NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its, which has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Lake City Bank (the "Bank") and LCB Risk Management, a captive insurance company. Also included in this report isare results for the Bank'sBank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LCB Investments II, Inc. ("LCB Investments"), which manages the Bank'sBank’s investment securities portfolio. LCB Investments also owns LCB Funding, Inc. ("LCB Funding"), a real estate investment trust. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-monththree and nine-month periodssix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent reporting periods, including the year ending December 31, 2017.2023. The Company's 2016Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures." The update amends ASC 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying TDR recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. These amendments are intended to enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The update is available for entities that have adopted the amendments in update 2016-13 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of the ASU related to the discontinuance of TDR reporting, with retrospective application of modification reporting effective starting January 1, 2022. The Company adopted the provisions related to reporting of current-period gross write-offs within the vintage disclosures effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the provisions contained within ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method." ASC 815 previously permitted only prepayable financial assets and one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments to be included in a last-of-layer closed portfolio. The amendment in this update allows nonrepayable financial assets to also be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope allows an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The update became effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2022-01 on January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." ASC 848 contains 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 Company has formed a cross-functional project team to lead the transition from LIBOR to a planned adoption of reference rates which could include Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), amongst others. The Company has identified certain loans that renewed prior to 2021 and obtained updated reference rate language at the time of the renewal. Additionally, management is utilizing the timeline guidance published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee to develop and achieve internal milestones during this transitional period. The Company's policy is to adhere to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol that was released on October 23, 2020.
The Company discontinued the use of new LIBOR-based loans by December 31, 2021, according to regulatory guidelines. The Company transitioned LIBOR-based loans to an alternative reference rate before June 30, 2023. On December 22, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848", which definitively provided a sunset date of December 31, 2024 for the relief guidance allowed under Topic 848. The ASU was effective immediately upon issuance. The Company adopted the LIBOR transition relief allowed under this standard, and does not expect final adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On March 28, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASC 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method." ASU 2014-01, "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (ASC 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects", previously introduced the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits when certain requirements are met; however, this guidance limited the proportional amortization method to investments in low-income-housing tax credit (LIHTC) structures. The proportional amortization method results in the cost of the investment being amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received, with the amortization of the investment and the income tax credits being presented net in the income statement as a component of net income tax expense (benefit). Equity investments in other tax credit structures are typically accounted for using the equity method, which results in investment income, gains and losses, and tax credits being presented gross on the income statement in their respective line items.
The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for certain tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). To qualify for the proportional amortization method, all of the following conditions must be met: (1) It is probable that the income tax credits allocated to the tax equity investor will be available; (2) The tax equity investor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the underlying project; (3) Substantially all of the projected benefits are from income tax credits and other income tax benefits. Projected benefits included income tax credits, other income tax benefits, and other non-income tax -related benefits. The projected benefits are determined on a discounted basis, using a discount rate that is consistent with the cash flow assumptions used by the tax equity investor in making its decision to invest in the project; (4) The tax equity investor's projected yield based solely on the cash flows from the income tax credits and other income tax benefits is positive; and (5) The tax equity investor is a limited liability investor in the limited liability entity for both legal and tax purposes, and the tax equity investor's liability is limited to its capital investment. An accounting policy election is allowed to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. The amendments in this update require specific disclosures that must be applied to all investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program for which the entity has elected to apply the proportional amortization method. The amendments require that a reporting entity disclose certain information in annual and interim reporting periods that enable investors to understanding the following information about its investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program including: (1) The nature of its tax equity investments; and (2) The effect of its tax equity investments and related income tax credits and other income tax benefits on its financial position and results of operations.
For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. If early adoption is elected, the provisions shall be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of adoption. The amendments in this update must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard for its LIHTC investments and the impact to noninterest income and income tax expense within the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts appearing in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

On April 1, 2022, the Company elected to transfer securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity as an overall balance sheet management strategy. The fair value of securities transferred was $127.0 million from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized loss on the securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity was $24.4 million ($19.3 million, net of tax) based on the fair value of the securities on the transfer date and was $21.9 million ($17.3 million, net of tax) at June 30, 2023. The Company has the current intent and ability to hold the transferred securities until maturity. Any net unrealized gain or loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of the transfer will be amortized over the remaining life of the underlying security as an adjustment to the yield on those securities. There have been no subsequent transfers of securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.

The following factors are considered

Available-for-sale debt securities in determining whether or not the impairment of these securities is other-than-temporary. In making this determination, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as the underlying fundamentals of the relevant market and the outlookpositions are evaluated for such marketimpairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For available-for-sale debt securities in the near future.  Management alsoan unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that itthe Company will be required to sell athe security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference betweensecurity’s amortized cost andbasis is written down to fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.the consolidated income statement. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementionedabove criteria and for held-to-maturity securities, management evaluates whether the amountdecline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTIthe security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  Credit loss is defined as the difference betweenexists, management compares the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security with 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 for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. For equityavailable-for-sale debt securities, the entire amount ofany impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized through earnings. Asin other comprehensive income (loss), net of Septemberapplicable taxes.
No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities was recorded at June 30, 20172023 or December 31, 2022. Accrued interest receivable on securities totaled $7.9 million and $8.9 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2016, all2022, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of thecredit losses.

