Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes2018-06, Codification Improvements to Topic 942, Financial Services - Depository and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): AmendmentsLending. ASU 2018-06 removes outdated guidance related to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements atCircular 202 because that guidance has been rescinded by the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings. ASU 2017-03 addresses and codifies the practical considerations and applicationOffice of the required disclosures under SAB Topic 11.M forComptroller of the implementationCurrency. The amendments in this update are effective upon issuance. The adoption of this ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); and ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The SEC Staff has emphasized ondid not
have a number of occasions, including the December 2016 AICPA National Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the requirements to disclose the potential material effects of newly issued standards and the importance of providing investors with this information. Such disclosures should explain the impact the new standard is expected to haveeffect on the Company’s financial statements and how the adoptionposition, result of the new standard will affect comparability. Entities should discuss both quantitative and qualitative information as available when assessing implementation of a new standard. This ASU was effective immediately for public business entities.operations or cash flows.

ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill2018-03, Technical Corrections and Other (Topic 350)Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentRecognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued to clarify certain aspects of the guidance on recognizing and measuring financial assets and liabilities in orderASU 2016-01:
Clarification regarding the ability to simplifydiscontinue application of the subsequent measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value
Clarification of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Undermeasurement date for fair value adjustments to the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparingcarrying amount of equity securities without a readily determinable fair value for which the measurement alternative is elected
Clarification of the unit of account for fair value adjustments to forward contracts and purchased options on equity securities without a readily determinable fair value for which the measurement alternative is expected to be elected
Presentation requirements for certain hybrid financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected
Measurement of financial liabilities denominated in a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will then recognize an impairment chargeforeign currency for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-04 to have an impact on its goodwill impairment tests.

ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities was issued in response to diversity in practice in the amortization period for premiums of callable debt securities and in how the potential for exercise of a call is factored into current impairment assessments. As such, these amendments reduce the amortization period for certain callable debt securities carried at a premium and require the premium to be amortized over the period not to exceed the earliest call date. These amendments do not apply to securities carried at a discount. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently amortizing premiums of callable debt securities over a period through the earliest call date. As a result, it does not expect ASU 2017-08 to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 350): Scope of Modification Accounting was issued in response to diversity in practice when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment

award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following conditions are met:
The fair value (or intrinsic or calculatedoption is elected
Transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value if elected) of the modified award is the same as the value of the original award immediately before the original award was modified.
The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017 and June 15, 2018 are not required to adopt the amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on oruntil interim periods beginning after the adoption date.June 15, 2018. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.


Adoption of New Accounting Standards ASU 2017-12, Derivatives2016-01, Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging ActivitiesMeasurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued in January 2016 to better align a company'saddress certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This standard impacts how the Company measures certain equity investments and discloses and presents certain financial instruments through the application of the “exit price” notion. The Company adopted the amendments beginning January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, equity investments can no longer be classified as trading or available for sale (AFS), and related unrealized holding gains and losses can no longer be recognized in OCI. Per the ASU, such equity investments should be measured at fair value, with adjustments recognized in earnings at the end of each reporting for hedging activitiesperiod. As such, the Company reclassified its portfolio of equity investments previously classified as AFS investment securities to “other investments.” As these equity investments were previously measured at fair value, implementation of the ASU did not impact the Company’s valuation method. In accordance with the economic objectives of those activities. The effective date of this Update isASU, the cumulative-effect adjustment from AOCI to retained earnings for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with earlypreviously recorded fair value adjustments related to these equity investments at adoption including adoption in an interim period, permitted.was immaterial. The Company planselected the practical expedient measurement alternative to adopt ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition methodprospectively account for other equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effectorderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the changesame issuer. The investments are immaterial overall and are classified within “other investments” on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in theCompany’s consolidated balance sheetsheets rather than as of the date of adoption. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.available-for-sale securities.

