NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Orange County Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware bank holding company (“Orange County Bancorp”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Orange Bank & Trust Company, a New York trust company (the “Bank”) and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors (“HVIA”), a Registered Investment Advisor, together referred to as “the Company.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals, small businesses and local municipal governments as well as trust and investment services through the Bank and HVIA. The Company is headquartered in Middletown, New York, with eight locations in Orange County, New York, five in Westchester County, New York and one in Rockland County, New York. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial real estate, commercial and residential mortgage loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the areas in which they operate.

Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the consolidated financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Company. Assets held by the Company amounted to $1,237,523 and $1,189,119 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included herein for the year ended December 31, 2020 for Orange County Bancorp, Inc. contained in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated August 4, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(4) on August 5, 2021. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2021, the results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flow statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any future period.

Risk and Uncertainties: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted to, among other things, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and continues to adversely affect economic activity globally, nationally and locally. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the New York metropolitan area in which the Company primarily operates. Although the Company has been able to continue operations while taking steps to ensure the safety of employees and customers, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company. This could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on business operations, asset valuations, financial condition and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on the Company’s intangible assets, investments, and loans. 8

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits Topic 715-20. This ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year, and also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. The adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of the ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates. In November 2019, the FASB adopted changes to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to January 2023 for certain entities, including certain Securities and Exchange Commission filers, public business entities, and private companies. As a result, the Company is eligible for the delay and will adopt the ASU effective January 1, 2023. The Company is currently working with a third-party vendor in the development of certain methodologies and modeling techniques that will be implemented to accommodate this adoption. It is expected that the modeling of the new accounting standard will be run in parallel with the Company’s current incurred loss methodology throughout 2022 in an effort to evaluate and inform the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

There was no other than temporary impairment loss recognized on any securities at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 224 securities, 50 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 196 securities, 36 of which were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses are primarily related to the Company’s mortgage backed and U.S. government agency securities as discussed below.

At June 30, 2021, mortgage-backed securities held by the company were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.

The Company’s unrealized losses on U.S. government agency securities relate primarily to its investment in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) issued securities. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021. 11

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

There were no loans whose terms were modified resulting in TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment related to the economic impact of COVID-19. Provisions of the CARES Act largely mirrored the provisions of the interagency statement, providing that modified loans would not be considered TDRs if they were performing at year-end 2019. 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 or at year-end 2019.

The following table sets forth the composition of these loans by loan segments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
		Unpaid			Unpaid
	Number of	Principal		Number of	Principal
	Loans	Balance		Loans	Balance
Commercial and industrial	5	$	746	9	$	3,390
Commercial real estate	8		11,669	19	$	44,782
Consumer	—		—	1		596
Total	13	$	12,415	29	$	48,768

The Company categorizes 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 loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $350 thousand and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’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 that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution 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, and values, highly questionable and improbable. 18

Note 4 — Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. 19

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of collateral dependent loans that are individually evaluated for impairment is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach and resulted in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.

Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company that the Company has engaged in accordance with internal vendor management policies and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Once received, the appraisal review function is conducted by the appraisal management company and consists of a review of the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Through this review, the appraisal management company evaluates the validity of the appraised value and the strength of the conclusions; which are subsequently confirmed by a member of the Credit Department. Discounts to the appraised value are then applied to recognize the carrying costs incurred until disposition, realtor fees, deterioration in the quality of the asset, and the age of the appraisal. The net effect of these adjustments were included in the charge-off to the allowance upon acquisition of the foreclosed property and/or upon partial charge-off of the impaired loan. The most recent analysis of property appraisals including the appropriate discount rates are incorporated into the allowance methodology for the respective loan portfolio segments. 20

Note 10 — Regulatory Capital Matters

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks, (Basel III rules), became effective for the Bank 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 Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is 2.5%. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is included in computing regulatory capital.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and capital restoration plans are required. Capital levels at June 30, 2021 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for the Bank.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Table of Contents Key Factors Affecting Our Business

