MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31,June 30, 2016
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the financial position of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of March 31,June 30, 2016 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods presented. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
The results of operations for the three-monthsix-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with GAAP and general practices within the banking industry.  There have been no material changes or developments in the application of accounting principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is the first ASU issued under the FASB's financial instruments project. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The guidance in this ASU requires all equity securities with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. For financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value option, the guidance requires changes in the fair value of a financial liabilities attributable to a change in instrument-specific credit risk to be recorded separately in other comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. It does require public entities to use the exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for disclosure purposes In addition, the new guidance requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that ASU 2016-01 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) was issued with the intention of improving financial reporting about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP - which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet - the guidance in the ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures. 

ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) was issued as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. Under the new guidance, several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments was issued with the intention of improving financial reporting by requiring timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets

not recorded at fair value based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will be required to be implemented through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the amendments are effective. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

Management evaluates each quarter whether unrealized losses on securities represent impairment that is other than temporary. For debt securities, the Company considers its intent to sell the securities or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities.  If such impairment is identified, based upon the intent to sell or the more likely than not threshold, the carrying amount of the security is reduced to fair value with a charge to earnings. Upon the result of the aforementioned review, management then reviews for potential other than temporary impairment based upon other qualitative factors.  In making this evaluation, management considers changes in market rates relative to those available when the security was acquired, changes in market expectations about the timing of cash flows from securities that can be prepaid, performance of the debt security, and changes in the market’s perception of the issuer’s financial health and the security’s credit quality.  If determined that a debt security has incurred other than temporary impairment, then the amount of the credit related impairment is determined.  If a credit loss is evident, the amount of the credit loss is charged to earnings and the non-credit related impairment is recognized through other comprehensive income.


As of March 31,June 30, 2016, 3217 securities had unrealized losses totaling 0.87%0.63% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 0.25%0.07% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis.  Of the 3217 securities, 1510 had been in an unrealized loss position for over twelve months at March 31,June 30, 2016.  These 1510 securities had an amortized cost basis and unrealized loss of $40.7$26.1 million and $719,000,$246,000, respectively.  The unrealized losses on debt securities at March 31,June 30, 2016 resulted from changing market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased.  Management identified no impairment related to credit quality.  At March 31,June 30, 2016, management had the intent and ability to hold impaired securities and no impairment was evaluated as other than temporary.  As a result, no other than temporary impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.
 
During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company did not sell any securities.sold 2 securities classified as available-for-sale at a gross gain of $20,000. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company sold 1821 securities classified as available-for-sale at a net gain of $115,000.$1.2 million. Of the 1821 securities sold, 811 were sold with gains totaling $250,000$1.4 million and 10 securities were sold at a loss of $135,000.
 
Securities with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $321.1$307.2 million and $285.4 million at March 31,June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Company monitors loan concentrations and evaluates individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity for each major standard industry classification segment.  At March 31,June 30, 2016, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, constituted more than 10% of the loan portfolio.  The Company’s exposure in the oil and gas industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $252.5$249.8 million, or 20.2%19.8% of total loans.  Additionally, the Company’s exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate is monitored.  At March 31,June 30, 2016, loans secured by commercial real estate (including commercial construction, farmland and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $532.5$540.0 million.  Of the $532.5$540.0 million, $467.6$463.1 million represent CRE loans, 54%55% of which are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Of the $532.5$540.0 million in loans secured by commercial real estate, $26.0$27.3 million, or 4.9%5.1%, were on nonaccrual status at March 31,June 30, 2016.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account available to absorb probable losses on loans. All losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss is likely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses at the time of recovery.  Quarterly, the probable level of losses in the existing portfolio is estimated through consideration of various factors.  Based on these estimates, the allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge‑offs (net of recoveries).

The allowance is composed of general reserves and specific reserves.  General reserves are determined by applying loss percentages to segments of the portfolio.  The loss percentages are based on each segment’s historical loss experience, generally over the past twelve to eighteen months, and adjustment factors derived from conditions in the Company’s internal and external environment.  All loans considered to be impaired are evaluated on an individual basis to determine specific reserve allocations in accordance with GAAP.  Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the calculation of general reserves.
 
Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value, which includes an estimate of credit losses expected to be realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and therefore no corresponding allowance for loan losses is recorded for these loans at

acquisition. Methods utilized to estimate any subsequently required allowance for loan losses for acquired loans not deemed credit-impairedcredit-

impaired at acquisition are similar to originated loans; however, the estimate of loss is based on the unpaid principal balance and then compared to any remaining unaccreted purchase discount. To the extent that the calculated loss is greater than the remaining unaccreted purchase discount, an allowance is recorded for such difference.
 
The Company has an internal loan review department that is independent of the lending function to challenge and corroborate the loan grade assigned by the lender and to provide additional analysis in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
A rollforward of the activity within the allowance for loan losses by loan type and recorded investment in loans for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans
 
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payment have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual.  For loans placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and subsequent payments received are applied to the principal balance.  Interest income is recorded after principal has been satisfied and as payments are received.  Non-accrual loans may be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest amounts contractually owed are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and there is a period of at least six months to one year of repayment performance by the borrower depending on the contractual payment terms.

The amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans, had the loans not been classified as non-accrual, totaled approximately $757,000$1.6 million and $342,000$851,000 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Interest actually received on non-accrual loans subsequent to their transfer to non-accrual status totaled at March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $59,000$70,000 and $11,000,$13,000, respectively.
 
Impaired Loans
 
Loans are considered impaired when, based upon current information, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  All loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, based on credit risk rating factors, are reviewed to determine whether impairment testing is appropriate.  An allowance for each impaired loan is calculated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collaterally dependent.  All impaired loans are reviewed, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis.  Existing valuations are reviewed to determine if additional discounts or new appraisals are required.  After this review, when comparing the resulting collateral valuation to the outstanding loan balance, if the discounted collateral value exceeds the loan balance no specific allocation is reserved.  Acquired impaired loans are generally not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported with impaired loans or troubled debt restructurings, even if they would otherwise qualify for such treatment.

Credit Quality
 

The Company manages credit risk by observing written underwriting standards and lending policy established by the Board of Directors and management to govern all lending activities.  The risk management program requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by a loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
Loans can be classified into the following three risk rating grades: pass, special mention, and substandard/doubtful.  Factors considered in determining a risk rating grade include debt service capacity, capital structure/liquidity, management, collateral quality, industry risk, company trends/operating performance, repayment source, revenue diversification/customer concentration, quality of financial information, and financing alternatives.  Pass grade signifies the highest quality of loans to loans with reasonable credit risk, which may include borrowers with marginally adequate financial performance, but have the ability to repay the debt.  Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that warrant extra attention from the loan officer and other management personnel, but still have the ability to repay the debt.  Substandard classification includes loans with well-defined weaknesses with risk of potential loss.  Loans classified as doubtful are considered to have little recovery value and are charged off.

The following tables present the classes of loans by risk rating (in thousands):

7. Fair Value Measurement
 
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:
 
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
 
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.


Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value.
 
Cash and Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks and Federal Funds Sold—The carrying value of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Securities Available-for-Sale—Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available.  If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.  Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter market funds.  Securities are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy when the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 inputs are used to value U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal securities, single issue trust preferred securities, certain pooled trust preferred securities, collateralized debt obligations and certain equity securities that are not actively traded.

 
Securities Held-to-Maturity—The fair value of securities held-to-maturity is estimated using the same measurement techniques as securities available-for-sale.
 
Other Investments—The carrying value of other investments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Loans—For disclosure purposes, the fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  For variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  No adjustment to fair value is taken related to illiquidity discounts.  However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established.  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired.  Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management uses one of three methods to measure impairment, which, include collateral value, market value of similar debt, and discounted cash flows.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.  Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral or where the loan balance has been charged down to fair value require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
 
For non-performing loans, collateral valuations currently in file are reviewed for acceptability in terms of timeliness and applicability.  Although each determination is made based on the facts and circumstances of each credit, generally valuations are no longer considered acceptable when there has been physical deterioration of the property from when it was last appraised, or there has been a significant change in the underlying assumptions of the appraisal.  If the valuation is deemed to be unacceptable, a new appraisal is ordered.  New appraisals are typically received within 4-6 weeks.  While awaiting new appraisals, the valuation in the file is utilized, net of discounts.  Discounts are derived from available relevant market data, selling costs, taxes, and insurance.  Any perceived collateral deficiency utilizing the discounted value is specifically reserved (as required by ASC Topic 310) until the new appraisal is received or charged off.  Thus, provisions or charge-offs are recognized in the period the credit is identified as non-performing.

