ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

CSB Bancorp, Inc. (“CSB”), is a registered financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1991. The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (the “Bank”), an Ohio banking corporation chartered in 1879, is a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, and its deposits are insured up to the maximum amount provided by law by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The primary regulators of the Bank are the Federal Reserve Board and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. CSB Investment Services, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“CSB Investment”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB that is licensed to engage in the business of insurance in the State of Ohio. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, CSB and its subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Company.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are not statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate”, “estimates”, “may”, “feels”, “expects”, “believes”, “plans”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include: (i) projections of income or expense, earnings per share, the payment or non-payment of dividends, capital structure, and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans and objectives of the Company and of its management or Board of Directors, including those relating to products or services; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations. While the Company believes that the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are reasonable, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or alter any statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Business Overview and Lending Activities

CSB operates primarily through the Bank and CSB Investment, providing a wide range of banking, trust, financial, and brokerage services to corporate, institutional, and individual customers throughout northeast Ohio. The Bank provides retail and commercial banking services to its customers, including checking and savings accounts, time deposits, IRAs, safe deposit facilities, personal loans, commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans, night depository facilities, brokerage, and trust services.

The Bank provides residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loans to customers located primarily in Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, Wayne, and portions of surrounding counties in Ohio. The Bank’s market area has historically exhibited relatively stable economic conditions. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic shutdown of nonessential businesses in March of 2020, economic activity in the Company’s market area slowed during the second quarter of 2020. As the year continued, economic stimulus and the reopening of businesses led to an increase in economic activity in the second half of the year.   Reported unemployment levels in December 2020 ranged from 2.7% to 5.2% in the four primary counties served by the Bank. These levels increased slightly from December 2019 in three of the four counties served by the Bank apart from Holmes County where the unemployment rate decreased slightly compared to 2019. Labor demand increased modestly in some sectors not heavily affected by the pandemic and wage pressures have elevated somewhat. The local housing market continues to be strong with supply still relatively tight. Construction costs remain high as some supply chain disruptions have contributed to the increase.

Certain risks are involved in providing loans, including, but not limited to, the borrowers’ ability and willingness to repay the debt. Before the Bank extends a new loan or renews an existing loan to a customer, these risks are assessed through a review of the borrower’s past and current credit history, the collateral being used to secure the transaction if any, and other factors. For all commercial loan relationships greater than $500,000 the Bank’s internal credit department performs an annual risk rating review. In addition to this review, an independent, outside loan review firm is engaged to review a sample of watch list and adversely classified credits over $250,000 and a sample of commercial loan relationships greater than $250,000. The outside loan review will also assess management’s current credit grades and provide commentary with regard to assigned ratings and the need for a credit to be classified as a troubled debt restructuring, as well as assess management’s specific loan loss reserves for loans included in their sample that are considered to be impaired. In addition, any loan over $100,000 identified as a problem credit by management and/or the external loan review consultants is assigned to the Bank’s “loan watch list,” has a written action plan created specifically for the loan relationship, and is subject to ongoing review at least quarterly by the Bank’s credit department and the assigned loan officer to ensure appropriate action is taken if deterioration continues.

Commercial loan rates are variable and fixed and include operating lines of credit and term loans made to businesses, primarily based on their ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the business. Business assets such as equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory typically secure such loans. When the borrower is not an individual, the Bank generally obtains the personal guarantee of the business owner. These loans typically involve larger loan balances, are generally dependent on the cash flow of the business, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the general economy or in a specific industry. Management reviews the borrower’s cash flows when deciding whether to grant the credit in order to evaluate whether estimated future cash flows will be adequate to service principal and interest of the new obligation in addition to existing obligations.

Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by borrower-occupied business real estate and are dependent on the ability of the related business to generate adequate cash flow to service the debt. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less. Commercial construction loans are secured by commercial real estate and in most cases the Bank also provides the permanent financing. The Bank monitors advances and the maximum loan to value ratio is typically limited to the lesser of 90% of cost or 80% of appraisal value. Management performs much of the same analysis when deciding whether to grant a commercial real estate loan as when deciding whether to grant a commercial loan.

Residential real estate loans carry both fixed and variable rates and are secured by the borrower’s residence. Such loans are made based on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income. Management assesses the borrower’s ability and willingness to repay the debt through review of credit history and ratings, verification of employment and other income, review of debt-to-income ratios, and other measures of repayment ability. The Bank generally makes these loans in amounts of 80% or less of the value of the collateral or up to 95% of collateral value with private mortgage insurance. An appraisal from a qualified real estate appraiser or an evaluation based on comparable market values is obtained for substantially all loans secured by real estate. Residential construction loans are secured by residential real estate that generally will be occupied by the borrower upon completion. The Bank usually makes the permanent loan at the end of the construction phase. Generally, construction loans are made in amounts of 80% or less of the value of the as-completed collateral.

Home equity lines of credit are made to individuals and are secured by second or first mortgages on the borrower’s residence. Loans are based on similar credit and appraisal criteria used for residential real estate loans; however, loans up to 90% of the value of the property may be approved for borrowers with excellent credit histories. These loans typically bear interest at variable rates and require minimum monthly payments of the accrued interest.

Installment loans to individuals include unsecured loans and loans secured by recreational vehicles (“RV’s”), automobiles, and other consumer assets. Consumer loans for the purchase of new RV’s and new automobiles generally do not exceed 125% of Dealer Invoice on RV’s or 110% of the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of an automobile. Loans for used RV’s and automobiles do not exceed 120% of the “clean trade-in value” as reported in the current “NADA” used guides. Overdraft protection loans are unsecured personal lines of credit to individuals who have demonstrated good credit character with reasonably assured sources of income and satisfactory credit histories. Consumer loans generally involve more risk than residential mortgage loans because of the type and nature of collateral and, in certain types of consumer loans, absence of collateral. Since these loans are generally repaid from ordinary income of the individual or family unit, repayment may be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, ill health, or by a general decline in economic conditions. The Bank assesses the borrower’s ability and willingness to repay through a review of credit history, credit ratings, debt-to-income ratios, and other measures of repayment ability.

While CSB’s chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various financial products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. For a discussion of the Company’s financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, see the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements found in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employees

On December 31, 2020, the Company had 187 employees, 159 of which were employed on a full-time basis. CSB has no separate employees not also employed by the Bank. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employees are provided benefit programs, some of which are contributory. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

Competition

The financial services industry is highly competitive. In its primary market area of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, Wayne and surrounding Ohio counties, the Bank competes for new deposit dollars and loans with other commercial banks, including both large regional banks and smaller community banks, as well as savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, investment companies, private lenders, and technology-based providers of financial services (sometimes referred to as “fintech” companies).

Competition within the financial service industry continues to increase as a result of mergers between, and expansion of, financial service providers within and outside of the Company’s primary market areas. In addition, securities firms and insurance companies that have elected to become financial holding companies may acquire commercial banks and other financial institutions, which can create additional competitive pressure.

Management believes the primary factors in competing for loans and deposits are interest rates, availability of services, quality of customer service, convenience, and name recognition. Some of the Company’s competitors may have greater resources and as such, higher lending limits, or fewer regulatory constraints and lower cost structures, all of which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to compete.

Supervision and Regulation of CSB and the Bank

CSB and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state regulatory agencies. The regulation of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries by bank regulatory agencies is intended primarily for the protection of consumers, depositors, borrowers, the deposit insurance funds of the FDIC (the “DIF”), and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection of shareholders.

CSB is a bank holding company that has registered with the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) as a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”), a qualifying bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature and not otherwise permissible for a bank holding company, if: (i) the holding company is "well managed" and "well capitalized" and (ii) each of its subsidiary banks (a) is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 prompt corrective action provisions, (b) is well managed, and (c) has at least a "satisfactory" rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”).  CSB has been a financial holding company since 2005. No regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the FRB. The financial holding company and its subsidiaries must continue to meet the above described requirements in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without being subjected to regulatory action or restriction, which could include divestiture of the subsidiary or subsidiaries.

GLBA defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing, and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking; and activities that the FRB has determined to be closely related to banking. CSB is also subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, and the regulations rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as administered by the SEC.

The Bank, as an Ohio state-chartered bank and member of the Federal Reserve System, is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the FRB. Because the FDIC insures its deposits, the Bank is also subject to certain FDIC regulations. The FDIC is an independent federal agency which insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally-insured banks and savings associations, and safeguards the safety and soundness of the financial institution industry. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the DIF, and the Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. In addition, the Bank is subject to regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), which was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).

The earnings, dividends, and other aspects of the operations and activities of CSB and the Bank are affected by state and federal laws and regulations, and by policies of various regulatory authorities. These policies include, for example, statutory maximum lending rates, requirements on maintenance of reserves against deposits, domestic monetary policies of the FRB, United States fiscal and economic policies, international currency regulations, and monetary policies, certain restrictions on relationships with many phases of the securities business, and capital adequacy, and liquidity restraints.

The following information describes selected federal and state statutory and regulatory provisions that have, or could have, a material impact on the Company’s business. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the particular statutory or regulatory provisions contained or referenced herein.

Regulation of Bank Holding Companies

As a financial holding company, CSB’s activities are subject to regulation by the FRB. CSB is subject to regular examinations by the FRB and is required to file reports and such additional information as the FRB may require.

The FRB has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders, and require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries (including subsidiary banks). The FRB may initiate enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations, and for unsafe and unsound practices. Under FRB policies, a bank holding company is expected

to act as a “source of strength” to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support those subsidiary banks. Under this policy, the FRB may require a bank holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank.

The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the FRB in cases where a bank holding company proposes to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank that is not already majority-owned by it, acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or another financial or bank holding company, or merge or consolidate with any other financial or bank holding company.

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act

On May 25, 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”) was signed into law. The Regulatory Relief Act repealed or modified certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and eased regulations on all but the largest banks (those with consolidated assets in excess of $250 billion). Bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $100 billion, including CSB, are no longer subject to enhanced prudential standards. The Regulatory Relief Act also relieves bank holding companies and banks with consolidated assets of less than $100 billion, including CSB, from certain record-keeping, reporting and disclosure requirements. Certain other regulatory requirements applied only to banks with assets in excess of $50 billion and so did not apply to CSB even before the enactment of the Regulatory Relief Act.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020

In response to the novel COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020, as amended (the “CARES Act”), was signed into law on March 27, 2020, to provide national emergency economic relief measures. Many of the CARES Act’s programs are dependent upon the direct involvement of U.S. financial institutions, such as CSB, and have been implemented through rules and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury, the FRB, and other federal banking agencies, including those with direct supervisory jurisdiction over CSB. Furthermore, as COVID-19 evolves, federal regulatory authorities continue to issue additional guidance with respect to the implementation, lifecycle, and eligibility requirements for the various CARES Act programs as well as industry-specific recovery procedures for COVID-19. In addition, it is possible that Congress will enact supplementary COVID-19 response legislation, including amendments to the CARES Act or new bills comparable in scope to the CARES Act. For example, on December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “CAA”) was signed into law, which, among other things, allowed certain banks to temporarily postpone implementation of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model (accounting standard), which is described below. CSB is continuing to assess the impact of the CARES Act and other statutes, regulations and supervisory guidance related to COVID-19.

The CARES Act amended the loan program of the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), in which CSB participates, to create a guaranteed, unsecured loan program, the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), to fund operational costs of eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons during COVID-19. In June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was enacted, which, among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. Shortly thereafter, and due to the evolving impact of COVID-19, additional legislation was enacted authorizing the SBA to resume accepting PPP applications on July 6, 2020 and extending the PPP application deadline to August 8, 2020. As a participating lender in the PPP, CSB continues to monitor legislative, regulatory, and supervisory developments related thereto. On September 29, 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that neutralizes the regulatory capital and liquidity coverage ratio effects of participating in certain COVID-19 liquidity facilities due to the fact there is no credit or market risk in association with exposures pledged to such facilities. As a result, the final rule supports the flow of credit to households and businesses affected by COVID-19.

The CARES Act encouraged the FRB, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, to establish or implement various programs to help mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19 on midsize businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities. In April 2020, the FRB established the Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) to implement certain of these recommendations. The MSLP supported lending to small and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the onset of COVID-19. On November 19, 2020, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicated that he would not reauthorize extending the MSLP past December 31, 2020. However, the FRB extended the program to January 8, 2021, in order to process loans that were submitted on or before December 14, 2020. The program ended on January 8, 2021.

Current Expected Credit Loss Model

In December 2018, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule to address regulatory treatment of credit loss allowances under CECL.  The rule revised the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital rules to identify which credit loss allowances under the CECL model are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital and to provide banking organizations the option to phase in over three years the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the CECL model. Concurrent with the enactment of the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that delayed the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. The interim final rule provided banking organizations that implemented CECL prior to the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. On August 26, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule that made certain technical changes to the interim final rule, including expanding the pool of eligible institutions.

Regulatory Capital

The FRB adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and state member banks, designed to absorb losses. The guidelines provide a systematic analytical framework, which makes regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking

organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures expressly into account in evaluating capital adequacy and incentivizes holding liquid, low-risk assets. Capital levels as measured by these standards are also used to categorize financial institutions for purposes of certain Prompt Corrective Action regulatory provisions.

In July 2013, the United States banking regulators issued new capital rules applicable to smaller banking organizations which also implement certain of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Basel III Capital Rules”).  Community banking organizations, including CSB, began transitioning to the new rules on January 1, 2015. The new minimum capital requirements became effective on January 1, 2015; while a new capital conservation buffer and deductions from common equity capital phased in from January 1, 2016 through January 1, 2019, and most deductions from common equity tier 1 capital phased in from January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019.

The Basel III Capital Rules include (i) a minimum common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, (ii) a minimum tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, (iii) a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0%, and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.

Common equity for the common equity tier 1 capital ratio includes common stock (plus related surplus) and retained earnings, plus limited amounts of minority interests in the form of common stock, less the majority of certain regulatory deductions.

Tier 1 capital includes common equity as defined for the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, plus certain non-cumulative preferred stock and related surplus, cumulative preferred stock and related surplus, and trust preferred securities that have been grandfathered (but which are not permitted going forward), and limited amounts of minority interests in the form of additional tier 1 capital instruments, less certain deductions.

Tier 2 capital, which can be included in the total capital ratio, includes certain capital instruments (such as subordinated debt) and limited amounts of the allowance for loan and lease losses, subject to new eligibility criteria, less applicable deductions.

The deductions from common equity tier 1 capital include goodwill and other intangibles, certain deferred tax assets, mortgage-servicing assets above certain levels, gains on sale in connection with a securitization, investments in a banking organization’s own capital instruments, and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions (above certain levels).

Under the guidelines, capital is compared to the relative risk related to the balance sheet. To derive the risk included in the balance sheet, one of several risk weights is applied to different balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets, primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules place restrictions on the payment of capital distributions, including dividends, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers in the event the Company does not hold a capital conservation buffer of greater than 2.5% composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements, or if its eligible retained income is negative in that quarter and its capital conservation buffer ratio was less than 2.5% at the beginning of the quarter. Pursuant to the FRB’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy statement (“SBHC Policy”), a bank holding company with assets of less than $1 billion and meeting certain other requirements is not required to comply with the consolidated capital requirements until such company exceeds $1 billion in assets or is otherwise determined by the FRB not to qualify as a small bank holding company. On December 31, 2020, CSB was deemed to be a small bank holding company under the SBHC Policy and was not required to comply with the FRB’s regulatory capital requirements. The Bank, however, must comply with the new capital requirements.

