FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including statements that include terms such as ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘forecast,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘likely,’’ ‘‘optimistic’’ and ‘‘plan’’ and statements about future or projected financial and operating results, plans, projections, objectives, expectations, and intentions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, descriptions of plans and objectives for future operations, products or services; projections of our future revenue, earnings or other measures of economic performance; forecasts of credit losses and other asset quality trends; statements about our business and growth strategies; and expectations about economic and market conditions and trends. These forward-looking statements express our current expectations, forecasts of future events, or long-term goals. They are based on assumptions, estimates, and forecasts that, although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including:


economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit, and interest rate risks associated with our business;

·economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit, and interest rate risks associated with our business;
economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, particularly economic conditions within Michigan and the regional and local real estate markets in which our bank operates;
the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of, and provisions made to, our allowance for loan losses;

·economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, particularly economic conditions within Michigan and the regional and local real estate markets in which our bank operates;
increased competition in the financial services industry, either nationally or regionally;
our ability to achieve loan and deposit growth;

·the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of, and provisions made to, our allowance for loan losses;
volatility and direction of market interest rates;
the continued services of our management team; and

·increased competition in the financial services industry, either nationally or regionally;
implementation of new legislation, which may have significant effects on us and the financial services industry.

·our ability to achieve loan and deposit growth;

·volatility and direction of market interest rates;

·the continued services of our management team; and

·implementation of new legislation, which may have significant effects on us and the financial services industry.

This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this report, but the list is not intended to be all-inclusive.

In addition, factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations regarding the April 1, 2018 acquisition of TCSB Bancorp, Inc. include, but are not limited to, the reaction to the transaction of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties; customer disintermediation; inflation; expected synergies, cost savings and other financial benefits of the transaction might not be realized within the expected timeframes or might be less than projected; credit and interest rate risks associated with the parties' respective businesses, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment, and deposit practices; general economic conditions, either nationally or in the market areas in which the parties operate or anticipate doing business, are less favorable than expected; new regulatory or legal requirements or obligations; and other risks.

The risk factors disclosed in Part I – Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as updated by any new or modified risk factors disclosed in Part II – Item 1A of any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, include all known risks our management believes could materially affect the results described by forward-looking statements in this report. However, those risks may not be the only risks we face. Our results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and prospects could also be materially and adversely affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us that we currently consider to be immaterial, or that develop after the date of this report. We cannot assure you that our future results will meet expectations. While we believe the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date made. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update or alter any statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.
Preparation of Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 20172018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, and the results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.  The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.  Our critical accounting policies include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights and the valuation of deferred tax assets.rights.  Refer to our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a disclosure of our accounting policies.

2.
New Accounting Standards

In FebruaryJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”.  This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.  This ASU:

Replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance and establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost, which will reflect our estimate of credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the financial assets and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions.
Eliminates existing guidance for purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, and requires recognition of the nonaccretable difference as an increase to the allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets purchased with more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, which will be offset by an increase in the recorded investment of the related loans.
Requires inclusion of expected recoveries, limited to the cumulative amount of prior write-offs, when estimating the allowance for credit losses for in scope financial assets (including collateral dependent assets).
Amends existing impairment guidance for securities available for sale to incorporate an allowance, which will allow for reversals of credit impairments in the event that the credit of an issuer improves. Credit losses on securities available for sale are limited to the amount of the decline in fair value regardless of what the credit loss model would show for impairment.
Generally requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption.
Is effective for us on January 1, 2020.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

We began evaluating this ASU in 2016 and established a company-wide, cross-discipline governance structure, which provides implementation oversight. We continue to test and refine our current expected credit loss models that satisfy the requirements of this ASU. Oversight and testing, as well as efforts to meet expanded disclosure requirements, will extend through the remainder of 2019.  We expect that the allowance related to our loans will increase as it will cover credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the portfolio. We currently intend to estimate losses over approximately a two year forecast period using the Federal Open Market Committee median economic projections (which are typically published in March of each year) as well as considering other economic forecast sources, and then revert to longer term historical loss experience to estimate losses over more extended periods. We currently expect the increase in the allowance for loan losses to be in the range of $9.0 million to $11.0 million, primarily driven by the longer contractual maturities of our mortgage and consumer installment loan segments.  This estimated range is based on our September 30, 2019 loan portfolio and currently available economic forecasts. The mid-point of the range utilizes a two year forecast period and a two year reversion period. This estimated range also includes a qualitative adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, we currently expect this ASU to increase the allowance for losses related to unfunded loan commitments between $0.5 million and $1.5 million.  These estimates are subject to further refinement based on continuing reviews, testing, enhancements and approvals of models, methodologies and judgments. The ultimate impact will depend upon the nature and characteristics of our loan portfolio at the adoption date, the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date, further regulatory or accounting guidance and other management judgments.  We currently do not expect to record any allowance for loss on available for sale securities. The ultimate impact will depend upon the nature and characteristics of our securities available for sale (including issuer specific matters) at the adoption date, the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date, and other management judgments.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, ‘‘Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement’’. This new ASU amends disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The amended guidance eliminates the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance adds the requirements to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period and for recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and how the weighted average was calculated, with certain exceptions. This amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  This ASU amends existing guidance related to the accounting for leases. These amendments, among other things, require lessees to account for most leases on the balance sheet while recognizing expense on the income statement in a manner similar to existing guidance.  For lessors the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct finance leases. This amended guidance iswas effective for us on January 1, 2019 and isdid not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.  Based on a review of our operating leases that we currently have in place we do not expect a material change in the recognition, measurement and presentation of lease expense or impact on cash flow.  While theThe primary impact will bewas the recognition of certain operating leases on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition this impact is not expected to be material.

