BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements



1.     Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “BPFH”), is a bank holding company (the “Holding Company”) with four reportable segments: Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust, Investment Management, and Wealth Advisory.
The Private Banking segment is comprised of the banking operations of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank” or “Boston Private Bank”), a trust company chartered by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 28, 2017, Boston Private Bank becameis a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Boston Private Bank currentlyprimarily operates in three geographic markets: New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California.
The Wealth Management and Trust segment is comprised of the operations of Boston Private Wealth LLC (“Boston Private Wealth”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston Private Bank, and the trust operations of Boston Private Bank. The segment offers investment management, wealth management, retirement plan advisory, family office, financial planning, and trust services to individuals, families, and institutions. The Wealth Management and Trust segment operates in New England; South Florida; California; and Madison, Wisconsin.
The Investment Management segment hashad two consolidated affiliates, consisting of Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co., LLC (“DGHM”) and Anchor Capital Advisors, LLC (“Anchor”) (together, the “Investment Managers”). included in its results for the first quarter of 2018. The assets and liabilities of Anchor were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Assets held for sale were $58.8 million at December 31, 2017, and liabilities held for sale were $3.2 million at December 31, 2017. In December 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire ownership interest in Anchor in a transaction that would result in Anchor being majority-owned by members of its management team. The transaction closed in April 2018. The Investment Management segment results for the third quarter of 2018 include results from DGHM. The Investment Management segment results for the first nine months of 2018 include results from DGHM for the full period and results from Anchor for the portion of the period before the transaction was closed.
The Wealth Advisory segment has two consolidated affiliates, consisting of KLS Professional Advisors Group, LLC (“KLS”) and Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough, LLC (“BOS”) (together, the “Wealth Advisors” and, together with the Wealth Management and Trust, and Investment Management segments, the “Wealth and Investment businesses”). On October 17, 2018, the Company announced an agreement to sell its entire ownership interest in BOS in a transaction that will result in BOS being majority-owned by members of its management team. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. Completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining client consents, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. As a result, the assets and liabilities of BOS will be classified as held for sale from October 17, 2018 through the date the transaction closes. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 15: Subsequent Event” for further details.
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its four reportable segments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are required for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Prior period amounts are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, as filed with the SEC. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same significant accounting policies, except for the following new accounting pronouncements from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) that were adopted effective January 1, 2017, 2018:


Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09,2017-12, Stock CompensationDerivatives and Hedging (Topic 718)815): Targeted Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting for Hedging Activities(“ (“ASU 2016-09”), and ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”2017-12”). ASU 2016-09 had no cumulative effectAs a result of implementing this standard, the Company reclassified $5 thousand in unrealized losses on prior periods, and for cash flow purposes the provisions were adopted prospectively. The Company electedderivatives related to early adopt ASU 2017-04hedge ineffectiveness from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. This ASU will provide more flexibility in the Company’s risk management activities and we believe it will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.
ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). This amendment requires an employer to 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 and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. As a result of the retrospective adoption of this ASU, $256 thousand and $597 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, have been reclassified from salaries and employee benefits expense to other expense within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $131 thousand and $411 thousand, respectively, are presented within other expense that would have been presented within salaries and employee benefits prior to adoption of ASU 2017-04 could increase or decrease2017-07.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU 2016-15”).  This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the amountstatement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. The guidance requires application using a goodwill impairment charge should any ofretrospective transition method. This ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s reporting unitsconsolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This amendment requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with goodwill failchanges in fair value, net of tax, recognized in net income. As a Stepresult of implementing this standard, the Company reclassified $339 thousand in unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity investments, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, test in2018. Additionally, this amendment requires that entities use the future, as compared to the amount of a goodwill impairment charge under the existing standards depending onexit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. As a result of implementing this standard, the reporting unit’s assets.Company’s updated process includes identifying a fair value for loans using the exit price notion. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5: Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which was subsequently amended by additional ASUs, including ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, collectively, “ASU 2014-09 et al.” ASU 2014-09 et al. was adopted using the modified retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2018, however no cumulative effect adjustment was required. This new guidance was applied to all revenue contracts in place at the date of adoption. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 13: Revenue Recognition” for further details.

See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption value from period to period reduces income attributable to common shareholders. Decreases in redemption value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009.
(2)Consideration paid in excess of carrying value for the redemption of the 6.95% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D (“the Series D preferred stock”) of $2.2 million is considered a deemed dividend and, for purposes of calculating EPS, reduces net income attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
(3)The diluted EPS computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 do not assume the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of the following shares for the following periods because the result would have been anti-dilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows:

The municipal bonds in the first table above had a current Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least AA-. As of December 31, 2017, the U.S. government and agencies securities and government-sponsored entities securities in the second table above had current Moody’s credit ratings of Aaa. The mortgage-backed securities in the second table above had a current Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least AA. The municipal bonds in the firstsecond table above had a current Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least AA- or a current Moody’s credit rating of at least Aa3. The other securities in the first table above consisted of equity securities. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired becauseas the decline in fair value on investments is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates and not credit quality.
At September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months, as well as in total, was primarily due to changes in interest rates.rates and not credit quality. As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company had no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell any of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized loss amounts.

5.    Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation can be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

(1)Other available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of primarily money market mutual fund securities.
(2)The Company has adopted a special trust for the Deferred Compensation Plan called a “rabbi trust.” The rabbi trust is an arrangement that is used to accumulate assets that may be used to fund the Company’s obligation to pay benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To prevent immediate taxation to the executives who participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan, the amounts placed in the rabbi trust must remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. The investments chosen by the participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan are mirrored by the rabbi trust as a way to minimize the earnings volatility of the Deferred Compensation Plan.
As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, available-for-sale securities consisted primarily of U.S. government and agencies securities, government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and other available-for-sale securities. The equities (which are categorized as other available-for-sale securities)Available-for-sale Level 1 securities are valued with prices quoted in active markets.

Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement.

Available-for-sale Level 2 securities generally have quoted prices but are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and can be priced using market data from similar assets. Therefore, they have beenassets and include government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, “off-the-run” U.S. Treasury securities, and certain investments in SBA loans (which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies securities). “Off-the-run” U.S. Treasury securities are Treasury bonds and notes issued before the most recently issued bond or note of a Level 2 measurement.particular maturity. When Treasuries move to the secondary over-the-counter market, they become less frequently traded, therefore, they are considered “off-the-run”. No investments held as of September 30, 20172018 or December 31, 20162017 were categorized as Level 3. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of available-for-sale securities in the nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.2018.
In managing its interest rate and credit risk, the Company utilizes derivative instruments such asincluding interest rate customer swaps, interest rate swaps, and risk participation agreements. As a service to its customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments such asincluding customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any. The

valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Therefore,volatilities, and therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements-NoteStatements - Note 8: Derivatives and Hedging Activities” for further details.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position.
The Company has determined that the majority of inputs used to value its derivatives fallare within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties.2. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.
Other investments, which are not considered available-for-sale investments, consist of deferred compensation trusts, whichTrading securities held in the rabbi trust consist of publicly traded mutual fund investments that are valued at prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.
The Company accounts for its investments held in the rabbi trust in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The investments held in the rabbi trust are classified as trading securities. The assets of the rabbi trust are carried at their fair value within Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the securities are recorded as an increase or decrease in Other income each quarter. The deferred compensation liability reflects the market value of the securities selected by the participants and is included within Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded as an increase or decrease in Other expense each quarter.
At September 30, 2018, five U.S. Treasury securities totaling $33.4 million were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as the securities were determined to be “off-the-run”. There were no other transfers between levels for assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.at December 31, 2017.
There were no Level 3 assets valued on a recurring basis at September 30, 20172018 or December 31, 2016.2017.