Therefore, for certain non-local or local municipalthose securities, which arewe do not rated. For the government, government-sponsored agencyrecord expected credit losses. State and municipal securities management did not believe that there would be credit losses or that full principal would not be received. Management considered the unrealized losses on theseare benchmarked against highly rated municipal securities to be primarily interest rate driven and does not expect material losses given current market conditions unless the securities are sold. However, at this time management does not have the intent to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

NOTE 4. ALLOWANCE FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for expected credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the principal is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for credit losses is taken based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the credit loss allowance is conducted monthly. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.
The level of credit loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, emerging market risk, emerging concentration risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the facts and circumstances
12

of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower, in determining the appropriate level of the credit loss provision. Furthermore, management’s overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.
The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates by management. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that generally includes consideration of changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and overall portfolio quality, along with current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors although they represent the most commonly cited factors. To determine the specific allocation levels for individual credits, management considers the current valuation of collateral and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, an appropriate level of general allowance is determined by portfolio segment using a probability of default-loss given default (“PD/LGD”) model, subject to a floor. A default can be triggered by one of several different asset quality factors, including past due status, nonaccrual status, material modification status or if the loan has had a charge-off. This PD is then combined with a LGD derived from historical charge-off data to construct a default rate. This loss rate is then supplemented with adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts of relevant economic indicators, particularly the unemployment rate forecast from the Federal Open Market Committee’s Summary of Economic Projections, and other environmental factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These environmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and nonperforming loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedure, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. It is also possible that these factors could include social, political, economic, and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to change, which may be significant. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for credit losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration function. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and a consensus is reached by credit administration and the loan review officer. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that indicate it should be evaluated on an individual basis. Considerations with respect to specific allocations for these individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the sufficiency of the customer’s cash flow or net worth to repay the loan; (b) the adequacy of the discounted value of collateral relative to the loan balance; (c) whether the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) whether the loan is nonperforming; (e) any other reasons the ultimate collectability of the loan may be in question; or (f) any unique loan characteristics that require special monitoring.
Allocations are also applied to categories of loans considered not to be individually analyzed, but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for portfolio segments of commercial and industrial; commercial real estate, multi-family, and construction; agri-business and agricultural; other commercial loans; and consumer 1-4 family mortgage and other consumer loans. General allocations of the allowance are determined by a historical loss rate based on the calculation of each pool’s probability of default-loss given default, subject to a floor. The length of the historical period for each pool is based on the average life of the pool. The historical loss rates are supplemented with consideration of economic conditions and portfolio trends.
Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company’s allowance for credit losses includes an immaterial unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of potential expected losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations. As a practical expedient, the Company has elected to disclose accrued interest separately from loan principal balances on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, when a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest payments are reversed through interest income.
For off balance sheet credit exposures outlined in the ASU at 326-20-30-11, it is the Company’s position that nearly all of the unfunded amounts on lines of credit are unconditionally cancellable, and therefore not subject to having a liability recorded.

Credit Quality Indicators:

Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $150,000.

$250,000.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention.Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management'smanagement’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution'sinstitution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard.Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful.Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individuallyconsidered to be "Pass" rated when they are reviewed as part of the above-describedpreviously described process are considered to be Pass rated loans withand do not meet the exception of consumer troubled debt restructuringscriteria above, which are evaluated and listed with Substandard commercial grade loans and consumer nonaccrual loans which are evaluated individually and listed with Not Rated“Not Rated” loans. Loans listed as Not Rated are consumer loans or commercial loans with consumer characteristics included in groups of homogenous loans which are analyzed for credit quality indicators utilizing delinquency status. As of September 30, 2017, and based on the most recent analysis performed,
The following table summarizes the risk category of loans by classloan segment and origination date as of loans is as follows:June 30, 2023:

As of December 31, 2022, $1.5 million in PPP loans were included in the "Pass" category of non-working capital commercial and industrial loans. These loans were included in this risk rating category because they are fully guaranteed by the SBA.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans:
The Company does not record interest on nonaccrual loans until principal is recovered. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. The starting point to determine estimate such credit losses is historical loss information. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses recorded at origination. Occasionally, the Company subsequently modifies loans for borrowers experiencing financial distress by providing the following forms of relief: forgiveness of loan principal, extension of repayment terms, or an interest rate reduction, among other possible concessions. In some instances, the Company provides multiple types of concessions for such modifications. Because the effect of most modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses, no change to the allowance for credit losses is generally recorded for these modifications.

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans that were experiencing financial difficulty and received a modification of terms during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivables is also presented below:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no modifications were made to loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. At June 30, 2023, no loans receiving such a modification within the last twelve months were 30 days or greater past due.
At June 30, 2023, no loans receiving a modification due to borrower financial difficulty within the last twelve months experienced a payment default.
Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion thereof) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion thereof) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS
For the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company had an advance outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") in the amount of $400.0 million. The outstanding advance was a fixed rate bullet advance with an interest rate of 5.17% and matured July 13, 2023. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a fixed rate bullet advance from the FHLB with an interest rate of 4.21% in the amount of $275.0 million that matured on January 5, 2023.
On August 2, 2019 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement with another financial institution allowing the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million; this credit agreement was subsequently amended and renewed on July 29, 2023 for $12.5 million. Funds provided under the agreement may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, which was reauthorized by the Company’s board of directors on April 11, 2023 and expires on April 30, 2025, and for general operations. The credit agreement includes a negative pledge agreement whereby the Company agrees not to pledge or otherwise encumber the stock of the Bank. The credit agreement has a one year term which may be amended, extended, modified or renewed. There were no outstanding borrowings on the credit agreement at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
NOTE 5.6. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Securities:Securities:  Securities available for saleavailable-for-sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing service. The fair values of securities available for saleavailable-for-sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or pricing models which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities'securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). These models utilize the market approach with standard inputs that include, but are not limited to benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. For certain municipal securities that are not rated and observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other municipal securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-rated municipal securities (Level 3 inputs).