The following sources are utilized to set appropriate discounts: in-market real estate agents, current local sales data, bank history for devaluation of similar property, Sheriff’s valuations and buy/sell contracts.  If a real estate agent is used to market and sell the property, values are discounted 10% for selling costs.  Additional discounts may be applied if research from the above sources indicates a discount is appropriate given devaluation of similar property from the time of the initial valuation.
 
Other Real Estate—Other real estate (“ORE”) properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate, and annually thereafter to insure other real estate assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  Exceptions to obtaining initial appraisals are properties where a buy/sell agreement exists for the loan value or greater, or where a Sheriff’s valuation has been received for properties liquidated through a Sheriff sale.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the ORE as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market prices, the Company records the ORE asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

 
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies—Fair value for life insurance cash surrender value is based on cash surrender values indicated by the insurance companies.
 
Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The estimated fair value does not include customer related intangibles.
 
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase—The fair value approximates the carrying value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase due to their short-term nature.
 
Short-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—The fair value approximates the carrying value of short-term FHLB advances due to their short-term nature.
 

Long-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—The fair value of long-term FHLB advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar types of borrowings with similar terms.
 
Junior Subordinated Debentures—For junior subordinated debentures that bear interest on a floating basis, the carrying amount approximates fair value.  For junior subordinated debentures that bear interest on a fixed rate basis, the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar types of borrowings.
 
Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Credit Card Guarantees—Because commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally short-term and made using variable rates, the carrying value and estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

Limitations
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at March 31,June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana that conducts substantially all of its business through its wholly owned subsidiary bank, MidSouth Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”).  We offer complete banking services to commercial and retail customers in Louisiana and south and central Texas with 5857 locations and are connected to a worldwide ATM network that provides customers with access to more than 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs.  We are community oriented and focus primarily on offering commercial and consumer loan and deposit services to individuals, small businesses, and middle market businesses.
 
The following discussion and analysis identifies significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the financial statements accompanying this report.  We encourage you to read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto presented herein and with the financial statements, the notes thereto, and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements included in this Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to certain statements under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
 
The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” and similar expressions are typically used to identify forward-looking statements.  These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.  Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 2015 Annual Report on form 10-K and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report and the following:
 
changes in interest rates and market prices that could affect the net interest margin, asset valuation, and expense levels;
changes in local economic and business conditions, including, without limitation, changes related to the oil and gas industries, that could adversely affect customers and their ability to repay borrowings under agreed upon terms, adversely affect the value of the underlying collateral related to their borrowings, and reduce demand for loans;
increased competition for deposits and loans which could affect compositions, rates and terms;
changes in the levels of prepayments received on loans and investment securities that adversely affect the yield and value of the earning assets;
a deviation in actual experience from the underlying assumptions used to determine and establish our allowance for loan losses (“ALL”), which could result in greater than expected loan losses;
changes in the availability of funds resulting from reduced liquidity or increased costs;
the timing, ability to complete and the impact of proposed and/or future acquisitions, the success or failure of integrating acquired operations, and the ability to capitalize on growth opportunities upon entering new markets;
the timing, ability to complete and the impact of proposed and/or future efficiency initiatives;
the ability to acquire, operate, and maintain effective and efficient operating systems;
increased asset levels and changes in the composition of assets that would impact capital levels and regulatory capital ratios;
loss of critical personnel and the challenge of hiring qualified personnel at reasonable compensation levels;
legislative and regulatory changes, including the changes in the regulatory capital framework under the Federal Reserve Board’s Basel III regulatory capital reforms, the impact of regulations under the Dodd-Frank  Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), including the implementation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and other changes in banking, securities and tax laws and regulations and their application by our regulators, changes in the scope and cost of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance and other coverage;
regulations and restrictions resulting from our participation in government sponsored programs such as the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund, including potential retroactive changes in such programs;
changes in accounting principles, policies, and guidelines applicable to financial holding companies and banking;

acts of war, terrorism, cyber intrusion, weather, or other catastrophic events beyond our control; and
the ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.