Impaired loans include those loans that were adjusted to the fair value of underlying collateral as required under ASC 310, Receivables. The amount does not include impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the respective loan’s original effective interest rate, as that amount is not considered a fair value measurement. The Company uses appraisals, which management may adjust to reflect estimated fair value declines, or may apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property or consideration of broker quotes. The appraisers use a market, income, and/or a cost approach in determining the value of the collateral. Therefore they have been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

financial assets represents a premium, or gain, the Company might recognize if the assetassets were sold, while an excess of book value over fair value on financial liabilities represents a premium, or gain, the companyCompany might recognize if the liabilityliabilities were sold, settled, or redeemed prior to maturity. Conversely, losses would be recognized if an asset wasassets were sold where the book value exceeded the fair value or a liability wasliabilities were sold where the fair value exceeded the book value.
The fair value estimates provided are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and the characteristics of the financial instrument. The estimates do not provide for any premiums or discounts that could result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Company’s financial instruments, certain fair value estimates are based on subjective judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the financial instruments, future expected loss experience, prepayment assumptions, and other factors. The resulting estimates involve uncertainties and are considered best estimates. Changes made to any of the underlying assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying value reported in the balance sheetssheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities and are classified as Level 1.
Held-to-maturity investmentInvestment securities held-to-maturity
Held-to-maturityInvestment securities held-to-maturity securities currently include mortgage-backed securities and a U.S. Treasury securities.security.

Therefore, they have2018 is an “off-the-run” U.S. Treasury security, therefore, it has been categorized as a Level 12 measurement. There were no U.S. Treasury securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2016.2017. The mortgage-backed securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. The principal market for our securities portfolio is the secondary institutional market, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in that market. Accordingly, these held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities are included in the Level 2 fair value category.
BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NotesAt September 30, 2018, one U.S. Treasury security totaling $12.0 million was transferred from Level 1 to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Level 2 as the security was determined to be “off-the-run”. There were no other transfers of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2017.
Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Fair value estimates are based on actual commitments to sell the loans to investors at an agreed upon price or current market prices if rates have changed since the time the loan closed. Accordingly, loans held for sale are included in the Level 2 fair value category.
Loans, net
Fair value estimates are based on loans with similar financial characteristics. Fair valuesFollowing the adoption of commercial and residential mortgage loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjustedASU 2016-01 in 2018, the Company updated its process for prepayment estimates and using discount rates approximately equal to current market rates on loans with similar credit and interest rate characteristics and maturities. The fair value estimates for home equity and other loans are based on outstanding loan terms and pricing in the local markets. The method of estimating the fair value of the loans, disclosed in the table above does not incorporate the exit price concept in the presentationnet of allowance for loan losses. The updated process estimates the fair value of these financial instruments. Net loans using the exit price notion, which includes identifying an exit price using current market information for origination rates and making certain adjustments to incorporate credit risk, transaction costs and other adjustments utilizing publicly available rates and indicies.

Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information on ASU 2016-01.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets consist of accrued interest and fees receivable, and stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"(“FRB”), for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Deposits
The fair values reported for transaction accounts (demand, NOW, savings, and money market) equal their respective book values reported on the balance sheetssheet and are classified as Level 2. The fair values disclosed are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated based on contractual cash flows discounted at the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings with similar maturities and therefore these securities have been classified as Level 2.
Federal funds purchased
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, if any, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and therefore these funds have been classified as Level 2.
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings
The fair value reported for FHLB borrowings is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is based on the Bank’s estimated current incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings of similar maturities and therefore these borrowings have been classified as Level 2.
Junior subordinated debentures
The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures issued by Boston Private Capital Trust I and Boston Private Capital Trust II were estimated using Level 3 inputs such as the interest rates on these securities, current rates for similar debt, a consideration for illiquidity of trading in the debt, and regulatory changes that would result in an unfavorable change in the regulatory capital treatment of this type of debt.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities consistconsists of accrued interest payable for which the carrying amount approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
The Bank’s commitments to originate loans and for unused lines and outstanding letters of credit are primarily at market interest rates and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

6.    Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality
The Bank’s lending activities are conducted principally in the regions of New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California. The Bank originates single and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax exempttax-exempt loans, construction and land loans, and home equity and other consumer loans. Most loans are secured by borrowers’ personal or business assets. The ability of the Bank’s single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic conditions within the Bank’s lending areas. Commercial, construction, and land borrowers’ ability to repay is generally dependent upon the health of the economy and real estate values, including, in particular, the performance of the construction sector. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changing conditions in the New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California economies and real estate markets.
Total loans include deferred loan origination (fees)/ costs, net, of $7.1 million and $5.9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest is in doubt. In certain instances, although infrequent, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing as of both September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. The Bank’s policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six consecutive months). For troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”), a return

to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months in accordance with the restructured loan terms, along with meeting other criteria.

Nonaccrual and delinquent loans are affected by many factors, such as economic and business conditions, interest rates, unemployment levels, and real estate collateral values, among others. In periods of prolonged economic decline, borrowers may become more severely affected over time as liquidity levels decline and the borrower’s ability to continue to make payments deteriorates. With respect to real estate collateral values, the declines from the peak, as well as the value of the real estate at the time of origination versus the current value, can impact the level of problem loans. For instance, if the loan to value ratio at the time of renewal has increased due to the decline in the real estate value since origination, the loan may no longer meet the Bank’s underwriting standards and may be considered for classification as a problem loan dependent upon a review of risk factors.
Generally when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank will continue to obtain updated appraisals as deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining property values.
The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank uses a risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. Loan classifications are assessments made by the Bank of the status of the loans based on the facts and circumstances known to the Bank, including management’s judgment, at the time of assessment. Some or all of these classifications may change in the future if there are unexpected changes in the financial condition of the borrower, including but not limited to, changes resulting from continuing deterioration in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Bank operates adversely affecting, among other things, real estate values. Such conditions, as well as other factors which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service or repay loans, typically result in changes in loan default and charge-off rates, and increased provisions for loan losses, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance and financial condition. These circumstances are not entirely foreseeable and, as a result, it may not be possible to accurately reflect them in the Company’s analysis of credit risk. Generally, only commercial loans, including commercial real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax exempttax-exempt loans, and construction and land loans, are given a numerical grade.
A summary of the rating system used by the Bank, repeated here from Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, follows:
Pass - All loans graded as pass are considered acceptable credit quality by the Bank and are grouped for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. For residential, home equity and consumer loans, the Bank classifies loans as pass unless there is known information such as delinquency or client requests for modifications which, due to financial difficulty, would then generally result in a risk rating such as special mention or more severe depending on the factors.
Special Mention - Loans rated in this category are defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or the Bank’s credit position. These loans are currently protected but have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard rating. For commercial loans, the borrower’s financial performance may be inconsistent or below forecast, creating the possibility of liquidity problems and shrinking debt service coverage. In loans having this rating, the primary source of repayment is still good, but there is increasing reliance on collateral or guarantor support. Collectability of the loan is not yet in jeopardy. In particular, loans in this category are considered more variable than other categories, since they will typically migrate through categories more quickly.
Substandard - Loans rated in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard credit has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans may be either still accruing or nonaccruing depending upon the severity of the risk and other factors such as the value of the collateral, if any, and past due status.
Doubtful - Loans rated in this category indicate that collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, is highly questionable and improbable. Loans in this category are usually on nonaccrual and classified as impaired.
The following tables present the loan portfolio’s credit risk profile by internally assigned grade and class of receivable as of the dates indicated:

(1)Recorded investment represents the client loan balance net of historical charge-offs and historical nonaccrual interest paid, if applicable, which was applied to principal.
When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is designated as impaired.
Loans that are designated as impaired require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding either the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans or the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent. Generally, shortfalls in the analysis on collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off.
Loans in the held for sale category are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate and are excluded from the allowance for loan losses analysis.

As of September 30, 2018, the Bank has pledged $2.6 billion of loans in a blanket lien agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank also has $570.1 million of loans pledged as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank for access to

their discount window. As of December 31, 2017, the Bank had pledged $2.5 billion of loans to the FHLB and $572.1 million of loans at the FRB.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

forgiveness. As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, TDRs totaled $14.7$8.2 million and $18.1$13.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, $11.52018, $5.2 million of the $14.7$8.2 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2016, $12.42017, $11.1 million of the $18.1$13.6 million in TDRs were on accrual status.
Since all TDR loans are considered impaired loans, they are individually evaluated for impairment. The resulting impairment, if any, would have an impact on the allowance for loan losses as a specific reserve or charge-off. If, prior to the classification as a TDR, the loan was not impaired, there would have been a general or allocated reserve on the particular loan. Therefore, depending upon the result of the impairment analysis, there could be an increase or decrease in the related allowance for loan losses. Many loans initially categorized as TDRs are already on nonaccrual status and are already considered impaired. Therefore, there is generally not a material change to the allowance for loan losses when a nonaccruing loan is categorized as a TDR.
The following tables present the balance of TDRs that were restructured or defaulted during the periods indicated and the types of concessions granted:

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. Management estimates the level of the allowance based on all relevant information available. Changes to the required level in the allowance result in either a provision for loan loss expense, if an increase is required, or a credit to the provision, if a decrease is required. Loan losses are charged to the allowance when available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when received in cash.

