NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park National Corporation (sometimes also referred to as the “Registrant”) and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Park", the "Corporation" or the "Company" and similar terms mean Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.2019.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of comprehensive income, condensed statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20172018 from Park’s 20172018 Annual Report to Shareholders (“Park's 20172018 Annual Report”). Prior period financial statement reflect the retrospective application of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-07 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This change in classification had no effect on reported net income.
 
Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park��s 2017Park’s 2018 Annual Report. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period.
 
Note 2 - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards


The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements impacting Park's consolidated financial statements, and issued but not yet effective accounting standards:


Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements


ASU 2014-092016-02 - Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 606)842):In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2016-02 - Leases (Topic 606). This ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The majority of the Company's revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities and derivatives, that are outside the scope of ASC 606. Certain services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within Other Income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include income from fiduciary activities, service charges on deposit accounts, other service income, checkcard fee income, ATM fees, and gain on sale of OREO, net. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on Park's consolidated financial statements. However, the adoption of this standard resulted in additional disclosures beginning with the first quarter 2018 Form 10-Q. Reference Note 19, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

ASU 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Changes reflected in the current U.S. GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, this ASU clarifies guidance related to the

valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") securities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 resulted in an $1.9 million increase to beginning retained earnings and a $995,000 increase to beginning accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additional income of $3.2 million and $1.3 million was recorded in the first and second quarters of 2018, respectively, as a result of changes to the accounting for equity investments. Further, beginning with the first quarter of 2018, Park's fair value disclosures in Note 14, Fair Value, have incorporated the revised disclosure requirements for financial investments.

ASU 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 203): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force):  In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 203): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)842). This ASU provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues where then current GAAP was either unclear or did not include specific guidance. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 did not have an impact on Park's consolidated financial statements. As such transactions arise, management will utilize the updated guidance in providing disclosures within Park’s consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. 

ASU 2017-07 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost: In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. As a result of the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018, all prior periods have been recast to separately record the service cost component and other components of net benefit cost. For all periods presented, this resulted in an increase in other income and an offsetting increase in other expense with no change to net income. See Note 12, Benefit Plans, for further details.

ASU 2017-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting: In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU amends the guidance concerning which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 did not impact Park's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU amends the current guidance with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, this ASU amends the current guidance to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual periods. The early adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2018 did not have an impact on Park's consolidated financial statements. Park will apply this guidance to future transactions.

ASU 2018-02 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 -Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects, resulting from the newly - enacted federal corporate income tax rate. The amount of the reclassification is the difference between the historical federal corporate income tax rate and the newly-enacted 21% federal corporate income tax rate. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual periods. The early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2018 resulted in a $3.8 million increase to Park's accumulated other comprehensive loss and a $3.8 million increase to retained earnings.

ASU 2018-03 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and

Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This ASU includes amendments that clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. Park considered this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-01 effective as of January 1, 2018.

Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842): In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842). This ASU will require all organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be required so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently analyzing data on leased assets. The adoption of this guidance is expected toon January 1, 2019 resulted in a $11.0 million increase bothin assets, a $11.2 million increase in liabilities and liabilities,a $143,000 decrease in beginning retained earnings, but isdid not expected to have a material impact on Park's consolidated statement of income. Additionally, Note 13 - Leases includes new required disclosures.

ASU 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities: In March 2017, the FASB issuedASU 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. It shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under previous U.S. GAAP, premiums on callable debt securities generally were amortized to the maturity date. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on Park's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-10 - Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases: In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 - Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This ASU includes amendments that clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. Park considered this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements: In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This ASU amends the guidance in ASU 2016-02 which was not yet effective. The amendments in the ASU provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this

new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the period of adoption. Additionally, this amendment provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if certain criteria are met. Park considered this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2018-16 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes: In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government ("UST"), the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have an impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-20 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Scope Improvements for Lessors: In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Scope Improvements for Lessors. The amendments in this ASU address the treatment of certain sales taxes and other similar taxes, certain lessor costs and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and nonlease components. Park considered this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2019-01 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Codification Improvements: In January 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 - Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU address determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the presentation on the statement of cash flows for sales type and direct financing leases, and transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Park considered this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments: In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. The CECL model requires an entity to estimate credit losses over the life of an asset or off-balance sheet exposure. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.


Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Park's consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that the adoption of the CECL model will result in a material increase to Park's allowance for loan losses. Management has established a committee to oversee the implementation of the CECL model and is currently in the process of implementing a software solutionevaluating segmentation and model selection.

ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to assistthe Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in implementing theTopic 820, Fair Value Measurement by removing, modifying and adding certain requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. Management plansAn entity is permitted to run our current allowance modelearly adopt and a CECL model concurrently for 12 months prior toremove or modify disclosures upon issuance of the ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on January 1, 2020.Park’s consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.


ASU 2017-082018-14 - ReceivablesCompensation - Nonrefundable Fees and Other CostsRetirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 310-20)715-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities:Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans: In March 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-082018-14 - ReceivablesCompensation - Nonrefundable Fees and Other CostsRetirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 310-20)715-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. It shortens the amortization period for the premiumDisclosure Framework - Changes to the earliest call date. Under current U.S. GAAP, premiumsDisclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on callable debt securities generallyPark’s consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

ASU 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The amendment in this ASU clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are amortized tonot within the maturity date. The new guidance isscope of Subtopic 326-20. Impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. Park will consider this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-13, effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.

Note 3 - Business Combinations

On July 1, 2018, NewDominion Bank, a North Carolina state-chartered bank (“NewDominion”), merged with and into The Park National Bank, the national bank subsidiary of Park ("PNB"), with PNB continuing as the surviving entity pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 22, 2018, by and among Park, PNB, and NewDominion. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, NewDominion shareholders were permitted to make an election to receive for their shares of NewDominion common stock either $1.08 in cash without interest (the cash consideration) or 0.01023 of a Park common share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional Park common share (the stock consideration). Based on the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid in the merger was subject to proration and allocation procedures to ensure that 60 percent of the shares of NewDominion common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger were exchanged for the stock consideration and that the remaining 40 percent of the shares of NewDominion common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger were exchanged for the cash consideration, including, in each case, shares of NewDominion common stock subject to NewDominion options and restricted stock awards.

Purchase consideration consisted of 435,457 Park common shares, valued at $48.5 million, and $30.7 million in cash to acquire 91.45% of NewDominion outstanding common shares. The remaining 8.55% of NewDominion's outstanding common shares was previously held by Park. Park recognized a gain of $3.5 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value its 8.55% equity interest in NewDominion held before the business combination. This non-taxable gain is included in "Gain on equity securities, net" in the consolidated condensed statements of income. The acquisition is expected to provide additional revenue growth and geographic diversification.

NewDominion's results of operations were included in Park’s results beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual periods.For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Park recorded merger-related expenses of $71,000 and $169,000, respectively, associated with the NewDominion acquisition.

Goodwill of $40.4 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of the PNB and NewDominion. The adoption of this guidancegoodwill is not expected to havedeductible for income tax purposes as the transaction was accounted for as a material impact on Park's consolidated financial statements.tax-free exchange.

Park accounted for the NewDominion acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to loans that were individually evaluated for impairment and those collectively evaluated for impairment,not considered impaired as of June 30, 2018the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, Park believes that all contractual cash flows related to these loans will be collected.  As such, these loans were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and December 31, 2017.were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  Loans acquired that were not subject to these requirements included non-impaired loans with a fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of $267.9 million and $273.7 million, respectively, on the date of acquisition.

Credit Quality IndicatorsNote 4 – Investment Securities
 
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information asThe amortized cost and fair value of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is includedinvestment securities are shown in the tables above. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classestables. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicatorinvestment securities for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades commercial loans on a scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of Park’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Park will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are placed on nonaccrual status and included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.
The tables below present the recorded investment by loan grade at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 for all commercial loans:

Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. A court's discharge of a borrower's debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is considered a concession when the borrower does not reaffirm the discharged debt.

Certain loans which were modified duringother-than-temporary impairment. For the three-month periods ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no investment securities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Management does not believe any of the unrealized/unrecognized losses at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 represented other-than-temporary impairment. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and June 30, 2017 did not meet the definitionresulting loss recognized within net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities consist primarily of 15-year residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in debt securities at March 31, 2019, are shown in the following table by contractual maturity, except for asset-backed securities, which are shown as a single total, due to the unpredictability of the timing of principal repayments.

