

in deposits from government stimulus

and relief programs and customers’ increased savings. Net interest income (tax-equivalent)

included $0.3 million in PPP

loan fees, net of related costs for both the third quarter of 2021 and 2020.

The Company had no provision for loan losses

during the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.3 million in provision for loan losses during

the third quarter 2020.

Noninterest income was $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to

$1.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.

The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage lending

income of $0.4 million as

refinance activity slowed in our primary market area.

Noninterest expense was $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2021,

largely unchanged, compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Income tax expense was $0.4

million for the third quarter of

2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021

was 17.07%, compared to

17.23%

in the third quarter of 2020.

COVID-19 Impact Assessment

In December 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in China and has since spread

globally. In March 2020,

the World Health

Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and the

United States declared a National Public Health Emergency.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, at times, especially in 2020, severely restricted

the level of economic activity in our markets.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Alabama, and

most other states, have taken preventative or protective

actions to prevent the spread of the virus, including imposing restrictions on travel

and business operations and a statewide

mask mandate, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside

of their homes, limitations on

gathering of people and social distancing, and causing temporary closures of businesses

that have been deemed to be non-

essential.

Though certain of these measures have been relaxed or

eliminated, increases in reported cases could cause these

measures to be reestablished.

Auburn University, a major

source of economic activity in Lee County,

went to remote

instruction on March 16, 2020.

Auburn University has guidelines for the remainder of the 2021 school year,

which

involves resumption of full on-site operations as well as other measures.

COVID-19 has significantly affected local state, national and

global health and economic activity and its future effects are

uncertain and will depend on various factors, including, among others, the duration

and scope of the pandemic, the

development and distribution of COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, effective

drug treatments and vaccines, together

with governmental, regulatory and private sector responses.

COVID-19 has had continuing significant effects on the

economy, financial

markets and our employees, customers and vendors. Our business, financial condition

and results of

operations generally rely upon the ability of our borrowers to make deposits and

repay their loans, the value of collateral

underlying our secured loans, market value, stability and liquidity and demand

for loans and other products and services we

offer, all of which are affected

by the pandemic.

See “Balance Sheet Analysis – Loans” for supplemental COVID-19

disclosures.

We have implemented

a number of procedures in response to the pandemic to support the safety and

well-being of our

employees, customers and shareholders.

•

We believe our business continuity

plan has worked to provide essential banking services to our

communities and

customers, while protecting our employees’ health.

As part of our efforts to exercise social distancing in accordance with

the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, starting March 23,

2020, we limited branch lobby service to appointment

only while continuing to operate our branch drive-thru facilities and

ATMs.

As permitted by state public health guidelines,

on June 1, 2020, we re-opened some of our branch lobbies.

In 2021, we opened our remaining branch lobbies. We

continue

to provide services through our online and other electronic channels.

In addition, we established remote work access to

help employees stay at home where job duties permit.

Table of Contents

•

We are focused on servicing

the financial needs of our commercial and consumer clients with extensions

and

deferrals to loan customers effected by COVID-19, provided

such customers were not more than 30 days past due at the

time of the request;

and

•

were a participating lender in the PPP.

PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used

for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements

of the PPP.

These loans carry a fixed rate of

1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020)

or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not

forgiven, in whole or in part.

Payments are deferred until either the date on which the Small Business

Administration

(“SBA”) remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or

the date that is 10 months after the last day of the

covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness

within that 10-month period.

We believe these loans

and our

participation in the program is good for our customers and the communities we

serve.

and Venues

Act (the “Economic Aid

Act”) was signed into law.

The Economic Aid Act provides a second $900 billion stimulus

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S.

GAAP and with general practices

within the banking industry. In connection

with the application of those principles, we have made judgments and estimates

which, in the case of the determination of our allowance for loan losses, our assessment of other-than-temporary

impairment, recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the valuation

of OREO and deferred tax assets, were

critical to the determination of our financial position and results of operations.

Other policies also require subjective

judgment and assumptions and may accordingly impact our financial position and results

of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company assesses the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses prior

to the end of each calendar quarter. Determining

the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate

because the level of the allowance is

based upon management’s evaluation of

the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality trends,

known

and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect

a borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of

future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the

loan portfolio, economic conditions,

industry and peer bank loan loss rates, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory

recommendations. This evaluation

is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and

timing of future cash flows expected to

be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.

Loans are charged off, in whole or in part,

when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely.

A loan may be partially charged-off after a

“confirming event” has occurred, which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant

to the terms of the loan is unlikely.

The Company deems loans impaired when, based on current information and events, it is

probable that the Company will

be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Collection of all amounts due

according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a

loan will be collected as

scheduled in the loan agreement.

An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded

investment in the loan. The

impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired

are recorded at the present value of expected

future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective

interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, the impairment

measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs.