The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax exempttax-exempt commercial and industrial loans are included with commercial and industrial. The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax exempttax-exempt commercial real estate loans are included with commercial real estate. There were no charge-offs or recoveries, for any period presented, for both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate tax exempttax-exempt loans.
The following tables present the Company’s allowance for loan losses and loan portfolio at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017 by portfolio segment, disaggregated by method of impairment analysis. The Company had no loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at September 30, 20172018 or December 31, 2016.2017.

8.    Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and, to a lesser extent, the use of derivative financial instruments. Additionally, as a service to its customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments such as customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are generally determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain loans, deposits, and borrowings. As a service to its customers, the Company may utilize

(1)There was an additional $(3) thousand loss related to the ineffective portion for the nine months ended as of September 30, 2017 and2017. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 requires that amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income that are included in the assessment of effectiveness should be reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings. Transition guidance for this ASU further states that upon adoption, previously recorded cumulative ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges existing at the adoption date be eliminated by means of a $26cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date.

The Bank has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.
The Bank also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well- or adequately-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Bank would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.
Certain of the Bank’s agreements with its derivative counterparties contain provisions where, if specified, events or conditions occur that materially change the Bank’s creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Bank may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instruments. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the2018 there were no termination amounts related to collateral determinations of derivatives in a liability position were $3.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.as of December 31, 2017, the termination amount was $3.1 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparties and pledged securities with market values of $5.6$1.1 million and $1.9$2.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017, against its obligations under these agreements. The collateral posted is typically greater than the current liability position; however, due to timing of liability position changes at period end, the funding of a collateral shortfall may take place shortly following period end.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments.  The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) -indexed brokered deposits and the LIBOR component of the total cost of certain FHLB borrowings.
To accomplish this objective and strategy, the Bank has entered into a total of sevenfive interest rate swaps, two during 2017 with effective dates of March 22, 2017 and fivethree during 2013 with effective dates of DecemberAugust 1, 2014, September 2, 2014,2013, June 1, 2014, and March 1, 2014, and August 1, 2013.2014.
The two interest rate swaps entered into during 2017 have notional amounts of $40 million and $60 million with terms of 1.75 and 2.25 years, respectively. These interest rate swaps will effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on $100 million in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in the LIBOR component of FHLB borrowing liabilities at rates of 1.55% and 1.65%, respectively, with a weighted average rate of 1.61%. The borrowings hedged will initially be expected to be issuances and quarterly rollovers of 3-monththree-month FHLB advances but may also then include future issuances of 3-monththree-month repurchase agreements with similar characteristics and/or future issuances of either floating or fixed rate borrowings that are issued with the specific intent to replace the quarterly rollovers of the advances or repurchase agreements.
The fivethree interest rate swaps entered into during 2013 each have a notional amount of $25 million and have terms ranging from threefive to six years from their respective effective dates. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on $125$75 million of its LIBOR-indexed deposit liabilities at rates between 1.68% and 2.32%2.03%, with a weighted average rate of 1.98%1.82%.
ThePrior to the implementation of ASU 2017-12, which was implemented on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2018, the Company usesused the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” described in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness, as well as for measurements of hedge ineffectiveness. Under this method, the Company assessesassessed the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative iswas initially reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in interest and dividend income when the hedged transactions affect earnings. Ineffectiveness resulting from the hedge iswas recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations as part of fees and other income. There was an immaterial amount
Upon implementation of hedge ineffectivenessASU 2017-12, for derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.
hedged transaction affects earnings. A portion of the balance reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s interest rate swaps. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $0.4$0.9 million will be reclassified as an increasea decrease in interest expense. The Company monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.

Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from two different services the Bank provides to qualified commercial clients. The Bank offers certain derivative products directly to such clients. The Bank economically hedges derivative transactions executed with commercial clients by entering into mirror-image, offsetting derivatives with third parties. Derivative transactions executed as part of these programs are not designated in ASC 815-qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. Because the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset through earnings. The net effect on earnings is primarily driven by changes in the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The CVA represents the dollar amount of fair value adjustment related to nonperformance risk of both the Bank and its counterparties. Fees earned in connection with the execution of derivatives related to this program are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in other income. As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Bank had 138156 and 136142 derivatives, respectively, related to this program, comprised of interest rate swaps and caps, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2018 and $1.1 billion for each period.as of December 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2017,2018, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding related to this program, and as of December 31, 2016,2017, there was onewere three foreign currency exchange contractcontracts with an aggregate notional amount of less than $0.1$0.2 million.
In addition, as a participant lender, the Bank has guaranteed performance on the pro-rated portion of swaps executed by other financial institutions. As the participant lender, the Bank is providing a partial guarantee, but is not a direct party to the related swap transactions. The Bank has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrower defaults on their swap transaction with the lead bank and the swap is in a liability position to the borrower. In that instance, the Bank has agreed to pay the lead bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. As of September 30, 2018, there were seven of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million and, as of December 31, 2017, there were six of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $48.1 million and, as of December 31, 2016, there were two of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $13.3$48.0 million.
The Bank has also participated out to anotherother financial institutioninstitutions a pro-rated portion of two swaps executed by the Bank. The other financial institution has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrowers default on their swap transactions with the Bank and the swaps are in liability positions to the borrower. In those instances, the other financial institution has agreed to pay the Bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. The pro-rated notional amountAs of September 30, 2018, there were three of these risk participation transactions was $6.1with a pro-rated notional amount of $11.5 million and, as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.2017, there were two of these risk participation transactions with a pro-rated notional amount of $6.1 million.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 of 29.9%37.4%, with related tax expense of $28.9 million, was calculated based on a projected 2018 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was more than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the sale of Anchor and state and local income taxes. These items were partially offset by earnings from tax-exempt investments and income tax credits. The Company recorded tax expense of $12.7 million on the sale of Anchor in April 2018, which was primarily due to a book to tax basis difference associated with nondeductible goodwill.
On August 21, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued guidance (Notice 2018-68) on new rules regarding restrictions on public company deductions for executive compensation under Section 162(m). The IRS guidance involved the interpretation of the transition rule for written binding contracts that were in effect on November 2, 2017 as amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that was enacted on December 22, 2017. Based on the updated guidance, the Company recorded an additional tax expense of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2018 to comply with the guidance.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of 29.9%, with related tax expense of $24.8 million, was calculated based on a projected 2017 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of 31.0%, with related tax expense of $23.7 million, was calculated based on a projected 2016 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is lower than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2016 due primarily to a projected increase in earnings from tax-exempt investments and loans in 2017 as compared to 2016.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. The impact of ASU 2016-09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was a decrease in income tax expense of $0.3 million due to the fair value at the time of vesting of share-based compensation as compared to the grant date fair value, partially offset by stock options expiring unexercised due to being out of the money. There was no significant change to the Company’s effective tax rate related to the adoption of this ASU.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was more than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2017 due primarily to the sale of Anchor. This item was partially offset by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act.