(1) The tax equivalent yield for obligations of state and political subdivisions includes the effects of a TDR as the modification wastaxable equivalent adjustment using a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.21% federal corporate income tax rate.
 
Quarterly, management reviews renewals/modificationsThere were no sales of loans previously identified as TDRs to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed if the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of the renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered restructurings in a prior year as a result of a renewal/modification with an interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan at the time of the renewal/modification. The TDR classification was removed on $1.9 million of loansinvestment securities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and $2.2 million of loans duringMarch 31, 2019. During the six-monththree-month period ended June 30, 2018. There were no TDR classifications removed during the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

At June 30,March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, there were $23.9 million and $38.5 million, respectively, of TDRs included in the nonaccrual loan totals. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $18.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively, of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, loans Park sold certain AFS debt securities with a recorded investmentbook value of $16.4$245.0 million at a gross loss of $2.6 million and $20.2sold certain AFS debt securities with a book value of $2.0 million, respectively, were included in accruing TDR loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it is appropriate to move certain nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status in the future.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Park had commitments to lend $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at a gross gain of additional funds to borrowers whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.

At both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $0.5 million of specific reserves related to TDRs. Modifications made in 2017 and 2018 were largely the result of renewals and extending the maturity date of the loan at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310. There were no additional specific reserves recorded$60,000. Additionally, during the three-month period ended June 30,March 31, 2018, asPark sold certain HTM debt securities with a resultbook value of TDRs identified in$7.4 million at a gross gain of $291,000. These HTM securities had been paid down by 96.3% of the period. Additional specific reserves of $10,000 were recorded during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 as a result of TDRs identified in the period. Additional specific reserves of $10,000 and $290,000 were recorded during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, as a result of TDRs identified in the respective periods.principal outstanding at acquisition.


The termsInvestment securities having a book value of certain other loans were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Substandard commercial loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment of $0.1$597 million and $0.2$634 million respectively. There were no substandard commercial loans modified during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 which did not meet the definition of a TDR. Substandard commercial loans with a recorded investment of $0.1 million were modified during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 which did not meet the definition of a TDR. The renewal/modification of these loans: (1) resulted in a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant, or (2) resulted in Park obtaining additional collateral or guarantees that improved the likelihood of the ultimate collection of the loans such that each modification was deemed to be at market terms. Consumer loans modified during the three-monthMarch 31, 2019 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment of $4.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively. Consumer loans with a recorded investment of $3.4 million and $5.0 million were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and did not meet the definition of a TDR. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, as well as the recorded investment of these contracts at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does not typically forgive principal.

Note 4 – Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") is that amount management believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2017 Annual Report.

Loss factors are reviewed quarterly and updated at least annually to reflect recent loan loss history and incorporate current risk and trends which may not be recognized in historical data.  The following are factors management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis.

Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2017, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2017.  With the addition of 2017 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 96 months from 84 months. The 96-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.

Loss Emergence Period Factor: At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Loss Migration Factor: Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2017.


Environmental Loss Factor:Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trendtrust department deposits in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterlyfederal and the adjustments madestate requirements, to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. There was no change to the environmental loss factor during the second quarter of 2018.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2017 Annual Report).

The composition of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows:

Management’s general practice is to charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $4.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and $6.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.

The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated for impairment at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is included in the tables above. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades commercial loans on a scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of Park’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Park will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are placed on nonaccrual status and included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

The tables below present the recorded investment by loan grade at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for all commercial loans:

(1) Excludes loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality which are nonaccrual or TDRs due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. These loans had a recorded investment of $475,000 at December 31, 2018.

Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality

In conjunction with the NewDominion acquisition, Park acquired loans with a book value of $277.9 million as of July 1, 2018. These loans were recorded at the initial fair value of $272.8 million.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $5.1 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $4.9 million. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $4.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, while the outstanding customer balance was $4.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no allowance for loan losses had been recognized related to the acquired impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with

the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. A court's discharge of a borrower's debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is considered a concession when the borrower does not reaffirm the discharged debt.

