QNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QNB Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, QNB Bank (the “Bank”). The consolidated entity is referred to herein as “QNB” or the “Company”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in QNB's 2023 Annual Report incorporated in the Form 10-K. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period and are of a normal and recurring nature.
Tabular information, other than share and per share data, is presented in thousands of dollars.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
QNB has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2024 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements and has identified the following subsequent event.
Subsequent Event: On April 8, 2024, Visa, Inc. commenced an initial exchange offer for all of its outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock for a combination of Class B-2 and Class C common shares. The exchange offer is optional for current Class B-1 holders and expires at 11:59 pm on May 3, 2024. QNB has elected to participate in the exchange offer and has submitted the required exchange documents, including a required makewhole agreement pursuant to which participating Class B-1 stockholders agree to reimburse Visa for future obligations relating to certain litigation which, but for participation in the exchange offer, would have otherwise been the responsibility of the Class B-1 stockholder as a result of its ownership of the Class B-1 common stock. QNB currently holds
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 6, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules requiring registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. These enhanced and standardized disclosures include material climate-related risks, board oversight and risk management activities descriptions, material impacts of these risks on a registrant’s strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
QNB maintains a 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"), administered by a Board committee (the “Committee”), under which both qualified and non-qualified stock options may be granted periodically to certain employees. Compensation cost has been measured using the fair value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense related to the 2015 Plan was $
Options are granted to certain employees at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the date the options are granted. The 2015 Plan authorized the issuance of
The following assumptions were used in the option pricing model in determining the fair value of options granted during the period:

The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury securities with a term approximating the expected life of the option being valued. Historical information was the basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected lives of the options.

QNB follows the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 326-10 as it relates to the recognition and presentation of impairment. This accounting guidance specifies that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered impaired unless there is a credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not, the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.

Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, state and municipalities, mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and corporate debt securities, for impairment and considers the current economic conditions, interest rates and the bond rating of each security. The unrealized losses at March 31, 2024 in U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency securities, state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and CMOs are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations. If held to maturity, these bonds will mature at par, and QNB will not realize a loss. QNB has the intent to hold the securities and does not believe it will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs.

8. LOANS & ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination and commitment fees and related direct costs are deferred and amortized to income over the term of the respective loan and loan commitment period as a yield adjustment.
Loans held-for-sale consists of residential mortgage loans that are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance charged to income. Gains and losses on residential mortgages held-for-sale are included in non-interest income.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on loans, which is intended to absorb probable known and inherent losses in the outstanding loan portfolio. The allowance is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased or decreased by the provision (reversal) for loan losses and increased by recoveries of previous losses. The provisions or reversals for credit losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered necessary by management.
13
The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist; these pools are identified in the first table below. The Company establishes a general valuation allowance for performing loans, including non-accrual student loans. QNB calculates each segment's historical loss rate using a full economic cycle of loan balance and historical loss experienced. The level of the allowance is determined by assigning specific reserves to all non-accrual loans, except the homogeneous pool of student loans which are measured in the general reserve. An allowance on these non-accrual loans is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The portion of the allowance that is allocated to non-accrual loans is determined by estimating the inherent loss on each credit after giving consideration to the value of underlying collateral. The general component is adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:
Management emphasizes loan quality and close monitoring of potential problem credits. Credit risk identification and review processes are utilized in order to assess and monitor the degree of risk in the loan portfolio. The Company’s lending and credit administration staff are charged with reviewing the loan portfolio and identifying changes in the economy or in a borrower’s circumstances which may affect the ability to repay debt or the value of pledged collateral. A loan classification and review system exists that identifies those loans with a higher than normal risk of collectability. Each commercial loan is assigned a grade based upon an assessment of the borrower’s financial capacity to service the debt and the presence and value of collateral for the loan. An independent firm reviews risk assessment and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management meets monthly to review the credit quality of the loan portfolio and quarterly to review the allowance for loan losses.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments using information available to them at the time of their examination.
Management believes that it uses the best information available to make determinations about the adequacy of the allowance and that it has established its existing allowance for credit losses on loans in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP.) If circumstances differ substantially from the current calculation, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on loans may be necessary and results of operations could be affected. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate.

Loans secured by commercial real estate include all loans collateralized at least in part by commercial real estate. These loans may not be for the express purpose of conducting commercial real estate transactions.
QNB generally lends in Bucks, Lehigh, and Montgomery counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. To a large extent, QNB makes loans collateralized at least in part by real estate. Its lending activities could be affected by changes in the general economy, the regional economy, or real estate values.
The Company engages in a variety of lending activities, including commercial, residential real estate and consumer transactions. The Company focuses its lending activities on individuals, professionals and small to medium sized businesses. Risks associated with lending activities include economic conditions and changes in interest rates, which can adversely impact both the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the associated collateral.
Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and residential real estate loans with a business purpose are generally perceived as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans with a personal purpose and consumer loans. These types of loans involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers and are more susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle. These loans may involve greater risk because the availability of funds to repay these loans depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. The assets financed are used within the business for its ongoing operation. Repayment of these kinds of loans generally comes from the cash flow of the business or the ongoing conversions of assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, to cash. Typical collateral for commercial and industrial loans includes the borrower’s accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. Commercial real estate and residential real estate loans secured for a business purpose are originated primarily within the eastern Pennsylvania market area at conservative loan-to-value ratios and often backed by the individual guarantees of the borrowers or owners. Repayment of this kind of loan is dependent upon either the ongoing cash flow of the borrowing entity or the resale or lease of the subject property. Commercial real estate loans may be affected to a greater extent than residential loans by adverse conditions in real estate markets or the economy because commercial real estate borrowers’ ability to repay their loans depends on successful development of their properties, as well as the factors affecting residential real estate borrowers.
Loans to state and political subdivisions are tax-exempt or taxable loans to municipalities, school districts and housing and industrial development authorities. These loans can be general obligations of the municipality or school district repaid through their taxing