In June 2016,which resulted in the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurementrecording of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”.  This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financialright of use (“ROU”) assets and certain other instruments that are not measuredoffsetting lease liabilities each totaling approximately $7.7 million at fair value through net income.  This ASU will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For securities available for sale, allowances will be recorded rather than reducing the carrying amount as is done under the current other-than-temporary impairment model. This ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020.  We began evaluating this ASU in 2016 and have formed a committee that includes personnel from various areas of Independent Bank (the “Bank”) that meets regularly to discuss the implementation of the ASU.  We are currently in the process of gathering data and reviewing loss methodologies and have engaged third party resources that will assist us in the implementation of this ASU.  While we have not yet determined what the impact will be on our consolidated operating results or financial condition by the nature of the implementation of an expected loss model compared to an incurred loss approach, we would expect our allowance for loan losses (“AFLL”) to increase under this ASU.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)2019.  See note #16.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”.  This new ASU amends the hedge accounting model in Topic 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The amendments expand an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  This amended guidance iswas effective for us on January 1, 2019, and given our current level of derivatives designated as hedges is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, this ASU specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.  We adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective approach with no impact to our accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018.  Financial instruments for the most part and related contractual rights and obligations which are the sources of the majority of our operating revenue are excluded from the scope of this amended guidance.  Those operating revenue streams that are included in the scope of this amended guidance were not materially impacted.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under this ASU while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP.  The impact of the adoption of this ASU on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2018 is summarized in the table below.  In addition, see note #17 for further discussion on our accounting policies for operating revenue streams that are included in the scope of this amended guidance.

The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations follows:

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”.  This ASU amends existing guidance related to the accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities. These amendments, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset and eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. This amended guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.  As a result of the adoption of this ASU our equity securities previously classified as trading securities are now classified as equity securities at fair value on our September 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.  In addition, this amended guidance impacted certain fair value disclosure items (see note #12).

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business”.  This new ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses which distinction determines whether goodwill is recorded or not. This amended guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2018, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-4, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”.  This new ASU amends the requirement that entities compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, entities should perform their annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment if the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020 with early application permitted. Due to our recent acquisition (see note #16) and expectations this ASU will be relevant to us in 2018 we elected to adopt this amended guidance as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, ‘‘Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income’’. This new ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As a result, this amended guidance eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. This amended guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early application permitted in any period for which financial statements have not yet been issued.  We elected to adopt this amended guidance during the fourth quarter of 2017 and it resulted in a $0.04 million reclassification between accumulated other comprehensive loss and accumulated deficit.

Our portfolio of securities available for sale is reviewed quarterly for impairment in value. In performing this review management considers (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4) an assessment of whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned recovery criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

U.S. agency, U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency commercial mortgage backed securities — at September 30, 2018,2019, we had 5126 U.S. agency, 13398 U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed and 15eight U.S. agency commercial mortgage-backed securities whose fair market value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are largely attributed to increases in interest rates since acquisition and widening spreads to Treasury bonds. As management does not intend to liquidate these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Private label mortgage backed securities — at September 30, 2018,2019, we had 2712 of this type of security whose fair value is less than amortized cost. Unrealized losses are primarily due to credit spread widening and increases in interest rates since their acquisition.

Two private label mortgage-backed securities (included in the securities discussed(discussed further below) were reviewed for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”(‘‘OTTI’’) utilizing a cash flow projection. The cash flow analysis forecasts cash flow from the underlying loans in each transaction and then applies these cash flows to the bonds in the securitization. See further discussion below.

As management does not intend to liquidate these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no other declines discussed above are deemed to be other than temporary.