10.    Noncontrolling Interests
At the Company, noncontrolling interests consist of equity owned by management of the Company’s respective majority-owned affiliates.affiliates, Anchor, BOS, and DGHM, for the periods in which the Company had an ownership interest in them. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations represents the net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners of the affiliates. Net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for each of the three monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 2016,$2.9 million and $3.2 million and $3.0 million for the nine monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.
On the consolidated balance sheets, noncontrolling interests are included as the sum of the capital and undistributed profits allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners. Typically, this balance is included in a company’s permanent shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. When the noncontrolling interest owners’ rights include certain redemption features, as described in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, such redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified as mezzanine equity and are not included in permanent shareholders’ equity. Due to the redemption features of the noncontrolling interests, the Company had redeemable noncontrolling interests held in mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of $15.9$11.7 million and $17.0$17.5 million at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. The aggregate amount of such redeemable noncontrolling equity interests are recorded at the estimated maximum redemption values. In addition, the Company had $4.8$2.2 million and $4.2$5.2 million in noncontrolling interests included in permanent shareholder’s equity at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.
Each non-wholly owned affiliate operating agreement provides the Company and/or the noncontrolling interests with contingent call or put redemption features used for the orderly transfer of noncontrolling equity interests between the affiliate noncontrolling interest owners and the Company at either a contractually predetermined fair value; multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)(“EBITDA”); or fair value. The Company may liquidate these noncontrolling interests in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or other forms of consideration dependent on the operating agreement. These agreements are discussed in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Generally, these put and call redemption features refer to shareholder rights of both the Company and the noncontrolling interest owners of the Company’s majority-owned affiliate companies. The affiliate company noncontrolling interests generally take the form of limited liability company (LLC)(“LLC”) units, profits interests, or common stock (collectively, the “noncontrolling equity interests”). In most circumstances, the put and call redemption features generally relate to the Company’s right and, in some cases, obligation to purchase and the noncontrolling equity interests’ right to sell their equity interests. There are various events that could cause the puts or calls to be exercised, such as a change in control, death, disability, retirement, resignation or termination. The puts and calls are generally to be exercised at the then fair value or a contractually agreed upon approximation thereof. The terms of these rights vary and are governed by the respective individual operating and legal documents.
The following table presents, by affiliate, the noncontrolling interests included as redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in mezzanine and permanent equity, respectively, at the periods indicated:

12.    Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company incurred restructuring charges related to the acquisition of Banyan Partners, LLC. The purpose of this restructuring was to realign the management structure within the Wealth Management and Trust segment. The total cost of the restructuring incurred in Q4 2014 was $0.7 million. In 2015, the Company incurred additional restructuring charges to further refine the management structure within the Wealth Management and Trust segment. The total cost of the restructuring charges in 2015 was $3.7 million.
In the first and second quarters of 2016, the Company incurred additional costs of $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in continued refinement of the management structure within the Wealth Management and Trust segment. The Company does not anticipate any additional restructuring costs related to this plan as of the date of this filing.

13.    Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 et al. As stated in Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.
ASC 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income on loans and investment securities. In addition, certain noninterest income such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, late fees, BOLI income, and derivatives are also not in scope of the new guidance. ASC 606 is applicable to noninterest income such as investment management fees, wealth advisory fees, wealth management and trust fees, and certain banking fees. However, the recognition of this revenue did not change upon adoption of ASC 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest income considered in-scope of ASC 606 is discussed below.
Investment management fees
Investment management fees are earned for the management of a series of accounts and funds in which clients invest directly, acting as a sub-advisor to larger investment management companies, or private client account management. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon either the beginning-of quarter (in advance) or quarter-end (in arrears) market value of the assets under management and advisory (“AUM”) and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contract. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company may earn performance-based incentives on certain contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
All of the investment management fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.

46

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Wealth advisory fees
Wealth advisory fees are earned for providing financial advisory services to clients. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time as the financial advisory services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based either on a fixed fee amount or are based on the quarter-end (in arrears) market value of the AUM and the applicable fee rate (“asset based fees”), depending on the terms of the contract. Payment on fixed fee contracts is received based on a schedule outlined in the contract, while payment on asset based fees are generally received a few days after quarter end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. No performance based incentives are earned on wealth advisory contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item. Deferred revenues related to the fixed fee contracts of $6.9 million and $6.6 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet within the other liabilities line item.
All of the wealth advisory fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.
Wealth management and trust fees
Wealth management and trust fees are earned for providing investment management, wealth management, retirement plan advisory, family office, financial planning, and trust services to clients. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time as the wealth management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based on the average monthly, beginning-of-quarter, or, for a small number of clients, end-of-quarter market value of the AUM and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contract. No performance based incentives are earned on wealth management contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
Trust fees are earned when the Company is appointed as trustee for clients. As trustee, the Company administers the client’s trust and manages the assets of the trust including investments and property. The Company’s performance obligation under these agreements is satisfied over time as the administration and management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly or, in certain circumstances, quarterly based on a percentage of the market value of the account as outlined in the agreement. Payment frequency is defined in the individual contracts which primarily stipulate monthly in arrears. No performance based incentives are earned on trust fee contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
All of the wealth management and trust fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.
Other banking fee income
The Bank charges a variety of fees to its clients for services provided on the deposit and deposit management related accounts. Each fee is either transaction-based or assessed monthly. The types of fees include service charges on accounts, overdraft fees, maintenance fees, ATM fee charges, credit card charges, and other miscellaneous charges related to the accounts. These fees are not governed by individual contracts with clients. They are charges to clients based on disclosures presented to clients upon opening these accounts along with updated disclosures when changes are made to the fee structures. The transaction-based fees are recognized in revenue when charged to the client based on specific activity on the client’s account. Monthly service/maintenance charges are recognized in the month they are earned and are charged directly to the client’s account.
The Bank also charges fees for treasury activities such as foreign exchange fees for clients with a banking relationship. These fees are recorded when earned via completion of the transaction for the client. The completion of the transaction is deemed to be the performance obligation of the transaction. The related revenue is recorded through a direct charge to the client’s account. There are no individual agreements or contracts with clients as it relates to foreign exchange fees as they are governed by client disclosure statements and the Bank’s internal policies and procedures.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of other banking fee income as described above is considered in-scope for ASC 606. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, $3.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of other banking fee income as described above is considered in-scope for ASC 606.

13.14.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014 and at various other dates after May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 replaces existing revenue recognition standards and expands the disclosure requirements for revenue agreements with customers. ASU 2014-09 has been subsequently amended by additional ASUs, including ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, collectively, “ASU 2014-09 et al..

reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 et al.al. does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and securities. Therefore,On January 1, 2018, the Company’s net interest income will not be impacted by this new standard. The Company has assembled a project team to address the changes pursuant toadopted ASU 2014-09 et alal.. The project team has completed the scope assessment. Approximately 61% of our revenue, including all of our interest income and a portion of our noninterest income, is out of scope of the guidance. The contracts that are in scope of the guidance are primarily related to service charges and fees on deposit accounts, wealth management and trust income, wealth advisory income, investment management income, and other service charges, commissions and fees. We are currently finalizing our review of these contracts and have not identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition. We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 et al. using the modified retrospective transition method, with ahowever no cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Although2018 was required. For additional disclosure details, see Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 13: Revenue Recognition.”
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Instruments - Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management must evaluate whether conditions and events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and then whether its plans alleviate that doubt. ASU 2014-15 was effective in 2016 and management performs the required evaluation quarterly and has concluded that there are no such conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01. This ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value, net of tax, recognized in net income. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company does not anticipate any material impactreclassified $339 thousand in unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity investments, net of ASU 2014-09 et al.,tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, this amendment requires that entities use the Company does expect additionalexit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial statement disclosures and associated internal controlsinstruments for disclosure purposes. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company’s updated process includes identifying a fair value for loans using the exit price notion. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to be implemented along with the adoption of this ASU.Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5: Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU update amends current lease accounting and requires all leases, other than short-term leases, to be reported on the balance sheet through the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability for future lease obligations. The amended guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and will require transition utilizing a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.statements (an additional transition method has been provided for in ASU 2018-11, discussed below). Early adoption of this ASU is permitted although the Company does not plan to early adopt. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to revenue or operating expenses as a result of the adoption of

this ASU. The Company expects that this ASU will gross up the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the lease assets and liabilities.liabilities and reduce regulatory capital ratios.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09.2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based plans such as income tax consequences, classification of awards as either liabilities or equity on the balance sheet, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU has resulted in, and will continue to result in, fluctuations in the Company’s earnings due to changes in the Company’s stock price between issuance date and settlement date of employee share-based transactions. In addition, the Company anticipates that certain stock options will expire unexercised, due to being out of the money,having no intrinsic value, and this ASU requires the previous tax benefits to be reversed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the impact on the Company’s income tax expense related to the adoption of this ASU was a decrease of $0.3 million.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is available as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not plan on adopting early.early adopting. The impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on factors at the time of adoption such as the balance and type of loans on the balance sheet, the Company’s loan loss history, and various qualitative factors.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) (“ASU 2016-15”).2016-15.  This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows.