Certain loans which were modified during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 did not meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

Quarterly, management reviews renewals/modifications of loans previously identified as TDRs to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms and the terms of the renewal/modification are considered to be market terms based on the current risk characteristics of the borrower, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed if the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of the renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered restructurings in a prior year as a result of a renewal/modification with an interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan at the time of the renewal/modification. The TDR classification was removed on $23,000 and $324,000 of loans during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $23.7 million and $24.6 million, respectively, of TDRs included in the nonaccrual loan totals. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $18.0 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans with a recorded investment of $15.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, were included in accruing TDR loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it is appropriate to move certain nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status in the future.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had commitments to lend $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $1.3 million and $1.2 million of specific reserves related to TDRs. Modifications made in 2018 and 2019 were largely the result of renewals and extending the maturity date of the loans at terms consistent with the original notes. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310. There were no additional specific reserves recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 as a result of TDRs identified in the period. There were $10,000 of additional specific reserves recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 as a result of TDRs identified in the period.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. There were no substandard commercial loans modified during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 which did not meet the definition of a TDR. Consumer loans modified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment of $7.2 million. Consumer loans with a recorded investment of $6.0 million were modified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and did not meet the definition of a TDR. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.


The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, as well as the recorded investment of these contracts at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does not typically forgive principal.

Of those loans which were modified and determined to be a TDR during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, $0.7 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2018. Of those loans which were modified and determined to be a TDR during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, $0.5 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2017.


The following table presents the recorded investment in loans which were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. For this table, a loan is considered to be in default when it becomes 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The additional allowance for loan loss resulting from the defaults on TDR loans was immaterial.

Note 7 – Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") is that amount management believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2018 Annual Report.

Loss factors are reviewed quarterly and updated at least annually to reflect recent loan loss history and incorporate current risks and trends which may not be recognized in historical data.  The following are factors management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis.

Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2018, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2018.  With the addition of 2018 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 108 months from 96 months. The 108-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.

Loss Emergence Period Factor: At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. The loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Loss Migration Factor: Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing

commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. No change was made to the environmental loss factor during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 is summarized in the following tables.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2018 Annual Report).

Note 13 - Leases

Park is a lessee in several noncancellable operating lease arrangements, primarily for retail branches, administrative and warehouse buildings, ATMs, and certain office equipment within its Ohio, North Carolina, and Kentucky markets. Certain of these leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years. Park’s leases generally do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of Park’s real estate leases, variable payments such as its proportionate share of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective method as of the date of adoption (i.e. January 1, 2019) as permitted by the amendments in ASU 2018-11. As a result, the Company was not required to adjust its comparative period financial information for effects of the other-than-temporary impairmentstandard or make the new required lease disclosures for periods prior to the effective date. Upon adoption of this lease guidance on January 1, 2019, Park recorded an initial right-of-use ("ROU") asset of $11.0 million, a lease liability of $11.8 million, and reclassified an existing deferred rent liability of $0.6 million. The impact to the Company's retained earnings, net of the tax impact, was $143,000.

Management elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Park elected the practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. Additionally, Park has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a cash basis.

Management determines if an arrangement is identified.or contains a lease at contract inception. If an arrangement is determined to be or contain a lease, Park recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.


Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities consistlease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of 15-year residential mortgage-backed securitiesthe unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments related to the lease liability include how management determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term, and (3) lease payments.

ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, management cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, Park utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. Park’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized mortgage obligations.basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. To manage its capital and liquidity needs, Park periodically obtains wholesale funding from the FHLB on an over-collateralized basis. The impact of utilizing an interest rate on an over-collateralized borrowing versus a fully collateralized borrowing is not material. Therefore, the FHLB yield curve was selected by management as a baseline to determine Park’s discount rates for leases.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either Park's option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. If a lease contract contains multiple renewal options, management generally models lease cash flows through the first renewal option unless the contract contains economic incentives or other conditions that increase the likelihood that additional renewals are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, owed over the lease term;
For certain of Park's gross real estate leases, non-lease components such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance; and
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Park's operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are presented in “Other assets" and "Other liabilities", respectively, on Park's consolidated condensed balance sheet. The carrying amount of Park's ROU asset and lease liability at March 31, 2019 was $10.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively. Park's operating lease expense is recorded in "Occupancy expense" on the Company's consolidated condensed statements on income.

Park utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $25.0 million as of March 31, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB advances and were determined to be fully effective during the three months ended March 31, 2018, an equity investment previously carried at cost, with a carrying2019. As such, no amount of $3.5 million, was measured atineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. Park expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.