authority, revenue obligations repaid through the income generated by the operations of the authority, such as a water or sewer authority, or loans issued to a housing and industrial development agency, for which a private corporation is responsible for payments on the loans.
The Company originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate real estate-residential mortgage loans for personal purposes that are secured by first liens on the underlying 1-4 family residential properties. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is minimized by the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower, including debt-to-income ratios, credit scores and adherence to underwriting policies that emphasize conservative loan-to-value ratios of generally no more than 80%. Residential mortgage loans granted in excess of the
The real estate-home equity portfolio consists of fixed-rate home equity loans and variable-rate home equity lines of credit. Risks associated with loans secured by residential properties are generally lower than commercial loans and include general economic risks, such as the strength of the job market, employment stability and the strength of the housing market. Since most loans are secured by a primary or secondary residence, the borrower’s continued employment is the greatest risk to repayment.
The Company offers a variety of loans to individuals for personal and household purposes. Consumer loans are generally considered to have greater risk than first or second mortgages on real estate because they may be unsecured, or, if they are secured, the value of the collateral may be difficult to assess and is more likely to decrease in value than real estate. Credit risk in this portfolio is controlled by conservative underwriting standards that consider debt-to-income levels and the creditworthiness of the borrower and, if secured, collateral values.
The Company employs a ten-grade risk rating system related to the credit quality of commercial loans and loans to state and political subdivisions of which the first six categories are pass categories (credits not adversely rated). The following is a description of the internal risk ratings and the likelihood of loss related to each risk rating.
The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential problem loans. Each loan officer assigns a rating to all loans in the portfolio at the time the loan is originated. Loans with risk ratings of one through five are reviewed annually based on the borrower’s fiscal year. Loans with risk ratings of six are reviewed every six to twelve months based on the dollar amount of the relationship with the borrower. Loans with risk ratings of seven through ten are reviewed at least quarterly, and as often as monthly, at management’s discretion. The Company also utilizes an outside loan review firm to review the portfolio on a semi-annual basis to provide the Board of Directors and senior management an independent review of the Company’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. These reviews are designed to recognize deteriorating credits in their earliest stages in an effort to reduce and control risk in the lending function as well as identifying potential shifts in the quality of the loan portfolio. The examinations by the outside loan review firm include the review of lending activities with respect to underwriting and processing new loans, monitoring the risk of existing loans and to provide timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. In addition, the outside firm reviews the methodology for the allowance for loan losses to determine compliance to policy and regulatory guidance.

As previously discussed, the Company maintains a loan review system, which includes a continuous review of the loan portfolio by internal and external parties to aid in the early identification of potential impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. When placing a loan on non-accrual status, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. All non-accrual loans, except student loans, are individually evaluated for an allowance for credit losses ("ACL"). This ACL is measured using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent.
An allowance for credit losses is established for a non-accrual loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of the majority of the Company’s non-accrual loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral less costs to sell.
For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes individually evaluated, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.
For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of

the assets.

Since the implementation of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, the Company measures loan modifications to borrowers in financial distress as a troubled debt modification ("TDM"). A TDM could involve principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, interest rate reduction or exchanging or paying off existing debt for new debt with the Company. Any amount forgiven would be charged to the allowance for credit losses. There were

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (fair values are not adjusted for transaction costs). ASC 820 also establishes a framework (fair value hierarchy) for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
30
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the security’s relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.
The following table sets forth QNB’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024:

The Level 3 securities consist of
Given conditions in the debt markets today and the absence of observable transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, we determined:
QNB used an independent third party to value this security using a discounted cash flow analysis. Based on management’s review of the bond’s
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of QNB’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between QNB’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of each major classification of financial instrument and non-financial asset at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable (carried at cost): The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate those assets’ fair value.
Investment securities (including derivative instruments) (carried at fair value): The fair value of securities is primarily determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are

valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. Level 2 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 date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.
The fair value of derivatives instruments designated as fair value hedges are based on estimates QNB would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreement, taking into account current interest rates and when appropriate, the credit-worthiness of the counterparties; these values are included in Level 2.
Restricted investment in stocks (carried at cost): The fair value of stock in Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, VISA Class B and SHCPFIC is the carrying amount, based on redemption provisions, and considers the limited marketability of and restrictions on such securities.
Loans Held for Sale (carried at lower of cost or fair value): The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.
Loans Receivable (carried at cost): The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the liquidity, credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Collateral Dependent Loans (generally collateral value less cost to sell): Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the Company has measured generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral, less cost to sell. The value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (carried at lower of cost or fair value): The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The mortgage servicing rights are stratified into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. The valuation incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income.
Deposit liabilities (carried at cost): The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity (e.g. demand deposits, interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts) are by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). Deposits with a stated maturity (time deposits) have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar deposits.
Short-term borrowings (carried at cost): The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair values.
Long-term debt (carried at cost): Long-term debt has stated maturities and have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar debt instruments.
Off-balance-sheet instruments (disclosed at cost): The fair values for QNB’s off-balance sheet instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
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, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of the respective period ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial Instruments with off-balance sheet risk:
In the normal course of business there are various legal proceedings, commitments, and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions and activities. They include, among other things, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The maximum exposure to credit loss, which represents the possibility of sustaining a loss due to the failure of the other parties to a financial instrument to perform according to the terms of the contract, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. QNB uses the same lending standards and policies in making credit commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The activity is controlled through credit approvals, control limits, and monitoring procedures. QNB applies the resulting loss factors under the allowance for credit losses on loans to its unused commitments, assuming: additional funding for commercial lines up to the average line usage for non-pass rated lines with no current usage; and, additional funding up to the average line usage for retail lines with no current usage. This resulted in an allowance credit losses on unused commitments of $