In JanuaryMarch 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04.2017-07. This update isamendment requires an employer to report the result ofservice cost component in the first phase of a two phase projectsame line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the FASB to reducepertinent employees during the period.

Step 2 measuresservice cost component and outside a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair valuesubtotal of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss,operations, if applicable. Under the provisions of this update, an entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment, or Step 0 test, for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment testone is necessary.presented.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). This update amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amortization period for the premium on such securities is being shortened to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The guidance requires application using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company early adopted this ASU as of July 1, 2017, which had a minimalan immaterial impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”).2017-12. The standard is intended to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018;2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company planselected to early adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018. The2018 with a modified retrospective transition. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company currently has seven interest rate swaps that are designated for hedge accounting and the adoption is not expectedreclassified $5 thousand in unrealized losses on derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. This ASU will provide more flexibility in the Company’s risk management activities and we believe it will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.
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 update was issued to address a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the change in the tax law. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the Tax Act which, among other significant changes, lowers the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. This update requires a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act. ASC 740 requires that the tax effects of changes in tax rates be recognized in income tax expense/ (benefit) attributable to continuing operations in the period in which the law is enacted. As a result, the tax effect of accumulated other comprehensive income does not reflect the appropriate tax rate. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the stranded tax effects associated with the change in the federal corporate income tax rate related to the Tax Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company early adopted this ASU on December 31, 2017 and reclassified $1.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”), and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). These updates clarify the guidance in ASU 2016-02 which introduced Topic 842, and add an additional transition method for leases. ASU 2018-11 allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date (January 1, 2019 for the Company) and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. This transition method is in addition to the initial modified retrospective transition method, which would require an entity to initially apply the new leases standard (subject to specific transition requirements and optional practical expedients) at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements (January 1, 2017 for the Company). This means that starting on January 1, 2017, lessees must recognize lease assets and liabilities for all leases even though those leases may have expired before the effective date. Lessees also must provide the new and enhanced disclosures for each period presented, including the comparative periods. ASU 2018-11 would not require the amended disclosures of Topic 842 for comparative periods. The Company will adopt these

49

provisions along with those of ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, and has elected to use the cumulative effect adjustment transition method, as prescribed by ASU 2018-11.
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 (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Among other changes, this update removes the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This update adds to required disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still assessing the potential disclosure impact for these amendments and whether to adopt the provisions prior to January 1, 2020.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). The amendments in ASU 2018-14 remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This update is effective on a retrospective basis for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is still assessing the potential impact for this update and how it applies to the Company’s disclosures surrounding its two non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans (“SERP”) and a long term incentive plan (“LTIP”) at one of its affiliate companies.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. This update is effective on a retrospective basis for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company plans to early adopt this update effective January 1, 2019.

15.    Subsequent Events
BOS Transaction
On October 17, 2018, the Company announced an agreement to sell all of its ownership interest in BOS in a transaction that will result in BOS being majority-owned by members of its management team for an upfront cash payment and a non-voting, revenue share participation interest in BOS. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. Completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining client consents, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. 
As a result of finalizing the sale agreements and obtaining approval by the Company’s Board of Directors on such date, the Company determined that the criteria for held for sale accounting treatment, which had not been met at September 30, 2018, had been met as of October 17, 2018. Therefore, the Company will classify BOS assets and liabilities as held for sale for the period from October 17, 2018 through the close of the transaction.
The Company will receive approximately $21 million of cash at closing and an eight year revenue share. The Company currently estimates that the financial impact of the transaction will result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $18 million and a related tax expense of approximately $3 million to $4 million. The net financial impact will increase Tier 1 Common Equity by approximately $33 million. The financial impact will be recorded at the time of closing.
BOS had approximately $4.7 billion of AUM as of September 30, 2018 and accounted for approximately $17.4 million of revenue in the Company’s Wealth Advisory segment, $11.9 million of operating expense, and $2.1 million of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial results during the first nine months of 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its most critical accounting policies upon which its financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are the allowance for loan and lease losses, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and analysis for impairment, and tax estimates. These policies are discussed in Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of


Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017. There have been no changes to these policies through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net interest income. Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”)NIM is calculated by taking annualizedthe amount of net interest income, for the period, on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”)FTE basis, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on earninginterest-earning assets is the amount of annualized taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average earninginterest-earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest

expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities. When credit quality declines and loans are placed on nonaccrual status, NIM can decrease because the same assets are earning less income. Loans graded as substandard but still accruing interest income totaled $53.7$55.4 million at September 30, 20172018 and could be placed on nonaccrual status if their credit quality declines further.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 was $56.6$59.6 million, an increase of $6.8$3.0 million, or 14%5%, compared to the same period in 2016.2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, net interest income was $167.4$174.6 million, an increase of $18.5$7.2 million, or 12%4%, compared to the same period in 2016.2017. The increase for the three and nine months is due to higher volume and yields on loans andprimarily driven by higher yields and volumes on cashinterest-earning assets, and investments,interest recoveries, partially offset by higher volume and average rates paid on the Company’s borrowings and interest-bearing deposits and higherborrowings. The increases in yields and rates paid on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The increase for the nine months isare due to higher volume and yields on loans and cash and investments, partially offset by higher volume and average rates paid on and interest-bearing deposits and the Company’s FHLB and other borrowings, and higher average rates paid on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures.increases in interest rate benchmarks. The NIM was 3.02%2.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase2018, a decrease of fourteen9 basis points compared to the same period in 2016.2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, the NIM was 3.01%2.92%, an increasea decrease of nine9 basis points compared to the same period in 2016.2017. Due to the lower federal tax rate in 2018, the FTE adjustment has a lower impact on the interest gross-up for NIM purposes.
The following tables present the composition of the Company’s NIM on a FTE basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016;2017; however, the discussion following these tables reflects non-FTE data.

The Bank generally has interest income that is either recoveredcollected or reversed related to nonaccrual loans each quarter. Based on the net amount recoveredcollected or reversed, the impact on interest income and related yields can be either positive or negative.

The amount and timing of prepayment penalties varies from quarter to quarter.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as trade names are subject to annual impairment tests, or more frequently, if there is indication of impairment, based on guidance in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Long-lived intangible assets such as advisory contracts are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”).
Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 20162017 for applicable reporting units. The 2016 goodwill impairment testing indicated that Boston Private Wealth failed Step 1 and the resulting Step 2 test indicated goodwill impairment of $9.5 million. The estimated fair value for all other applicable reporting units exceeded the carrying value in 2016, and as a result no other impairment was evident. There was no additional testing required for long-lived intangible assets in 2016.
The estimated fair value of BOS, KLS, and Boston Private Wealth as a result ofeach exceeded their carrying value in 2017. Management will perform the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing for this year during the fourth quarter 2016 impairment testing was $68.0 million as compared to a carrying value of $76.9 million, resulting in a deficit of $8.9 million, or 11.6%. Even though the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge for Boston Private Wealth in 2016, there could be additional goodwill impairment in the future should Boston Private Wealth’s actual results not meet projections. In addition to financial results, other inputs to the valuation, such as the discount rate and market assumptions, could negatively affect the estimated fair value of Boston Private Wealth in the future. The Company has concluded that no interim goodwill impairment triggering event has occurred and no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary at September 30, 2017. The Company will again be performing its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter.
The estimated fair value of Anchor as a result of the fourth quarter 2016 impairment testing was $87.0 million as compared to a carrying value of $81.6 million, an excess of $5.4 million, or 6.6%. Due to the narrow margin between the fair value and the carrying value of Anchor, Anchor will continue to be at risk for potential goodwill impairment. The Company has concluded that no interim goodwill impairment triggering event occurred and no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary at September 30, 2017. The Company will again be performing its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter.2018.