Other asset backed — at September 30, 2018,2019, we had 7240 other asset backed securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are primarily due to credit spread widening and increases in interest rates since acquisition. As management does not intend to liquidate these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions — at September 30, 2018,2019, we had 39359 municipal securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are primarily due to wider benchmark pricing spreads and increases in interest rates since acquisition. Tax exempt securities have been negatively impacted by lower federal tax rates signed into law in December, 2017. As management does not intend to liquidate these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Corporate — at September 30, 2018,2019, we had 32two corporate securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are primarily due to credit spread widening and increases in interest rates since acquisition. As management does not intend to liquidate these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Retail loans include mortgage and installment portfolioloan segments.
(2)
Included in non-performing loans table above.
(3)
Also includes loans on non-accrual at the time of modification until six payments are received on a timely basis.

We allocated $6.0$5.1 million and $6.8$5.6 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans generally included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan have generally been for periods ranging from 9 months to 36 months but have extended to as much as 480 months in certain circumstances. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date have generally been for periods ranging from 1 month to 60 months but have extended to as much as 230 months in certain circumstances.

Six commercial2019 and industrial loans with a recorded balance of $0.16 million that have been classified as troubled debt restructurings during the past twelve months (from September 30, 2017) subsequently defaulted during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.  These subsequent defaults resulted in an increase in the allowance of $0.02 million and $0.04 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively and resulted in charge-offs of $0.05 million during both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.  There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within twelve months following the modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for any other loan class.2018.

A loan is considered to be in payment default generally once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, we perform an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators – As part of our on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolios, we track certain credit quality indicators including (a) weighted-average risk grade of commercial loans, (b) the level of classified commercial loans, (c) credit scores of mortgage and installment loan borrowers, and (d) delinquency history and non-performing loans.

For commercial loans, we use a loan rating system that is similar to those employed by state and federal banking regulators. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 12. A description of the general characteristics of the ratings follows:

Rating 1 through 6: These loans are generally referred to as our “non-watch” commercial credits that include very high or exceptional credit fundamentals through acceptable credit fundamentals.

Rating 7 and 8: These loans are generally referred to as our “watch” commercial credits. These ratings include loans to borrowers that exhibit potential credit weakness or downward trends. If not checked or cured these trends could weaken our asset or credit position. While potentially weak, no loss of principal or interest is envisioned with these ratings.

Rating 9: These loans are generally referred to as our “substandard accruing” commercial credits. This rating includes loans to borrowers that exhibit a well-defined weakness where payment default is probable and loss is possible if deficiencies are not corrected. Generally, loans with this rating are considered collectible as to both principal and interest primarily due to collateral coverage.

Rating 10 and 11: These loans are generally referred to as our ‘‘substandard - non-accrual’’ and ‘‘doubtful’’ commercial credits. Our doubtful rating includes a sub classification for a loss rate other than 50% (which is the standard doubtful loss rate).  These ratings include loans to borrowers with weaknesses that make collection of debt in full, on the basis of current facts, conditions and values at best questionable and at worst improbable. All of these loans are placed in non-accrual.

Rating 12: These loans are generally referred to as our “loss” commercial credits. This rating includes loans to borrowers that are deemed incapable of repayment and are charged-off.

During the first and third quarters of 2018, we sold $16.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of single-family residential fixed and adjustable rate portfolio mortgage loans servicing retained to another financial institution and recognized a gain (loss) on sale of $0.05 million and ($0.01) million, respectively.  These mortgage loans were all on properties located in Ohio, had weighted average interest rates of 3.59% and 4.07%, respectively, and were sold primarily for asset/liability management purposes.

Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) Loans

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. In determining the estimated fair value of purchased loans, management considerswe consider a number of factors including, among others, the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and net present value of cash flows expected to be received. Purchased loans are accounted for in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer (ASC 310-30), when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows will result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges and then an adjustment to accretable yield, which would have a positive impact on interest income.

As a result of our acquisition of TCSB Bancorp, Inc. (“TCSB”) (see note #16)#17) we purchased loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. For these loans that meet the criteria of ASC 310-30 treatment, the carrying amount was as follows:

Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Common Share

On January 22,In December, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) to buy back up to 5% of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2018.2019.  In May 2019, we completed the repurchase of 5% of our outstanding common shares.  In June 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a 300,000 share expansion of the 2019 repurchase plan.  We expect to accomplish theany remaining repurchases through open market transactions, though we could affectexecute repurchases through other means, such as privately negotiated transactions.  The timing and amount of any share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, securities law restrictions, the trading price of our common stock, regulatory requirements, potential alternative uses for capital, and our financial performance. The Repurchase Plan does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at our discretion. We expect to fund any repurchases from cash on hand.  We did not repurchase anyDuring the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 repurchases were made totaling 1,204,688 shares and zero shares of common stock, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.respectively for an aggregate purchase price of $26.3 million and zero, respectively.