The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate

to absorb probable losses inherent in the

portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged

to expense and decreased by charge-

offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, the Company also considers the results of its

ongoing internal and independent

loan review processes. The Company’s loan

review process assists in determining whether there are loans in the portfolio

whose credit quality has weakened over time and evaluating the risk characteristics of the

entire loan portfolio. The

Company’s loan review process includes the judgment

of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and

reviews that may have been conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their examination

process. The Company

incorporates loan review results in the determination of whether or not it is probable

that it will be able to collect all

amounts due according to the contractual terms of a loan.

As part of the Company’s quarterly assessment

of the allowance, management divides the loan portfolio into five segments:

commercial and industrial, construction and land development, commercial real estate, residential

real estate, and consumer

installment. The Company analyzes each segment and estimates an allowance allocation

for each loan segment.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses begins with a process of estimating the

probable losses inherent for each

loan segment. The estimates for these loans are established by category and based

on the Company’s internal system of

credit risk ratings and historical loss data.

The estimated loan loss allocation rate for the Company’s

internal system of

credit risk grades is based on its experience with similarly graded loans. For

loan segments where the Company believes it

does not have sufficient historical loss data, the Company may

make adjustments based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank

groups.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the periods then ended, the Company adjusted

its

historical loss rates for the commercial real estate portfolio segment based, in part, on loss

rates of peer bank groups.

Table of Contents

The estimated loan loss allocation for all five loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for management’s

estimate of

probable losses for several “qualitative and environmental” factors. The allocation

for qualitative and environmental factors

is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. This amount

represents estimated

probable inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified,

as of the balance sheet date, and are based

upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, credit concentration

changes, prevailing economic

conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending policies or

procedures, and other influencing

factors. These qualitative and environmental factors are considered

for each of the five loan segments and the allowance

allocation, as determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased

based on the incremental assessment of

these factors.

The Company regularly re-evaluates its practices in determining the allowance

for loan losses. Since the fourth quarter of

2016, the Company has increased

its look-back period each quarter to incorporate the effects of at least one

economic

downturn in its loss history. The Company believes

the extension of its look-back period is appropriate due to the risks

inherent in the loan portfolio. Absent this extension, the early cycle periods in

which the Company experienced significant

losses would be excluded from the determination of the allowance for loan losses and its

balance would decrease.

For the

quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company increased its look-back

period to 50 quarters to continue to include losses

incurred by the Company beginning with the first quarter

of 2009.

The Company will likely continue to increase its look-

back period to incorporate the effects of at least one economic downturn in

its loss history.

During 2020, the Company

adjusted certain qualitative and economic factors related to changes in economic conditions

driven by the impact of the

COVID-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions, including

higher unemployment in our primary market

area.

During the second quarter of 2021,

the Company adjusted certain qualitative and economic factors to reflect

improvements in economic conditions in our primary market area.

Further adjustments may be made in the future as a

result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Assessment for Other-Than-Temporary

Impairment of Securities

On a quarterly basis, management makes an assessment to determine

whether there have been events or economic

circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is other-than-temporarily

impaired.

For debt securities with an unrealized loss, an other-than-temporary

impairment write-down is triggered when (1) the

Company has the intent to sell a debt security,

(2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the

debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) the Company does not expect

to recover the entire amortized

cost basis of the debt security.

If the Company has the intent to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that it

will

be required to sell the debt security before recovery,

the other-than-temporary write-down is equal to the entire difference

between the debt security’s amortized cost

and its fair value.

If the Company does not intend to sell the security or it is not

more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery,

the other-than-temporary impairment write-

down is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other

factors.

The

credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between

the security’s amortized

cost basis and the

present value of its expected future cash flows.

The remaining difference between the security’s

fair value and the present

value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other

comprehensive

income, net of applicable taxes.

The Company is required to own certain stock as a condition of membership, such as

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)

and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).

These non-marketable equity securities are accounted for at cost

which equals par or

redemption value.

These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value as their ownership is restricted

and there is

no market for these securities.

The Company records these non-marketable equity securities as a component

of other

assets, which are periodically evaluated for impairment. Management considers

these non-marketable equity securities to

be long-term investments. Accordingly,

when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers

the

ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in

value.

Fair Value

Determination

U.S. GAAP requires management to value and disclose certain of the Company’s

assets and liabilities at fair value,

including investments classified as available-for-sale and derivatives.

ASC 820,

Fair Value

Measurements and Disclosures

which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance

with U.S. GAAP and expands

disclosures about fair value measurements.

For more information regarding fair value measurements and disclosures,

please refer to Note 6, Fair Value,

of the consolidated financial statements that accompany this report.

Table of Contents

Fair values are based on active market prices of identical assets or liabilities when available.

Comparable assets or

liabilities or a composite of comparable assets in active markets are used when identical assets

or liabilities do not have

readily available active market pricing.

