The
Company's
ability
to

results
or
the
actual
effect
of
future

is
inherently
uncertain.
Factors
which
could

a
material

Company
and
its
subsidiaries
include,
but

of
prepayments
on
loans
and
mortgage-backed
securities,
legislative/
regulatory
changes,
monetary
and
fiscal
policies

the
U.S.
Government
including
policies
of
the
U.S.
Treasury
and

area
and

These
risks
and
uncertainties
are
further

the
Company’s
Annual
Report
on
Form
10-K
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2014
and

such
statements.
The
Company
does
not
undertake,
and
specifically
disclaims
any
obligation,
to
publicly
release
the
result
of
any
revisions
which

Spike in charge-offs was due to a change in charge-off policy to recognize the charge-off when the loan is deemed
uncollectible rather than when the foreclosure process is complete.  The additional charge-off relating to the
change in policy through 2011 was $5.7 million, all of which
had been previously specifically reserved.

In early 2015, added new commercial lending team located in Mercer County

savings
FHLB Advances restructured in fourth quarter 2013; duration extended to 38 months
Rationalizing Branch Network and Residential Lending, reinvesting cost saves to support growth
