Investment securities will at times depreciate to an unrealized loss position. The Company utilizes the following criteria to assess whether impairment is other than temporary. No one item by itself will necessarily signal that a security should be recognized as an other than temporary impairment.

1.	The fair value of the security has significantly declined from book value.

2.	A downgrade has occurred that lowered the credit rating to below investment grade (below Baa3 by Moody and BBB – by Standard and Poors.)

3.	Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.

4.	The underwater security has longer than 10 years to maturity and the loss position had existed for more than 3 years.

5.	Management does not possess both the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

If the impairment is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value, thereby establishing a new cost basis. The new cost basis shall not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The amount of the write down shall be included in current earnings as a realized loss. The recovery in fair value, if any, shall be recognized in earnings when the security is sold. The table below is presented by category of security and length of time in a continuous loss position. The Company currently does not hold any securities with other than temporary impairment.

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, values have only been impacted by rate changes, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the decline in value is primarily due to changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date.

Below are the gross realized gains and losses as of June 30 for each of the years presented.

The net realized gain on sales and related tax expense is a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The net realized gain is included in net gain on sale of securities available-for-sale and the related tax expense is included in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Following are the characteristics and underwriting criteria for each major type of loan the Bank offers:

Commercial Real Estate – Construction, purchase, and refinance of business purpose real estate. Risks discussed during the approval process include construction delays and overruns, vacancies, collateral value subject to market value fluctuations, interest rate, market demands, borrower’s ability to repay in a timely fashion, and others. The Bank does employ stress testing on higher balance loans to mitigate risk by ensuring the customer’s ability to repay in a changing rate environment.

Agricultural Real Estate – Purchase of farm real estate or for permanent improvements to the farm real estate. Cash flow from the farm operation is the repayment source and is therefore subject to the financial success of the farm operation.

Consumer Real Estate – Purchase, refinance, or equity financing of one to four family owner occupied dwelling. Success in repayment is subject to borrower’s income, debt level, character in fulfilling payment obligations, employment, and others.

Commercial and Industrial – Loans to proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations to provide temporary working capital and seasonal loans as well as long term loans for capital asset acquisition. Risks include adequacy of cash flow, reasonableness of projections, financial leverage, economic trends, management ability and estimated capital expenditures during the fiscal year. The Bank does employ stress testing on higher balance loans to mitigate risk by ensuring the customer’s ability to repay in a changing rate environment before granting loan approval.

Agricultural – Loans for the production and housing of crops, fruits, vegetables, and livestock or to fund the purchase or re-finance of capital assets such as machinery and equipment and livestock. The production of crops and livestock is especially vulnerable to commodity prices and weather. The vulnerability to commodity prices is offset by the farmer’s ability to hedge their position by the use of the future contracts. The risk related to weather is often mitigated by requiring federal crop insurance.

Consumer – Funding for individual and family purposes. Success in repayment is subject to borrower’s income, debt level, character in fulfilling payment obligations, employment, and others.

Industrial Development Bonds – Funds for public improvements in the Bank’s service area. Repayment ability is based on the continuance of the taxation revenue as the source of repayment.

LOANS (Continued)

The Bank uses a nine tier risk rating system to grade its loans. The grade of a loan may change during the life of the loan.

The risk ratings are described as follows.

Zero (0) Unclassified. Any loan which has not been assigned a classification.

One (1) Excellent. Credit to premier customers having the highest credit rating based on an extremely strong financial condition, which compares favorably with industry standards (upper quartile of Risk Management Association ratios). Financial statements indicate a sound earnings and financial ratio trend for several years with satisfactory profit margins and excellent liquidity exhibited. Prime credits may also be borrowers with loans fully secured by highly liquid collateral such as traded stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, savings account, etc. No credit or collateral exceptions exist and the loan adheres to the Bank’s loan policy in every respect. Financing alternatives would be readily available and would qualify for unsecured credit. This grade is summarized by high liquidity, minimum risk, strong ratios, and low handling costs.