However, some of the Company’s

assets or liabilities lack an available or

comparable trading market characterized by frequent transactions between

willing buyers and sellers. In these cases, fair

value is estimated using pricing models that use discounted cash flows and

other pricing techniques. Pricing models and

their underlying assumptions are based upon management’s

best estimates for appropriate discount rates, default rates,

prepayments, market volatility,

and other factors, taking into account current observable market data and experience.

These assumptions may have a significant effect on the reported

fair values of assets and liabilities and the related income

and expense. As such, the use of different models and assumptions,

as well as changes in market conditions, could result in

materially different net earnings and retained earnings results.

Other Real Estate Owned

OREO consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is reported

at the lower of cost or

fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the date acquired,

with any loss recognized as a charge-off through the

allowance for loan losses. Additional OREO losses for subsequent valuation adjustments

are determined on a specific

property basis and are included as a component of other noninterest expense along

with holding costs. Any gains or losses

on disposal of OREO are also reflected in noninterest expense. Significant judgments

and complex estimates are required in

estimating the fair value of OREO, and the period of time within which such estimates can

be considered current is

significantly shortened during periods of market volatility.

As a result, the net proceeds realized from sales transactions

could differ significantly from appraisals, comparable sales, and

other estimates used to determine the fair value of other

OREO.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had no OREO properties.

Deferred Tax

Asset Valuation

A valuation allowance is recognized for a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of available

evidence, it is more-likely-

than-not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate

realization of deferred tax assets

is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods

in which those temporary differences become

deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred

tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and

tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of taxable

income over the last three years and

projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are

deductible, management believes

it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences

at September 30, 2021. The amount

of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however,

could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are

reduced.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $18.3 million for the first nine

months of 2021 compared to $18.5 million for the

first nine months of 2020.

This decrease was due to a decline in the Company’s

net interest margin (tax-equivalent),

partially offset by balance sheet growth.

The tax-equivalent yield on total interest-earning assets decreased by 58 basis points

to 2.86% in the first nine months of

2021 compared to 3.44% in the first nine months of 2020.

This decrease was primarily due to the lower interest rate

environment and changes in our asset mix resulting from the significant increase

in deposits from government stimulus and

relief programs and customers’ increased savings.

The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 31 basis points to 0.41%

in the first nine months of 2021 compared

to 0.72% in the first nine months of 2020.

The net decrease in our funding costs was primarily due to lower prevailing

market interest rates.

Our funding costs declined less than the rates earned on our interest earning assets.

The Company continues to deploy various asset liability management strategies

to manage its risk to interest rate

fluctuations. The Company’s

net interest margin could continue to experience pressure due to

reduced earning asset yields

and increased competition for quality loan opportunities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to provide

an allowance for loan losses that

management believes, based on its processes and estimates, should be adequate

to provide for the probable losses on

outstanding loans.

The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $0.6 million for the

first nine months of

2021, compared to $1.1 million in provision for loan losses for the first nine months

of 2020.

The negative provision for

loan losses was primarily related to improvements in economic conditions in our primary

market area.

The provision for

loan losses is based upon various factors, including the absolute level of loans, loan growth, the credit

quality, and the

amount of net charge-offs or recoveries.

Table of Contents

Based upon its assessment of the loan portfolio, management adjusts the allowance for loan

losses to an amount it believes

should be appropriate to adequately cover its estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio.

The Company’s allowance

for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at September 30,

2021, compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2020.

At September 30, 2021, the Company’s

allowance for loan losses was 1.16% of total loans, excluding PPP

loans, which are

guaranteed by the SBA.

While the policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as

well as the

resulting provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered

adequate by management and are reviewed from

time to time by our regulators, they are based on estimates and judgments and are therefore

approximate and imprecise.

Factors beyond our control (such as conditions in the local and national economy,

local real estate markets, or industries)

may have a material adverse effect on our asset quality and the adequacy of our

allowance for loan losses resulting in

significant increases in the provision for loan losses.

The Company’s income from mortgage lending

was primarily attributable to the (1) origination and sale of new mortgage

loans and (2) servicing of mortgage loans. Origination income, net, is comprised of gains

or losses from the sale of the

mortgage loans originated, origination fees, underwriting fees, and other fees associated

with the origination of loans,

which are netted against the commission expense associated with these originations. The

Company’s normal practice is to

originate mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and to either sell or

retain the associated MSRs when the loan is

sold.

MSRs are recognized based on the fair value of the servicing right on the date the corresponding

mortgage loan is sold.

Subsequent to the date of transfer, the Company

has elected to measure its MSRs under the amortization method.

Servicing

fee income is reported net of any related amortization expense.

The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.

Impairment is determined by grouping MSRs by

common predominant characteristics, such as interest rate and loan type.

If the aggregate carrying amount of a particular

group of MSRs exceeds the group’s aggregate fair

value, a valuation allowance for that group is established.

