the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be effected by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets, which may lead to increased losses and nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our allowance for loan losses no longer being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to increase our allowance for loan losses; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; risks related to acquiring assets in or entering markets in which we have not previously operated and may not be familiar; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; results of examinations of us by the ~~Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of our~~ bank ~~subsidiary by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks or other regulatory authorities,~~regulators, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, initiate an enforcement action against the Company or our bank subsidiary which could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position, affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements on us, any of which could affect our ability to continue our growth through mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions and adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;

difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges; ~~failure~~disruptions, security breaches, or ~~security breach~~other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of ~~computer systems on which we depend;~~our critical processing functions; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to implement our growth strategies; our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we may acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames or at all, and any goodwill charges related thereto and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, which might be greater than expected;

The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operating results and stock price performance.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes be read with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 (“~~2016~~2017 Annual Form 10-K”). In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate based on the facts and circumstances at the time. Actual results, however, could differ significantly from those estimates.

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in the ~~2016~~2017 Annual Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those contained in the ~~2016~~2017 Annual Form 10-K, except for the accounting ~~policies for stock-based compensation~~policy relating to ~~the issuance of restricted stock units, including grants subject to performance-based and market-based vesting conditions,~~revenue from contracts with customers adopted January 1, ~~2017~~2018, as discussed below.

~~Stock-Based Compensation~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers

~~Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued to employees and directors, based on~~Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), as amended, was adopted by the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period, on a straight-line basis. Compensation cost for restricted stock units with market-based vesting is recognized over the service period to the extent the restricted stock units are expected to vest. With the adoption of FASB ASU 2016-09Company on January 1, ~~2017, forfeitures~~2018. ASC 606 applies to all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, except for contracts that are ~~recognized~~specifically excluded from its scope. The Company's revenues are primarily composed of interest income on financial instruments, such as ~~they occur.~~loans and investment securities, which are excluded from the scope of ASC 606. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope ASC 606, which are presented in Service Charges and Other Fees and Other Income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, are as follows:

Table of Contents

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The ~~market price~~Company earns fees from its deposit customers from a variety of deposit products and services. Non-transaction based fees such as account maintenance fees and monthly statement fees are considered to be provided to the customer under a day-to-day contract with ongoing renewals. Revenues for these non-transaction fees are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Transaction-based fees such as non-sufficient fund charges, stop payment charges and wire fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as the contract duration does not extend beyond the service performed.

Wealth Management and Trust Services: The Company earns fees from contracts with customers for fiduciary and brokerage activities. Revenues are generally recognized on a monthly basis and are generally based on a percentage of the ~~Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used to fair value the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated~~customer’s assets under management or based on investment or insurance solutions that are implemented for the ~~date~~customer.

Merchant Processing Services and Debit and Credit Card Fees: The Company earns fees from cardholder transactions conducted through third party payment network providers which consist of ~~grant using~~(i) interchange fees earned from the ~~Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain restricted stock unit grants are subject to performance-based vesting~~payment network as ~~well as other approved vesting conditions~~a debit card issuer, (ii) referral fee income, and cliff vest based on those conditions, and the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model include the expected term based on the valuation date and the remaining contractual term of the award; the risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury curve at the valuation date of the award; the expected dividend yield based on expected dividends being payable(iii) ongoing merchant fees earned for referring customers to the ~~holders; and~~payment processing provider. These fees are recognized when the ~~expected stock price volatility over the expected term based~~transaction occurs, but may settle on ~~the historical volatility over the equivalent historical term.~~a daily or monthly basis.

(d) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ~~Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update")~~ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (as amended by FASB ASU 2015-14; FASB ASU 2016-08; FASB ASU 2016-10 and FASB ASU 2016-12), was issued in May 2014. Under this Accounting Standard Update ~~FASB~~("ASU" or "Update"), the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") created a new Topic 606 which is in response to a joint initiative of FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards that would:

Remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements.

Provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues.

Improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets.

Provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.

Simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer.

The ~~original effective date for this Update was deferred in FASB ASU 2015-14 below.~~

~~FASB ASU 2015-14~~, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, was issued in August 2015 and defers the effective date of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 for certain entities. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is now permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company ~~expects to adopt~~adopted the revenue recognition guidance, as amended, on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from ~~net~~ interest income on financial assets, ~~and liabilities,~~ which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. With respect to noninterest income and related disclosures, the Company ~~is in its preliminary stages of identifying~~has identified and ~~evaluating~~evaluated the revenue streams and underlying revenue contracts within the scope of the guidance. The Company ~~is expecting to begin developing processes and procedures during 2017 to ensure it is fully compliant with these amendments. To date, the Company has~~did not ~~yet identified~~identify any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting ~~guidance; however,~~guidance. The adoption of the ~~Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing and such assessments may~~Update did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but the adoption did change ~~prior to the January 1, 2018 implementation date.~~certain disclosure requirements as described in Significant Accounting Policies above.

FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10), was issued in January 2016, to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This Update contains several provisions, including but not limited to 1)(1) requiring equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2)(2) simplifying the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3)(3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value; and 4)(4) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The Update also changes certain financial statement disclosure requirements, including requiring disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments be made on the basis of exit price. The Company adopted this Update is effective January 1, 2018 using the cumulative catch-up transition method. This change resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $93,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net to retained earnings for ~~public entities~~the unrealized gain related to the Company's equity security. The Company's processes and procedures utilized to estimate the fair value of loans receivable and certificate of deposit accounts for ~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the~~disclosure

requirements were additionally changed due to adoption of this ~~Update will have a significant impact on~~Update. Previously, the ~~Company’s statements~~Company valued these items using an entry price notion. This ASU emphasized that these instruments be measured using the exit price notion; accordingly, the Company refined its calculation as part of ~~financial condition or income. Management is in the planning stages of developing processes and procedures~~adopting this Update. Prior period information has not been updated to ~~comply~~conform with the ~~disclosures requirements~~new guidance. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~this Update, which could impact the disclosures the Company makes related to fair value of its financial instruments.~~Stockholders' Equity and Note (14) Fair Value Measurements.

FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), was originally issued in February 2016, to increase transparency and comparability of leases among organizations and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Update

~~Table of Contents~~

sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The Update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either a finance or operating lease. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. All cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Update is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates adopting the Update on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company expects to report increased assets and increased liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During 2017, management developed its methodology to estimate the right-of use assets and lease liabilities. The Company ~~is anticipating~~anticipates electing an exclusion accounting policy ~~to not recognize~~for lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company was committed to ~~$14.7~~$13.7 million of minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements at ~~December 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ~~amendment~~Update will have a significant impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~FASB ASU 2016-08~~, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations~~, was issued in March 2016 and it clarifies the implementation guidance of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 as it relates to principal versus agent considerations. The Update addresses identifying the unit of account and nature of the goods or services as well as applying the control principle and interactions with the control principle. The amendments to the Update do not change the core principle of the guidance. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.

~~FASB ASU 2016-09~~, ~~Stock Compensation (Topic 718)~~, issued in March 2016, is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments are required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Other amendments are applied retroactively (such as presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows) or prospectively (such as recognition of excess tax benefits on the income statement). The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur and this change resulted in a cumulative adjustment that was immaterial to all periods presented. Changes to the statement of cash flows have been applied prospectively and the Company recorded excess tax benefits in its income tax expense. Adoption of all other changes under this Update did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~FASB ASU 2016-10~~, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing~~, was issued in April 2016 which clarifies the implementation guidance of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 as it relates to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.

~~FASB ASU 2016-12~~, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-scope Improvements and Practical Expedients~~, was issued in May 2016. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.

FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was issued in June 2016. Commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), this Update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The amendment affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial asset not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology, which

~~Table of Contents~~

generally only considered past events and current conditions, with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses and required consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate all expected credit losses. The Update additionally addresses purchased assets and introduces the purchased financial asset with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination ("PCD"). The accounting for these PCD assets is similar to the existing accounting guidance of FASB ~~Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")~~ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, for ~~purchased credit impaired ("PCI")~~PCI assets, except the subsequent improvements in estimated cash flows will be immediately recognized into income, similar to the immediate recognition of subsequent deteriorations in cash flows. Current guidance only allows for the prospective recognition of these cash flow improvements. Because the terminology has been changed to a "more-than-insignificant" amount of credit deterioration, the presumption is that more assets might qualify for this accounting under the Update than those under current guidance. For public business entities, the Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted for fiscal years after December 15, 2018. An entity will apply the Update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities. An entity that has previously applied the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30 will prospectively apply the guidance in this Update for PCD assets. A prospective transition approach should be used for PCD assets where upon adoption, the amortized cost basis should be adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for credit losses. The Company is anticipating adopting the Update on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes, internal controls and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses which will also reflect the new requirement to include the nonaccretable principal differences on PCI loans; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the magnitude of the increase and its impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the current

FASB ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic ~~213)~~230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, was issued in August 2016.

The SEC staff view is that a registrant should evaluate FASB ASC Updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the updates on the financial statements when adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an update, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current accounting policies. Also, the registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. The amendments specifically addressed recent FASB ASC amendments to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses; Topic 842, Leases; and Topic 606, Revenueoutflows, respectively, from ~~Contracts with Customers; although, the amendments apply to any subsequent amendments to guidance~~investing activities in the ~~FASB ASC.

FASB ASU 2017-04, Goodwill (Topic 350), was issued in January 2017 and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments, an entity should perform its 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. The loss recognized, however, 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, if applicable. The Update is effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after

December 15, 2019 using a prospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the Update will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

FASB ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities was issued in March 2017 and changes the accounting for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date rather than to the maturity date. Accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change. The discount would continue to amortize to the maturity date. The Update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this Update in January 2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company had been accounting for premiums as prescribed under this guidance.

FASB ASU 2017-09, ~~Compensation--Stock~~Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting was issued in May 2017 to provide clarity as to when to apply modification accounting when there is a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.

The Company will apply this Update prospectively for any subsequent modifications of share-based payment awards.

FASB ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income was issued to address the income tax accounting treatment of the stranded tax effects within other comprehensive income due to the prohibition of backward tracing due to an income tax rate change that was initially recorded in other comprehensive income. This issue came about from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 ("Tax Cuts and Jobs Act") that changed the Company’s income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Update changed current accounting whereby an entity may elect to reclassify the stranded tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Update is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 although early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-02 effective December 31, 2017 and elected a portfolio policy to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the change in the federal corporate tax rate of the net unrealized gains on our available-for-sale investment securities from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net to retained earnings.

FASB ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 was issued to provide guidance on the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and allows for entities to report provisional amounts for specific income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and

Jobs Act for which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 was not yet complete but a reasonable estimate could be determined. A measurement period of one-year is allowed to complete the accounting effects under ASC Topic 740 and revise any previous estimates reported. Any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments included in an entity’s financial statements during the measurement period should be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to tax expense in the reporting period the amounts are determined. The Company adopted this Update with the provisional adjustments as reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company did not incur any adjustments to the provisional recognition.


(2)	Business Combination

On July 26, 2017, the Company, along with the Bank, and Puget Sound Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary bank, Puget Sound Bank, jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement. The Puget Sound Merger was effective on January 16, 2018. As of the acquisition date, Puget Sound merged into Heritage and Puget Sound Bank merged into Heritage Bank. The primary reason for the transaction was to create depth in the Company's geographic footprint consistent with its ongoing growth strategy, focused heavily on metro markets, and to achieve operational scale and realize efficiencies of a larger combined organization.

