Risks Relating to the Financial Services Industry
Events impacting the financial services
industry may adversely affect the business of the Corporation and the market price of its common stock.
Developments and events in
the financial services industry, including the well-publicized failures of several institutions in 2023 and more recently, have resulted
in decreased confidence in banks among depositors, other counterparties and investors, as well as significant disruption and volatility
of equity and other securities of banks in the capital markets. These events have occurred against the backdrop of a heighted interest
rate environment which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks, and
a corresponding decrease in shareholders’ equity and bank capital levels, impacting the dynamics in the competition for bank deposits,
and may increase the risk of a potential recession. These events and developments could materially and adversely impact the business or
financial condition of the Corporation, including through potential liquidity pressures, reduced net interest margins, and potential increased
credit losses. These events and developments have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility
of the Corporation’s common stock. These events may also result in changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding
companies or result in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements,
which could have a material impact on the businesses of the Corporation. The cost of resolving the failures may prompt the FDIC to increase
its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments.
The Corporation’s business
is directly impacted by factors such as economic, political and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, legislative
and and
regulatory changes, changes in government monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, including, without limitation, the impacts
of tariffs, sanctions and other trade policies of the United States, a deterioration of the credit rating for United States long-term
sovereign debt or the impact of uncertain or changing political conditions, including federal government shutdowns and uncertainty regarding
United States fiscal debt, deficit and budget matters, all of which are beyond the Corporation’s
control. Any deterioration in
economic conditions, whether caused by national or local concerns, and in particular in Pennsylvania, could
result in the following consequences,
any of which could hurt the Corporation’s businessbusiness, profitability and asset quality materially: loan delinquencies may increase;
problem assets and foreclosures may increase; demand for the Corporation’s products and services may decrease; low cost or noninterest
bearing deposits may decrease; and collateral for loans made by the Corporation, especially real estate, may decline in value, reducing
customers’ borrowing power and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with the Corporation’s existing loans.
Artificial Intelligence introduces compliance, operational, reputational, and information security risks.
Unapproved or insecure Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tools may expose confidential information or create compliance violations. Errors, failures, or biased outputs could lead to poor decision-making, regulatory breaches, or reputational damage. Oversight is required to ensure AI tools are used responsibly and to prevent misuse that could threaten the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information. The Corporation has adopted an AI and Automated Tool Usage Policy to establish guidelines for the responsible, secure, and compliant use of AI systems, automated bots, Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”), and machine learning technologies within the organization. This ensures that all AI-related activities support the Corporation’s strategic objectives, regulatory obligations, and risk management practices while aligning with information security controls and protecting sensitive data, customer information, proprietary business processes, and the Corporation’s reputation. Violations of the Corporation’s AI and Automated Tool Usage Policy could result in compliance, operational and information security violations resulting in a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Corporation is a customer-focused
and relationship-driven organization. The Corporation expects its future growth to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained
with its customers by its chief executive officer and by other senior officers. The unexpected loss of any of the Corporation’s
key employees could have a material adverse effect on its business and operations, which would have an adverse effect on its business,
results of operations, financial condition, and the value of its securities. While the Corporation’s and the Bank’s Executive
Chairman recently retired from active day-to-day service as a member of senior management of the Corporation and the Bank, because he
will continue on as Chairman of the boards of directors of both the Corporation and the Bank, the Corporation does not anticipate that
his retirement will have an adverse effect on business, operations, financial condition or the value of the Corporation’s securities.
There is a risk that the Corporation may
not experience the projected benefits of its recent merger.
As described in Item 1, the
Corporation completed a merger with Muncy Bank Financial, Inc. during 2023, and expanded its geographic footprint in central Pennsylvania.
Merger and acquisition activity involves various risks including: potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target
company, exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company, difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel
of the target company, potential disruption to the Corporation’s business, potential diversion of management’s time and attention,
the possible loss of key employees and customers of the target company, difficulty in estimating the value of the target company and potential
changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company. Mergers and acquisitions may involve the payment of
a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some dilution of the Corporation’s tangible book value and net income per
share of common stock may occur in connection with any such transaction. Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue projections,
cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from our recent merger could have a material
adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Corporation’s shareholders have limited control over changes in the Corporation’s policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks that shareholders face.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation determines the major policies of the Corporation, including its policies regarding growth and dividends. The Board of Directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the shareholders. The Board of Directors’ broad discretion in setting policies and shareholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks shareholders face.