COVID-19*.* During the first quarter of 2020, global financial markets experienced significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted the level of economic activity in our markets. In response to the pandemic, the governments of the State of New York and of most other states took preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non-essential. These measures dramatically increased unemployment in the United States and negatively impacted many businesses, and thereby threatened the repayment ability of some of our borrowers. As of June 30, 2021, many of these restrictions have been removed and many non-essential businesses have been allowed to re-open in a limited capacity, adhering to social distancing and disinfection guidelines. A new variant of the coronavirus, generally referred to as the “Delta” variant, has emerged in the United States and remains a significant concern in some regions and potentially, throughout the country. This variant is believed to be significantly more contagious than earlier variants of the coronavirus. Certain previously-relaxed social distancing and safety protocols have been reinstated in some areas of the country and it is possible that such protocols could be reinstated broadly in the future. The economic effects of these varying protocol reinstatement actions on the Company’s operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time. The direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in dramatic reductions in the level of economic activity in our market area, as well as in the national and global economies and financial markets, and have severely hampered the ability for certain businesses and consumers to meet their current repayment obligations.

To address the economic impact in the United States, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act included a number of provisions that impacted our business, including accounting relief for troubled debt restructurings. Federal and New York State banking regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. Based on guidance in the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related legislation, COVID-19 related modifications to loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are exempt from troubled debt restructured classification under U.S. GAAP through the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the national emergency concerning COVID-19 declared by the President of the United States terminates. The CARES Act also established the PPP through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which allowed us to lend money to small businesses to maintain employee payrolls through the crisis with guarantees from the SBA. Under this program, loan amounts may be forgiven if the borrower maintains employee payrolls and meets certain other requirements. The PPP ended in May 2021.

In response to the pandemic, we implemented protocols and processes to help protect our employees, customers and communities. These measures included:

●	Operating our branches under a drive-through model with appointment-only lobby service for a period of time, leveraging our business continuity plans and capabilities that include critical operations teams being divided and dispersed to separate locations and, when possible, having employees work from home.
●	Offering assistance to our customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included payment deferrals, waiving certain fees, suspending property foreclosures, and participating in the CARES Act and lending programs for businesses, including the PPP.

As of August 31, 2021, there were nine loans totaling $4.4 million still on deferment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

From a credit risk and lending perspective, we have taken actions to identify and assess our COVID-19 related credit exposures based on asset class and borrower type. Through June 30, 2021, no specific COVID-19 related credit impairment was identified within our investment securities portfolio, including our municipal securities portfolio.

The short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and related monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, on our future operations, revenues, earnings results, allowance for loan losses, capital reserves, and liquidity are unknown at this time. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our future financial condition or results of operations is uncertain and not currently estimable, however the impact could be adverse and material.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant contributor to our net income and is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily a function of the average balances and yields of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by internal considerations such as product mix and risk appetite as well as external influences such as economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits and market interest rates.

The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowings is primarily based on short-term interest rates, which are largely driven by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “FRB”) actions and market competition. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically affected by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are driven by market competition and market rates often impacted by the FRB’s actions. The level of net interest income is influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur.

We anticipate that interest rates will remain low over the next few years. Based on our asset sensitivity, a steepened yield curve and higher interest rates generally could have a beneficial impact on our net interest income. Conversely, a continued flat yield curve at lower rates would be expected to have an adverse impact on our net interest income. 32

Table of Contents

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income is also a contributor to our net income. Noninterest income consists primarily of our investment advisory income and trust income generated by HVIA and our trust department. In addition, noninterest income is also impacted by net gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, earnings on bank owned life insurance and other fee income consisting primarily of debit card fee income, checkbook fees and rebates and safe deposit box rental income.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense includes salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense, professional fees, directors’ fees and expenses, computer software expense, Federal deposit insurance assessment, advertising expenses, advisor expenses related to trust income and other expenses. In evaluating our level of noninterest expense, we closely monitor our efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income. We continue to seek to identify ways to streamline our business and operate more efficiently.

Credit Quality. We have well established loan policies and underwriting practices that have resulted in very low levels of charge-offs and nonperforming assets in recent periods. We strive to originate quality loans that will maintain the credit quality of our loan portfolio. However, credit trends in the markets in which we operate are largely impacted by economic conditions beyond our control and can adversely impact our financial condition.

Competition. The industry and businesses in which we operate are highly competitive. We may see increased competition in different areas including interest rates, underwriting standards and product offerings and structure. While we seek to maintain an appropriate return on our investments, we anticipate that we will experience continued pressure on our net interest margins as we operate in this competitive environment.

Economic Conditions. Our business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the market of the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include, but are not limited to, real estate values, interest rates and unemployment rates.