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. QNB evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
36
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial or performance obligation of a customer to a third party. QNB’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Standby letters of credit of $
The amount of collateral obtained for letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, marketable securities, pledged deposits, inventory or equipment.
Other commitments:
QNB has committed to various operating leases for several of their branch and office facilities. Some of these leases include specific provisions relating to rent increases. Some of the leases contain renewal options to extend the initial terms of the lease for periods ranging from five to
11. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
Dividends payable by QNB and the Bank are subject to various limitations imposed by statutes, regulations and policies adopted by bank regulatory agencies. Under Federal and Pennsylvania banking law, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited as to the amount it may lend affiliates, including QNB, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.
Both QNB and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate actions by regulators that could have an effect on the financial statements. Under the framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators. Management believes, as of March 31, 2024, that QNB and the Bank met capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of the most recent notification, the primary regulator of the Bank considered it to be “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the classification. To be categorized as well capitalized, bank holding companies and insured depository institutions must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following table below.

12. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
QNB's risk management objective with respect to derivative financial instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate investment securities, included in a closed portfolio, for changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The effective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument is reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax, and are reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made or received on the hedged portfolios. QNB assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship using a regression analysis of prior periodic changes in fair value of both the hedge and the hedged item. In the assessment of hedge effectiveness, QNB will consider the likelihood of the counterparty's compliance with the contractual terms of the hedging derivative that could require the counterparty to make payments (counterparty default risk). If the likelihood that the counterparty will not default ceases to be probable, the hedge may no longer be highly effective and hedge ineffectiveness due to counterparty payment risk will be assessed.
The following tables present the notional amounts of derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. QNB pledges cash or securities to cover the negative fair value of derivatives instruments. Cash collateral associated with the derivative instruments are not added to or netted against the fair value amounts.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or similar expressions. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor in regard to the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this document and documents incorporated by reference.
Shareholders should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, including the risk factors identified in Item 1A of QNB’s 2023 Form 10-K, could affect the future financial results of QNB and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. These factors include, but are not limited, to the following:
QNB cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which change over time, and QNB assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements. Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this report on Form 10-Q, even if subsequently made available by QNB on its website or otherwise, and they advise readers that various factors, including those described above, could affect QNB’s financial performance and could cause actual results or circumstances for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. Except as required by law, QNB does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Disclosure of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OVERVIEW
QNB reported net income for the first quarter of 2024 of $2,594,000, or $0.71 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $4,118,000, or $1.15 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2023. The Bank contributed $2,331,000 to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $4,287,000 for the same period 2023; and the holding company contributed $263,000 to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a negative $169,000 for the same period 2023. The results at the Bank were primarily due to net interest margin compression, a decrease in the amount of reversal in the provision for credit losses on loans and commitments and an increase in non-interest expense. The results at the holding company are due primarily to gains on sales of equity securities included in the investment portfolio.
Net income expressed as an annualized rate of return on average assets and average shareholders’ equity was 0.59% and 6.53%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared with 0.97% and 10.81%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Total assets as of March 31, 2024 were $1,716,081,000, compared with $1,706,318,000 at December 31, 2023. Loans receivable at March 31, 2024 were $1,122,616,000, a $29,083,000 increase from $1,093,533,000 at December 31, 2023. Total deposits of $1,536,188,000 at March 31, 2024 increased $47,475,000 compared with total deposits of $1,488,713,000 at December 31, 2023.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include the following significant components:
40
These items, as well as others, are explained more thoroughly in the next sections.
NET INTEREST INCOME
QNB earns its net income primarily through the Bank. Net interest income, or the spread between the interest, dividends and fees earned on loans and investment securities and the expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, is the primary source of operating income for QNB. Management seeks to achieve sustainable and consistent earnings growth while maintaining adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting its exposure to credit and interest rate risk levels approved by the Board of Directors.
The following table presents the adjustment to convert net interest income to net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Net interest income is the primary source of operating income for QNB. Net interest income is interest income, dividends, and fees on earning assets, less interest expense incurred for funding sources. Earning assets primarily include loans, investment securities, interest bearing balances at the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal funds sold. Sources used to fund these assets include deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of earning assets funded by non-interest-bearing deposits.