The Corporation
Corporation is in the business of providing customary retail, commercial banking and financial services to individuals, businesses and
local governments
through its 22 branch offices operated by Journey Bank, the Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Corporation’s
22 branch offices are operated in Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Montour and Northumberland counties in centralNorthcentral Pennsylvania.
The following discussion and analysis
analysis should be read in conjunction with the detailed information and consolidated financial statements, including notes thereto, included elsewhere
elsewhere in this report. Our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are essentially those of our subsidiary, theJourney Bank.
Bank. Therefore, the analysis that follows is directed to the performance of the Bank.
The
Corporation defines its critical accounting policies,policies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires the Corporation to make subjective
estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on its financial condition and results
of operations, as well as the specific manner in which those principles are applied. Application of assumptions different than those used
by the Corporation could result in material changes in the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. The Corporation
believes its policies governing the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities
and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are critical accounting policies.
The Corporation’s
management has reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies and has discussed these policies with
its Audit Committee. The
Corporation believes the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial statements that
require significant estimates
and judgments are as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses
Losses (ACL) -– Loans
AsFinancial
ofAccounting JanuaryStandards 1,Board 2023, the Corporation adopted(“FASB”) Accounting Standards UpdateCodification (“ASUASC”) 2016-13,326, Financial Instruments –
– Credit LossesLosses, (Topicprovides 326): “Measurement of Credit Lossesguidance on Financial Instruments,” which replaced the current
lossaccounting impairment methodology under U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expectedfor credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that
are not measured at fair value through net income. ASC 326 requires consideration of a broader
broad range of reasonable and supportable information
to form credit loss estimates in an effort to provide financial statement users with more
decision-useful information about the expected
credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit. ASU 2016-13,
commonlyCommonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses
(“CECL”), ASC 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets)
to be measured at an amortized cost basis and
presented at the net amount expected to be collected. TheASC amendments326 inaffects this update affect
financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted
for at fair value through net income, including such financial assets as loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in
leases, off-balance-sheetoff-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables,
and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that
have the contractual right to receive cash. Upon adoption of ASU
2016-13 on January 1, 2023, the Corporation recorded an incremental decrease in the ACL through a cumulative effect adjustment to
equity, net of tax, with subsequent adjustments charged to earnings through a provision for credit losses.
Although the Corporation’s
management uses
the best information available, the level of the ACL remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and
short-term change
which could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations. From
January 1, 20242025 to
December 31, 2024,2025, the level of the ACL increased from $9.3$9.9 million to $9.9$10.0 million and the ACL to total loans increased decreased
from 0.87%0.88% to
0.88%. 0.85%. The Corporation’s ACL is highly sensitive to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying its calculation.
See Note
1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 54 “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” within the
Corporation’s Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
which are included in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
additional qualitative and quantitative information about the Corporation’s
ACL.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill arises from business combinations and is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment. Impairment testing is performed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Corporation has selected September 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment test. Additionally, a goodwill impairment evaluation is performed on an interim basis when events or circumstances indicate impairment potentially exists. Based on the annual goodwill impairment tests completed September 30, 2025 and 2024, no impairment was noted. No assurance can be given that future impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
The Corporation’s other intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit intangibles. The calculation of core deposit intangibles are based on significant judgements. Core deposit intangibles are calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on various factors including discount rate, attrition rate, interest rate, cost of alternative funds and net maintenance costs. Core deposit intangibles are amortized over the expected life of each acquired core deposit type, discounted at a long-term market oriented after-tax rate of return. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment may include significant runoff or attrition. Management is not aware of any indicators of impairment related to core deposit intangibles as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Business Combinations
Business
combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. As of acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are measured at fair value and recognized separately from goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included
in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. The calculation of intangible assets including core deposits and
the fair value of loans are based on significant judgements. Core deposit intangibles are calculated using a discounted cash flow model
based on various factors including discount rate, attrition rate, interest rate, cost of alternative funds and net maintenance costs.
Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. Determining the fair value of the
acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash
flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition-date fair value including the
remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk
grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.
MERGER WITH MUNCY BANK FINANCIAL, INC.
The
Corporation’s merger with Muncy Bank Financial, Inc. (“MBF”) was completed November 11, 2023. MBF was a Pennsylvania
corporation that conducted its business primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary The Muncy Bank & Trust Company, which operated
from a main office in Muncy, Pennsylvania, and had nine additional branches throughout Northcentral Pennsylvania.
At the effective time of the
merger, MBF’s shareholders received a fixed exchange ratio of 0.9259 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for each MBF
common share they owned, except to the extent of cash received for fractional shares at $41.47 per share. Total purchase consideration
was $55,101,000, including common stock with a fair value of $55,092,000 and cash of $9,000 paid for fractional shares. Holders of MBF
common stock prior to the consummation of the merger held approximately 41.7% of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately
following the merger.
In connection with the acquisition,
effective November 11, 2023, the Corporation recorded goodwill of $17.7 million and a core deposit intangible asset of $12.1 million.
Assets acquired totaled $671.4 million, including gross loans valued at $504.1 million, available-for-sale debt securities valued at $93.0
million, bank-owned life insurance valued at $17.8 million and premises and equipment, net, valued at $14.9 million. Liabilities assumed
totaled $634.0 million, including deposits valued at $521.3 million and borrowings valued at $105.5 million. The assets purchased and
liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their preliminary estimated fair values at the time of closing and may be adjusted
for up to one year subsequent to the acquisition.
For the year ended December
31, 2024, the Corporation incurred pre-tax merger-related expenses related to the MBF transaction of $241,000 compared to $3,028,000,
for the year ended December 31, 2023. Merger-related expenses include voluntary severance and similar expenses as well as expenses related
to conversion of MBF’s core banking system into the Corporation’s core system and legal and other professional expenses.