The Company'sCompany’s Finance Department, which is responsible for all accounting and SEC disclosure compliance, and the Company'sCompany’s Treasury Department, which is responsible for investment portfolio management and asset/liability modeling, are the two areas that determine the Company'sCompany’s valuation policies and procedures. Both of these areas report directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For assets or liabilities that may be considered for Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring basis, these two departments and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer determine the appropriate level of the assets or liabilities under consideration. If there are new assets or liabilities that are determined to be Level 3 by this group, the Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors are made aware of such assets at their next scheduled meeting.

23

Securities pricing is obtained on securities from a third party pricing service and all security prices are tested annually against prices from another third party provider and reviewed with a market value price tolerance variance that varies by sector: municipal securities +/- 5%-5%, government mbs/cmoMBS/CMO +/- 3%-3% and U.S. treasuries +/-1%. If any securities fall outside the tolerance threshold and have a variance of $100,000 or more, a determination of materiality is made for the amount over the threshold. Any security that would have a material threshold difference would be further investigated to determine why the variance exists and if any action is needed concerning the security pricing for that individual security. Changes in market value are reviewed monthly in aggregate by security type and any material differenceschanges are reviewed to determine why they exist. At least annually, the pricing methodology of the pricing service is received and reviewed to support the fair value levels used by the Company. A detailed pricing evaluation is requested and reviewed on any security determined to be fair valued using unobservable inputs by the pricing service.

Mortgage banking derivatives:derivative:  The fair valuevalues of mortgage banking derivatives are based on observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Interest rate swap derivatives:derivatives:  Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is determined by pricing or valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired loans:  ImpairedCollateral dependent loans:  Collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loancredit losses are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral ifwhen repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is based on appraisals by qualified third party appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s management routinely applies internal discount factors to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of impairedcollateral dependent loans. The deductions to the appraisals take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. Commercial real estate is generally discounted from its appraised value by 0-50%30-50% with the higher discounts applied to real estate that is determined to have a thin trading market or to be specialized collateral. In addition to real estate, the Company'sCompany’s management evaluates other types of collateral as follows: (a) raw and finished inventory is discounted from its cost or book value by 35-65%40-60%, depending on the marketability of the goods (b) finished goods are generally discounted by 30-60%40-60%, depending on the ease of marketability, cost of transportation or scope of use of the finished good (c) work in process inventory is typically discounted by 50-100%60%-100%, depending on the length of manufacturing time, types of components used in the completion process, and the breadth of the user base (d) equipment is valued at a percentage of depreciated book value or recent appraised value, if available, and is typically discounted at 30-70%20-50% after various considerations including age and condition of the equipment, marketability, breadth of use, and whether the equipment includes unique components or add-ons; and (e) marketable securities are discounted by 10-30%10%-30%, depending on the type of investment, age of valuation report and general market conditions. This methodology is based on a market approach and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights:rights:  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the fair value of the Company'sCompany’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans (“MSRs”) was $4.0$2.4 million, none of which are currently impaired and therefore are carried at amortized cost.cost and no valuation reserve. These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 3.81%3.5%, a weighted average maturity of 1920 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company'sCompany’s market area which is primarilyof Northern Indiana.Indiana and Indianapolis. A third-party valuation model is used to estimate fair value by stratifying the portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. Impairment is estimated based on an income approach. The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees and float income. The most significant assumption used to value mortgage servicing rightsMSRs is prepayment rate. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the constant prepayment speed (PSA)(“PSA”) used was 134150 and used a discount rate range of 9.50%-11.50%. At December 31, 2022, the PSA used was 159 and the discount rate used was 9.4%9.5%.  At December 31, 2016, the PSA used was 162 and the discount rate used was 9.3%.

24

Other real estate owned:owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are reviewed by the Company'sCompany’s internal appraisal officer. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable properties used to determine value. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s management may apply discount factors to the appraisals to take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Real estate mortgage loans held for saleheld-for-sale: Real estate mortgage loans held for saleheld-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments, from third party investors, and result in a Level 2 classification.

The primary methodology used in the fair value measurement of the Company's state and municipal securities classified as Level 3 is a discount to the AAA municipal benchmark index. Significant increases or (decreases) in this index as well as the degree to which the security differs in ratings, coupon, call and duration will result in a higher or (lower) fair value measurement for those securities that are not callable. For those securities that are continuously callable, a slight premium to par is used.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1, with the exception of certificates of deposits, which are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates applied to the estimated life resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Loans, net – Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows:  For variable rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using current market rates applied to the estimated life of the loan resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously.  The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock– It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Certificates of deposit - Fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using current market rates applied to the estimated life resulting in a Level 2 classification.

All other deposits- The fair values for all other deposits other than certificates of deposit are equal to the amount payable on demand (the carrying value) resulting in a Level 1 classification.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase – The carrying amount of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximates their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other short-term borrowings – The fair value of other short-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing rates resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Long-term borrowings – The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current borrowing rates resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated debentures - The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the rates currently available to the Company with similar term and remaining maturity and credit spread resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Standby letters of credit – The fair value of off-balance sheet items is based on the current fees and costs that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued interest receivable/payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification which is consistent with its associated asset/liability.