The implementation of the Basel III Capital Rules did not have a material impact on CSB’s or the Bank’s capital ratios.

Prompt Corrective Action

The federal banking agencies have established a system of “prompt corrective action” to resolve certain of the problems of undercapitalized institutions. This system is based on five capital level categories for insured depository institutions: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized”, and “critically undercapitalized.”

The federal banking agencies may (or in some cases must) take certain supervisory actions depending upon a bank’s capital level. For example, the banking agencies must appoint a receiver or conservator for a bank within 90 days after it becomes “critically undercapitalized” unless the bank’s primary regulator determines, with the concurrence of the FDIC, that other action would better achieve regulatory purposes. Banking operations otherwise may be significantly affected depending on a bank’s capital category. For example, a bank that is not “well capitalized” generally is prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market, and the holding company of any undercapitalized depository institution must guarantee, in part, specific aspects of the bank’s capital plan for the plan to be acceptable.

In order to be “well-capitalized,” a bank must have a minimum common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%, and the bank must not be subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

As of December 31, 2020, the Bank met the ratio requirements in effect at that date to be deemed “well-capitalized.” See Note 13 – Regulatory Matters of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements located on page 50 of CSB’s 2020 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by

reference. Management of the Company believes the Bank also meets the capital requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized” under the new guidelines.

Deposit Insurance

Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the DIF, and the Bank is assessed quarterly deposit insurance premiums to maintain the DIF. Insurance premiums for each insured institution are determined based upon the institution’s capital level and supervisory rating provided to the FDIC by the institution’s primary federal regulator and other information deemed by the FDIC to be relevant to the risk posed to the Deposit Insurance Fund by the institution. The assessment rate is then applied to the amount of the institution’s assessment base to determine the institution’s insurance premium. The deposit insurance assessment base is calculated on average assets less average tangible equity.

The FDIC assesses a quarterly deposit insurance premium on each insured institution based on risk characteristics of the insured institution and may also impose special assessments in emergency situations.  The premiums fund the DIF.  Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC has established 2.0% as the designated reserve ratio ("DRR"), which is the amount in the DIF as a percentage of all DIF insured deposits. In March 2016, the FDIC adopted final rules designed to meet the statutory minimum DRR of 1.35% by September 30, 2020, the deadline imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to offset the effect on insured institutions with assets of less than $10 billion of the increase in the statutory minimum DRR to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15%.  Although the FDIC's rules reduced assessment rates on all banks, they imposed a surcharge on banks with assets of $10 billion or more to be paid until the DRR reached 1.35%. The DRR reached 1.35% on September 30, 2018. As a result, the previous surcharge imposed on banks with assets of $10 billion or more was lifted. In addition, preliminary assessment credits were determined by the FDIC for banks with assets of less than $10 billion for the portion of their assessments that contributed to the increase of the DRR to 1.35%. On June 30, 2019, the DRR reached 1.40%, and the FDIC applied credits for banks with assets of less than $10 billion ("small bank credits") beginning September 30, 2019. The FDIC will continue to apply small bank credits so long as the DRR is at least 1.35%. The FDIC rules further changed the method of determining risk-based assessment rates for established banks with less than $10 billion in assets to better ensure that banks taking on greater risks pay more for deposit insurance than banks that take on less risk.

As insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, federally insured institutions. It also may prohibit any federally insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC also has the authority to take enforcement actions against insured institutions. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC or written agreement entered into with the FDIC.

The management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition, or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Limits on Dividends and Other Payments

There are various legal limitations on the extent to which subsidiary banks may finance or otherwise supply funds to their parent holding companies. Under applicable federal and state laws, subsidiary banks may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, make loans or extensions of credit to, or investments in the securities of, their bank holding companies. Subsidiary banks are also subject to collateral security requirements for any loan or extension of credit permitted by such exceptions.

Payments of dividends by the Bank are limited by applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The ability of CSB to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank. However, the FRB expects CSB to serve as a source of strength for the Bank and may require CSB to retain capital for further investment in the Bank, rather than pay dividends to CSB shareholders. Payment of dividends by the Bank may be restricted at any time at the discretion of its applicable regulatory authorities if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. These provisions could have the effect of limiting CSB’s ability to pay dividends on its common shares.

FRB policy requires CSB to provide notice to the FRB in advance of the payment of a dividend to CSB’s shareholders under certain circumstances and states that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. The FRB may disapprove of a dividend payment if the FRB determines that the payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations

Banks are subject to regular examination to ensure compliance with federal statutes and regulations applicable to their business, including consumer protection statutes and implementing regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has extensive regulatory and enforcement powers over consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has adopted numerous rules with respect to consumer protection

laws, amending some existing regulations and adopting new ones, and has commenced enforcement actions. The following are just some of the consumer protection laws applicable to the Bank:

•	Community Reinvestment Act of 1977: imposes a continuing and affirmative obligation to fulfill the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
•	Equal Credit Opportunity Act: prohibits discrimination in any credit transaction on the basis of any of various criteria.
---	---
•	Truth in Lending Act: requires that credit terms are disclosed in a manner that permits a consumer to understand and compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably.
---	---
•	Fair Housing Act: makes it unlawful for a lender to discriminate in its housing-related lending activities against any person on the basis of any of certain criteria.
---	---
•	Home Mortgage Disclosure Act: requires financial institutions to collect data that enables regulatory agencies to determine whether the financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of the communities in which they are located.
---	---
•	Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act: requires that lenders provide borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements and prohibits abusive practices that increase borrowers’ costs.
---	---
•	Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: requires financial institutions to establish policies and procedures to restrict the sharing of non-public customer data with non-affiliated parties and to protect customer information from unauthorized access.
---	---

The banking regulators also use their authority under the Federal Trade Commission Act to take supervisory or enforcement action with respect to unfair or deceptive acts or practices by banks that may not necessarily fall within the scope of specific banking or consumer finance law.

On July 22, 2020, the CFPB issued a final small dollar loan rule related to payday, vehicle title and certain high cost installment loans (the “Small Dollar Rule”) that modified a former rule that was issued in November 2013. Specifically, the Small Dollar Rule revokes provisions contained in the 2013 rule that: (i) provide that it is an unfair and abusive practice for a lender to make a covered short-term or longer-term balloon-payment loan, including payday and vehicle title loans, without reasonably determining that consumers have the ability to repay those loans according to their terms; (ii) prescribe mandatory underwriting requirements for making the ability-to-repay determination; (iii) exempt certain loans from mandatory underwriting requirements; and (iv) establish related definitions, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.

Separately, in May 2018, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) published guidance that encourages national banks and federal savings associations to offer responsible short-term, small-dollar installment loans with terms between two and twelve months and equal amortizing payments. Pursuant to the OCC’s guidance on this issue, banks are encouraged to offer these products in a manner that is consistent with sound risk management principles and clear, documented underwriting guidelines. Further, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance on May 20, 2020, to encourage banks, savings associations, and credit unions to offer responsible small-dollar loans to customers for consumer and small business purposes. The Small Dollar Rule did not have a material effect on CSB’s financial condition or results of operations on a consolidated basis in 2020.

Customer Privacy

Under the GLBA, federal banking agencies have adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require distribution of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to nonaffiliated third parties.

USA Patriot Act

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, as amended (the “Patriot Act”), and related regulations require regulated financial institutions to establish a program specifying procedures for obtaining identifying information from customers seeking to open new accounts and establish enhanced due diligence policies, procedures and controls designed to detect and report suspicious activity.

The Bank has established policies and procedures to be compliant with the requirements of the Patriot Act.

Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation

The United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and regimes, under authority of various laws, including designated foreign countries, nationals and others. OFAC publishes lists of specially designated targets and countries. CSB is responsible for, among other things, blocking accounts of, and transactions with, such targets and countries, prohibiting unlicensed trade and financial transactions with them and reporting blocked transactions after their occurrence. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious financial, legal and reputational consequences, including causing applicable bank regulatory authorities not to approve merger or acquisition transactions when regulatory approval is required or to prohibit such transactions even if approval is not required. Regulatory authorities have imposed cease and desist orders and civil money penalties against institutions found to be violating these obligations.

Cybersecurity

In March 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish several lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing Internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient

business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the financial institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the financial institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If CSB fails to observe the regulatory guidance, it could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.

In February 2018, the SEC published interpretive guidance to assist public companies in preparing disclosures about cybersecurity risks and incidents. These SEC guidelines, and any other regulatory guidance, are in addition to notification and disclosure requirements under state and federal banking law and regulations.

State regulators have also been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations. Recently, several states have adopted regulations requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs and providing detailed requirements with respect to these programs, including data encryption requirements. Many states have also recently implemented or modified their data breach notification and data privacy requirements. CSB expects this trend of state-level activity in those areas to continue and is continually monitoring developments in the states in which our customers are located.

In the ordinary course of business, CSB relies on electronic communications and information systems to conduct its operations and to store sensitive data. CSB employs an in-depth, layered, defensive approach that leverages people, processes and technology to manage and maintain cybersecurity controls. CSB employs a variety of preventative and detective tools to monitor, block, and provide alerts regarding suspicious activity, as well as to report on any suspected advanced persistent threats. Notwithstanding the strength of CSB’s defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated and increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. While to date, CSB has not detected a significant compromise, significant data loss or any material financial losses related to cybersecurity attacks, CSB’s systems and those of its customers and third-party service providers are under constant threat and it is possible that CSB could experience a significant event in the future. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of Internet banking, mobile banking and other technology-based products and services by us and our customers.

Effect of Environmental Regulation

Compliance with federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of CSB or its subsidiaries. CSB believes the nature of the operations of its subsidiaries has little, if any, environmental impact. CSB, therefore, anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future.

CSB believes its primary exposure to environmental risk is through the lending activities of the Bank. In cases where management believes environmental risk potentially exists, the Bank mitigates environmental risk exposure by requiring environmental site assessments at the time of loan origination to confirm collateral quality as to commercial real estate parcels posing higher than normal potential for environmental impact, as determined by reference to present and past uses of the subject property and adjacent sites.

Future Legislation

Various and significant legislation affecting financial institutions and the financial industry is from time to time adopted by the U.S. Congress and state legislatures, and regulatory agencies frequently adopt or amend regulations. Such legislation and regulation may continue to change banking laws and regulations and the operating environment of CSB and its subsidiaries in substantial and unpredictable ways, and could significantly increase or decrease costs of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among financial institutions. The nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions remains very unpredictable.

Total	$	56,468	$	142,550	$	215,781	$	414,799

The following is a schedule of fixed rate and variable rate commercial, commercial real estate and construction and land development loans due after one year from December 31, 2020.

(Dollars in thousands)	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
Total commercial, commercial real estate and construction and<br><br><br>land development loans due after one year	$	120,463	$	237,868

The following schedule summarizes nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans.

(Dollars in thousand)	2020		2019		2018		2017		2016
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis	$	4,448	$	4,298	$	3,155	$	6,081	$	1,449
Accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or<br><br><br>more as to interest or principal payments		49		241		174		441		235
Total	$	4,497	$	4,539	$	3,329	$	6,522	$	1,684

The policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status is to cease accruing interest on loans when management believes that collection of interest is doubtful, when commercial loans are past due as to principal and interest 90 days or more or when mortgage loans are past due as to principal and interest 120 days or more, except that in certain circumstances interest accruals are continued on loans deemed by management to be well-secured and in process of collection. In such cases, loans are individually evaluated in order to determine whether to continue income recognition after 90 days beyond the due date. When loans are placed on nonaccrual, any accrued interest is charged against interest income.

Information regarding impaired loans on December 31 is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		2018
Total recorded investment of impaired loans	$	6,352	$	6,071	$	3,860
Less portion for which no allowance for loan loss is allocated		5,151		5,483		3,122
Portion of impaired loan balance for which an allowance for<br><br><br>loan loss is allocated		1,201		588		738
Portion of allowance for loan losses allocated to the impaired<br><br><br>loan balance on December 31		30		34		101

For the year ended December 31, 2020, interest income recognized on impaired loans amounted to $119 thousand, while $354 thousand would have been recognized had the loans been performing under their contractual terms. For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest income recognized on impaired loans amounted to $134 thousand, while $316 thousand would have been recognized had the loans been performing under their contractual terms. For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest income recognized on impaired loans amounted to $113 thousand, while $371 thousand would have been recognized had the loans been performing under their contractual terms.

Impaired loans are comprised of commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans, and are carried at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans.

Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first-mortgage loans secured by one to four-family residences, residential construction loans, automobile loans, home equity loans, and second-mortgage loans. These consumer loans are included in nonaccrual and past due disclosures above as well as impaired loans when they become nonperforming. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows of the borrower’s business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

On December 31, 2020, no loans were identified for which management had serious doubts about the borrowers’ ability to comply with present loan repayment terms that are not included in the tables set forth above. On a monthly basis, the Company internally classifies certain loans based on various factors. On December 31, 2020, these amounts, including impaired and nonperforming loans, amounted to $32 million of substandard loans and $317 thousand doubtful loans.

As of December 31, 2020, there were no concentrations of loans greater than 10% of total loans that were not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in the loan portfolio table set forth above.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

Ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding for period		0.06	%		0.01	%		0.19	%		0.17	%		(0.03	)	%

The allowance for loan losses balance and provision charged to expense are determined by management based on periodic reviews of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, economic conditions, and various other circumstances subject to change over time. In making this judgment, management reviews selected large loans, as well as impaired loans, other delinquent, nonaccrual and problem loans, and loans to industries experiencing economic difficulties. The collectability of these loans is evaluated after considering current operating results and financial position of the borrower, estimated market value of collateral, guarantees and the Company’s collateral position versus other creditors. Judgments, which are necessarily subjective, as to the probability of loss and amount of such loss are formed on these loans, as well as other loans taken together.

The following schedule is a breakdown of the allowance for loan losses allocated by type of loan and related ratios. While management’s periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses may allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem-loan situations, the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us and our customers, employees, and third-party service providers, and the adverse impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects could be significant.

COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, increased unemployment levels, and decreased consumer confidence, generally. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. The pandemic could influence the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers are expected to draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Furthermore, the pandemic could affect the stability of our deposit base as well as our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, result in lost revenue and cause us to incur additional expenses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairments in future periods on the securities we hold as well as reductions in other comprehensive income.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our capital, liquidity, and other financial positions and on our business, results of operations, and prospects will depend on a number of evolving factors, including:

•	The duration, extent, and severity of the pandemic.  COVID-19 has not been contained and could affect significantly more households and businesses. The duration and severity of the pandemic continue to be impossible to predict.
•	The response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities.  Many of the actions taken by authorities have been directed at curtailing personal and business activity to contain COVID-19 while simultaneously deploying fiscal-and monetary-policy measures to assist in mitigating the adverse effects on individuals and businesses. These actions are not consistent across jurisdictions but, in general, have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity.
---	---
•	The effect on our customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers.  COVID-19 and its associated consequences and uncertainties may affect individuals, households, and businesses differently and unevenly. In the near-term if not longer, however, our credit, operational, and other risks are generally expected to increase.
---	---
•	The effect on economies and markets.  Whether the actions of governmental and nongovernmental authorities will be successful in mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 is unclear. National, regional, and local economies and markets could suffer lasting disruptions.
---	---
•	The success of hardship relief efforts to bridge the gap to reopening the economy.  The U.S. government has implemented programs to directly compensate individuals and grant or loan money to businesses in an effort to provide funding while the economy is shut down. Many banks, including the Bank, have implemented hardship relief programs that include payment deferral and short-term funding options. The success of these programs could mute the effect on the Company's credit losses, which may be difficult to determine.
---	---

The duration of these business interruptions and related impacts on our business and operations, which will depend on future developments, are uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The pandemic could cause us to experience higher credit losses in our lending portfolio, impairment of our goodwill and other financial assets, reduced demand for our products and services, and other negative impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and prospects. The cumulative effects of COVID-19 and the measures implemented by governments to combat the pandemic on mortgaged properties may cause borrowers to be unable to meet their payment obligations under mortgage loans that we hold and may result in significant losses.

Even after COVID-19 has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

A failure in or breach of the Company’s technology infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom the Company has relationships, could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, reputation, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operation.

The Company is very dependent upon the use of technology to operate its business. The Company processes a large number of transactions every day and maintains and transmits confidential client and employee information through its technology systems.

The Company’s dependence upon automated systems to record and process the Bank’s transactions poses the risk that technical system flaws, employee errors, tampering or manipulation of those systems, or attacks by third parties will result in losses and may be difficult to detect. The Company’s inability to use these information systems at critical points in time could unfavorably impact the timeliness and efficiency of its business operations. In recent years, some banks have experienced denial of service attacks in which individuals or organizations flood the bank’s website with extraordinarily high volumes of traffic, with the goal and effect of disrupting the ability of the bank to process transactions. The Company could also be adversely affected if one of its employees causes a significant operational break-down or failure, either as a result of

human error or where an individual purposefully sabotages or fraudulently manipulates the Company’s operations or systems. The Company is further exposed to the risk that third-party service providers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations or will be affected by the same risks as the Bank has. These disruptions may interfere with service to the Bank’s customers, cause additional regulatory scrutiny, and result in a financial loss or liability. The Company is also at risk of the impact of natural disasters, terrorism, and international hostilities on its systems or for the effects of outages or other failures involving power or communications systems operated by others.

Employees could engage in fraudulent, improper or unauthorized activities on behalf of clients, or improper use of confidential information. The Company may not be able to prevent employee errors or misconduct, and the precautions taken to detect this type of activity might not be effective in all cases. Employee errors or misconduct could subject the Company to civil claims for negligence or regulatory enforcement actions, including fines and restrictions on the Company’s business.

In addition, there have been instances where financial institutions have been victims of fraudulent activity in which criminals pose as customers to initiate wire and automated clearinghouse transactions out of customer accounts. The recent massive breach of the systems of a credit bureau presents additional threats as criminals now have more information about a larger portion of the country’s population than past breaches have involved, which could be used by criminals to pose as customers initiating transfers of money from customer accounts. Although the Company has policies and procedures in place to verify the authenticity of the Company’s customers, it cannot assure that such policies and procedures will prevent all fraudulent transfers. Such activity can result in financial liability and harm to the Company’s reputation.

Management cannot be certain that the security controls it has adopted will prevent unauthorized access to its computer systems or those of its third-party service providers, whom it requires to maintain similar controls. A security breach of the computer systems and loss of confidential information, such as customer account numbers or personal information could result in a loss of customers’ confidence and, thus, loss of business. In addition, unauthorized access to or use of sensitive data could subject the Company to litigation, liability, and costs to prevent future occurrences.

Further, the Company may be affected by data breaches at retailers and other third parties who participate in data interchanges with the Company and its customers that involve the theft of customer credit and debit card data, which may include the theft of debit card PIN numbers and commercial card information used to make purchases at such retailers and other third parties. Such data breaches could result in the Company incurring significant expenses to reissue debit cards and cover losses, which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s assets at risk for cyber-attacks include financial assets and non-public information belonging to customers. The Company uses several third-party vendors who have access to the Company’s assets via electronic media. Certain cyber security risks arise due to this access, including cyber espionage, blackmail, ransom, and theft. As cyber and other data security threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify and enhance its protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.

Technology and other changes are allowing parties to utilize alternative methods to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks. Consumers can now maintain funds in brokerage accounts or mutual funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits. Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Strong competition within the market in which the Company operates could reduce its ability to attract and retain business.

Competition in the financial services industry is intense, as the Company competes with banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, securities dealers, finance and insurance companies, mortgage brokers, and investment advisors. As a result of their size and ability to achieve economies of scale, certain of the Company’s competitors offer a broader range of products and services, or in some cases a lower cost operating model, than the Company can offer. The OCC has announced that it will accept applications for national bank charters from nondepository financial technology companies to engage in banking activities. In addition, the Company’s ability to achieve its financial objectives will depend on its ability to deliver or expand product delivery systems and technology required by customers.

Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information whether through a breach of the Company’s computer systems or otherwise, could severely harm the Company’s business.

As part of the Company’s business, it collects, processes, and retains sensitive and confidential client and customer information on behalf of the Company’s subsidiaries and other third parties. Despite the security measures the Company has in place, its facilities and systems, and those of the Company’s third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information, whether by the Company or by its vendors, could severely damage the

Company’s reputation, cause a loss of customer confidence, expose it to risks of litigation and liability, or disrupt the Company’s operations and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company may not be able to adapt to technological change.

The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers while reducing costs. The Company’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address customer needs by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in its operations. The Company may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological changes affecting the financial services industry could negatively affect its growth, revenue, and profit.

The Company may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.

The Company’s success depends, in large part, on the ability to attract and retain key people. Succession planning includes the continuity of both the Board of Directors and the management team. Competition for the best people in most activities in which the Company engages can be intense, and it may not be able to attract, hire, or retain the people the Company wants or needs. In order to attract and retain qualified employees, the Company must compensate them at market levels. If the Company is unable to continue to attract and retain qualified employees or do so at rates necessary to maintain the Company’s competitive position, the Company’s performance could suffer, and, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operation.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk could adversely affect its earnings and financial condition.

Credit risk is the risk of losing principal and interest income because borrowers fail to repay loans. The Company’s earnings may be negatively impacted if it fails to manage credit risk, as the origination of loans is an integral part of the Company’s business. Factors which may affect the ability of borrowers to repay loans include a slowing of the local economy in which the Company operates, a downturn in one or more business sectors in which the Company’s customers operate, or a rapid increase in interest rates. All the Company’s loan portfolios, particularly commercial and industrial loans may be affected by the impact of higher interest rates. There has been some price appreciation in the housing market across the Company’s footprint, reflecting improved sales and decreased inventories of houses to be sold. A return to further declines in home values and reduced levels of home sales in the Company’s market may have a negative effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operation.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses may be insufficient.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover current, probable loan losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of loans. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans, and performance of customers relative to their financial obligations with the Company. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond the Company’s control and these losses may exceed current estimates. The Company cannot fully predict the amount, timing of losses, or whether the loss allowance will be adequate in the future. If the Company’s assumptions prove to be incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio, resulting in additions to the allowance. Excessive loan losses and significant additions to the Company’s allowance for loan losses could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any such increase in the Company’s allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by regulatory authorities might have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) finalized its guidance eliminating the probable recognition threshold for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Update would require financial assets be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Under this current expected credit loss model (“CECL”), an entity would record at the time of origination, as an allowance, its estimate of credit losses expected throughout the life of the loan as opposed to the current practice of recording losses when it is probable that a loss event has occurred. The Update for Financial Instruments-Credit Losses is required January 1, 2023. The guidance may require the Company to maintain a larger allowance for loan losses in the future than existing guidance currently requires.

The Company has significant exposure to risks associated with commercial and commercial real estate loans.

As of December 31, 2020, approximately 68% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial, commercial real estate, and construction loans. These loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than residential mortgage or consumer loans. Included in the commercial loan category on December 31, 2020 were $70.1 million of PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the SBA. The repayment of these loans often depends on the successful operation of a business. These loans are more likely to be adversely affected by weak conditions in the economy. Also, the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, indicating higher potential losses on an individual loan basis. The deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans and a reduction in interest income. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, both of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition,

and results of operations. If the Bank forecloses on collateral property and owns the underlying real estate, the Bank may be subject to the increased costs associated with the ownership of real property, resulting in reduced revenue.

The Bank may have to foreclose on collateral property to protect its investment and may thereafter own and operate such property, in which case it will be exposed to the risks inherent in the ownership of real estate. The amount that the Bank, as a mortgagee, may realize after a default is dependent upon factors outside of the Bank’s control, including, but not limited to: (i) general or local economic conditions: (ii) neighborhood values; (iii) interest rates; (iv) real estate tax rates; (v) operating expenses of the mortgaged properties; (vi) supply of and demand for rental units or properties; (vii) ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of the properties; (viii) zoning laws; (ix) governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies; and (x) acts of God. Certain expenditures associated with the ownership of real estate, principally real estate taxes and maintenance costs, may adversely affect the income from the real estate. Therefore, the cost of operating a real property may exceed the rental income earned from such property, and the Bank may have to advance funds in order to protect its investment, or the Bank may be required to dispose of the real property at a loss. The Bank may also acquire properties with hazardous substances that must be removed or remediated, the costs of which could be substantial, and the Bank may not be able to recover such costs from the responsible parties. The foregoing expenditures and costs could adversely affect the Company’s ability to generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.

The Company is subject to liquidity risk.

The Company requires liquidity to extend credit and repay liabilities on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. The Company’s access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance its activities or on terms that are acceptable to it could be impaired by factors that affect it specifically or the financial services industry, or general economy. Factors that could reduce its access to liquidity sources include a downturn in the north central Ohio market, difficult credit markets, aggressive competitor actions due to liquidity needs, or adverse regulatory actions. The Company’s access to deposits may also be affected by the liquidity needs of its depositors. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its supply of deposits from consumer and commercial customers which are payable on demand or upon several days’ notice, while by comparison, a substantial portion of its assets are loans, which cannot be called or sold in the same time frame. The Company historically has been able to replace maturing deposits and advances as necessary, but it might not be able to readily replace such funds in the future, if a large number of its depositors sought to withdraw their accounts, regardless of the reason. A failure to maintain adequate liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Company is at risk of increased losses from fraud.

Criminals are committing fraud at an increasing rate and are using more sophisticated techniques.  In some cases, these individuals are part of larger criminal rings, which allow them to be more effective.  Such fraudulent activity has taken many forms, ranging from debit card fraud, check fraud, mechanical devices attached to ATM machines, social engineering and phishing attacks to obtain personal information, or impersonation of clients through the use of falsified or stolen credentials.  Additionally, an individual or business entity may properly identify itself, yet seek to establish a business relationship for the purpose of perpetrating fraud.  An emerging type of fraud even involves the creation of synthetic identification in which fraudsters "create" individuals for the purpose of perpetrating fraud.  Further, in addition to fraud committed directly against the Company, it may suffer losses as a result of fraudulent activity committed against third parties.  Increased deployment of technologies, such as chip card technology, defray and reduce certain aspects of fraud; however, criminals are turning to other sources to steal personally identifiable information, from unaffiliated healthcare providers and government entities, in order to impersonate the consumer and thereby commit fraud.

The Company may not be able to successfully implement planned growth as part of its business strategy and may incur expenses and risks related to such growth efforts.

The Company’s ability to grow successfully will depend on a variety of factors, including the continued availability of desirable business opportunities. There can be no assurance when or if such growth opportunities will be available.

During the past decade, the Company’s growth has been accomplished through a combination of organic growth, de novo branching, and acquisitions. The Company may acquire other financial institutions or parts of institutions in the future, open new branches, and consider new lines of business and new products or services. Such expansions of its business may involve a number of expenses and risks, generally not attendant with organic growth efforts. Such expenses and risks include:

•	The time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions or new products or services;
•	The potential inaccuracy of estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operation management and market risk with respect to the target institutions;
---	---
•	The time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring local management and opening new offices, and the delay between commencing these activities and the generation of profits from the expansion;
---	---
•	The Company’s ability to finance an acquisition or other expansion and the possible dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders;
---	---
•	The diversion of management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction and the integration of the operations and personnel of the combining businesses;
---	---
•	Entry into unfamiliar markets;
---	---
•	The possible failure of the introduction of new products and services into the Company’s existing business;
---	---
•	The incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and possible adverse short-term effects on the Company’s results of operations; and
---	---
•	The risk of loss of key employees and customers.
---	---

Failure to manage the Company’s growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, future prospects, financial condition, or results of operations and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to successfully implement its business strategy.

The Company may need to raise capital in the future, but capital may not be available when needed or at acceptable terms.

Federal and state banking regulators require CSB and the Bank to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future to support its business or to finance acquisitions, if any, or the Company may otherwise elect to raise additional capital in anticipation of future growth opportunities

The Company’s ability to raise additional capital for CSB’s or the Bank’s needs will depend on conditions at that time in the capital markets, overall economic conditions, CSB’s financial performance and condition, and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control. There is no assurance that, if needed, CSB will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all. An inability to raise additional capital may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to expand operations, and on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

The Bank may be required to repurchase loans it has sold or indemnify loan purchasers under the terms of the sale agreements, which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition.

When the Bank sells a mortgage loan, it agrees to repurchase or substitute a mortgage loan if it is later found to have breached any representation or warranty the Bank made about the loan or if the borrower is later found to have committed fraud in connection with the origination of the loan. While the Bank has underwriting policies and procedures designed to avoid breaches of representations and warranties as well as borrower fraud, the Bank cannot be sure that no breach or fraud will ever occur. Required repurchases, substitutions, or indemnifications could have an adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Economic and Market Conditions

Difficult market conditions and economic trends could adversely affect the financial services industry and the Company’s business.

Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply, pandemic conditions, and other factors beyond the Company’s control may adversely affect asset quality, deposit levels, and loan demand and therefore, the Company’s earnings. Because the Company has a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral and the Company’s ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on the Company’s earnings. If during a period of reduced real estate values, the Company is required to liquidate the collateral securing loans to satisfy the debt, or to increase its allowance for loan losses, it could materially reduce the Company’s profitability and adversely affect its financial condition. The substantial majority of the Company’s loans are to individuals and businesses located in Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, Wayne and surrounding counties in Ohio. Consequently, significant declines in north central Ohio real estate values could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect income and financial condition.