We can give no assurance that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition.  We disclaim any intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, regardless of whether new information becomes available, future developments occur or otherwise.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The accounting principles we follow and the methods of applying these principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general banking practices.  Our most critical accounting policy relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments.  The determination of the adequacy of the allowance involves significant judgment and complexity and is based on many factors.  If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the estimates would be updated and additional provisions for loan losses may be required.  See Asset Quality – Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 1 and Note 3 of the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Another of our critical accounting policies relates to the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.  We account for acquisitions in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, which requires the use of the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method, we are required to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value, including intangible assets.  Determination of fair value involves estimates based on internal valuations of discounted cash flow analyses performed, third party valuations, or other valuation techniques that involve subjective assumptions.  Additionally, the term of the useful lives and appropriate amortization periods of intangible assets is subjective.  Resulting goodwill from an acquisition under the purchase method of accounting represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if deemed necessary.  If the fair value of an asset exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no charge to goodwill is made.  If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset, goodwill will be adjusted through a charge to earnings.  Given the instability of the economic environment, it is reasonably possible that the methodology of the assessment of potential loan losses and goodwill impairment could change in the near-term or could result in impairment going forward.
 
A third critical accounting policy relates to deferred tax assets and liabilities.  We record deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.  In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets is required.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or the full amount of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.  A deferred tax liability is not recognized for portions of the allowance for loan losses for income tax purposes in excess of the financial statement balance.  Such a deferred tax liability will only be recognized when it becomes apparent that those temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% more likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Results of Operations
 
For the Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015
 
Net earnings available to common shareholders totaled $1.9$1.7 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2016, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1.3$4.9 million reported for the firstsecond quarter of 2015.  Diluted earnings for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 were $0.17$0.15 per common share, compared to $0.12$0.42 per common share reported for the firstsecond quarter of 2015.  The firstsecond quarter of 2015 included gain on sales of securities of $115,000.$1.1 million and income from a death benefit on bank owned life insurance of $160,000. Excluding this non-operating income, operating earnings per share for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 was $0.11.$0.35.
 

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income was $18.6$18.2 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2016, a $940,000$1.5 million decrease compared to $19.6$19.7 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2015. Our annualized net interest margin, on a FTE basis, was 4.24%4.17% for the three months ended

March 31, June 30, 2016, compared to 4.44%4.38% for the same period in 2015. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, the FTE margin decreased 2113 basis points, from 4.32%4.21% to 4.11%4.08% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Excluding non-operating income of $115,000$20,000 for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, noninterest income decreased $239,000$4,000 in quarterly comparison.

Noninterest expenses increased $65,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $99,000 increase in ATM and debit card processing fees, an $89,000 increase in FDIC premiums and a $54,000 increase in legal and professional fees, which were partially offset by a $198,000 decrease in occupancy expense. The provision for loan losses increased $1.2 million in quarterly comparison, from $4.7$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 to $4.5$2.3 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.The decrease in noninterest income resulted primarily from a $86,000 reduction in letter of credit income in addition to a $44,000 decrease in mortgage program fee income.

Noninterest expenses increased $598,000 in quarterly comparison.

Net Interest Income
 
Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly affect net interest income.  Our net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.24%4.17% and 4.44%4.38% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.   Tables 1 and 3 and tables 2 and 4 below analyze the changes in net interest income in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015.2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income totaled $18.6$18.2 million and $19.6$19.7 million for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The FTE net interest income decreased $940,000$1.5 million in prior year quarterly comparison primarily due to a $931,000$1.4 million decrease in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans decreased due to a $45.6$56.2 million decrease in the average balance of loans, as well a decrease in the average yield on loans of 1419 basis points, from 5.64%5.58% to 5.50%5.39%. The purchase accounting adjustments added 249 basis points to the average yield on loans for the firstsecond quarter of 2016 and 1319 basis points to the average yield on loans for the firstsecond quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments, average loan yields declined 259 basis points in prior year quarterly comparison, from 5.51%5.39% to 5.26%5.30%. Loan yields have declined primarily as the result of a sustained low interest rate environment and a higher volume of loans on nonaccrual status.


Investment securities totaled $415.8$427.7 million, or 21.7%22.2% of total assets at March 31,June 30, 2016, versus $435.0$426.9 million, or 22.6%21.9% of total assets at December 31,June 30, 2015. The investment portfolio had an effective duration of 3.32.9 years and a net unrealized gain of $5.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2016. The average volume of investment securities increased $8.3decreased $11.1 million in prior year quarterly comparison. The average tax equivalent yield on investment securities decreased 135 basis points, from 2.71%2.57% to 2.58%2.52%.

