Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “Juniata”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank (the “Bank” or “JVB”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to material change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses and possible impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated statement of financial condition date of June 30, 2024 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilutive effect on EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock, increasing the total number of shares outstanding. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

5. SECURITIES

Equity Securities

Equity securities owned by the Company consist of common stock of various financial services providers. ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities requires all equity securities within its scope to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company had $1.1 million in equity securities recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded a net gain of $9,000 and a net loss of $4,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and net losses of $42,000 and $64,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity securities during the applicable periods.

Debt Securities

Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities that are not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company’s debt securities portfolio includes primarily bonds issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises (approximately 17% of the investment portfolio), mortgage-backed securities issued by Government-sponsored entities and backed by residential mortgages (approximately 75%), corporate debt securities (approximately 6%) and municipal bonds (approximately 2%) as of June 30, 2024. Most of the municipal bonds are general obligation bonds with maturities or pre-refunding dates within 5 years.

At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, excluding securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies, the Company had holdings of securities from two issuers in excess of 10% of stockholders’ equity; holdings in Federal Farm Credit Bank and Pennsylvania Housing Finance securities had fair values of $11.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024, and $11.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown in the tables below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the securities may be called or prepaid, with or without prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

Certain obligations of the U.S. Government and state and political subdivisions, as well as mortgage-backed securities are pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The carrying value of the pledged assets was $176.9 million and $192.1 million on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In addition to cash received from the scheduled maturities of investment securities, some securities available for sale are sold or called at current market values during normal operations. There wereno sales of securities in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

At June 30, 2024, three obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, seven obligations of state and political subdivisions, nine corporate debt securities, andthirty-three mortgage-backed securities available for sale had unrealized losses, all of which have been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. The mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio are government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) pass-through instruments issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), which guarantees the timely payment of principal on these investments.

ASC 326 made targeted changes to the accounting for credit losses on securities available for sale. The concept of other-than-temporarily impaired securities was replaced with the allowance for credit losses. Unlike held to maturity debt securities, available for sale securities are evaluated on an individual level and pooling of securities is not allowed.

For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available for sale that do not meet the criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating

agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as credit loss expense (or reversal). Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. As of June 30, 2024, management determined that an immaterial credit loss existed because the decline in fair value of the available for sale debt securities was mostly attributable to changes in interest rates and other market conditions, rather than erosion of issuer credit quality and, as a result, timely payment of contractual cash flows, including principal and interest, has continued and is not considered at risk.

Credit Quality Indicators

All of the Company’s held to maturity debt securities are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, except for the Federal Farm Credit Bank securities, but all are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for these securities as of June 30, 2024.

The Company monitors the credit quality of held to maturity debt securities using credit ratings. The credit ratings are sourced from nationally recognized rating agencies. All held to maturity debt securities were current in their payment of principal and interest as of June 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost of held to maturity debt securities aggregated by credit quality indicator based on the latest information available as of June 30, 2024.

6. LOANS AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Loans that the Company originated and has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs and the allowance for credit losses. Interest income on all loans, other than nonaccrual loans, is accrued over the term of the loans based on the amount of principal outstanding. Unearned income is amortized to income over the life of the loans, using the interest method.

The loan portfolio includes the following classes: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural; (2) real estate – commercial; (3) real estate – construction; (4) real estate – mortgage; (5) obligations of states and political subdivisions; and (6) personal loans.

The Company originates loans in the portfolio with the intent to hold them until maturity. Should the Company no longer intend to hold loans to maturity based on asset/liability management practices, the Company transfers loans from its portfolio to held for sale at fair value. Any write-down recorded upon transfer is charged against the allowance for credit

losses. Any write-downs recorded after the initial transfers are recorded as a charge to other non-interest expense. Gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in gains on sales of loans, which is a component of non-interest income.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company has originated residential mortgage loans with the intent to sell. These individual loans are normally sold to the buyer immediately. The Company maintains servicing rights on these loans.

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Under the fair value measurement method, the Company measures servicing rights at fair value at each reporting date and reports changes in fair value of servicing assets in earnings in the period in which the changes occur, which are included with mortgage banking income on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to fluctuations because of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement as mortgage banking income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)

The Company adopted ASU 2013-13 on January 1, 2023 to calculate the ACL, which requires a projection of credit losses estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a loan modification will be executed with an individual borrower, or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan. The ACL is adjusted through the provision for credit losses and reduced by net charge offs of loans.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of certain macro-economic variables. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, lending personnel, delinquency trends, credit concentrations, loan review results, changes in collateral values, as well as the impact of changes in the regulatory and business environment or other relevant factors.