We use variable-rate and short-term fixed-rate (less than 12 months) debt obligations to fund a portion of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which exposes us to variability in interest rates. To meet our asset/liability management objectives, we may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates (“Cash Flow Hedges”).  Cash Flow Hedges included certain pay-fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate cap agreements.  Pay-fixed interest rate swaps convert the variable-rate cash flows on debt obligations to fixed-rates.  Under interest-rate cap agreements, we will receive cash if interest rates rise above a predetermined level. As a result, we effectively have variable-rate debt with an established maximum rate. We pay an upfront premium on interest rate caps which is recognized in earnings in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings.  Unrecognized premiums from interest rate caps aggregated to $2.3$2.4 million at September 30, 20182019 and $0.9$2.7 million at December 31, 2017.2018.

We record the fair value of Cash Flow Hedges in accrued income and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  On an ongoing basis, we adjust our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition to reflect the then current fair value of Cash Flow Hedges.  The related gains or losses are reported in other comprehensive income or loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings, as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the hedged items (variable-rate debt obligations) affect earnings.  It is anticipated that approximately $0.66$0.03 million, of unrealized gainslosses on Cash Flow Hedges at September 30, 20182019 will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months.  To the extent that the Cash Flow Hedges are not effective, the ineffective portion of the Cash Flow Hedges is immediately recognized in interest expense.  The maximum term of the Cash Flow Hedge at September 30, 20182019 is 5.04.0 years.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2019 we entered into a pay-fixed interest rate swap to protect a portion of the fair value of a certain fixed rate commercial loan commitment (“Fair Value Hedge”).  As a result, changes in the fair value of the pay-fixed interest rate swap is expected to offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate commercial loan commitment due to fluctuations in interest rates.  We record the fair value of Fair Value Hedges in accrued income and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  The hedged item (fixed rate commercial loan commitment) is also recorded at fair value which offsets the adjustment to the Fair Value Hedge.  On an ongoing basis, we adjust our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition to reflect the then current fair value of both the Fair Value Hedge and the hedged item.  The related gains or losses are reported in non-interest income – other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain financial derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments has been recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect their then current fair value. The changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into rate-lock mortgage loan commitments with customers (“Rate-Lock Commitments”).  These commitments expose us to interest rate risk.  We also enter into mandatory commitments to sell mortgage loans (“Mandatory Commitments”) to reduce the impact of price fluctuations of mortgage loans held for sale and Rate-Lock Commitments.  Mandatory Commitments help protect our loan sale profit margin from fluctuations in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of Rate-Lock Commitments and Mandatory Commitments are recognized currently as part of net gains on mortgage loans in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We obtain market prices on Mandatory Commitments and Rate-Lock Commitments.  Net gains on mortgage loans, as well as net income may be more volatile as a result of these derivative instruments, which are not designated as hedges.

In prior periods we offered to our deposit customers an equity linked time deposit product (“Altitude CD”).  The Altitude CD iswas a time deposit that provides the customer a guaranteed return of principal at maturity plus a potential equity return (a written option), while we receive a like stream of funds based on the equity return (a purchased option).  The written and purchased options will generally move in opposite directions resulting in little or no net impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  All of the written and purchased options in the table above relate to this Altitude CD product.

We have a program that allows commercial loan customers to lock in a fixed rate for a longer period of time than we would normally offer for interest rate risk reasons.  We will enter into a variable rate commercial loan and an interest rate swap agreement with a customer and then enter into an offsetting interest rate swap agreement with an unrelated party.  The interest rate swap agreement fair values will generally move in opposite directions resulting in little or no net impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  All of the interest rate swap agreements noted as commercial in the table above with no hedge designation relate to this program.

The $5.8 million and $28.3 million increases in the gross carrying amountA summary of core deposit intangibles and goodwill, respectively are the result of our acquisition of TCSB (see note #16).  There is no expected residual value relating to theestimated core deposit intangible asset which is expected to be amortized over a period of 10 years (weighted average of 5.2 years).  In the third quarter of 2018, goodwill was reduced by $0.7 million (to $28.3 million) related to the collection of a TCSB acquired loan that had been charged off in full prior to the Merger. Because of the status of the collection activities related to this loanamortization at the time of the Merger, we determined that this transaction was a measurement period adjustment and reduced goodwill accordingly.

Amortization of other intangibles has been estimated through 2022 in the following table.

Share Based Compensation

We maintain share based payment plans that include a non-employee director stock purchase plan and a long-term incentive plan that permits the issuance of share based compensation, including stock options and non-vested share awards. The long-term incentive plan, which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of additional share based awards for up to 0.5 million shares of common stock as of September 30, 2018.2019.  The non-employee director stock purchase plan permits the issuance of additional share based payments for up to 0.2 million shares of common stock as of September 30, 2018.2019. Share based awards and payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the requisite service period. Common shares issued upon exercise of stock options come from currently authorized but unissued shares.