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, all outstanding Puget Sound restricted stock awards became immediately vested prior to the Puget Sound Merger and Puget Sound shareholders received 1.1688 shares of Heritage common stock per share of Puget Sound stock. Heritage issued an aggregate of 4,112,258 shares of its common stock based on the January 12, 2018 closing price of Heritage Common stock of $31.80 for total fair value of common shares issued of $130.8 million and paid cash of $3,000 for fractional shares in the transaction for total consideration paid of $130.8 million. Total consideration includes $851,000 representing 26,741 shares which were forfeited by the Puget Sound shareholders to pay applicable taxes.

The Puget Sound Merger resulted in $68.5 million of goodwill. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Puget Sound Merger constitutes a business acquisition as defined by FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. FASB ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Heritage was considered the acquirer in this transaction. Accordingly, the preliminary estimates of fair values of the Puget Sound assets, including the identifiable intangible assets, and the assumed liabilities in the Puget Sound Merger were measured and recorded as of January 16, 2018. Fair values on the acquisition date are preliminary and represent management’s best estimates based on available information and facts and circumstances in existence on the acquisition date. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation by the third quarter of 2018 when the valuation of tax-related matters is complete.

The operating results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include the operating results produced by the net assets acquired in the Puget Sound Merger since the January 16, 2018 merger date. The Company has considered the requirement of FASB ASC 805 related to the contribution of the Puget Sound Merger to the Company’s results of operations. The table below presents only the significant results for the acquired business since the January 16, 2018 merger date:

⁽²⁾ Includes the accretion of the discount on the purchased loans of $1.1 million and $1.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

⁽³⁾ All securities were sold with trade date of January 16, 2018 and settlement dates on or before February 14, 2018.

⁽⁴⁾ Excludes certain compensation and employee benefits for management as it is impracticable to determine due to the integration of the operations for this merger. Also includes certain merger-related costs incurred by the Company.

The Company also considered the pro forma requirements of FASB ASC 805 and deemed it not necessary to provide pro forma financial statements as required under the standard as the Puget Sound Merger is not material to the Company. The Company believes that the historical Puget Sound operating results are not considered of enough significance to be meaningful to the Company’s results of operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $551,000 and $5.0 million, respectively, related to the Puget Sound Merger.

Equity Securities

The Company holds an equity security with a readily determinable fair value of $162,000 and $146,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01, this security is no longer classified as investment security available for sale and has been reclassified to prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2018. As such, its presentation is not comparable to the presentation as of December 31, 2017. The Company recorded the tax-effected unrealized gain on the equity security through an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net and retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity during the six months ended June 30, 2018.


~~(3)~~(4)	Loans Receivable

The Company originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through FDIC-assisted and open bank transactions. Disclosures related to the Company's recorded investment in loans receivable generally exclude accrued interest receivable and net deferred fees or costs because they are insignificant.

Loans acquired in a business combination are further classified as “purchased” loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that not all contractually required payments will be collected are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. These loans are identified as "PCI" loans. Loans purchased that are not accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and are referred to as "non-PCI" loans.

Table of Contents

(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company categorizes loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio: commercial business, one-to-four family residential, real estate construction and land development and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and ~~potential problem~~criticized loans. The Company also conducts internal loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis and presents the results of these reviews to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by loan officers and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

~~Table of Contents~~

A discussion of the risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment is as follows:

Commercial Business:

There are three significant classes of loans in the commercial business portfolio segment: commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial real estate and non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate classes are both considered commercial real estate loans. As the commercial and industrial loans carry different risk characteristics than the commercial real estate loans, they are discussed separately below.

Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may include a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial and ~~Industrial~~industrial loans carry more risk than other loans because the borrowers’ cash flow is less predictable, and in the event of a default, the amount of loss ~~given default~~ is potentially greater and more difficult to quantify because the value of the collateral securing these loans ~~is more difficult to quantify.~~may fluctuate, may be uncollectible, or may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things.

Commercial real estate. The Company originates commercial real estate loans primarily within its primary market areas. These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans in that these loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate properties. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and payments on loans, and repayment is dependent on successful operation and management of the properties. The value of the real estate securing these loans can be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the economy. There is little difference in risk between owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans.

One-to-Four Family Residential:

The majority of the Company’s one-to-four family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in its primary market areas. The Company’s underwriting standards require that single-family portfolio loans generally are owner-occupied and do not exceed 80% of the lower of appraised value at origination or cost of the underlying collateral. Terms of maturity typically range from 15 to 30 years. The Company sells most of its single-family loans in the secondary market and retains a smaller portion in its loan portfolio.

Real Estate Construction and Land Development:

The Company originates construction loans for one-to-four family residential and for five or more family residential and commercial properties. The one-to-four family residential construction loans generally include construction of custom homes whereby the home buyer is the borrower. The Company also provides financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and, in selected cases, to builders for the construction of speculative residential property. Substantially all construction loans are short-term in nature and priced with variable rates of interest. Construction lending can involve a higher level of risk than other types of lending because funds are advanced partially based upon the value of the project, which is uncertain prior to the project’s completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of a completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, the Company’s estimates with regard to the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio may vary from actual results. As a result, construction loans often

Table of Contents

involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or refinance the indebtedness. If the Company’s estimate of the value of a project at completion proves to be overstated, it may have inadequate security for repayment of the loan and may incur a loss if the borrower does not repay the loan. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being dependent upon successful completion of the construction project, interest rate changes, government regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Consumer:

The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured. The underwriting process for these loans ensures a qualifying primary and secondary source of repayment. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are significantly influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited

~~Table of Contents~~

to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80%, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. The majority of consumer loans are for relatively small amounts disbursed among many individual borrowers which reduces the credit risk for this type of loan. To further reduce the risk, trend reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis.