The Company utilizes the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method to analyze most loan segments, particularly loan segments with longer average lives and regular payment structures, as it allows for the effective incorporation of a reasonable and supportable forecast in a directionally consistent and objective manner. The DCF model has two key components; a loss driver analysis combined with a cash flow analysis. The contractual cash flow is adjusted for probability of default/loss given defaults (“PD/LGD”) and prepayment speed to establish a reserve level. The prepayment and curtailment studies are updated quarterly by a third-party for each applicable pool of loans. The Company estimates losses over a four quarter forecast period using Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) estimates for real GDP and unemployment rate. Based on the final values in the forecast and the uncertainty of a post-pandemic economic recovery, management has elected to revert to historical loss experience over four quarters. The economic factors considered as part of the ACL were selected after a rigorous regression analysis and model selection process. Additionally, the Company uses reasonable credit risk assumptions based on an annual report produced by Moody’s for the obligations of states and political subdivisions segment.

The Weighted Average Remaining Life (“WARM”) method is used to analyze the personal loan segment, which includes revolving credit plans, automobile loans and other consumer loans, because this segment contains loans with many different structures, payment streams and collateral. The WARM method uses an average annual charge-off rate applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for estimated prepayments to determine the unadjusted historical charge-off rate for the remaining balance of assets.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods:

​​​​​
Portfolio Segments​Methodology​Loss Drivers
Commercial, financial and agricultural​DCF​National unemployment
Real estate - commercial​DCF​National unemployment & national GDP
Real estate - construction:​​​​
1-4 family residential construction​DCF​National unemployment & national GDP
Other construction loans​DCF​National unemployment & national GDP
Real estate - mortgage​DCF​National unemployment & national GDP
Obligations of states and political subdivisions​DCF​Moody's report
Personal​Remaining Life​Call report loss history

According to ASC 326, an entity may make an accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable if the entity writes off the applicable accrued interest receivable balance in a timely manner. The Company has made the accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable for all loan segments. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when the payment of principal or interest is in doubt or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest, except for loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest is reversed from current income.

ASC 326 requires the Company to establish a liability for anticipated credit losses for unfunded commitments. To accomplish this, the Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $55.0 million in unfunded commitments and $369,000 in anticipated credit losses in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $56.0 million in unfunded commitments and $419,000 in anticipated credit losses in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as opposed to in the ACL. Provisions to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments are recorded as other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The determination of the ACL is complex, and the Company makes decisions on the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Evaluations of the loan portfolio and individual credits require certain estimates, assumptions and judgements as to the facts and circumstances related to particular situations or credits. There may be significant changes in the ACL in future periods determined by factors prevailing at that point in time along with future forecasts.

Risks associated with each portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending:

The Company originates commercial, financial and agricultural loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes, which include short-term loans and lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is shorter and does not exceed the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment. Most business lines of credit are written with a five year maturity, subject to an annual credit review.

Commercial loans are generally secured with short-term assets; however, in many cases, additional collateral, such as real estate, is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals and other methods.

In underwriting commercial loans, the Company performs an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral and conditions affecting the borrower. Evaluation of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.

Concentration analysis assists in identifying industry specific risk inherent in commercial, financial and agricultural lending. Mitigants include the identification of secondary and tertiary sources of repayment and appropriate increases in oversight.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions.

Real Estate - Commercial Lending:

The Company engages in real estate - commercial lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s real estate - commercial portfolio is secured primarily by residential housing, commercial buildings, raw land and hotels. Generally, real estate - commercial loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

As economic conditions deteriorate, the Company reduces its exposure in real estate loans with higher risk characteristics. In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Real estate - commercial loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions.

Real Estate - Construction Lending:

The Company engages in real estate - construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s real estate - construction lending consists of 1-4 family residential construction loans and other construction loans, which are construction loans for purposes other than constructing 1-4 family residential properties such as land development and commercial building construction loans.

The Company’s 1-4 family residential construction loans are loans for constructing 1-4 family residential properties, which will secure the loan. Other construction loans are generally secured with the subject property, and advances are made in

conformity with a pre-determined draw schedule supported by independent inspections. Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as estimated absorption rates and estimated time to complete.

In underwriting real estate - construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history and, when applicable, the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data and other resources. Most appraisals on properties securing real estate - construction loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Real estate - construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions. The difficulty of estimating total construction costs adds to the risk as well.

Real Estate - Mortgage Lending:

The Company’s real estate - mortgage portfolio is comprised of 1-4 family residential mortgages and business loans secured by 1-4 family properties. One-to-four family residential mortgage loan originations, including home equity installment and home equity lines of credit loans, are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers and referrals. These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable rate real estate - mortgage loans with a term up to a maximum of 25-years for both permanent structures and those under construction. The Company’s 1-4 family residential mortgage originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. Most of the Company’s residential real estate - mortgage loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. Home equity installment loans are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 80% and a maximum term of 15 years. Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.