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018A summary of restricted stock and 2017,performance stock units (“PSU”) granted pursuant to our long-term incentive plan we granted 0.05follows:

Our directors may elect to receive a portion of their quarterly cash retainer fees in the form of common stock (either on a current basis or on a deferred basis pursuant to the non-employee director stock purchase plan referenced above). Shares equal in value to that portion of each director’s fees that he or she has elected to receive in stock are issued each quarter and vest immediately.  We issued 0.0070.008 million shares and 0.0060.007 million shares during the nine monthsmonth periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, pursuant to this plan and expensed their value during those same periods.

Total compensation expense recognized for grants pursuant to our long-term incentive plan was $0.4 million and $1.1$1.2 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and was $0.4 million and $1.2$1.1 million during the same periods in 2017,2018, respectively.  The corresponding tax benefit relating to this expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively and $0.1 million and $0.4$0.2 million for the same periods in 2017.2018. Total expense recognized for non-employee director share based payments was $0.05$0.06 million and $0.16$0.18 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and was $0.05 million and $0.12$0.16 million during the same periods in 2017,2018, respectively.  The corresponding tax benefit relating to this expense was $0.01 million and $0.03$0.04 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively and $0.02$0.01 million and $0.04$0.03 million during the same periods in 2017.2018.

At September 30, 2018,2019, the total expected compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock and PSUs not yet recognized was $2.4$2.5 million.  The weighted-average period over which this amount will be recognized is 2.01.9 years.

A summary of weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the issue of stock options relating to the acquisition of TCSB (see note #16) during the second quarter of 2018 follows:

Expected dividend yield  2.62%
Risk-free interest rate  2.40 
Expected life (in years)  3.14 
Expected volatility  45.99%
Per share weighted-average fair value $13.25 

The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life was obtained using a simplified method that, in general, averaged the vesting term and original contractual term of the stock option. This method was used as relevant historical data of actual exercise activity was very limited. The expected volatility was based on historical volatility of our common stock.

Income Tax

Income tax expense was $2.9$3.1 million and $3.2$2.9 million during the three month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively and $7.0$8.0 million and $8.4$7.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.  On December 22, 2017, "H.R. 1" (also known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act") was signed into law.  H.R. 1, among other things, reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018 from 35% during 2017.

Our actual federal income tax expense is different than the amount computed by applying our statutory income tax rate to our income before income tax primarily due to tax-exempt interest income and tax-exempt income from the increase in the cash surrender value on life insurance.  In addition, the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 20182019 include reductions of $0.01 million and $0.33$0.18 million, respectively, of income tax expense related to the impact of the excess value of stock awards that vested and stock options that were exercised as compared to the initial fair values that were expensed.  These amounts during the same periods in 20172018 were $0.02$0.01 million and $0.23$0.33 million, respectively.

We assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against our deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard.  The ultimate realization of this asset is primarily based on generating future income.  We concluded at bothSeptember 30, 2019, September 30, 2018 and 2017,December 31, 2018 that the realization of substantially all of our deferred tax assets continues to be more likely than not.

At both September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had approximately $0.7$0.6 million, of gross unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease during the balance of 2018.2019.

Regulatory Matters

Capital guidelines adopted by federal and state regulatory agencies and restrictions imposed by law limit the amount of cash dividends our Bank can pay to us. Under these guidelines, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the Bank’s current year net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years. Further, the Bank cannot pay a dividend at any time that it has negative undivided profits.  As of September 30, 2018,2019, the Bank had positive undivided profits of $27.2$38.3 million.  It is not our intent to have dividends paid in amounts that would reduce the capital of our Bank to levels below those which we consider prudent and in accordance with guidelines of regulatory authorities.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

We are also subject to various regulatory capital requirements. The prompt corrective action regulations establish quantitative measures to ensure capital adequacy and require minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier 1, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, actions by regulators that could have a material effect on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, we must meet specific capital requirements that involve quantitative measures as well as qualitative judgments by the regulators. The most recent regulatory filings as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, categorized our Bank as well capitalized. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would have changed the most recent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) categorization.

On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve approved a final rule that establishes an integrated regulatory capital framework (the “New Capital Rules”). The rule implements in the United States the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  In general, under the New Capital Rules, minimum requirements have increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. Consistent with the international Basel framework, the New Capital Rules include a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets that applies to all supervised financial institutions.  The capital conservation buffer began to phase in on January 1, 2016 with 1.875% and 1.25% added to the minimum ratio for adequately capitalized institutions for 2018 and 2017, respectively and 0.625% will be added each subsequent year until fully phased in during 2019.  This capital conservation buffer is not reflected in the table that follows.  To avoid limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments we must meet the minimum ratio for adequately capitalized institutions plus the phased in buffer.  The rule also raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.  As to the quality of capital, the New Capital Rules emphasize common equity Tier 1 capital, the most loss-absorbing form of capital, and implement strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The New Capital Rules also change the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity.