For purposes of this discussion, interest income and the average yield earned on loans and investment securities are adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis as detailed in the tables that appear above. This adjustment to interest income is made for analysis purposes only. Interest income is increased by the amount of savings of Federal income taxes, which QNB realizes by investing in certain tax-exempt state and municipal securities and by making loans to certain tax-exempt organizations. In this way, the ultimate economic impact of earnings from various assets can be more easily compared.
The net interest rate spread is the difference between average rates received on earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, while the net interest rate margin, which includes interest-free sources of funds, is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Asset/Liability and Investment Management Committee works to manage and maximize the net interest margin for the Company.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Quarterly Comparison
Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2024 were $1,734,164,000, an increase of $56,538,000, or 3.4%, from the first quarter of 2023, with average loans increasing $87,510,000, or 8.6%, average other interest earning assets increasing $39,644,000, primarily interest-earnings cash at the Federal Reserve Bank, and average investment securities decreasing $70,616,000, or 10.9%, over the same period in 2023. Cash generated from repayments on the investment portfolio supported loan growth. Average loans as a percent of average earning assets was 63.9% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 60.9% for the first quarter of 2023. On the funding side, average deposits increased $82,928,000, or 5.9%, to $1,497,692,000 for the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to an increase in time deposits and money market products. Average short-term borrowed funds, which consisted primarily of average commercial repurchase agreements, short-term Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") borrowing and over-night FHLB borrowings, decreased $47,477,000 to $87,441,000 during the first quarter of 2024 compared to $134,918,000 for the same period in 2023.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 decreased 16 basis points to 2.39% from 2.55% for the same period in 2023. Competition for quality loans and deposits in our local market continues to exert pressure on the net interest margin. The increases in interest rates starting in March 2022 have compressed the net interest margin as QNB had been liability sensitive; QNB entered into
43
interest rate hedging derivatives during the second quarter of 2023 moving QNB to be asset sensitive. The swap added 28 basis points to the net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024. The net interest margin is expected to improve as loans and deposits reprice.
The Rate-Volume Analysis tables, as presented on a tax-equivalent basis, highlight the impact of changing rates and volumes on interest income and interest expense. Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased $4,097,000, or 26.2%, to $19,710,000 for the first quarter of 2024; total interest expense increased $4,355,000 to $9,401,000.
The yield on earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis increased 80 basis points to 4.57% for the first quarter of 2024, from 3.77% for the first quarter of 2023. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.66% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 1.53% for the same period in 2023.
Interest income on investment securities (available-for-sale and equity) increased $1,021,000 when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The average yield on the investment portfolio was 2.62% for the first quarter of 2024 compared with 1.70% for the same period in 2023, an increase of 92 basis points of which the interest rate swaps contributed 85 basis points.
The yield on U.S. Treasury securities was 5.33% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 1.49% for the same period in 2023. The yield on U.S. Government agency securities increased six basis points offset by a decrease in average balances of $16,992,000, for a net reduction in interest income of $35,000.
Interest income on municipal securities, which are primarily tax-exempt, increased $303,000 due to a 119 basis-point increase in rate, partly offset by a $2,977,000 decrease in average balances. The rate and interest income increases on municipal securities was positively impacted by the interest rate swap, contributing to 120 basis points of the increase in rate. Typically, QNB purchases municipal bonds with 10- to 20-year maturities and may have call dates between 2-10 years.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities and CMOs increased $688,000 while average balances decreased $51,154,000 and yield increased 97 basis points. The rate and interest income increases on mortgage-backed securities were positively impacted by the interest rate swap, contributing 99 basis points. This portfolio generally provides higher yields relative to agency bonds and also provides monthly cash flow which can be used for liquidity purposes or can be reinvested as interest rates increase. Since most of these securities were purchased at a premium, any prepayments result in a shorter amortization period of this premium and therefore a reduction in income.
The dividend yield on equities increased 32 basis points as average balances decreased $6,077,000. Proceeds from sales of equities were reinvested in higher yielding treasury securities.
Income on loans increased $2,536,000 to $15,286,000 when comparing the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, with an $87,510,000 increase in average balances contributing to an increase in interest income of $988,000 and a 48-basis point increase in yield contributing to a $1,548,000 increase in interest income. Higher interest rates during the repricing period were partially offset by competitive pressures that compressed the yields on new loans.
The largest category of the loan portfolio is commercial real estate loans. This category of loans includes commercial purpose loans secured by either commercial properties such as office buildings, factories, warehouses, hotels and restaurants, medical facilities and retail establishments, or residential real estate, usually the residence of the business owner. The category also includes construction and land development loans. Income on commercial real estate loans increased $2,698,000 when comparing the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, primarily due to an 82-basis point increase in rate from 4.52% in 2023 to 5.34% and increased average balances of $93,520,000, or 13.7%.
