NOTE 1 
GENERAL
Financial Statement Preparation

The significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported, have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Corporation as of December 31, 2019,2020, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Corporation’s annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. Reclassifications have been made to prior financial statements to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loancredit losses and fair value of financial instruments. The uncertainties related to the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") could cause significant changes to these estimates compared to what was known at the time these financial statements were prepared.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting, with the exception of the Corporation's adoption of ASC 326 as described below under the heading "Recent Accounting Changes Adopted In 2021." The Corporation revised certain accounting policies and implemented certain accounting policy elections, related to the adoption of ASC 326 which are described below. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported, have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Corporation adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL") on January 1, 2021. CECL replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompassed allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an "expected loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures based on historical experiences, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. CECL also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. In addition, CECL includes certain changes to the accounting for investment securities available for sale depending on whether management intends to sell the securities or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

As of the adoption and day one measurement date of January 1, 2021, the Corporation recorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of income taxes, on the consolidated balance sheet of $68.0 million. The allowance increased 57 percent from December 31, 2020, or $74.1 million, because it covered expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, which approximates four years, and it included an allowance on all purchased loans that were previously excluded from the allowance for loan losses calculation. CECL also requires the establishment of a reserve for potential losses from unfunded commitments that is recorded in other liabilities, separate from allowance for credit losses, which was approximately $20.5 million. An allowance for credit losses of $245,000 was recorded on the state and municipal securities classified as held to maturity based on applying the long-term historical credit loss rate, as published by Moody’s, for similarly rated securities. The following table details the impact of the adoption of CECL on the Corporation's balance sheet as of January 1, 2021.

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities available for sale – for investment securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, the Corporation first assesses whether it intends to sell, or 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 investment securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Corporation evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Corporation 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 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, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are reported in the income statement as a component of the provision for credit loss. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale from the estimate of credit losses. Investment securities available for sale are charged off against the allowance or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through the income statement when deemed uncollectible or when either of the aforementioned criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Corporation did not record an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available for sale as the unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates, not credit quality.

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities held to maturity ("ACL - Investments") – the ACL - Investments is a contra asset-valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of investment securities held to maturity to present the net amount expected to be collected. Investment securities held to maturity are charged off against the ACL - Investments when deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the ACL - Investments are reported in the income statement as a component of the provision for credit loss. The Corporation measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities held to maturity from the estimate of credit losses. With regard to U.S. Government-sponsored agency and mortgage-backed securities, all these securities are issued by a U.S. government-sponsored entity and have an implicit or explicit government guarantee. With regard to securities issued by states and municipalities and other investment securities held to maturity, management considers (1) issuer bond ratings, (2) the financial condition of the issuer, (3) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, and (4) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Historical loss rates associated with securities having similar grades as those in the Corporation's portfolio have generally not been significant. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2021, there were no past due principal and interest payments associated with these securities. An allowance for credit losses of $245,000 was recorded on the state and municipal securities classified as held to maturity based on applying the long-term historical credit loss rate, as published by Moody’s, for similarly rated securities.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) – the Corporation has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is the noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans ("ACL - Loans") - the ACL - Loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans over the contractual term. Loans are charged off against the allowance when the uncollectibility of the loan is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off. Adjustments to the ACL- Loans are reported in the income statement as a component of provision for credit loss. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses. Further information regarding the policies and methodology used to estimate the ACL - Loans is detailed in NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE of these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures – the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a liability account representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which the Corporation is exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if the Corporation has the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit. For the period of exposure, the estimate of expected credit losses considers both the likelihood that funding will occur and the amount expected to be funded over the estimated remaining life of the commitment or other off-balance sheet exposure. The likelihood and expected amount of funding are based on historical utilization rates. The amount of the allowance represents management’s best estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the contractual life of the commitment. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the income statement as a component of provision for credit loss.

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced that the outbreak of COVID-19 constituted a public health emergency of international concern. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related governmental actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have significantly impacted the global economy (including the states and local economies in which the Corporation operates), disrupted supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. As a result of the shelter in place mandates in effect beginning early in the second quarter of 2020, commercial activity throughout our geographic footprint, as well as nationally, have decreased significantly during 2020. Most2020 and 2021. These containment measures led to increased unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. Although the vaccination rate in the U.S. continues to increase and most states have reopened, albeit under limited capacities and under other social distancing restrictions; however, commercial activity has not yet returned to the levels existing prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. Such measuresMoreover, certain states and localities have significantly contributedrecently experienced significant increases in the number of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 as variant strains of the virus have spread, which may further complicate efforts of the medical community and federal, state and local governments to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. As a result, the demand for the Corporation’s products and services has been, and will continue to be, significantly impacted.

Recent Accounting Changes Adopted in 2020

FASB Accounting Standards Updates No. 2018-15 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

Summary - The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a licenserespond to the hosted software. The ASU aligns the following requirements for capitalizing implementation costs:
Those incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract, and
Those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license).

For calendar-year public companies, the changes were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Corporation adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2020 and adoption of the standard did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

For small businesses, eligible nonprofits and certain others, the CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a lending program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that was intended to incentivize participants to retain their employees by providing them with loans that are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and subject to forgiveness if program guidelines are met. The CARES Act and the PPP were further amended throughout 2020 in order to provide additional funding and to extend the two-year maturity for PPP loans to five years.

The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 were effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty were applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments were applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption was permitted. An entity was permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Corporation adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2020 and adoption of the standard did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s disclosures.

FASB Accounting Standards Updates No. 2017-04 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.

Summary - The FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, the income tax effects of tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the qualitative impairment test is necessary.

The amendments were applied on a prospective basis. The Corporation adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill, January 1, 2020 and assessed the recent economic impact and market conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the Corporation performed a goodwill impairment test which included various valuation considerations including comparable peer data, precedent transaction comparables, discounted cash flow analysis, overall financial performance, share price of the Corporation's common stock and other factors. The testing resulted in a conclusion that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of2021, the Corporation had declined below$415.8 million of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans compared to the December 31, 2020 balance of $667.1 million. The Bank anticipates that the majority of its carrying value; therefore, goodwill was not impaired at September 30, 2020. Goodwill assessments are highly sensitive to economic projections andremaining PPP loans will also be forgiven by the related assumptions used by management.

Guidance on Non-TDR Loan Modifications due to COVID-19

On March 22, 2020, a statement was issued by the Bank'sBank’s banking regulators and titled the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” (the "Interagency Statement"“Interagency Statement”) that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised on April 7, 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. In accordance with such guidance, the Bank has offered short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included short-term, 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. AsThe CAA, as described above, extended the expiration date for COVID-related loan modifications exempt from troubled debt restructuring classification until the earlier of September 30, 2020, approximately $176 millionJanuary 1, 2022, or 60 days after the termination of loan balances remained in deferral.the national emergency.

Recent Accounting Changes Adopted In 2021

The Corporation continually monitors potential accounting pronouncements and the following pronouncements have been deemed to have the most applicability to the Corporation's financial statements:

FASB Accounting Standards Updates No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
Summary - The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This new guidance replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses with an "expected life of loan loss" model, referred to as the CECL model.

Under the CECL model, certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, are required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement takes place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model, which delayed recognition until it is probable a loss had been incurred.

The Corporation developed models that satisfy the requirements of the new standard which are governed by a system of internal controls and a cross-functional working group consisting of accounting, finance, and credit administration personnel. The loan portfolio was pooled into ten loan segments with similar risk characteristics for which the probability of default/loss given default methodology was applied. The Corporation utilized a one-year economic forecast period then reverted to historical macroeconomic levels for the remaining life of the portfolio. A baseline macroeconomic scenario, along with other scenarios, were used to develop a range of estimated credit losses for which to determine the best estimate within.

The ASU was effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Pursuant to the CARES Act and the related joint statement of federal banking regulators (which also became effective as of March 27, 2020), and consistent with guidance from the SEC and FASB, the Corporation elected to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, which was set to expire on December 31, 2020. However, the CAA (as discussed above) extended the temporary relief from CECL compliance to the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates, or January 1, 2022. The Corporation elected to delay implementation of CECL following the approval of the CARES Act and, with the enactment of the CAA, the Corporation elected to adopt CECL on January 1, 2021. This allows the Corporation to utilize the CECL standard for the entire year of 2021, while its 2020 financial statements were prepared under the incurred loss model.

As of the adoption and day one measurement date of January 1, 2021, the Corporation recorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of income taxes, on the consolidated balance sheet of $68.0 million. The allowance increased 57 percent from December 31, 2020, or $74.1 million, because it covered expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, which approximates four years, and it included an allowance on all purchased loans that were previously excluded from the allowance for loan losses calculation. CECL also requires the establishment of a reserve for potential losses from unfunded commitments that is recorded in other liabilities, separate from allowance for credit losses, which was approximately $20.5 million. An allowance for credit losses of $245,000 was recorded on the state and municipal securities classified as held to maturity based on applying the long-term historical credit loss rate, as published by Moody’s, for similarly rated securities.

FASB Accounting Standards Updates No. 2019-11 - Codification Improvements to (Topic 326): Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
Summary - The FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses in order to address issues raised by stakeholders during the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments.

Among other narrow-scope improvements, the new ASU clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries. “Expected recoveries” describes a situation in which an organization recognizes a full or partial write-off of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset, but then later determines that the amount written off, or a portion of that amount, will in fact be recovered. While applying the credit losses standard, stakeholders questioned whether expected recoveries were permitted on assets that had already shown credit deterioration at the time of purchase (also known as PCD assets). In response to this question, the ASU permits organizations to record expected recoveries on PCD assets. In addition to other narrow technical improvements, the ASU also reinforces existing guidance that prohibits organizations from recording negative allowances for available-for-sale debt securities.

The ASU includes effective dates and transition requirements that vary depending on whether or not an entity has already adopted ASU No. 2016-13. As discussed above, pursuant to the CARES Act, the Corporation elected to defer the adoption of CECL. Additionally, the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act ("CAA"), signed into law on December 27, 2020, amended the CARES Act by extending the temporary relief from CECL compliance to the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates, or January 1, 2022. The Corporation elected to delay implementation of CECL following the approval of the CARES Act and, with the enactment of the CAA, the Corporation elected to adopt CECL on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
Summary - The FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes.

The ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period:
•    Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation;
•    Exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and
•    Exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses.

The ASU also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for:
•    Franchise taxes that are partially based on income;
•    Transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill
•    Separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and
•    Enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods.

The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the ASU was permitted. The Corporation adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 and adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The Corporation continually monitors potential accounting changes and pronouncements. The following pronouncements have been deemed to have the most applicability to the Corporation's financial statements:

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Summary - The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This new guidance was issued to address concerns that current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) restricts the ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the “probable” threshold by replacing the current “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with an “expected life of loan loss” model referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model.

Under the CECL model, certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, are required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model required under current GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The change could materially affect how the allowance for loan losses is determined and cause a charge/credit to earnings through the provision for loan losses. Such could create volatility in earnings and could adversely affect the financial condition of the Corporation.

The ASU is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Pursuant to the CARES Act and the related joint statement of federal banking regulators (which also became effective as of March 27, 2020), and consistent with guidance from the SEC and FASB, the Corporation has elected to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, which would have become effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2020. As discussed above, ASU No. 2016-13 provides for the replacement of the incurred loss model for recording the allowance for loan losses with CECL. However, as a result of the Corporation’s election, its first, second and third quarter 2020 financial statements have been prepared under the existing incurred loss model. As the temporary relief applicable to the Corporation’s compliance with CECL will end no later than December 31, 2020, the Corporation will implement CECL during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Corporation has developed models that satisfy the requirements of the new standard which will be governed by a system of internal controls and a cross-functional working group consisting of accounting, finance, and credit administration personnel. The loan portfolio was pooled into ten loan segments with similar risk characteristics for which the probability of default/loss given default methodology will be applied. The Corporation intends to utilize a one-year economic forecast period then revert to historical macroeconomic levels for the remaining life of the portfolio. A baseline macroeconomic scenario, along with other scenarios, will be used to develop a range of estimated credit losses for which to determine the best estimate within.