Previously, the net periodic benefit income/expense related to Park’s Pension and the expense related to the SERP Agreements had been recorded within the "Employee benefits" line item.
During the first quarter of 2018, Park adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement. This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. For all periods presented, this resulted in an increase in other income and an offsetting increase in other expense with no change to net income. As a practical expedient, Park used the amounts disclosed in "Note 12 - Pension Plan" of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements,cash flow hedges included under Item 1 of Part I of Park's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements.

Note 13 – Loan Servicing
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.38 billion at June 30, 2018, $1.37 billion at December 31, 2017 and $1.35 billion at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2018, $2.6 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse, compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2017 and $3.4 million at June 30, 2017. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, management had established reserves of $43,000 and $270,000, respectively, to account for expected losses on loan repurchases.
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, these servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park selected the “amortization method” as permissible within U.S. GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income with respect to the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value. The amortization of MSRs is included within other service income in the consolidated condensed statementsbalance sheets as of income.March 31, 2019.

Note 1416Fair Value
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals in accordance with Park's valuation requirements under its commercial and real estate loan policies.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during either of the three months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).
Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): Mortgage IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis described below:

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral dependent impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated independent valuations are obtained annually for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are three types of appraisals received by the Company: real estate appraisals, income approach appraisals, and lot development loan appraisals. These are discussed below:
Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

Income approach appraisals typically incorporate the annual net operating income of the business divided by an appropriate capitalization rate, as determined by the appraiser. Management generally applies a 15% discount to income approach appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs).

Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.

MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Collateral dependent impaired loans are carried at fair value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation allowance has been established. A new cost basis is established at the time a property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value if a devaluation has been taken to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement.

The expense from credit adjustments related to impaired loans carried at fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The expense from credit adjustments related to impaired loans carried at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

MSRs totaled $10.1 million at June 30, 2018. Of this $10.1 million MSR carrying balance, $0.9 million was recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $0.2 million. The remaining $9.2 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value of the MSRs exceeded cost at June 30, 2018. At December 31, 2017, MSRs totaled $9.7 million. Of this $9.7 million MSR carrying balance, $7.3 million was recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $0.6 million. The remaining $2.4 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value exceeded cost at December 31, 2017. The income related to MSRs carried at fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $77,000 and $41,000, respectively.

Assets Measured at Net Asset Value:

The adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 required Park to evaluate the accounting for equity investments, including those previously held at cost. Under the new guidance, Park determined that its portfolio of equity investments in limited partnerships which provide mezzanine funding ("Partnership Investments") should be valued using the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient in accordance with ASC 820. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018, resulted in a $1.2 million increase to Partnership Investments, which are included within other assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheet, and a $922,000 increase to beginning retained earnings.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Park had Partnerships Investments with a NAV of $9.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Park had $7.1 million and $7.2 million in unfunded commitments related to these Partnership Investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Park had recognized $752,000 in income related to these Partnership Investments.

Note 21 – Fair Value
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to achieveactive and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals in accordance with Park's valuation requirements under its goals associatedcommercial and real estate loan policies.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during either of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).
Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the Community Reinvestment Act.purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): Mortgage IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.

Interest rate swap:The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis described below:

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral dependent impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated independent valuations are obtained annually for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are three types of appraisals received by the Company: real estate appraisals, income approach appraisals, and lot development loan appraisals. These are discussed below:
Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real

estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

Income approach appraisals typically incorporate the annual net operating income of the business divided by an appropriate capitalization rate, as determined by the appraiser. Management generally applies a 15% discount to income approach appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs).

Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.

Other repossessed assets: Other repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of other repossessed assets is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other repossessed assets consisted of aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout. Fair value is based on Aircraft Bluebook and VREF Aircraft Value Reference values based on the model of aircraft and adjustments for flight hours, features and other variables. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Collateral dependent impaired loans are carried at fair value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation allowance has been established. As of March 31, 2019, there were no PCI loans carried at fair value. A new cost basis is established at the time a property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value if a devaluation has been taken to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement.

A description of Park's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:


Income from fiduciary activities (Gross): Park earns fiduciary fee income and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust customers for various fiduciary and investment-related services. These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly and quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of the trust assets.


Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are generally recognized at the end of the month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.