Total other assets increased $64.4at September 30, 2018 decreased $3.7 million, or 25%1%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2017. These changes resulted from the following factors:
Other assets, which consist primarily of BOLI, investment in partnerships, prepaid expenses, the fair value of interest rate derivatives, other receivables, and assets held for sale, if any, decreased $14.0 million, or 5%, to $318.0$245.5 million at September 30, 2017 as compared to $253.62018 from $259.5 million at December 31, 2016.2017. The increasedecrease was primarily due to the resultdivestiture of increasesAnchor in otherthe second quarter of 2018, which had been classified as assets held for sale at December 31, 2017. This was partially offset by a decrease in deferred income taxes, net, OREO,the $14.8 million current receivable balance for the future revenue share with Anchor as part of the divestiture agreement.
Premises and fees receivable.
OREO decreased $1.7equipment increased $9.8 million, or 26%, to zero$47.4 million at September 30, 20172018 from $1.7$37.6 million at December 31, 2016.2017. In 2017, the one property heldBank began working on an initiative to upgrade its information technology. The increase was primarily due to expenditures related to this initiative. Generally the expenditures in OREO at December 31, 2016 was sold for a small loss.the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Other expenditures related to the application development stage have been capitalized. The capitalized expenditures will be depreciated over the useful life of the asset when the asset is placed in service. The capitalized assets will continue to be placed in service throughout the fourth quarter of 2018 and into 2019.
Deferred income taxes, net, decreased $9.4$1.2 million, or 17%4%, to $46.1$27.8 million at September 30, 20172018 from $55.5$29.0 million at December 31, 2016.2017. The decrease was primarily due todriven by deferred income tax expense, partially offset by the current year tax effect of other comprehensive income.income/ (loss). At September 30, 2017,2018, no valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset was required due primarily to the expectation of


future taxable income as well as the availability of current and historical taxable income. OurThe Company’s use of these deferred tax benefits may depend on a number of factors including future changes in laws or regulations relating to tax rates, tax credits, tax deductions, and net operating losses. A decrease in tax rates would require us to revalue the net deferred tax assets lower with a corresponding income tax expense.
Other assets, which consist primarily of BOLI, prepaid expenses, investment in partnerships, the fair value of interest rate derivatives, and other receivables, increased $70.3 million, or 54%, to $201.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $130.8 million at December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an additional $50.0 million investment in BOLI policies, an increase in income taxes receivable and the purchase of additional cost method investments.
Deposits. Deposits increased $177.2 million, or 3%, to $6.3 billion, at September 30, 2017 from $6.1 billion2018 increased $258.5 million, or 4%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2016. 2017, primarily due to the Company’s continued focus on increasing the deposit base to fund loan growth. Average total deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased 5% from the same period in 2017 as shown in


the average balance sheet. In September 2018, the Company began a deposit sweep program to sweep Boston Private Wealth excess customer cash balances into a money market deposit account held at the Bank, as compared to a non-affiliated financial company. Included in the deposits balance at September 30, 2018 and accounting for a portion of the increase from December 31, 2017 is $119.8 million of Boston Private Wealth money market deposit sweep balances. For further details, see “Results of Operations” above.
Deposits are the principal source of the Bank’s funds for use in lending, investments, and liquidity. Certificates of deposits represented approximately 11% and 10% of total deposits at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Deposit levels can fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of large short-term transactions by commercial clients. Seasonality can also affect the deposit balances.
As a general matter, deposits are a cheaper source of funds than borrowings, because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, the amount of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may have to rely more heavily on higher cost borrowings as a source of funds in the future.

The ability to grow the loan portfolio is partially related to the Bank’s ability to increase deposit levels. Deposits are generally a cheaper source of funds than borrowings, because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, the amount of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may have to rely more heavily on higher cost borrowings as a source of funds in the future. The Bank’s use of wholesale funding is limited as a result of internal policies such as the loans of $220.9 million, or 9%; commercial real estate loans of $60.9 million, or 3%; commercial tax exempt loans of $32.7 million, or 8%; construction and land loans of $13.4 million, or 13%; and commercial and industrial loans of $6.9 million, or 1%, partially offset by decreases in consumer and other loans of $24.4 million, or 12%; and home equity loans of $11.6 million, or 10%.to deposits ratio.
The Bank specializes in lending to individuals, real estate investors, and middle market businesses, including corporations, partnerships, associations and nonprofit organizations. Loans made by the Bank to individuals may include residential mortgage loans and mortgage loans on investment or vacation properties, unsecured and secured personal lines of credit, home equity loans, and overdraft protection. Loans made by the Bank to businesses include commercial and mortgage loans, revolving lines of credit, working capital loans, equipment financing, community lending programs, and construction and land loans. The types and sizes of loans the Bank originates are limited by regulatory requirements.
The Bank’s loans are affected by the economic and real estate markets in which they are located. Generally, commercial real estate, construction, and land loans are affected more than residential loans in an economic downturn.
In August of 2017, parts of Texas experienced widespread damage and flooding from Hurricane Harvey. In September of 2017, parts of Florida and the Caribbean experienced widespread damage and flooding from Hurricane Irma. Additionally, in September and October of 2017, parts of northern California experienced damage resulting from several widespread wildfires. Surveys of the Bank’s borrowers and collateral located within these areas indicated that most customers experienced only minor damage to the Bank’s underlying collateral which, to date, has been covered by property insurance. However, the Bank continues to assess the extent of the damage and the insurance coverage in place. In addition, the ongoing businesses of customers in these impacted areas could be interrupted which could adversely impact their ability to repay their loans. The Bank is continuing to communicate with borrowers in the affected areas and is evaluating any financial impact.
The Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio, the largest portfolio segment after residential, includes loans secured by the following types of collateral at September 30, 2017: $706.4 million secured by multifamily and residential investment property; $618.8 million secured by retail property; $543.1 million secured by office and medical property; $186.4 million secured by manufacturing, industrial, and warehouse property; $145.3 million secured by hospitality property; and $163.2 million secured by other property. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio as of December 31, 2016 included loans secured by the following types of collateral: $674.2 million secured by multifamily and residential investment property; $660.7 million secured by retail property; $466.8 million secured by office and medical property; $195.9 million secured by manufacturing, industrial, and warehouse property; $116.0 million secured by hospitality property; and $188.6 million secured by other property.dates indicated:

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is reported as a reduction of outstanding loan balances and totaled $74.9$73.5 million and $78.1$74.7 million as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses decreased $1.2 million to $73.5 million, or 1.09% of total loans, as of September 30, 2017 decreased $3.22018 from $74.7 million, fromor 1.15% of total loans, as of December 31, 20162017. The decrease in the overall allowance for loan losses was due to a decline in thecriticized loans and a decline in loss factors, partially offset by loan growth and the mix in the loan portfolio. The provision credit for loan losses in the third quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by loan recoveries, the mix in the loan portfolio, change inpartially offset by the volume and type of criticized loans and loan growth in certain portfolio segments. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased 11 basis points to 1.17% as of September 30, 2017 from 1.28% as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans is due to a decline in the loss factors, a combinationimpact of the mixincrease in the loan portfolio, and the change in the volume and type of criticized loans. See PartPart I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses” for an analysis of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
An analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio as well as management judgment is used to determine the estimated appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is comprised of three primary components (general reserves, allocated reserves on non-impaired special mention and substandard loans, and allocated reserves on impaired loans). See Part II. Item 8. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6: Allowance for Loan Losses” and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for further information.