Income on commercial and industrial loans decreased $481,000 when comparing the first quarters of 2024 and 2023. The average yield on these loans decreased 72 basis points to 7.50% resulting in a decrease in income of $252,000; average balances decreased $12,463,000, to $140,293,000 for the first quarter of 2024 resulting in a $229,000 decrease in interest income. The first quarter of 2023 included interest recovered on a nonaccrual loan that paid off; without this interest, the rate was 7.42% for the 2023 period. Many of the loans in this category are indexed to the prime interest rate.
Tax-exempt loan income remained level at $177,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Average balances decreased $1,950,000, or 9.5%, to $18,641,000 for the first quarter of 2024. The yield on municipal loans increased 33 basis points, to 3.82% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with the same period in 2023.
QNB desires to be the “local consumer lender of choice”, focusing its retail lending efforts on product offerings and marketing and promotion. Interest income on residential mortgage loans secured by first lien 1-4 family increased $129,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same period in 2023. Average residential mortgage loan balances increased by $3,224,000, or 3.1%, to $108,922,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, which contributed a $29,000 increase in interest income.
44
The average yield on the portfolio increased 37 basis points and contributed an increase of $100,000 to interest income. QNB chose to retain certain mortgage loans instead of selling them in the secondary market, as the yield on our originated mortgages was higher than comparable mortgage-backed securities. Average home equity loans increased during the 2024 period by $5,624,000 to $62,269,000; interest income increased $185,000 as the average yield increased 58 basis points to 6.81%. The yield on the consumer portfolio increased 137 basis points to 8.10% for the first quarter of 2024 and there was a $445,000 decrease in average balances resulting in a net $5,000 increase in interest income. The decrease in student loan balances of $470,000 was partially offset by an increase in consumer installment loans.
Earning assets are funded by deposits and borrowed funds. Interest expense increased $4,355,000, when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same period in 2023. QNB experienced an increase in all deposit categories except non-interest-bearing checking and savings accounts. Average non-interest-bearing demand accounts decreased $39,353,000 to $182,595,000 for the first quarter of 2024. Average savings balances decreased $107,719,000 to $298,353,000. QNB offered several new interest-bearing demand and money market products offering higher yields to retain large depositors and reduce the reliance on higher-cost short-term borrowings. Average interest-bearing demand accounts increased $4,289,000, or 1.4%, to $321,904,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and the average rate paid on these deposits increased 41 basis points; interest expense on interest-bearing demand accounts increased $341,000 to $643,000 for the same period. Average money market accounts increased $97,245,000, or 74.4%, to $227,872,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. Interest expense on money market accounts increased $1,673,000 to $2,015,000, and the average interest rate paid on money market accounts increased 250 basis points to 3.56% for the first quarter of 2024. Most of the balances in this category are in products that pay tiered rates based on account balances.
Interest expense on municipal interest-bearing demand accounts increased $502,000 to $1,577,000 for the first quarter of 2024. The average interest rate paid on municipal interest-bearing demand accounts increased 92 basis points to 4.81% for the first quarter of 2024 over the same quarter of 2023, and average balances increased $19,933,000, or 17.8%, to $131,887,000. Many of these accounts are indexed to the Federal funds rate with rate floors. Municipal deposits are seasonal in nature and are received during the second and third quarters as tax receipts are collected and are withdrawn over the course of the year.
Interest expense on savings accounts decreased $128,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same quarter of 2023. The average interest rate paid on savings accounts increased 20 basis points to 1.28% for the first quarter of 2024. When comparing these same periods, average savings accounts decreased $107,719,000, or 26.5%, to $298,353,000 for the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to decreases in the e-Savings product. QNB’s online e-Savings product is the largest category of savings deposits, with average balances for the first quarter of 2024 of $217,409,000 compared to $304,409,000 in the same period of 2023. The average yield paid on these accounts was 1.71% for the first quarter of 2024 and 1.35% for the same period in 2023. Traditional statement savings accounts, passbook savings and club accounts are also included in the savings category and average balances in these types of savings accounts decreased $20,719,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same period in 2023.
Interest expense on time deposits totaled $3,372,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $1,232,000 in 2023. Average total time deposits increased $108,533,000 to $335,081,000 for the first quarter of 2024. As with fixed-rate loans and investment securities, these deposits reprice over time and, therefore, have less of an immediate impact on costs in either a rising or falling rate environment; however, the maturity and repricing characteristics of time deposits tend to be shorter. The average rate paid on total time deposits increased 186 basis points from 2.19% to 4.05% when comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same period in 2023.
Approximately $303,251,000, or 85%, of time deposits at March 31, 2024 will mature over the next 12 months. The average rate paid on these time deposits is approximately 4.49%. The yield on the time deposit portfolio may change in the next quarter as short-term time deposits reprice; however, given the short-term nature of these deposits, interest expense may increase if short-term time deposit rates were to increase suddenly or if customers select higher paying time deposits.
Short-term borrowings are comprised of sweep accounts structured as repurchase agreements with our commercial customers, overnight FHLB borrowing and short-term FRB borrowing. Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased $370,000 for the first quarter of 2024 to $625,000 when compared to the same period in 2023. When comparing these same periods, average balances decreased $47,477,000 to $87,441,000. The yield on customer repos increased 52 basis points for the first quarter of 2024 to 1.58%. There were no FHLB borrowings during 2024. The yield on the short-term FHLB borrowing was 4.84% for the first quarter of 2023 and average balances were $59,742,000. During the first quarter of 2023, QNB borrowed $50,000,000 from the FRB under its Bank Term Funding Program and locked in a rate of 4.39%; there are no pre-payment penalties. The FRB borrowings were paid off during the first quarter of 2024 but carried an average balance of $40,110,000 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to an average balance of $8,889,000 for the same period in 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, QNB borrowed long-term debt of $20,000,000 to lock in borrowing at a lower yield than short-term borrowings.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES, ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON UNUSED COMMITMENTS