The Corporation will record a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of income taxes, on the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the adoption period. If adopted with retrospective measurement to January 1, 2020, the allowance will increase by 55-65 percent from December 31, 2019 because it will cover expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, which approximates four years, and it includes all purchased loans that were previously excluded from the allowance for loan losses calculation. CECL also requires the establishment of a reserve for potential losses from unfunded commitments that is recorded in other liabilities, separate from allowance for credit losses, which is estimated to be approximately $18 million.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-11 - Codification Improvements to (Topic 326): Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

Summary - The FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses in order to address issues raised by stakeholders during the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments.

In addition to other narrow technical improvements, the ASU also reinforces existing guidance that prohibits organizations from recording negative allowances for available-for-sale debt securities.

The ASU includes effective dates and transition requirements that vary depending on whether or not an entity has already adopted ASU No. 2016-13. As discussed above, pursuant to the CARES Act, the Corporation elected to defer the adoption of CECL. As the temporary relief applicable to the Corporation’s compliance with CECL will end no later than December 31, 2020, the Corporation will implement CECL during the fourth quarter of 2020.

FASB Accounting Standards Updates - No. 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

Summary
Summary - The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. LIBOR and other interbank offered rates are widely used benchmarks or reference rates in the United States and globally. Trillions of dollars in loans, derivatives, and other financial contracts reference LIBOR, the benchmark interest rate banks use to make short-term loans to each other. With global capital markets expected to move away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates and move toward rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation, the FASB launched a broad project in late 2018 to address potential accounting challenges expected to arise from the transition. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The ASU is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period.

Entities may apply this ASU as of the beginning of an interim period that includes the March 12, 2020 issuance date of the ASU, through December 31, 2022. The Corporation expects to adopt the practical expedients included in the ASU prior to December 31, 2022. The Corporation is implementing a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Corporation is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Corporation's transition away from LIBOR for its loans and other financial instruments.

FASB Accounting Standards Updates - Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope
Summary - The FASB has published ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition.

An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final Update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued.

If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments in this Update for an eligible hedging relationship, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the date the entity applies the election.

The amendments in this Update do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022, new hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022, and existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship (including periods after December 31, 2022). The Corporation is assessing ASU 2021-01 and its impact on the Corporation's transition away from LIBOR for its loans and other financial instruments.

Accrued interest on investment securities available for sale and held to maturity of $22.9 million are included in the Interest Receivable line on the Corporation's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost of available for sale and held to maturity securities at September 30, 2020presented above.

In determining the allowance for credit losses on investment securities available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position, the Corporation first assesses whether it intends to sell, or 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 the income statement. For investment securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Corporation evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Corporation 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 December 31, 2019,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 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 contractualthe amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in the income statement as a component of the provision for credit loss. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale from the estimate of credit losses. Investment securities available for sale are charged off against the allowance or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through the income statement when deemed uncollectible or when either of the aforementioned criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Corporation did not record an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available for sale as the unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates, not credit quality.

The allowance for credit losses on investment securities held to maturity is a contra asset-valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of investment securities held to maturity to present the net amount expected to be collected. Investment securities held to maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differcharged off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in the income statement as a component of the provision for credit loss. The Corporation measures expected credit losses on investment securities held to maturity on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities held to maturity from the estimate of credit losses. With regard to U.S. Government-sponsored agency and mortgage-backed securities, all these securities are issued by a U.S. government-sponsored entity and have an implicit or explicit government guarantee; therefore, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. With regard to securities issued by states and municipalities and other investment securities held to maturity, management considers (1) issuer bond ratings, (2) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (3) the financial condition of the issuer, and (4) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual maturities because issuers mayterms of the securities. Historical loss rates associated with securities having similar grades as those in the Corporation's portfolio have been insignificant. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2021, there were no past due principal and interest payments associated with these securities. An allowance for credit losses of $245,000 was recorded on the rightstate and municipal securities classified as held to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Corporation's management believes the decline in fair value for these securities was temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income during the period the other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") is identified. The Corporation’s management has evaluated all securities with unrealized losses for OTTI and concluded no OTTI existed at September 30, 2020.

In determining the fair value of the investment securities portfolio, the Corporation utilizes a third party for portfolio accounting services, including market value input, for those securities classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  The Corporation has obtained an understanding of what inputs are being used by the vendor in pricing the portfolio and how the vendor classified these securities based upon these inputs.  From these discussions, the Corporation’s management is comfortable that the classifications are proper.  The Corporation has gained trust in the data for two reasons:  (a) independent spot testing of the data is conducted by the Corporation through obtaining market quotes from various brokers on a periodic basis; and (b) actual gains or loss resulting from the sale of certain securities has proven the data to be accurate over time.   Fair value of securities classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy was determined using a discounted cash flow model that incorporated market estimates of interest rates and volatility in markets that have not been active.

State and Municipal Securities, U.S. Government-Sponsored Agency Securities and Foreign Investment Securities
The unrealized losses on the Corporation's investments in securities of state and political subdivisions, U.S. Government-Sponsored Agency securities and foreign investment securities were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Corporation does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020. The state and municipal securities portfolio contains unrealized losses of $187,000 on 13 securities and $1,240,000 on NaN securities in the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation had little to no exposure to municipal bonds related to entertainment receipts, student housing, parking facilities, airports, nursing homes or public transit. The U.S. Government-Sponsored Agency securities portfolio contains no unrealized losses in the available for sale portfolio, and unrealized losses of $33,000 on 2 securities in the held to maturity portfolio. The foreign investment securities portfolio contains no unrealized losses in the available for sale portfolio, and an unrealized loss of $2,000 on 1 security in the held to maturity portfolio.

U.S. Government-Sponsored Mortgage-Backed Securities

The unrealized losses on the Corporation's investment in mortgage-backed securities were a result of interest rate changes. The Corporation expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity,maturity. At June 30, 2021, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio contains no unrealized losses of $7.4 million on NaN securities in the available for sale portfolio, and an unrealized loss of $3,000 on 1 security in the held to maturity portfolio. All these securities are issued by a government-sponsored entity.

State and Municipal Securities, U.S. government-sponsored entityGovernment-Sponsored Agency Securities and Corporate Obligation Securities
The unrealized losses on the Corporation's investments in securities of state and political subdivisions, U.S. Government-Sponsored Agency securities and corporate obligations were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The Corporation does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. At June 30, 2021, the state and municipal securities portfolio contains unrealized losses of $518,000 on NaN securities in the available for sale portfolio.
The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have an implicitthe right to call or explicit government guarantee. The slowing of prepayments and the forbearance programs resulting from the financial impacts of COVID-19 could increase bond duration and potentially improve market values on these securities.prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

On March 27, 2020,As of June 30, 2021, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law, providing an approximately $2 trillion stimulus package that includes direct payments to individual taxpayers, economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors, emergency funding for hospitals and providers, small business loans, increased unemployment benefits, and a varietyCorporation had $415.8 million of tax incentives. For small businesses, eligible nonprofits and certain others, the CARES Act established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”("PPP"), which is administered by loans compared to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On April 24,December 31, 2020 the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act was enacted. Among other things, this legislation amends the initial CARES Act program by raising the appropriation level forbalance of $667.1 million. PPP loans from $349 billion to $670 billion. The PPP was further modified on June 5, 2020 with the adoption of the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act ("the Flexibility Act"), which extended the maturity date for PPP loans from two years to five years for loans disbursed on or after the date of enactment of the Flexibility Act. For PPP loans disbursed prior to such enactment, the Flexibility Act permits the borrower and lender to mutually agree to extend the term of the loan to five years. The Bank has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans earn interest at a fixed rate of 1 percent and primarily have a two year term. The Bank anticipates that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven, in whole or in part, by the SBA as, in accordance with the terms of the PPP, the loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had funded over 5,200 PPP loans, primarilyincluded in the commercial and industrial loan class, totaling $901.4 million, netclass. Additional details of deferred processing feesthe PPP are included in The CARES Act and costs of $21.5 million. The Bank borrowed from the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPL Facility") to supplement liquidity to fundsections of the PPP loans"COVID-19 UPDATE" in the second quarter 2020. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation did not have an outstanding balance with the PPPL Facility.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q.

Allowance, Credit Quality and Loan Portfolio

The original implementation dateAs part of the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model for calculating the Allowance for Credit Losses guided by FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit losses on Financial Instruments was January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the CARES Act and the related joint statement of federal banking regulators (which also became effective as of March 27, 2020), and consistent with guidance from the SEC and FASB, the Corporation elected to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13. As discussed below, ASU No. 2016-13, provides for the replacementongoing monitoring of the incurred loss model for recording the allowance for loan losses with CECL. However, as a resultcredit quality of the Corporation’s election, its 2020 financial statements have been prepared under the existing incurred loss model. As the temporary relief applicable to the Corporation’s compliance with CECL will end no later than December 31, 2020, the Corporation will implement CECL during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover probable credit losses identified during its loan review process. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses inherent in theCorporation's loan portfolio, at September 30, 2020. The process for determiningmanagement tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to: (i) the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is critical to the Corporation’s financial results. It requires management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments to estimate the effect of uncertain matters. The allowance for loan losses considers current factors, including economic conditions and ongoing internal and external examinations, and will increase or decrease as deemed necessary to ensure it remains adequate. In addition, the allowance as a percentage of charge-offs and nonperforming loans will change at different points in time based on credit performance, portfolio mix and collateral values.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings. The allowance is increased by provision expense and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. All charge-offs are approved by the Bank's senior credit officers and in accordance with established policies. The Bank charges off a loan when a determination is made that all or a portion of the loan is uncollectable. The amount provided for loan losses in a given period may be greater than or less than net loan losses experienced during the period, and is based on management’s judgment as to the appropriate level of criticized commercial loans, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii) non-performing loans, (iv) covenant failures and (v) the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the provision amount is based on management’s ongoing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio, including an internally administered loan "watch" list and independent loan reviews. The evaluation takes into consideration identified credit problems, the possibility of losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are not specifically identified and management’s judgment as to the impact of the current environment and economic conditions on the portfolio.

The allowance consists of specific impairment reserves as required by ASC 310-10-35, a component for historical losses in accordance with ASC 450 and the consideration of current environmental factors in accordance with ASC 450. A loan is deemed impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that all amounts due of principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.

The historical loss allocation for loans not deemed impaired according to ASC 450 is the product of the volume of loans within the non-impaired criticized and non-criticized risk grade classifications, each segmented by call code, and the historical loss factor for each respective classification and call code segment. The historical loss factors are based upon actual loss experience within each risk and call code classification. The historical look back period for non-criticized loans looks to the most recent rolling-four-quarter average and aligns with the look back period for non-impaired criticized loans. Each of the rolling four quarter periods used to obtain the average, include all charge-offs for the previous twelve-month period, therefore the historical look back period includes seven quarters. The resulting allocation is reflective of current conditions. Criticized loans are grouped based on the risk grade assigned to the loan. Loans with a special mention grade but not impaired are assigned a loss factor, and loans with a classified grade but not impaired are assigned a separate loss factor. The loss factor computation for this allocation includes a segmented historical loss migration analysis of risk grades to charge-off.

In addition to the specific reserves and historical loss components of the allowance, consideration is given to various environmental factors to ensure that losses inherent in the portfolio are reflected in the allowance for loan losses. The environmental component adjusts the historical loss allocations for non-impaired loans to reflect relevant current conditions that, in management's opinion, have an impact on loss recognition. Environmental factors that management reviews in the analysis include:general national and local economic trends and conditions; trends in growth in the loan portfolio and growth in higher risk areas; levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and non-accruals; experience and depth of lending management and staff; adequacy of, and adherence to, lending policies and procedures including those for underwriting; industry concentrations of credit; and adequacy of risk identification systems and controls through the internal loan review and internal audit processes.

In conformance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, purchased loans are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Such loans are included in the allowance to the extent a specific impairment is identified that exceeds the fair value adjustment on an impaired loan or the historical loss and environmental factor analysis indicates losses inherent in a purchased portfolio exceeds the fair value adjustment on the portion of the purchased portfolio not deemed impaired.conditions.