Other service income: Other service income includes income from 1)(1) the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market, 2)(2) incentive income from third-party credit card issuers, and 3)(3) loan customers for various loan-related activities and

services. These fees are generally recognized at a point in time following the completion of a loan sale or related service activity.

CheckcardDebit card fee income: Park earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted primarily through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, net of card network fees, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.


Gain or loss on sale of OREO, net: The Corporation records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of delivery of an executed deed. When Park finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform the buyer's obligation under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 20172018 Annual Report lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Park believes the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and of current economic conditions. However, this evaluation has subjective components requiring material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the expected loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, and estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and current economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses” section within this MD&A for additional discussion.


Other real estate owned (“OREO”), property acquired through foreclosure, is recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value). If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan on the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within other income. Gains or losses not previously recognized, resulting from the sale of OREO, are recognized within other income on the date of sale.
 
U.S. GAAP requires management to establish a fair value hierarchy, which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. U.S. GAAP also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs used to calculate fair value. These are classified as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 3 inputs are those with significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the market for a particular instrument. Some of these inputs could be based on internal models and cash flow analyses. The large majority of Park’s assets whose fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs consists of AFS debt securities. The fair value of these AFS debt securities is obtained largely through the use of matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial services industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific debt securities but rather relying on the debt securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted debt securities. Please see Note 1421 -Fair Value of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on fair value.
 
Management believes that the accounting for goodwill also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the impairment assessment of goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s Ohio-based national bank subsidiary, The Park National Bank (“PNB”) to provide quality, cost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base, the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Park’s most recent evaluation was completed during the second quarter of 2018 and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. Further, there have been no events subsequent to that analysis that provide any evidence that goodwill is impaired. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry comparable information.


The determination of pension plan obligations and related expenses requires the use of assumptions to estimate the amount of benefits that employees will earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Annual pension expense is principally based on four components: (1) the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year (service cost), (2) the increase in the liability due to the passage of time (interest cost), and (3) other gains and losses, reduced by (4) the expected return on plan assets for our pension plan.



Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension expense include:


the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);
certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality;
the expected return on assets in our funded pension plan; and
for pension expense, the rate of salary increases where benefits are based on earnings.


Our assumptions reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations. Due to the significant management judgment involved, our assumptions could have a material impact on the measurement of our pension plan expense and obligation. 

Comparison of Results of Operations
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017
 
Summary Discussion of Results


Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $28.2$25.5 million, compared to $19.0$31.1 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.83$1.62 for the secondfirst quarter of 2018,2019, compared to $1.24$2.02 for the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,417,607 for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 15,398,865 weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2017.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $59.4 million, compared to $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Diluted earnings per common share were $3.8515,744,777 for the first six monthsquarter of 2018,2019, compared to $2.55 for the first six months of 2017. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,424,585 for the first six months of 2018, compared to 15,415,76515,431,328 weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the first six months of 2017.

During the first quarter of 2018, Park adopted ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period.  The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost.  This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  As a result of the adoption of this ASU, all prior periods have been recast to separately record the service cost component and other components of net benefit cost.  For Park, this resulted in an increase in other income and an offsetting increase in other expense with no change to net income.2018.

During the first quarter of 2018, Park adopted ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Changes reflected in the current U.S. GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, Park recorded an increase of $1.9 million to beginning retained earnings and a $995,000 increase to beginning accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additional income of $3.2 million and $1.3 million was recorded in other income in the first and second quarters of 2018, respectively, as the result of changes to the accounting for equity investments.

Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses


The provision for (recovery of) loan losses is the amount added to the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") to ensure the allowance is sufficient to absorb probable, incurred credit losses. The amount of the provision for (recovery of) loan losses is determined by management after reviewing the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, historic and current loan loss experience and current economic conditions.



Park's Ohio-based subsidiaries, PNB and GFSC, are the only subsidiaries that carry an ALLL balance. The table below provides additional information on the provision for (recovery of) loan losses and the ALLL for Park, Park's Ohio-based operations, and SEPH for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.

Loans acquired as part of the acquisition of NewDominion were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. An allowance is only established on these loans as a result of credit deterioration post acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, there was no allowance related to acquired loans.

SEPH, as a non-bank subsidiary of Park, does not carry an ALLL balance, but recognizes a provision for loan losses when a charge-off is taken and recognizes a recovery of loan losses when a recovery is received.