NetThere were $1.0 million in net recoveries of $0.3 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2017,2018, compared to $2.1$0.3 million of net recoveries for the same period of 2016. The $3.5 million in net recoveries recorded in the first nine months of 2017 related primarily to commercial real estate loans.2017.
Despite the current year net recoveries on previously charged-off commercial loans (which include construction and land loans, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans), theThe Company believes that commercial loans represent the greatest risk of loss due to the size and nature of these loans and the related collateral.collateral, if applicable. Local economic and business conditions in the markets where our offices are located have a significant impact on our commercial loan customers and their ability to service their loans.
Nonperforming assets. The Company’s nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO, if any. OREO, if any, consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings and real estate acquired through acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure. As of September 30, 2017,2018, nonperforming assets totaled $13.6$12.2 million, or 0.16%0.15% of total assets, a decrease of $5.4$2.1 million, or 28%15%, compared to $19.0$14.3 million, or 0.24%0.17% of total assets, as of December 31, 2016.2017.
The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement is in doubt. Despite a loan having a current payment status, if the Bank has reason to believe it may not collect all principal and interest on the loan in accordance with the related contractual terms, the Bank will generally discontinue the accrual of interest income and will apply any future interest payments received to principal. Of the $13.6$12.1 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2017, $6.32018, $2.3 million, or 46%19%, had a current payment status, $0.5$0.3 million, or 4%2%, were 30-89 days past due, and $6.8$9.5 million, or 50%79%, were 90 days or more past due. Of the $17.3$14.3 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2016, $5.12017, $1.3 million, or 29%9%, had a current payment status, $2.2$3.4 million, or 13%24%, were 30-89 days past due, and $10.0$9.6 million, or 58%67%, were 90 days or more past due.
The Bank continues to evaluate the underlying collateral of each nonperforming loan and pursue the collection of interest and principal. Where appropriate, the Bank obtains updated appraisals on collateral. Reductions in fair values of the collateral for nonaccrual loans, if they are collateral dependent, could result in additional future provision for loan losses depending on the timing and severity of the decline. See Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 6: Loans Receivable”Portfolio and Credit Quality” for further information on nonperforming loans.
The Bank’s policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six consecutive months). For nonaccruing troubled debt restructuredTDR loans, (“TDRs”), a return to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months in accordance with restructured terms, along with meeting other criteria.
Delinquencies. The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. Loans 30-89 days past due decreased $9.8$13.4 million, or 65%54%, to $5.3$11.6 million as of September 30, 20172018 from $15.1$25.0 million as of December 31, 2016.2017, with the decrease primarily due to the number of days in September as compared to the number of days in December. Loan delinquencies can be attributed to many factors, such as continuing weakness in, or deteriorating, economic conditions in the region in which the collateral is located, the loss of a tenant or lower lease rates for commercial borrowers, renewal and administrative issues, or the loss of income for consumers and the resulting liquidity impacts on the borrowers. Further deterioration in the credit condition of these delinquent loans could lead to the loans going to nonaccrual status and/or being downgraded. Downgrades would generally result in additional provision for loan losses. Past due loans may be included with accruing substandard loans.


In certain instances, although very infrequently, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the


process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing, respectively, as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.
Impaired Loans. When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is considered impaired. Certain impaired loans may continue to accrue interest based on factors such as the restructuring terms, if any, the historical payment performance, the value of collateral, and the financial condition of the borrower. Impaired commercial loans and impaired construction loans are typically, in accordance with ASC 310, individually evaluated for impairment. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans may be collectively evaluated for impairment. Such groups of loans may include, but are not limited to, residential loans, home equity loans, and consumer loans. However, if the terms of any of such loans are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, then such loans would be individually evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. For collateral dependent loans, impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding either the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, or, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent, the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan’s contractual effective interest rate. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank will continue to obtain updated appraisals, as deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining property values. Normally, shortfalls in the analysis of collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off. Based on the impairment analysis, the provision could be higher or lower than the amount of provision associated with a loan prior to its classification as impaired. See Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for detail on the Company’s treatment of impaired loans in the allowance for loan losses.
Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan losses totaled $21.6$14.0 million as of September 30, 2017,2018, a decrease of $4.4$8.6 million, or 17%38%, compared to $26.0$22.6 million as of December 31, 2016.2017. As of September 30, 2017, $8.72018, $4.1 million of the individually evaluated impaired loans had $0.8$1.2 million in specific reserve allocations. The remaining $12.9$9.9 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations due to the adequacy of collateral, prior charge-offs taken, interest collected and applied to principal, or a combination of these items. As of December 31, 2016, $11.42017, $8.1 million of individually evaluated impaired loans had $1.1$0.7 million in specific reserve allocations, and the remaining $14.6$14.5 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, TDRs totaled $14.7$8.2 million and $18.1$13.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, $11.52018, $5.2 million of the $14.7$8.2 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2016, $12.42017, $11.1 million of the $18.1$13.6 million in TDRs were on accrual status.
Potential Problem Loans. Loans that evidence weakness or potential weakness related to repayment history, the borrower’s financial condition, or other factors are reviewed by the Bank’s management to determine if the loan should be adversely classified. Delinquent loans may or may not be adversely classified depending upon management’s judgment with respect to each individual loan. The Bank classifies certain loans as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Potential problem loans consist of accruing substandardclassified loans where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in classification of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors which may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Triggering events for loan downgrades include updated appraisal information, inability of borrowers to cover debt service payments, loss of tenants or notification by the tenant of non-renewal of lease, inability of borrowers to sell completed construction projects, and the inability of borrowers to sell properties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, be restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provision for loan losses.


As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Bank has identified $53.7$55.4 million in potential problem loans, a decreasean increase of $10.0$2.0 million, or 16%4%, compared to $63.7$53.4 million as of December 31, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to one CRE loan for $9.2 million which was paid off in April 2017. Numerous factors impact the level of potential problem loans including economic conditions and real estate values. These factors affect the borrower’s liquidity and, in some cases, the borrower’s ability to comply with loan covenants such as debt service coverage. WhenFor instance, when there is a loss of a major tenant in a commercial real estate building, the appraised value of the building generally declines. Loans may be downgraded when this occurs as a result of the additional risk to the borrower in obtaining a new tenant in a timely manner and negotiating a lease with similar or better terms than the previous tenant. In many cases, these loans are still current and paying as agreed, although future performance may be impacted.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the Company’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs for day-to-day operations and material long and short-term commitments. Liquidity risk is the risk of potential loss if the Company were unable to meet its funding requirements at a reasonable cost. The Company manages its liquidity based on demand, commitments, specific events and uncertainties to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity is to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers as well as earnings enhancement opportunities in a changing marketplace.

At September 30, 2017,2018, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $110.4$92.6 million. The Holding Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $63.0$46.4 million at September 30, 2017.2018. Management believes that the Holding Company and its affiliates, including the Bank, have adequate liquidity to meet their commitments for the foreseeable future.


Management is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets as well as strategies to meet these targets. At September 30, 20172018, consolidated cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale, securities, less securities pledged against current borrowings and derivatives, amounted to $1.2$1.1 billion, or 15%13% of total assets, compared to $1.3 billion, or 16%15% of total assets, at December 31, 2016.2017. Future loan growth may depend upon the Company’s ability to continue to grow its core deposit levels. In addition, the Company has access to available borrowings through the FHLB totaling $1.0$1.4 billion at September 30, 2017, compared to $0.92018, which increased from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2016.2017, as the Company decreased its usage of FHLB borrowings in 2018. Combined, this liquidity totals $2.2$2.5 billion, or 27%30% of assets and 36%37% of total deposits, as of September 30, 2017,2018, compared to $2.2$2.5 billion, or 28%30% of assets and 37%38% of total deposits, at December 31, 2016.2017.
The Bank has various internal policies and guidelines regarding liquidity, both on- and off-balance sheet, loans to assets ratio, and limits on the use of wholesale funds. These policies and/or guidelines require certain minimum or maximum balances or ratios be maintained at all times. In light of the provisions in the Bank’s internal liquidity policies and guidelines, the Bank will carefully manage the amount and timing of future loan growth along with its relevant liquidity policies and balance sheet guidelines. As a general matter, deposits are a cheaper source of funds than borrowings, because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, the amount of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may have to rely more heavily on higher cost borrowings as a source of funds in the future.
Holding Company Liquidity. The Company and some of the Company’s majority-owned affiliates hold put and call options that would require the Company to purchase (and the noncontrolling interest owners of the majority-owned affiliates to sell) the remaining noncontrolling interests in these companies at either a contractually predetermined fair value, a multiple of EBITDA, or fair value, as determined by the respective agreements. At September 30, 2017,2018, the estimated maximum redemption value for these affiliates related to outstanding put options was $15.9$11.7 million, all of which could be redeemed within the next 12 months, under certain circumstances, and is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interests. These put and call options are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
The Holding Company’s primary sources of funds are dividends from its affiliates and access to the capital and debt markets. The Holding Company recognized $3.9$1.7 million in net income from discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 as the final payment related to a revenue sharing agreement with Westfield. The Company will not receive additional income from Westfield Capital Managementnow that the final payment has been received.