The valuation

allowance is adjusted as the fair value changes.

An increase in mortgage interest rates typically results in an increase in the

fair value of the MSRs while a decrease in mortgage interest rates typically results in a decrease

in the fair value of MSRs.

The following table presents a breakdown of the Company’s

mortgage lending income.

The Company’s income from mortgage lending

typically fluctuates as mortgage interest rates change and is primarily

attributable to the origination and sale of new mortgage loans. Origination income decreased

in 2021 compared to 2020 due

to a decrease in refinance activity in our primary market area.

Income from bank-owned life insurance decreased primarily due to $0.3

million in non-taxable death benefits received in

The assets that support these policies are administered by the life insurance carriers

and the income we receive (i.e.,

increases or decreases in the cash surrender value of the policies and death benefits received)

on these policies is dependent

upon the returns the insurance carriers are able to earn on the underlying investments that

support these policies. Earnings

on these policies are generally not taxable.

The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a decrease in deferred costs related

to the PPP loan program,

routine annual wage and benefit increases, and management increasing the

minimum hourly wage for banking positions to

$15.

The decrease in net occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to

a reduction of various expenses related to the

redevelopment of the Company’s headquarters

in downtown Auburn.

This amount includes revised depreciation estimates

and other temporary relocation costs.

Income Tax

Expense

Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2021

compared to $1.2 million for the first nine months of

2020,

reflecting an increase in earnings before taxes and an effective tax rate of 17.55%

and 17.64%, respectively.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Securities

Securities available-for-sale were $407.5

million at September 30, 2021 compared to $335.2 million at December 31, 2020.

This increase reflects an increase in the amortized cost basis of securities available-for-sale

of $78.8 million, and a decrease

of $6.5 million in the fair value of securities available-for-sale.

The increase in the amortized cost basis of securities

available-for-sale was primarily attributable to management

allocating more funding to the investment portfolio following

the significant increase in customer deposits.

The decrease in the fair value of securities was primarily due to an increase

long-term interest rates.

The average annualized tax-equivalent yields earned on total securities

were 1.68%

in the first

nine months of 2021 and 2.24% in the first nine months of 2020.

Excluding PPP loans, total loans net of unearned income, were $440.4

million, a decrease

of $1.9 million from $442.3 million at December 31, 2020.

Four loan categories represented approximately 98% of the

loan portfolio at September 30, 2021: commercial real estate (56%),

residential real estate (18%), commercial and industrial

(17%) and construction and land development (8%).

Approximately 23% of the Company’s commercial

real estate loans

were classified as owner-occupied at September 30, 2021.

Within the residential real estate portfolio segment, the Company

had junior lien mortgages of approximately $8.1 million,

or 2% of total loans, at September 30, 2021, compared to $8.7 million, or 2% of total loans, at December

31, 2020.

For

residential real estate mortgage loans with a consumer purpose, the Company

had no loans that required interest-only

payments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company’s

residential real estate mortgage portfolio does

not include any option ARM loans, subprime loans, or any material amount of other high-risk

consumer mortgage products.

The average yield earned on loans and loans held for sale was 4.47%

in the first nine months of 2021 and 4.71% in the first

nine months of 2020.

The specific economic and credit risks associated with our loan portfolio include,

but are not limited to, the effects of

current economic conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic’s

effects, on our borrowers’ cash flows, real estate market

sales volumes, valuations, availability and cost of financing properties,

real estate industry concentrations, competitive

pressures from a wide range of other lenders, deterioration in certain credits, interest rate

fluctuations, reduced collateral

values or non-existent collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration

of borrowers, fraud, and any

violation of applicable laws and regulations.

The Company attempts to reduce these economic and credit risks through its loan-to-value

guidelines for collateralized

loans, investigating the creditworthiness of borrowers and monitoring borrowers’ financial

position. Also, we have

established and periodically review,

lending policies and procedures. Banking regulations limit a bank’s

credit exposure by

prohibiting unsecured loan relationships that exceed 10% of its capital; or 20%

of capital, if loans in excess of 10% of

capital are fully secured. Under these regulations, we are prohibited from having secured

loan relationships in excess of

approximately $20.9 million.

Furthermore, we have an internal limit for aggregate credit exposure (loans outstanding

plus

unfunded commitments) to a single borrower of $18.8 million. Our loan policy requires

that the Loan Committee of the

Board of Directors approve any loan relationships that exceed this internal limit.

At September 30, 2021, the Bank had no

relationships exceeding these limits.

We periodically analyze

our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan portfolios to determine if

concentration of credit risk exists in any one or more industries. We

use classification systems broadly accepted by the

financial services industry in order to categorize our commercial borrowers.