Fair Value Disclosures

FASB ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. FASB ASC topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 instruments include securities traded on active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange, as well as U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets.

Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 2 instruments include securities traded in less active dealer or broker markets.

Level 3:  Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

We used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities:  Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities (equity securities at fair value trading or available for sale) are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 securities include certain preferred stocks included in our equity securities at fair value (trading securities as of December 31, 2017) for which there are quoted prices in active markets and US Treasuries (at December 31, 2017) in our securities available for sale portfolio.2018).  If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by (1) using quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, (2) matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, or (3) a discounted cash flow analysis whose significant fair value inputs can generally be verified and do not typically involve judgment by management. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and primarily include agency securities, private label mortgage-backed securities, other asset backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, trust preferred securities, corporate securities and foreign government securities.

Loans held for saleThe fair value of mortgage loans held for sale, carried at fair value is based on agency cash window loan pricing for comparable assets (recurring Level 2) and the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or fair value (December 31, 2018) is based on a quoted sales price (non-recurring Level 1).  The fair value of Loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or fair value at September 30, 2019 exceeded their cost and therefore were carried at cost and not included in the table that follows.

Impaired loans with specific loss allocations based on collateral valueFrom time to time, certain loans are considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. We measure our investment in an impaired loan based on one of three methods: the loan’s observable market price, the fair value of the collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance for loan losses represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, all of our impaired loans were evaluated based on either the fair value of the collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an appraised value or when an appraised value is not available we record the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.  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 the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments can be significant and thus will typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other real estateAt the time of acquisition, other real estate is recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Subsequent write-downs to reflect declines in value since the time of acquisition may occur from time to time and are recorded in net (gains) losses on other real estate and repossessed assets, which is part of non-interest expense - other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the property used at and subsequent to the time of acquisition is typically determined by a third party appraisal of the property. 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 the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate  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 us. Once received, an independent third party, or a member of our Collateral Evaluation Department (for commercial properties), or a member of our Special Assets/OREAssets Group (for residential properties) reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. We compare the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value of our properties to determine what additional adjustment, if any, should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. For commercial and residential properties we typically discount an appraisal to account for various factors that the appraisal excludes in its assumptions. These additional discounts generally do not result in material adjustments to the appraised value.

Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights:  The fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights is based on a valuation model used by an independent third party that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Certain model assumptions are generally unobservable and are based upon the best information available including data relating to our own servicing portfolio, reviews of mortgage servicing assumption and valuation surveys and input from various mortgage servicers and, therefore, are recorded as Level 3.  Management evaluates the third party valuation for reasonableness each quarter as part of our financial reporting control processes.

DerivativesThe fair value of rate-lock mortgage loan commitments is based on agency cash window loan pricing for comparable assets and the fair value of mandatory commitments to sell mortgage loans is based on mortgage backed security pricing for comparable assets (recurring Level 2). The fair value of interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements are derived from proprietary models which utilize current market data.  The significant fair value inputs can generally be observed in the market place and do not typically involve judgment by management (recurring Level 2). The fair value of purchased and written options is based on prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics and do not typically involve judgment by management (recurring Level 2).

For those items measured at fair value pursuant to our election of the fair value option, interest income is recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the contractual amount of interest income earned on these financial assets and dividend income is recorded based on cash dividends received.

The following represent impairment charges recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 relating to assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans had a carrying amount of $2.2 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.9 million at September 30, 2019, and had a carrying amount of $3.5 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $1.5 million at December 31, 2018.  The provision for loan losses included in our results of operations relating to impaired loans was a net expense of $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and a net expense of $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Other real estate, which is measured using the fair value of the property, had a carrying amount of $0.1 million which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.1 million at September 30, 2019, and a carrying amount of $0.2 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.1 million, at December 31, 2018. Charges included in our results of operations relating to other real estate measured at fair value were $0.07 million and $0.08 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, and were $0.04 million during each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.

·
Loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans had a carrying amount of $1.8 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.8 million at September 30, 2018, and had a carrying amount of $1.9 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.7 million at December 31, 2017.  The provision for loan losses included in our results of operations relating to impaired loans was a net expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three month periods ending September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and a net expense of $0.5 million for both nine month periods ending September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

·
Other real estate, which is measured using the fair value of the property, had a carrying amount of $0.1 million which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.1 million at September 30, 2018, and a carrying amount of $0.3 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.1 million, at December 31, 2017. Additional charges relating to other real estate measured at fair value of $0.04 million and $0.04 million were included in our results of operations during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively and $0.03 million and $0.04 million during the same periods in 2017.