Generally, management obtains updated valuations for all nonperforming loans including those held at SEPH, at least annually. As new valuation information is received, management performs an evaluation and applies a discount for anticipated disposition costs to determine the net realizable value of the collateral, which is compared against the outstanding principal balance to determine if additional write-downs are necessary.


Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming assets include: 1)(1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; 2)(2) TDRs on accrual status; 3)(3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue; (4) OREO which results from taking possession of property that served as collateral for a defaulted loan; and (5) other nonperforming assets.

Impaired Loans: Park’s allowance for loan losses includes an allocation for loans specifically identified as impaired under GAAP. At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, loans considered to be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as "substandard" or “doubtful” and placed on non-accrual status.  Specific reserves on impaired commercial loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans. The amount ultimately charged off for these loans may be different from the specific reserve as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral may be for amountsan amount different from management’s estimates.estimate.


When determining the quarterly loan loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be watch list credits, represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines that the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.
 
As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Park had taken partial charge-offs of $11.4$11.0 million related to the $61.7$50.9 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared to partial charge-offs of $10.0$11.2 million related to the $56.5$48.1 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2017.2018.

Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality:In conjunction with the NewDominion acquisition, Park acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $5.1 million which were recorded at the initial fair value of $4.9 million. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at March 31, 2019 was $4.3 million, of which $924,000 was considered impaired due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. The remaining $3.4 million are not included in impaired loan totals. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at December 31, 2018 was $4.4 million, of which $475,000 was considered impaired due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. The remaining $3.9 million are not included in impaired loan totals.
 
Allowance for loan losses: Loss factors are reviewed quarterly and updated at least annually to reflect recent loan loss history and incorporate current risks and trends which may not be recognized in historical data. The historical loss factors were last updated in the fourth quarter of 20172018 to incorporate losses through December 31, 2017.2018.

TheExcluding acquired loans, the allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $31.0$33.8 million, or 1.18%1.19% of the outstanding principal balance of performing commercial loans at June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019. Excluding acquired loans, at March 31, 2019, the coverage level within the commercial loan portfolio was approximately 3.183.42 years compared to 3.243.39 years at December 31, 2017.2018. Historical loss experience, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, over the 96-month108-month period ended December 31, 2017,2018, for the commercial loan portfolio was 0.37%0.35%. This 96-month108-month loss experience includes only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio and excludes the impact of PNB participations in Vision loans.


TheExcluding acquired loans, the overall reserve of 1.18%1.19% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.18%1.17%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 2.83%5.32%; and substandard commercial loans are reserved at 9.65%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and substandard commercial loans in excess of the 96-month108-month loss experience of 0.37%0.35% are due to the following factors which management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:


Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2017, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2017. With the addition of 2017 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 96 months from 84 months. The 96-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.


Loss Emergence Period Factor:At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Loss Migration Factor:Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Environmental Loss Factor:Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. There was no change to the environmental loss factor during the second quarter of 2018.
Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2018, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2018. With the addition of 2018 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 108 months from 96 months. The 108-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.
Loss Emergence Period Factor:At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. The loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Loss Migration Factor:Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Environmental Loss Factor:Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. No change was made to the environmental loss factor during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit ("HELOC"), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based on historical loss experience over the past 96108 months, through December 31, 2017.2018. Management generally considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”) appropriate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and changes in underwriting standards). At June 30, 2018,Excluding acquired loans, at March 31, 2019, the coverage level within the consumer loan portfolio was approximately 1.891.95 years compared to 1.921.87 years at December 31, 2017.2018. Historical loss experience, over the 96-month108-month period ended December 31, 2017,2018, for the consumer loan portfolio was 0.34%0.33%.


Loans acquired as part of the acquisition of NewDominion were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.  An allowance is only established on these NewDominion loans as a result of credit deterioration post acquisition.  As of March 31, 2019, there was no allowance related to acquired NewDominion loans.
The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose additional risks and assignment of a component of the allowance for loan losses in consideration of these factors. Such environmental qualitative factors include: global, national and local economic trends and conditions; experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff; effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures; and levels of, and

trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this component of the allowance for loan losses requires considerable management judgment. Actual loss experience may be more or less than the amount allocated.