Two (2) Good. Desirable loans of somewhat less stature than Grade 1, but with strong financial statements. Loan supported by financial statements containing strong balance sheets, generally with a leverage position less than 1.50, and a history of profitability. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. Possessing a sound repayment source (and a secondary source), which would allow repayment in a reasonable period of time. Individual loans backed by liquid personal assets, established history and unquestionable character.

Three (3) Satisfactory. Satisfactory loans of average or slightly above average risk – having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions, but still fully collectible. Projects should normally demonstrate acceptable debt service coverage. Generally, customers should have a leverage position less than 2.00. May be some weakness but with offsetting features of other support readily available. Loans that are meeting the terms of repayment.

Loans may be graded 3 when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:

At inception, the loan was properly underwritten and did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk:

At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss;

The loan exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance;

During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the business is in an industry which is known to be experiencing problems. If any of the credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade is warranted.

Four (4) Satisfactory / Monitored. A “4” (Satisfactory/Monitored) risk grade may be established for a loan considered satisfactory but which is of average credit risk due to financial weakness or uncertainty. The loans warrant a higher than average level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance. The level of risk in Satisfactory/Monitored classification is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given management supervision.

Five (5) Special Mention. Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future. The key distinctions of a 5 (Special Mention) classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential”, versus “defined”, impairments to the primary source of loan repayment and collateral.

Six (6) Substandard. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified substandard:

Loans, which possess a defined credit weakness and the likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source, are uncertain. Financial deterioration is underway and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss.

Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower.

ITEM 1

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 4

LOANS (Continued)

The primary source of repayment is weakened, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees.

Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment.

The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, continues to make interest payments.

The lender is forced into a subordinate position or unsecured collateral position due to flaws in documentation.

Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms.

The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan.

There is significant deterioration in the market conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.

Seven (7) Doubtful. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Doubtful:

Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full based on existing conditions improbable.

The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

The possibility of loss is high, but, because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until its exact status is known. A Doubtful classification is established deferring the realization of the loss.

Eight (8) Loss. Loans are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the institution’s financial statements is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no TDRs that subsequently defaulted after modification.

For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, the Bank will apply the fair value of collateral or use a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine fair value of collateral, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time of re-evaluation is every 12 months for chattels and titled vehicles and every two years for real estate. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained. Until such time that updated appraisals are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.

The Bank uses the following guidelines as stated in policy to determine when to realize a charge-off, whether a partial or full loan balance. A charge-off in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquent, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of the collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial and agricultural credits are charged down at 120 days delinquency, unless an established and approved work-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-off may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula under which earnings per share is calculated from common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings distributed and undistributed, are allocated to participating securities and common shares based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities (i.e. unvested restricted stock), not subject to performance based measures. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Application of the two-class method for participating securities results a more dilutive basic earnings per share as the participating securities are allocated the same amount of income as if they are outstanding for purposes of basic earnings per share. There is no additional potential dilution in calculating diluted earnings per share, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amounts. Other than the restricted stock plan, the Company has no other stock based compensation plans.

FAIR VALUE OF INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values of financial instruments are management’s estimate of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets are not considered financial assets including deferred tax assets, premises, equipment and intangibles. Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

The following assumptions and methods were used in estimating the fair value for financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold approximate their fair values. Also included in this line item are the carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days which approximate their fair values. Fair values of other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.

ITEM 1

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 6

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Interest Bearing Time Deposits

Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Securities – Available-for-sale

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Farmer Mac stock, are based on quoted market price, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Other Securities

The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Farmer Mac stock, listed as “other securities”, approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans, net

For those variable-rate loans that re-price frequently, and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of the fixed rate and all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair value for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The carrying value of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates fair values.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter-parties’ credit standing.

FHLB Advances

Fair values or FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types or borrowing arrangements.