The Company also originates indirect consumer loans. These loans are for new and used automobile and recreational vehicles that are originated indirectly by selected dealers located in the Company's market areas. The Company has limited its purchase of indirect loans primarily to dealerships that are established and ~~well known~~well-known in their market areas and to applicants that are not classified as sub-prime.

(b) Concentrations of Credit

Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within ~~Washington State and to a lesser extent Oregon. The Company’s~~its primary market areas which are concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Whatcom County to Clark County in Washington State and Multnomah County in Oregon, as well as other contiguous markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of (in order of balances at June 30, ~~2017)~~2018) non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate. As of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~,2017, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of the Company’s total loans.

Table of Contents

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans and (v) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

Grades 1 to 5: These grades are considered “pass grade” and include loans with negligible to above average but acceptable risk. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with the higher grades within the “pass” category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable

~~Table of Contents~~

payment performance to date. Increased monitoring of financial information and/or collateral may be appropriate. Loans with this grade show no immediate loss exposure.

Grade 6: This grade includes "Watch" loans and is considered a “pass grade”. The grade is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a potentially significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term.

Grade 7: This grade includes “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (“OAEM”) loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines and is intended to highlight loans with elevated risks. Loans with this grade show signs of deteriorating profits and capital, and the borrower might not be strong enough to sustain a major setback. The borrower is typically higher than normally leveraged, and outside support might be modest and likely illiquid. The loan is at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation.

Grade 8: This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, which the Company has determined have a high credit risk. These loans also have well-defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. The borrower may have shown serious negative trends in financial ratios and performance. Such loans may be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. Loans with this grade can be placed on accrual or nonaccrual status based on the Company’s accrual policy.

Grade 9: This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans to have excessive credit risk. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Additionally, these loans generally have a specific valuation allowance or have been partially charged-off for the amount considered uncollectible.

Grade 10: This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans have the highest risk of loss. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Loan grades are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, by the credit department. The Bank follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower, or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.

The loan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a pass grade may have some estimated inherent losses, but to a lesser extent than the other loan grades. The OAEM loan grade is transitory in that the Company is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of the potential loss. The likelihood of loss for OAEM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a Substandard grade are generally loans for which the Company has individually analyzed for potential impairment. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Company is almost certain of the losses, and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged-off to the realizable value.

Potential problem loans are loans classified as OAEM or worse that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which management is monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes concern as to their ability to meet their loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans may include PCI loans as these loans continue to accrete loan discounts established at acquisition based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30. Potential problem loans as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 were ~~$84.1~~$101.5 million and ~~$87.8~~$83.5 million, respectively. ~~The balance of potential problem loans guaranteed by a governmental agency, which guarantee reduces the Company's credit exposure, was $3.5 million and $1.1 million as of~~ ~~June 30, 2017~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2016, respectively.~~

(g) Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

A TDR loan is a restructuring in which the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. ~~TDRs~~TDR loans are considered impaired and are separately measured for impairment under FASB ASC 310-10-35, whether on accrual ("performing") or nonaccrual ("nonperforming") status. The Company has more stringent definitions of concessions and impairment measures for PCI loans as these loans have known credit deterioration and are generally accreting income at a lower discounted rate as compared to the contractual note rate based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30.

The majority of the Bank’s TDR loans are a result of granting extensions of maturity on troubled credits which have already been adversely classified. The Bank grants such extensions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and to develop a plan for repayment. The second most prevalent concessions are certain modifications with extensions that also include interest rate reductions. Certain ~~TDRs~~TDR loans were additionally re-amortized over a longer period of time. These modifications would all be considered a concession for a borrower that could not obtain similar financing terms from another source other than from the Bank.

The financial effects of each modification will vary based on the specific restructure. For the majority of the Bank’s TDR loans, the loans were interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity. If the interest rate is not adjusted and the modified terms are consistent with other similar credits being offered, the Bank may not experience any loss associated with the restructure. If, however, the restructure involves forbearance agreements or interest rate modifications, the Bank may not collect all the principal and interest based on the original contractual terms. The Bank estimates the necessary allowance for loan losses on ~~TDRs~~TDR loans using the same guidance as used for other impaired loans.

The recorded investment balance and related allowance for loan losses of performing and nonaccrual TDR loans as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 were as follows:

⁽²⁾

Includes subsequent payments after modifications and reflects the balance as of period end. As the Bank did not forgive any principal or interest balance as part of the loan modification, the Bank’s recorded investment in each loan at the date of modification (pre-modification) did not change as a result of the modification (post-modification)., except when the modification was the initial advance on a one-to-four family residential real estate construction and land development loan under a master guidance line. There were no advances on these types of loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Of the nine loans modified during the three months ended June 30, 2017, six loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $2.8 million had no prior modifications. Of the 18 loans modified during the six months ended June 30, 2017, 11 loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $4.0 million had no prior modifications. Of the eight loans modified during the three months ended June 30, 2016, three loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $61,000 had no prior modifications. Of the 25 loans modified during the six months ended June 30, 2016, ten loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $571,000 had no prior modifications. The remainingCertain loans included in the table above ~~for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were~~may have been previously reported as ~~TDRs.~~TDR loans. The Bank typically grants shorter extension periods to continually monitor these ~~TDRs~~TDR loans despite the fact that the extended date might not be the date the Bank expects sufficient cash flow from these borrowers. The ~~Company~~Bank does not consider these modifications a subsequent default of a TDR as new loan terms, specifically new maturity dates, were granted. The potential losses related to these loans would have been considered in the period the loan was first reported as a TDR loan and are adjusted, as necessary, in the current period based on more recent information. The related specific valuation allowance at June 30, ~~2017~~2018 was ~~$776,000~~$738,000 for loans that were modified as ~~TDRs~~TDR loans during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, two loans and six loans, respectively, defaulted because they were past their modified maturity dates, and the borrowers have not subsequently repaid the credits. The Bank has chosen not to extend the maturities on these loans.