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans that have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as an asset is not warranted. Loans will be classified as Loss when it is neither practical or desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

Loans are reclassified to a non-accruing status when, in management’s judgment, the collateral value and financial condition of the borrower do not justify accruing interest. All unpaid accrued interest is reversed against earnings when considered uncollectible and at the time accrual is discontinued. Payments subsequently received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. A loan is returned to accrual status when principal and interest are no longer past due and collectability is probable, typically after a minimum of six consecutive months of performance.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s non-accrual loans by loan class for the periods indicated:

Determining fair value for collateral dependent loans requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor, which includes selling costs if applicable, to the value. The fair value of real estate is generally based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis. Fair value on other collateral such as business assets is typically ascertained by assessing, either singularly or some combination of, asset appraisals, accounts receivable aging reports, inventory listings and or customer financial statements. Both appraised values and values based on borrower’s financial information are discounted as considered appropriate based on age and quality of the information and current market conditions.

As detailed in NOTE 1. GENERAL of these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the Bank's banking regulators issued guidance in March 2020 encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act had further provided that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. In accordance with that guidance, the Bank has offered short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included short-term, 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 extended the expiration date for COVID-related loan modifications exempt from troubled debt restructuring classification until the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the termination of the national emergency. Details of the Corporation's modifications are included in the "LOAN QUALITY" section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q.

In certain loan restructuring situations, the Corporation may grant a concession to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty, resulting in a troubled debt restructuring. A concession is deemed to be granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Corporation does not expect to collect all original amounts due, including interest accrued at the original contract rate. If the payment of principal at original maturity is primarily dependent on the value of collateral, the current value of the collateral is considered in determining whether the principal will be repaid.

The following tables summarize troubled debt restructures in the Corporation's loan portfolio that occurred during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Commercial troubled debt restructured loans risk graded special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss are individually evaluated for impairment are comprised of commercialapparent loss and consumer loans deemed impairedmay result in accordance with ASC 310-10. This includes loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality totaling $3,738,000 with $116,000 of relateda specific reserve allocation in the allowance for credit loss. Commercial troubled debt restructures that aren't individually evaluated for a specific reserve are included in the calculation of allowance for credit losses through the loan segment loss analysis.

For all consumer loan modifications, an evaluation to identify if a troubled debt restructure has occurred is performed prior to making the modification. Any subsequent deterioration is addressed through the charge-off process or through a specific reserve allocation included in the allowance for credit loss. Consumer troubled debt restructures that are not individually evaluated for a specific reserve are included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses through the loan segment loss analysis. Consumer loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process totaled $3.2 million and $492,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans ("ACL - Loans") is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans over the contractual term. The ACL - Loans is adjusted by the provision for credit losses, which is reported in earnings, and $2,819,000reduced by charge offs for loans, net or recoveries. Provision for credit losses on loans reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period including any necessary increases or decreases in the allowance related to changes in credit loss expectations associated with $124,000specific loans or pools of loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when the uncollectibility of the loan is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off.

The allowance represents the Corporation’s best estimate of current expected credit losses on loans using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The current expected credit loss ("CECL") calculation is performed and evaluated quarterly and losses are estimated over the expected life of the loan. The level of the allowance for credit losses is believed to be adequate to absorb all expected future losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the measurement date.

In calculating the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio was pooled into ten loan segments with similar risk characteristics. Common characteristics include the type or purpose of the loan, underlying collateral and historical/expected credit loss patterns. In developing the loan segments, the Corporation analyzed the degree of correlation in how loans within each portfolio respond when subjected to varying economic conditions and scenarios as well as other portfolio stress factors.

The expected credit losses are measured over the life of each loan segment utilizing the Probability of Default / Loss Given Default methodology combined with economic forecast models to estimate the current expected credit loss inherent in the loan portfolio. This approach is also leveraged to estimate the expected credit losses associated with unfunded loan commitments incorporating expected utilization rates.

The Corporation sub-segmented certain commercial portfolios by risk level and certain consumer portfolios by delinquency status where appropriate. The Corporation utilized a four-quarter reasonable and supportable economic forecast period followed by a six-quarter, straight-line reversion period to the historical macroeconomic mean for the remaining life of the loans. Econometric modeling was performed using historical default rates and a selection of economic forecast scenarios published by Moody’s to develop a range of estimated credit losses for which to determine the best credit loss estimate within. Macroeconomic factors utilized in the modeling process include the national unemployment rate, BBB US corporate index, CRE price index and the home price index.

The Corporation qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not inherently considered in the quantitative modeling process, but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan portfolio. These adjustments may increase or decrease the estimate of expected credit losses based upon the assessed level of risk for each qualitative factor. The various risks that may be considered in making qualitative adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, (ii) changes in the existence, growth and effect of any concentrations in credit, (iii) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries, (iv) changes in the quality of the credit review function, (v) changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff, and (vi) other environmental factors such as regulatory, legal and technological considerations, as well as competition.

In some cases, management may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate the loan from other loans within the loan segments. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific reserve allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management's assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at December 31, 2019.the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. The fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans is evaluated on a quarterly basis.

No allowance for credit losses has been recognized for PPP loans as such loans are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA").

The risk characteristics of the Corporation’s material portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial

Commercial lending is primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the tangible assets being financed such as equipment or real estate or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee. Other loans may be unsecured, secured but under-collateralized or otherwise made on the basis of the enterprise value of an organization. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate

TheseCommercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. ManagementThe Corporation monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk grade criteria. In addition, management trackscriteria, as well as the levellevels of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

Construction
Construction loans are underwritten utilizing a combination of tools and techniques including feasibility and market studies, independent appraisals and appraisal reviews, absorption and interest rate sensitivity analysis as well as the financial analysis of the developer and all guarantors. Construction loans are monitored by either in house or third party inspectors limiting advances to a percentage of costs or stabilized project value. These loans frequently involve the disbursement of significant funds with the repayment dependent upon the successful completion and, where necessary, the future stabilization of the project. The predominant inherent risk of this portfolio is associated with the borrower's ability to successfully complete a project on time, within budget and stabilize the projected as originally projected.

Consumer and Residential

With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences, andwhich are typically owner occupied, the Corporation generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans, are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit.credit, are unsecured. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers whichand can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment on loans secured by 1-4 family residences canalso be impacted by changes in property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Loans are reclassified to a non-accruing status when, in management’s judgment, the collateral value and financial condition of the borrower do not justify accruing interest. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against earnings when considered uncollectable. Payments subsequently received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. A loan is returned to accrual status when principal and interest are no longer past due and collectability is probable, typically after a minimum of six consecutive months of performance. Payments received on impaired accruing or delinquent loans are applied to interest income as accrued.

Individuals' loans for household and other personal expenditures48 44 
Public finance and other commercial loans— — 
Total$56,739 $15,949 


Non-accrual loans increased $40.8 million from December 31, 2019. An increase of $36.0 million was attributed to the commercial and farmland segment, specifically non-owner occupied commercial real estate, as three relationships were moved to non-accrual during the second and third quarters of 2020. These three relationships involve four properties, three of which total $31.2 million in the senior living sector and the fourth totaled $3.4 million in the self-storage sector. Additionally, $4.7 million of the increase in non-accrual loans was in the commercial and industrial loans segment. This largest portion of this increase was due to the addition of a $2.8 million loan in the university logo apparel sports industry.

Impaired loans include loans deemed impaired according to the guidance set forth in ASC 310-10. Commercial loans under $500,000 and consumer loans, with the exception of troubled debt restructures, are not individually evaluated for impairment.

Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method for measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor, which includes selling costs if applicable, to the value. The fair value of real estate is generally based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis. Fair value on other collateral such as business assets is typically ascertained by assessing, either singularly or some combination of, asset appraisals, accounts receivable aging reports, inventory listings andor customer financial statements. Both appraised values and values based on borrower’s financial information are discounted as considered appropriate based on age and quality of the information and current market conditions.

Impaired loans in the above tables do not include loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, or any other loan, unless deemed impaired in accordance with ASC 310-10.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Corporation's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to: (i) the level of criticized commercial loans, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii) non-performing loans, (iv) covenant failures and (v) the general national and local economic conditions.
The Corporation utilizes a risk grading of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss to assess the overall credit quality of large commercial loans. All large commercial credit grades are reviewed at a minimum of once a year for pass grade loans. Loans with grades below pass are reviewed more frequently depending on the grade. A description of the general characteristics of these grades is as follows:

Pass - Loans that are considered to be of acceptable credit quality.
Special Mention - Loans which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which deserves close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Corporation's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The key distinctions of this category's classification are that it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk; and weaknesses are considered “potential”, not “defined”, impairments to the primary source of repayment. Examples include businesses that may be suffering from inadequate management, loss of key personnel or significant customer or litigation.

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Other characteristics may include:
othe likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain or financial deterioration is underway and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss,
othe primary source of repayment is gone, and the Corporation is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees,
oloans have a distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected,
ounusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment,
othe borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments,
othe Corporation is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation,
oloans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms,
othe Corporation is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration of the loan, and
othere is significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable.

Doubtful - Loans that have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly questionable and improbable. Other credit characteristics may include considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary sources of repayment. The possibility of loss is high, but because of certain important pending factors that may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known.

Loss – Loans that are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuing to carry them as an asset is not warranted. Loans will be classified as Loss when it is neither practical not desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

As shown in the tables above, the level of total loan delinquencies has increased $14.7 million during the first nine months of 2020. The increases were primarily related to the 60-89 days past due commercial and farmland category, which increased $9.9 million due to one relationship, and the 30-59 days past due construction category, which increased $5.9 million due primarily to one $7.5 million relationship.

On occasion, borrowers experience declines in income and cash flow. As a result, these borrowers seek to reduce contractual cash outlays including debt payments. Concurrently, in an effort to preserve and protect its earning assets, specifically troubled loans, the Corporation works to maintain its relationship with certain customers who are experiencing financial difficulty by contractually modifying the borrower's debt agreement with the Corporation.
On March 22, 2020, a statement was issued by the Bank's banking regulators and titled the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” (the "Interagency Statement") that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised on April 7, 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. In accordance with such guidance, the Bank has offered short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included short-term, typically 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. These loans are not considered troubled debt restructures under the applicable guidance at September 30, 2020. Details of the Corporation's modifications are included in the "LOAN QUALITY/PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q.
In certain loan restructuring situations, the Corporation may grant a concession to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty, resulting in a troubled debt restructuring. A concession is deemed to be granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Corporation does not expect to collect all original amounts due, including interest accrued at the original contract rate. If the payment of principal at original maturity is primarily dependent on the value of collateral, the current value of the collateral is considered in determining whether the principal will be repaid.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments And Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Corporation has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments which include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are usually the result of lines of credit granted to existing borrowers under agreements that the total outstanding indebtedness will not exceed a specific amount during the term of the indebtedness. Typical borrowers are commercial concerns that use lines of credit to supplement their treasury management functions, and thus their total outstanding indebtedness may fluctuate during any time period based on the seasonality of their business and the resultant timing for their cash flows. Other typical lines of credit are related to home equity loans granted to customers. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require a fee.

Standby letters of credit are generally issued on behalf of an applicant (the Corporation’s customer) to a specifically named beneficiary and are the result of a particular business arrangement that exists between the applicant and the beneficiary. Standby letters of credit have fixed expiration dates and are usually for terms of two years or less unless terminated beforehand due to criteria specified in the standby letter of credit. The standby letter of credit would permit the beneficiary to obtain payment from the Corporation under certain prescribed circumstances. Subsequently, the Corporation would seek reimbursement from the applicant pursuant to the terms of the standby letter of credit.

The Corporation typically follows the same credit policies and underwriting practices when making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer’s creditworthiness is typically evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, real estate, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and personal property.

The contractual amounts of these commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements and only amounts drawn upon would be reflected in the future. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should the Corporation’s customers default on their resulting obligation to the Corporation, the maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those commitments.