liabilities were $1.159 billion for each of the yearyears ended December 31, 20242025 and $763.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
Available-for-sale debt securities
decreased $90.1 million to $323.2 million at December 31, 2024 from $413.3 million at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December
31, 2024, the Corporation sold available-for-sale debt securities with a total market value of $51.7 million, the proceeds of which were
primarily utilized to paydown short-term FHLB borrowings. Securities sold included $35.6 million of US government agency securities, $15.5
million of mortgaged-backed securities and $563,000 of collateralized mortgage obligations. In addition to the securities sold, the Corporation
received proceeds from paydowns, calls and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities of $55.3 million during the year ended December
31, 2024. Partially offsetting these changes was an increase in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities of $1.4 million and purchases
of $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Restricted investment in bank
stocks decreased $3.3 million to $7.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $10.4 million at December 31, 2023. This decrease is directly
attributable to the decrease in required FHLB stock holdings due to the paydown in short and long-term FHLB borrowings.
Deferred tax assets, net,
decreased $2.6 million to $10.0 million at December 31, 2024 from $12.6 million at December 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily related
to decreases in deferred tax assets, net, related to core deposit intangibles and purchase accounting adjustments for the year ended December
31, 2024.

Available-for-sale debt securities increased $4.0 million to $327.2 million at December 31, 2025 from $323.2 million at December 31, 2024. The Corporation received proceeds from sales, paydowns, calls and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities of $94.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. Offsetting this activity were purchases of $84.6 million and an increase in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities of $12.5 million for year ended December 31, 2025.
Interest-bearing deposits
increased $148.1 million to $1.033 billion at December 31, 2024 from $884.7 million at December 31, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits
decreased 2.4% from $266.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $259.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in interest-bearing deposits
during the year ended December 31, 2024 was a result of a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase agreements, which
are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts. The Bank anticipates a continued migration of customer repurchase
accounts from short-term borrowings to interest bearing deposits moving into 2025. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits was
a result of the migration of noninterest-bearing deposit accounts into interest bearing products for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Short-term borrowings decreased
$184.1 million to $68.4 million at December 31, 2024 from $252.5 million at December 31, 2023. This change was primarily related to the
migration of customer repurchase agreements as well as a paydown in short-term FHLB borrowings during the year as discussed above.

Interest-bearing deposits increased $103.0 million to $1.136 billion at December 31, 2025 from $1.033 billion at December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 6.7% from $259.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $277.0 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in interest-bearing deposits during the year ended December 31, 2025 was a result of strong organic deposit growth in combination with the continued execution of a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase agreements, which are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts. The Bank anticipates the completion of this project in 2026 which will assist in optimizing the Bank’s long-term liquidity needs and balance sheet management strategies. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was a result of continued growth in overall deposit levels and changes in product mix for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Short-term borrowings decreased $55.9 million to $12.5 million at December 31, 2025 from $68.4 million at December 31, 2024. This change was primarily related to the migration of customer repurchase agreements as discussed above as well as a paydown in short-term FHLB borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Long-term borrowings were $55.5 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $40.6 million at December 31, 2025. This decrease is primarily related to $15.2 million in long-term borrowing maturities during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Total stockholder’s equity increased by $26.1 million, or 15.7%, from $166.4 million at December 31, 2024, to $192.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to earnings, net of cash dividends, along with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the fair values of available-for-sale debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $4.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and $13.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