Accounting Changes, ReclassificationsIn May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which created a new principle-based framework to determine when and Restatements Certain itemshow an entity recognizes revenue from its customer contracts. FASB has established a core principle for recognizing revenue within the new rules, which states that revenue should only be recorded when services are provided or goods are transferred to customers at the agreed price. The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC Topic 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. Description of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, which are presented in prior financialour income statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. as components of non-interest income are as follows:

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the provisionsService charges on deposits - We collect service charges on most of ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. ASU 2016-09 requires that all income tax effects associated with share-based payment awards be reported in earnings as an adjustment to income tax expense. Previously, excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments awards were recorded in additional paid-in-capital when the excess tax benefits were realized. The requirement to report those income tax effects in earnings has been applied to settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2017. ASU 2016-09 also requires that all income tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Previously, income tax benefits at settlement of an award were reported as a reduction to operating cash flows and an increase to financing cash flows to the extent that those benefits exceeded the income tax benefits reported in earnings during the award's vesting period. The Company has elected to apply that change in cash flow classificationour non-maturity deposits accounts on a retrospective basis,monthly basis. Our fee earned is collected monthly when a particular cycle for a non-maturity deposit account closes. Each cycle is monthly and the fee earned is for our service for the month just closed. Our performance obligations are to process transactions, pay interest (on interest-bearing accounts), collect deposits, and allow access to on-line banking applications and other services ancillary to a banking relationship. Each month when our fee is charged, our obligation is complete. The contract-relationship is a month to month obligation - i.e. our obligation to perform these services would end if the customer closes their deposit account with MidSouth.
ATM and debit card income - ATM fees primarily consist of surcharges assessed to our customers for using a non-Bank ATM or a non-Bank customer using our ATM. Debit card income represents revenues earned from interchange fees, which resulted inare earned on debit card transactions conducted with payment networks. Such fees are generally recognized concurrently with the delivery of services on a $258,000 increase to net cash from operating activities and a corresponding decrease to net cash from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for 2016, as compared to the amounts previously reported.daily basis.

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.  ForEffective January 1, 2018, equity securities management reviewswith readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in the near term prospects of the issuer, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and duration of the impairments and other factors when determining if an unrealized loss is other than temporary. If a credit loss is evident, the amount of the credit loss is charged to earnings and the non-credit related impairment isfair value recognized through other comprehensivenet income.
 
As of September 30, 2017, 512018, 124 securities had unrealized losses totaling 1.29%3.50% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 0.65%2.94% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis.  Of the 51124 securities, 1860 had been in an unrealized loss position for over twelve months at September 30, 2017.2018.  These 1860 securities had an amortized cost basis and unrealized loss of $59.0$223.2 million and $1.2$10.9 million, respectively.  The unrealized losses on debt securities at September 30, 20172018 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 September 30, 2017,2018, 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 September 30, 2017.2018.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold 1 security classified as available-for-sale for $410,000 which resulted in neither a gain nor a loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold 16 securities classified as available-for-sale and 1 security classified as held-to-maturity. Of the available-for-sale securities, 13 securities were sold with gains totaling $449,000 and 3 securities were sold at a loss of $109,000 for a net gain of $340,000. The decision to sell the 1 held-to-maturity security, which was sold at a gain of $7,000, was based on the pre-refunding of the bond which would accelerate the maturity of the bond by 15 years with an anticipated call date within six months. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company sold 2 securities classified as available-for-sale at a gross gain of $20,000.  


Securities with an aggregatea carrying value of approximately $236.3$189.4 million and $293.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledgedserve as collateral to secure public funds on depositdeposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes required or permitted by law.law at September 30, 2018, compared with $189.0 million at December 31, 2017.

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 September 30, 2017,2018, 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 $197.8$128.1 million, or 16.0%13.3% of total loans.  Additionally, the Company’s exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate is monitored.  At September 30, 2017,2018, loans secured by commercial real estate (including commercial construction, farmland and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $537.9$484.9 million, 56%or 45.5% of total loans, of which 52% are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Of the $537.9$484.9 million in loans secured by commercial real estate, $20.5$24.1 million, or 3.8%5.0%, were on nonaccrual status at September 30, 2017.2018.
 