The average yield on all earning assets decreased 20 basis points in prior year quarterly comparison, from 4.77%4.69% for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 to 4.57%4.49% for the firstsecond quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, the average yield on total earning assets decreased 2812 basis points, from 4.67%4.55% to 4.39%4.43% for the three month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $4,000$20,000 in prior year quarterly comparison. A $40,000Decreases in interest expenses included an $18,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits, was partially offset by a $15,000$13,000 increase in interest expense on short-term FHLB advances and a $17,000$9,000 decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. These decreases were partially offset by a $19,000 increase in interest expense on junior subordinated debentures. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments on acquired certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.45%0.46% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to 0.47% for the three months ended March 31,and 2015.

Long-term FHLB advances totaled $25.7$25.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2016, compared to $25.9 million at December 31, 2015.  The FHLB advances are fixed rate advances with rates ranging from 1.99% to 5.06% and have a range of maturities from AprilJuly 2016 to January 2019.  The FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on first mortgages and other qualifying loans. 
 
As a result of these changes in volume and yield on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the FTE net interest margin decreased 2021 basis points, from 4.44%4.38% for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 to 4.24%4.17% for the firstsecond quarter of 2016. Excluding purchase

accounting adjustments on loans, deposits and FHLB borrowings, the FTE margin decreased 2113 basis points, from 4.32%4.21% for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 to 4.11%4.08% for the firstsecond quarter of 2016.

In year-to-date comparison, FTE net interest income decreased $2.4 million primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in interest income on loans. The average volume of loans decreased $50.9 million in year-over-year comparison, and the average yield on loans decreased 17 basis points, from 5.61% to 5.44%. The average volume of investment securities decreased $1.4 million in year-over-year comparison, and the average yield on investment securities decreased 9 basis points for the same period. The average yield on earning assets decreased in year-over-year comparison, from 4.73% at June 30, 2015 to 4.53% at June 30, 2016. The purchase accounting adjustments added 16 basis points to the average yield on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 12 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the average yield on earning assets decreased 17 basis points, from 4.61% at June 30, 2015 to 4.44% at June 30, 2016.

Interest expense decreased $24,000 in year-over-year comparison. A $58,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits was partially offset by a $36,000 increase in interest expense on junior subordinated debentures. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities remained unchanged at 0.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities remained unchanged at 0.46% for the same period. The FTE net interest margin decreased 20 basis points, from 4.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 4.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the FTE net interest margin decreased 18 basis points, from 4.27% to 4.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, primarily due to a decline in the average rate earned on loans.

Our energy-related loan portfolio at March 31,June 30, 2016 totaled $252.5$249.8 million, or 20.2%19.8% of total loans, down from $264.7 million at December 31, 2015.  The majority of MidSouth’s energy lending is focused on oil field service companies.  Of the 431425 total relationships in our energy-related loan portfolio, 2322 relationships totaling $50.3$53.6 million were classified, with $24.1$29.2 million on nonaccrual status at March 31,June 30, 2016.

At March 31,June 30, 2016, reserves for potential energy-related loan losses approximated 3.1%3.3% of energy loans. Included in the 3.1%3.3% is 0.6% reserved for potential yet unidentified losses in the energy-related portfolio. During the first quarter of 2016, one energy-related credit relationship totaling $5.5 million was classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). The TDR defaulted on its restructured terms during the first quarter of 2016.
 
Within the $467.6$463.1 million commercial real estate portfolio, $434.7$432.1 million is secured by commercial property, $17.5$18.0 million is secured by multi-family property, and $15.4$13.0 million is secured by farmland.  Of the $434.7$432.1 million secured by commercial property, $252.4$254.4 million, or 58.1%58.9%, is owner-occupied.  Of the $150.0$148.4 million residential real estate portfolio, 87.6%88.4% represented loans secured by first liens.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements.  These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.  Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.  For the period ended March 31,June 30, 2016, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
Liquidity and Capital
 
Bank Liquidity
 

Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet maturing contractual obligations and to fund operations.  The Bank’s primary liquidity needs involve its ability to accommodate customers’ demands for deposit withdrawals as well as customers’ requests for credit. Liquidity is deemed adequate when sufficient cash to meet these needs can be promptly raised at a reasonable cost to the Bank.