Loan concentrations to borrowers in the

following classes exceeded 25% of the Bank’s total risk

-based capital at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

COVID-19 Modifications

In light of disruptions in economic conditions caused by COVID-19, the financial regulators

have issued guidance

encouraging banks to work constructively with borrowers affected

by the virus in our community.

This guidance, including

the Interagency Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications and the Interagency Examiner

Guidance for Assessing Safety

and Soundness Considering the Effect of the COVID-19

Pandemic on Institutions, provides that the agencies will not

criticize financial institutions that mitigate credit risk through prudent actions consistent

with safe and sound practices.

Specifically, examiners

will not criticize institutions for working with borrowers as part of a risk

mitigation strategy

intended to improve existing loans, even if the restructured loans have or develop

weaknesses that ultimately result in

adverse credit classification.

Upon demonstrating the need for payment relief, the bank will work with qualified borrowers

that were otherwise current before the pandemic to determine the most appropriate

deferral option.

For residential

mortgage and consumer loans the borrower may elect to defer payments for up to three

months.

Interest continues to

accrue and the amount due at maturity increases.

Commercial real estate, commercial, and small business borrowers may

elect to defer payments for up to three months or pay scheduled interest payments for

a six-month period.

The bank

recognizes that a combination of the payment relief options may be prudent dependent

on a borrower’s business type.

of September 30, 2021, we had no COVID-19 loan deferrals outstanding, compared

to $32.3 million, or 7% of total loans at

December 31, 2020.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law

from classification as a TDR

In addition, the Interagency Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications provides

circumstances in

which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a TDR if such loan is not eligible

for modification under

Section 4013.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level that management believes

appropriate to adequately cover

the Company’s estimate of probable

losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was $5.1

million at

September 30, 2021 compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2020,

which management believed to be adequate at each of

the respective dates. The judgments and estimates associated

with the determination of the allowance for loan losses are

described under “Critical Accounting Policies.”

As described under “Critical Accounting Policies,” management assesses the adequacy

of the allowance prior to the end of

each calendar quarter. The level of the allowance

is based upon management’s evaluation

of the loan portfolios, past loan

loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that

may affect the borrower’s ability to repay

(including the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,

composition of the loan

portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan loss rates, and other

pertinent factors. This evaluation is

inherently subjective as it requires various material estimates and judgments, including

the amounts and timing of future

cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to

significant change. The ratio of our

allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.13%

at September 30, 2021, compared to 1.22% at December 31,

2020.

At September 30, 2021, the Company’s allowance

for loan losses was 1.16% of total loans, excluding PPP loans. In

the future, the allowance to total loans outstanding ratio will increase or decrease

to the extent the factors that influence our

quarterly allowance assessment, including the duration and magnitude

of COVID-19 effects, in their entirety either improve

or weaken.

In addition, our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically

review the

Company’s allowance for loan losses,

and may require the Company to make additional provisions to the allowance

for

loan losses based on their judgment about information

available to them at the time of their examinations.

Nonperforming Assets

The Company had $0.5

million in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31,

2020, respectively.

The Company had $0.1 million of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at September

30, 2021 and December

31, 2020, respectively.

The Company had no OREO at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Potential Problem Loans

Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and

where information about possible credit

problems of a borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s

ability to comply with present

repayment terms.

This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards

established by the Federal

Reserve, the Company’s primary regulator,

for loans classified as substandard, excluding nonaccrual loans.

Potential

Deposits

Total deposits increased

$115.2 million, or 14% to $955.0 million at September 30,

2021, compared to $839.8 million at

December 31, 2020.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $299.1 million, or 31% of total deposits, at September

30, 2021,

compared to $245.4 million, or 29% of total deposits at December 31, 2020.

These increases reflect deposits from

customers who received PPP loans, the impact of government stimulus checks,

delayed tax payments and less customer

spending and greater savings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits was 0.41% in the first nine

months of 2021 compared to 0.72% in

the first nine months of 2020.

The decline in average rates paid on total interest-bearing deposits was largely

driven by

generally lower market interest rates.

Other Borrowings

Other borrowings consist of short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Short-term borrowings generally consist of federal

funds purchased and agreements with certain customers to sell certain securities under

agreements to repurchase with an

original maturity less than one year.

The Bank had available federal funds lines totaling $41.0 million with none

outstanding at September 30, 2021, and at December 31, 2020, respectively.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase

totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $2.4 million at December

31, 2020.

The average rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.50% in the first nine months of 2021

and 2020, respectively.

The Company had no long-term debt at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Company’s consolidated

stockholders’ equity was $104.9 million and $107.7

million as of September 30, 2021 and

December 31, 2020, respectively.

The decrease from December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by an other comprehensive

loss due to the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale,

net of tax of $4.8 million, cash dividends

paid of $2.8 million, and repurchases of the Company’s

stock of $1.3 million.

During the first nine months of 2021, the

Company repurchased 37,093 shares under the Company’s

current stock repurchase program.