Increases in residentialResidential real
estate non-accrual
loans wereare generally applicablerelated to a homogenous population of well secured loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential
properties. With
respect to commercial real estate non-accrual loans, the Corporation has experienced a limited number of large commercial relationships
relationships that have required significant monitoring and workout efforts. As a result, these relationships may significantly impact
the total amount
of allowance required on individual loans and may significantly impact the provision for credit losses and the amount
of total charge-offs
reported in any one period.
The most significant changes in the allowance for credit losses on an individual segment basis from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 include an increase in residential real estate loans from $1,850,000, or 18.8% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2024 to $2,556,000, or 25.7% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2025, as well as a decrease in commercial real estate loans from $6,869,000, or 69.7% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2024 to $6,148,000, or 61.7% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2025. The increase for residential real estate loans includes the impact of increases in non-accrual loans which impacted probability of default calculations and levels of individually evaluated loans and related individually evaluated allowance levels as well as changes in qualitative factors related to the nature of the loan portfolio, volume and severity of past due loans, loan grade migration, changes in lending staff, changes in lending policies and procedures and forecasted economic conditions. The decrease for commercial real estate loans includes the impact of lower individually evaluated allowances related to student housing loans due to a decrease in loan balances, an increase in the volume of collateral dependent loans with no allowance required due to higher overall nonperforming commercial real estate loan balances as well as a decrease in allowance levels for commercial construction loans due to decreases in volume and loss rates utilized. The impact of these items was partially offset by changes in qualitative factors consistent with residential real estate loans as noted above.

was $10.4 million in 2024, an increase of $3.3 million, or 45.7%, from $7.1 million in 2023, which primarily related to increases
in service charges and fees, earnings on bank-owned life insurance, interchange fees and other non-interest income. Non-interest expense was
$37.7 million in 2024, an increase of $13.6 million, or 56.2%, from $24.1 million in 2023, which was primarily related to increases

regarding the
Corporation’s allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024.2025.
Total non-interest income was $10.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024. Service charges and fees increased $236,000 due primarily to higher overdraft fee income. Brokerage income and trust income increased $131,000 and $168,000, respectively, due primarily to higher assets under management. These changes were offset by realized losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net, which totaled $422,000 for 2025 compared to $85,000 for 2024. The increase in realized losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net, for 2025 was related to a strategic realignment of the investment portfolio to enhance net interest margin in future years. Additionally, other non-interest income decreased $294,000 due to one-time events in the first quarter 2024 including incentives received in conjunction with the launch of a debit card reissuance project as well as a governmental grant recorded in conjunction with the completion of a solar energy project.
Total non-interest income
increased $3.3 million or 45.7% to $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2023. Service charges and fees increased $638,000 due to an increased number of accounts and increased transaction volumes due to
the MBF merger. Interchange fees increased $801,000 or 43.6% due to an increase in the volume of transactions due to the MBF merger and
continued increase in electronic payments. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance increased $425,000 or 84.5% from $503,000 to $928,000
due to an increase in cash surrender values related to the MBF merger. Other non-interest income increased $930,000 or 92.4% due primarily
to incentives received in conjunction with the launch of a debit card reissuance project, a governmental grant recorded in conjunction
with the completion of a solar energy project, increases in merchant services income and secondary market mortgage servicing fees.
Total non-interest expense increased $3.4 million or 8.9% from $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Salaries and employee benefits expense of $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $2.6 million from $19.2 million for the same period of 2024. The Corporation recorded one-time pretax expenses totaling $1.3 million in conjunction with the retirement of its Executive Chairman during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, health insurance expenses associated with the Corporation’s partially self-funded health insurance plan were $704,000 higher in the year ended December 31, 2025 than the same period of 2024. In addition to the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, Pennsylvania shares tax expense increased $298,000 or 31.7% due to increased capital levels, professional fees increased $417,000, due primarily to higher overall marketing and advertising costs as well as higher foreclosure and loan workout expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases in merger-related expenses of $241,000 and amortization of intangibles of $179,000 due to lower core deposit intangible amortization in 2025.
Total
non-interest expense increased $13.6 million or 56.2% from $24.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, to $37.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2024. The MBF merger has contributed significantly to increases in all components of non-interest expense. Salaries
and employee benefits increased $7.4 million, occupancy increased $1.1 million, Pennsylvania shares tax increased $576,000, data processing
and telecommunications increased $2.0 million and other non-interest expense increased $1.6 million. All of these increases relate to
the closing of the MBF merger on November 11, 2023. Merger-related expenses totaled $241,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared
to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Amortization of intangibles totaled $2.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2024, compared to $183,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 with the increase being due primarily to amortization of the core deposit
intangible related to the MBF merger.