Liquidity is provided primarily by three sources: a stable base of funding sources, an adequate level of assets that can be readily converted into cash, and borrowing lines with correspondent banks.  Although the Bank historically has not utilized brokered deposits, this is a fourth potential source of liquidity, albeit one that is more costly and volatile.  Our core deposits are our most stable and important source of funding.  Cash deposits at other banks, federal funds sold, and principal payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities provide additional primary sources of liquidity.  Approximately $55.9$40.8 million in projected cash flows from securities repayments for the remainder of 2016 provides an additional source of liquidity.
 
The Bank also has significant borrowing capacity with the FRB-Atlanta and with the FHLB–Dallas.  As of March 31,June 30, 2016, we had no borrowings with the FRB-Atlanta.  Long-term FHLB-Dallas advances totaled $25.7$25.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2016 and are fixed rate advances
with rates ranging from 1.99% to 5.06% and have a range of maturities from AprilJuly 2016 to January 2019.  Under existing agreements with the FHLB-Dallas, our borrowing capacity totaled $244.6$244.7 million at March 31,June 30, 2016.  The Bank has the ability to post additional collateral of approximately $92.6$114.2 million if necessary to meet liquidity needs.  Additionally, $213.3$200.5 million in loan collateral is pledged under a Borrower-in-Custody line with the FRB-Atlanta. Unsecured borrowing lines totaling $53.5 million are available through correspondent banks.  We utilize these contingency funding alternatives to meet deposit volatility, which is more likely in the current environment, given unusual competitive offerings within our markets.
 
Company Liquidity
 
At the Company level, cash is needed primarily to meet interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, dividends on our common stock and dividend payments on the Series B and Series C Preferred Stocks.  The weighted average dividend rate on the $32.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury for participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) was 4.2% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.  The dividend rate increased to 9% on February 25, 2016. Management is reviewing options to repay all or a portion of the $32.0 million.
 
On December 28, 2012, the Company issued 756,511 shares of common stock and 99,971 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the PSB acquisition.  As of March 31,June 30, 2016, there were 91,20091,100 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.  The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the payment of noncumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 4.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year.  The Series C Preferred Stock paid dividends totaling $91,000 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.
 
Dividends from the Bank totaling $2.0$4.0 million provided additional liquidity for the Company during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.  As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Bank had the ability to pay dividends to the Company of approximately $7.9$8.6 million without prior approval from its primary regulator.  As a publicly traded company, the Company also has the ability, subject to market conditions, to issue additional shares of common stock and other securities to provide funds as needed for operations and future growth of the Company. The Company renewed a $75.0 million Universal Shelf Registration during the third quarter of 2015.
 
Capital
 
The Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain minimum capital levels.  Risk-based capital requirements are intended to make regulatory capital more sensitive to the risk profile of an institution's assets.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank adopted the Basel III rules which included new minimum risk-based and leverage ratios, and modified capital and asset definitions for purposes of calculating these ratios.  These rules also created a new regulatory capital standard based on Tier 1 common equity and increased the minimum leverage and risk-based capital ratios applicable to all banking organizations.
 
In addition, the Basel III rules subject banking organizations to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer phased in by 2019 of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital ratios.  The effect of the capital conservation buffer once fully implemented in 2019 will be to increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5%, for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The new minimum capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015 for community banking organizations, such as MidSouth, whereas other requirements of the Basel III rules including the conservation buffer phase in over time.

At March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with statutory minimum capital requirements and were classified as “well capitalized.”  Minimum capital requirements include a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, with Tier 1 capital not less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 to total average adjusted assets) of 4.0% based upon the regulators latest composite rating of the institution, and a common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio

was 10.17%10.25%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.28%13.14%, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.53%14.39% and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 8.90%8.86%.  The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.38%9.49% at March 31,June 30, 2016.
 
Asset Quality
 
Credit Risk Management
 
We manage credit risk primarily by observing written, board approved policies that govern all credit underwriting and approval activities.  Our Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”) is responsible for credit underwriting and loan operations for the Bank.  The role of the CCO includes on-going review and development of lending policies, commercial credit analysis, centralized consumer underwriting, loan operations documentation and funding, and overall credit risk management procedures.  The current risk management process requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by the loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit

department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  We believe the conservative nature of our underwriting practices has resulted in strong credit quality in our loan portfolio.  Completed loan applications, credit bureau reports, financial statements, and a committee approval process remain a part of credit decisions.  Documentation of the loan decision process is required on each credit application, whether approved or denied, to ensure thorough and consistent procedures.  Additionally, we have historically recognized and disclosed significant problem loans quickly and taken prompt action to address material weaknesses in those credits.
 