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 three to five years, 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-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. Additionally, the Company utilizes the services of a third party to supplement its loan review efforts.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans
 
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments 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 $2.6$5.0 million and $2.5$2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.  Interest actually received on non-accrual loans subsequent to their transfer to non-accrual status totaled $201,000$253,000 and $128,000$201,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, 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.  All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance above a specified threshold are evaluated for potential impairment. All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance below the specified threshold are assigned an allowance allocation percentage that is determined by management and adjusted periodically based on certain factors. 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 collaterallycollateral 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. 

The following table presents loans that are individually evaluated for impairment (in thousands). Interest income recognized represents interest on accruing loans modified in a TDR.troubled debt restructuring (TDR).

Credit Quality
 
The Company manages credit risk by observing written underwriting standards and the 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 are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to serve their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, current economic trends, and other factors. Loans are analyzed individually and classified according to their credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Weakness exists that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, and questionable management capabilities. Collateral values generally afford adequate coverage but may not be immediately marketable.

Substandard: Specific and well-defined weaknesses exist that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial ratios. Currently the borrower maintains the capacity to service the debt. The loan may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.


Doubtful: Specific weaknesses characterized as Substandard exist that are severe enough to make collection in full unlikely. There is no reliable secondary source of full repayment. Loans classified as Doubtful will usually be placed on non-accrual status. The probability of some loss is extremely high but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.


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

5. DerivativesNOTE 5: DERIVATIVES

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into two forward interest rate swap contracts on a reverse repurchase agreement and long-term FHLB advances. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as derivative instruments in a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging to convert forecasted variable interest payment to a fixed rate and the Company has concluded that the forecasted transactions are probable of occurring. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss related to the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.


No ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. The accumulated net after-tax income related to the effective cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income is reflected in Note 6 - Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

8. Fair Value MeasurementNOTE 8: 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 uponObservable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as 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 techniquesUnobservable inputs that use at least oneare supported by little or no market activity and that are significant assumption not observable into the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimatesfair value of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assetassets or liability.  Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.liabilities. 

Following is a descriptionThe following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of valuation methodologies used forits assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value.value and for estimating the fair value of its financial instruments.
 
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 ofapproximates fair value.
 

Securities Available-for-SaleSecurities available-for-saleFair value of securities available for sale is determined by various valuation methodologies. Where quoted market prices are recorded atavailable in active markets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based uponhierarchy. If quoted prices, if available.  If quotedmarket prices are not available , then fair values are measuredestimated by using independent pricing models, quoted prices of securities within similar characteristics, or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of futurediscounted cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.flows. Level 12 securities include those traded oncertain U.S. agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and debt obligations, and municipal securities. The Level 2 fair value pricing is provided by an independent third party and is based upon similar securities in an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealersmarket. In certain cases where Level1 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. Agencynot available, 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.classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
 
Securities Held-to-Maturity—The fair value of securities held-to-maturity is estimated usingdetermined in the same measurement techniquesmanner as securities available-for-sale.available-for-sale noted above.
 
Other InvestmentsThe carrying valueFHLB and FRB stock are examples of other investments and do not have readily determinable fair values, as such these investments are carried at original cost basis. It is a reasonable estimatenot practical to determine the fair values of these investments due to restrictions placed on transferability. These investments are periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value or cost basis. The cost basis approximates fair value.value for these investments.
 
LoansFor disclosure purposes,The fair value for loans held for investment is estimated using an exit price methodology. An exit price methodology considers expected cash flows that take into account contractual loan terms, as applicable, prepayment expectations, probability of default, loss severity in the event of default, recovery lag and, in the case of variable rate loans, expectations for future interest rate movements. These cash flows are present valued at a risk adjusted discount rate, which considers the cost of funding, liquidity, servicing costs, and other factors. Because observable quoted prices seldom exist for identical or similar assets carried in loans held for investment, Level 3 inputs are primarily used to determine fair value exit pricing. The fair value of fixed rateimpaired loans is estimated by discounting the futurebased on discounted contractual cash flows usingor underlying collateral values, where applicable. A loan is determined to be impaired if the current rates at which similarCompany believes it is probable that all principal and interest amounts due according to the terms of the note will not be collected as scheduled. The fair value of impaired loans would be madeis determined in accordance with ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and generally results in a specific reserve established through a charge to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  For variable ratethe provision for loan losses. Losses on impaired loans are charged to the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. Management has determined that the majority of impaired loans are Level 3 assets due to the extensive use of market appraisals.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimatevalue of cash value of bank owned life insurance approximates fair value.