On the acquisition dates, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows of the PCI loans exceeded the estimated fair value of the loan is the “accretable yield.” The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represents the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the PCI loans.

The following table summarizes the accretable yield on the PCI loans for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016.~~2017.

Similarly, no goodwill impairment charges were required, or recorded, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

(8)	Junior Subordinated Debentures

As part of the acquisition of Washington Banking ~~Merger,~~Company on May 1, 2014, the Company assumed trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures with a total fair value of $18.9 million at the ~~May 1, 2014~~ merger date.

Washington Banking Master Trust, a Delaware statutory business trust, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Washington Banking Company created for the exclusive purposes of issuing and selling capital securities and utilizing sale proceeds to acquire junior subordinated ~~debt~~debentures issued by the Washington ~~Banking.~~Banking Company. During 2007, the Trust issued $25.0 million of trust preferred securities with a 30-year maturity, callable after the fifth year by the Washington Banking. The trust preferred securities have a quarterly adjustable rate based upon the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.56%. On the ~~Washington Banking Merger~~merger date, ~~of May 1, 2014,~~ the Company acquired the Trust, which retained the Washington Banking Master Trust name, and assumed the performance and observance of the covenants under the indenture related to the trust preferred securities.

The adjustable rate of the trust preferred securities at June 30, ~~2017~~2018 was ~~2.86%~~3.90%. The weighted average rate of the junior subordinated debentures was ~~5.04% and 4.96%~~as follows for the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and 4.45% and 4.40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.~~ indicated periods:

	2018		2017		2018		2017
Weighted average rate ⁽¹⁾	6.28	%	5.04	%	6.01	%	4.96	%

⁽¹⁾The weighted average rate includes the accretion of the discount established at the merger date which is amortized over the life of the trust preferred securities.

The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust and payments under the junior subordinated debentures are the sole revenues of the Trust. At June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the balance of the junior subordinated debentures, net of unaccreted discount, was ~~$19.9~~$20.2 million and ~~$19.7~~$20.0 million, respectively. All of the common securities of the Trust are owned by the Company. Heritage has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the capital securities along with all obligations of the Trust under the trust agreements. For financial reporting purposes, the Company's investment in the Master Trust is accounted for under the equity method and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The junior subordinated debentures issued and guaranteed by the Company and held by the Master Trust are reflected as liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

(11)	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of these derivative contracts is primarily to provide commercial business loan customers the ability to convert their loans from variable to fixed interest rates. Upon the origination of a derivative contract with a customer, the Company simultaneously enters into an offsetting derivative contract with a third party in order to offset its exposure on the variable and fixed rate components of the customer agreement. The Company recognizes immediate income based upon the difference in the bid/ask spread of the underlying transactions with its customers and the third party, which is recorded in interest rate swap fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Because the Company acts only as an intermediary for its customer, subsequent changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

The notional amounts and estimated fair values of interest rate derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017 are presented in the following table.

(14)	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.

Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or valuations using methodologies with observable inputs.

Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques using unobservable inputs, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

(a) Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to measure the fair value of certain assets on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Investment Securities Available for Sale:

The fair values of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, fair values of investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using observable and unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Security valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for comparable assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

Impaired Loans:

At the time a loan is considered impaired, its impairment is measured based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair market value of the collateral (less costs to sell) if the loan is collateral-dependent. Impaired loans for which impairment is measured using the discounted cash flow approach are not considered to be measured at fair value because the loan’s effective interest rate is generally not a fair value input, and for the purposes of fair value disclosures, the fair value of these loans are measured commensurate with non-impaired loans. If the Company utilizes the fair market value of the collateral method, the fair value used to measure impairment is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value based on the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business (Level 3). Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis ~~for additional~~and impairment and is adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned:

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less ~~estimated~~ costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

~~Table of Contents~~

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers for commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the Company reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

Table of Contents

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company obtains broker or dealer quotes to value its interest rate derivative contracts, which use valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

The following tables summarize the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016~~2017.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Because broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

(15)	Stock-Based Compensation

On July 24, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the Heritage Financial Corporation 2014 Omnibus Equity Plan (the "Plan") that provides for the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (which includes restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance units, performance shares or bonus shares) and cash incentive awards. The ~~methods~~Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises and ~~assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:~~restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2018, shares that remain available for future issuance under the Company's stock-based compensation plans was 964,832.

~~Cash and Cash Equivalents:~~

~~The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value (Level 1).~~(a) Stock Option Awards

~~Federal Home Loan Bank~~ Stock:

~~FHLB~~ options generally vest ratably over three years and expire five years after they become exercisable or vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from date of grant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any compensation expense or related tax benefit related to stock ~~is not publicly traded; thus, it is not practicable to determine~~options as all of the ~~fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.~~

~~Loans Held for Sale~~:

~~The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts or quotes from third party investors for similar loans. (Level 2).~~

~~Loans Receivable~~:

~~Except for certain impaired loans discussed previously, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied~~compensation expense related to the ~~estimated life (Level 3). While these methodologies are permitted under U.S. GAAP, they are not based on~~outstanding stock options had been previously recognized. The intrinsic value and cash proceeds from options exercised during the ~~exit price concept of~~six months ended June 30, 2018 was $82,000 and $47,000, respectively. The intrinsic value and cash proceeds from options exercised during the ~~fair value required under FASB ASC 820-10,~~six months ended June 30, 2017 was ~~Fair Value Measurements~~$98,000 and ~~Disclosures~~$109,000, ~~and generally produce a higher value.~~respectively.