In addition to the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs discussed above, at September 30, 2019 certain impaired collateral dependent installment loans totaling approximately $0.2 million are secured by collateral other than real estate.  For the majority of these loans, we apply internal discount rates to industry valuation guides.
(2)
In addition to the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs discussed above, at December 31, 2018, we had an impaired collateral dependent commercial relationship that totaled $0.7 million that was secured by collateral other than real estate. Collateral securing this relationship primarily included accounts receivable, inventory and cash at December 31, 2018. Valuation techniques at December 31, 2018, included discounting financial statement values for each particular asset type. Discount rates used ranged from 20% to 80% of stated values at December 31, 2018.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Most of our assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of these financial instruments lack an available trading market and it is our general practice and intent to hold the majority of our financial instruments to maturity. Significant estimates and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of judgment, and therefore, fair values may not be a precise estimate. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

As discussed in note #2, we adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2018.  This new ASU requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. All of estimated fair values of our financial instruments in the table below at September 30, 2018 have used this exit price notion.   In addition, except as discussed below in the net loans and loans held for sale section, all of our financial assets and liabilities have historically been valued using an exit price notion.  This new ASU also removes the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost.  The methods and significant assumptions for those financial instruments measured at amortized cost disclosed below are presented for fair values at December 31, 2017.

Estimated fair values have been determined using available data and methodologies that are considered suitable for each category of financial instrument. For instruments with adjustable interest rates which reprice frequently and without significant credit risk, it is presumed that estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balances.

Cash and due from banks and interest bearing deposits:  The recorded book balance of cash and due from banks and interest bearing deposits approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Interest bearing deposits - time:  Interest bearing deposits - time have been valued based on a model using a benchmark yield curve plus a base spread and are classified as Level 2.

Securities:  Financial instrument assets actively traded in a secondary market have been valued using quoted market prices.  Equity securities at fair value, trading securities and U.S. Treasury securities available for sale are classified as Level 1 while all other securities available for sale are classified as Level 2 as described in note #11.

Federal Home Loan Bank and FederalReserve Bank stock:  It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB stock due to restrictions placed on transferability.

Net loans and loans held for sale:  The fair value of loans at December 31, 2017 is calculated by discounting estimated future cash flows using estimated market discount rates that reflect credit and interest-rate risk inherent in the loans and do not necessarily represent an exit price. Loans are classified as Level 3. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described in note #11. Loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 as described in note #11.

Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The recorded book balance of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value and are classified at the same Level as the asset and liability they are associated with.

Derivative financial instruments:  The fair value of rate-lock mortgage loan commitments is based on agency cash window loan pricing for comparable assets, the fair value of mandatory commitments to sell mortgage loans is based on mortgage backed security pricing for comparable assets, the fair value of interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements is derived from proprietary models which utilize current market data whose significant fair value inputs can generally be observed in the market place and do not typically involve judgment by management and the fair value of purchased and written options is based on prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics and do not typically involve judgment by management. Each of these instruments has been classified as Level 2 as described in note #11.

Deposits:  Deposits without a stated maturity, including demand deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts, have a fair value equal to the amount payable on demand.  Each of these instruments is classified as Level 1.  Deposits with a stated maturity, such as time deposits have generally been valued based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using a discount rate approximating current market rates for liabilities with a similar maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other borrowings:  Other borrowings have been valued based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using a discount rate approximating current market rates for liabilities with a similar maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated debentures:  Subordinated debentures have generally been valued based on a quoted market price of similar instruments resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair values for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated to approximate their aggregate book balance, which is nominal and therefore are not disclosed.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business, the value of future earnings attributable to off-balance sheet activities and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

Fair value estimates for deposit accounts do not include the value of the core deposit intangible asset resulting from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

Contingencies

We are involved in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. At the present time, we do not believe any of these matters will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The aggregate amount we have accrued for losses we consider probable as a result of these litigation matters is immaterial. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of outcomes from any litigation matter, we believe it is reasonably possible we may incur losses in addition to the amounts we have accrued.  At this time, we estimate the maximum amount of additional losses that are reasonably possible is insignificant.  However, because of a number of factors, including the fact that certain of these litigation matters are still in their early stages, this maximum amount may change in the future.

The litigation matters described in the preceding paragraph primarily include claims that have been brought against us for damages, but do not include litigation matters where we seek to collect amounts owed to us by third parties (such as litigation initiated to collect delinquent loans). These excluded, collection-related matters may involve claims or counterclaims by the opposing party or parties, but we have excluded such matters from the disclosure contained in the preceding paragraph in all cases where we believe the possibility of us paying damages to any opposing party is remote. Risks associated with the likelihood that we will not collect the full amount owed to us, net of reserves, are disclosed elsewhere in this report.