Regulatory Trends. We operate in a highly regulated environment and nearly all of our operations are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Bank or securities regulators, Congress, the State of New York, FRB and the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”) may revise the laws and regulations applicable to us, may impose new laws and regulations, increase the level of scrutiny of our business in the supervisory process, and pursue additional enforcement actions against financial institutions. Future legislative and regulatory changes such as these may increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The legislative and regulatory trends that will affect us in the future are impossible to predict with any certainty.

Public Company Costs. Following the completion of our initial public offering, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We expect that these costs will include additional personnel, legal, consulting, regulatory, insurance, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules adopted by the SEC, the FRB, the NYSDFS and national securities exchanges, requires public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable to us as a private company. These additional rules and regulations will increase our legal, regulatory and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the board of directors. Management believes that the most critical accounting policies, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows: 33

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact Orange County Bancorp’s results of operations.

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to record additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New York. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may experience adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Bank’s control.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans. The determination of the defined benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost related to our defined benefit pension plans requires estimates and assumptions such as discount rates, mortality, rates of return on plan assets and compensation increases. Management evaluates the assumptions annually and uses an actuarial firm to assist in making these estimates. Changes in assumptions due to market conditions, governing laws and regulations, or circumstances specific to Orange County Bancorp could result in material changes to defined benefit pension obligation and net periodic benefit cost.

Emerging Growth Company. Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non- emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. We have irrevocably elected to adopt new accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies.

We expect to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act that are available to us so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

Assets. Our total assets were $2.1 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $387.3 million from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash and due from banks of $201.7 million, or 166.4%, an increase in net loans of $133.3 million, or 11.7%, and an increase in investment securities available-for-sale of $47.6 million, or 14.4%.

Cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks increased $201.7 million, or 166.4%, to $322.9 million at June 30, 2021 from $121.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in deposit account balances driven by seasonal increases in municipal deposits, ongoing success attracting business account assets, and government efforts to increase liquidity in the economy.

Loans. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.


		At June 30,					At December 31,

Net loans increased $133.3 million, or 11.7%, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2021 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2020 primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans and PPP loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $82.9 million, or 11.9%, to $781.1 million at June 30, 2021 from $698.1 million at December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of increased loan originations to new and existing customers during the second quarter of 2021, due to our strategic focus on geographic expansion in our market area as well as customer acquisitions stemming from industry consolidation. Commercial and industrial loans, including PPP loans, increased $47.7 million, or 15.9%, to $346.7 million at June 30, 2021 from $299.0 million at December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of our participation in the PPP loan program.

Non-performing Assets

Management determines that a loan is impaired or non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for loan losses is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method.

When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for loan losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. This usually includes a modification of loan terms, such as a 35

Table of Contents reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months.

The CARES Act, in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, creates a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protects borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provides financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal banking regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and provisions of the CARES Act allow modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. We have worked with our customers affected by COVID-19 and accommodated a significant amount of loan modifications across its loan portfolios. To the extent that additional modifications meet the criteria previously described, such modifications are not expected to be classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The following table sets forth information regarding our non-performing assets. Non-accrual loans include non-accruing troubled debt restructurings of $959,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. No PPP loans were considered non-performing at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 totaled $2.5 million and consisted of $1.3 million of commercial real estate loans and $654,000 of residential real estate loans. We had no other real estate owned at June 30, 2021. 36

Table of Contents Non-performing assets decreased $55,000, or 2.2%, to $2.5 million, or 0.12% of total assets, at June 30, 2021 from $2.5 million, or 0.15% of total assets, at December 31, 2020. The decrease in non- performing assets at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in accruing loans 90 days or more past due.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate loan terms based on the economic and legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Troubled debt restructurings may be considered to be non-performing and if so are placed on non-accrual, except for those that have established a sufficient performance history under the terms of the restructured loan.

At June 30, 2021, seven loans with aggregate balances of $14.1 million were considered troubled debt restructurings, but were performing in accordance with their restructured terms for the requisite period of time (generally at least six consecutive months) to be returned to accrual status. At December 31, 2020, nine loans with aggregate balances of $15.0 million were considered troubled debt restructurings but were performing in accordance with their restructured terms for the requisite period of time to be returned to accrual status.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.