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), as amended ("ASU 326"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected credit losses (“CECL”) for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. On January 1, 2023, QNB recorded a decrease to its allowance for credit losses on loans of $989,000 and an increase to its allowance for credit losses on unused commitments of $5,000.
The provision for credit losses represents management's determination of the amount necessary to be charged to operations to bring the allowance for credit losses on loans and the allowance for credit losses on unused commitments to amounts that are intended to absorb historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, in the outstanding loan portfolio and the unused commitments. Management believes that it uses the best information available to make determinations about the adequacy of these allowances and that it has established its existing allowances for credit losses on loan and on unused commitments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The determination of an appropriate level for the allowance for credit losses on loans and the allowance for credit losses on unused commitments are based upon an analysis of the risks inherent in QNB’s loan portfolio.
Since the allowance for credit losses on loans and the reserve on unused commitments is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions that may be beyond QNB’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s calculations and actual results could differ. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review QNB’s allowance for credit losses on loans. Such agencies may require QNB to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Actual loan losses, net of recoveries, serve to reduce the allowance.
Based on this analysis, QNB reversed $93,000 in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, through the allowance for credit losses on loans, compared to a reversal of $1,783,000 through the provision for credit losses for the same period in 2023. QNB recorded a provision of $7,000 for the allowance for credit losses for unused commitments in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a reversal of $22,000 for the same period in 2023.
QNB's allowance for credit losses on loans of $8,738,000 represents 0.78% of loans receivable at March 31, 2024 compared with an allowance for credit losses on loans of $8,852,000 or 0.81% of loans receivable, at December 31, 2023, and $8,191,000, or 0.81%, at March 31, 2023. Management believes the allowance for credit losses on loans at March 31, 2024 is adequate as of that date based on its analysis of historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts in the portfolio.
Net charge-offs were $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net recoveries of $532,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Charge-offs consisted of overdrafts of $33,000 and student and other consumer loans of $14,000. Recoveries of approximately $26,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of $18,000 in repayments from borrowers of previously charged-off credits and overdrafts recoveries of $8,000. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable were 0.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Non-performing assets were $2,001,000 at March 31, 2024 compared to $1,940,000 as of December 31, 2023 and $4,561,000 at March 31, 2023. Total non-performing loans, which represent loans on non-accrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and restructured loans, were 0.18% of loans receivable at March 31, 2024, 0.18% at December 31, 2023, and 0.45% of loans receivable at March 31, 2023. In cases where there is a collateral shortfall on non-accrual loans, specific impairment reserves have been established based on updated collateral values even if the borrower continues to pay in accordance with the terms of the agreement. At March 31, 2024, $1,192,000, or approximately 60%, of the loans classified as non-accrual are current or past due less than 30 days. Commercial loans classified as substandard or doubtful totaled $11,852,000, an increase of $242,000 from the $11,610,000 reported at December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $1,727,000, or 12.7%, from the $13,579,000 reported at March 31, 2023. The increase in classified loans since December 31, 2023 was due to two relationships downgraded, partially offset by repayments; and the decrease since March 31, 2023 is primarily due to repayments and pay-offs on existing substandard loans.
QNB had no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, or March 31, 2023. Total loans 30 days or more past due, which includes non-accrual loans by actual number of days delinquent, represented 0.37% of loans receivable at March 31, 2024 compared with 1.15% at December 31, 2023, and 0.60% at March 31, 2023. The December 31, 2023 past-dues included one large relationship past maturity and in the process of refinancing.
There were no troubled debt modifications identified during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. QNB had no other real estate owned or repossessed assets at March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 or March 31, 2023.
46
A loan is considered collateral dependent, based on current information and events, if it is probable that QNB will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining if a loan is collateral dependent include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not collateral dependent. Management determines the significance of payment delays and shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Deficiency is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all non-accrual loans, except student loans, by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Quarter to Quarter Comparison
Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $1,836,000, an increase of $617,000, compared to $1,219,000 for the first quarter of 2023. Excluding realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities and loans, non-interest income decreased $147,000, or 9.1%, to $1,474,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, unrealized losses on investment equity securities of $30,000 were recorded compared to unrealized gains of $57,000 in the same period of 2023. The unrealized losses and gains for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 resulted from the change in the fair value of the equities included in the investment portfolio. The equities portfolio comprises blue-chip large-capitalized stocks, providing a year-to-date taxable equivalent dividend yield of 3.71%. The estimated cumulative contribution (realized and unrealized net gains (losses), plus dividends) of the equity portfolio to earnings per share from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2024 is $2.57 per diluted share. Details of the equity portfolio’s contribution to net income since January 1, 2017 is detailed in the following table.