Statements which are included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional qualitative and quantitative information
about the Corporation’s ACL.
The
Corporation’s other intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit intangibles. The calculation of core deposit intangibles
are based on significant judgements. Core deposit intangibles are calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on various factors
including discount rate, attrition rate, interest rate, cost of alternative funds and net maintenance costs. Core deposit intangibles
are amortized over the expected life of each acquired core deposit type, discounted at a long-term market oriented after-tax rate of return.
Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of impairment may include significant
runoff or attrition. Management is not aware of any indicators of impairment related to core deposit intangibles as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026

directly related to increasedthe correspondentprepayment bankof balanceslong-term resulting from strong deposit growthborrowings during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.2026, which is discussed in further detail below.
Available-for-sale debt securities
increased $28.0 million to $355.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $327.2 million at December 31, 2025. The Corporation purchased $38.6
million in available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Partially offsetting this activity was proceeds
from paydowns, calls and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities of $8.0 million and a decrease in fair value of $3.2 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Gross loans receivable held
for investment increased $3.9$28.6 million or 0.3%2.4% to $1.182$1.206 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $1.178 billion at December 31, 2025. New loan originations
for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 totaled $11.8$34.4 million. Partially offsetting this increase was the sale of approximately $9.8
million in mortgage loans for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. On January 28, 2026, the Bank entered into an Asset Purchase and
Interim Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Bank agreed to sell a portfolio of 82 individual delinquent, nonperforming or reperforming
1-4 family residential mortgage loans. The outstanding principal balance of the loans was approximately $9.8 million. The sale resulted
in reductions in past-due and nonaccrual residential real estate loans comparing respective MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 amounts.
Interest-bearing deposits
increased $34.6$20.5 million to $1.170$1.156 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $1.136 billion at December 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased
2.2% 0.1% from $277.0 million at December 31, 2025 to $283.2$277.4 million at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The increase in total deposits during the threesix months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was a result of strong organic deposit growth in combination with a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase
agreements, which are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts.
Short-term borrowings, which consist primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and periodic overnight or short-term FHLB advances, increased $11.8 million from $12.5 million at December 31, 2025 to $24.3 million at June 30, 2026. Included in this change was a decrease of securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $6.0 million along with an increase in short-term FHLB advances of $17.8 million. The decrease in repurchase agreements was due to the strategic initiative noted above. Short-term FHLB advances are utilized in the daily management of the Bank’s loan and deposit portfolios and increased due to strong loan demand experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Long-term borrowings, which consist of advances due to the FHLB – Pittsburgh, totaled $40.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $0 at June 30, 2026. The Corporation prepaid, in full, its outstanding long-term FHLB borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2026. This resulted in an aggregate prepayment penalty of approximately $49,000, as well as the immediate recognition of approximately $313,000 of remaining unamortized fair value adjustments related to these borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2026, on a pretax basis. The prepayment of long-term borrowings was executed to reduce borrowing costs and enhance net interest margin on a prospective basis. The weighted-average FHLB interest rate of long-term borrowings which were prepaid was 3.96%.
Total stockholder’s
equity decreasedincreased by $0.5$6.1 million, or 0.3%,3.2%, from $192.5 million at December 31, 2025, to $192.1$198.7 million at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. This decrease
increase is primarily attributable to earnings, net of cash dividends, offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes
in the fair values of available-for-sale debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $6.6$5.5 million as of MarchJune 31,
30, 2026 and $4.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
The loan-to-deposit ratio
is a key measurement of liquidity. Our loan-to-deposit ratio decreasedincreased from 82.6% as of December 31, 2025 to 80.6%83.4% as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026
due to the asset/liability mix changes noted above, and remains within internal policy limits.
The
Corporation’s investment securities portfolio provides a source of liquidity needed to meet expected loan demand and interest income
to increase profitability. Additionally, the investment securities portfolio is used to meet pledging requirements to secure public deposits,
customer repurchase agreements and for other purposes. Debt securities are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
at the time of purchase based on management's intent. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding
gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, while held-to-maturity
securities are carried at amortized cost. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all debt securities were classified as available-for-sale.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with gains and losses due to fluctuations in market
value included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Securities with limited marketability and/or restrictions, such as FHLB of Pittsburgh
stock, are carried at cost. Decisions to purchase or sell investment securities are based upon management’s current assessment
of long and short-term economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment and asset/liability management, liquidity
and tax-planning strategies.
At
March 31,June 30, 2026, the investment portfolio was comprised principally of available-for-sale debt securities including, fixed-rate, taxable
and tax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions and fixed-rate and floating-rate securities issued by U.S. government
or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, which include agencies, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, or
CMOs. Additionally, the Corporation holds equity investments in the stock of certain publicly traded bank holding companies. Except for
U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, there were no securities of any individual issuer that exceeded 10.0% of stockholders’
equity as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
The
majority of the Corporation's debt securities are fixed-rate instruments and inherently subject to interest rate risk,
as the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates with changes in interest rates. Generally, a security's value reacts inversely with changes
in interest rates. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported in the accumulated
other comprehensive income or loss component of stockholder's equity, net of deferred income taxes. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Corporation
reported a net unrealized loss, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, of $6.6$5.5 million, net of deferred income taxes of
$1.7 $1.5 million, an increase of $2.5$1.5 million compared to the net unrealized holding loss of $4.0 million, net of deferred income
taxes of $1.1 million, at December 31, 2025. Any future changes in interest rates could result in changes in the fair value of the
Corporation’s securities portfolio and capital position. However, accumulated other comprehensive income and loss related to available-for-sale
debt securities is excluded from regulatory capital and does not have an impact on the Corporation's regulatory capital ratios.
The
following table presents the carrying value of available-for-sale debt securities, at fair value at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31,
2025:
The
following table presents the weighted-average yields on available-for-sale debt securities by major category and maturity period
at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Yields are calculated on the basis of the amortized cost and weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security.
Because mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included
in the maturity categories in the following summary.
At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December
31, 2025, the Corporation held $1.5$1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in equity securities recorded at fair value. The following
is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the three and six months ended March