~~Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable~~:

The fair value of accrued interest receivable/payable balances approximates the carrying value. The fair value measurements are commensurate with the asset or liability from which the accrued interest is generated (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).

During 2017, the Company began issuing performance-based stock-settled restricted stock unit awards ("PRSU") and stock-settled restricted stock unit awards ("RSU"), collectively called "units". Restricted stock units granted vest ratably over three years. Performance restricted stock units granted generally have a three-year cliff vesting schedule. Additionally, performance restricted stock unit grants may be subject to performance-based vesting as well as other approved vesting conditions. The number of shares of actually delivered pursuant to the PRSUs depends on the performance of the Company's Total Shareholder Return and Return on Average Assets over the performance period in relation to the performance of the common stock of a predetermined peer group. The conditions of the grants allow for an actual payout ranging between no ~~contractual maturity,~~payout and 150% of target. The payout level is calculated based on actual performance achieved during the performance period compared to a defined peer group. The fair

value of such PRSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and will be recognized over the subsequent three years. The Monte-Carlo simulation model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model; however, it also further incorporates into the fair value determination the possibility that the market condition may not be satisfied. Compensation costs related to these awards are recognized regardless of whether the market condition is ~~assumed~~satisfied, provided that the requisite service has been provided.

Expected volatilities in the model were estimated using a historical period consistent with the performance period of approximately three years. The risk-free interest rate was based on the United States Treasury rate for a term commensurate with the expected life of the grant. The Company used the following assumptions to ~~equal~~estimate the ~~carrying value (Level 1).

The state B&O tax is a gross receipts tax and is calculated on the gross income from activities. It is measured on the value of products, gross proceeds of sale, or gross income of the business. A substantial portion of the preliminary findings relatedrequired to the receipt of FDIC shared-loss payments from the FDIC to Washington Banking Company in connection with its acquisitions of City Bank in April 2010 and North County Bank in September 2010. In their preliminary findings, the DOR is considering those payments as taxable for B&O tax purposes. The total amount of this preliminary finding, along with calculated back interest, is approximately $1.6 million. Management is in discussionsmaintain an average reserve balance with the DOR as to whether these payments should be taxable for B&O tax purposes. Given the uncertainty of the outcome of these discussions, management's estimates of the Company's ultimate liability, if any, involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information and an assessment of the validity of facts and calculations assumed by the DOR. Management does not believe a material loss is probable at this time and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of the Company as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The information contained in this section should be read with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included herein, and the December 31, ~~2016~~2017 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

Overview

Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly-owned financial institution subsidiary, Heritage Bank. We provide financial services to our local communities with an ongoing strategic focus on our commercial banking relationships, market expansion and asset quality. At June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we had total assets of ~~$3.99~~$4.79 billion and total stockholders’ equity of ~~$500.0~~$639.5 million. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the Bank’s operations.

Our business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small businesses and their owners in our market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. We also make real estate construction and land development loans and consumer loans. ~~The Bank also originates~~We additionally originate for sale or for investment purposes one-to-four family residential loans on residential properties located primarily in our markets.

Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense, which is the amount we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Like most financial institutions, our net interest income is affected significantly by general and local economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies. Net interest income is additionally affected by changes on the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on these assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on these liabilities.

Our net income is affected by many factors, including the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The allowance for loan losses reflects the amount that we believe is appropriate to provide for probable incurred credit losses in ~~its~~our loan portfolio.

Table of Contents

Net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income primarily consists of service charges and other fees, gain on sale of loans (net) and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, professional services and data processing. Compensation and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses ~~which~~ are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, and consist primarily of lease payments, depreciation charges, maintenance, and costs of utilities. Data processing consists primarily of processing and network services related to the Bank’s core operating system, including account processing systems, electronic payments processing of products and services, and internet and mobile banking channels.

Results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Other income and other expenses are also impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses primarily as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and marketing expense. Growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts affects other income, including service charges and other fees, as well as other expenses such as data processing services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses.

during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as well as a gain on sale of a previously classified purchased credit impaired loan in the amount of $3.0 million recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net Interest Income

One of the Company's key sources of earnings is net interest income. There are several factors that affect net interest income including, but not limited to, the volume, pricing, mix and maturity of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; the volume of noninterest bearing deposits and other liabilities and stockholders' equity; the volume of noninterest earning assets; market interest rate fluctuations; and asset quality.

Comparison of quarter ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 to the comparable quarter in the prior ~~year~~year.

Net interest income increased ~~$1.1~~$9.6 million, or ~~3.3%~~28.2%, to ~~$34.2~~$43.7 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared to ~~$33.1~~$34.1 million for the same period in ~~2016.~~2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increases in average interest earning assets primarily as a result of the Puget Sound Merger and, to a lesser extent, organic growth. Net interest income also increased due to increases in yields on interest earning assets as a result of higher short-term interest rates reflecting increases in the target federal funds rate over the last year. The following table provides relevant net interest income information for the dates indicated.

As of the dates of the completion of each of the merger and acquisition transactions, purchased loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, including our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. The difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value represents the purchased discount. The purchased discount is modified quarterly as a result of cash flow re-estimation. The incremental accretion income represents the amount of income recorded on the purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes.