The Company’s results of operation and financial condition are substantially dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned from loans and investments and interest paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings. Market interest rates are largely beyond the Company’s control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular the FRB, as well as competitive factors. Changes in interest rates will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the level of prepayments on the Company’s loans and investments, and the receipt of payments on mortgage-backed securities, resulting in fluctuations of income and cash flow. Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of loans, securities, mortgage servicing rights, and assets under management. Although fluctuations in market interest rates are neither completely predictable nor controllable, the Company’s Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meets regularly to monitor the Company’s interest rate sensitivity position and oversee the Company’s financial risk management by establishing policies and operating limits. Rising interest rates may adversely affect the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on loans and may lead to an increase in nonperforming assets and a reduction of interest income recognized. The Board reviews interest rate conditions monthly and management maintains continuous surveillance of interest rate risk exposures. Fixed rate investment securities will lose value during rising rates and certain investment securities, notably mortgage-backed securities will experience a decrease in in prepayments of principal and interest, which will extend their maturity. For more information, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which summarizes the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk.

A transition away from LIBOR as a reference rate for financial contracts could negatively affect the Company’s income and expenses and the value of various financial contracts.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is used extensively in the United States and globally as a reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including adjustable-rate mortgages, corporate debt, interest rate swaps, and other derivatives. In November 2020, the Federal Reserve Board issued a statement supporting the release of a proposal and supervisory statements designed to provide a clear end date for U.S. Dollar LIBOR (“USD LIBOR”), and the federal banking agencies issued a release encouraging banks to stop entering into USD LIBOR contracts by the end of 2021, noting that most legacy contracts will mature prior to the date LIBOR ceases to be issued. It is uncertain at this time the extent to which those entering into financial contracts will transition to any other particular benchmark. Other benchmarks may perform

differently than LIBOR or other alternative benchmarks or have other consequences that cannot currently be anticipated.  It is also uncertain what will happen with instruments that rely on LIBOR for future interest rate adjustments and which remain outstanding when LIBOR ceases to exist.

The Federal Reserve Board, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large financial institutions, is considering replacing USD LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by United States Treasury securities, otherwise known as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). SOFR is observed and backward looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR under the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed by government securities, it will be a rate that does not take into account bank credit risk (as is the case with LIBOR). SOFR is therefore likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions. The extent to which SOFR attains traction as a LIBOR replacement tool is not known, although transactions using SOFR have been completed, including by Fannie Mae. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ceased accepting adjustable-rate mortgages tied to LIBOR and began accepting mortgages based on SOFR in 2020, and many issuers are now utilizing SOFR.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had three loans tied to LIBOR with balances of $13.1 million and total commitments of $23.6 million and seven investment securities tied to LIBOR with a fair market value of $3.7 million. One investment of $501 thousand matures in 2021 and the remaining $3.2 million in investment securities either receive principal repayment monthly or mature within 5 years. The potential transition away from LIBOR is not expected to have a significant direct impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, the extent of indirect impacts from financial market adjustments to the absence of LIBOR are unknown at this time.

A default by another larger financial institution could adversely affect financial markets generally.

Many financial institutions and their related operations are closely intertwined, and the soundness of such financial institutions may, to some degree, be interdependent. As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity and credit problems, losses, or defaults by other institutions.  This “systemic risk” may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, and Accounting Changes

Legislative, regulatory, or accounting changes or actions could adversely impact the Company or the businesses in which it is engaged.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to broad state and federal regulation, supervision, and legislation that govern almost all aspects of its operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors, and the Deposit Insurance Fund, and not to benefit the Company’s shareholders. Changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact the Company or its ability to increase the value of its business. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by an institution, and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies could cause the Company to devote significant time and resources to defending the Company’s business and may lead to penalties that materially affect the Company and its shareholders.

As discussed earlier, comprehensive revisions to the regulatory capital framework were included in the final rule adopted by the FRB in July 2014 based upon the Basel III capital standards. The final rule specifically revises what qualifies as regulatory capital, raises minimum requirements, and introduces the concept of additional capital buffers. The need to maintain more and higher quality capital as well as greater liquidity going forward could limit the Company’s business activities, including lending, and the Company’s ability to expand, either organically or through acquisitions. In addition, the new liquidity standards could require the Company to increase the Company’s holdings of highly liquid short-term investments, thereby reducing the Company’s ability to invest in longer-term assets even if longer-term assets are more desirable from a balance sheet management perspective.

In addition to laws, regulations, and actions directed at the operations of banks in general, the CFPB has adopted regulations directed at consumer lending in particular. As discussed above, in October 2017, the CFPB issued the Payday Rule with respect to certain consumer loans. The Company does not expect this new rule to have a material effect on the Bank’s lending business, or on the Company’s financial condition, and results of operations. The costs of complying with this regulation or a determination to discontinue certain types of consumer lending in light of the expense of compliance could have an adverse effect on the financial conditions and results of operations of the Company. The Company believes its current consumer lending practices are exempt from the Payday Rule.

Changes in tax laws could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is subject to extensive federal, state, and local taxes, including income, excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding, and ad valorem taxes. Changes to the Company’s taxes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, the Company’s customers are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, and local taxes. Changes in taxes paid by the Company’s customers, including changes in the deductibility of mortgage loan related expenses, may adversely affect their ability to purchase homes or consumer products, which could adversely affect their demand for the Company’s loans and deposit products. In addition, such negative effects on the Company’s customers could result in defaults on the loans the Bank has made and decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities in which the Company has invested.

Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.

Increased bank failures for several years commencing in 2008 greatly increased resolution costs of the FDIC and depleted the deposit insurance fund. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore reserve ratios of the deposit insurance fund, the FDIC took a number of actions, including increasing assessment rates of insured institutions, requiring riskier institutions to pay a larger share of premiums by factoring in rate

adjustments based on secured liabilities and unsecured debt levels, changing the assessment base and requiring a prepayment of assessments for over three years.

The Company is generally unable to control the amount of premiums that the Bank is required to pay for FDIC insurance. If there are additional financial institution failures, the Bank may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums. Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and its ability to continue to pay dividends on our common shares at the current rate or at all. The FDIC has recently adopted rules revising its assessments in a manner benefitting banks with assets totaling less than $10 billion. There can be no assurance though, that assessments will not be changed in the future.

Changes in accounting standards, policies, estimates, or procedures could impact the Company’s reported financial condition or results of operations.

Entities that set generally applicable accounting standards, such as the FASB, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other regulatory boards periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for prior periods.

FASB has changed its requirements for establishing the allowance for credit losses.  The new accounting guidance requires banks to record, at the time of origination, credit losses expected throughout the life of the asset on loans, leases and held-to-maturity debt securities, as opposed to the current practice of recording losses when it is probable that a loss event has occurred. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these Accounting Standard Updates. Upon adoption of CECL, credit loss allowances may increase, which would decrease retained earnings and regulatory capital. The federal banking regulators have adopted a regulation that will allow banks to phase in the day-one impact of CECL on regulatory capital over three years. CECL implementation poses operational risk, including the failure to properly transition internal processes or systems, which could lead to call report errors, financial misstatements, or operational losses.

Management’s accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and methods in order to ensure that they comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect management’s judgment as to the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, management must select the accounting policy or method to apply from two or more alternatives, any of which might be reasonable under the circumstances yet might result in reporting materially different amounts than would have been reported under a different alternative.

Management has identified several accounting policies that are considered significant to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations because they require management to make particularly subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates about these matters, no assurance can be given that the application of alternative policies or methods might not result in the Company reporting materially different amounts.

The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory limitations which, to the extent the Company requires such dividends in the future, may affect its ability to pay dividends or repurchase its stock.

As a financial holding company, CSB is a separate legal entity from the Bank and does not have significant operations of its own. Dividends from the Bank provide a significant source of capital for CSB. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. The FRB or Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, as the Bank’s primary regulators, could assert that the payment of dividends or other payments by the Bank are an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to CSB, CSB may not be able to pay its obligations as they become due, repurchase its stock, or pay dividends on its common stock. Consequently, the potential inability to receive dividends from the Bank could adversely affect CSB’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

Periodic regulatory reviews may affect the Company’s operations and financial condition.

The Company is subject to periodic reviews from state and federal regulators, which may impact our operations and our financial condition. As part of the regulatory review, the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses are evaluated. As a result, the incurred loss identified on loans or the assigned loan rating could change and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or loan charge-offs. In addition, any downgrade in loan ratings could impact our level of impaired loans or classified assets. Any increase in our provision for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Findings of deficiencies in compliance with regulations could result in restrictions on our activities or even a loss in our financial holding company status.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CSB Bancorp, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019; the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent, with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter, in any way, our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) – Qualitative Factors

Description of the Matter

The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $610 million as of December 31, 2020, and the associated ALL was $8.3 million. As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, determining the amount of the ALL requires significant judgment about the collectability of loans, which includes an assessment of quantitative factors such as historical loss experience within each risk category of loans and testing of certain commercial loans for impairment. Management applies additional qualitative adjustments to reflect the inherent losses that exist in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date that are not reflected in the historical loss experience. Qualitative adjustments are made based upon changes in lending policies and practices, economic conditions, changes in the loan portfolio mix, trends in loan delinquencies and classified loans, collateral values, and concentrations of credit risk for the commercial loan portfolios.

Critical Audit Matters (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) – Qualitative Factors (Continued)

Furthermore, concern about the spread of COVID-19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause borrowers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained loan repayment shortfalls, significant loan delinquencies, foreclosures, declines in collateral values, and credit losses could result in, and significantly impact, the overall adequacy of the ALL. The extent of COVID-19’s effects on business, operations, or the global economy as a whole is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, which increases the degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the related qualitative factors within the ALL.

We identified these qualitative adjustments within the ALL as critical audit matters because they involve a high degree of subjectivity and are highly difficult to estimate based on the uncertainty of the pandemic. In turn, auditing management’s judgments regarding the qualitative factors applied in the ALL calculation involved a high degree of subjectivity.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We gained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the ALL, including the qualitative adjustments made to the ALL. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s ALL process, which included, among others, management’s review and approval controls designed to assess the need and level of qualitative adjustments to the ALL as well as the reliability of the data utilized to support management’s assessment.To test the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the appropriateness of management’s methodology and assessed whether all relevant risks were reflected in the ALL and the need to consider qualitative adjustments, including the potential effect of COVID-19 on the adjustments.

Regarding the measurement of the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the data and inputs utilized in management’s estimate. For example, we compared the inputs and data to the Company’s historical loan performance data, third-party macroeconomic data, and other internal and external data point and considered the existence of new or contrary information. Furthermore, we analyzed the changes in the components of the qualitative reserves relative to changes in external economic factors, the Company’s loan portfolio, and asset quality trends, which included the evaluation of management’s ability to capture and assess relevant data from both external sources and internal reports on loan customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the supporting documentation for substantiating revisions to qualitative factors

We also utilized internal credit review specialists with knowledge to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s risk-rating processes, to ensure that the risk ratings applied to the commercial loan portfolio were reasonable.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2005.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “CSB”) was incorporated in 1991 in the State of Ohio, and is a registered bank holding company. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (the “Bank”) and CSB Investment Services, LLC. The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates in one industry segment, the commercial banking industry.

The Bank, an Ohio-chartered bank organized in 1879, provides financial services through its sixteen Banking Centers located in Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties. These communities are the source of a substantial majority of the Bank’s deposit, loan, and trust activities. The majority of the Bank’s income is derived from commercial and retail lending activities, and investments in securities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts. Its primary lending products are residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially, all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid with cash flow from business operations. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below:

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates susceptible to change in the near term relate to management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of financial instruments.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank has a trust department and the assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as such items are not assets of the Bank.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash, and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks which mature overnight or within ninety days.

CASH RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

The Bank generally is required by the Federal Reserve to maintain reserves consisting of cash on hand and noninterest-earning balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. There was no required reserve balance as of December 31, 2020 and $919 thousand as of December 31, 2019, respectively.

DEBT SECURITIES

At the time of purchase all debt securities are evaluated and designated as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses on such securities, net of applicable income taxes, recognized as other comprehensive income or loss. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at their fair value on the date of transfer or at amortized cost if security purchases are designated as held-to-maturity. On December 31, 2020, 4% of the total investment portfolio was classified as held-to-maturity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for the accretion of discounts to maturity and the amortization of premiums to the earlier of a bond’s call date or maturity based on the interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest and dividends on securities.

Gains and losses on sales of securities are accounted for on a trade date basis, using the specific identification method, and are included in noninterest income. Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the underlying issuer, the receipt of principal and interest according to the contractual terms, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its market value and management’s intent, and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value. Among the factors considered in determining management’s intent and ability to hold the security, is a review of the Company’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position, and liquidity. The assessment of a security’s ability to recover any decline in market value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, and management’s intent and ability to hold the security requires considerable judgment. A decline in value considered to be other-than-temporary, is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity securities are held at fair value. Holding gains and losses are recorded in income. Dividends on equity securities are recognized as income when earned.

RESTRICTED STOCK

Investments in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are classified as restricted stock, carried at cost, and evaluated for impairment. The Bank is required to maintain an investment in common stock of the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank because the Bank is a member of the FHLB and the Federal Reserve System.

LOANS

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, until maturity, or pay-off, generally are stated at their outstanding principal amount, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued based upon the daily outstanding principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the related loan.

Interest income is not reported when full repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired, or payments are past due over 90 days. All interest accrued, but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

At origination, a determination is made whether a loan will be held in the Bank’s portfolio or is intended for sale in the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of the aggregate cost or fair value. Generally, these loans are held for sale for less than three (3) days. The Bank recognizes gains and losses on sales of the loans held for sale when the sale is completed.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans experiencing insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate, construction loans, and troubled debt restructurings by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual residential real estate or consumer loans for impairment disclosures.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and any loan balance in excess of fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and write-downs are included in noninterest expenses, as well as expenses related to maintenance of the properties. Gains or losses upon sale are recorded through noninterest income. Other real estate owned amounted to $0 and $99 thousand on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets (typically 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for equipment) and is computed using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful life of the asset, or lease term, whichever is shorter. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized.

GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. The evaluation for impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. If the current fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, no additional testing is required, and an impairment loss is not recorded. The Company uses market capitalization and multiples of tangible book value methods to determine the estimated current fair value of its reporting unit. Based on this analysis no impairment was recorded in 2020, 2019 or 2018.

The core deposit intangible assets are assigned useful lives, which are amortized on an accelerated basis over their weighted average lives. The Company periodically reviews the intangible asset for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent the right to service loans for third party investors. MSRs are recognized as a separate asset upon the sale of mortgage loans to a third-party investor with the servicing rights retained by the Company. Originated MSRs are recorded at allocated fair value at the time of the sale of the loans to the third-party investor. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. MSRs are carried at amortized cost, less a valuation allowance for impairment, if any. MSRs are evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings of the underlying serviced mortgages. All assumptions are reviewed annually, or more frequently if necessary, adjusted to reflect current, and anticipated market conditions.

BANK-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

The cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies is included as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the event of the death of an individual insured under these policies, the Company would receive a death benefit, which would be recorded as noninterest income.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Substantially all securities sold under repurchase agreements represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities owned by the Bank are pledged to secure those obligations. Repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $165 thousand, $223 thousand, and $215 thousand for the years ended 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences taxable in future years’ tax returns.