Although not a primary source of funds, the Holding Company LLC (“Westfield”). Thishas generated liquidity from the sale of affiliates in the past and also generated additional funds at the time of the Anchor sale closing in April 2018. Pursuant to the Anchor sale agreement, the Holding Company will be entitled to future revenue sharing agreement ispayments that had a net present value of $15.4 million in effect through December 2017, andaddition to the terms are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3: Acquisitions, Asset Sales, and Divestitures”$34.2 million of cash received at the time of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K forsale closing in April 2018. The Company expects to receive $0.7 million over the year ended December 31, 2016. Other thanremaining three months of 2018 from the revenue sharing agreement with Westfield, divestitures are not current ongoing sourcesAnchor, a portion of funds forwhich will be recorded as miscellaneous income related to the Holding Company. Afterdifference between the December 2017 payment undercash received and the revenue sharing agreementpresent value of the payment. The Company also incurred a tax liability of $12.7 million attributable to the transaction, which is received inprimarily the result of a book-to-tax basis difference associated with nondeductible goodwill.
On October 17, 2018, the Company announced an agreement to sell all of its current equity interest in BOS  in a transaction that will notresult in BOS being majority owned by members of its management team for an upfront cash payment and a non-voting, revenue share participation interest in BOS. Completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining client consents, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The Company will receive additionalapproximately $21 million of cash at closing and an eight year revenue share. The Company currently estimates that the financial impact of the transaction will result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $18 million and a related tax expense of approximately $3 million to $4 million. The net income from Westfield. financial impact will increase Tier 1 Common Equity by approximately $33 million. The financial impact will be recorded at the time of closing, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Dividends from the Bank are limited by various regulatory requirements relating to capital adequacy and retained earnings. See Part II. Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters, and Issuers Purchases of Equity Securities” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for further details.
The Bank pays dividends to the Holding Company, subject to the approval of the Bank’s boardBoard of directors,Directors, depending on its profitability and asset growth. If regulatory agencies were to require banks to increase their capital ratios, or impose other restrictions, it may limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Holding Company and/or limit the amount that the Bank could grow.
Although the Bank’s capital currently exceeds regulatory requirements for capital, the Holding Company could downstream additional capital to increase the rate that the Bank could grow. Depending upon the amount of capital downstreamed by the Holding Company, the approval of the Holding Company’s boardBoard of directorsDirectors may be required prior to the payment, if any.
The Company is required to pay interest quarterly on its junior subordinated debentures. The estimated cash outlay for the remaining three months of 20172018 for the interest payments is approximately $1.6$1.0 million based on the debt outstanding at September 30, 20172018 and estimated LIBOR.London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is expected to be phased out as an index by the end of 2021 and the Company is currently evaluating alternatives to the LIBOR index.
The Company presently plans to pay cash dividends on its common stock on a quarterly basis dependent upon a number of factors such as profitability, Holding Company liquidity, and the Company’s capital levels. However, the ultimate declaration of dividends by the boardBoard of directorsDirectors of the Company will depend on consideration of, among other things, recent financial trends and internal forecasts, regulatory limitations, alternative uses of capital deployment, general economic conditions, and regulatory changes to capital requirements. Additionally, the Company is required to inform and consult with the Federal Reserve in advance of declaring a dividend that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid. Based on the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.11$0.12 per share, as announced by the Company on January 18, 2017,17, 2018, and estimated shares outstanding, the Company estimates that the amount to be paid out for dividends to common shareholders in the remaining three months of 20172018 will be approximately $9.1$10.1 million. The estimated dividend payments in 20172018 could increase or decrease if the Company’s boardBoard of directorsDirectors votes to increase or decrease, respectively, the current dividend rate, and/or the number of shares outstanding changes significantly.


BasedOn June 15, 2018, the Company redeemed all $50 million of the outstanding Series D preferred stock. There will therefore be no additional outlay for cash dividends on the shares of stock outstanding of 6.95% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D and the dividend rate, the Company expects to pay $0.9 million in cash dividends on preferred stock for the remaining three months of 2017. Although the rate of interest is set in the terms of the preferred stock, the quarterly preferred stock dividend payments are subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors.2018.
In the first quarter of 2016,2018, the Company’s boardBoard of directorsDirectors approved, and the Company received regulatory non-objection for, a share repurchase program of up to $20$20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market for a two-year period. As of September 30, 2017, there2018, $18.1 million remains $10.7 million available to be repurchased.for repurchase. The amount and timing of additional repurchases if any, will be based on the Company’s continuous evaluation of the program.


Bank Liquidity. The Bank has established various borrowing arrangements to provide additional sources of liquidity and funding. Management believes that the Bank currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to current demands. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Boston, and as such, has access to short- and long-term borrowings from that institution. The FHLB can change the advance amounts that banks can utilize based on a bank’s current financial condition as obtained from publicly available data such as FDIC Call Reports. Decreases in the amount of FHLB borrowings available to the Bank would lower its liquidity and possibly limit the Bank’s ability to grow in the short-term. Management believes that the Bank has adequate liquidity to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the above liquidity, the Bank has access to the Federal ReserveFRB discount window facility, which can provide short-term liquidity as “lender of last resort,” brokered deposits, and federal funds lines. The use of non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits and borrowings, by the Bank may be limited by regulatory agencies. Generally, the regulatory agencies prefer that banks rely on core-funding sources for liquidity.
From time to time, the Bank purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. At September 30, 2017,2018, the Bank had unused federal fund lines of credit totaling $495.0 million, compared to $435.0 million at December 31, 2017, with correspondent institutions to provide it with immediate access to overnight borrowings, compared to $485.0 million at December 31, 2016.borrowings. At September 30, 2017,2018, the Bank had $70.0$20.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the federal fund lines with these correspondent institutions andalong with an additional $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under federal fund lines with the FHLB. The Bank had $80.0$30.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the federal fund lines at December 31, 2016.2017. Certain liquidity sources, such as federal funds lines, may be withdrawn by the correspondent bank at any time especially in the event of financial deterioration of the institution.
The Bank has also negotiated brokered deposit agreements with several institutions that have nationwide distribution capabilities. The Bank participates in deposit placement services that can be used to provide customers to expanded deposit insurance coverage. At September 30, 2017,2018, the Bank had $562.5$860.1 million of brokered deposits outstanding under these agreements, compared to $738.3$780.2 million at December 31, 2016.2017.
If the Bank is no longer able to utilize the FHLB for borrowing, collateral currently used for FHLB borrowings could be transferred to other facilities such as the Federal Reserve’sFRB’s discount window. In addition, the Bank could increase its usage of brokered deposits. Other borrowing arrangements may have higher rates than the FHLB would typically charge.

Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 20172018 was $815.1$738.0 million, compared to $768.5$785.9 million at December 31, 2016, an increase2017, a decrease of $46.6 million, or 6%.$47.9 million. The increasedecrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of net income,the redemption of the Series D preferred stock, dividends paid, and the change in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), amortization of stock compensation, and the conversion of stock warrants, partially offset by dividends paid.net income.
The Company currently has one class of warrants to purchase common stock outstanding. These warrants were initially issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “TARP warrants”). As of September 30, 2017, 1,832,7552018, 1.0 million TARP warrants at a strike price of $8.00 per share were outstanding, before adjusting for dividends paid on the Company’s common stock in excess of $0.01 per share. The TARP warrants expire in November 2018.
As a bank holding company, The Company expects all of the CompanyTARP warrants to be exercised between now and the expiration date, as they are currently in-the-money. The number of shares of common stock to be issued, and the amount of cash to be received, from the exercise of the TARP warrants is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effectdependent upon the price of the Company’s common stock on the Company’s financial statements. For example, under capital adequacy guidelinesdate of exercise and whether the holder of the warrants being exercised elects a cash or cashless exercise.
The Company and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory guidelines. The Bank’s capital and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Similarly, the Company is also subject to capital requirements administeredrules issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve with respect to certain non-banking activities, including adjustments in connection with off-balance sheet items.

Under these rules, the Company and the Bank adopted the BASEL III regulatoryare each required to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital framework. Under BASEL III,to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0%, a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, subject to a transition schedule, these rules require the Company and the Bank were required to implement a new risk-weighted capital measure, common equity tier 1 (“CETI”), as well as a phased in capital conservation buffer. In addition, capital requirements for all banking organizations were increased. In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers,establish a capital conservation buffer must be heldof common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements. The new rules are phased-in through 2019.