These shares were

repurchased at an average cost per share of $34.36 and a total cost of $1.3 million.

These decreases in the Company’s

consolidated stockholders’ equity were partially offset

by net earnings of $6.2 million.

On January 1, 2015, the Company and Bank became subject to the rules of the Basel III regulatory

capital framework and

related Dodd-Frank Wall

Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes.

The rules included the implementation of a

capital conservation buffer that is added to the minimum requirements

for capital adequacy purposes.

The capital

conservation buffer was subject to a three year phase-in period

that began on January 1, 2016 and was fully phased-in on

January 1, 2019 at 2.5%.

A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the

required amount will be

subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary

bonus payments to

executive officers.

At September 30, 2021, the Bank’s ratio

was sufficient to meet the fully phased-in conservation buffer.

Table of Contents

Effective March 20, 2020, the Federal Reserve and the other

federal banking regulators adopted an interim final rule that

amended the capital conservation buffer.

The interim final rule was adopted as a final rule on August 26, 2020.

The new

rule revises the definition of “eligible retained income” for purposes of the

maximum payout ratio to allow banking

organizations to more freely use their capital buffers to

promote lending and other financial intermediation activities, by

making the limitations on capital distributions more gradual.

The eligible retained income is now the greater of (i) net

income for the four preceding quarters, net of distributions and associated

tax effects not reflected in net income; and (ii)

the average of all net income over the preceding four quarters.

The interim final rule only affects the capital buffers, and

banking organizations were encouraged to

make prudent capital distribution decisions.

The Federal Reserve has treated us as a “small bank holding company’ under the Federal

Reserve’s policy.

Accordingly,

our capital adequacy is evaluated at the Bank level, and not for the Company and its consolidated

subsidiaries.

The Bank’s

tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.57%, CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 16.82%, tier 1 risk-based

capital ratio was 16.82%, and

total risk-based capital ratio was 17.72% at September 30, 2021. These

ratios exceed the minimum regulatory capital

percentages of 5.0% for tier 1 leverage ratio, 6.5% for CET1 risk-based capital ratio,

8.0% for tier 1 risk-based capital ratio,

and 10.0% for total risk-based capital ratio to be considered “well capitalized.”

The Bank’s capital conservation buffer

was

9.72%

at September 30, 2021.

MARKET AND LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Management’s objective is to manage assets and

liabilities to provide a satisfactory,

consistent level of profitability within

the framework of established liquidity,

loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. The Bank’s

Asset Liability

Management Committee (“ALCO”) is charged with the responsibility

of monitoring these policies, which are designed to

ensure an acceptable asset/liability composition. Two

critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate risk and liquidity

risk management.

Interest Rate Risk Management

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk arising from

fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO

measures and evaluates interest rate risk so that the Bank can meet customer demands for

various types of loans and

deposits. Measurements used to help manage interest rate sensitivity include an earnings

simulation model and an economic

value of equity (“EVE”) model.

Earnings simulation

. Management believes that interest rate risk is best estimated by our earnings simulation

modeling.

Forecasted levels of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off

-balance sheet financial instruments are combined

with ALCO forecasts of market interest rates for the next 12 months and other

factors in order to produce various earnings

simulations and estimates. To

help limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for earnings at risk which seek to limit the

variance of net interest income from gradual changes in interest rates.

For changes up or down in rates from management’s

flat interest rate forecast over the next 12 months, policy limits for net interest income variances

are as follows:

●

+/- 20% for a gradual change of 400 basis points

●

+/- 15% for a gradual change of 300 basis points

●

+/- 10% for a gradual change of 200 basis points

●

+/- 5% for a gradual change of 100 basis points

At September 30, 2021, our earnings simulation model indicated

that we were in compliance with the policy guidelines

noted above.

Table of Contents

Economic Value

of Equity

. EVE measures the extent that the estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities, and off-

balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are

estimated by discounting expected

cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items,

which establishes a base case EVE. In contrast with our

earnings simulation model, which evaluates interest rate risk over a 12 month timeframe,

EVE uses a terminal horizon

which allows for the re-pricing of all assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items.

Further, EVE is measured using values

as of a point in time and does not reflect any actions that ALCO might take in responding to

or anticipating changes in

interest rates, or market and competitive conditions.

To help limit interest rate risk,

we have stated policy guidelines for an

instantaneous basis point change in interest rates, such that our EVE should not decrease from our

base case by more than

the following:

●

45% for an instantaneous change of +/- 400 basis points

●

35% for an instantaneous change of +/- 300 basis points

●

25% for an instantaneous change of +/- 200 basis points

●

15% for an instantaneous change of +/- 100 basis points

At September 30, 2021, our EVE model indicated that we were in compliance

with our policy guidelines.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income

will be affected by

changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated

with interest-bearing liabilities

may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition,

the magnitude and duration of changes in interest

rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain

assets and liabilities may have

similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different

degrees to changes in market interest rates, and other

economic and market factors, including market perceptions.

Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate

in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types of assets

and liabilities may lag behind

changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate

mortgage loans, have features (generally

referred to as “interest rate caps and floors”) which limit changes in interest rates.

Prepayment and early withdrawal levels

also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments.

The ability of many

borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates or

economic stress, which may

differ across industries and economic sectors. ALCO reviews each of the

above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with

several different interest rate scenarios in seeking satisfactory,

consistent levels of profitability within the framework of the

Company’s established liquidity,

loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.

The Company may also use derivative financial instruments to improve the balance between

interest-sensitive assets and

interest-sensitive liabilities, and as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity

while continuing to meet the credit and deposit

needs of our customers. From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate

swaps to facilitate customer

transactions and meet their financing needs. These interest rate swaps qualify as derivatives,

but are not designated as

hedging instruments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company

had no derivative contracts designated

as part of a hedging relationship to assist in managing its interest rate sensitivity.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity is the Company’s ability to convert

assets into cash equivalents in order to meet daily cash flow requirements,

primarily for deposit withdrawals, loan demand and maturing obligations. Without

proper management of its liquidity,

the

Company could experience higher costs of obtaining funds due to insufficient liquidity,

while excessive liquidity can lead

to a decline in earnings due to the cost of foregoing alternative higher-yielding

investment opportunities.

Liquidity is managed at two levels. The first is the liquidity of the Company.

The second is the liquidity of the Bank. The

management of liquidity at both levels is essential, because the Company and the Bank are

separate and distinct legal

entities with different funding needs and sources, and each are subject

to regulatory guidelines and requirements.

The

Company depends upon dividends from the Bank for liquidity to pay its operating expenses,

debt obligations and

dividends.

The Bank’s payment of dividends depends

on its earnings, liquidity, capital

and the absence of any regulatory

restrictions.

The primary source of funding and liquidity for the Company has been dividends received

from the Bank.

If needed, the

Company could also issue common stock or other securities.

Primary uses of funds by the Company include dividends paid

to stockholders, Company stock repurchases, and Company expenses.

Table of Contents

Primary sources of funding for the Bank include customer deposits, other borrowings,

repayment and maturity of securities,

sales of securities, and the sale and repayment of loans. The Bank has access to federal

funds lines from various banks and

borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window.

In addition to these sources, the Bank may participate in the

FHLB’s advance program to obtain funding for

its growth. Advances include both fixed and variable terms and may be

taken out with varying maturities. At September 30, 2021, the Bank had a remaining

available line of credit with the FHLB

of $310.7 million. At September 30, 2021, the Bank also had $41.0

million of available federal funds lines with no

borrowings outstanding. Primary uses of funds include repayment of maturing obligations

and growing the loan portfolio.

Management believes that the Company and the Bank have adequate sources of liquidity

to meet all their respective known

contractual obligations and unfunded commitments, including loan commitments

and reasonable borrower, depositor,

and

creditor requirements over the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual

Obligations

At September 30, 2021, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit of $1.

million and unfunded loan commitments

outstanding of $70.5 million.

Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and

many will expire

without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future

cash requirements. If needed to

fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank could liquidate federal funds

sold or a portion of our securities available-

for-sale, or draw on its available credit facilities.

Mortgage lending activities

We primarily sell residential

mortgage loans in the secondary market to Fannie Mae while retaining the servicing of these

loans. The sale agreements for these residential mortgage loans with Fannie Mae

and other investors include various

representations and warranties regarding the origination and characteristics of the

residential mortgage loans.

Although the

representations and warranties vary among investors, they typically cover ownership

of the loan, validity of the lien

securing the loan, the absence of delinquent taxes or liens against the property securing the

loan, compliance with loan

criteria set forth in the applicable agreement, compliance with applicable federal,

state, and local laws, among other

matters.

As of September 30, 2021, the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans,

which we have originated and sold,

but retained the servicing rights, was $256.4 million.

Although these loans are generally sold on a non-recourse basis, we

may be obligated to repurchase residential mortgage loans or reimburse investors for losses

incurred (make whole requests)

if a loan review reveals a potential breach of seller representations and

warranties.

Upon receipt of a repurchase or make

whole request, we work with investors to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution.

Repurchase and make whole requests

are typically reviewed on an individual loan by loan basis to validate the claims made by the

investor and to determine if a

contractually required repurchase or make whole event has occurred. We

seek to reduce and manage the risks of potential

repurchases, make whole requests, or other claims by mortgage loan investors

through our underwriting and quality

assurance practices and by servicing mortgage loans to meet investor and secondary

market standards.

The Company was not required to repurchase any loans during the first nine months

of 2021 as a result of representation

and warranty provisions contained in the Company’s

sale agreements with Fannie Mae, and had no pending repurchase or

make-whole requests at September 30, 2021.