The Bank, domiciled in Ohio, is not currently subject to state and local income taxes.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company includes recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of tax, these items along with net income are components of comprehensive income.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions constraining it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

PER SHARE DATA

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. The company currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus, there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for earnings per share computations was as follows:

	2020			2019			2018
Weighted average common shares		2,980,602			2,980,602			2,980,602
Average treasury shares		(238,252	)		(238,306	)		(238,360	)
Total weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted		2,742,350			2,742,296			2,742,242

Dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the declaration date.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The Update and all subsequent ASU’s that modified Topic 326, requires financial assets be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e. net of expected credit losses), eliminating the probable recognition threshold for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We expect the Update will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses for the estimated life of the financial asset, including an estimate for debt securities. The amount of any increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date, as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. A cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is required as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASU’s.

ASU 2017-04 - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The Update, and all subsequent ASU’s, simplifies the goodwill impairment test.  Under the new guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment process that requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of its goodwill by assigning fair value to all its assets and liabilities is eliminated. Instead, the entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2018-15 - Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This Update addresses customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this Update can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes, changes the accounting for certain tax transactions, and makes minor improvements to the codification. This Update provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized as a separate transaction. The Update also changes current guidance for making an intra-period allocation, if there is a loss in continuing operations and gains outside of continuing operations; determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting; accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods; and determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2020-4 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).  This update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients allowing them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

Certain comparative amounts from the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. Such classifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

There were 26 securities in an unrealized loss position on December 31, 2020, sixteen (16) of which were in a continuous loss position for twelve (12) or more months. At least quarterly, the Company conducts a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment. The assessments are based on the nature of the securities, the extent and duration of the securities, the extent and duration of the loss, and management’s intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. Management believes the Company will fully recover the cost of these securities and it does not intend to sell these securities and likely will not be required to sell them before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. As a result, management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired on December 31, 2020.

Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and the Board of Directors approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand their business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and generally incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria.

With respect to loans to developers and builders secured by non-owner occupied properties, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption, lease rates, and financial analysis of developers and property owners. Construction and land development loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction and land development loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property, or permanent financing from the Company. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. Policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, by management to monitor and manage consumer loan risk. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk.

The Company engages an independent loan review vendor that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis.  Results of these reviews are presented to management and the Audit Committee. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided over $2 trillion in economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. The PPP provides loans to small businesses who have been affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcare and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during the COVID-19 emergency. During 2020, the Company originated 793 PPP loans with principal balances of $92.1 million. The PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made if certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels. PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has received $22 million in loan forgiveness from the SBA.  The remaining $70.1 million of PPP loans are included in the Commercial loan category with no allowance for loan losses allocated.

In accordance with the SBA terms and conditions on these PPP loans, the Company received approximately $3.2 million in fees associated with the processing of these loans. Upon funding of the loan, these fees were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield in accordance with FASB ASC 310-20-25-2. During 2020, $1.9 million of these fees were recognized in income.

Concentrations of Credit

Nearly all the Company’s lending activity occurs within the State of Ohio, including the four counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Credit concentrations, including commitments, as determined using North American Industry Classification Codes (NAICS), to the four largest industries compared to total loans at December 31, 2020, included $46 million, or 8%, of total loans to lessors of non-residential buildings or dwellings; $34 million, or 6%, of total loans to assisted living facilities for the elderly; $30 million, or 5%, of total loans to logging, sawmills, and timber tract operations; and $25 million, or 4%, of total loans to borrowers in the hotel, motel, and lodging business. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment, with repayment expected from operational cash flow. Credit evaluation is based on a review of cash flow coverage of principal, interest payments, and the adequacy of the collateral received.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

During 2020, the increase in the provision for loan losses for commercial real estate loans was primarily related to businesses affected by the COVID economic shutdown.  The provision for losses in the construction and land development category also increased due to effects of the COVID shutdown as well as the increase in volume of loans. The provision related to commercial loans decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in loans graded special mention along with the decrease in historical losses of loans in this category.

During 2019, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was primarily related to loans in the sawmill industry affected by tariffs on trade with China along with an increase in loans in the special mention category.  The increase in the provision for commercial real estate loans was primarily related to the $13 million increase in loan volume. The increase in the provision related to consumer loans was due to historical losses of loans in this category. The decrease in the provision related to residential real estate loans was primarily related to the decrease in specific allocation amounts related to three (3) mortgage loans.

During 2018, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was predominantly due to the $5.9 million increase of loans classified as substandard, as well as charge-offs, and loan volume increases. The increase in the provision related to consumer loans was due to an increase in charge-offs and delinquencies. The increase related to commercial real estate loans was primarily related to the $5 million increase of loans classified as substandard.

The loans restructured were modified by changing the monthly payment to interest only and extending the maturity dates. No principal reductions were made.  There was one loan in the amount of $200 thousand restructured in 2018 that has subsequently defaulted in 2019.

Real Estate Loans in Foreclosure

There was no other real estate owned on December 31, 2020. Other real estate owned amounted to one property at $99 thousand as of December 31, 2019. Mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure were $21 thousand on December 31, 2020, and $50 thousand on December 31, 2019.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial and commercial real estate loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $500 thousand. This analysis is performed on an annual basis.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass. Loans classified as pass (Cash Secured, Exceptional, Acceptable, Monitor or Pass Watch) may exhibit a wide array of characteristics but at a minimum represent an acceptable risk to the Bank. Borrowers in this rating may have leveraged but acceptable balance sheet positions, satisfactory asset quality, stable to favorable sales and earnings trends, acceptable liquidity, and adequate cash flow. Loans are considered fully collectible and require an average amount of administration. While generally adhering to credit policy, these loans may exhibit occasional exceptions that do not result in undue risk to the Bank. Borrowers are generally capable of absorbing setbacks, financial and otherwise, without the threat of failure.

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a material weakness deserving of management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses jeopardizing the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, values, highly questionable, and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $500 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class was as follows on December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)	Pass		Special<br><br><br>Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Not<br><br><br>Rated		Total

Mortgage Servicing Rights

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had outstanding MSRs of $488 thousand and $328 thousand, respectively. No valuation allowance was recorded on December 31, 2020 or 2019, as the fair value of the MSRs exceeded their carrying value. On December 31, 2020, the Company had $107.1 million residential mortgage loans with servicing retained as compared to $75.9 million with servicing retained on December 31, 2019.

Total loans serviced for others approximated $117.5 million and $95.7 million on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 4 – PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation expense amounted to $704 thousand, $562 thousand, and $598 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not currently have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company elected to adopt the transition method, which uses a modified retrospective transition approach. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as of the date of adoption based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy and equipment expense in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The leases relate to bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 4 to 7 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which are typically 5 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are included in the lease term.

As of December 31, 2020, operating lease ROU assets were $498 thousand, and liabilities were $490 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, CSB recognized $105 thousand, $71 thousand, and $104 thousand in operating lease cost.

The following table summarizes other information related to our operating leases:

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2017.

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees who meet certain age and service requirements. The Plan permits investment in the Company’s common stock subject to various limitations and provides for discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions. The discretionary profit-sharing contribution is determined annually by the Board of Directors and amounted to 3% in 2020, 2019, and 2018 of each eligible participant’s compensation. Beginning in 2018, the Plan provided for a 100% Company match up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation. The Company auto enrolls all eligible new hires into the Plan. Expense under the Plan amounted to approximately $655 thousand, $679 thousand, and $565 thousand for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 11 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance sheet loans.

The following financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were outstanding on December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019
Commitments to extend credit	$	227,532	$	210,579
Letters of credit		700		741

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Consumer commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and commercial commitments are generally due on demand and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include residential real estate, accounts receivable, recognized inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are reviewed for renewal at expiration. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company requires collateral supporting these commitments when deemed appropriate.

The Company had a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $25 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and $8 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 12 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, loans are made by the Bank to executive officers, directors, their immediate family members, and their related business interests consistent with Federal Reserve Regulation O and GAAP definition of related parties.

The following is an analysis of activity of related-party loans for the years ended December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)	2020			2019

Balance at end of year	$	84		$	873

^1^ The adjustments made in 2020 and 2019 relate to the retirement of directors.

Deposits from executive officers, directors, their immediate family members, and their related business interests on December 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $7.5 million and $4.2 million.

NOTE 13 – REGULATORY MATTERS

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total capital, Tier 1 capital and Common equity tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company and Bank met or exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2020, the most recent notification from federal and state banking agencies categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized” an institution must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common equity Tier 1, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no known conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Company and Bank as of December 31 are presented in the following tables:

	Actual					Minimum<br><br><br>Required For<br><br><br>Capital Adequacy<br><br><br>Purposes					Minimum Required<br><br><br>To Be Well Capitalized<br><br><br>Under Prompt<br><br><br>Corrective Action

The Company’s primary source of funds with which to pay dividends, are dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to restrictions by its regulatory agencies. These restrictions generally limit dividends to current year net income and prior two-years’ net retained earnings. Also, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements disclosed in the prior table. Under these provisions, on January 1, 2021, the Bank could dividend $14.2 million to the Company. The Company does not anticipate the financial need to obtain regulatory approval to pay dividends. Federal law prevents the Company from borrowing from the Bank unless loans are secured by specific obligations. Further, such secured loans are limited to an amount not exceeding ten percent of the Bank’s common stock and capital surplus.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company provides disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level I:	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets the Company has the ability to access.
Level II:	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability; inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by or other means including certified appraisals. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III:	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the assets reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. No liabilities were carried at fair value. As required by the accounting standards, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Equity securities with readily determinable values and U.S. Treasury Notes are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Obligations of U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and corporate bonds are valued at observable market data for similar assets. Equity securities without readily determinable values are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes.

The following table presents the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral securing the impaired loans include: quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs; observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included unobservable inputs and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

CSB’S VISION IS TO BEA COMPANY OF ENDURING GREATNESS

THIS REQUIRES AN ONGOING COMMITMENT TO OUR CORE VALUES

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

In many ways, 2020 was unlike anything we anticipated – or wished for. It brought hardships, significant challenges and frustrations for customers and employees in the form of health and economic crises. But it was also a time of doing exactly what this Company exists for and aspires to be. CSB is an enduring, independent community bank providing high quality financial products and services through valued employees to the customers and diverse communities we serve – no matter the circumstances or environmental factors at play. We faced the challenges as a team committed to helping in every way we could. At the end of the year, we were a bigger, stronger, more agile bank. We are very grateful to be serving the caring, talented, and resilient citizens of our market area.

Financial records tell only part of the story in any year, especially in periods of extremely unusual circumstance. Still, our financial scorecard for 2020 reflects considerable accomplishments. We achieved record revenue and net income. The bank grew to $1 billion in assets. Our performance generated 11.71% return on average book equity, and we issued a new high of $3.1 million in cash dividends to shareholders.

THE PANDEMIC’S EFFECT ON HEALTH AND HUMAN ACTIVITY

As the year dawned, we had no idea a pandemic was about to grip the world. By the end of the first quarter, there was no doubt. COVID-19 struck with crushing magnitude, creating simultaneous crises in health and economic conditions across the globe and in the United States. Human activity began to be viewed through the lens of COVID’s presence; work, education, shopping, family, and social activities were all altered by a pervasive harmful microbe. In the first year of its assault on humans, COVID infected well over 100 million people across the globe (28 million in the U.S., or 8.6% of the national population), killing 2.1% of infected persons globally and 1.7% of infected Americans. The toll on life has been staggering, and we have sympathy for everyone who has suffered the loss of a friend or loved one from this disease.

The pandemic also highlighted technology’s role in expediting change in our lives. Many employees were able to work from home as companies set up remote access to computer systems and video communication capabilities. Some of these work from home arrangements are expected to become permanent. As the health care industry studied emerging trends captured in computerized databases, revised treatment protocols led to reduced mortality for those under care. Multiple companies developed viable vaccines in less than a year.

By late-February 2021, 7.1% of the U.S. population had received both vaccination shots, with 14.6% having received the

first shot. Ohio’s vaccination percentages were very similar. The current daily rate of vaccination would take about 8 months for 75% of the population to reach fully vaccinated status, the level at which COVID is projected to be manageable as an endemic disease. But the daily vaccination rate is expected to increase from 1.6 million per day in late-February, to perhaps as much as 3 million per day within a couple months. Clearly there is reason for hope of normalization of many activities as summer moves along and into fall.

COVID’SRESULTING ECONOMIC CRISIS

The U.S. economy already exhibited a slowing rate of growth during the second half of 2019.^1^ As it became apparent in the first quarter of 2020 that COVID would spread unabated across America, most states, Ohio included, issued sweeping health orders to prevent the overrun and collapse of the nation’s health care providers and facilities abilities to handle the COVID tsunami. The orders mandated temporary shutdown of nonessential businesses, limited travel, included stay at home directives, and implemented quarantine or isolation guidelines for infected or exposed persons for up to 14 days. The combination of COVID’s rapid spread and mandated shutdowns of nonessential activities and businesses created dramatic economic fallout. Even though most health orders were initially issued during the last two weeks of March and the first week of April, first quarter GDP declined by 5% on an annualized basis, followed by an astounding further drop of 31% in the second quarter. From that low point, third quarter output expanded 33%, and fourth quarter another 4%, resulting in a full year reduction in Real GDP of 3.5% – the greatest annual economic contraction in 74 years.

The overall jobs picture during 2020 was frightening. Spurred by the mandated shutdowns, unemployment climbed above 17% in Ohio, and above 15% nationally. Government tallies recorded 22 million jobs lost in the pandemic, with about 42% of those jobs restored during the year. Roughly one fourth of all small businesses operating in January 2020 were not operating as of December. Service sector jobs were eliminated at a higher rate than goods producing jobs. Leisure and hospitality, accommodation and food services, and arts, entertainment and recreation have been particularly hard hit categories. In Ohio, more than 20% of those jobs disappeared, accounting for 250,000 of the state’s 350,000 net job losses in 2020. It was a time of great uncertainty for individuals, businesses, and organizations alike. We are grateful, though, that at the end of the year, reported unemployment levels in our primary market area had declined to near pre-pandemic levels, reflecting a quicker rate of employment recovery than many other areas of the state or nation.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

FISCAL AND MONETARY POLICY ACTIONS

The U.S. government responded quickly to the pandemic with very strong fiscal stimulus, approving $2.6 trillion dollars in authorized spending and $0.9 trillion in tax relief by the end of the year, with more proposed for early 2021. The stimulus measures were targeted for individuals, businesses, and organizations, and intentionally designed to simultaneously stabilize household and business conditions as well as boost economic activity. This massive economic injection set new records for annual deficit spending and total U.S. Government debt on a dollar basis, putting the U.S. on pace to equal its all-time high ratio of debt to annual GDP of about 122%, reached for one year immediately after World War II.