The $373,000 increase was related to a $125,000 increase in fraud losses and a negative expense related to a $227,000 reduction in repurchase reserves during the acquisition of NewDominion Bank, which was effective July 1, 2018.three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to negative expense related to a $37,000 reduction in repurchase reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2019.


Income Tax
 
Federal incomeIncome tax expense was $5.8$5.0 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2018,2019, compared to $7.3$6.1 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2017, and was $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

30, 2017.2018. The difference between the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21% and Park’sPark's effective federal income tax rate is due toreflects permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, the tax benefit of investments in qualified affordable housing projects,and historical tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on the common shares held within Park’sPark's salary deferral plan.plan, as well as accelerated depreciation in 2018. Park expects permanent federal tax differences for the 20182019 year will be approximately $5.4$5.7 million.
Park and its Ohio-based affiliates do not pay state income taxes to the state of Ohio, but Park pays a franchise tax based on Park's year-end equity. The franchise tax expense is included in “state taxes” as part of other expense on Park’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to do so.

Capital Resources
 
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $755.1$845.0 million, or 10.1%10.8% of total assets, compared to $756.1$832.5 million, or 10.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2018 and $752.8 million, or 10.0% of total assets, at DecemberMarch 31, 2017 and $752.2 million, or 9.6% of total assets, at June 30, 2017.2018.
 
Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. Park has elected not to include the net unrealized gain or loss on AFS debt securities in computing regulatory capital. During the first quarter of 2015, Park adopted the Basel III regulatory capital framework as approved by the federal banking agencies. The adoption of this framework modified the calculation of the various capital ratios, added a new ratio, common equity tier 1, and revised the adequately and well capitalized thresholds under the prompt corrective action regulations applicable to PNB. Additionally, under this framework, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and repurchases of common shares, Park must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer iswas being phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to being fully phased in at 2.50% byat January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2018 is 1.875%. The amounts shown below as the adequately capitalized ratio plus capital conservation buffer includes the fully phased-in 2.50% buffer. The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted requirements Park must satisfy to be deemed "well-capitalized""well capitalized" and to remain a financial holding company.
 
Park and PNB met each of the well capitalized ratio guidelines applicable to them at June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 4345 of Park’s 20172018 Annual Report (Table 38)37) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2017.2018. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first sixthree months of 2018.2019.
 
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
PNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The exposure to credit loss (for PNB) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. PNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
 
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a monthly basis by modeling the consolidated financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on page 4345 of Park’s 20172018 Annual Report.
 
On page 4345 (Table 37)36) of Park’s 20172018 Annual Report, management reported that Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $407$308.2 million or 5.88%4.31% of total interest earning assets at December 31, 2017.2018. At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $204$272.3 million or 2.95%3.78% of total interest earning assets.
 
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve-month horizon.
 
On page 4345 of Park’s 20172018 Annual Report, management reported that at December 31, 2017, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 1.8% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 5.2% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At June 30, 2018, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 1.7%0.4% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 3.1% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At March 31, 2019, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 1.4% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 1.8%0.6% in a declining interest rate scenario. At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, management continues to believe that gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-5(f)13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.



PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

Item 1A.     Risk Factors
 
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. All of these risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the 20172018 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made.

(1)The number shown represents, as of the end of each period, the maximum number of common shares that may yet be purchased as part of Park’s publicly announced stock repurchase authorizationauthorizations to fund the 2017 Employees LTIP which became effective on April 24, 2017, and to fund the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP, both of which became effective on April 24, 20172017; and Park's publicly announced 2017 stock repurchase authorization which became effective on January 23, 2017. The number shown includes the 500,000 common shares covered by the January 28, 2019 authorization for repurchase by the Park Board of Directors. Although that authorization was subject to the receipt of approval from the Federal Reserve, such required approval was received by Park in the form of correspondence from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland dated April 19, 2019.
 

At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 24, 2017, Park's shareholders approved the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP. The common shares to be issued and delivered under the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP may consist of either common shares currently held or common shares subsequently acquired by Park as treasury shares. No newly-issued common shares will be delivered under the 2017 Employees LTIP or the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP. On April 24, 2017, Park's Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to 750,000 Park common shares and 150,000 common shares, respectively, to be held as

treasury shares for subsequent issuance and delivery under the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP.


On January 23, 2017, the Park Board of Directors authorized Park to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares.