Quarter to Quarter Comparison
Total non-interest expense was $8,833,000 for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $633,000 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Salaries and benefits comprise the largest component of non-interest expense. QNB monitors, through the use of various surveys, the competitive salary and benefit information in its markets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Salaries and benefits expense increased $411,000, or 9.0%, to $4,974,000 when comparing the two quarters. Salary expense and related payroll taxes increased $178,000 to $4,145,000 during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to pay increases and filling open positions. Medical and dental premiums, net of employee contributions, increased $180,000 when comparing the two quarters due to medical claims. Retirement and post-retirement costs increased $50,000.
Net occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses combined increased $138,000, or 10.0%, when comparing the first quarters of 2024 and 2023. This is due primarily to increased software maintenance expense. Marketing expense increased $63,000, or 31.0%, to $266,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, due to timing of promotions and community support donations.
Third-party services are comprised of professional services, including legal, accounting, auditing and consulting services, as well as fees paid to outside vendors for support services of day-to-day operations. These support services include correspondent banking services, IT services, statement printing and mailing, investment security safekeeping and supply management services. Third party services expense increased $15,000. Telephone, postage and supplies expense decreased $41,000 primarily due to a reduction in postage and mailing expenses as there was an increase in the use of electronic delivery. State taxes decreased $24,000, or 19.4%, due to the timing of tax credits received for qualified charitable contributions. FDIC insurance premiums increased $170,000 due to an increase in the assessment rate.
Other non-interest expense decreased $99,000, or 10.1%, due to a $161,000 decrease in write-offs primarily due to fraud on customer accounts, partly offset by an increase in debit card expense of $53,000 and business development costs of $24,000.
INCOME TAXES
QNB utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. As of March 31, 2024, QNB’s net deferred tax asset was $19,029,000. The primary components of deferred taxes are deferred tax assets of which $18,630,000 relates to investment securities fair value adjustments and $1,835,000 relates to the allowance for credit losses on loans, partly offset by a deferred tax liability on interest rate swap fair value adjustments of $933,000. As of December 31, 2023, QNB’s net deferred tax asset was $19,290,000 of which $17,692,000 is related to investment securities fair value adjustment and $1,859,000 relates to the allowance for credit losses on loans. The decrease in the balance of net deferred tax assets when comparing March 31, 2024 to December 31, 2023 of $261,000 is due to the unrealized gains on interest rate swaps contributing a reduction of $1,300,000, partly offset by a reduction in unrealized losses on available for sale securities contributing $938,000.
The realizability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the generation of future taxable income, the existence of taxes paid and recoverable, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies. Based upon these and other factors, management believes it is more likely than not that QNB will realize the benefits of these remaining deferred tax assets.
Applicable income tax expense was $663,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,123,000 for the quarter and March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 20.4% compared with 21.4% for the same period in 2023.
49
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is due to the state income tax at the parent company and a lower proportion of tax-exempt net interest income to income before taxes for 2024 over 2023.
FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Financial service organizations are challenged to demonstrate they can generate sustainable and consistent earnings growth in a dynamic operating environment. Rate competition for quality loans is anticipated to continue through 2024. It is also anticipated that the rate competition for attracting and retaining deposits may increase in the remainder of 2024, which could result in a lower net interest margin and a decline in net interest income.
QNB’s primary business is accepting deposits and making loans to meet the credit needs of the communities it serves. Loans are the most significant component of earning assets and growth in loans to small businesses and residents of these communities has been a primary focus of QNB. Inherent within the lending function is the evaluation and acceptance of credit risk and interest rate risk. QNB manages credit risk associated with its lending activities through portfolio diversification, underwriting policies and procedures and loan monitoring practices. QNB is committed to make credit available to its customers.
Total assets at March 31, 2024 were $1,716,081,000 compared with $1,706,318,000 at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11,694,000 from $62,657,000 at December 31, 2023 to $50,963,000 at March 31, 2024.
The fixed-income securities portfolio represents a significant portion of QNB’s earning assets and is also a primary tool in liquidity and asset/liability management. QNB actively manages its fixed income portfolio to take advantage of changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in spread relationships in different sectors and for liquidity purposes. Management continually reviews strategies that will result in an increase in the yield or improvement in the structure of the investment portfolio, including monitoring credit and concentration risk in the portfolio. The available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased $8,586,000, due to maturities and prepayments of $11,338,000; this was partly offset by purchases of $2,967,000 and improvement in the fair value mark of $1,728,000.
Loans receivable increased $29,083,000 with commercial loans increasing $27,511,000 to $946,926,000 at March 31, 2024, compared with $919,415,000 at year-end 2023.
Deposits grew $47,475,000 from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $3,162,000, with balances of $188,260,000 at March 31, 2024 compared with $185,098,000 at year-end 2023. Interest-bearing demand balances, excluding municipal deposits, increased $4,877,000 to $334,829,000, with increases in both personal and business interest-bearing checking products. The $12,677,000 increase in money market accounts was primarily to a new premium money market product offered to both personal and business customers. The $8,642,000 decrease in savings was primarily due to declines in the E-Savings on-line product as some of these funds moved to higher-yield certificates of deposit or the new premium money market accounts. Total time deposits increased $42,496,000 from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as customers took advantage of higher-yielding time deposits, moving from lower-yielding products. Municipal deposit balances decreased $7,095,000, to $125,665,000, during the first three months of 2024. Municipal deposits can be volatile depending on the timing of deposits and withdrawals, and the cash flow needs of the school districts or municipalities. Municipal deposits increase as tax money is received from the local school districts during second and third quarters and it is anticipated that these funds will flow out for the subsequent twelve months as the schools use the funds for operations. These deposits provide an incremental funding source as they are used to fund loans as opposed to borrowing at a higher rate; this improves the net interest margin as it increases the spread related to the net interest margin.
Short-term borrowings decreased 41.5%, from $94,094,000 at December 31, 2023 to $55,088,000 at March 31, 2024. Commercial sweep accounts increased $10,994,000; these funds may be volatile based on businesses’ receipt and disbursement of funds and is offset by business non-interest-bearing demand accounts. During the first quarter of 2023, QNB borrowed $50,000,000 from the FRB under its Bank Term Funding Program and locked in a rate of 4.39%, there are no pre-payment penalties; these borrowing were paid off during the first quarter of 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, QNB borrowed long-term debt from the FHLB of $20,000,000 to lock in a low yield.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy demand for loans and deposit withdrawals. QNB attempts to manage its mix of cash and interest-bearing balances, Federal funds sold and investment securities to match the volatility, seasonality, interest sensitivity and growth trends of its loans and deposits. The Company manages its liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring its liquidity sources and estimated funding needs. Liquidity is provided from asset sources through repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities. The portfolio of investment securities classified as available for sale and QNB's policy of selling certain residential mortgage originations in the secondary market also provide sources of liquidity. Core deposits and cash management repurchase agreements have historically been the most significant funding source for QNB. These