Fair Value Measurements

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Available-for-sale securities, when quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are valued using the quoted price and are classified as Level 1.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Available-for-sale securities classified as Level 2 are valued using the prices obtained from an independent pricing service. The prices are not adjusted. Securities of obligations of state and political subdivisions are valued using a type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit rating. Substantially all assumptions used by the independent pricing service are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. The Bank holds some local municipals that the Bank evaluates based on the credit strength of the underlying project. The fair value is determined by valuing similar credit payment streams at similar rates.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

Most of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, including any bonds issued by local municipalities, have CUSIP numbers or have similar characteristics of those in the municipal markets, making them marketable and comparable as Level 2.

The Company also has assets that, under certain conditions, are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, such assets consist primarily of collateral dependent impaired loans. Collateral dependent impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogeneous loans that are considered impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals.)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans categorized as Level 3 were $0.4 and $0.5 million, respectively. The specific allocation for impaired loans was $217 and $330 thousand as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which are accounted for in the allowance for loan losses (see Note 4).

Other real estate is reported at either the lower of the fair value of the real estate minus the estimated costs to sell the asset or the cost of the asset. The determination of fair value of the real estate relies primarily on appraisals from third parties. If the fair value of the real estate, minus the estimated costs to sell the asset, is less than the asset’s cost, the deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance against the asset through a charge to expense. The valuation allowance is therefore increased or decreased, through charges or credits to expense, for changes in the asset’s fair value or estimated selling costs.

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements:


	Fair Value at June 30, 2016		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range (Weighted Average)

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Loan growth continued to drive improvement in the net interest income of the Company. It also translated into an improved bottom line even with the increased provision for loan losses expense. All major lines of loan business reported growth. Consumer loans also experienced strong growth through the first half of 2016. Automobile loans lead the improvement as area dealers also reported increased levels of sales. One-to four family residential mortgage loan activity increased as long term interest rates remain at low levels. Regulatory requirements have lengthened the time for a loan to close from when the application is taken.

The agricultural market is facing a tougher environment this season with lower commodity prices and higher input prices. Many farmers are working with decreasing working capital which is both beneficial and slightly worrisome for the Bank. However, it is important to note, that the Bank’s observation is that while working capital is decreasing, most farms are still operating with sufficient working capital. Tighter profit margins are impacting used equipment valuations, purchases and sales. Land prices have decreased slightly with the greater fluctuations in the lower quality land.

OVERVIEW (Continued)

Unemployment rates continue to improve throughout the Company’s market area. Manufacturing activity remains similar to last year. Low gas prices continue to help the local economies. Competition remains challenging in the commercial market, especially for the well performing larger balance customers.

Loan growth drove the improvement in net interest income as compared to last year and was the driving factor for the increased loan loss provision. Noninterest income also strengthened and net income after taxes ended the first half 2016 10.25% above first half 2015. The 8.9% increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, and a 5.7% increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 5.4% increase in noninterest expense, resulted in a 10.3% increase in earnings per share for the 2016 half as compared to 2015’s first half.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is a financial holding company incorporated under the laws of Ohio in 1985. Our subsidiaries are, The Farmers & Merchants State Bank (Bank), a community bank operating in Northwest Ohio since 1897 and Farmers & Merchants Risk Management, Inc., a captive insurance company formed in December 2014 and is located in Nevada. We report our financial condition and net income on a consolidated basis and we have only one segment.

Our executive offices are located at 307 North Defiance Street, Archbold, Ohio 43502, and our telephone number is (419) 446-2501.

The Bank opened an additional office during April of 2016 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The office is located within the corporation limits of Huntertown, with a Fort Wayne address. The Bank has continued its expansion strategy and the new office is expected to provide new growth opportunities. The doors officially opened on April 7^th.

The Bank is currently preparing to open its twenty-fourth location in Bowling Green, Ohio. The office is expected to open during the third quarter. It will be the second leased office and is being renovated to meet the Bank’s needs.