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows:

Amounts of commitments:
Loan commitments to extend credit$3,884,912 $3,443,514 
Standby letters of credit$32,505 $29,555 


The adoption of the CECL methodology for measuring credit losses, as discussed more fully in the Allowance for Credit Loss on Loans section of this Note, and in NOTE 1. GENERAL of these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, increased the opening balance of our accrual for off-balance sheet commitments at adoption by $20.5 million. This reserve level remains appropriate and is reported in Other Liabilities as of June 30, 2021 in the CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of an entity. During the one-year measurement period, the Corporation may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date. The MBTHoosier acquisition on September,April, 1, 20192021 resulted in $98,563,000$1,467,000 of goodwill, which includes a measurement period adjustment of $719,000.goodwill. Details regarding the MBT acquisition are discussed in NOTE 2. ACQUISITION of these Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. There have been no changes in goodwill since December 31, 2019, resulting in a goodwill balance of $543,918,000 as of September 30, 2020.

The Corporation reviews goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value might be impaired. The impairment analysis compares the estimated fair value of the Corporation (the reporting unit) with the Corporation's net book value. The Corporation performed its annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1, 2019. On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill. Subsequent to the October 1, 2019 impairment test and adoption of ASU 2017-04, the Corporation experienced a decline in market capitalization as a result of a decline in the share price of the Corporation's common stock. At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Corporation assessed the economic impact and market conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Corporation assessed the general uncertainty as to the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on economic recovery and concluded goodwill was not impaired in either period.

At September 30, 2020, the Corporation performed an additional goodwill impairment test which included various valuation considerations including comparable peer data, precedent transaction comparables, discounted cash flow analysis, overall financial performance, share price of the Corporation's common stock and other factors. The testing resulted in a conclusion that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Corporation had declined below its carrying value; therefore, goodwill was not impaired at September 30, 2020. Goodwill assessments are highly sensitive to economic projections and the related assumptions used by management. In the event of a prolonged economic downturn or further deterioration in the economic outlook, continued assessments of our goodwill balance will likely be required in future periods.

CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES

Core deposit intangibles are recorded on the acquisition date of an entity. During the one-year measurement period, the Corporation may record subsequent adjustments to these intangibles for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date. The MBT acquisition on September 1, 2019 resulted in a core deposit intangible of $16,527,000. Details regarding the MBTHoosier acquisition are discussed in NOTE 2.

NOTE 87

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Corporation is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Corporation principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Corporation manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Corporation enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Corporation’s known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable-rate liabilities.  The Corporation also has derivatives that are a result of a service the Corporation provides to certain qualifying customers, and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Corporation’s assets or liabilities.  The Corporation manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments offered as a part of this service to its customers in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Corporation’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Corporation primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of fixed amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation receiving variable payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the Corporation had 3 interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $36.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. As of2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Corporation had 4 interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $46.0$60.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. A $10.0 million interest rate swap used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with a Federal Home Loan Bank advance matured in the third quarter of 2020.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
During 2020,2021, $26.0 million of the interest rate swaps were used to hedge the variable cash outflows (LIBOR-based) associated with existing trust preferred securities when the outflows converted from a fixed rate to variable rate in September of 2012.  In addition, the remaining $10.0 million of interest rate swaps were used to hedge the variable cash outflows (LIBOR-based) associated with 1one Federal Home Loan Bank advance.advances. Finally, the remaining $24.0 million of interest rate swaps were used to hedge the variable cash outflows (Ameribor-based) associated with a brokered deposit. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Corporation did not recognize any ineffectiveness.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Corporation's variable-rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Corporation expects to reclassify $1,016,000$1.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

The Corporation does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Corporation provides to certain customers. The Corporation executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies.  Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Corporation executes with a third party, such that the Corporation minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the notional amount of customer-facing swaps was approximately $878,640,000$1.0 billion and $692,287,000,$985.0 million, respectively.  These amounts are offset with third party counterparties, as described above.

The Corporation's derivative asset and derivative liability relating to interest rate contracts increased $54.2 million and $55.0 million, respectively, from December 31, 2019. The increases are primarily due to a $176.4 million increase in the related outstanding notional balance. Additionally, yield curve rates used for valuation purposes were lower at each term point as of September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. This was primarily the result of investors seeking the safety of U.S. Treasuries, coupled with Federal Reserve purchases of U.S. Treasuries, as containment efforts related to the COVID-19 outbreak began to significantly reduce economic activity.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit risk occurs because of nonperformance by its counterparties.  The counterparties approved by the Corporation are usually financial institutions, which are well capitalized and have credit ratings through Moody’s and/or Standard & Poor’s at or above investment grade.  The Corporation’s control of such risk is through quarterly financial reviews, comparing mark-to-market values with policy limitations, credit ratings and collateral pledging.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Corporation has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Corporation fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the Corporation could be required to terminate or fully collateralize all outstanding derivative contracts. Additionally, the Corporation has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Corporation defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Corporation could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $81,962,000.$47.8 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $75,415,000.$62.8 million. While the Corporation did not breach any of these provisions as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, if it had, the Corporation could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.


NOTE 98 

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Corporation used fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 applies only when other guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value; it does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It represents an exit price at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers, who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability being measured. Current market conditions, including imbalances between supply and demand, are considered in determining fair value. The Corporation values its assets and liabilities in the principal market where it sells the particular asset or transfers the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity. In the absence of a principal market, the valuation is based on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability (i.e., the market where the asset could be sold or the liability transferred at a price that maximizes the amount to be received for the asset or minimizes the amount to be paid to transfer the liability).

Valuation inputs refer to the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a given asset or liability. Inputs can be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are those assumptions which market participants would use in pricing the particular asset or liability. These inputs are based on market data and are obtained from a source independent of the Corporation. Unobservable inputs are assumptions based on the Corporation’s own information or estimate of assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best and most current information available on the measurement date. All inputs, whether observable or unobservable, are ranked in accordance with a prescribed fair value hierarchy which gives the highest ranking to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market activity (Level 3). Fair values for assets or liabilities classified as Level 2 are based on one or a combination of the following factors: (i) quoted prices for similar assets; (ii) observable inputs for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on

(Unaudited)



the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Corporation considers an input to be significant if it drives 10 percent or more of the total fair value of a particular asset or liability.

RECURRING MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities are considered to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly). Recurring valuation occurs at a minimum on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities are considered to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the balance sheet. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements which require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of assets or liabilities transferred in or out of Level 3 is measured on the transfer date, with any additional changes in fair value subsequent to the transfer considered to be realized or unrealized gains or losses.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the
accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Corporation currently has no securities classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. Where significant observable inputs, other than Level 1 quoted prices, are available, securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 2 securities include U.S. treasury securities, government-sponsored agency and mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal securities and corporate obligations securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include state and municipal securities, government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and corporate obligations securities. Level 3 fair value for securities was determined using a discounted cash flow model that incorporated market estimates of interest rates and volatility in markets that have not been active.

Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment security not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

Impaired Loans (collateral dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Corporation will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan is confirmed. During 20192020 and 2020,2021, certain impaired loans were partially charged off or re-evaluated. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value for impaired loans and other real estate owned is measured based on the value of the collateral securing those loans or real estate and is determined using several methods. The fair value of real estate is generally determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value on other collateral such as business assets is typically ascertained by assessing, either singularly or some combination of, asset appraisals, accounts receivable aging reports, inventory listings and/or customer financial statements. Both appraised values and values based on borrower’s financial information are discounted as considered appropriate based on age and quality of the information and current market conditions.

The following is a discussion of the sensitivity of significant unobservable inputs, the interrelationships between those inputs and other unobservable inputs used in recurring fair value measurement and how those inputs might magnify or mitigate the effect of changes in the unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement.

State and Municipal Securities, Corporate Obligations and U.S. Government-sponsored Mortgage-Backed Securities

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation's state and municipal securities, corporate obligations and U.S. Government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities are premiums for unrated securities and marketability discounts. Significant increases or decreases in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, changes in either of those inputs will not affect the other input.

NOTE 1211

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock options and RSAs have been issued to directors, officers and other management employees under the Corporation's 2009 Long-term Equity Incentive Plan, the 2019 Long-term Equity Incentive Plan, and the Equity Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The stock options, which have a ten year life, become 100 percent vested based on time ranging from one year to two years and are fully exercisable when vested. Option exercise prices equal the Corporation's common stock closing price on NASDAQ on the date of grant. The RSAs issued to employees and non-employee directors provide for the issuance of shares of the Corporation's common stock at no cost to the holder and generally vest after 3 years.  The RSAs vest only if the employee is actively employed by the Corporation on the vesting date and, therefore, any unvested shares are forfeited.  For non-employee directors, the RSAs vest only if the non-employee director remains as an active board member on the vesting date and, therefore, any unvested shares are forfeited. The RSAs for employees and non-employee directors are either immediately vested at retirement, disability or death, or, continue to vest after retirement, disability or death, depending on the plan under which the shares were granted.

The Corporation’s 2009 ESPP and 2019 ESPP provideprovides eligible employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase shares of common stock of the Corporation through quarterly offerings financed by payroll deductions. The price of the stock to be paid by the employees shall be equal to 85 percent of the average of the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock on each trading day during the offering period. However, in no event shall such purchase price be less than the lesser of an amount equal to 85 percent of the market price of the Corporation’s stock on the offering date or an amount equal to 85 percent of the market value on the date of purchase. Common stock purchases are made quarterly and are paid through advance payroll deductions up to a calendar year maximum of $25,000. The 2009 ESPP expired on June 30, 2019.

Compensation expense related to unvested share-based awards is recorded by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards, with no change in historical reported fair values and earnings.  Awards are valued at
fair value in accordance with provisions of share-based compensation guidance and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the service periods of each award. To complete the exercise of vested stock options, RSA’s and ESPP options, the Corporation generally issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. Share-based compensation for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $1,135,000$1,208,000 and $3,568,000,$2,398,000, respectively, compared to $1,062,000$1,214,000 and $2,887,000,$2,433,000, respectively, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Share-based compensation has been recognized as a component of salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated to be approximately 0.40.5 percent for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, based on historical experience.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of the weighted-average shares outstanding during the reporting period and all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include stock options and RSAs issued under the Corporation's share-based compensation plans. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in the periods where the effect would be antidilutive.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, we include forward-looking statements in our oral and written communication. We may include forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in other written materials and in oral statements made by senior management to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of words like “believe”, “continue”, “pattern”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “expect” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “can”, “may”, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

statements of ourthe Corporation's goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding ourthe Corporation's business plan and growth strategies;
statements regarding the asset quality of ourthe Corporation's loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of ourthe Corporation's risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, among other things, the following important factors which could affect the actual outcome of future events:

fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing, which could negatively affect our net interest margin, asset valuations and expense expectations;
adverse changes in the economy, which might affect our business prospects and could cause credit-related losses and expenses;
the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on general economic and financial market conditions and our business, results of operations, and financial condition;
adverse developments in our loan and investment portfolios;
our participation as a lender in the PPP;
competitive factors in the banking industry, such as the trend towards consolidation in our market;
changes in the banking legislation or the regulatory requirements of federal and state agencies applicable to bank holding companies and banks like our affiliate bank;
acquisitions of other businesses by us and integration of such acquired businesses;
our ability to implement and comply with the Settlement Agreement and Agreed Order entered into with the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") related to our fair lending practices;
changes in market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business; and
the continued availability of earnings and excess capital sufficient for the lawful and prudent declaration and payment of cash dividends.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our anticipated future results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require us to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. We must use assumptions and estimates to apply those principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies, see “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. The uncertainties related to COVID-19 could cause significant changes to these estimates compared to what was known at the time these financial statements were prepared.

We believe there have been no significant changes during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020, with the exception of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL") on January 1, 2021. Certain accounting policies were revised and certain accounting policy elections were implemented, related to the adoption of CECL.

PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CECL replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompassed allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an "expected loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures based on historical experiences, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. CECL also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. In addition, CECL includes certain changes to the accounting for investment securities available for sale depending on whether management intends to sell the securities or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. See NOTE 1. GENERAL, NOTE 3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES and NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details of the accounting policy changes related to the adoption of CECL.

Most of these rules apply primarily to bank holding companies with at least $50 billion in total consolidated assets, but certain rules also apply to banks and bank holding companies with at least $10 billion in total consolidated assets. As the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was the fourth consecutive quarter that the Bank reported assets exceeding $10 billion, effective as of April 1, 2020, the Bank and its affiliates became subject to the supervisory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”). The CFPB, an independent federal agency created under the Dodd-Frank Act, was granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, primarily with authority over banks and their affiliates with assets of more than $10 billion. Prior to April 1, 2020, the Bank had been subject to the primary federal regulatory oversight and supervision of the FDIC.