In a span of twelve days during March 2020, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) reduced the targeted overnight funds rate by 1.50% to near zero percent, effectively dropping Prime Rate from 4.75% to 3.25%. The move was intended to encourage banks to lend surplus funds to spur economic growth, rather than park surplus funds at 0.1% annual equivalent earnings rates in overnight funds. Simultaneously, the Fed began buying at least $120 billion per month in U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, a move also intended to bolster marketplace liquidity, and has indicated it intends to continue doing so until the economy reaches full employment and inflation rises to at least 2%.

RESULTS OF THE STIMULUS

As it became clear that the U.S. government and Federal Reserve were both committed to very strong economic support, the financial markets, which had become volatile, quickly stabilized. Households reacted to all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and job security by cutting back on expenses and saving as much as possible. Stimulus monies in the form of Economic Impact Payments, Recovery Rebate Credits, and pandemic unemployment payments were used to pay down debt, saved to the extent possible, and spent frugally. The average U.S. household saved 7.3% of income in the last quarter of 2019 but put away 25.8% and 16.0%, respectively in the second and third quarters of 2020. Of actual stimulus monies received during 2020, the U.S. government currently estimates households put about 30% into savings, used 30% to pay down debt, and spent 40% of their stimulus receipts.

Businesses, likewise, pulled back on projects, expansions, acquisitions and other elective investments and expenses. Business deposit balances ballooned. Like households, many businesses used available stimulus dollars - Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, Emergency Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), and other grant monies - to pay down or payoff existing loan balances.

The COVID economy was not an even-handed phenomenon. While some households and businesses experienced upticks in income, others suffered greatly. The disparate impact is only now being gauged more accurately, and policy discussions are beginning to focus more frequently on a shift from general

economic stimulus to more targeted support for households and businesses still in distress. One further stimulus package appears likely to be signed into law during the first quarter of 2021. Consumers and businesses appear to be gaining confidence, and economists expect a significantly lower portion of new stimulus dollars will be saved, with a higher portion spent into the economy soon after receipt.

History will be the ultimate judge of the effectiveness of the fiscal and monetary policy initiatives to sustain and restore the wounded economy. At present, the efforts seem to have staved off what was perhaps headed toward potentially far greater economic calamity.

CSB’S YEAR 1 OF BANKING WITH COVID

CSB was deemed an essential business by the Governor’s health orders. We quickly figured out how to maintain safe and continuous operations to the most practical extent possible. We rapidly implemented social distancing, installed Plexiglas or other barriers, separated department team members into different locations across our facility network and some home office arrangements, and followed mask wearing requirements consistent with guidance. We extended paid time off benefits related to COVID emergencies and implemented an emergency employee loan program to assist with COVID-related financial hardships. From March 21 through July 3, we limited lobby access to customers with appointments or needing in-person assistance to do banking. The above efforts did not spare all staff from COVID or quarantines, but we were able to maintain all regular banking hours at every location throughout the course of 2020.

The financial aspects of our 142^nd^ year in banking were quite unique. As businesses and households curtailed spending and maximized saving, deposit balances increased sharply, growing 30% in 2020. Organic loan demand was greatly reduced by the disruption in economic activity, significant liquidity injections through stimulus programs, and in some cases lack of ability to repay. Households paid down mortgages, HELOC’s, credit cards, and installment loans at an accelerated pace. Many businesses were able to utilize forgivable PPP loans, EIDL’s and other forms of financial assistance to paydown or payoff existing loan balances that were carrying normal interest rates on lines of credit, and equipment and real estate loans. Net Interest Margin declined from the shift in loan balances and lower interest rates. During 2020, we also waived a variety of service fees and penalties on deposit accounts to aid customers. In addition, we granted payment relief modifications for periods of generally three to four months to $65 million of existing customer loans, with less than $0.5 million requiring a second round of modification and 99% of the loan balances current at the time of this writing. While the above description of deposit and loan activity is accurate and cites several factors generally not favorable for bank income performance, it is far from a complete description of the year’s major banking activities.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Home mortgage activity was a bright spot, with record low mortgage rates generating the highest loan origination levels in fifteen years. Purchase, construction, and refinancing activity all accelerated sharply. Homeowners were able to refinance their mortgages to great advantage, with some borrowers even refinancing twice during the year. We tripled originations of secondary market mortgage loans held-for-sale as compared to the prior year and recorded $2.0 million in revenue from the sale of those mortgages. At the same time, we were able to maintain total mortgage balances and interest income within our in-house mortgage portfolio as compared to the prior year.

While the sharp reduction in interest rates did not spur organic business loan demand, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided significant lending activity from businesses and organizations. During 2020, we issued 793 PPP loans, totaling $92 million. The average loan size was $116,000 and the median loan amount was $30,000. These low interest loans, guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and fully forgivable if certain borrower qualifications are met, made a significant difference in the financial condition and stability of many of the recipients. We reassigned many employees to assist with this effort, which helped establishments that in aggregate employ approximately 11,985 people in our greater market area.^2^ The PPP loans generated $2.1 million in recognized 2020 income from fees associated with the processing of these loans, with another $1.1 million in fee income remaining to be amortized over the life of the loans as an adjustment to yield in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Round two of PPP stimulus got underway in January 2021, and at the time of writing this narrative, we have approved another $29 million of the potentially forgivable loans to qualifying businesses and organizations.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2020

Early in the year, we opened a new banking center in Bolivar, just before COVID curtailed activity. All things considered, we are pleased with what the capable staff at Bolivar accomplished in 2020 and look forward to continuing to build a strong customer base in the Bolivar area.

We also completed a multi-year project of moving our I.T. infrastructure into a private cloud environment. This key initiative was a vital step in enhancing business continuity capabilities within our digital systems. Hardening digital systems against cyberattacks, hardware failures, and third-party performance issues is a never ending process, and we will continue to build upon the capabilities engendered with the private cloud technology.

SUMMARIZING THE YEAR PAST AND THE ROAD AHEAD

The past year was not kind to bank stocks. CSB’s total stock return amounted to negative 11.58%. We take little solace in knowing that we outperformed the SNL All U.S. Banks index, SNL U.S. Banks Midwest Region index, SNL U.S. Banks from $500M to $1B in Assets index, and the S&P U.S. Broad Markets

Banks index; nor that we performed better than these indexes for the vast majority of 2020. We believe CSBB has inherent economic value that is not represented in the stock price at the end of 2020, and we expect improvement in the price as the economy improves.

We have considerable work ahead of us as we continue to build an even better bank. We are focused on ensuring that credit quality in the loan portfolio improves rather than deteriorates in this challenging economic environment. We need to generate high quality loan growth to replace the PPP loan balances expected to be forgiven by SBA in the coming year and to offset the atypically low interest income new loans generate in the current rate environment. We need to further enhance our online banking platforms, adding features and improving convenience for our customers. We need to grow our fee-based services in the ways customers value and choose to utilize. We need to continue developing leaders and attracting talent for the challenges and growth ahead. We are intently at work on each of these items.

The economy will improve as COVID uncertainty gives way to a vaccinated population and savings gives way to normalized spending. Improved loan demand will follow. There is pent up demand for housing stock throughout our market area and across vast regions of the country, suggesting strength for the mortgage loan segment as long as rates remain conducive for borrowers. Refinance activity, though, will slow as the remaining quantity of mortgages that can benefit from current rates continues to diminish. Businesses are poised and anxious to resume normal operations as health orders relax and eventually fade.

The rate environment appears to be approaching near bottom of cycle. Longer-term yields should eventually increase as the economy continues to heal and liquidity from monetary and fiscal stimulus begins to taper. The near zero lower bound on short term interest rates could be with us for a while though, as evidenced by the seven-year period from December 2008 - December 2015 when we were last in a similar rate environment. Developed economies have generally been exhibiting slower recoveries and lower overall growth rates for several decades, and it remains to be seen whether COVID’s impact can fade anywhere near as abruptly as it set upon us.

We believe we are well-positioned for the future. The balance sheet is strong, we maintained earnings levels through 2020’s sharp economic contraction, and our market area is healing from what appears to have been the worst of the COVID pandemic. We are ever grateful for the support of CSB shareholders, and we will continue our diligent work to add value for the shareholders and communities we serve.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “CSB”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1991 and is a registered financial holding company. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are The Commercial and Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and CSB Investment Services, LLC. The Bank is chartered under the laws of the State of Ohio and was organized in 1879. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and its primary regulators are the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board.

The Company, through the Bank, provides retail and commercial banking services to its customers including checking and savings accounts, time deposits, cash management, safe deposit facilities, personal loans, commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans, IRAs, night depository facilities, and trust and brokerage services. Its customers are located primarily in Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, Wayne, and portions of surrounding counties in Ohio.

Economic activity in the Company’s market area expanded slightly in the fourth quarter of 2020 after a sharp decline from the COVID-19 pandemic earlier in the year. The pandemic has adversely affected both the demand for and supply of goods and services. Consumer spending softened as retailers, restaurants, and hotels reported weaker sales. However, demand was solid for manufacturers and the professional service sectors. Reported unemployment levels in December 2020 ranged from 2.7% to 5.2% in the four primary counties served by the Company. These levels increased slightly from December 2019 in three of the four counties served by the Company apart from Holmes County where the unemployment rate decreased slightly compared to 2019. Labor demand increased modestly in some sectors not heavily affected by the pandemic and wage pressures have elevated somewhat. The local housing market continues to be strong with supply still relatively tight. Construction costs remain high as some supply chain disruptions have contributed to the increase.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NetIncome

CSB’s 2020 net income was $10.6 million compared to $10.4 million for 2019, an increase of 1%. Total revenue, net interest income plus noninterest income, increased 4% over the prior year to a total of $35 million. The provision for loan losses increased $510 thousand over the prior year. Expense increases include noninterest expenses of $573 thousand and an increase in the provision for income tax of $24 thousand over the prior year due to an increase in taxable income. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $3.85, up 1% from the prior year. The return on average assets was 1.13% in 2020 compared to 1.36% in 2019 and return on average equity was 11.71% in 2020 compared to 12.77% in 2019.

CSB’s 2019 net income was $10.4 million compared to $9.4 million for 2018, an increase of 11%. Total revenue, net interest income plus noninterest income, increased 7% over the prior year to a total of $33.8 million. The provision for loan losses declined $176 thousand over the prior year. Expense increases include noninterest expenses of $1.3 million and an increase in the provision for income tax of $241 thousand over the prior year due to an increase in taxable income. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $3.80, up 11% from the prior year. The return on average assets was 1.36% in 2019 compared to 1.31% in 2018 and return on average equity was 12.77% in 2019 compared to 12.89% in 2018.

All values are in US Dollars.

¹Taxable equivalent adjustments have been computed assuming a 21% tax rate in 2020, 2019 and 2018 (non-GAAP).

Net interest income is the largest source of the Company’s revenue and consists of the difference between interest income generated on earning assets and interest expense incurred on liabilities (deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings). Volumes, interest rates, composition of interest-earning assets, and interest-bearing liabilities affect net interest income.

Net interest income decreased $246 thousand, or 1%, in 2020 compared to 2019 as managed and market rates fell in response to the Federal Reserve intervention to support markets and supply liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The average rate earned on interest-earning deposits decreased 180 basis points as CSB’s overnight liquidity increased an average of $86 million on a year over year basis. Taxable securities average yields dropped 78 basis points while nontaxable investment yields dropped 20 basis points. Loan yields decreased 52 basis points. The net interest margin FTE decreased to 3.22% from 3.97% in 2019.

Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 6%, in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to an increase of 28 basis points in the average rate earned on loans as well as a 3% increase in average loan balances. The net interest margin FTE decreased to 3.97% from 3.98% in 2018.

Interest income decreased $1.4 million, or 4%, in 2020 compared to 2019 with a $763 thousand decrease in Interest income from overnight funds sold primarily to the Federal Reserve due to a decline in average yield while balances grew as businesses and consumers increased their savings rates with decreased spending as well as retaining the monies received through stimulus packages during 2020. Interest income on taxable securities declined $365 thousand and interest income on nontaxable securities declined $68 thousand as the Federal Reserve substantially reduced rates and increased their purchases of securities to provide market liquidity. Loan yields decreased by 52 basis points as the prime rate was lowered 125 basis points in the first quarter of 2020 following decreases of 75 basis points during the third and fourth quarters of 2019.

Interest income increased $2.8 million, or 10%, in 2019 compared to 2018 with a $2.3 million increase in loan interest income resulting primarily from an increase in loan interest yield. Following a period of rising interest rates in 2018, the prime rate remained stable until August 2019 and then was lowered three times by 25 basis points during the third and fourth quarters of 2019.

Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 28%, in 2020 as compared to 2019 due to rate decreases of 30 basis points on deposits and 63 basis points on other borrowed funds. Balances of all deposit types increased in the year as savings rates accelerated with consumers and businesses reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic insecurity.

Interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 41%, in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to rate increases of 23 basis points on deposits and 1 basis point on other borrowed funds. Balances of all deposit types increased in the year as competitive market interest rates rose.

Provision For Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount required to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate to absorb probable future net charge-offs inherent in the loan portfolio as of period end. The provision for loan losses was $1.7 million in 2020, $1.1 million in 2019, and $1.3 million in 2018. A higher provision expense in 2020 resulted from a year of higher loan losses following 2019, a reflection of uncertainty reflected in the timing of full recovery of hospitality and restaurant sector, and what if any additional loan modifications will be necessary to assist businesses while the U.S. grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Nonperforming loans increased slightly from 2019 to 2020. See “Financial Condition – Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional discussion and information relative to the provision for loan losses.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes amounted to $2.5 million in 2020, $2.5 million in 2019, and $2.3 million in 2018. The slight increase in 2020 and 2019 resulted from an increase in income. The corporate statutory tax rate was 21% for 2020, 2019, and 2018. The effective tax rate in 2020, 2019, and 2018 approximates 19%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company were $1 billion on December 31, 2020, compared $819 million at December 31, 2019, representing an increase of $213 million, or 26%. Net loans increased $56 million, or 10%, while investment securities increased $73 million, or 56%, and total cash and cash equivalents increased $80 million. Deposits increased $208 million and short-term borrowings decreased $2 million, while other borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) decreased by $2 million, or 4%.

Securities

Total investment securities increased $73 million, or 56%, to $204 million at year-end 2020. CSB’s portfolio is primarily comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, other government agencies’ debt, and corporate bonds. Restricted securities consist primarily of FHLB stock.

The Company has no exposure to government-sponsored enterprise preferred stocks, collateralized debt obligations, or trust preferred securities. The Company’s municipal bond portfolio consists of tax-exempt general obligation and revenue bonds. As of December 31, 2020, 58% of such bonds held an S&P or Moody’s investment grade rating, 13% were non-rated with an underlying investment grade, and 29% were non-rated local issues. The municipal portfolio includes a broad spectrum of counties, towns, universities, and school districts with 96% of the portfolio originating in Ohio, and 4% in Pennsylvania. Gross unrealized security losses within the portfolio were less than 1% of total securities on December 31, 2020, reflecting interest rate fluctuations, not credit downgrades.

One of the primary functions of the securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity and it is structured such that maturities and cash flows provide a portion of the Company’s liquidity needs and asset/liability management requirements.