The Farmers & Merchants State Bank engages in general commercial banking and savings business including commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage, consumer and credit card lending activities. The largest segment of the lending business relates to commercial, both real estate and non-real estate. The type of commercial business ranges from small business to multi-million dollar companies. The loans are a reflection of business located within the Banks’ market area. Because the Bank’s offices are located in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana, a substantial amount of the loan portfolio is comprised of loans made to customers in the farming industry for such items as farm land, farm equipment, livestock and operating loans for seed, fertilizer, and feed. Other types of lending activities include loans for home improvements, and loans for the purchase of autos, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and other consumer goods.

The Bank also provides checking account services, as well as savings and time deposit services such as certificates of deposits. In addition. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are provided at most branch locations along with other independent locations such as major employers and hospitals in the market area. The Bank has custodial services for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) . The Bank provides on-line banking access for consumer and business customers. For consumers, this includes bill-pay, on-line statement opportunities and mobile banking. For business customers, it provides the option of electronic transaction origination such as wire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) file transmittal. In addition, the Bank offers remote deposit capture or electronic deposit processing and merchant credit card services. Mobile banking was added in 2012 and has been widely accepted and used by consumers. Over the past couple of years, the Bank has updated its consumer offerings with “Secure” and “Pure” checking in 2014 and with KASASA Cash Bank in 2015. Upgrades to our digital products and services continue to occur in both retail and business lines.

The Bank has established underwriting policies and procedures which facilitate operating in a safe and sound manner in accordance with supervisory and regulatory guidance. Within this sphere of safety and soundness, the Bank’s practice has been to not promote innovative, unproven credit products which may not be in the best interest of the Bank or its customers. The Bank does offer a hybrid mortgage loan. Hybrid loans are loans that start out as a fixed rate mortgage but after a set number of years automatically adjust to an adjustable rate mortgage. The Bank offers a three year fixed

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES (Continued)

rate mortgage after which the interest rate will adjust annually. The majority of the Bank’s adjustable rate mortgages are of this type. In order to offer longer term fixed rate mortgages, the Bank does participate in the Freddie Mac, Farmer Mac and Small Business Lending programs. The Bank also normally retains the servicing rights on these partially or 100% sold loans. In order for the customer to participate in these programs they must meet the requirements established by those agencies. In addition, the Bank does sell some of its longer term fixed rate agricultural mortgages into the secondary market with the aid of a broker.

The Bank does not have a program to fund sub-prime loans. Sub-prime loans are characterized as a lending program or strategy that targets borrowers who pose a significantly higher risk of default than traditional retail banking customers.

All loan requests are reviewed as to credit worthiness and are subject to the Bank’s underwriting guidelines as to secured versus unsecured credit. Secured loans are in turn subject to loan to value (LTV) requirements based on collateral types as set forth in the Bank’s Loan Policy. In addition, credit scores of principal borrowers are reviewed and an approved exception from an additional officer is required should a credit score not meet the Bank’s Loan Policy guidelines.

Consumer Loans:

•

Maximum loan to value (LTV) for cars, trucks and light trucks vary from 90% to 110% depending on whether direct or indirect.

•

Loans above 100% are generally due to additional charges for extended warranties and/or insurance coverage periods for wage or death.

•

Boats, campers, motorcycles, RV’s and Motor Coaches range from 80%-90% based on age of vehicle.

•

1st or 2nd mortgages on 1-4 family homes range from 75%-90% with “in-house” first real estate mortgages requiring private mortgage insurance on those exceeding 80% LTV

•

The Bank will only make Qualified Mortgages as defined by the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z.

•

Raw land LTV maximum ranges from 65%-75% depending on whether or not the property has been improved.

Commercial/Agriculture/Real Estate:

•

Maximum LTVs range from 70%-80% depending on type.

•

Accounts Receivable: Up to 80% LTV.