As provided by the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, financial institutions with more than $10 billion in assets become subject to capped interchange fees in July of the year following the year-end assessment in which the $10 billion threshold was met. As a result, the Bank was subject to these interchange fee restrictions as of July 1, 2020.

COVID-19, THE CARES ACT AND RELATED REGULATORY ACTIONS

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced that the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") constituted a public health emergency of international concern. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related governmental actions taken to reduce the spreadvariant strains of the virus have significantly impactedspread, uncertainty remains about the global economy (including the states and local economies in which we operate), disrupted supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. As a resultultimate duration of the shelter in place mandates in effect early inpandemic and the second quartertiming and strength of 2020, commercial activity throughoutthe economic recovery. As the pandemic has evolved, we have continued to support our geographic footprint, as well as nationally, decreased significantly. Most states have reopened, albeit under limited capacities and under other social distancing restrictions; however, commercial activity has not returnedcustomers by providing assistance to those affected by the pandemic, including by working with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the levels existing prior toeffects of COVID-19 and by originating loans under the outbreak of the pandemic.Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

The continued impact of COVID-19 on the Corporation will depend on numerous factors and future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.  It is unknown how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, or when restrictions on individuals and businesses will be fully lifted and businesses and their employees will be able to resume normal activities.  Additional information may emerge regarding the severity of COVID-19 and additional actions may be taken by federal, state and local governments to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact.  Changes in the behavior of customers, businesses and their employees as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, including social distancing practices, even after formal restrictions have been lifted, are also unknown.  As a result of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or reduce its impact, we may experience changes in the demand for our products and services, changes in the value of collateral securing outstanding loans, reductions in the credit quality of borrowers and the inability of borrowers to repay loans in accordance with their terms.  Our commercial and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2020, especially if positive cases continue to increase and further economic shutdowns are mandated. These and similar factors and events may have substantial negative effects on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation and its customers.

We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and managing our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position. Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of actions to offer various forms of support to our customers, employees and communities that have experienced impacts from this development. The Corporation contributed approximately $1 million to non-profit organizations in our communities on the front lines of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to social distancing protocols, we have modified office locations by installing protective barriers, required the use of personal protective equipment and incurred additional cleaning and janitorial expense to disinfect banking centers and office locations.  Additionally, we have enhanced mobile and online services, such as increased mobile deposit limits, to allow more transactions to be completed outside the banking centers.  We have also provided customer alerts focused on COVID-19 scams and fraud education and prevention.

Interest Rates

On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") reduced the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00 percent to 1.25 percent. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0 percent to 0.25 percent on March 16, 2020. Additionally, there was a decline in one-month LIBOR from 99 basis points as of March 31, 2020 to 15 basis points on September 30, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak are likely to negatively impact the Corporation’s net interest income.

The CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program

On March 27, 2020,As previously reported, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law providing an approximately $2 trillion stimulus packagein March 2020, establishing the PPP, a lending program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that includes direct paymentswas intended to individual taxpayers, economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors, emergency funding for hospitals and providers, small business loans, increased unemployment benefits, and a variety of tax incentives.
Forincentivize small businesses, eligible nonprofits and certain others the CARES Act established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is administeredto retain their employees by providing them with loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On April 24, 2020,U.S. government and subject to forgiveness if program guidelines are met. The ability of borrowers to apply for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act was enacted. Among other things, this legislation amends the initial CARES Act program by raising the appropriation level for PPP loans from $349 billion to $670 billion. The PPP was further modifiedended on June 5, 2020May 31, 2021, with the adoption of the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (the Flexibility Act), which extended the maturity date for PPP loans from two yearsSBA having until June 30, 2021 to five years for loans disbursed on or after the date of enactment of the Flexibility Act. For PPP loans disbursed prior to such enactment, the Flexibility Act permits the borrower and lender to mutually agree to extend the term of theprocess loan to five years. applications.

The Bank has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources throughPPP funding during all phases of the program. The vast majority of the Bank’s PPP loans made in 2020 have two-year maturities, while the loans made in 2021 have five-year maturities. Loans under the program earn interest at a fixed rate of 1 percent. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank had over 3,200 PPP loans representing $415.8 million, which is net of $12.3 million of deferred processing fee income and costs. The weighted-average deferred processing fee on PPP loans was approximately 3.99 percent and primarily have a two-year term.is recognized over the term of the loan. As of June 30, 2021, $595.7 million of the Bank’s PPP loans had been forgiven by the SBA. The Bank anticipates that the majority of theseits remaining PPP loans will ultimatelyalso be forgiven in whole or in part, by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. Under the terms of the PPP, the loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA. On October 8, 2020, the SBA announced a streamlined forgiveness process for PPP loans of $50,000 or less. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had over 5,200 PPP loans representing $901.4 million, which is net of deferred processing fee income and costs of $21.5 million. The weighted-average deferred processing fee on PPP loans was approximately 3.26 percent and is recognized over the term of the loan. If a loan is forgiven by the SBA or paid off by the borrower prior to maturity, any unamortized portion of the fee will be recognized immediately. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation recognized interest income on PPP loans of $3.8$1.6 million and $6.7$3.2 million, respectively, fromcompared to $1.8 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, PPP loan related deferred processing fee income of $8.2 million and $15.7 million was recorded during the three and six month ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $2.9 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. PPP deferred processing fee income is recorded as a yield adjustment. As of November 2, 2020, approximately 200 loans totaling $129.3 million have been submitted to the SBA for forgiveness and 60 loans totaling $35.1 million have been approved by the SBA for full forgiveness.

Main Street Business Lending Program

On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced its proposed Main Street emergency lending initiative as an additional measure to provide much-needed financial support to small and mid-sized businesses adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Main Street programs are intended to provide credit flows to financial institutions so that they can provide loans to eligible small and mid-sized businesses. The funds available through the Main Street programs amount to $600 billion. Under this initiative, which was modified and supplemented by the Federal Reserve on April 30, 2020, three loan facilities have been established for "for profit" entities: (i) the Main Street New Loan Facility (the “MSNLF), (ii) the Main Street Priority Loan Facility (the “MSPLF”); and (iii) the Main Street Expanded Loan Facility (the “MSELF”), each of which was authorized by the Federal Reserve under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. All three facilities use the same eligible lender and eligible borrower criteria, and have many of the same features, including the same maturity, interest rate, deferral of principal and interest for one year, and ability of the borrower to prepay without penalty. As required by the CARES Act, Main Street loans are full-recourse to the borrower and are not forgivable. The loan types differ in amounts and other terms, including in how they interact with the eligible borrower’s existing outstanding debt. The proposed minimum loan amounts under the MSNLF and the MSPLF were initially set at $250,000, but were lowered to $100,000 by the Federal Reserve effective October 30, 2020. The minimum loan amount under the MSELF has been set at $10 million. The maximum loan amount under all three programs is dependent upon the borrower's financial position. The Bank may participate in some or all of these programs.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility

To provide liquidity to small business lenders and the broader credit markets, to help stabilize the financial system, and to provide economic relief to small businesses nationwide, the Federal Reserve authorized each of the Federal Reserve Banks to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPL Facility”), pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act. Under the PPPL Facility, each of the Federal Reserve Banks will extend non-recourse loans to eligible financial institutions such as the Bank to fund loans guaranteed by the SBA under the PPP. The Bank has until December 31, 2020 to access funds under the PPPL Facility, unless further extended by the Federal Reserve and the Department of the Treasury. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation did not have an outstanding balance with the PPPL Facility.

Loan Modifications and Troubled Debt Restructures

On March 22, 2020, a statement was issued byAs previously reported, the Bank's banking regulators and titled the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” (the "Interagency Statement") that encouragesissued guidance in March 2020 encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act had further providesprovided that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised on April 7, 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. In accordance with suchthat guidance, the Bank has offered short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included short-term, 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. With the enactment of the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, which was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “CAA”), the CARES Act was amended to, among other things, extend the expiration date for COVID-related loan modifications exempt from troubled debt restructuring classification until the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the termination of the national emergency. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, $1762021, $40.3 million in loan balances remained in deferral.

CECL Implementation
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL") had an original adoption date of January 1, 2020, which included a day 1 measurement date of January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the CARES Act, which created an optional deferral of the CECL adoption date, and the related joint statement of federal banking regulators (which also became effective as ofin March 27, 2020), and consistent with guidance from the SEC and FASB, the Corporation has elected to delay implementation of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),the optional deferral of which would have become effective forwas set to expire on December 31, 2020. However, the CAA amended the CARES Act by extending the temporary relief from CECL compliance to the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates, or January 1, 2022. The Corporation elected to delay implementation of CECL following the approval of the CARES Act and, with the enactment of the CAA, the Corporation aselected to delay adoption of CECL to January 1, 2020.2021. As discussed in NOTE 1. GENERAL of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, ASU 2016-13, provides for the replacement of the incurred loss model for recording the allowance for loan losses with CECL. However, as a result of the Corporation’s election, its first, second and third quarter 2020 financial statements have been prepared under the existing incurred loss model. Asmodel and its 2021 financial statements have been prepared under the temporary relief applicable to the Corporation’s compliance with CECL will end no later than December 31, 2020, the Corporation will implement CECL during the fourth quarter of 2020.model.

Regulatory Capital

CECL Model. As part of thea March 27, 2020 joint statement of federal banking regulators, discussed above, an interim final rule that allowsallowed banking organizations to mitigate the effects of the CECL accounting standard on their regulatory capital was also announced. Banking organizations that are required under GAAP to adopt CECL during 2020 cancould elect to mitigate the estimated cumulative regulatory capital effects of CECL for up to two years. This two-year delay iswas to be in addition to the three-year transition period that federal banking regulators had already made available. While the CAA provided for a further extension of the mandatory adoption of CECL to the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates, or January 1, 2022, the federal banking regulators have elected to not provide a similar extension to the two year mitigation period applicable to regulatory capital effects. Instead, the federal banking regulators require that, in order to utilize the additional two-year delay, banking organizations must have adopted the CECL standard no later than December 31, 2020, as required by the CARES Act.

As discussed above, the Corporation has elected to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 until January 1, 2021 and, as described above, it expects to take advantage ofa result, will recognize the additional time permitted by this interim final rule, which will largely delay theimplementation effects of CECL on its regulatory capital through December 31, 2021.over a three-year transition period. Beginning on January 1, 2022,2021, the Corporation will be required to phasephased in 25 percent of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of CECL, with an additional 25 percent to be phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year untilthe following three years, resulting in the impact being fully phased in byon January 1, 2025. Under the interim final rule, the amount of adjustments to regulatory capital that can be deferred until the phase-in period includes both the initial impact of our adoption of CECL, and 25 percent of subsequent changes in our allowance for credit losses during each quarter following implementation of CECL until December 31, 2021.2024.

PPP Loans and PPPL Facility. On April 9, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interim final rule to modify the Basel III regulatory capital rules applicable to banking organizations to allow those organizations participating in the PPP to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the program. The interim final rule, which became effective on April 13, 2020, clarifies that PPP loans receive a zero percent risk weight for purposes of determining risk-weighted assets and the CET1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based capital ratios. At September 30, 2020, risk-weighted assets included $901.4 million of PPP loans at a zero risk weight. Additionally, in order to facilitate use of the PPPL Facility, the agencies have clarified that banking organizations, including the Corporation and the Bank, are allowed to neutralize the regulatory effects of PPP covered loans on the risk-based capital ratios, as well as PPP covered loans pledged under the PPPL Facility on the leverage capital ratios. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation did not have an outstanding balance with the PPPL Facility; therefore there were no adjustments to the leverage ratio for PPP loans.

Interest-bearing depositsTotal investment securities increased $155.7 million$1.0 billion from December 31, 2019 due to excess liquidity from deposit growth and an increase in wholesale funding. Additionally, total investment securities increased $337.2 million from December 31, 20192020 as a portion of the excess liquidity from deposit growth and additional wholesale funding was used to invest in the bond portfolio. Also contributing to the increase in investment securities was a $48.4 million increase in net unrealized gains on the available for sale portfolio. The net increase in unrealized gains from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 is primarily due to interest rate declines in 2020 as the longer term points on the yield curve have declined since year-end, which increases the fair value of securities in the portfolio.