Loans

Total loans increased $58 million, or 11%, during 2020 with increases in commercial loans, construction and land development and residential real estate loans. Volume increases were recognized as follows: commercial loans including Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans increased $54 million, or 40%, during 2020, with PPP loan balances of $71 million on December 31, 2020. **** Construction and land development loans increased $12 million, or 50% as consumer demand increased for 1-4 family residential construction and several commercial projects were under construction at year end. Residential real estate loans increased $3 million, or 2%. Commercial real estate loans decreased $10 million, or 5%. Interest rates continued to decline following decreases during the third and fourth quarters of 2019, however, there was a slowing of commercial loan growth as business loan prepayments accelerated with increased competition from private lenders and several loan participations were repurchased by the originating banks. Additionally, with the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses went conservative with spending and many companies receiving PPP loans used the cash balances to reduce existing lines of credit.

The Company originated $76 million and $47 million of portfolio mortgage loans, which were predominately variable rate, in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Attractive interest rates in the secondary market also continued to drive consumer demand for longer-term 1-4 family fixed rate residential mortgages as the Company sold $59 million of originated mortgages into the secondary market in 2020 as compared to $20 million in 2019. Demand for home equity loans declined in 2020, with balances decreasing $7 million, as outstanding loan balances were paid down, or balances were wrapped into new first mortgages at lower fixed rates. Installment lending declined slightly with consumer loans decreasing from a slowdown in the Company’s origination of RV finance loans.

Management anticipates modest economic growth in the Company’s local service areas will continue to improve following the initial COVID-19 related shutdowns during first quarter 2020. Commercial and commercial real estate loans, in aggregate, comprise approximately 62% and 61% of the total loan portfolio at year-end 2020 and 2019, respectively. Residential real estate loans declined to 29% in 2020 from 32% of the total loan portfolio in 2019. Construction and land development loans increased to 6% of the portfolio as loan demand for residential construction loans increased by $3 million and commercial construction projects increased by $9 million, year over year. The Company is well within the respective regulatory guidelines for investment in construction, development, and investment property loans that are not owner occupied.

Most of the Company’s lending activity is with customers primarily located within Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties in Ohio. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. See concentration of credit discussion included in Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

Nonperforming Assets, Impaired Loans, and Loans Past Due 90 Days or More

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure. Other impaired loans include certain loans internally classified as substandard or doubtful. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become past due 90 days or more, or when mortgage loans are past due as to principal and interest 120 days or more, unless they are both well secured and in the process of collection. Approximately $1.0 million of the nonperforming loan total is guaranteed by either the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to cover loan losses currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, changes in mix and size of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. Management periodically reviews selected large loans, delinquent and other problem loans, and selected other loans. Collectability of these loans is evaluated by considering the current financial position and performance of the borrower, estimated market value of the collateral, the Company’s collateral position in relationship to other creditors, guarantees, and other potential sources of repayment. Management forms judgments, which are in part subjective, as to the probability of loss and the amount of loss on these loans as well as other loans taken together. The Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses Policy includes, among other items, provisions for classified loans, and a provision for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data, including past charge-offs.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $8.3 million, or 1.36%, of total loans at year-end 2020 as compared to $7.0 million, or 1.27%, of total loans at year-end 2019. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding the $70.1 million PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA is 1.53% as of December 31, 2020. The Bank had net charge-offs of $393 thousand for 2020 as compared to net charge-offs of $30 thousand for 2019.

The Company maintains an internal watch list on which it places loans where management’s analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicates the borrower’s cash flows are inadequate to meet its debt service requirements and loans where there exists an increased risk that such a shortfall may occur. Nonperforming loans, which consist of loans past due 90 days or more and nonaccrual loans, aggregated $4.5 million, or 0.74%, of loans at year-end 2020 as compared to $4.5 million, or 0.82%, of loans at year-end 2019. Impaired loans were $6.3 million at year-end 2020 as compared to $6.1 million at year-end 2019. Management has assigned loss allocations to absorb the estimated losses on impaired loans. These allocations are included in the total allowance for loan losses balance.

Other Assets

Net premises and equipment increased $600 thousand to $12.6 million at year-end 2020 with ATM replacement across the branch network and the replacement of laptops and personal computers. Total bank-owned life insurance increased from $19 million at year-end 2019 to $21 million at year-end 2020 as additional policies were purchased totaling $2 million along with $522 thousand of increases in the cash surrender value. There was no other real estate owned on December 31, 2020 and $99 thousand on December 31, 2019. The Company recognized a net deferred tax liability of $153 thousand on December 31, 2020 as compared to a deferred tax asset of $126 thousand on December 31, 2019.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

Deposits

The Company’s deposits are obtained primarily from individuals and businesses located in its market area. For deposits, the Company must compete with products offered by other financial institutions, as well as alternative investment options. Demand and savings deposits increased for the year ended 2020, due to a combination of government stimulus relief in the form of consumer checks and loans for businesses coupled with the spending reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Market rates on deposits and cash management products decreased throughout the year as liquidity increased.

Other Funding Sources

The Company obtains additional funds through securities sold under repurchase agreements, overnight borrowings from the FHLB or other financial institutions, and advances from the FHLB. Short-term borrowings, consisting of securities sold under repurchase agreements, decreased $2 million. Other borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances, decreased $2 million as the result of maturities and principal repayments. All FHLB borrowings on December 31, 2020 have long term maturities with monthly amortizing payments.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $93.9 million on December 31, 2020, as compared to $85.5 million on December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to $10.6 million of net income which was partially offset by the payment of $4.2 million of cash dividends in 2020. The Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Program on July 7, 2005 allowing the repurchase of up to 10% of the Company’s then-outstanding common shares. Repurchased shares are to be held as treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes. On December 31, 2020, approximately 41 thousand shares could still be repurchased under the current authorized program. No shares were repurchased in 2020 or 2019.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Federal Reserve adopted final rules implementing Basel III and regulatory capital changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The rules apply to both the Company and the Bank. The rules established minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements for all banking organizations. The rules include: (a) a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4.5%, (b) a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.0%, (c) a minimum total capital ratio of at least 8.0%, and (d) a minimum leverage ratio of 4%. Under the guidelines, capital is compared to the relative risk related to the balance sheet. To derive the risk included in the balance sheet, one of several risk weights is applied to different balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The rules also place restrictions on the payment of capital distributions, including dividends, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the company does not hold a capital conservation buffer of greater than 2.5% composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The regulatory capital conservation buffer on January 1, 2021, is 2.5%. The Company and Bank’s actual and required capital amounts are disclosed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

Dividends paid by the Bank to CSB are the primary source of funds available to the Company for payment of dividends to shareholders and for other working capital needs. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to restrictions by regulatory authorities, which generally limit dividends to current year net income and the prior two (2) years net retained earnings, as defined by regulation. In addition, dividend payments generally cannot reduce regulatory capital levels below the minimum regulatory guidelines discussed above.

Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, pay operating expenses, and meet other obligations. Liquidity is monitored by CSB’s Asset Liability Committee. The Company was within all Board-approved limits on December 31, 2020 and 2019. Additional sources of liquidity include net income, loan repayments, the availability of borrowings, and adjustments of interest rates to attract deposit accounts.

As summarized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the most significant investing activities for the Company in 2020 included net loan originations of $60 million and securities purchases of $136 million, offset by maturities and repayment of securities totaling $63 million. The Company’s financing activities included a $208 million increase in deposits, $3 million in cash dividends paid, and a $2 million net decrease in FHLB advances.

QUANTITATIVE ANDQUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The most significant market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in the market rates of interest, resulting in market risk. None of the Company’s financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

The Board of Directors establishes policies and operating limits with respect to interest rate risk. The Company manages interest rate risk regularly through its Asset Liability Committee. The Committee meets periodically to review various asset and liability management information including, but not limited to, the Company’s liquidity position, projected sources and uses of funds, interest rate risk position, and economic conditions.

Interest rate risk is monitored primarily through the use of an earnings simulation model. The model is highly dependent on various assumptions, which change regularly as the balance sheet and market interest rates change. The earnings simulation model projects change in net interest income resulting from the effect of changes in interest rates. The analysis is performed quarterly over a twenty-four-month horizon. The analysis includes two (2) balance sheet models, one based on a static balance sheet and one on a dynamic balance sheet with projected growth in assets and liabilities. This analysis is performed by estimating the expected cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments using interest rates in effect at year-end 2020 and 2019. Interest rate risk policy limits are tested by measuring the anticipated change in net interest income over a two-year period. The tests assume a quarterly ramped 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point increase and a 100 and 200 basis point decreases in 2020 and 2019 in market interest rates as compared to a stable rate environment or base model. The following table reflects the change to interest income for the first twelve-month period of the twenty-four-month horizon.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

The economic value of equity is calculated by subjecting the period-end balance sheet to changes in interest rates and measuring the impact of the changes on the values of the assets and liabilities. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are then applied to the financial instruments. Then the cash flows and fair values are again estimated using these hypothetical rates. For the net interest income estimates, the hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based on the assumed cash flows.

Management periodically measures and reviews the economic value of equity at risk with the Board. As of December 31, 2020, the percentage change of the market value of equity was outside the board policy limits in all rate scenarios. In a rising rate scenario, the changes reflect the large volume of overnight cash and loans repricing, while the duration of liabilities declines. The technical fails have a favorable impact to equity in the rising rate scenarios. In the declining rate scenarios in 2020 and 2019, the duration of liabilities remains high and loan prepayment speeds increase causing decreases in the market value of equity of (23.8)% in the -100 basis point rate scenario as of December 31, 2020 and (32.8)% in the -200 basis point rate scenario as of December 31, 2019.

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The above analysis is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and reactions of depositors to changes in interest rates and this should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Further, the analysis does not contemplate all actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. Government corporations and agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions will generally repay at their stated maturity or if callable prior to their final maturity date. Mortgage-backed security payments increase when interest rates are low and decrease when interest rates rise. Most of the Company’s loans permit the borrower to prepay the principal balance prior to maturity without penalty. The likelihood of prepayment depends on a number of factors: current interest rate and interest rate index (if any) on the loan, the financial ability of the borrower to refinance, the economic benefit to be obtained from refinancing, availability of refinancing at attractive terms, as well as economic conditions in specific geographic areas, which affect the sales and price levels of residential and commercial property. In a changing interest rate environment, prepayments may increase or decrease on fixed and adjustable-rate loans depending on the current relative levels and expectations of future short-term and long-term interest rates. Prepayments on adjustable-rate loans generally increase when long-term interest rates fall or are at historically low levels relative to short-term interest rates, thus making fixed rate loans more desirable. While savings and checking deposits generally may be withdrawn upon the customer’s request without prior notice, a continuing relationship with customers resulting in future deposits and withdrawals is generally predictable, leading to a dependable and uninterrupted source of funds. Time deposits generally have early withdrawal penalties, which discourage customer withdrawal prior to maturity. Short-term borrowings have fixed maturities. Certain advances from the FHLB carry prepayment penalties and are expected to be repaid in accordance with their contractual terms.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company discloses the estimated fair value of its financial instruments on December 31, 2020 and 2019 in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTUALOBLIGATIONS, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan commitments, including letters of credit, as of December 31, 2020:

All values are in US Dollars.

All lines of credit represent either fee-paid or legally binding loan commitments for the loan categories noted. Letters of credit are also included in the amounts noted in the table since the Company requires each letter of credit be supported by a loan agreement. The commercial and consumer lines represent both unsecured and secured obligations. The real estate lines are secured by mortgages on residential property. It is anticipated that a significant portion of these lines will expire without being drawn upon.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

The following table summarizes the Company’s other contractual obligations, exclusive of interest, as of December 31, 2020:

	Payment Due by Period
(Dollars in thousands)<br><br><br>Contractual Obligations
Total time deposits		123,332		77,397		43,630		2,305		—
Short-term borrowings		37,215		37,215		—		—		—
Other borrowings		4,664		1,258		1,653		837		916

Total obligations		165,701		115,951		45,472		3,312		966

All values are in US Dollars.

The other borrowings noted in the preceding table represent borrowings from the FHLB. The notes require payment of interest on a monthly basis with principal due in monthly installments. The obligations bear stated fixed interest rates and stipulate a prepayment penalty if the note’s interest rate exceeds the current market rate for similar borrowings at the time of repayment. As the notes mature, the Company evaluates the liquidity and interest rate circumstances, at that time, to determine whether to pay off or renew the note. The evaluation process typically includes: the strength of current and projected customer loan demand, the Company’s federal funds sold or purchased position, projected cash flows from maturing investment securities, the current and projected market interest rate environment, local and national economic conditions, and customer demand for the Company’s deposit product offerings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and follow general practices within the commercial banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon the information available as of the date of the financial statements.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. These policies, along with the other disclosures presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2020 Financial Review, provide information about how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management has identified the other-than-temporary impairment of securities, allowance for loan losses, goodwill, and the fair value of financial instruments as the accounting areas requiring the most subjective and complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline, but indicates that the prospect for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

As previously noted in the section entitled Allowance for Loan Losses, management performs an analysis to assess the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. This analysis encompasses a variety of factors including: the potential loss exposure for individually reviewed loans, the historical loss experience, the volume of nonperforming loans (i.e., loans in nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more), the volume of loans past due, any significant changes in lending or loan review staff, an evaluation of current and future local and national economic conditions, any significant changes in the volume or mix of loans within each category, a review of the significant concentrations of credit, and any legal, competitive, or regulatory concerns.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting of core deposit intangibles, are amortized using accelerated methods over their estimated weighted-average useful lives, approximating ten years. Additional information is presented in Note 6, Core Deposit Intangible Assets.

The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three (3) levels based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Level I valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level II valuations are for instruments traded in less active dealer or broker markets and incorporate values obtained for identical or comparable instruments. Level III valuations are derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level III valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to each instrument.

2020 FINANCIAL REVIEW

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, requiring measurement of financial position, and results of operations primarily in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Most assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or magnitude as prices of goods and services. The liquidity, maturity structure, and quality of the Company’s assets and liabilities are critical to maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

COMMON STOCK AND SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Common shares of the Company are not traded on an established market. Shares are traded on the OTC market through broker/dealers under the symbol “CSBB” and through private transactions. The table below represents the range of high and low prices paid for transactions known to the Company. Management does not have knowledge of prices paid on all transactions. Because of the lack of an established market, these prices may not reflect the prices at which stock would trade in an active market. These quotations reflect interdealer prices, without mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The table specifies cash dividends declared by the Company to its shareholders during 2020 and 2019. No assurances can be given that future dividends will be declared, or if declared, what the amount of any such dividends will be. Additional information concerning restrictions over the payment of dividends is included in Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of CSB Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our published financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted the required assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. Management’s assessment did not identify any material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, management believes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLICACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors

of CSB Bancorp, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019; the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent, with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter, in any way, our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) – Qualitative Factors

Description ofthe Matter

The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $610 million as of December 31, 2020, and the associated ALL was $8.3 million. As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, determining the amount of the ALL requires significant judgment about the collectability of loans, which includes an assessment of quantitative factors such as historical loss experience within each risk category of loans and testing of certain commercial loans for impairment. Management applies additional qualitative adjustments to reflect the inherent losses that exist in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date that are not reflected in the historical loss experience. Qualitative adjustments are made based upon changes in lending policies and practices, economic conditions, changes in the loan portfolio mix, trends in loan delinquencies and classified loans, collateral values, and concentrations of credit risk for the commercial loan portfolios.