Inventory:

F&M Investment Services, the brokerage department of the Bank, opened for business in April, 1999. Securities are offered through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

In December of 2014, the Company became a financial holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 as amended (the “Act”), in order to provide the flexibility to take advantage of the expanded powers available to a financial holding company under the Act. Our subsidiary bank is in turn regulated and examined by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The activities of our bank subsidiary are also subject to other federal and state laws and regulations. The Company also formed a captive insurance company (the “captive”) in December 2014 which is located in Nevada and regulated by the State of Nevada Division of Insurance. To enable the formation of the captive, the Company’s status was changed to a financial holding company from a bank holding company.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES (Continued)

The Bank’s primary market includes communities located in the Ohio counties of Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Williams, Wood and in the Indiana counties of DeKalb and Steuben. In the first half of 2016 the Bank added the Indiana county of Allen to its service area with the opening of its newly constructed office in Fort Wayne. The commercial banking business in this market is highly competitive, with approximately 17 other depository institutions currently doing business in the Bank’s primary market. In our banking activities, we compete directly with other commercial banks, credit unions, farm credit services, and savings and loan institutions in each of our operating localities. In a number of our locations, we compete against entities which are much larger than us. The primary factors in competing for loans and deposits are the rates charged as well as location and quality of the services provided.

At June 30, 2016, we had 269 full time equivalent employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We provide our employees with a comprehensive benefit program, some of which are contributory. We consider our employee relations to be good.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

The Bank has been attentive to the significant final mortgage rules, revisions to the rules, and additional guidance issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provisions. Effective in January 2014, these rules have altered the landscape for the entire mortgage lending industry. The Bank continues to test, train, validate results, and review the applicable requirements of these new mortgage rules to enhance knowledge and understanding. The TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules which were originally to be effective on August 1, 2015 were subsequently postponed until October 3, 2015. Bank staff worked closely with the Mortgage Loan Origination software vendor and diligently strived to achieve TRID compliance as of the October 2015 effective date. The vendor has been attentive to the key regulatory requirements and receptive to its individual clients’ needs. Further changes and enhancements to the loan origination software have served to better accommodate documentation needs and compliance strategies. Bank staff has continued outreach efforts with real estate agents, attorneys, and closing agents to further cultivate collaboration and attain TRID compliance, and thus minimize the impact of these regulatory changes on home loan borrowers. Due to the complexities of the new TRID rules, the lack of clarity or guidance involving various provisions, and the lingering uncertainties regarding liability, remaining attentive to industry questions and concerns to ensure full compliance remains an ongoing priority. The Bank has committed to make good faith efforts in compliance with the technical requirements of the TRID rules. The industry currently awaits an upcoming Proposed Rule announced in April 2016 by the CFPB which is intended to resolve places in the regulation text and commentary where it believes adjustments would be useful for greater certainty and clarity.

The Company has implemented Basel III capital rules which began to be phased in for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules may impact the ability of some financial institutions to pay dividends, though the Company believes itself to be able to maintain its strong capital position and not be limited in that regard.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company follows general practices within the financial services industry in which it operates. At times the application of these principles requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. As this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different assumptions, estimates and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on assumptions, estimates and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Examples of critical assumptions, estimates and judgments are when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not required to be recorded at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability must be recorded contingent upon a future event. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the management discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations, provide information on

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (Continued)

how significant assets and liabilities are valued and how those values are determined for the financial statements. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to assumptions, estimates, and judgments underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the ALLL, the valuation of its Mortgage Servicing Rights and the valuation of reals estate acquired through or in lieu of, loan foreclosures (“OREO Property”) as the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

OREO Property held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Foreclosed real estate for sale is carried at the lower of fair value minus estimated costs to sell, or cost. Costs of holding foreclosed real estate are charged to expense in the current period, except for significant property improvements, which are capitalized. Valuations are periodically performed by management and a write-down is recorded by a charge to non-interest expense if the carrying value exceeds the fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Foreclosed real estate is classified as OREO Property. The net income from operations of foreclosed real estate held for sale is reported in non-interest income or non-interest expense determined by whether in a gain or loss position overall. At June 30, 2016, holdings were $1.3 million and were $1.2 million as of December 31, 2015 and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2015.