The Corporation’s allowance for loancredit losses - loans totaled $126.7$199.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and equaled 1.372.19 percent of total loans. The Corporation'sCorporation adopted the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model for calculating the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2021. CECL
replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompassed allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an "expected loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures based on historical experiences, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. CECL also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. The impact of the adoption was an increase to the Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans of $74.1 million. Additional details of the Allowance methodology are discussed within NOTE 4.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses and provision expense primarily reflects our view of increased credit risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2021 were $1.3 million, compared to net charge-offs of $230,000 during the same period of 2020.

As a result of the CECL adoption on January 1, 2021, the cumulative effect of adoption resulted in a deferred tax asset of $22.0 million. Additionally, the decrease in unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities resulted in a $4.0 million decline in the deferred tax liability. Both, the increase in deferred tax asset from CECL adoption and the decrease in deferred tax liability related to unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities, increase the net deferred tax asset.

The Corporation previously announced a banking delivery transformation strategy, which included the consolidation of seventeen banking centers across its footprint by April 30, 2021. As those consolidations finalized in the second quarter of 2021, the fair value of the closed banking centers of $4.5 million was moved from premises and equipment to assets held for sale (recorded in other assets) while they are marketed for sale.

The Corporation experienced increases from December 31, 20192020 in demand and savings accounts of $1.0 billion$440.5 million and $622.1$495.8 million, respectively. A portion of the increase is due to PPP loans that have remained on deposit, in addition to consumer Economic Impact Payments from the IRS that have also remained on deposit. Offsetting these increases were decreases in certificates of deposit and brokered deposits of $468.1$77.0 million and $116.8$17.5 million, respectively, from December 31, 2019.2020.

Of the redemptions, $10.0 million was for a partial redemption of debentures heldutilized excess liquidity from deposit growth to pay off maturing advances. Additionally, securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased by First Merchants Capital Trust II (“FMC Trust”) and the remaining $10.0 million was for a complete redemption of debentures held by Grabill Capital Trust I ("Grabill Trust"). Both FMC Trust and Grabill Trust used the proceeds from the redemptions to concurrently redeem like amounts of their capital (preferred) securities, each with an aggregate principal redemption price of $10.0$30.2 million. The common securities of FMC Trust are, and the common securities of Grabill Trust were, held by the Corporation (recorded in other assets). Subsequent to the redemption of its capital securities, Grabill Trust was dissolved.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, comprising 7779 percent of revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Net interest income and margin are influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of earning assets, funding sources, and interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include the level of accretion income on purchased loans, prepayment risk on mortgage and investment-related assets, and the composition and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from customer deposits generally costscost less than wholesale funding sources. Factors such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve Board monetary policy, and price volatility of competing alternative investments, can also exert significant influence on our ability to optimize the mix of assets and funding and the net interest income and margin.

Net interest income is the excess of interest received from earning assets over interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For analytical purposes, net interest income is also presented on an FTE basis in the tables that follow to reflect what tax-exempt assets would need to yield in order to achieve the same after-tax yield as a taxable asset. The federal statutory rate of 21 percent was used for all periods, adjusted for the TEFRA interest disallowance applicable to certain tax-exempt obligations. The FTE analysis portrays the income tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets and helps to facilitate a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information for both management and investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.

ForNet interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 3 basis points to 3.22 percent for three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.19 percent for the same period in 2020. Average earning assets for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the increase in earning assets from2021 increased $1.4 billion compared to the same periodsperiod in 20192020, and was primarily attributable to the September 2019 MBT acquisition, an increase in investment securities and loans as a result of $901.4$1.1 billion and $101.9 million, respectively. Since the beginning of the PPP in April 2020, the Bank has originated over $1.2 billion of PPP loans, andwhich averaged $620.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was the result of excess liquidity generated from growth in deposits and wholesale funding that wasbeing used to invest in the securitiesbond portfolio. Details regarding the MBT acquisition and changes in earning assets are discussed in NOTE 2. ACQUISITION of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the "EARNING ASSETS" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021, FTE asset yields decreased 11923 basis points FTE compared to the same period in 2019.2020. This decrease was primarily a result of the FOMC's interest rate decreasesdecline in the Investment Portfolio yield of 5031 basis points on March 3, 2020 and 100 basis points on March 16, 2020 at the Committee's special meetings related to COVID-19. Moreover, the 2020 addition of $901.4 million of PPP loans negatively impacted margin by 7 basis points during the quarter. Interest costs decreased 87 basis points, contributing to a 32 basis point FTE decrease in net interest spread as compared to the same period in 2019. Interest costs have decreased as management aggressively moved deposit rates down, coupled with a decline in wholesale funding rates. Interest-bearing deposit and borrowing costs decreased from 1.332020. The PPP loans originated were recorded at an interest rate of only 1 percent, and 2.59 percent, respectively,but the Corporation also recognized fee income of $8.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, to 0.45 percent and 1.92 percent, respectively, during the same period in 2020. Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 3.15 percent for the thirdsecond quarter of 2020 compared to 3.62 percent during the same period2021, which is included in 2019.interest income.

The Corporation recognized fair value accretion income on purchased loans, which is included in interest income, of $3.3$2.5 million, which accounted for 107 basis points of net interest margin in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.2021. Comparatively, the Corporation recognized $2.5$3.7 million of accretion income for the thirdsecond quarter of 2019,2020, or 1012 basis points of net interest margin.

InInterest costs decreased 33 basis points, which mitigated the nine months ended September 30, 2020,decrease in asset yields decreased 96and resulted in a 10 basis pointspoint FTE increase in net interest spread as compared to the same period in 2019.2020. Interest costs have decreased as management aggressively moved deposit rates down. Interest-bearing deposits and borrowing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were 0.24 percent and 1.98 percent, respectively, compared to 0.59 percent and 1.55 percent, respectively, during the same period in 2020.

Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 9 basis points to 3.23 percent for six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.32 percent for the same period in 2020. Average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.6 billion compared to the same period in 2020, and was primarily attributable to an increase in investment securities and loans of $922.1 million and $406.0 million, respectively. PPP loans averaged $638.6 million in 2021. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was the result of excess liquidity generated from growth in deposits being used to invest in the bond portfolio.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, FTE asset yields decreased 53 basis points compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily a result of the FOMC's interest rate decreases of 50 basis points on March 3, 2020 and 100 basis points on March 16, 2020 at the Committee's special meetings related to COVID-19, and the decline in one-month LIBOR from 202June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021 of 6 basis points aspoints. Additionally, the yield of September 30, 2019 to 15the Investment Portfolio decreased 32 basis points on September 30, 2020. Interest costs decreased 62 basis points, contributing to a 34 basis point FTE decrease in net interest spread as compared to the same period in 2019. Interest costs have decreased as management aggressively moved deposit rates down, coupled with a decline in wholesale funding rates. Interest-bearing deposit and borrowing costs decreased from 1.292020. The PPP loans originated were recorded at an interest rate of only 1 percent, and 2.72 percent, respectively,but the Corporation also recognized fee income of $15.7 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 to 0.69 percent and 1.88 percent, respectively, during the same period2021, which is included in 2020. Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 3.26 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 3.72 percent during the same period in 2019.income.

The Corporation recognized fair value accretion income on purchased loans, which is included in interest income, of $10.5$4.3 million, which accounted for 127 basis points of net interest margin forin the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Comparatively, the Corporation recognized $7.0$7.2 million of accretion income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, or 1012 basis points of net interest margin.




Interest costs decreased 55 basis points, which mitigated the decrease in asset yields and resulted in a 2 basis point FTE increase in net interest spread as compared to the same period in 2020. Interest costs have decreased as management aggressively moved deposit rates down as wholesale funding rates declined. Interest-bearing deposits and borrowing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of 0.25 percent and 1.93 percent, respectively, decreased from 0.82 percent and 1.86 percent, respectively, during the same period in 2020.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $4.0totaled $30.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a $4.4 million, or 18.316.6 percent inincrease from the thirdsecond quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The continued low mortgage interest rate environment produced an increase of $3.6 million in net2020. Net gains and fees on sales of loans totaled $8.3 million during the quarter, a $4.7 million increase over the same period last year. Strong organic activity was enhanced by a $76.1 million portfolio mortgage loan sale that contributed a gain of $2.9 million during the quarter. Additionally, fiduciary and wealth management fees increased $1.9 million and service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.3 million when compared to the same period in 2019. Additionally,2020.

These increases were partially reduced by the larger customer base resulting from the MBT acquisitionimpact on September 1, 2019, in addition to organic growth, resulted in an increase in fiduciary and wealth managementcard payment fees of $1.5 million.

Finally, net realized gains on the sales of available for sale securities increased by $1.4decreased $1.3 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 when compared to the same period in 2019.2020.

These increases were partially offset byDuring the first six months of 2021, non-interest income totaled $55.0 million, a decrease in card payment fee income of $1.2$1.3 million, in the third quarter of 2020 when compared to the third quarter of 2019. While the larger customer base resulting from the MBT acquisition and organic growth resulted in increased transaction volume, the cap placed on interchange fee income as a result of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act became effective for the Bank July 1, 2020 and resulted in over $2 million less in interchange revenue. Additionally, service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $898,000 in the third quarter of 2020or 2.3 percent decrease when compared to the same period in 2019 mainly due to higher than normal customer deposit balances as a result of stimulus funds received2020. The largest decrease was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in significantly lower non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

During the first nine months of 2020, non-interest income increased $20.0 million, or 32.0 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. The larger customer base and the low mortgage interest rate environment combined to produce an increase of $7.6 million in net gains and fees on sales of loans. Additionally, the larger customer base from the MBT acquisition, in addition to organic growth, resulted in increases in fiduciary and wealth management fees, card payment fees, and derivative hedge fees of $5.3 million, $1.2 million and $744,000, respectively. Finally, net realized gains on the sales of available for sale securities, increasedwhich declined by $6.1$4.1 during the comparable period. Additionally, the Durbin Amendment adoption resulted in a decrease in card payment fees of $3.5 million and the interest rate environment resulted in derivative hedge fees being $1.7 million lower in the first ninesix months of 20202021 when compared to the same period in 2019.2020.

The increases noted aboveThese decreases were partially offset by a decreasean increases in service chargesnet gains and fees on deposit accountssales of $1.1loans and fiduciary and wealth management fees of $5.3 million mainly due to higher than normal customer deposit balances as a result of stimulus funds received in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in significantly lower non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees during the first nine months of 2020$2.3 million, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2019.2020.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense decreased $2.6totaled $69.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, a $9.3 million, or 3.915.5 percent increase from the second quarter of 2020. Non-interest expenses in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020 comparedwere unusually low and reflected a $2.3 million deferral of salary expense related to PPP loan originations, a $1.1 million reduction in bonus accruals and a $1.6 million decrease in processing fees related to the thirdtermination of a debit card rewards program. In addition to the unusually low expenses noted in 2020, salary and incentive expenses increased in the second quarter of 2019.  The acquisition of MBT on September 1, 2019 was the largest contributing factor to the decrease. In the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation recorded acquisition related expenses of $11.2 million primarily consisting of $5.2 million of contract terminations and core conversion expenses, $4.5 million of employee severance and retention expenses and $1.3 million of professional and other outside services expense.2021 based upon current year financial results.

