The following tables show the Company's investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had 8 and 17 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. The decline in fair value is due primarily to interest rate fluctuations and not credit losses. The Company did not intend to sell these securities prior to recovery, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery and, therefore, no securities were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act is a $2 trillion stimulus package designed to provide relief to U.S. businesses and consumers struggling as a result of the pandemic. A provision in the CARES Act includes creation of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) through the SBA and Treasury Department. Under the PPP, the Corporation, as an SBA-certified lender, provides SBA-guaranteed loans to small businesses to pay their employees, rent, mortgage interest, and utilities. PPP loans will be forgiven subject to clients’ providing documentation evidencing their compliant use of funds and otherwise complying with the terms of the program.

The maximum term of PPP loans is five years, though most of the Company’s PPP loans have two-year terms, and the Company will be repaid sooner to the extent the loans are forgiven. The interest rate on PPP loans is 1%, and the Company has received fees from the SBA ranging between 1% and 5% per loan, depending on the size of the loan. Fees on PPP loans, net of origination costs, will be recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment over the term of the loans.

The Company began accepting and processing applications for loans under the PPP in April 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the recorded investment in PPP loans was $62,617,133, including contractual principal balances of $64,680,209, reduced by net deferred origination fees of $2,063,076. Net deferred origination fees on PPP loans are recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment (accretion over the term of the loans). Accretion of $241,972 from fees received on PPP loans was included in interest and fees on loans in the consolidated statements of income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. No provision or allowance for loan losses was recognized on PPP loans in 2020 because the SBA guarantees the loans, subject to compliance with program requirements.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates (the “applicable period”), the Company may elect to suspend U.S. GAAP for loan modifications related to the pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of the pandemic as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes. The suspension is applicable for the term of the loan modification that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The suspension is not applicable to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the pandemic.

In addition, the banking regulators and other financial regulators, on March 22, 2020 and revised April 7, 2020, issued a joint interagency statement titled the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the interagency statement, loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of Section 4013 of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Specifically, the agencies confirmed with the FASB staff that short-term modifications made in good faith in response to the pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs under U.S. GAAP. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. Appropriate allowances for loan and lease losses are expected to be maintained. With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to the pandemic as past due because of the deferral. The interagency statement also states that during short-term pandemic-related loan modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual.

12

To work with clients impacted by COVID-19, the Company has offered short-term loan modifications on a case-by-case basis to borrowers who were current in their payments at the inception of the loan modification program. These efforts have been designed to assist borrowers as they deal with the current crisis and help the Company mitigate credit risk. For loans subject to the program, each borrower is required to resume making regularly scheduled loan payments at the end of the modification period and the deferred amounts will be moved to the end of the loan term. Consistent with Section 4013 of the CARES ACT and guidance from the joint interagency statement described in the preceding paragraphs, the modified loans have not been reported as past due, nonaccrual or as TDRs at June 30, 2020. Most of the modifications under the program became effective in March or April 2020 and provided a deferral of interest or principal and interest for six months. At June 30, 2020, there were 152 loans with a recorded investment of approximately $82.5 million for which modifications were outstanding under the program. At July 31, 2020, there were 149 loans with a recorded investment of approximately $82.1 million for which modifications were outstanding under the program.

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified loan, which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions of maturity, interest-only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

17

The Company made one modification in the six months ended June 30, 2020, that is classified as a TDR. The principal balance of that loan at June 30, 2020, is $200,788. There was no reduction in principal in this loan from the modification, which involved a change in rates and terms. The Company recorded a specific allowance of $118,788 on this loan at June 30, 2020 and has committed to lend no additional amounts to this borrower. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made a modification to one loan with a principal balance of $52,500 that was classified as a TDR. No allowance has been recorded on this loan.

The following tables reflect information regarding the Company’s troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the needs of commercial banking customers. These financial instruments have been limited to interest rate swap agreements, which are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and, where appropriate, contain master netting and collateral provisions protecting the party at risk. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in all of the derivative contracts is minimal based on the credit standards and the netting and collateral provisions of the interest rate swap agreements.

The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously economically hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative. Rather, these derivatives result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company has 41 and 32 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $137,176,000 and $117,048,000, respectively, related to this program. The Company recorded fee income of $260,000 and $353,000 and reduced interest income by $291,000 and $3,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively:

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. The Company maintains restricted cash collateral with a third-party trustee of $10,580,000 at June 30, 2020 and $5,490,000 at December 31, 2019, under the provisions of the agreement.

10. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and its Bank subsidiary are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The final rules implementing BASEL Committee on Banking Supervisor’s Capital Guidance for U.S. banks (BASEL III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the BASEL III rules, the Company and Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its Bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items 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 maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth on the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, that the Company and its Bank subsidiary meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of June 30, 2020, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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, common equity risk based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s ratios do not differ significantly from the Bank’s ratios presented below. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
--- ---

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices in active markets. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

23

Fair value accounting guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level I – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or<br> liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level I assets and liabilities<br> generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from<br> readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level II – Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability,<br>either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in<br>markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially<br>the full term of the asset or liability.
--- ---
Level III – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair<br>value of the assets or liabilities. Level III assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using<br>pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair<br>value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
--- ---
24

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are as follows:

Interest rate swap agreements, liabilities $ 0 $ 2,315,380 $ 0 $ 2,315,380

The following table presents a reconciliation of the servicing assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019

Change in fair value (24,472 ) (14,825 )
Ending balance $ 104,271 $ 146,598
25

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are as follows:

June 30, 2020
Level I Level II Level III Total
Impaired loans, net $ - $ - $ 82,000 $ 82,000

Impaired loans, net $ - $ - $ 97,573 $ 97,573
Other real estate owned $ - $ - $ 1,322,780 $ 1,322,780

Impaired loans are those in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral less estimated cost of disposal. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level III fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value at June 30, 2020, consists of loan balances of $200,788 less a valuation allowance of $118,788. The fair value at December 31, 2019, consists of loan balances of $223,247 less a valuation allowance of $125,674.

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised value of the property. These assets are included in Level III fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMACOMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

(In thousands of dollars, except per share data)

In December 2019, Citizens & Northern Corporation (C&N), along with Covenant Financial, Inc. (Covenant) announced the signing of an Agreement and Plan of Merger. In July 2020, the Corporation and Covenant announced the completion of the merger as of July 1, 2020. Covenant was the parent company of Covenant Bank, a commercial bank with offices in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Chester County, Pennsylvania. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Covenant merged into C&N, and Covenant Bank merged into C&N’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens & Northern Bank.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to the merger. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the historical information of C&N and Covenant as of June 30, 2020 and assumes the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated income statement combines the historical financial information of C&N and Covenant and gives effect to the merger as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2019 and carried forward through the interim period presented. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition had the merger been completed on the date described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined entities. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information. Certain reclassifications have been made to Covenant historical financial information to conform to C&N’s presentation of financial information.

The actual value of C&N’s common stock recorded as consideration in the merger is based on the average of the high and low trading price of C&N’s common stock on July 1, 2020, which is the merger completion date. For purposes of the pro forma financial information, the fair value of C&N’s common stock issued in connection with the merger was $20.32 per share.

The pro forma financial information includes estimated adjustments, including adjustments to record Covenant’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values, and represents C&N’s pro forma estimates based on available fair value information as of the date of the merger agreement.

The pro forma adjustments are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after a more thorough analysis has been completed to determine the fair value of Covenant’s assets and liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information presented in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact C&N’s statements of income due to adjustments in amortization of the adjusted assets and liabilities. Also, any adjustments to Covenant’s stockholders’ equity will change the purchase price allocation, which may result in an adjustment to the amount of goodwill recorded. The final adjustments may vary materially from the adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information herein.

C&N’s management estimates $8.0 million of pre-tax merger-related expenses will be incurred, including $287,000 in 2019, $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020 and the rest over the final two quarters of 2020. Estimated and historical merger-related expenses include severance and employee retention expenses, system conversion costs, professional fees and other expenses. Estimated merger-related expenses are excluded from the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of income presented herein except for historical expenses incurred in 2019 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. C&N’s management expects the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue, and accordingly does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. Also, the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of income presented herein do not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the companies been combined during these periods.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with C&N’s historical consolidated financial information and related notes, which are contained in C&N’s 10-Q for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, Covenant’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 which were included in C&N’s Form S-4 filed on April 7, 2020, and Covenant’s unaudited financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 which appear elsewhere in this document.

Notes to Unaudited Pro FormaCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

(1) The pro forma reduction in noninterest-bearing cash and due from banks includes funds required for the cash portion of the merger consideration ($21.9 million) and estimated net additional Covenant expenses of $0.5 million including severance and similar expenses, costs associated with technology integration, professional fees based on successful completion of the merger and income tax benefits associated with stock options triggered by the merger.

(2) The pro forma estimate of the fair value of Covenant’s loans is based on a preliminary analysis by C&N’s management including a market rate adjustment, a credit fair value adjustment on loans not identified as specifically impaired and an adjustment on loans purchased with identified credit impairment (purchased credit impaired, or PCI). The market rate adjustment represents the impact of movement in interest rates, irrespective of credit adjustments, compared to the contractual rates of the acquired loans. The credit adjustment on non-impaired loans represents changes in credit quality of the underlying borrowers from loan inception to the acquisition date. The credit adjustment on PCI loans is non-accretable and represents the portion of the loan balances that have been identified as uncollectible for each loan. The following table presents the preliminary fair value adjustment to the amortized cost of loans acquired at July 1, 2020:

(In Thousands)
Gross amortized cost at acquisition $ 472,012
Market rate adjustment 6,688
Credit fair value adjustment on non-credit impaired loans (accretable) (10,000 )
Credit fair value adjustment on PCI loans (non-accretable) (1,700 )
Estimated fair value of acquired loans $ 467,000

C&N is in the process of updating this analysis of the fair value of loans as of the merger completion date, including updated assessments of credit quality and the impact of changes in interest rates.