NOTE 6. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent collateralized borrowings with customers located primarily within the Company's service area. These repurchase liabilities are not covered by federal deposit insurance and are secured by securities owned. The Company retains the right to substitute similar type securities and has the right to withdraw all excess collateral applicable to the repurchase liabilities whenever the collateral values are in excess of the related repurchase liabilities. However, as a means of mitigating market risk, the Company maintains excess collateral to cover normal changes in the repurchase liability by monitoring daily usage. The Company maintains control of the securities through the use of third-party safekeeping arrangements.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $63.9 million and $50.0 million, which mature on demand, are secured by mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of $87.1 million and $98.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  Additional information concerning recognition of these liabilities is disclosed in Note 8.

If an event of default occurs causing an early termination of an interest rate swap derivative, any early termination amount payable to one party by the other party may be reduced by set-off against any other amount payable by the one party to the other party. If a default in performance of any obligation of a repurchase agreement occurs, each party will set-off property held in respect of transactions against obligations owing in respect of any other transactions.

NOTE 10. LEASES
The Company leases certain office facilities under long-term operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2037 and some include renewal options. Many of these leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, utilities and other costs. In many cases, rentals are subject to increase in relation to a cost-of-living index. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as a right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's corresponding lease obligations are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ROU lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the ninelease term and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months ended Septemberor less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases, as allowed as a practical expedient of the standard.

NOTE 11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSLOSS CONTINGENCIES


In May 2014,Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topicordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflectsor range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Bank discovered potentially fraudulent activity by a former treasury management client involving multiple banks. The former client subsequently filed several related bankruptcy cases, captioned In re Interlogic Outsourcing, Inc., et al., which are pending in the considerationUnited States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. On April 27, 2021, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving an amended plan of liquidation, which was filed by the entity expects to be entitledformer client, other debtors and bankruptcy plan proponents, and approving the consolidation of the assets in exchangethe aforementioned cases under the Khan IOI Consolidated Estate Trust. On August 9, 2021, the liquidating trustee for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective beginning January 1, 2018the bankruptcy estates filed a complaint against the Bank and the Company, expectsand agreed to adopt this new accounting standard using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company's revenue is split between net interest income and noninterest income at a ratio of approximately 80% to 20%, respectively. The scopestay prosecution of the guidance explicitly excludes net interest income as well as many other revenues for financial assetsaction through August 31, 2022. The original complaint focused on a series of business transactions among the client, related entities and liabilities including loans, leases, securities,the Bank, which the liquidating trustee alleged are voidable under applicable federal bankruptcy and derivatives. Accordingly, manystate law. The complaint also addressed treatment of our revenue contracts will not be affected based on our current assessment. Our accounting policies will not change materially since the principles of revenue recognition from the Update are largely consistent with existing guidance and current practices applied by the Company. The Company has not identified material changes to the timing or amount of revenue recognition, but will provide qualitative disclosures of performance obligations and will continue to evaluate disaggregation for significant categories of revenueBank's claims filed in the scopebankruptcy cases.

On August 31, 2022, the trustee filed his amended complaint against the former client, the Bank, the Company, four officers of the guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB amended existing accounting guidance related to the recognitionBank and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. These amendments make targeted improvements to U.S. GAAP as follows:  (1) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidationone independent director of the investee)Bank. The amended complaint alleged that the former client engaged in a check kiting scheme involving multiple banks. The amended complaint alleged that a series of business transactions among the client, his related entities and the Bank are voidable under applicable bankruptcy and state laws. The amended complaint also alleged that the Bank, the Company and the five individual bank representatives who are named as defendants violated various federal and state laws in assisting the former client in his check kiting scheme. On October 26, 2022, the trustee filed his second amended complaint which was virtually identical to be measured at fair value with changeshis amended complaint. On January 5, 2023, the Bank, the Company and the five individual bank representatives filed motions to dismiss the second amended complaint. On May 30, 2023, the court issued its decision granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss in fair value recognizedpart and denying it in net income. However,part. The court dismissed all claims against the Company and the Bank’s independent director. The court dismissed several of the claims against the defendants but granted the trustee the right to file an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions foramended complaint.

This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and should be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. Adopting this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.Contents

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to leases. This update, effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, will replace existing lease guidance in GAAP and will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. When implemented, lessees and lessors will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company currently has approximately $4.7 million of lease obligations that would come on balance sheet as both assets and liabilities upon adoption of this accounting standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to employee share-based payment accounting. This standard requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this new standard could result in increased volatility to reported income tax expense related to excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies for employee share-based transactions, however, the actual amounts recognized in income tax expense will be dependent on the amount of employee share-based transactions and the stock price at the time of vesting or exercise.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, adopting this new standard  resulted in $964,000  in income tax benefit offsetting income tax expense and current tax liability due to the vesting of  restricted stock and performance stock units.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to credit losses on financial instruments. This update will change the accounting for credit losses on loans and debt securities. For loans, the proposal will require an expected credit loss model rather than the current incurred loss model to determine the allowance for credit losses. The expected credit loss model would estimate losses for the estimated life of the financial asset. In addition, the guidance will modify the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which will allow for reversal of credit impairments in future periods. This guidance is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods in those fiscal years. A committee has been formed to assess the requirements of this accounting standard as it relates to the Company and develop a plan for implementing them. Management expects to recognize credit losses earlier upon adoption of this accounting standard and the expected credit loss model than it has historically done under the current incurred credit loss model and is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flow. This standard provides cash flow statement classification guidance for certain transactions including how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Management does not expect the adoption of this new accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, 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 quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. Management does not expect the adoption of this new accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components separately from the line item that includes the service cost. ASU No. 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of this new accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

37

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company's financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019.  ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently expect adoption to have an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements

NOTE 12. RECLASSIFICATIONS

ITEM 2 ‑ MANAGEMENT'S- MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Net income in the first ninesix months of 20172023 was $45.7$38.9 million, up 18.5%which decreased $10.4 million, or 21.1%, from $38.6$49.3 million for the comparable period of 2016.2022. Diluted income per common share was $1.78$1.51 in the first ninesix months of 2017, up 17.1%2023, a decrease of 21.4% from $1.52$1.92 in the comparable period of 2016.  2022. The decrease in net income for 2023 was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense of $17.3 million, or 31.5%, and an increase in provision for credit losses expense of $4.7 million. Offsetting these items was an increase to net interest income of $6.5 million, or 6.9%, and an increase to noninterest income of $636,000, or 3.0%. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the first six months of 2023 were $49.7 million, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 17.0%, compared to $59.9 million for the comparable period of 2022. Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense.
Annualized return on average total equity was 13.73%13.18% in the first ninesix months of 20172023 versus 12.51%15.72% in the comparable period of 2016.2022. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.39%1.22% in the first ninesix months of 20172023 versus 1.29%1.52% for the comparable period of 2022. The Company's average equity to average assets ratio was 9.26% in the first six months of 2023 versus 9.65% in the comparable period of 2016.2022. Equity has been negatively impacted by unrealized losses from the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, which are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Net income in second quarter of 2023 was $14.6 million, down 43.1% from $25.7 million for the comparable period of 2022. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.57 in the second quarter of 2023, down 43.0% from $1.00 in the comparable period of 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in noninterest expense of $14.8 million, or 53.1%, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $1.0 million, or 9.6%. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the second quarter of 2023 were $17.3 million, a decrease of $14.0 million, or 44.7%, compared to $31.3 million for the comparable period of 2022.
Annualized return on average total equity was 9.70% in the second quarter of 2023 versus 17.65% in the comparable period of 2022. Annualized return on average total assets was 0.91% in the second quarter of 2023 versus 1.59% in the comparable period of 2022. The average equity to average assets ratio was 10.14%9.39% in the first nine monthssecond quarter of 20172023 versus 10.32% in9.03% the comparable period of 2016.2022.


Net incomeOn June 30, 2023, the Company discovered that it had been the victim of international wire fraud resulting in an estimated loss of $18.1 million, which is net of estimated insurance coverage of $4.1 million. The loss net of tax amounts to $13.6 million, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share for the third quarterthree and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.
As a result, the Company’s core operational profitability, which is a non‐GAAP measure that excludes the estimated
effect of 2017this one‐time loss, was $15.8 million, up 17.4% from $13.5$26.8 million for the comparable period of 2016.  Diluted income perquarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $24.3 million for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2023. Core profitability improved 10% on a linked quarter basis and 4% on an annual basis. The fraudulent wire activity resulted from a highly sophisticated business email compromise directed by a foreign threat actor that targeted a specific general ledger account at the Bank. To facilitate the fraud, the threat actor compromised a single employee email account outside the Company's network and used a forged wire transfer form.

A third‐party forensic investigation determined that no client accounts were threatened by this activity, nor was
there any attempt to access any client information or funds. Additionally, the investigation concluded that the Company's network was never penetrated and that the foreign threat actor made no attempt to penetrate the network.

On June 30, 2023, the Company notified its insurance carriers about the fraudulent wire activity and engaged a
forensic technology investigation firm to conduct a thorough investigation. The Company also notified the United
States Secret Service, the FBI and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN. In addition, the Company
has communicated actively with its primary regulators.

The Company’s tangible common shareequity to tangible assets ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.629.04% at June 30, 2023, compared to 8.92% at June 30, 2022 and 8.79% at December 31, 2022. Tangible equity and tangible assets have been impacted by declines in the third quartermarket value of 2017, up 17.0% from $0.53the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities portfolio as a result of the rising interest rate environment. These declines have generated unrealized losses in the comparable period of 2016.  Annualized return on average total equity was 13.71%available-for-sale investment securities portfolio which are reflected in the third quarterCompany’s reported accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized losses from available-for-sale investment securities were $202.0 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $175.6 million at June 30, 2022 and $215.3 million at December 31, 2022.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Certain of the Company'sCompany’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company'sCompany’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and the valuation and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities.

credit losses. See “Note 4 – Allowance for LoanCredit Losses and Credit Quality” for more information on this critical accounting policy.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the principal is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for loan losses is taken based on management's ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance is conducted monthly. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company's control.

The level of loan loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, changes in market risk, changes in concentration risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the allocation for specific watch list credits in determining the appropriate level of the loan loss provision. Furthermore, management's overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.

The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates by management. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that generally includes consideration of the following factors: changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors although they represent the most commonly cited factors. With respect to specific allocation levels for individual credits, management considers the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and the current valuation of collateral as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, allocations are assigned based upon historical experience unless the rate of loss is expected to be greater than historical losses as noted below.  A detailed analysis is performed on loans that are classified but determined not to be impaired which incorporates probability of default with a loss given default scenario to develop non-specific allocations for the loan pool. These allocations may be adjusted based on the other factors cited above. An appropriate level of general allowance for pooled loans is determined after considering the following: application of historical loss percentages, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity and general economic conditions. It is also possible that the following could affect the overall process: social, political, economic and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to change, which may be significant. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for loan losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

39

Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration function. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and a consensus is reached by credit administration and the loan review officer. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that indicate the loan is impaired. Considerations with respect to specific allocations for these individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) does the customer's cash flow or net worth appear insufficient to repay the loan; (b) is there adequate collateral to repay the loan; (c) has the loan been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) is the loan impaired; (e) are there other reasons where the ultimate collectability of the loan is in question; or (f) are there unique loan characteristics that require special monitoring.