50
deposits and repurchase agreements are generated from a base of consumers, businesses and public funds primarily located in the Company’s market area.
Additional sources of liquidity are provided by the Bank’s membership in the FHLB. At March 31, 2024 the Bank had a maximum borrowing availability with the FHLB of approximately $388,484,000, which is net of long-term borrowing outstanding of $20,000,000, a $283,000 letter of credit and accrued interest payable. The maximum borrowing depends upon qualifying collateral assets and the Bank’s asset quality and capital adequacy. In addition, the Bank maintains unsecured Federal funds lines with four correspondent banks totaling $86,000,000. At March 31, 2024 there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines. Future availability under these lines is subject to the policies of the granting banks and may be withdrawn.
Liquid sources of funds, including cash, available-for-sale and equity investment securities, and loans held-for-sale have decreased $20,522,000 since December 31, 2023, totaling $538,776,000 at March 31, 2024. The reduction in the liquid sources of funds is primarily due to maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities. Growth in deposits provided cash flows of $47,475,000 and net proceeds from available-for-sale investment activities provided $8,371,000; combined, the proceeds enabled the net paydown on short-term borrowings of $39,006,000 and funding for the net growth in loans of $29,104,000. Management expects these liquid sources will be adequate to meet normal fluctuations in loan demand or deposit withdrawals. The investment portfolio is expected to continue to provide sufficient liquidity, as municipal bonds are called or mature and cash flow on mortgage-backed and CMO securities continues to be steady.
Approximately $251,927,000 and $289,935,000 of available-for-sale debt securities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements and deposits of public funds and the FRB short-term borrowing. The level of pledged securities corresponds with the municipal deposit and repurchase agreement balances.
QNB is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (CDARS) program offered by the Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC. CDARS is a funding and liquidity management tool used by banks to access funds and manage their balance sheet. It enables financial institutions to provide customers with full FDIC insurance on time deposits over $250,000 that are placed in the program. QNB also has available Insured Cash Sweep (ICS), another program through Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC, which is a product similar to CDARS, but one that provides liquidity like a money market or savings account.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
A strong capital position is fundamental to support continued growth and profitability and to serve the needs of depositors. QNB's shareholders' equity at March 31, 2024 was $93,686,000, or 5.46% of total assets, compared with shareholders' equity of $90,824,000, or 5.32% of total assets, at December 31, 2023. Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2024 included a negative adjustment of $66,571,000 compared to a negative adjustment of $67,937,000 at December 31, 2023, related to net unrealized holding losses, net of taxes, on investment securities available-for-sale and gains on fair value hedges, net of tax. Without these adjustments, shareholders' equity to total assets would have been 8.99% and 8.95% at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Average shareholders' equity and average total assets were $159,739,000 and $1,778,585,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively, from the averages for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The ratio of average total equity to average total assets was 8.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 8.99% for the same period in 2023.
Retained earnings at March 31, 2024 were impacted by three months of net income totaling $2,594,000 offset by dividends declared and paid of $1,352,000 for the three-month period. QNB offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) to provide participants a convenient and economical method for investing cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock in additional shares. The Plan also allows participants to make additional cash purchases of stock. Stock purchases under the Plan contributed $217,000 to capital during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of QNB common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not bear a termination date. As of March 31, 2024, 102,000 shares have been repurchased since the initial authorization at an average price of $24.93 and a total cost of $2,543,000.
QNB is subject to various regulatory capital requirements as issued by Federal regulatory authorities. Regulatory capital is defined in terms of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Risk-based capital ratios are expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning various weights to all assets and off-balance sheet arrangements, such as letters of credit and loan commitments, based on associated risk.
The required minimum Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 4.5%, the required minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.0%, the required minimum ratio of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.0%, and the required minimum
51
Tier 1 leverage ratio is 4.0%. A capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets also applies to avoid limitations on certain capital distributions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from changes in interest rates and market prices. QNB’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and liquidity risk. QNB’s liquidity position was discussed in a prior section.
QNB’s largest source of revenue is net interest income, which is subject to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk management seeks to minimize the effect of interest rate changes on net interest margins and interest rate spreads and to provide growth in net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. QNB’s Asset/Liability and Investment Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for managing interest rate risk and for evaluating the impact of changing interest rate conditions on net interest income.
QNB uses computer simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. Simulation considers current balance sheet volumes and the scheduled repricing dates, instrument level optionality, and maturities of assets and liabilities. It incorporates assumptions for growth, changes in the mix of assets and liabilities, prepayments, and average rates earned and paid. Based on this information, management uses the model to project net interest income under multiple interest rate scenarios.
A balance sheet is considered asset sensitive when its assets (investment securities and loans) reprice faster than its interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). An asset sensitive balance sheet will produce relatively higher net interest income when interest rates rise and less net interest income when they decline. A balance sheet is considered liability sensitive when its liabilities (deposits and borrowings) reprice faster than its earning assets (investments securities and loans). A liability sensitive balance sheet will produce relatively less net interest income when interest rates rise and more net interest income when they decline. Based on our simulation analysis, management believes QNB’s interest sensitivity position at March 31, 2024 is asset sensitive. Management expects that market interest rates may increase over the next 12 months, based on the economic environment and policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The following table shows the estimated impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 assuming instantaneous rate shocks, and consistent levels of assets and liabilities. Net interest income for the subsequent twelve months is projected to decrease when interest rates are higher than current rates.

Computations of future effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Assets and liabilities may react differently than projected to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag changes in market interest rates. Interest rate shifts may not be parallel.
Changes in interest rates can cause substantial changes in the amount of prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, which may in turn affect QNB’s interest rate sensitivity position. Additionally, credit risk may rise if an interest rate increase adversely affects the ability of borrowers to service their debt. At March 31, 2024, QNB had two derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments, these interest rate swaps had a notional value of $300,000,000.
QNB is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.