WhileDuring the third quarterfirst six months of 2020 did not have the acquisition related expenses noted above, the larger franchise and growth in our customer base from the acquisition and organic growth resulted in increases in most2021, non-interest expense categories with the largest being in salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy, and equipment which accounted fortotaled $135.4 million, a $6.7$9.2 million, or 7.3 percent increase in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, FDIC assessment expense increased $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, when compared to the same period in 2019, due2020. The largest contributing factor to a combination of 2019 reflecting assessment credits issued as a result of the FDIC insurance fund reaching the FDIC's target minimum reserve ratio and increased expense in the current year resulting fromincrease is the Corporation's FDIC assessment changing to the calculation applicable to banks over $10 billion in total assets. Finally, the Corporation incurred $618,000 of additional expense in the thirdunusually low second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, mainly in net occupancy and equipment costs, in response to social distancing and cleaning protocols related to actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-interest expense increased $9.3 million, or 5.1 percent, in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The MBT acquisition on September 1, 2019 resulted in increases in most non-interest expense categories due to the larger franchise and growth in our customer base with the largest increases in salariesexpenses noted above. Salaries and employee benefits net occupancy, and equipment accounting for an increase of $14.3 million. Additionally, FDIC assessment expense increased $3.5by $6.3 million in the first ninesix months of 2020,2021 when compared to the same period in 2019,2020. In addition to the $3.4 million noted above from lower 2020 expenses, the remaining increase of $2.9 million was primarily due to a combination of 2019 reflecting assessment credits issued as a result of the FDIC insurance fund reaching the FDIC's target minimum reserve ratiohigher salary and increased expense in the current year resulting from the Corporation's FDIC assessment changing to the calculation applicable to banks over $10 billion in total assets. The Corporation also incurred $2.0 million of additional expenseincentive expenses in the first ninesix months of 2020,2021 when compared to the same period of 2019, related to actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which included approximately $1.0 million recorded in marketing expense for donations to non-profit organizations in our communities on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic efforts and approximately $1.0 million in net occupancy and equipment costs in response to social distancing and cleaning protocols.2020.

The increases noted above, for the nine-month period, were partially offset by the acquisition of MBT on September 1, 2019, as the Corporation recorded $11.9 million of acquisition-related expenses, primarily consisting of $5.2 million of contract termination and core system conversion expenses, $4.5 million of employee severance and retention expenses and $1.5 million of professional and other outside services expense. Additionally, the decrease in outside data processing fees of $1.5 million, when comparing the first nine months of 2020 to the first nine months of 2019, is mainly related to the sunsetting of a debit rewards program. Finally, the increase noted above in marketing expense was offset by a decrease of $1.2 million related to the fair lending settlement expense incurred in 2019.

Income tax expense for the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 was $5,621,000$10,294,000 on pre-tax net income of $41,831,000.$65,853,000.  For the same period in 2019,2020, income tax expense was $6,337,000$4,623,000 on pre-tax net income of $43,094,000.$37,615,000. The effective income tax rates for the thirdsecond quarter of 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were 13.415.6 percent and 14.712.3 percent, respectively.

Income tax expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $13,734,000$19,246,000 on pre-tax net income of $117,199,000.$124,274,000.

The effective income tax rates for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were 11.715.5 percent and 15.310.8 percent, respectively.

The lower effective income tax rates duringrate for the three and nine monthscomparative periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily driven by two factors. First, thean abnormally high level of loan provision expense resulting fromas a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has, and likely will continue, to distort the normal relationship ofreduced taxable income, toand when coupled with an increase in tax-exempt income.income, the benefit of non-taxable income increased. Secondly, the CARES Act provided for the opportunity to carryback of certain federal net operating losses. The Corporation's net operating loss had previously been valued atlosses to a prior period with a rate differential between the current2020 statutory rate of 21 percent. As such, the Corporation booked a tax benefit of $1,178,000 in the first quarter of 2020 in recognition of the rate differential between the current ratepercent and the rate in effect during the period to which the net operating loss was carried back.carryback year.

On SeptemberThe Corporation adopted the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model for calculating the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2019,2021. CECL replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompassed allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an "expected loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. As of the adoption and day one measurement date of January 1, 2021, the Corporation acquired 100 percentrecorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of MBT. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each MBT shareholder received 0.275 sharesincome taxes, of $68.0 million.

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a stock repurchase program of up to 3 million shares of the Corporation's outstanding common stock; provided, however, that the total aggregate investment in shares repurchased under the program maywas not to exceed $75 million. On a share basis, the amount of common stock subject to the repurchase program representsrepresented approximately 5 percent of the Corporation's outstanding shares. During the first quarter of 2020, the Corporation repurchased 1,634,437 of its common shares for $55.9 million at an average price of $34.21, which resulted in the aggregate investment in share repurchases to equalof $75.0 million, the maximum allowable under the plan. As such, the September 2019 program terminated upon its own terms following the repurchases.

On January 27, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a stock repurchase program of up to 3,333,000 shares of the Corporation's outstanding common stock; provided, however, that the total aggregate investment in shares repurchased under the program may not exceed $100,000,000. On a share basis, the amount of common stock subject to the repurchase program represents approximately 6 percent of the Corporation's outstanding shares. The Corporation has not made any repurchases under the January 2021 program as of June 30, 2021.

Regulatory Capital

Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by four ratios that are calculated according to the regulations: total risk-based capital, tier 1 risk-based capital, CET1, and tier 1 leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity's activities that are not part of the calculated ratios.

There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification of a bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on a bank's operations. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of tier 1 capital to average assets, or leverage ratio, all of which are calculated as defined in the
regulations. Banks with lower capital levels are deemed to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized, depending on their actual levels. The appropriate federal regulatory agency may also downgrade a bank to the next lower capital category upon a determination that the bank is in an unsafe or unsound practice. Banks are required to monitor closely their capital levels and to notify their appropriate regulatory agency of any basis for a change in capital category.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Basel III was effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2015 and requires the Corporation and the Bank to maintain the minimum capital and
leverage ratios as defined in the regulation and as illustrated in the table below.below, which capital to risk-weighted asset ratios include a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer. Under Basel III, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends, the Corporation must hold a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized CET1 to risk-weighted assets ratio (which buffer is reflected in the required ratios below). Under Basel III, the Corporation and Bank elected to opt-out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized under the fully phased-in Basel III capital rules. There is no threshold for well capitalized status for bank holding companies.

As part of a March 27, 2020 joint statement of federal banking regulators, an interim final rule that allowed banking organizations to mitigate the effects of the CECL accounting standard on their regulatory capital was announced. Banking organizations could elect to mitigate the estimated cumulative regulatory capital effects of CECL for up to two years. This two-year delay was to be in addition to the three-year transition period that federal banking regulators had already made available. While the CAA provided for a further extension of the mandatory adoption of CECL to the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates, or January 1, 2022, the federal banking regulators have elected to not provide a similar extension to the two year mitigation period applicable to regulatory capital effects. Instead, the federal banking regulators require that, in order to utilize the additional two-year delay, banking organizations must have adopted the CECL standard no later than December 31, 2020, as required by the CARES Act.

The Corporation elected to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 until January 1, 2021 and, as a result, will recognize the implementation effects of CECL on its regulatory capital over a three-year transition period. Beginning on January 1, 2021, the Corporation phased in 25 percent of the deferred capital impact of CECL, with an additional 25 percent to be phased in at the beginning of the following three years, resulting in the impact being fully phased in on January 1, 2024.

On April 9, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interim final rule to modify the Basel III regulatory capital rules applicable to banking organizations to allow those organizations participating in the PPP to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the program. The interim final rule, which became effective April 13, 2020, clarifies that PPP loans receive a zero percent risk weight for purposes of determining risk-weighted assets and the CET1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based capital ratios. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, risk-weighted assets included $901.4$415.8 million of PPP loans at a zero risk weight. Additionally, in order to facilitate use of the PPPL Facility, the agencies have clarified that banking organizations, including the Corporation and the Bank, are allowed to neutralize the regulatory effects of PPP covered loans on the risk-based capital ratios, as well as PPP covered loans pledged under the PPPL Facility on the leverage capital ratios. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation did not have an outstanding balance with the PPPL Facility; therefore there were no adjustments to the leverage ratio for PPP loans. Access to funds under the PPPL Facility terminated on July 30, 2021, at which time the Corporation also had no outstanding balance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management believes that all of the above capital ratios are meaningful measurements for evaluating the safety and soundness of the Corporation. Traditionally, the banking regulators have assessed bank and bank holding company capital adequacy based on both the amount and the composition of capital, the calculation of which is prescribed in federal banking regulations. The Federal Reserve focuses its assessment of capital adequacy on a component of Tier 1 capital known as CET1. Because the Federal Reserve has long indicated that voting common shareholders' equity (essentially Tier 1 risk-based capital less preferred stock and non-controlling interest in subsidiaries) generally should be the dominant element in Tier 1 risk-based capital, this focus on CET1 is consistent with existing capital adequacy categories. Tier I regulatory capital consists primarily of total stockholders’ equity and subordinated debentures issued to business trusts categorized as qualifying borrowings, less non-qualifying intangible assets and unrealized net securities gains or losses.

Additionally, management believes the following tables are also meaningful when considering performance measures of the Corporation. Non-GAAP financial measures such as tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on average tangible capital and return on average tangible assets are important measures of the strength of the Corporation's capital and ability to generate earnings on tangible common equity invested by our shareholders. These non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information and may assist investors in analyzing the
Corporation’s financial position without regard to the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Disclosure of these measures also allows analysts and banking regulators to assess our capital adequacy on these same bases.

Because these measures are not defined in GAAP or federal banking regulations, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

LOAN QUALITY/QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS

The Corporation’s primary lending focus is small business and middle market commercial, commercial real estate and residential real estate, which results in portfolio diversification.  Commercial loans are individually underwritten and judgmentally risk rated.  They are periodically monitored and prompt corrective actions are taken on deteriorating loans.  Consumer loans are typically underwritten with statistical decision-making tools and are managed throughout their life cycle on a portfolio basis.

Loan Quality

The quality of the loan portfolio and the amount of non-performing loans may increase or decrease as a result of acquisitions, organic portfolio growth, problem loan recognition and resolution through collections, sales or charge-offs. The performance of any loan can be affected by external factors such as economic conditions, or internal factors specific to a particular borrower, such as the actions of a customer's internal management.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, non-performing loans totaled $59.4$58.2 million, an increasea decrease of $42.6$6.5 million from December 31, 2019.2020. Loans not accruing interest income totaled $56.7$57.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2020, an increase2021, a decrease of $40.8$3.9 million from December 31, 2019. An increase of $36.0 million2020. The decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily attributed to the commercial and farmland segment, specifically non-owner occupied commercial real estate, as three relationships were movedpartial charge-offs related to non-accrual during the second and third quarters of 2020. These three relationships involve four properties, threetwo loans, both of which total $31.2 millionare in the senior living sector and the fourth totals $3.4 million in the self-storage sector. Additionally, $4.7 millionwith remaining balances, net of the increase in non-accrual loans was in the commercial and industrial loans segment. This largest portion of this increase was due to the addition of a $2.8 million loan in the university logo apparel sports industry. This loan was added to the non-accrual list in the second quarter at a balance of $14.4 million, but was restructured in the third quarter resulting in a $6.7 million charge-off.specific reserves, totaling $23.4 million.

Other real estate owned and repossessions, totaling $6.9 million$601,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, decreased $543,000$339,000 from December 31, 2019.2020. For other real estate owned, current appraisals are obtained to determine fair value as management continues to aggressively market these real estate assets.

Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised on April 7, 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. In accordance with such guidance, the Bank has offered short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included short-term, 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. The CAA, as described above, extended the expiration date for COVID-related loan modifications exempt from troubled debt restructuring classification until the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the termination of the national emergency. The following table summarizes modifications that remained in deferment as offor the period indicated:periods indicated.

During the third quarter of 2020, a second COVID-19 related modification was processed on approximately $116 million of loan balances.
Of the loans still in deferment at SeptemberJune 30, 2020, $922021, $19.4 million, or 5248 percent of the balance, which were included in commercial real estate, non-owner occupied, were in the hotel industry.

Of the remaining loans, $15.0 million, or 37 percent of the balance, are related to three loans in the entertainment industry. Although the Corporation believes its underwriting and loan review procedures are appropriate for the various kinds of loans it makes, its results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected in the event the quality of its loan portfolio declines. Deterioration in the economic environment including residential and commercial real estate values may result in increased levels of loan delinquencies and credit losses.

Provision and Allowance for LoanCredit Losses on Loans

As notedThe Corporation adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL") on January 1, 2021. CECL replaces the previous "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model of measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. CECL also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in the "COVID-19, THE CARES ACT AND RELATED REGULATORY ACTIONS" sectionestimating credit losses, as well as credit quality and underwriting standards of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Corporation elected to defer the adoption ofan organization's portfolio.