(3) C&N’s estimate of the fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as of the merger date.

(4) The pro forma amount of goodwill recorded from the merger is calculated as the fair value of consideration paid by C&N, less amounts allocated to fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, summarized as follows (in thousands):

Estimated transaction value $ 63,287
Covenant's stockholders' equity at June 30, 2020 44,189
Purchase accounting adjustments:
Loans (1,128 )
Core deposit intangibles 4,800
Deposits (1,950 )
Borrowed funds (1,275 )
Subordinated debt (91 )
356
Adjustment to net deferred tax asset (75 )
281
Covenant's estimated merger-related expenses, net (503 )
Covenant's stockholders' equity, as adjusted 43,967
Estimated allocation to goodwill $ 19.320

(5) The pro forma adjustment to other assets represents an adjustment to the carrying value of the net deferred tax asset resulting from the fair value adjustments to the carrying values of loans, core deposit intangible assets, deposits, borrowed funds and subordinated debt, as described herein, assuming a tax rate of 21%.

(6) The pro forma adjustment to deposits reflects differences in interest rates, based on comparison of rates on Covenant’s time deposits to recent market rates as of the merger date for terms corresponding with the maturity dates of Covenant’s time deposits.

(7) The pro forma adjustment to borrowed funds reflects differences in interest rates, based on comparison of rates on Covenant’s advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) to current FHLB rates as of the merger date for terms corresponding with the maturity dates of Covenant’s advances.

(8) The pro forma adjustment to subordinated debt reflects differences in interest rates, based on comparison of rates on Covenant’s subordinated debt issuances with the rates on recent issuances of subordinated debt of comparable size by other similar-sized banking companies.

(9) The pro forma adjustment to stockholders’ equity includes the estimated value of equity-based merger consideration issued by C&N ($41.4 million), reduced by the elimination of Covenant’s stockholders’ equity ($44.2 million).

Notes to Unaudited Pro FormaCondensed Consolidated Statements of Income

(1) The pro forma adjustment to income on loans reflects C&N management’s preliminary estimate of the effect of fair<br>value adjustments including a market rate adjustment and a credit fair value adjustment on non-credit impaired loans. The market<br>rate adjustment represents the impact of movement in interest rates, irrespective of credit adjustments, compared to the contractual<br>rates of the acquired loans. The credit adjustment represents changes in credit quality of the underlying borrowers from loan inception<br>to the acquisition date. The market rate and credit adjustments are amortized into interest income over the estimated lives of<br>the loans. At July 1, 2020, C&N management estimated the average life of the acquired loans to be 2.5 years. For the year ended<br>December 31, 2019, the pro forma impact of the market rate adjustment is a reduction in interest income of $2.7 million, while<br>the pro forma impact of the credit adjustment is an increase in interest income of $3.4 million. For the six months ended June<br>30, 2020, the pro forma impact of the market rate adjustment is a reduction in interest income of $1.0 million, while the pro forma<br>impact of the credit adjustment is an increase in interest income of $1.2 million.
(2) The pro forma adjustment to interest expense on deposits reflects differences in interest rates, based on comparison of rates<br>on Covenant’s time deposits to recent market rates for maturity dates corresponding to the maturity dates of Covenant’s<br>time deposits. This fair value adjustment is amortized into interest expense over the estimated remaining life of the applicable<br>time deposits, which have a weighted-average remaining life of slightly less than 1 year.
--- ---
(3) The pro forma adjustment to interest expense on borrowed funds and subordinated debt includes differences attributable to interest<br>rates, based on comparison of rates on Covenant’s advances from the FHLB to current FHLB rates as of the merger date for<br>terms corresponding to the maturity dates of Covenant’s advances. This fair value adjustment is amortized into interest expense<br>over the remaining life of the applicable advances with a weighted-average remaining life of 1.4 years. This pro forma adjustment<br>also includes differences attributable to interest rates, based on comparison of rates on Covenant’s subordinated debt issuances<br>with the rates on recent issuances of subordinated debt of comparable size by other similar-sized banking companies, amortizable<br>over the remaining period until the call dates with a weighted-average period until callable of 1.2 years.
--- ---
(4) The pro forma adjustment to noninterest expense reflects amortization of the core deposit intangible asset. Amortization of<br>the core deposit intangible asset is based on the estimated useful life of each applicable category of core deposit – checking,<br>savings and money market deposits – with amortization for each category based on accelerated methods consistent with account<br>run-off assumptions.
--- ---
(5) The pro forma adjustments to the income<br>tax provision reflect an assumed tax rate of 21%.
(6) Represents additional shares issued<br>by C&N, net of Covenant shares exchanged, in the merger.