Incremental accretion income was ~~$1.5~~$2.0 million and ~~$2.4~~$1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in the incremental accretion ~~was primarily a result of a continued decline in the purchased loan balances and a decrease in the prepayments of purchased loans~~ during the three months ended June 30, ~~2017 compared~~2018 was primarily due to the ~~same period~~accretion of the loans acquired in ~~2016.~~the Puget Sound Merger. The incremental accretion and the impact to loan yield will change during any quarter based on the volume of prepayments, but is expected to ~~continue to~~ decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans continues to decrease.

Total interest income increased primarily due to the increase in interest and fees on loans discussed above and ~~a $414,000,~~secondarily due to an $843,000, or ~~10.3%~~19.0%, increase in interest income on investment securities to ~~$4.4~~$5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 from ~~$4.0~~$4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2016 as~~2017. The increase in income on investment securities was primarily a result of an increase in investment yields, primarily reflecting the effect of the rise in interest rates on our adjustable rate investment securities, and secondarily to higher yields on new investment purchases for the three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 compared to the same period in ~~2016, offset partially by a decrease in the average balance of investment securities.~~2017.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Bank has established a comprehensive methodology for determining its allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense, and is reduced by loans charged-off, net of loan recoveries or a recovery of previous provision. The amount of the provision expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 was calculated in accordance with the Bank's ~~methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses.~~methodology. For additional information, see the section entitled "Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses" below.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on the Bank’s ability to manage asset quality and control the level of net charge-offs through prudent underwriting standards. In addition, a decline in general economic conditions could increase future provisions for loan losses and have a material effect on the Company’s net income.

~~Potential problem~~The following table reflects the changes in nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $84.1 million and $87.8 million, respectively. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which we are monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes concerns as to their ability to meet their loan repayment terms. Loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are both well secured and in the process of collection. The $3.7 million, or 4.2%, decrease in potential problem loans was primarily the result of net principal payments of $12.0 million, loans transferred to held for sale of $5.8 million, loans transferred to impaired status of $3.2 million, loan grade improvements of $2.2 million and loan charge-offs of $452,000, partially offset by the addition of loans graded as potential problem loans of $20.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

At June 30, 2018, nonaccrual loans of $7.8 million had related allowance for loan losses of $1.9 million and nonaccrual loans of $8.7 million had no related allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2017 nonaccrual loans of $3.8 million had related allowance for loan losses of $720,000 and nonaccrual loans of $6.9 million had no allowance for loan losses.

At June 30, 2018, nonperforming TDR loans, included in the nonaccrual loan table above, were $6.8 million and had a related allowance for loan losses of $726,000. At December 31, 2017, nonperforming TDR loans were $5.2 million and had a related allowance for loan losses of $379,000.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans. TDR loans are considered impaired and are separately measured for impairment whether on accrual or nonaccrual status. The performing TDR loans are not considered nonperforming assets as they continue to accrue interest despite being considered impaired due to the restructured status. Performing TDR loans decreased $800,000, or 3.0%, to $26.0 million at June 30, 2018 from $26.8 million at December 31, 2017.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The balance of the allowance for loan losses is maintained at the amount management believes will be appropriate to ~~provide for estimated~~absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The ~~adequacy of~~allowance for loan losses is determined by applying estimated loss factors to the ~~ALL is monitored through our ongoing quarterly loan quality assessments.~~credit exposure from outstanding loans.

We assess the estimated credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio by considering a number of elements including:

•~~Historical~~historical loss experience in the loan portfolio;

•~~Impact~~impact of environmental factors, including:


▪◦	~~Levels~~levels of and trends in delinquencies, ~~and~~ classified and impaired loans;


▪◦	~~Levels~~levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries;


▪◦	~~Trends~~trends in volume and terms of loans;


▪◦	~~Effects~~effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices;


▪◦	~~Experience,~~experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;


▪◦	~~National~~national and local economic trends and conditions;


▪◦	~~Other~~other external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory;


▪◦	~~Effects~~effects of changes in credit concentrations; and


▪◦	~~Other~~other factors

We calculate an appropriate ~~ALL~~allowance for loan losses for the loans in our loan portfolio ~~except PCI loans,~~ by applying historical loss factors for homogeneous classes of the portfolio, adjusted for changes to the above-noted environmental factors. We may record specific provisions for impaired loans, including loans on nonaccrual status and ~~TDRs,~~TDR loans, after a careful analysis of each loan’s credit and collateral factors. Our analysis of an appropriate ~~ALL~~allowance for loan losses combines the provisions made for our non-impaired loans and the specific provisions made for each impaired loan.

The allowance for loan losses on loans designated as non-PCI loans is similar to the methodology described above except that for non-PCI loans, the remaining unaccreted discounts resulting from the fair value adjustments recorded at the time the loans were purchased are additionally factored into the allowance methodology.

For the PCI loans, the acquisition date fair value incorporated our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are less than previously estimated, additional provisions for loan losses on the PCI loan portfolio will be recognized immediately into earnings. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are more than previously estimated, the increase in cash flows is recognized immediately as a recapture of provision for loan losses up to the previously recognized provision for that loan or pool of loans, if any, and then prospectively recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment.

While we believe we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A decline in national and local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review

by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional allowance for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Non-maturity deposits (total deposits less certificates of deposit) increased $28.8 million, or 1.0%, to $2.90 billion at June 30, 2017 from $2.87 billion at December 31, 2016. Certificate of deposit accounts increased $32.9 million, or 9.2%, to $390.3 million at June 30, 2017 from $357.4 million at December 31, 2016 due primarily to the ~~addition of $47.1 million of brokered certificates of deposit, which were used to supplement deposit growth in the funding of loan growth.~~merger date.

Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities and match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. The Bank is utilizing securities sold under agreement to repurchase as a supplement to its funding sources. Our repurchase agreements are secured by available for sale investment securities. At June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Bank had securities sold under agreement to repurchase of ~~$21.3~~$22.2 million, a decrease of ~~$849,000,~~$9.7 million, or ~~3.8%~~30.3%, from ~~$22.1~~$31.8 million at December 31, ~~2016.~~2017. The decrease was the result of customer activity during the period.