Other Real Estate OwnedThe fair value of OREO is determined using certified appraisals and internal evaluations that value the property at its highest and best uses by applying traditional valuation methods common to the industry. 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 impairedhold any OREO for profit purposes 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 toall other real estate and annually thereafteris actively marketed for sale. In most cases, management has determined that additional write-downs are required beyond what is calculable from the appraisal to insure other real estate assets are carriedcarry the property 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 valuelevels that would attract buyers. Because this additional write-down 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 isnot based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the OREinputs, management has determined that OREO should be classified 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.

Assets Held For SaleAssetsThe fair value of assets held for sale are carried atis determined in the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon appraised values.
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.same manner as OREO noted above.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis, performed by an independent third party, reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the derivatives is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are determined bybased on an independent valuation firm and are estimated using pricesexpectation of financial instruments with similar characteristics. As a result, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.future interest rates (forward curves derived from observable market interest rate curves).
 

Deposits—The fair valuecarrying amount of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts,deposits and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.variable-rate certificates of deposit approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed maturityfixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the futurebased on discounted contractual cash flows using theinterest rates currently being offered for depositscertificates 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 valueamount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase due to their short-term nature.approximates fair value and is classified as Level 1. The carrying amount of variable rate other borrowings approximates fair value and is classified as Level 1. The fair value of fixed rate other borrowings is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements and is classified as Level 2.

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 AdvancesOther borrowings—The fair value of long-term FHLB advancesthe Company’s trust preferred securities is estimated using abased on discounted cash flow analysis that applies interestflows using rates currently being offered on similar types of borrowingsfor securities with similar terms.terms and remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2.

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 GuaranteesOff Balance Sheet-Instruments—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.

The Company records impaired loans at fair value, measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs and other collateral-based discounts. Other real estate properties are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs, information from comparable sales and marketability of the property. Assets held for sale are considered level 2 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties.

Limitations
FairThe carrying amount and estimated 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 subjectivenot shown elsewhere 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 sheetthese financial instruments without attemptingstatements, were as follows. The methods used to estimate the fair value of anticipated future business andfinancial instruments at December 31, 2017 approximated an entry price. In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the methods utilized to estimate the fair 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 realizationat June 30, 2018 represent an approximation of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been consideredexit price; however, an actual price derived in the estimates.an active market may differ.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Certain critical accounting policies affect the moreThere have been no significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the noteschanges 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 relatesfrom those disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The reader should refer to the valuationnotes to our consolidated financial statements in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full disclosure 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 thirdall 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.policies.

The third quarter of 2017 included non-operating expenses totaling $903,000 which consisted of a one-time chargeincrease is related to consulting and outsourcing costs for assistance with addressing and complying with the closureterms of 7 branches. Excluding these non-operating expenses, non-interest expense decreased $258,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of decreases of $192,000 in occupancy expense, $206,000 in corporate development, $185,000 in salaries and benefits costs, $140,000 in marketing costs and $110,000 in printing and supplies,which were partially offset by an $888,000 increase in legalthe written regulatory order.

Legal and professional fees increased $2.0 million and a $113,000 increase in data processing costs. Several other smaller decreases in other non-interest expense categories contributed to the overall decrease from the third quarter of 2016. A reclass of certain hosted services subscriptions from corporate development into data processing at the beginning of 2017 caused the fluctuations in those two expense categories. Excluding non-operating expenses of $3.3 million for the firstthree and nine months of 2017, noninterest expenses increased $400,000ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from the same periods in year-over-year comparison and consisted2017. The increase is primarily of a $442,000related to an increase in salaries and benefits costs, a $1.4 million increase inservices, both legal and professional, feeswhich are also a direct result of management's initiative to address and comply with the terms of the written regulatory order.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $87,000 and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from the same periods in 2017. Salaries and employee benefits expense has continued to decline period over period due to efficiencies in the employee base and a $465,000 increasereduction of employees due to branch closures and divestitures.