Allocations are also applied to categories of loans considered not to be individually impaired, but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. In addition, general allocations are made for other pools of loans, including non-classified loans. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for portfolio segments of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and multi-family, agri-business and agricultural, other commercial, consumer 1-4 family mortgage and other consumer loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on a three-year historical average for loan losses for these portfolios, subjectively adjusted for economic factors and portfolio trends.

Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for loan losses, the Company's allowance for loan losses includes an unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses incorporates the Company's judgmental determination of inherent losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as the level of classified credits, economic uncertainties, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, broad portfolio quality trends and trends in the composition of the Company's large commercial loan portfolio and related large dollar exposures to individual borrowers.

Valuation and Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or pricing models, which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Different judgments and assumptions used in pricing could result in different estimates of value. The fair value of certain securities is determined using unobservable inputs, primarily observable inputs of similar securities.

At the end of each reporting period, securities held in the investment portfolio are evaluated on an individual security level for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with current accounting guidance. Impairment is other-than-temporary if the decline in the fair value of the security is below its amortized cost and it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be received.

Significant judgments are required in determining impairment, which includes making assumptions regarding the estimated prepayments, loss assumptions and the change in interest rates.

We consider the following factors when determining other-than-temporary impairment for a security or investment:

·the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than amortized cost;
·the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer;
·the underlying fundamentals of the relevant market and the outlook for such market for the near future; and
·our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

40

The assessment of whether a decline exists that is other-than-temporary involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. If, in management's judgment, other-than-temporary impairment exists, the cost basis of the security will be written down to the computed net present value, and the unrealized loss will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an immediate reduction of current earnings (as if the loss had been realized in the period of other-than-temporary impairment).

Net income was $45.7 million in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $7.1 million, or 18.5%, versus net income of $38.6 million in the first nine months of 2016. Net interest income increased $12.9 million, or 14.8%, to $100.5 million versus $87.6 million in the first nine months of 2016. Net interest income increased primarily due to a 10.1% increase in average earning assets.  An increase of $371.2 million, or 13.0%, in average commercial loans from the first nine months of 2016 was the primary reason for the increase in average earning assets over the past twelve months, which reflects our continuing strategic focus on commercial lending.  The net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 3.32% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 3.17% for the first nine months of 2016.

Net income was $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.3 million, or 17.4%, versus net income of $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. Net interest income increased $4.9 million, or 16.5%, to $34.6 million versus $29.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. Net interest income increased primarily due to a 7.6% increase in average earning assets, driven by an increase of 12.0% in the commercial loan portfolio.  In addition,
(1)Noninterest expense/net interest income increasedplus noninterest income.
(2)Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful to understanding the Company’s financial performance. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are used by management for planning and forecasting purposes, including measures based on “tangible common equity,” which is “total equity” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax, and “tangible assets,” which is “total assets” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax. The tangible capital ratio is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill, net of deferred taxes. See reconciliation on the next page.
(3)Non-GAAP financial measure. Calculated by removing the fair market value adjustment impact of the investment securities portfolio from tangible equity and tangible assets. Management believes this is an important measure because it provides better comparability to prior periods. See reconciliation on the next page.
(4)Non-GAAP financial measure. Pretax pre-provision earnings is calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it may enable investors to identify the trends in the Company's earnings exclusive of the effects of tax and provision expense, which may vary significantly from period to period. See reconciliation below.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures are provided below (in thousands, except for per share data).

Adjusted core noninterest expense, adjusted earnings before income taxes, core operational profitability, core operational diluted earnings per common share and adjusted core efficiency ratio are non‐GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. These adjusted amounts are calculated by excluding the impact of the wire fraud loss and corresponding reduction to salaries and employee benefits for the three‐ and six‐month periods ended June 30, 2023. Management considers these measures of financial performance to be meaningful to understanding the company’s core business performance for these periods.
Net Income
Net income was $38.9 million in the federal funds rate by 0.25%first six months of 2023, which decreased $10.4 million, or 21.1%, from $49.3 million for the comparable period of 2022. The decrease in December 2016 and both March and Junenet income for the first six months of 2017.  The net interest margin2023 was 3.35% in the third quarter of 2017 versus 3.08% in 2016. The higher margin reflectedprimarily due to an increase in loannoninterest expense of $17.3 million, or 31.5%, and securities yields, which more than offset thean increase in the costprovision for credit losses expense of funds.

$4.7 million. Offsetting these items was an increase to net interest income of $6.5 million, or 6.9%, and an increase to noninterest income of $636,000, or 3.0%.
Net income in second quarter of 2023 was $14.6 million, down 43.1% from $25.7 million for the comparable period of 2022. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.57 in the second quarter of 2023, down 43.0% from $1.00 in the comparable period of 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in noninterest expense of $14.8 million, or 53.1%, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $1.0 million, or 9.6%.
On June 30, 2023, the Company discovered that it had been the victim of international wire fraud resulting in an estimated loss of $18.1 million. The loss net of tax amounts to $13.6 million, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.
As a result, the Company’s core operational profitability, which is a non‐GAAP measure that excludes the estimated
effect of this one‐time loss, was $26.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $24.3 million for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2023. Core profitability improved 10% on a linked quarter basis and 4% on an annual basis. The fraudulent wire activity resulted from a highly sophisticated business email compromise directed by a foreign threat actor that targeted a specific general ledger account at the bank. To facilitate the fraud, the threat actor compromised a single employee email account outside the company's network and used a forged wire transfer form.