In underwriting 1-4 family residential real estate loans, the Company evaluates the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments, the borrower’s repayment history and the value of the property securing the loan. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions and credit background. The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security. Most properties securing real estate loans made by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers. The Company generally requires mortgage loan borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. The Company does not engage in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.

Residential mortgage loans and home equity loans generally present a lower level of risk than certain other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Risk is increased when the Company is in a subordinate position for the loan collateral.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions:

The Company lends to local municipalities and other tax-exempt organizations. These loans are primarily tax-anticipation notes and, as such, carry minimal risk. Historically, the Company has never had a loss on any loan of this type.

Personal Lending:

The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including vehicle loans, mobile home loans and loans secured by savings deposits as well as other types of personal loans.

Personal loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. In underwriting personal loans, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial condition and credit background.

Personal loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of personal loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or recreational equipment. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted personal loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, personal loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

There wereno consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Charge-offs will occur when a confirmed loss is identified. Professional appraisals of collateral, discounted for expected selling costs, appraisal age, economic conditions and other known factors, are used to determine the charge-off amount.

Under ASC 326, loans that do not share risk characteristics are not evaluated collectively and are instead individually evaluated. When management determines foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans and collateral type as of June 30, 2024.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest. However, it is the Company’s policy to continue to accrue interest on loans over 90 days past due if (1) they are guaranteed or well secured and (2) there is an effective means of timely collection in process.

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed against current period income, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for credit losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, accruals are resumed on loans only when the obligation is brought fully current with respect to interest and principal, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The Company’s nonaccrual and charge-off policies are the same, regardless of the loan type.

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status, including nonaccrual status loans with no allowance, and loans past due over 89 days still accruing as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(1)These loans are guaranteed, or well-secured, and there is an effective means of collection in process.

The decline in nonaccrual real estate – commercial loans with no allowance for credit losses was due to the pay-off of a participated loan during the first quarter of 2024. The Company recognized $63,000 in interest income on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loans receivable as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. Past due status is determined by the contractual terms of the loan. The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio, summarized by the past due status as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(1)Loans are considered past due when the borrower is in arrears on two or more monthly payments.

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial difficulty by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-then-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses. In some cases, the Company may provide multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. There were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023 and, as such, there were no payment defaults on loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

If the Company determines a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans to commercial customers with an aggregate loan exposure greater than $500,000 and for lines of credit more than $50,000. This analysis is performed on a continuing basis, with all such loans reviewed annually. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Loans in this category are reviewed no less than quarterly.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans in this category are reviewed no less than monthly.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, highly questionable and improbable based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. Loans in this category are reviewed no less than monthly.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company maintains the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); the Plan amended and restated the former 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The Plan continues in effect for any outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions governing such awards immediately prior to the effective date of the Plan. The Plan expanded the types of awards authorized by the 2011 Plan to include, among others, restricted stock. Under the provisions of the Plan, awards may consist of grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance shares to officers and key employees of the Company, as well as directors. The Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 300,000 shares and 177,100 shares remained available for grant as of June 30, 2024. Shares of common stock issued under the Plan may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Forfeited awards are returned to the pool of shares available for grant for future awards.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2024,9,628 restricted shares were awarded to certain officers and all directors. Each of the awards vest after three-years, with no interim vesting. As of June 30, 2024, there was $230,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested restricted stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting period through February 2027.

Compensation expense for stock options granted and restricted stock awarded is measured using the fair value of the award on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 of $36,000 and $70,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $39,000 and $71,000, respectively.

The following table presents a summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2024. Changes during the period then ended are presented further below:

​​​​​​
​ · ​ · Weighted
​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · Average

Forfeited​—​​—
Granted9,628​12.35
Non-vested at June 30, 202428,809​$14.85

No stock options were awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Previously granted stock options vest over a period ofthree tofive years and are exercisable at the grant price, which is at least the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The Plan provides that the option price per share may not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the day the option was granted, and in no event less than the par value of such stock. Options granted under the Plan are exercisable no earlier than one year after the date of grant and expireten years after the date of the grant. All options previously granted under the Plans are scheduled to expire by February 17, 2025.

Total options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 have an exercise price of $17.80, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately eight months.