The ALLL and ACL represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, unfunded loan commitments, and letters of credit at the report date. The ALLL methodology is regularly reviewed for its appropriateness and is approved annually by the Board of Directors. This written methodology is consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which provides for a consistently applied analysis.

The Bank’s methodology provides an estimate of the probable credit losses either by calculating a specific loss per credit or by applying a composite of historical factors over a relevant period of time with current internal and external factors which may affect credit collectability. Such factors which may influence estimated losses are the conditions of the local and national economy, local unemployment trends, and abilities of lending staff, valuation trends of fixed assets, and trends in credit delinquency, classified credits, and credit losses.

Inherent in most estimates is imprecision. The Bank’s ALLL provides a margin for imprecision with an unallocated portion. Bank regulatory agencies and external auditors periodically review the Bank’s methodology and adequacy of the ALLL. Any required changes in the ALLL or loan charge-offs by these agencies or auditors may have a material effect on the ALLL.

The Company is required to estimate the value of its Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company recognizes as separate assets rights to service fixed rate single-family mortgage loans that it has sold without recourse but services for others for a fee. Mortgage servicing assets are initially recorded at cost, based upon pricing multiples as determined by the purchaser, when the loans are sold. Mortgage servicing assets are carried at the lower of the initial carrying value, adjusted for amortization, or estimated fair value. Amortization is determined in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income using the level yield method. For purposes of determining impairment, the mortgage servicing assets are stratified into like groups based on loan type, term, new versus seasoned and interest rate. The valuation is completed by an independent third party.

The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the potential for the impairment of the value of mortgage servicing assets. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced.

The Company’s mortgage servicing rights relating to loans serviced for others represent an asset of the company. This asset is initially capitalized and included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The mortgage servicing rights are then amortized against noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying mortgage servicing rights. The amortization thereof is recorded in non-interest expense. There are a number of factors, however, that can affect the ultimate value of the mortgage servicing rights to the Company, including the estimated prepayment speed of the loan and the discount rate used to present value the servicing right. For example, if the mortgage loan is prepaid, the Company will receive fewer servicing fees,

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (Continued)

meaning that the present value of the mortgage servicing rights is less than the carrying value of those rights on the Company’s balance sheet. Therefore, in an attempt to reflect an accurate expected value to the Company of the mortgage servicing rights, the Company receives a valuation of its mortgage servicing rights from an independent third party. The independent third party’s valuation of the mortgage servicing rights is based on relevant characteristics of the Company’s loan servicing portfolio, such as loan terms, interest rates and recent national prepayment experience, as well as current national market interest rate levels, market forecasts and other economic conditions. Management, with the advice from its third party valuation firm, reviewed the assumptions related to prepayment speeds, discount rates, and capitalized mortgage servicing income on a quarterly basis. Changes are reflected in the following quarter’s analysis related to the mortgage servicing asset. In addition, based upon the independent third party’s valuation of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights, management then establishes a valuation allowance by each strata, if necessary, to quantify the likely impairment of the value of the mortgage servicing rights to the Company. The estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates are inherently uncertain, and different estimates could have a material impact on the Company’s net income and results of operations. The valuation allowance is evaluated and adjusted quarterly by management to reflect changes in the fair value of the underlying mortgage servicing rights based on market conditions. The accuracy of these estimates and assumptions by management and its third party valuation specialist can be directly tied back to the fact that management has only been required to record minor valuation allowances through its income statement over time based upon the valuation of each stratum of servicing rights. For more information regarding the estimates and calculations used to establish the ALLL and the value of Mortgage Servicing Rights, please see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements provided herewith.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company ended March 31, 2016 with its total asset balance over a billion dollars. It represented a new record high in the Company’s 119 year history. The Bank did not reach a billion dollars in total assets until the quarter ending, June 30, 2016. The Company plans to continue in its growth mode with the addition of the Bank’s 23^rd office which opened April 7, 2016 in Indiana, making it the fourth office in the state. The Bank will also add its 24th office in the third quarter with a leased office in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Liquidity in terms of cash and cash equivalents ended almost $1.4 million higher as of June 30, 2016 than it was at yearend December 31, 2015. Decreased securities along with increased deposits funded the $45.4 million in increase in net loans for the first half of 2016. Loan growth occurred in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, agricultural real estate and agricultural, consumer real estate and consumer portfolios. The only portfolio with a decrease was industrial development bonds (“IDB”), which decreased just $539 thousand in aggregate.