(1)The earning assets and interest bearing liabilities used to calculate interest differentials are based on average daily balances for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The changes in net interest income are created by changes in interest rates and changes in the volumes of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings. In the table above, changes attributable to volume are computed using the change in volume from the prior year multiplied by the previous year's rate, and changes attributable to rate are computed using the change in rate from the prior year multiplied by the previous year's volume. The change in interest or expense due to both rate and volume has been allocated between factors in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
(2)Tax exempt income was converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis at a 35 percent tax rate for 2017 and 2016. The tax equivalent rate for tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities acquired after January 1, 1983 included the TEFRA adjustment applicable to nondeductible interest expense.

(2)Loan fees, which are immaterial in relation to total taxable loan interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are included as taxable loan interest income.
(3)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.
Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $12.9$6.5 million, or 14.8%6.8%, to $102.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023, compared withto $96.2 million for the first ninesix months of 2016. The increased level of net2022. Growth in average loans and an improvement in earning assets yields were the primary drivers behind the $62.1 million, or 59.5%. increase in tax equivalent interest income duringbetween the first ninetwo periods. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the average balance of investment securities. Interest expense, which partially offset the positive impact of the increase to tax equivalent interest income, increased by $55.6 million, or 686.1%. and was driven by increased funding costs from increased average interest bearing liabilities and decreased average noninterest bearing liabilities.

Offsetting these decreases was largely driven by an increase in average earning assets of $380.6 million, which resulted primarily from loan growth.  Average loans outstanding, which increased $395.6$398.1 million, or 9.1%, to $3.571$4.762 billion during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023, compared to $3.176$4.364 billion during the same period of 2016, with most2022. Total average interest bearing liabilities were $4.178 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $208.0 million, or 5.2%, from $3.970 billion for the growth being in commercial loans.  The earning asset growthsix months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was funded through deposit growthdriven by increased interest bearing deposits of $58.7 million, or 1.5%, from $3.905 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $3.964 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and an increase in short-term borrowings.  Average short-termtotal average borrowings increased by $117.6of $149.3 million, average interest bearing checking accounts increased by $113.9or 231.0%, from $64.6 million average noninterestfor the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $214.0 million for the six month ended June 30, 2023.

The yield onnet interest margin expansion was driven by a 500 basis point increase to the target Federal Funds rate implemented by the Federal Reserve through a series of rate increases beginning in March of 2022. The target Federal Funds rate increased from a zero-bound range of 0.00%-0.25% in March 2022 to a range of 5.00%-5.25% at June 30, 2023.

Increases to the Company's earning asset yields and interest expense as a percentage of total loans are variableaverage earning assets between the two periods were driven by the Federal Reserve's action to increase the target Federal Funds rate loansto 5.25% from 0.25%. The target Federal Funds rate was increased 350 basis points between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, increasing the target Federal Funds rate range from 1.50%-1.75% to 5.00%-5.25%. While the rate increases have positively affected the Company's yields on earning assets, the Company has experienced a corresponding increase to funding costs as excess customer liquidity was utilized and the competition for deposits has increased throughout the industry.

Management is aware that, as interest rates rise, any unrealized loss in the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio will increase, and as interest rates fall the unrealized gain in the investment portfolio will rise. Since the majority of the bonds in the investment portfolio are fixed-rate, with only a few adjustable-rate bonds, we would expect our investment portfolio to follow this market value pattern. This is taken into consideration when evaluating the gain or loss of investment securities in the portfolio and the potential for an allowance for credit losses.
Purchases of securities available for saleavailable-for-sale totaled $114.2$4.3 million in the first ninesix months of 2017.2023.

Effective duration for the investment portfolio was 6.6 years at June 30, 2023, compared to 4.0 years at December 31, 2019 before the pandemic, and 6.5 years at December 31, 2022. Duration of the portfolio extended following the deployment of excess liquidity to the portfolio and the dramatic rise in interest rates during 2022 and into 2023. The ratio of investment securities as a percentage of total assets remains elevated over historical levels of approximately 12-14% during 2014 to 2020. The increase in this ratio resulted from the deployment of excess liquidity during 2021 and 2022 to the investment securities portfolio as an earning asset alternative for excess balance sheet liquidity stemming from increased levels of core deposits from government stimulus programs. The Company expects the investment securities portfolio as a percentage of assets to decrease over time as the proceeds from pay downs, sales and maturities of these investment securities are used to fund loan portfolio growth and for other general liquidity purposes. Paydowns from prepayments and scheduled payments of $38.6$28.9 million were received in the first ninesix months of 2017,2023, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $2.3$2.4 million.  Sales of securities totaled $35.8 million in the first nine months of 2017.

The increase inratio of nonperforming assets was primarily due to two commercial relationships being placed in nonaccrual status.  One of the nonaccrual relationships is with a financial services firm and the second is with a manufacturer.

Net recoveries totaled $484,000 in the third quarter of 2017, versus net charge-offs of $394,000 during the third quarter of 2016 and net recoveries of $289,000 during the second quarter of 2017.