2020 Report toShareholders|  CSB Bancorp, Inc.23

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Critical Audit Matters (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) – Qualitative Factors (continued)

Furthermore, concern about the spread of COVID-19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause borrowers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained loan repayment shortfalls, significant loan delinquencies, foreclosures, declines in collateral values, and credit losses could result in, and significantly impact, the overall adequacy of the ALL. The extent of COVID-19’s effects on business, operations, or the global economy as a whole is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, which increases the degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the related qualitative factors within the ALL.

We identified these qualitative adjustments within the ALL as critical audit matters because they involve a high degree of subjectivity and are highly difficult to estimate based on the uncertainty of the pandemic. In turn, auditing management’s judgments regarding the qualitative factors applied in the ALL calculation involved a high degree of subjectivity.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We gained an understanding of the Company’s process for establishing the ALL, including the qualitative adjustments made to the ALL. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s ALL process, which included, among others, management’s review and approval controls designed to assess the need and level of qualitative adjustments to the ALL as well as the reliability of the data utilized to support management’s assessment. To test the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the appropriateness of management’s methodology and assessed whether all relevant risks were reflected in the ALL and the need to consider qualitative adjustments, including the potential effect of COVID-19 on the adjustments.

Regarding the measurement of the qualitative adjustments, we evaluated the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the data and inputs utilized in management’s estimate. For example, we compared the inputs and data to the Company’s historical loan performance data, third-party macroeconomic data, and other internal and external data point and considered the existence of new or contrary information. Furthermore, we analyzed the changes in the components of the qualitative reserves relative to changes in external economic factors, the Company’s loan portfolio, and asset quality trends, which included the evaluation of management’s ability to capture and assess relevant data from both external sources and internal reports on loan customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the supporting documentation for substantiating revisions to qualitative factors.

We also utilized internal credit review specialists with knowledge to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s risk-rating processes, to ensure that the risk ratings applied to the commercial loan portfolio were reasonable.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “CSB”) was incorporated in 1991 in the State of Ohio, and is a registered bank holding company. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (the “Bank”) and CSB Investment Services, LLC. The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates in one industry segment, the commercial banking industry.

The Bank, an Ohio-chartered bank organized in 1879, provides financial services through its sixteen Banking Centers located in Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties. These communities are the source of a substantial majority of the Bank’s deposit, loan, and trust activities. The majority of the Bank’s income is derived from commercial and retail lending activities, and investments in securities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts. Its primary lending products are residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially, all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid with cash flow from business operations. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented below:

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates susceptible to change in the near term relate to management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of financial instruments.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Bank has a trust department and the assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as such items are not assets of the Bank.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash, and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks which mature overnight or within ninety days.

CASH RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

The Bank generally is required by the Federal Reserve to maintain reserves consisting of cash on hand and noninterest-earning balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. There was no required reserve balance as of December 31, 2020 and $919 thousand as of December 31, 2019, respectively.

DEBT SECURITIES

At the time of purchase all debt securities are evaluated and designated as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses on such securities, net of applicable income taxes, recognized as other comprehensive income or loss. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at their fair value on the date of transfer or at amortized cost if security purchases are designated as held-to-maturity. On December 31, 2020, 4% of the total investment portfolio was classified as held-to-maturity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for the accretion of discounts to maturity and the amortization of premiums to the earlier of a bond’s call date or maturity based on the interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest and dividends on securities.

Gains and losses on sales of securities are accounted for on a trade date basis, using the specific identification method, and are included in noninterest income. Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the underlying issuer, the receipt of principal and interest according to the contractual terms, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its market value and management’s intent, and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value. Among the factors considered in determining management’s intent and ability to hold the security, is a review of the Company’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position, and liquidity. The assessment of a security’s ability to recover any decline in market value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, and management’s intent and ability to hold the security requires considerable judgment. A decline in value considered to be other-than-temporary, is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity securities are held at fair value. Holding gains and losses are recorded in income. Dividends on equity securities are recognized as income when earned.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

RESTRICTED STOCK

Investments in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are classified as restricted stock, carried at cost, and evaluated for impairment. The Bank is required to maintain an investment in common stock of the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank because the Bank is a member of the FHLB and the Federal Reserve System.

LOANS

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, until maturity, or pay-off, generally are stated at their outstanding principal amount, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued based upon the daily outstanding principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the related loan.

Interest income is not reported when full repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired, or payments are past due over 90 days. All interest accrued, but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

At origination, a determination is made whether a loan will be held in the Bank’s portfolio or is intended for sale in the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of the aggregate cost or fair value. Generally, these loans are held for sale for less than three (3) days. The Bank recognizes gains and losses on sales of the loans held for sale when the sale is completed.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans experiencing insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate, construction loans, and troubled debt restructurings by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual residential real estate or consumer loans for impairment disclosures.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and any loan balance in excess of fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and write-downs are included in noninterest expenses, as well as expenses related to maintenance of the properties. Gains or losses upon sale are recorded through noninterest income. Other real estate owned amounted to $0 and $99 thousand on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets (typically 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for equipment) and is computed using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful life of the asset, or lease term, whichever is shorter. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)

GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. The evaluation for impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. If the current fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, no additional testing is required, and an impairment loss is not recorded. The Company uses market capitalization and multiples of tangible book value methods to determine the estimated current fair value of its reporting unit. Based on this analysis no impairment was recorded in 2020, 2019 or 2018.

The core deposit intangible assets are assigned useful lives, which are amortized on an accelerated basis over their weighted average lives. The Company periodically reviews the intangible asset for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent the right to service loans for third party investors. MSRs are recognized as a separate asset upon the sale of mortgage loans to a third-party investor with the servicing rights retained by the Company. Originated MSRs are recorded at allocated fair value at the time of the sale of the loans to the third-party investor. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. MSRs are carried at amortized cost, less a valuation allowance for impairment, if any. MSRs are evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings of the underlying serviced mortgages. All assumptions are reviewed annually, or more frequently if necessary, adjusted to reflect current, and anticipated market conditions.

BANK-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE

The cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies is included as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the event of the death of an individual insured under these policies, the Company would receive a death benefit, which would be recorded as noninterest income.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Substantially all securities sold under repurchase agreements represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities owned by the Bank are pledged to secure those obligations. Repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

ADVERTISING COSTS

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $165 thousand, $223 thousand, and $215 thousand for the years ended 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences taxable in future years’ tax returns.

The Bank, domiciled in Ohio, is not currently subject to state and local income taxes.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company includes recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of tax, these items along with net income are components of comprehensive income.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions constraining it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

PER SHARE DATA

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. The company currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus, there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for earnings per share computations was as follows:

	2020			2019			2018
Weighted average common shares		2,980,602			2,980,602			2,980,602
Average treasury shares		(238,252	)		(238,306	)		(238,360	)
Total weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted		2,742,350			2,742,296			2,742,242

Dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the declaration date.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The Update and all subsequent ASU’s that modified Topic 326, requires financial assets be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e. net of expected credit losses), eliminating the probable recognition threshold for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We expect the Update will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses for the estimated life of the financial asset, including an estimate for debt securities. The amount of any increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date, as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. A cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings is required as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASU’s.

ASU 2017-04 - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The Update, and all subsequent ASU’s, simplifies the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment process that requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of its goodwill by assigning fair value to all its assets and liabilities is eliminated. Instead, the entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU2018-15 - Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This Update addresses customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this Update can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes, changes the accounting for certain tax transactions, and makes minor improvements to the codification. This Update provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized as a separate transaction. The Update also changes current guidance for making an intra-period allocation, if there is a loss in continuing operations and gains outside of continuing operations; determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting; accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods; and determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2020-4 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients allowing them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

Certain comparative amounts from the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. Such classifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

There were 26 securities in an unrealized loss position on December 31, 2020, sixteen (16) of which were in a continuous loss position for twelve (12) or more months. At least quarterly, the Company conducts a comprehensive security-level impairment assessment. The assessments are based on the nature of the securities, the extent and duration of the securities, the extent and duration of the loss, and management’s intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. Management believes the Company will fully recover the cost of these securities and it does not intend to sell these securities and likely will not be required to sell them before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. As a result, management concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired on December 31, 2020.

Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and the Board of Directors approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand their business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and generally incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria.

With respect to loans to developers and builders secured by non-owner occupied properties, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption, lease rates, and financial analysis of developers and property owners. Construction and land development loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction and land development loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property, or permanent financing from the Company. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. Policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, by management to monitor and manage consumer loan risk. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk.

The Company engages an independent loan review vendor that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management and the Audit Committee. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided over $2 trillion in economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. The PPP provides loans to small businesses who have been affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcare and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during the COVID-19 emergency. During 2020, the Company originated 793 PPP loans with principal balances of $92.1 million. The PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made if certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels. PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has received $22 million in loan forgiveness from the SBA. The remaining $70.1 million of PPP loans are included in the Commercial loan category with no allowance for loan losses allocated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – LOANS (CONTINUED)

In accordance with the SBA terms and conditions on these PPP loans, the Company received approximately $3.2 million in fees associated with the processing of these loans. Upon funding of the loan, these fees were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield in accordance with FASB ASC 310-20-25-2. During 2020, $1.9 million of these fees were recognized in income.

Concentrations of Credit

Nearly all the Company’s lending activity occurs within the State of Ohio, including the four counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Credit concentrations, including commitments, as determined using North American Industry Classification Codes (NAICS), to the four largest industries compared to total loans at December 31, 2020, included $46 million, or 8%, of total loans to lessors of non-residential buildings or dwellings; $34 million, or 6%, of total loans to assisted living facilities for the elderly; $30 million, or 5%, of total loans to logging, sawmills, and timber tract operations; and $25 million, or 4%, of total loans to borrowers in the hotel, motel, and lodging business. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment, with repayment expected from operational cash flow. Credit evaluation is based on a review of cash flow coverage of principal, interest payments, and the adequacy of the collateral received.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

During 2020, the increase in the provision for loan losses for commercial real estate loans was primarily related to businesses affected by the COVID economic shutdown. The provision for losses in the construction and land development category also increased due to effects of the COVID shutdown as well as the increase in volume of loans. The provision related to commercial loans decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in loans graded special mention along with the decrease in historical losses of loans in this category.

During 2019, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was primarily related to loans in the sawmill industry affected by tariffs on trade with China along with an increase in loans in the special mention category. The increase in the provision for commercial real estate loans was primarily related to the $13 million increase in loan volume. The increase in the provision related to consumer loans was due to historical losses of loans in this category. The decrease in the provision related to residential real estate loans was primarily related to the decrease in specific allocation amounts related to three (3) mortgage loans.

During 2018, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was predominantly due to the $5.9 million increase of loans classified as substandard, as well as charge-offs, and loan volume increases. The increase in the provision related to consumer loans was due to an increase in charge-offs and delinquencies. The increase related to commercial real estate loans was primarily related to the $5 million increase of loans classified as substandard.

The loans restructured were modified by changing the monthly payment to interest only and extending the maturity dates. No principal reductions were made. There was one loan in the amount of $200 thousand restructured in 2018 that has subsequently defaulted in 2019.

Real Estate Loans in Foreclosure

There was no other real estate owned on December 31, 2020. Other real estate owned amounted to one property at $99 thousand as of December 31, 2019. Mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure were $21 thousand on December 31, 2020, and $50 thousand on December 31, 2019.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial and commercial real estate loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $500 thousand. This analysis is performed on an annual basis.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass. Loans classified as pass (Cash Secured, Exceptional, Acceptable, Monitor or Pass Watch) may exhibit a wide array of characteristics but at a minimum represent an acceptable risk to the Bank. Borrowers in this rating may have leveraged but acceptable balance sheet positions, satisfactory asset quality, stable to favorable sales and earnings trends, acceptable liquidity, and adequate cash flow. Loans are considered fully collectible and require an average amount of administration. While generally adhering to credit policy, these loans may exhibit occasional exceptions that do not result in undue risk to the Bank. Borrowers are generally capable of absorbing setbacks, financial and otherwise, without the threat of failure.

SpecialMention. Loans classified as special mention have a material weakness deserving of management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses jeopardizing the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, values, highly questionable, and improbable.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not currently have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company elected to adopt the transition method, which uses a modified retrospective transition approach. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as of the date of adoption based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy and equipment expense in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The leases relate to bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 4 to 7 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which are typically 5 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are included in the lease term.

As of December 31, 2020, operating lease ROU assets were $498 thousand, and liabilities were $490 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, CSB recognized $105 thousand, $71 thousand, and $104 thousand in operating lease cost.

The following table summarizes other information related to our operating leases:

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees who meet certain age and service requirements. The Plan permits investment in the Company’s common stock subject to various limitations and provides for discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions. The discretionary profit-sharing contribution is determined annually by the Board of Directors and amounted to 3% in 2020, 2019, and 2018 of each eligible participant’s compensation. Beginning in 2018, the Plan provided for a 100% Company match up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation. The Company auto enrolls all eligible new hires into the Plan. Expense under the Plan amounted to approximately $655 thousand, $679 thousand, and $565 thousand for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 11 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance sheet loans.

The following financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were outstanding on December 31:

(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019
Commitments to extend credit	$	227,532	$	210,579
Letters of credit		700		741

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Consumer commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and commercial commitments are generally due on demand and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include residential real estate, accounts receivable, recognized inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are reviewed for renewal at expiration. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company requires collateral supporting these commitments when deemed appropriate.

The Company had a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $25 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and $8 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 13 – REGULATORY MATTERS

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total capital, Tier 1 capital and Common equity tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company and Bank met or exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2020, the most recent notification from federal and state banking agencies categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized” an institution must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common equity Tier 1, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no known conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Company’s primary source of funds with which to pay dividends, are dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to restrictions by its regulatory agencies. These restrictions generally limit dividends to current year net income and prior two-years’ net retained earnings. Also, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements disclosed in the prior table. Under these provisions, on January 1, 2021, the Bank could dividend $14.2 million to the Company. The Company does not anticipate the financial need to obtain regulatory approval to pay dividends. Federal law prevents the Company from borrowing from the Bank unless loans are secured by specific obligations. Further, such secured loans are limited to an amount not exceeding ten percent of the Bank’s common stock and capital surplus.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company provides disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level I:	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets the Company<br>has the ability to access.
Level II:	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for<br>identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability; inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by or other means including certified<br>appraisals. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III:	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the assets reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. No liabilities were carried at fair value. As required by the accounting standards, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Equity securities with readily determinable values and U.S. Treasury Notes are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Obligations of U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and corporate bonds are valued at observable market data for similar assets. Equity securities without readily determinable values are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for impairment and observable price changes.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

The following table presents the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral securing the impaired loans include: quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs; observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included unobservable inputs and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.