We service all residential

mortgage loans originated and sold by us to Fannie Mae.

As servicer, our primary duties are to:

(1) collect payments due from borrowers;

(2) advance certain delinquent payments of principal and interest;

(3) maintain

and administer any hazard, title, or primary mortgage insurance policies relating to the

mortgage loans;

(4) maintain any

required escrow accounts for payment of taxes and insurance and administer

escrow payments;

and (5) foreclose on

defaulted mortgage loans or take other actions to mitigate the potential losses to investors

consistent with the agreements

governing our rights and duties as servicer.

The agreement under which we act as servicer generally specifies standard

of responsibility for actions taken by us in such

capacity and provides protection against expenses and liabilities incurred by us when acting

in compliance with the

respective servicing agreements.

However, if we commit a material breach of our obligations

as servicer, we may be

subject to termination if the breach is not cured within a specified period following notice.

The standards governing

servicing and the possible remedies for violations of such standards are determined by

servicing guides issued by Fannie

Mae as well as the contract provisions established between Fannie Mae and the Bank.

Remedies could include repurchase

of an affected loan.

Table of Contents

Although repurchase and make whole requests related to representation and

warranty provisions and servicing activities

have been limited to date, it is possible that requests to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse

investors for losses incurred

(make whole requests) may increase in frequency if investors more aggressively pursue

all means of recovering losses on

their purchased loans.

As of September 30, 2021, we do not believe that this exposure is material due to the historical

level

of repurchase requests and loss trends, in addition to the fact that 99% of our residential

mortgage loans serviced for Fannie

Mae were current as of such date.

We maintain ongoing communications

with our investors and will continue to evaluate

this exposure by monitoring the level and number of repurchase requests as well as the delinquency

rates in our investor

portfolios.

Section 4021 of the CARES Act allows borrowers under 1-4 family residential

mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae to

request forbearance to the servicer after affirming that such borrower

is experiencing financial hardships during the

COVID-19 emergency.

Such forbearance will be up to 180 days, subject to up to a 180 day extension.

During forbearance,

no fees, penalties or interest shall be charged beyond those applicable

if all contractual payments were fully and timely

paid.

Except for vacant or abandoned properties, Fannie Mae servicers may not initiate foreclosures

on similar procedures

or related evictions or sales until December 31, 2020.

The Bank sells mortgage loans to Fannie Mae and services these on

an actual/actual basis. As a result, the Bank is not obligated to make any advances to Fannie

Mae on principal and interest

on such mortgage loans where the borrower is entitled to forbearance.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented

herein have been prepared in

accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry which require the

measurement of financial position

and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in

the relative purchasing power of

money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets

and liabilities of a financial

institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial

institution’s

performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. As a result of government

monetary policies and fiscal stimulus,

as well as demand for goods ad services and COVID-19 pandemic related supply chain

disruptions, inflation has increased

during 2021.

This may result in increased noninterest operating expenses and building costs.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

The following ASUs have been issued by the FASB

but are not yet effective.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial

Instruments;

Information about these pronouncements is described in more detail below.

ASU 2016-13,

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic

326): - Measurement of Credit

Losses on Financial

Instruments

, amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and

available for sale debt

securities.

For assets held at amortized cost basis, the new standard eliminates the probable initial recognition

threshold in

current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected

credit losses using a broader

range of information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts assessing the

collectability of cash flows. The

allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized

cost basis of the financial assets to

present the net amount expected to be collected.

For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a

manner similar to current GAAP,

however the new standard will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance

rather than as a write-down.

The new guidance affects entities holding financial assets and

net investment in leases that are

not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect

loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net

investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables,

and any other financial assets not

excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.

For public business entities, the new guidance was

originally effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019.

The Company has

developed an implementation team that is following a general timeline.

The team has been working with an advisory

consultant, with whom a third-party software license has been purchased.

The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates

the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact the Company’s

consolidated financial statements, in particular

the level of the reserve for credit losses.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact and

expects that portfolio composition and economic conditions at the time of adoption

will be a factor.

On October 16, 2019,

the FASB approved

a previously issued proposal granting smaller reporting companies a postponement of the required

implementation date for ASU 2016-13.

The Company will now be required to implement the new standard in January

2023, with early adoption permitted in any period prior to that date.

– Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

(GAAP), this quarterly

report on Form 10-Q includes certain designated net interest income amounts

presented on a tax-equivalent basis, a non-

GAAP financial measure, including the presentation and calculation of the efficiency

ratio.

The Company believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent

basis provides comparability of net

interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability

within the industry. Although the

Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’

understanding of its business and performance,

these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered

an alternative to GAAP.

The reconciliations

of these non-

GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial

measures are presented below.

materially affect, the Company’s

internal control over financial

reporting.