Gross loans receivable increased
0.3% 2.4% from $1.178 billion at December 31, 2025 to $1.182$1.206 billion at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The percentage distribution in the loan portfolio is
shown in the tables below:
Loan concentrations are considered
to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted
by economic or other conditions. Our lending activity is heavily concentrated in the geographic market areas we serve. This geographic
concentration subjects our loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within the state. The risks created by this concentration
have been considered by management and are monitored on an ongoing basis. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no concentrations
of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than the categories of loans disclosed in the table above. We believe our loan portfolio is
diversified relative to industry concentrations across the various loan portfolio categories.
Banking regulators have established
guidelines of less than 100% of tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses in construction lending and less than 300% of tier 1 capital
plus allowance for credit losses in commercial real estate lending that management monitors as part of the risk management process. The
construction concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding construction and land development loans to total tier 1 capital plus
allowance for credit losses. The commercial real estate concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding balance of non-owner occupied
commercial real estate, multifamily, and construction and land development loans to tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses. At
March 31,June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank’s exposure to commercial real estate was well below these guidelines.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, commercial
real estate loans totaled $417.7$435.7 million or 35.4%36.1% of total gross loans. Of this amount commercial mortgage loans represented $368.1$386.1 million
or 31.2%32.0% of total gross loans and student housing loans represented $49.6$49.7 million or 4.2%4.1% of total gross loans. The

March 31,June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information
regarding the Corporation’s loan portfolio as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
The
following table presents information about non-performing assets, as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Total non-performing assets
amounted to $9,360,000,$8,881,000, or 0.55%0.53% of total assets at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to $11,978,000, or 0.72% of total assets at December 31,
2025. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Corporation experienced decreasesa significant decrease in non-accrualnonaccrual loansloans, in all major loan classifications,
however, the most significant decreaseswhich was inlargely driven by nonaccrual residential real estate loans which decreased $2.3$3.0 million, primarily related to the loan
sale mentioned above.previously.
Management believes it has
been conservative in its decisions concerning identification of loans requiring individual evaluation for credit loss, estimates of loss,
and nonaccrual status; however, the actual losses realized from these relationships could vary materially from the allowances calculated
as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Management continues to closely monitor its loan relationships for credit losses and will adjust its estimates of
loss and decisions concerning nonaccrual status, if appropriate.
The allowance for credit losses
was $10.3 million and $10.0 million at bothJune March 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.2025, respectively. The allowance equaled 0.84%0.85% of total loans, net of unearned fees and costs
and unamortized fair value adjustments, at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as compared to 0.85% atand December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses is
analyzed quarterly and reviewed by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Regular loan meetings with the Corporation’s Board
of Directors reviewed new loans over specified thresholds. Delinquent loans, loan exceptions and certain large loans are addressed by
the full Board no less than monthly to determine compliance with policies.
The
following tables present the allocation of the allowance for credit losses as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
There were no material changes
to the allowance for credit losses in total or on an individual segment basis from December 31, 2025 to MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The largest changes
on an individual segment basis from December 31, 2025 to MarchJune 31,30, 2026 include a decrease in commercial and industrial loans from $1,037,000,
or 10.4% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2025 to $895,000,$765,000, or 9.0%7.1% of the total allowance, at MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as well as an increase
in commercial real estate loans from $6,148,000, or 61.7% of the total allowance, at December 31, 2025 to $6,323,000,$6,528,000, or 63.4%63.6% of the
total allowance, at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The decrease for commercial and industrial loans is primarily related to the impact of decreases in
non-accrual loans, which impacted probability of default calculations, as well as a reduction in total loan volume. The increase for commercial
real estate loans is primarily related to increases in loan volume and changes in qualitative factors, partially offset by the impact
of lower individually evaluated allowances related to student housing loans due to a decrease in loan balances.
See Note 3 within the Corporation’s
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information
regarding the Corporation’s allowance for credit losses as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Deposits are the primary source
of funds for the Corporation’s lending and investing activities. The Corporation provides a range of deposit services to businesses
and individuals, including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts
and time deposits. These accounts generally earn interest at rates the Corporation establishes based on market factors and the anticipated
amount and timing of funding needs. The establishment or continuity of a core deposit relationship can be a factor in loan pricing decisions.
While the Corporation’s primary focus is on establishing customer relationships to attract core deposits, at times, the Corporation
may use brokered deposits and other wholesale deposits to supplement its funding sources. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Corporation held no
brokered deposits.
The following tables summarize
the average balances outstanding and average interest rates for each major category of deposits for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026
and 2025, respectively:
The Corporation believes its
deposit product offerings are properly structured to attract and retain core low-cost deposit relationships. The average cost of interest-bearing
deposits for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was 2.08% and 2.09%, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 2.09%2.26% and 2.25%, respectively.
At
March 31,June 30, 2026, estimated uninsured deposits, or the portion of deposit accounts which exceeded the Federal Deposit Corporation insurance
limit, totaled $417.0$396.9 million. Of this amount, $149.2$152.8 million was collateralized by securities pledged by the Corporation or letters of
credit issued through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Time deposits of $250,000 or more totaled approximately $109.9$111.0 million
at MarchJune 31,30, 2026.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information
regarding the Corporation’s deposits as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
Short-term borrowings consist
primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and periodic overnight or short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Average
short-term borrowings amounted to 1.1% of total average interest-bearing liabilities for both the three and 4.7%six months ended June 30, 2026. Average short-term borrowings amounted to 2.2% and 3.4% of total average interest-bearing liabilities for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31, 2026 and30, 2025,
respectively. This reduction was primarily related to the migration of customer repurchase agreements as well as a paydown in short-term
FHLB borrowings during 2025 and 2026.
Long-term borrowings consist
of advances due to the FHLB - Pittsburgh. Under terms of a blanket agreement, the loans are secured by certain qualifying assets of the
Bank which consist principally of first mortgage loans. The carrying value of these collateralized items was $821.3$833.5 million at MarchJune 31,
30, 2026. The Bank has lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window, FHLB – Pittsburgh, and Atlantic Community Bankers
Bank in the aggregate amount of $592.2$600.8 million at MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The unused portion of these lines of credit was $545.0$577.0 million at March
31,June 30, 2026.