The Company also has junior subordinated debentures with a par value of $25.0 million which pay quarterly interest based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.56%. The debentures mature in 2037. The balance of the junior subordinated debentures was $20.2 million at June 30, ~~2017 was $19.9 million,~~2018, which reflects the fair value of the junior subordinated debentures established during the Washington Banking Merger, adjusted for the accretion of discount from purchase accounting fair value adjustment.

At June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Bank maintained credit facilities with the FHLB of Des Moines for ~~$623.8~~$838.1 million and credit facilities with the Federal Reserve Bank ~~of San Francisco~~ for ~~$46.5~~$58.1 million. The Company had FHLB advances outstanding of ~~$110.9~~$75.5 million and ~~$79.6~~$92.5 million at June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively. The average cost of the FHLB advances during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 1.93% and 0.86%., respectively. The Bank also maintains lines of credit with four correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaling $90.0 million as of June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. There were no federal funds purchased as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 or December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

We are required to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments and fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $124.2 million, or 3.1% of total assets. The fair value of investment securities available for sale totaled $790.6 million at June 30, 2017 of which $246.5 million were pledged to secure public deposits or borrowing arrangements. The fair value of investment securities available for sale that were not pledged totaled $544.0 million, or 13.6%, of total assets at June 30, 2017. The fair value of investment securities available for sale with maturities of one year or less were $5.7 million, or 0.1%, of total assets at June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Our primary sources of funds are customer and local government deposits, loan principal and interest payments, loan sales and interest earned on and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment

~~Table of Contents~~

securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Heritage Bank: The principal objective of the Bank’s liquidity management program is to maintain the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. The Bank monitors the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. In addition to liquidity from core deposits and the repayment and maturities of loans, the Bank can utilize established credit facilities and lines with correspondent banks or sale of investment securities.

Heritage Financial Corporation: The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. However, management believes that such restrictions will not have an adverse impact on the ability of the

Company to meets its ongoing cash obligations. At June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had cash and cash equivalents of $14.0 million.

We are required to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments and fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $129.9 million, or 2.7% of total assets. The fair value of investment securities available for sale totaled $873.7 million at June 30, 2018, of which $257.9 million were pledged to secure public deposits or borrowing arrangements. The fair value of investment securities available for sale that were not pledged totaled $615.8 million, or 12.9%, of total assets at June 30, 2018. The fair value of investment securities available for sale with ~~no stated~~ maturities of ~~$11.0 million.~~one year or less were $24.7 million, or 0.5%, of total assets at June 30, 2018.

Consolidated Cash Flows: As disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$44.0~~$29.7 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, and primarily consisted of net income of $21.1 million, net proceeds from origination and sale of loans held for sale of $11.7 million and net change in accrued interest receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3.5$20.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, net cash used in investing activities was ~~$107.5~~$34.3 million, which consisted primarily of net loan originations of ~~$114.4~~$96.1 million and purchases of premises and equipment of $16.7 million, offset partially by net ~~proceeds~~cash received from ~~purchase and sale~~acquisitions of ~~investment securities available for sale of $9.5~~$80.1 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$84.0~~$31.4 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, and primarily consisted of a net increase in deposits of ~~$61.6~~$70.0 million during the period, partially offset by net FHLB repayments of $17.0 million and ~~net FHLB advances~~dividends paid of ~~$31.3 million, offset partially by cash dividends on common stock of $7.5 million and repurchases of common stock of $674,000 during the period.~~$10.2 million.

Although new capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015, certain provisions of the new rule will be phased-in from the effective date through 2019, including, among others, a new capital conservation buffer requirement, which requires financial institutions to maintain a common equity capital ratio more than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. The new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased-in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will continue to increase by 0.625% on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. At June 30, 2017, the capital conservation buffer was 5.09% and 4.68% for the Company ~~and the Bank, respectively, and the minimum conservation buffer requirement was 1.25%.~~

~~Quarterly, the Company reviews the potential payment of~~has historically paid cash dividends to its common shareholders. ~~The timing and amount~~Payments of future cash dividends, ~~paid~~if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitation on our ~~common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition~~ability to pay dividends and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income. On July ~~25, 2017,~~24, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of ~~$0.13~~$0.15 per common share payable on August ~~24, 2017~~23, 2018 to shareholders of record on August ~~10, 2017.~~9, 2018.

The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Heritage Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and operations. Management believes as of June 30, 2018, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Company became subject to new capital adequacy requirements approved by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC that implement the revised standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Under the new capital requirements both the Company and the Bank are required to have a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%. In addition, both the Company and the Bank are required to have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 6.0% and a total risk-based ratio of 8.0%. Both the Company and the Bank are required to establish a “conservation buffer”, consisting of common equity Tier 1 capital of more than 2.5% above the minimum risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to ensure that banks build up capital buffers outside periods of stress which can be drawn down as losses are incurred. An institution that does not meet the conservation buffer will be subject to restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers. The conservation buffer is being phased in beginning in 2016 and will take full effect on January 1, 2019. Certain calculations under the rules will also have phase-in periods. The capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased-in on January 1, 2016 when more than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was required, and increases by 0.625% on each subsequent January 1, until it is fully phased-in on January 1, 2019. At June 30, 2018, the capital conservation buffer was 4.57% and 4.17% for the Company and the Bank, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

~~We do not~~Neither we, nor the Bank, maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, nor do we, or the Bank, engage in hedging activities or purchase ~~high-risk~~high risk derivative instruments. Moreover, neither we, ~~have no material~~nor the Bank, are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedure (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