Occupancy expense decreased $634,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from the same period in data processing costs, which were partially offset by decreases of $405,0002017. The decrease in occupancy expense $330,000 in marketing costs, $391,000 in corporate development, $322,000 in ATM/debit card expense, $203,000 in printing and supplies and $144,000 in expenses on ORE.is related to ongoing efficiency impacts related to prior period branch closures.

Operating salaries and employee benefits costs increased $442,000 in year-to-date comparison and included a $61,000 increase in salary costs and a $356,000 increase in group health costs. The $61,000 increase in salary costs included $119,000 in sign-on bonuses related to hiring new talent for the Company.Balance Sheet Review

The increase in legal and professional fees is primarily due to increased outsourcing expenses to enhance risk management as well as to address the provisions of our written agreement with the OCC.

ATM and debit card expense decreased $322,000 in year-to-date comparison and was primarily driven by a $256,000 decrease in losses on ATM/debit card processing. In addition, we changed processors during the first quarter of 2017 which resulted in lower processing costs.

A reclass of certain hosted services subscriptions from corporate development into data processing at the beginning of 2017 caused the fluctuations in those two expense categories for the quarters and years-to-date endedAt September 30, 20172018, we had total assets of approximately $1.8 billion, consisting principally of $0.9 billion in net loans, $417.5 million in investment securities and June 30, 2016.

At December 31, 2016.  Deposits decreased $23.5 million from year-end 2016.  The decrease2017, we had total assets of approximately $1.9 billion, consisting principally of $1.2 billion in deposits is primarily attributable to a $28.7 million decrease in a lawsuit settlement account as claims have been paid out since year-end 2016. Excluding the lawsuit settlement account, we also had a decrease of $35.6net loans, $390.2 million in other coreinvestment securities and $153.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our liabilities at December 31, 2017 totaled $1.6 billion, consisting primarily of $1.5 billion in deposits. These decreases to deposits were partially offset by a $45.8At December 31, 2017, our shareholders' equity was $0.3 billion.

Investment securities totaled $417.5 million, increase in brokered certificatesor 22.9% of deposits. Our stable core deposit base, which excludes time deposits, totaled $1.4 billiontotal assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and accounted for 87.5%2018, versus $390.2 million, or 20.7% of deposits compared to 90.4% of deposits, respectively.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $326.2 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $15.7 million from December 31, 2016.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased $14.5 million, from $98.2 milliontotal assets at December 31, 2016 to $83.7 million at September 30, 2017.

Total loans decreased $48.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of our accelerated efforts to address nonperforming loans, which resulted in the high level of charge-offs and pay-offs during 2017.2018.

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 September 30, 2017,2018, 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 available through four sources: a stable base of funding sources, an adequate level of assets that can be readily converted into cash, borrowing lines with correspondent banks and brokered deposits. 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 $17.6$19.2 million in projected cash flows from securities repayments for the remainder of 20172018 provides an additional source of liquidity.
 
The Bank also has significant borrowing capacity with the FRB-Atlanta and with the FHLB–Dallas.  As of September 30, 2017,2018, we had no borrowings with the FRB-Atlanta. Long-term FHLB-DallasFHLB advances totaled $25.1$27.5 million at September 30, 20172018 and are fixed rateconsisted of two advances with rates ranging from 1.99% to 3.49% and have a range of maturities from December 2017 to January 2019.  One short-term FHLB-Dallas advance totaled $12.5 million at September 30, 2017. The advance matures in October 2017 and bears an interest rate of 1.39%.on existing swap contracts. Under existing agreements with the FHLB-Dallas, our borrowing capacity totaled $219.6$289.9 million at September 30, 2017.2018.  The Bank has the ability to post additional collateral of approximately $171.5$227.4 million if necessary to meet liquidity needs.  Additionally, $178.9$138.6 million in loan collateral is pledged under a Borrower-in-Custody line with the FRB-Atlanta. Unsecured borrowing lines totaling $53.5$30.0 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 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 9.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2017.2018.
 