As of June 30, 2024, there wasno unrecognized compensation cost related to options granted under the Plan, andno options were exercised under the Plan during the period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which employees, through payroll deductions, may purchase shares of Company stock annually. The option price of the stock purchases is between 95% and 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the offering termination date as determined annually by the Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares which employees may purchase under the Plan is 250,000; however, the annual issuance of shares may not exceed 5,000 shares plus any unissued shares from prior offerings. There were 2,866 shares issued from treasury under this plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 4,230 shares issued from treasury under this plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, there were 149,554 shares reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact. Additional guidance is provided on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The guidance also includes instruction on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed, and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with fair value measurement and disclosure guidance.

This guidance clarifies that, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:** **

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

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

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

An asset’s or liability’s placement in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

*Equity Securities –*The fair value of equity securities is based upon quoted prices in active markets and is reported using Level 1 inputs.

Debt Securities – For debt securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurement from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the debt securities’ terms and conditions, among other things. For debt securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using other market indicators and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs.

Other Real Estate Owned – Certain assets included in other real estate owned are carried at fair value as a result of impairment and accordingly are presented as measured on a non-recurring basis. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs, based on appraisals that consider the sales prices of property in the proximate vicinity.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value of servicing assets is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows on pools of mortgages stratified by rate and maturity date and are considered Level 3 inputs.

Derivatives – The fair values of interest rate swaps and risk participation derivatives are determined using models that incorporate readily observable market data into a market standard methodology. This methodology nets the discounted future cash receipts and the discounted expected cash payments. The discounted variable cash receipts and payments are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, fair value is adjusted for the effect of nonperformance risk by incorporating credit valuation adjustments for the Company and its counterparties. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value. There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, the fair value estimates reported herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments after the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each quarter end.

The information presented below should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is provided only for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND GUARANTEES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes commitments to extend credit to its customers through letters of credit, loan commitments and lines of credit. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $133.0 million outstanding in loan commitments and other unused lines of credit extended to its customers as compared to $137.4 million at December 31, 2023.

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its letters of credit. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Generally, financial and performance letters of credit have expiration dates withinone year of issuance, while commercial letters of credit have longer term commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risks that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had outstanding $3.8 million and $3.6 million of financial and performance letters of credit commitments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Commercial letters of credit as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaled $9.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Management believes the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential number of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of June 30, 2024 for payments under letters of credit issued was not material.

Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk.

Additionally, the Company has sold qualifying residential mortgage loans to the FHLB as part of its Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (“Program”). Under the terms of the Program, there is limited recourse back to the Company for loans that do not perform in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Each loan sold under the Program is “credit enhanced” such that the individual loan’s rating is raised to “BBB”, as determined by the FHLB. The Program can be terminated by either the FHLB or the Company, without cause. The FHLB has no obligation to commit to purchase any mortgage loans through, or from, the Company.

13. DERIVATIVES

The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position and to meet the needs of customers.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company hadno derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In April 2023, the Company’s remaining interest rate swap with a notional amount of $20.0 million designated as a cash flow hedge on a short-term FHLB advance matured. Changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in other comprehensive income. The interest rate swap was determined to be fully effective during the 2023 period and, as such, no amount of ineffectiveness was included in net income.

The effect of cash flow hedge accounting on accumulated other comprehensive income for the period ended December 31, 2023 was as follows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
(Dollars in thousands) · ​ · December 31, 2023

​​OCI on Derivatives​from OCI into Income​OCI into Income
Interest rate contract​$2​Interest expense on short-term borrowings and repurchase agreements​$(269)
Total​$2​​​$(269)

The gain recognized into income for the cash flow hedging relationship on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $55,000 and $269,000, respectively.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Juniata entered into risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which Juniata is a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution. These risk participation agreements are recorded within other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at their estimated fair value. At June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the risk participation agreements was $35,000. Changes to the fair value of the risk participation agreements are included in fees derived from loan activity in the Consolidated Statement of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, income of $4,000 and $21,000, respectively, was recorded.

Juniata acts as an interest rate swap counterparty for one commercial borrower, which is accounted for at fair value. Juniata manages its exposure to such interest rate swaps by entering corresponding and offsetting interest rate swaps with a third party that mirrors the terms of the swap with the commercial borrower. This position, referred to as a “back-to-back swap”, directly offsets itself, and Juniata’s exposure is the fair value of the derivative due to changes in credit risk of the commercial borrower and third party. The back-to-back swap is recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at the estimated fair value. At June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the back-to-back swap was$25,000.

14. BRANCH ACQUISITION

On May 12, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a branch office in Spring Run, Pennsylvania. The acquisition included real estate and deposits. The liabilities were recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of May 12, 2023, and their results of operations of the branch have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income since such date. Included in the purchase price of the branch was goodwill and core deposit intangible of$765,000 and$303,000, respectively. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over aten-year period using a sum of the years’ digit basis. The goodwill will not be amortized but will be measured annually for impairment.