The following table summarizes classified assets of all portfolio types at the dates indicated:


		At June 30,		At December 31,

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, we classified $22.5 million of our assets at June 30, 2021 as substandard compared to $11.7 million at December 31, 2020. We designated $4.8 million of our assets at June 30, 2021 as special mention compared to $7.2 million designated as special mention at December 31, 2020. The increase in substandard was the result of two currently performing relationships which showed some stress from the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. One of these relationships, totaling $3.7 million was downgraded from special mention to substandard. This relationship consists of three loans, one of which is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $3.6 million. The other relationship totaling $6.7 million was downgraded from Watch to Substandard. This relationship consists of two commercial real estate loans. Both of these relationships have collateral sufficient for recovery of our carrying amount.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Please see “— Critical Accounting Policies — Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional discussion of our allowance policy.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels considered adequate by management to provide for probable incurred loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet reporting dates. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including portfolio composition, delinquent and non-accrual loans, national and local business conditions and loss experience and an overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral. 37

Table of Contents The amount and adequacy of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio. Specifically, management uses specific and general components to determine the appropriate allowance level. The specific component relates to loans individually evaluated for impairment. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of the estimated cash flows.

Loans which are determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance. The allowance is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Management uses available information to recognize probable and reasonably estimable loan losses, but future loss provisions may be necessary based on changing economic conditions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the year ended December 30, 2020, we increased certain of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent improvement in economic conditions, as well as the strong underlying performance of the loan portfolio, have prompted a reversion to normalized, pre-COVID levels for these qualitative risk factors, partially offset by continued increases in the allowance attributable to concentrated growth in commercial real estate loans. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In addition, the FRB and the NYSDFS, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses.

This analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at a level to absorb probable and estimable losses, additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $877,000, or 5.4%, to $17.0 million, or 1.32% of total loans (or 1.45% of total loans, excluding PPP loans), at June 30, 2021 from $16.2 million, or 1.40% of total loans (or 1.49% of total loans, excluding PPP loans), at December 31, 2020. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to the growth in our commercial real estate loan portfolio.

Available for sale securities increased $47.6 million, or 14.4%, to $377.7 million at June 30, 2021 from $330.1 million at December 31, 2020, as mortgage-backed securities increased $40.9 million, municipal securities increased $9.0 million and corporate securities increased $2.7 million, while U.S. Government agency securities decreased $5.0 million. This increase was primarily the result of using excess funds from our deposit growth during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to increase our purchases of mortgage-backed securities, corporate securities and municipal securities. 39

Table of Contents We did not have held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

We review the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), we consider many factors including: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether we have the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. The assessment of whether any other than temporary decline exists may involve a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. We evaluate securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

No impairment charges were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Total deposits increased $382.4 million, or 25.7%, to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2021 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2020. We experienced increases in all deposit categories except certificates of deposit, as money market deposits increased $159.1 million, non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $131.7 million, interest-bearing demand deposits increased $63.4 million and savings deposits increased by $32.1 million during the first six months of 2021 primarily related to business account activity, PPP loan proceeds and government liquidity efforts, combined with municipal deposit growth attributable to cyclical real estate tax collections. Our strategy remains focused on increasing business demand deposit accounts by offering our suite of cash management products. Certificates of deposit decreased $4.0 million, or 4.4% to $87.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $91.2 million at December 31, 2020, largely due to our strategy to reduce higher cost certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2021, our core deposits (which includes all deposits except for certificates of deposit) totaled $1.8 billion, or 95.3% of our total deposits. We did not have any brokered deposits (excluding reciprocal deposits obtained through the Certificate Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) networks) at June 30, 2021. Our reciprocal deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $17.2 million and $63.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a contingent source of liquidity.

Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York were zero at June 30, 2021. We have the capacity to borrow up to $326.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York at June 30, 2021.

In September 2020, we issued $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating subordinated notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2030, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per year until September 30, 2025. From September 30, 2025 to the maturity date or 40

Table of Contents early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 413 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.

In November 2012, we issued an unsecured note payable to a selling shareholder of HVIA in connection with our acquisition of HVIA. In November 2019, we refinanced the note payable with a remaining balance of $3.0 million into an interest-only term loan. The interest is payable monthly in arrears at a fixed rate of 5.6% per year and matures with a scheduled balloon payment in November 2022.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity increased $5.5 million to $140.9 million at June 30, 2021 from $135.4 million at December 31, 2020 due to an $8.4 million net increase in retained earnings partially offset by a $2.9 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income during the first half of 2021 resulting from a decrease in the fair market value of investments.

