March 31, 2020 QUARTERLY REPORT

Dear Shareholder:

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to an outbreak of pneumonia first reported in Wuhan, China. Soon thereafter, the WHO named this new disease COVID-19 and, on March 11, declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Stay at home orders were issued in a number of states beginning on March 23 with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania following suit on April 1. These orders were accompanied by a variety of new laws and regulations designed to protect the health of Americans. These are extraordinary events taking place with unprecedented speed.

This health emergency took over daily life around the world. The potential financial consequences of the worldwide restrictions on business activity designed to contain COVID-19 were soon recognized and the Federal Reserve and other central banks implemented massive programs to bolster economies. Additionally, the US government and regulatory agencies took unprecedented actions to support American households and businesses and to provide bankers with flexibility and tools to deliver assistance.

In anticipation of the pandemic declaration, C&N’s Pandemic Committee took action and activated its Pandemic Plan on March 9, beginning daily meetings of the Committee on March 13. The C&N Team responded thoughtfully with a calm sense of confidence infused with urgency given the pace and magnitude of events. As an essential or life sustaining business, our initial efforts focused on the health and welfare of C&N’s employees so that we could continue delivering service to our customers and communities. Limited branch access, remote work arrangements, distancing, enhanced hygiene and cleaning programs and flexible leave policies to support families were quickly implemented.

Concurrent with these moves, we began working with borrowers that needed payment relief due to the economic slowdown. We were also very active in the residential mortgage arena as customers took advantage of historically low interest rates. On March 27, the CARES Act was signed by President Trump providing $2 trillion of support to individuals, businesses and municipalities through a variety of programs. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was part of the Act and C&N began processing applications and closing PPP loans on April 3. As of April 30, the outstanding balance of PPP loans was nearly $85 million. These loans were made to over 800 businesses and will support payrolls covering almost 10,000 workers. C&N continues broad-based efforts to create value through our support of customers facing challenges due to COVID-19.

Planning for the pending acquisition and integration of Covenant Financial, Inc. continued during the first quarter. The integration teams are working well together and have been in close contact throughout. All required regulatory applications have been submitted and the Covenant shareholders have a meeting scheduled in early June to vote on the transaction. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020.

While it is difficult to estimate the future impact of COVID-19, C&N entered the crisis in a position of strength. This is especially apparent in the capital ratios, which are at levels that demonstrate the capacity to absorb the acquisition of Covenant as well as significant losses, if they arise, while continuing to meet the requirements to be considered well capitalized. Further evidence of this strength was the declaration of the regular quarterly cash dividend of $.27 per share to shareholders of record on April 27, 2020, payable on May 8, 2020.

All shareholders are encouraged to review the financial information provided in this issue of banCNotes, as well as the first quarter Form 10-Q recently filed with the SEC for a detailed review of C&N’s first quarter results. Also, please read the piece on Giving Back, Giving Together and join us in supporting our local food banks in this time of increased need.

1

In closing, I want to recognize the heroic efforts of the C&N Team throughout the first stages of this crisis. These are extraordinary times that hit us all very quickly - testing our values and commitment to the Mission of creating value through lifelong relationships. This group has been steadfast and selfless in its commitment to supporting our customers, communities and each other. Their performance validates the culture at C&N and confirms our belief that the relationships we have built over time supply us with the strength to navigate this crisis successfully.

Thank you to our shareholders for your confidence in this team and support of your Company.

J. Bradley Scovill

President and CEO

(a) Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets are non-U.S. GAAP ratios. Management believes this non-GAAP information is helpful in evaluating the strength of the Corporation's capital and in providing an alternative, conservative valuation of the Corporation's net worth. The ratios shown above are based on the following calculations of tangible assets and tangible common equity:

Total Assets $ 1,629,445 $ 1,290,000
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (29,573 ) (11,949 )
Tangible Assets $ 1,599,872 $ 1,278,051
Total Shareholders' Equity $ 251,228 $ 202,127
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill (29,573 ) (11,949 )
Tangible Common Equity (3) $ 221,655 $ 190,178
Common Shares Outstanding, End of Period (4) 13,787,160 12,393,044
Tangible Common Book Value per Share = (3)/(4) $ 16.08 $ 15.35

(b) Capital ratios for the most recent period are estimated.

(c) The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated as shown above. For purposes of calculating the efficiency ratio, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis includes amounts of interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans that have been increased to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, using the Corporation's marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. In the calculation above, management excluded merger-related expenses. These expenses include expenses related to the pending acquisition of Covenant Financial, Inc., which is expected to close in the third quarter 2020. Also excluded are expenses related to the acquisition of Monument Bancorp, Inc., which closed on April 1, 2019.