Management
believes, as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, that Journey Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Management annually
performs stress testing on its regulatory capital levels and expects Journey Bank to maintain capital levels that exceed the regulatory
standards for well-capitalized institutions for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.
The following table reflects the Bank’s actual
capital amounts and ratios at MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Net income for the three months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was $7.2 million, or $2.02$0.67 per share, compared to $4.3$5.8 million, or $1.23$0.54 per share, for the three months ended March
31,June 30, 2025. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $14.3 million, or $1.35 per share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.95 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily
attributable to a significant increase in net interest income as well as a decrease in non-interest expense.income.
Net interest income increased
$2.6 $2.0 million, or 18.6%13.2% to $16.4$16.8 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, from $13.9$14.8 million for the same period in

Net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 15.8% to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $28.7 million for the same period in 2025. Non-interest income was $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.9%, from $4.7 million for the same period in 2025, which primarily reflected increases in gain on settlement of bank-owned life insurance claims and other non-interest income offset by increases in loss on sale of loans and realized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Non-interest expense was $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.6%, from $20.9 million for the same period in 2025, which was primarily related to decreases in salaries and employee benefits partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
For
the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the annualized return on average assets was 1.72%,1.70% and 1.71%, respectively, compared to 1.10%1.44% and 1.27%, respectively for the comparable period
periods of 2025. The annualized return on average equity was 14.83%14.65% and 14.74%, respectively, for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to 10.33%13.33% and 11.85%, respectively, for the