Credit concentrations are monitored and reported quarterly whereby individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity are evaluated for each major standard industry classification segment.  At March 31,June 30, 2016, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, aggregated more than 10% of our loan portfolio.  Our exposure in the oil and gas (energy-related) industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $252.5$249.8 million, or 20.2%19.8% of total loans.  Of the 431425 credit relationships in the energy-related loan portfolio, 2322 relationships totaling $50.3$53.6 million were classified with $24.1$29.2 million on nonaccrual status at March 31,June 30, 2016.
 
Additionally, we monitor our exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate.  At March 31,June 30, 2016, loans secured by commercial real estate (including commercial construction, farmland and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $532.5$540.0 million.  Of the $532.5$540.0 million, $467.6$463.1 million represent CRE loans, 54%55% of which are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Of the $532.5$540.0 million in loans secured by commercial real estate, $26.0$27.3 million, or 4.9%5.1%, were on nonaccrual status at March 31,June 30, 2016.  Additional information regarding credit quality by loan classification is provided in Note 3 – Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Nonperforming assets totaled $58.1$62.9 million at March 31,June 30, 2016, an increase of $3.7$8.5 million from the $54.4 million reported at year-end 2015 and an increase of $40.6$33.9 million from the $17.6$29.1 million reported at March 31,June 30, 2015.  The increase in the first threesix months of 2016 resulted primarily from a $5.6 million commercial real estate loan unrelated to energy and a $6.5 million energy-related relationship that waswere placed on nonaccrual during the quarter.period. The $5.6$12.1 million increase was partially offset by $1.2 million in partial charge-offs of energy-related loans. Our largest credit on non-accrual is energy-related and is secured by a $786,000 partial charge-offfleet of jack-up boats. The balance of this credit at June 30, 2016 was $20.6 million. Based on the last appraisal obtained during 2015, the credit is not currently impaired; however,

we are in the process of obtaining an energy related relationship.updated appraisal, and we anticipate making a decision as to whether any impairment exists based on this new appraisal during the third quarter of 2016.

Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed increased to 4.64%4.97% at March 31,June 30, 2016 from 4.29% at December 31, 2015 and 1.34%2.24% at March 31,June 30, 2015.  Performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $5.7 million$154,000 at March 31,June 30, 2016, compared to $164,000 at December 31, 2015 and $407,000$21.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2015.  The $5.5$21.4 million of loans restructuredperforming TDRs at June 30, 2015 were placed on nonaccrual during the firstthird quarter of 2016 represented a single, energy-related relationship.2015. Classified assets, including ORE, increased $16.3$2.6 million, or 21.3%2.8%, to $95.5 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $92.9 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $76.6 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The increase in classified assets during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2016 is primarily due to the downgrade of twoone energy-related relationshipscredit totaling $11.5 million and the downgrade of two non energy-related loans totaling $3.8$2.8 million. Additional information regarding impaired loans is included in Note 3 – Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Quarterly evaluations of the allowance for loan losses are performed in accordance with GAAP and regulatory guidelines.  The ALL is comprised of specific reserves assigned to each impaired loan for which a probable loss has been identified as well as general reserves to maintain the allowance at an acceptable level for other loans in the portfolio where historical loss experience is available that indicates certain probable losses may exist.  Factors considered in determining provisions include estimated losses in significant credits; known deterioration in concentrations of credit; historical loss experience; trends in nonperforming assets; volume, maturity and composition of the loan portfolio; off-balance sheet credit risk; lending policies and control systems; national and local economic conditions; the experience, ability and depth of lending management; and the results of examinations of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and others.  The processes by which we determine the appropriate level of the ALL, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates. We believe the $20.3$21.4 million in the ALL as of March 31,June 30, 2016 is sufficient to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio.

 
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Table 79 below presents a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include “core net interest income”, “core net interest margin”, “diluted earnings per share, operating” and “operating earnings available to common shareholders”. “Core net interest income” is defined as net interest income excluding net purchase accounting adjustments. “Core net interest margin” is defined as core net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earnings assets. “Diluted earnings per share, operating” is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items divided by diluted weighted-average shares. “Operating earnings available to common shareholders” is defined as net income available to common shareholders less tax-effected nonoperating income and expense items, including securities gains/losses.
We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they are useful for evaluating our financial condition and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial condition as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that other companies may use.