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 September 30, 2017,2018, there were 89,87589,725 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$90,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2018.
 
On June 13, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 4,583,334 shares of its common stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering, and on July 11, 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 516,700 shares of common stock, pursuant to the partial exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriter. After deducting the underwriting discount and costs associated with the capital raise, the offering resulted in net proceeds of $57.2 million. The Company, subject to regulatory approval, intends to use $32.0 million of the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as a result of its participation in the SBLF and have commenced discussions with our regulators to obtain approval to do so.SBLF. The Company intends to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds to enhance its capital structure, to fund future organic growth, for working capital, and other general corporate purposes.

Dividends from the Bank totaling $4.0 million provided additional liquidity prior to the capital raise for the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Due to the $3.7 million loss reported for the nine monthsyear ended September 30,December 31, 2017, we currently

do not have the ability to approve dividends from the Bank to the Company without prior approval from the OCC.  As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company had $61.5$46.5 million of cash to fund general corporate obligations. The Company also renewed a $75.0$100.0 million Universal Shelf Registration during the third quarter of 2015 and has $13.8 million remaining after completion of its recent capital raise and overallotment issuance.2018.
 

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 September 30, 2017,2018, 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 (total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets) 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%. However, in connection with its most recent examination, effective July 19, 2017, the OCC established higher individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank. Specifically, the Bank must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.94% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.40% at September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.84%12.53%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.01%19.09%, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 18.27%20.35% and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.68%13.78%The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.64% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.04% at September 30, 2017.
 
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 as well as management of classified and criticized assets for the Bank.  The role of the CCO includes on-going review and development of lending policies, commercial credit analysis, centralized consumer underwriting, 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.
 
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 September 30, 2017,2018, 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 $197.8$128.1 million, or 16.0%13.3% of total loans.  Of the 337265 credit relationships in the energy-related loan portfolio, 3835 relationships totaling $83.4$37.6 million were classified with $27.8$24.3 million on nonaccrual status at September 30, 2017.2018.
 
Additionally, weThe federal banking agencies, including the OCC, have promulgated guidance governing financial institutions with concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The guidance provides that a bank has a concentration in commercial real estate lending if (1) total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or more of total capital or (2) total reported loans secured by multifamily and non-farm residential properties and loans for construction, land development and other land represent 300% or more of total capital. Owner occupied loans are excluded from this second category. We monitor our exposure to CRE loans.each of these segments to ensure the concentration in consistent with our risk tolerance.  At September 30, 2017, CRE2018, loans (including commercialfor construction, land development and multifamily loans)other land totaled approximately $537.9$90.4 million, 56%or 46.9% of which areour bank's risk-based capital. Loans secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Our non-owner occupied CREmultifamily and non-farm residential properties and loans as a percentage of our risk-based capitalfor construction, land development and other land totaled 90%approximately $295.8 million at September 30, 2017.

Nonperforming assets totaled $53.9$52.5 million at September 30, 2017,2018, a decrease of $11.1$4.8 million and $1.4 million from the $65.0 million reported at year-end 2016December 31, 2017 and a decrease of $10.2 million from the $64.1 million reported at September 30, 2016.2017 reported amounts, respectively.  The decrease since December 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to the payoffs/paydowns of $38.1 million of non-accrual loans and the charge-off of $16.5 million of non-accrual loans. These decreases were partially offset by $43.3$46.1 million of loans placed on non-accrual during the year. Theperiod. This increase was partially offset by the payoffs/paydowns of $20.7 million of non-accrual loans and the decrease of $4.3 million in non-performing assets reflects our previously announced transition plans that include a more aggressive approach to addressing asset quality.nonperforming loans held for sale.
 
Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans was 47.49% at September 30, 2018 compared to 53.77% at December 31, 2017 and 48.47% at September 30, 2017 compared to 38.78% at December 31, 2016 and 37.84% at September 30, 2016.2017.  The ALL/total loans ratio increased to 2.03%was 2.54% at September 30, 2017,2018, compared to 1.90%2.27% at year-end 20162017 and 1.83% at September 30, 2016.  Including valuation accounting adjustments on acquired loans, the total adjustments and ALL was 2.13% of loans2.03% at September 30, 2017.  The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total loans increasedwas 1.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 2.94% for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and 1.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 0.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, and 0.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2017.
 
Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed decreasedincreased to 5.45% at September 30, 2018 from 4.83% at December 31, 2017 and 4.35% at September 30, 2017 from 5.06% at December 31, 2016 and 5.03% at September 30, 2016.2017.  Performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $0.9 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2017 and $1.6 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $152,000 at December 31, 2016 and $153,000 at September 30, 2016.2017.  Classified assets, including ORE, were $139.7$91.4 million at September 30, 20172018 compared to $134.2$118.2 million at December 31, 2016.2017. 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 $25.1$24.5 million in the ALL as of September 30, 20172018 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 98 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” and, “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 earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items.
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.

Part II – Other Information
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
 
The Bank has been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising from normal business activities in which damages of various amounts are claimed.  While the amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be currently determined, management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  However, in the event of unexpected future developments in these matters, if the ultimate resolution of any such matter is unfavorable, the result may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.
 
Item 1A.    Risk Factors.
 
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued a Consent Order with respect to our Bank is in “troubled condition” and has entered into a formal agreement with the OCC, which subjects us to significant restrictions and will require us to designate a significant amount of resourcesSecrecy Act compliance. Failure to comply with the agreement.
On June 8, 2017, the Bank was informed by the OCC that the OCC has determined that the Bank isConsent Order could result in “troubled condition” for purposes of 12 C.F.R. 5.51, Changes in Directors and Senior Executive Officers, which implements the provisions of Section 914 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, 12 U.S.C. 1831i, and, as a result, the Bank is subject to specified restrictions on its operations. The OCC’s determination was based on deficiencies identified in its examination of the Bank, including but not limited to deficiencies in asset quality, credit administration and strategic planning. Based on the troubled condition determination, the Bank is now subject to the following restrictions on its operations:  (1) the Bank must seek approval from the OCC prior to adding or replacing a member of its board of directors, or employing or promoting any existing employee as a senior executive officer, and (2) the Bank may not, except under certain circumstances, enter into any agreements to make severance or indemnification payments or make any such payments to “institution-affiliated parties” as defined in the regulations.

On July 19, 2017, the Bank entered into a formal written agreement with the OCC (the “Agreement”) that provides, among other things, that the Bank: (i) create a committee to monitor the Bank’s compliance with the Agreement and make quarterly reports to the Board of Directors and the OCC; (ii) adopt and implement a three-year strategic plan for the Bank consistent withadditional regulatory guidance and to be reviewed and updated on at least an annual basis by the Board of Directors; (iii) protect its interests in its criticized assets (those assets classified as “doubtful,” “substandard,” or “special mention” by internal or external loan review or examination), and adopt and implement a written program designed to eliminate the basis of criticism of criticized assets equal to or exceeding $250,000, which shall be reviewed and, as necessary, revised, on a quarterly basis; (iv) may not extend additional credit to any borrower with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $250,000 that is a criticized asset unless approved and deemed by the Bank's Board of Directors to be necessary to promote the best interests of the Bank and will not compromise the Bank's written program with respect to such loans; (v) develop and implement a written program to improve the Bank's loan portfolio management and provide the Board of Directors with written reports on the Bank's loan portfolio to enhance problem loan identification; (vi) review and, as necessary, revise the Bank's loan review program to ensure the timely identification and categorization of problem credits consistent with regulatory guidance; (vii) adopt and implement certain enhancements to its policies and procedures relating to its ALLL and the methodology related thereto; and (viii) revise its internal audit program to ensure Bank adherence to an independent and comprehensive internal audit program. The Company may also become subject to formal or informal enforcement actions by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

While subject to the Agreement, we expect that our management and Board of Directors will be required to focus considerable time and attention on taking corrective actions to comply with its terms. We may also hire third party consultants and advisors to assist us in complying with the Agreement, which could increase our non-interest expense and reduce our earnings.action.