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total cash dividends of $0.642 per share were declared as compared to $0.467 for the same period of 2025, which included the impact of special one-time dividends of $0.333 per share and $0.167 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Tax-equivalent
net interest income increased $2.6$2.0 million, or 18.2%,13.0%, to $16.8$17.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared
to $14.2$15.1 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was due to an increase in tax-equivalent
interest income reflecting higher earning asset volumes and yields, along with a decrease in interest expense which resulted primarily
from a significant decrease in average borrowings coupled with a decrease in the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Tax-equivalent
net interest margin, a key measurement used in the banking industry to measure income from earning assets relative to the cost to
fund those assets, is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by average interest-earning assets. The Corporation’s
tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 5033 basis points to 4.33%4.37% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to 3.83%4.04% for
the same period of 2025, which was largely caused by increases in yields on earning assets along with a decrease in total in cost of funds. Additionally,
interest rate spread, the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets, shown on a fully tax-equivalent basis, and
the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, increased 5436 basis points to 3.81%3.83% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared
to 3.27%3.47% for the same period in 2025.
Tax-equivalent
interest income increased $2.1$1.7 million, or 9.8%,7.9%, to $23.2$23.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $21.1$22.0 million
for the same period in 2025, which was largely caused by growth in average earning assets, coupled with an increase in the tax-equivalent
yield on average earning assets. Average earning assets increased $72.0$67.0 million, or 4.8%,4.5%, to $1.571$1.568 billion for the three months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $1.499$1.501 billion for the same period in 2025, resulting in a corresponding increase to tax-equivalent interest
income of $1.0$0.7 million. Specifically, average loans increased $37.8$29.0 million, or 3.3%,2.5%, to $1.187$1.190 billion for the three months ended
March 31,June 30, 2026 from $1.149$1.161 billion for the same period in 2025, which reflected strong organic loan growth, partially offset by the
loan sale noted above. Total investment securities averaged $348.1$364.5 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, an increase of
$2.1 $34.1 million, or 0.6%,10.3%, compared to $346.0$330.4 million for the same period in 2025. The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets increased 27
19 basis points to 5.99%6.06% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from 5.72%5.87% for the same period in 2025, which resulted in a corresponding

to 6.78% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to 6.63%6.67% for the same period in 2025, resulting in a corresponding increase
in tax-equivalent interest income of $0.5$0.3 million. Meanwhile, the tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased 82
68 basis points to 3.55%3.76% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from 2.73%3.08% for the same period in 2025 and caused a corresponding
increase to tax-equivalent interest income of $0.7 million.
Interest
expense decreased $0.5$0.2 million, or 7.4%,3.3%, to $6.5$6.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $7.0$6.9 million for the same period
in 2025, which was primarily from a significant decrease in average borrowings, coupled with a lower overall cost of funds. Average borrowed
funds, which are largely comprised of customer repurchase agreements and FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, averaged $54.0$25.6 million for
the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, a decrease of $54.0$47.5 million from $108.0$73.1 million for the same period in 2025. Lower volumes of average
borrowed funds resulted in a corresponding decrease in interest expense of $0.6$0.5 million. Total average interest-bearing deposits
increased $97.7$90.8 million, or 9.3%,8.5%, to $1.143$1.164 billion for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to $1.046$1.073 billion for the

31,June 30, 2026, the Corporation's cost of funds decreased 2616 basis points to 2.19%2.24% from 2.45%2.40% for the same period in 2025. The average rate
paid on total borrowings decreased 15 basis pointsincreased to 4.25%9.06% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from 4.40%4.48% for the same period in
2025. The increase in the average rate paid on total borrowings is related to the prepayment of long-term borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2026 discussed above and associated recognition of approximately $0.3 million of remaining unamortized fair value adjustments as a yield adjustment during the period. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits decreased 1618 basis points to 2.09%2.08% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,
30, 2026 from 2.25%2.26% for the same period in 2025, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in interest expense of $0.5$0.6 million.
On a year-to-date basis, tax equivalent net interest income increased $4.54 million, or 15.5%, to $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $29.3 million for the comparable period of 2025. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income for the year-to-date period was largely due to a $3.8 million, or 8.8%, increase in tax equivalent interest income, to $46.9 million, from $43.1 million for 2025, combined with a decrease in interest expense of $0.7 million, or 5.3%, to $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Similar to the quarterly period, the $3.8 million or 8.8%, increase in year-to-date tax equivalent interest income was primarily due to higher earning-asset yields, coupled with an increase in average earning assets balances. The tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets increased 23 basis points to 6.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 5.80% for the same period in 2025, which resulted in a corresponding increase of $2.1 million to tax-equivalent interest income. The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased 13 basis points, while the tax-equivalent yield on investments increased 76 basis points comparing the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, which resulted in corresponding increases in tax-equivalent interest income of $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Regarding earning-asset volumes, total average earning assets increased $69.5 million, or 4.6%, to $1.570 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $1.500 billion for the same period of 2025, which resulted in a corresponding increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $1.7 million. Similar to the quarterly period, this was primarily due to an increase in average total loans which increased $33.3 million, or 2.9%, to $1.189 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $1.156 billion for the same comparable period of 2025, which was primarily as a result of strong organic loan demand. This increase resulted in a corresponding increase in tax-equivalent interest income of $1.1 million.
The $0.7 million, or 5.3%, decrease in year-to-date interest expense was largely due to a significant decrease in average total borrowings. Average borrowed funds averaged $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $50.7 million from $90.4 million for the same period in 2025. Lower volumes of average borrowed funds resulted in a corresponding decrease in interest expense of $1.1 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposit volumes. Comparing the year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025, average interest-bearing deposits increased $94.3 million, or 8.9%, to $1.154 billion from $1.060 billion, respectively, increasing interest expense by $1.2 million.