Table of Contents Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates

The following tables present average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. The average balances are daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments. Net deferred loan fees totaled $1.3 million and $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2.5 million and $539,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The table distinguishes between: (1) changes attributable to volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate); (2) changes attributable to rate (change in rate multiplied by the prior year’s volume) and (3) total increase (decrease) (the sum of the previous columns). Changes attributable to both volume and rate are allocated ratably between the volume and rate categories.

Noninterest expense was $10.4 million and $9.9 million during the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $497,000, or 5.0%, while noninterest expense was $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $19.5 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $1.2 million, or 6.3%. The increase in noninterest expense for the three and six month periods was due to the Bank’s continued investment in growth. This investment was comprised primarily of increases in salaries, computer software expense and professional fees. Salaries increased primarily as a result of hiring additional employees, along with increased salaries in the normal course of business. Computer software expense increased as a result of our investment in loan credit processing and monitoring software, along with increased technology costs as a result of our loan growth. Professional fees increased primarily due to information technology support costs relating to our core processing conversion that will occur in November 2021, costs associated with a third-party manager of our investment portfolio and audit and accounting expenses due to enhancing audit procedures for the 2019 and 2020 audit of financial statements from generally accepted audit standards to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards in preparation for our initial public offering. We anticipate an increase in noninterest expense related to professional fees during the second half of 2021 due to our core processing system conversion. Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was greater than the same period in 2020 primarily due to a one time release of a reserve for unfunded commitments recognized in the second quarter of 2020. The efficiency ratio improved to 58.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 66.98% for the same period in 2020, and improved to 60.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 67.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Provision for Income Tax. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.3 million compared to $695,000 for the same period in 2020. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.5 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2020. The increase for both periods was due to the increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 was 19.5%, versus 19.5% and 19.8%, respectively, for the same periods last year.

The market value of assets under management and/or administration at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1.2 billion, with an increase of $48.4 million, or 4.1%. This includes assets held at both Orange Bank & Trust Company and HVIA at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. This increase primarily was due to successful business development and market value appreciation.

Our income related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest income, increased $504,000, or 26.3%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our income related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest income, increased $864,000, or 22.4%, to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to our growth in assets under management and increase in market values of the assets under management and/or administration during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year periods.

Our expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest expense, increased $225,000 or 15.5%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest expense, increased $361,000 or 12.2%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase during the 2021 periods was due to continued growth in our operations. 49

Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly review the need to adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash and due from banks totaled $322.9 million and $121.2 million, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $377.7 million at June 30, 2021 and $330.1 million at December 31, 2020.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2021 totaled $78.0 million, or 89.4% of total certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2021, total certificates of deposit were $87.2 million or 4.7% of total deposits. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2020 totaled $74.8 million, or 82.0% of total certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2020, total certificates of deposit were $91.2 million or 6.1% of total deposits.

We participate in IntraFi Network, allowing us to provide access to multi-million-dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on deposits for customers, businesses and public entities. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other IntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At June 30, 2021, we had a total of $80.5 million of IntraFi Network deposits, all of which were repurchased as reciprocal deposits from the IntraFi Network.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back up sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At June 30, 2021, we had no outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to $326.3 million. At June 30, 2021, we had a $4.9 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with no outstanding balance. Additionally, we had a total of $25.0 million of discretionary lines of credit at June 30, 2021. We also have a borrowing agreement with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) to provide short-term borrowings of $5.0 million at June 30, 2021. There were no outstanding borrowings with ACBB at June 30, 2021.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.2 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $185.8 million and $184.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings, was $380.2 million and $344.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience, current pricing strategy and regulatory restrictions, we anticipate that a substantial portion of maturing time deposits will be retained, and that we can supplement our funding with borrowings in the event that we allow these deposits to run off at maturity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the NYSDFS. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 10 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for actual and required capital amounts and ratios at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2021, we had $272.4 million in loan commitments outstanding. We also had $7.5 million in standby letters of credit at June 30, 2021.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information related to this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are operating in an effective manner.

Internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On July 9, 2021, Orange County Bancorp filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the related offering of common stock by Orange County Bancorp. The Registration Statement (File No. 333-257781) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2021.