In comparing to the same period, prior year, the June 30, 2016 record loan balances of $731.7 million increased 17.9% compared to $620.6 million. The year over year improvement was made up of a 28.0% increase in commercial real estate loans, a 16.6% increase in agricultural real estate loans, a12.2% increase in non-real estate agricultural loans and a 9.5% increase in commercial and industrial loans. Consumer real estate expanded during the second quarter to end with a 2.6% higher balance than the previous June 2015. The only portfolio which experienced a reduction was IDB, which decreased by 20.1%. While this percentage seems high, the decrease amounted to only $1.5 million in aggregate. The Company credits the growth to a strong team of lenders focused on providing customers valuable localized services and thereby increasing our market share.

As mentioned previously, the security portfolio was utilized to fund loan growth in both 2015 and the first half 2016. The security portfolio decreased $18.1 million in the first half 2016 from yearend 2015 and is lower by $36.5 million from June 30, 2015. The current portfolio is in a net unrealized gain position of $1.6 million. With the exception of stock, which is shown as other securities, all of the Company’s security portfolio is categorized as “available for sale” and as such is recorded at fair value.

Management feels confident that liquidity needs for future growth can be met through additional run-off and/or sales from the security portfolio, increased deposits and additional borrowings. For short term needs, the Bank has $91.2 million of unsecured borrowing capacity through its correspondent banks.

Overall assets grew 3.3% since yearend 2015 and 8.4% since June 30, 2015. The largest growth was in the loan portfolios.

Deposits accounted for the largest growth within liabilities, up 4.1% or $31.5 million since yearend and 5.4% or $41.2 million over June 30, 2015 balances. Core deposits continue to drive the increase which provide the greatest benefit for both lower cost of funds and the opportunity to generate additional noninterest income. When comparing to a year ago, other borrowed money increased $10 million as the borrowings took place during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Federal Funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $18.0 million when comparing June 30, 2016 balances to June 30, 2015. This category decreased by $2.9 million when comparing June 30, 2016 to December 31, 2015. Borrowings from FHLB aided in the first half decrease as these replaced $10 million of Fed Funds purchased.

Capital increased $4.8 million during the first half of 2016, as earnings exceeded dividend declarations. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased in gain position $1.4 million which encompassed the shift of $456 thousand from unrealized gain to realized gain with the sale of securities since yearend 2015. Dividends paid year-to-date differed by $85.0 thousand from the same period last year.

The beginning of the Basel III capital rule applies in 2016. The Bank and Company include a capital conservation buffer as a part of the transition provision. For calendar year 2016, the applicable required capital conservation buffer percentage of 0.625% is the base above which institutions avoid limitations on distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments. The total buffer requirement will increase to 2.5% for calendar year 2019. As of June 30, 2016, the Company and the Bank are both positioned well above the 2019 requirement.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results of Operation for three month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and March 31, 2016.

The second quarter 2016 had an increase of $103 million in net average loan growth over the average balances of second quarter 2015. This represents a strong 18% increase in one year. The benefits of these higher loan balances can be seen in interest income from loans, as it was $1.2 million higher for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, over the same time period in 2015. The higher levels of loan interest income helped to offset the available-for-sale securities portfolio, which decreased $103 thousand in 2^nd quarter interest income from 2015 to 2016. Overall, interest income was up $1.1 million for the second quarter 2016 versus 2015.