The CECL and to continue to use the incurred loss model for calculating the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. Theallowance is maintained through the provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings. Based on management’s judgment as to the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, the amount provided in any period may be greater or less than net loan losses for the same period. The determination of the provision amount and the adequacy of the allowance in any period is based on management’s continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio, including an internally administered loan "watch" list and independent loan reviews. The evaluation also takes into consideration identified credit problems, portfolio growth, management's judgment as to the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and the possibility of losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are not specifically identified.portfolio.

In conformance with ASC 805 and ASC 820, purchased loans are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Such loans are included in the allowance to the extent a specific impairment is identified that exceeds the fair value adjustment on an impaired loan. An allowance may also be necessary if the historical loss and environmental factor analysis indicates losses inherent in a purchased portfolio exceed the fair value adjustment on the portion of the purchased portfolio not deemed impaired.
The Corporation’s total loan balance increased $778.7decreased $107.3 million from December 31, 20192020 to $9.2$9.1 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. PPP loans accounted for $901.4$415.8 million of the total loan balance at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses totaled $126.7$199.8 million, which represents an increase of $46.4$69.1 million from December 31, 2019.2020. The allowance increase was primarily due to the day one cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of CECL of $74.1 million, offset by net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $4.9 million. As a percentpercentage of loans, the allowance for loancredit losses was 1.372.19 percent at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to 0.951.41 percent at December 31, 2019. When excluding PPP loans of $901.4 million, the2020. The allowance for loancredit losses as a percentage of total loans less PPP loans was 1.522.29 percent as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020. Under2021. As of June 30, 2021, $595.7 million of the Bank’s PPP loans had been forgiven by the SBA. The Bank anticipates that the majority of its remaining PPP loans will also be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the PPP, the loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.program.

There was no provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $21.9 million and $41.7 million, respectively, for the same period of 2020. The allowance was increased primarily dueprovision for the first two quarters of 2020 reflected an increase in the national and local economic conditions qualitative factor and to an increase in impairment. Continuing uncertainty surrounding the current economic climate prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have contributed to a higher level of unemployment which has negatively impacted consumer and business spending. Due to this uncertainty, the national and local economic conditions qualitative factor has increased $35.1 million during 2020. In addition, impairment increased $8.5 million from December 31, 2019 due primarilyreserve related to the addition of specific reserves, of $7.9 million, related to commercial senior living relationships. See discussion of theestimated impact of the emerging COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The Corporation adopted CECL effective January 1, 2021 and recorded a day one cumulative effect adjustment which increased the Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans to $204.7 million. Net charge-offs in 2021 lowered the allowance to $199.8 million as of June 30, 2021. The Corporation deems this estimate for loan portfolio credit exposure as appropriate, thus there was no provision expense in the “COVID-19, THE CARES ACT AND RELATED REGULATORY ACTIONS” sectionfirst and second quarter of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The provision for loan losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $12.5 million and $54.2 million, respectively. Comparatively, the provision for loan losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $600,000 and $2.3 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the provision for loan losses primarily reflects our view of increased credit risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net charge-offs totaling $6.9$1.3 million and $7.7$4.9 million, respectively, were recognized for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Comparatively, net charge-offs totaled $1.3 million$230,000 and $2.3 million,$812,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2019.2020. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was one individual charge-off greater than $500,000 that totaled $6,665,000 and for$515,000. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021, there were two charge-offs greater than $500,000 for a total of $6,930,000. There have been no recoveries greater than these amounts in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, there was one individual charge-off greater than $500,000 that totaled $1,318,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were two individual charge-offs greater than $500,000 that totaled $3,273,000.$4.3 million. For the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there were nonot any individual charge-offs or recoveries greater than $500,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there was one individual recovery greater than $500,000, which totaled $738,000. The distribution of the net charge-offs (recoveries) for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 are reflected in the following table:table.

Management continually evaluates the commercial loan portfolio by including consideration of specific borrower cash flow analysis and estimated collateral values, types and amounts on non-performing loans, past and anticipated loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, and the current condition and amount of loans outstanding. The determination of the provision for loan losses in any period is based on management’s continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio, and its judgment as to the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity management is the process by which the Corporation ensures that adequate liquid funds are available for the holding company and its subsidiaries. These funds are necessary in order to meet financial commitments on a timely basis. These commitments include withdrawals by depositors, funding credit obligations to borrowers, paying dividends to stockholders, paying operating expenses, funding capital expenditures, and maintaining deposit reserve requirements. Liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the asset/liability committee.

The Corporation’s liquidity is dependent upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is subject to certain regulatory limitations and access to other funding sources.  Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposit growth, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources.

The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is investment securities classified as available for sale, the market values of which totaled $1.8$2.4 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, an increase of $34.1$507.8 million, or 1.926.5 percent, from December 31, 2019.2020.  Securities classified as held to maturity that are maturing within a short period of time can also be a source of liquidity. Securities classified as held to maturity and that are maturing in one year or less totaled $9.7$8.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. In addition, other types of assets such as cash and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, federal funds sold and loans maturing within one year are sources of liquidity.

The most stable source of liability-funded liquidity for both the long-term and short-term is deposit growth and retention in the core deposit base.  Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are also considered a source of liquidity. In addition, FHLB advances are utilized as a funding sources.source.  At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, total borrowings from the FHLB were $399.5$334.2 million The Bank has pledged certain mortgage loans and investments to the FHLB. The total available remaining borrowing capacity from the FHLB at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $690.3$762.8 million.

The Corporation and the Bank receive outside credit ratings from Moody's. Both the Corporation and the Bank currently have Issuer Ratings of Baa1 with a Rating Outlook of Stable. Additionally, the Bank has a Baseline Credit Assessment Rating of a3. Management considers these ratings to be indications of a sound capital base and strong liquidity and believes that these ratings would help ensure the ready marketability of its commercial paper. Because of the Corporation's and Bank's current levels of long-term debt, management believes it could generate additional liquidity from various sources should the need arise.

On March 16, 2020, the Corporation partially redeemed $10.0 million of its subordinated debentures, with an interest rate of 3.45 percent, all of which were held by First Merchants Capital Trust II (“FMC Trust”). As a result, FMC Trust used the proceeds from such partial redemption to concurrently redeem a like amount of its capital securities at an aggregate principal redemption price of $10.0 million. Debentures issued by the Corporation in the principal amount of $41.7 million remain outstanding with a maturity date of September 15, 2037.

Also, in the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to a number of other off-balance sheet activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in our consolidated financial statements.  These activities primarily consist of traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit.

Summarized credit-related financial instruments at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are as follows:
(Dollars in Thousands)SeptemberJune 30, 20202021

Since many of the commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used, the total amount of unused commitments in the preceding table does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset/Liability management has been an important factor in the Corporation's ability to record consistent earnings growth through periods of interest rate volatility and product deregulation. Management and the Board of Directors monitor the Corporation's liquidity and interest sensitivity positions at regular meetings to review how changes in interest rates may affect earnings.  Decisions regarding investment and the pricing of loan and deposit products are made after analysis of reports designed to measure liquidity, rate sensitivity, the Corporation’s exposure to changes in net interest income given various rate scenarios and the economic and competitive environments.

It is the objective of the Corporation to monitor and manage risk exposure to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates.  It is the goal of the Corporation’s Asset/Liability management function to provide optimum and stable net interest income. To accomplish this, management uses two asset liability tools. GAP/Interest Rate Sensitivity Reports and Net Interest Income Simulation Modeling are constructed, presented and monitored quarterly. Management believes that the Corporation's liquidity and interest sensitivity position at SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, remained adequate to meet the Corporation’s primary goal of achieving optimum interest margins while avoiding undue interest rate risk.

Net interest income simulation modeling, or earnings-at-risk, measures the sensitivity of net interest income to various interest rate movements. The Corporation's asset liability process monitors simulated net interest income under three separate interest rate scenarios; base, rising and falling. Estimated net interest income for each scenario is calculated over a twelve-month horizon. The immediate and parallel changes to the base case scenario used in the model are presented below. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management's view of future market movements. Rather, these are intended to provide a measure of the degree of volatility interest rate movements may introduce into the earnings of the Corporation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The base scenario is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the model, including assumptions related to future interest rates. While the base sensitivity analysis incorporates management's best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and resulting earnings impact will likely differ from that projected. For certain assets, the base simulation model captures the expected prepayment behavior under changing interest rate environments. Assumptions and methodologies regarding the interest rate or balance behavior of indeterminate maturity products, such as savings, money market, interest-bearing and demand deposits, reflect management's best estimate of expected future behavior. Historical retention rate assumptions are applied to non-maturity deposits for modeling purposes.

At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation discussed above that occurred during the Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 24, 2021, the Bank was named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in a Circuit Court in Delaware County, Indiana challenging the Bank’s checking account practices associated with its assessment of overdraft fees for certain debit card transactions. The relief sought by the plaintiff includes restitution, other monetary damages, and injunctive and declaratory relief. The plaintiff also seeks to have the case certified by the Court as a class action on behalf of all persons who are checking account holders at the Bank and who were assessed overdraft fees on certain debit card transactions. The Corporation believes the plaintiff’s claims are unfounded and intends to defend against them. At this stage of the litigation, it is not possible for the Corporation’s management to determine the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

There are no other pending legal proceedings, other than litigation incidental to the ordinary business of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, of a material nature to which the Corporation or its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their properties are subject. Further, there are no material legal proceedings in which any director, officer, principal shareholder, or affiliate of the Corporation, or any associate of any such director, officer or principal shareholder, is a party, or has a material interest, adverse to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

None of the routine legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, in which the Corporation or its affiliates are involved are expected to have a material adverse impact on the financial position or the results of operations of the Corporation.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Except for the additional risk factors set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread have adversely impacted the Corporation’s business and financial results, and the continued impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the severity and duration of the pandemic and further actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties to contain and treat the virus.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a global pandemic. Also in March 2020, the President of the Unites States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related governmental actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have significantly impacted the global economy (including the states and local economies in which we operate), disrupted supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. As a result, the demand for the Corporation’s products and services has been, and will continue to be, significantly impacted. Furthermore, the pandemic has caused, and could continue to influence, the recognition of credit losses in the Corporation’s loan portfolios and increases in the Corporation’s allowance for credit losses as our customers are negatively impacted by the economic downturn. In addition, governmental actions have resulted in decreased interest rates and yields, which may lead to decreases in the Corporation’s net interest income and non-interest income.

As our banking regulators have encouraged us to work prudently with borrowers who are unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19, the Bank has implemented certain hardship relief programs (including payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, and other delays in payment). As a result, the Bank has made numerous short-term loan modifications for customers who are current and otherwise not past due. As provided under the CARES Act, these qualified loan modifications are currently exempt by law from classification as troubled debt restructures as defined by GAAP. The potential adverse impact resulting from the inability of customers to repay loans on a timely basis cannot be determined at this time. However, the extent of such impact, as reflected in the Corporation's financial statements, may be muted by these loan modifications, which would have the effect of delaying loan loss recognition until after any applicable deferral period.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused the Corporation to modify is business practices (including developing work from home and social distancing plans for our employees), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or will otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. Furthermore, the Corporation’s business operations have been, and may again in the future be, disrupted due to vendors and third-party service providers being unable to work or provide services effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

The extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as its regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties to contain and treat the virus, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may heighten many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K. While we do not yet know the full extent of the COVID-19 impact, the negative effects on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be material.

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

As a participating lender in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP” or “program”), the Corporation and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s clients or other parties in connection with the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses, eligible nonprofits and certain others can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. Under the terms of the program, loans are to be fully guaranteed by the SBA. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. Because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the April 3, 2020 opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the program, which exposes the Corporation to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. On or about April 16, 2020, the SBA notified lenders that the $349 billion earmarked for the PPP was exhausted. Congress has approved additional funding for the program and the related new legislation was enacted on April 24, 2020. Since the opening of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation relating to the policies and procedures that they used in processing applications for the program. The Corporation and the Bank may be exposed to the risk of litigation: (1) from both customers and non-customers that have approached the Bank in connection with PPP loans and its policies and procedures used in processing applications for the program; and (2) from agents of the PPP borrowers claiming they are entitled to a portion of the Bank's loan processing fees as a result of their assisting borrowers with their PPP loan applications. If any such litigation is filed against the Corporation or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Corporation or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Corporation’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bank also has credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the program. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Corporation, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Bank.