A loan is impairedindividually analyzed when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. ImpairmentThe analysis for smaller loans that are similar in nature and which are not in nonaccrual or troubled debt restructuredmodified status, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, is determined based on the class of loans and impairment is determined on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired,individually analyzed, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Total impairedindividually analyzed loans decreased by $4.0$12.9 million, or 19.4%41.1%, to $16.7$18.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 from $20.7$31.3 million at December 31, 2016.  The decrease in the impaired loans category was2022, due primarily due to removing onea charge off of a single commercial credit from impaired status due to improved performance as well as payments received on impaired commercial credits.

during the first quarter of 2023.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loancredit losses when management believes that the principal is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurredcurrent expected credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation of the loans by management, as well as other probable incurredcurrent expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower'sborrower’s ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of generalGeneral allowance is determined after considering the following factors: application of historical loss percentages using a probability of default/loss given default approach subject to a floor, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans: Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The regulations also contain a Special Mention category. Special Mention applies to loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management'smanagement’s close attention. The Company'sCompany’s policy is to establish a specific allowance for loancredit losses for any assets where management has identified conditions or circumstances that indicate an asset is impaired.nonperforming. If an asset or portion, thereof is classified as a loss, the Company'sCompany’s policy is to either establish specified allowances for loancredit losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge-off such amount.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the allowance for loancredit losses was 1.25%1.48% of total loans outstanding, versus 1.26%1.54% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2016.2022. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, management believed the allowance for loancredit losses was at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions do not remain stabilized,deteriorate, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require increases in the allowance for loancredit losses. The process of identifying probable incurred credit losses is a subjective process. Therefore, the Company maintains a general allowance to cover probable credit losses within the entire portfolio. The methodology management uses to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve includes the considerations below.

The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, most of which are extended to small or medium-sized businesses fromwith a broad range of revenue and within a wide variety of industries. Generally,Traditionally, this type of lending hasmay have more credit risk than other types of lending because of the size and diversity of the credits. The Company manages this risk by utilizing relatively conservative credit structures, by adjusting its pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and market area. The Company has limited exposure to commercial

office space borrowers, all of which are located in the Bank's Indiana markets. Loans totaling $68.8 million for this sector represented only 1.4% of total loans at June 30, 2023.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, based on the basis of management'smanagement’s review of the loan portfolio, the Company had 79 credits59 credit relationships totaling $161.1$186.0 million on the classified loan list versus 84 credits58 credit relationships totaling $147.3$161.0 million onas of December 31, 2016.2022. The increase in classified loans for the first six months of 2023 resulted primarily from borrower risk rating downgrades of pass rated loans to the non-individually analyzed portion of the watch list. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Company had $83.3$163.7 million of assets classified as Special Mention, $79.1$21.5 million classified as Substandard, $0 classified as Doubtful and $0 classified as Loss as compared to $74.3$115.7 million, $72.4$45.3 million, $0 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

2022. Watch list loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 3.83% as of June 30, 2023, up from a historical low at 3.42% as of December 31, 2022.
Allowance estimates are developed by management after taking into account actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions.conditions and a reasonably supportable forecast period. The Company has regularannual discussions regarding this methodology with regulatory authorities. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company'sCompany’s loan portfolio and are applied to individual loans based onupon loan type.segment.

The allowance for loancredit losses increased 4.1%decreased $548,000, or less than 1%, or $1.8 million, from $43.7$72.6 million at December 31, 20162022 to $45.5$72.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.  Pooled loan allocations increased from $39.62023. The decrease was a result of net charge-offs recorded during the period of $5.7 million, at December 31, 2016offset by provision expense of $5.2 million. Of the $5.7 million in net charge-offs, $5.5 million was attributable to $41.7 million at September 30, 2017,a single deteriorated commercial relationship which was primarily due to management's view of current credit quality and the current economic environment.  Impaired loan allocations decreased $313,000 from $4.1 million at December 31, 2016 to $3.8 million at September 30, 2017 due primarily to a decreasereserved for in impaired loans.  The unallocated component of the allowance for loan lossescredit losses. The increased $324,000 from $2.8 million at December 31, 2016provision expense recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to $3.1 million at September 30, 2017.  While general trendsincreases in the overall economyqualitative and credit quality were stable or favorable, the Company believes that the unallocated component is appropriate given the uncertainty that exists regarding near term economic conditions.

Mostenvironmental risk factors for certain segments of the Company's loan growth has beenportfolio that could be impacted by higher borrowing costs and the potential economic weakness in the Company's markets as well as portfolio loan growth. As the bulk of the Company’s lending activity is concentrated in the commercial loan portfolio, which can result in overall asset quality being influenced by a small number of credits. Managementcredits, management has historically considered growth and portfolio composition when determining loancredit loss allocations. Management believes that it is prudent to continue to provide for loan losses in a manner consistent with its historical approach due to the loan growth described above and current economic conditions.

Economic conditions in the Company's markets have generally improved and stabilized, and management is cautiously optimistic that the growth is positively impacting its borrowers. While the growth is not robust, commercial real estate activity and manufacturing growth is occurring. The Company's continued growth strategy promotes diversification among industries as well as continued focus on enforcement of a strong credit environment and an aggressive position in loan work-out situations. The Company believes that historical industry-specific issues in the Company's markets have improved and continue to be somewhat mitigated by its overall expansion strategy, the economic environment impacting its entire geographic footprint will continue to present challenges.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk represents the Company'sCompany’s primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Corporate Risk Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in July 2017.2023. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income but doesdo not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through itsthe Bank's Asset and Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the types of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company'sCompany’s needs, as determined by itsthe Asset and Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates the assumptions used in the model. The current balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels.

Interest rate scenarios for the base, falling 300 basis points, falling 200 basis points, falling 100 basis points, falling 50 basis points, falling 25 basis points, rising 25 basis points, rising 50 basis points, rising 100 basis points, rising 200 basis points and rising 300 basis points are listed below based upon the Company'sCompany’s rate sensitive assets and liabilities at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023. The net interest income shown represents cumulative net interest income over a twelve-month time horizon. Balance sheet assumptions used for the base scenario are the same for the rising and falling simulations.

The base scenario is an annual calculation that is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the model. While the base sensitivity analysis incorporates management'smanagement’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 core deposit products, such as savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits reflect management'smanagement’s best estimate of expected future behavior.