When comparing second quarter 2016 to first quarter 2016, average loan balances grew $27.8 million over the three month period. Loan interest income was up $356 thousand in the most recent quarter, as a reflection of this increase. Additionally, interest income from available-for-sale securities showed an increase of $26 thousand for the quarter, as the quarterly purchases resulted in higher yields although average balances were $4.2 million lower at June 30.

For the 3 months ended June 30, 2016, annualized interest income and yield on earning assets was up 14 basis points, as compared to June 30, 2015. As demonstrated in the following table, the increased volume of loans helped to offset the lower volume in the available-for-sales security portfolio.

The yields on tax-exempt securities and the portion of the tax-exempt IDB loans included in loans have been tax adjusted based on a 34% tax rate in the charts to follow.

Offsetting some of the increases in interest income for the quarter was the increase in cost of funds in 2016. Second quarter 2016 was higher by $176 thousand than second quarter 2015. Since 2015, average interest-bearing deposit balances have increased $54 million and resulted in $77 thousand more in interest expense for the most recent quarter. Additionally, interest expense on Fed Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase and FHLB borrowings was up $99 thousand in the second quarter 2016 over the same time frame in 2015.

In comparing second quarter 2016 to first quarter 2016, interest expense increased $51 thousand. Interest expense on deposits increased $31 thousand, as average balances were $22 million higher for the second quarter.

Overall, net interest spread and net interest margin figures for the second quarter 2016 are higher than last year. As the chart below illustrates, higher yields on interest and dividend income offset the higher interest expense in the most recent quarter.

Since the first quarter this year, net interest margin is up two basis points. The interest/dividend yield was up two basis points, and the interest expense cost remained flat.

Net interest income was up $922 thousand for the second quarter 2016 over the same time frame in 2015 due to the increase in loan interest income and partially offset by higher interest expense, as previously mentioned. There has also been a $332 thousand increase in net interest income over first quarter 2016. As the new loans added in 2016 generate more income, management expects the benefits of the Company’s strategy of repositioning the balance sheet to continue to widen this margin.

Noninterest income was up $185 thousand for the second quarter 2016 over the same time frame in 2015. The Company has seen an increase in its mortgage production volume, and as such the gain on the sale of these loans was $61 thousand for the second quarter 2016 over the same period in 2015. The Company also took advantage of market fluctuations in its available-for-sale portfolio and sales on securities were $206 thousand higher in the most recent quarter than the same quarter prior year.

Noninterest income for the second quarter 2016 also shows improvement over the first quarter by $214 thousand. Increases in gain on sale of loans of $65 thousand and gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $230 thousand were partially offset by decreases in customer service fees of $170 thousand.

Total provision for loan losses was $156 thousand higher for the second quarter 2016 as compared to the same quarter 2015. Loan growth warranted a higher provision expense be taken in 2016 than in 2015. Management continues to monitor asset quality, making adjustments to the provision as necessary. Loan charge-offs were $355 thousand lower in second quarter 2016 than the same quarter 2015, recoveries decreased $254 thousand. Past due loans decreased $1.3 million from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2015, the bulk of which came from the commercial real estate portfolio. No new loans were categorized as TDR during the quarter, and no TDR loans defaulted during the quarter.

Since the first quarter 2016, past due loans have decreased by $675 thousand. Net charge-offs increased $90 thousand, and recoveries increased $7 thousand. Provision expense was increased an additional $62 thousand in the second quarter over first quarter, as loan volumes continued to increase during the second quarter.

The following table breaks down the activity within the ALLL for each loan portfolio class and shows the contribution provided by both recoveries and the provision, along with the reduction of the allowance caused by charge-offs. The time period covered is for three months ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014.