In connection with the sale of Mepco Finance Corporation (“Mepco”) (see note #15), we agreed to contractually indemnify the purchaser from certain losses it may incur, including as a result of its failure to collect certain receivables it purchased as part of the business as well as breaches of representations and warranties we made in the sale agreement, subject to various limitations. We have not accrued any liability related to these indemnification requirements in our September 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition because we believe the likelihood of having to pay any amount as a result of these indemnification obligations is remote. However, if the purchaser is unable to collect the receivables it purchased from Mepco or otherwise encounters difficulties in operating the business, it is possible it could make one or more claims against us pursuant to the sale agreement. In that event, we may incur expenses in defending any such claims and/or amounts paid to such purchaser to resolve such claims. As of September 30, 2018 these receivables balances had declined to $2.1 million and to date the purchaser has made no claims for indemnification.

The provision for loss reimbursement on sold loans represents our estimate of incurred losses related to mortgage loans that we have sold to investors (primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHLB)Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis). Since we sell mortgage loans without recourse, loss reimbursements only occur in those instances where we have breached a representation or warranty or other contractual requirement related to the loan sale. The provision for loss reimbursement on sold loans was an expense of $0.05$0.03 million and $0.02$0.05 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017respectively and an expense of $0.08$0.18 million and $0.07$0.08 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The reserve for loss reimbursements on sold mortgage loans totaled $0.85 million and $0.67$0.78 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. This reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. This reserve is based on an analysis of mortgage loans that we have sold which are further categorized by delinquency status, loan to value, and year of origination. The calculation includes factors such as probability of default, probability of loss reimbursement (breach of representation or warranty) and estimated loss severity. We believe that the amounts that we have accrued for incurred losses on sold mortgage loans are appropriate given our analyses. However, future losses could exceed our current estimate.

We own 12,566 shares of VISA Class B common stock. At the present time, these shares can only be sold to other Class B shareholders. As a result, there has generally been limited transfer activity in private transactions between buyers and sellers. Given the limited activity that we have become aware of  and the continuing uncertainty regarding the likelihood, ultimate timing and eventual exchange rate for Class B shares into Class A shares, we continue to carry these shares at zero, representing cost basis less impairment. However, given the current conversion ratio of 1.6228 to Class A shares and the closing price of VISA Class A shares on October 17, 2019 of $177.94 per share, our 12,566 Class B shares would have a current “value” of approximately $3.6 million. We continue to monitor Class B trading activity and the status of the resolution of certain litigation matters at VISA that would trigger the conversion of Class B common shares into Class A common shares that would have no trading restrictions.

The disproportionate tax effects from securities available for sale arose due to tax effects of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in the presence of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and a pretax loss from operations.  Generally, the amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to operations is determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or loss, such as OCI. However, an exception to the general rule is provided when, in the presence of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, there is a pretax loss from operations and pretax income from other categories in the current period.  In such instances, income from other categories must offset the current loss from operations, the tax benefit of such offset being reflected in operations. Release of material disproportionate tax effects from other comprehensive income to earnings is done by the portfolio method whereby the effects will remain in AOCL as long as we carry a more than insubstantialinconsequential portfolio of securities available for sale.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On DecemberWe account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We derive the majority of our revenue from financial instruments and their related contractual rights and obligations which for the most part are excluded from the scope of this topic.  These sources of revenue that are excluded from the scope of this topic include interest income, net gains on mortgage loans, net gains (losses) on securities, mortgage loan servicing, net and bank owned life insurance and were approximately 84.7% and 83.1% of total revenues at September 30, 2016, Mepco executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Seabury Asset Management LLC (“Seabury”). Pursuant to the terms of the APA, we sold our payment plan processing business, payment plan receivables,2019 and certain other assets to Seabury, who also assumed certain liabilities of Mepco.2018, respectively.

Service charges on deposit accounts and other deposit related income: Revenues are earned on depository accounts for commercial and retail customers and include fees for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which includes services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges and ACH fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the time we fulfill our customer’s request.  Account maintenance fees, which includes monthly maintenance services are earned over the course of a month representing the period over which the performance obligation is satisfied. Our obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the closing, Mepco sold $33.1 millionoverdraft.

Interchange income: Interchange income primarily includes debit card interchange and network revenues.  Debit card interchange and network revenues are earned on debit card transactions conducted through payment networks such as MasterCard and NYCE. Interchange income is recognized concurrently with the delivery of services on a daily basis. Interchange and network revenues are presented gross of interchange expenses, which are presented separately as a component of non-interest expense.

Investment and insurance commissions:  Investment and insurance commissions include fees and commissions from asset management, custody, recordkeeping, investment advisory and other services provided to our customers. Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis at the time the services are performed and are generally based on either the market value of the assets managed or the services provided.  We have an agent relationship with a third party provider of these services and net payment plan receivables, $0.5 million of commercial loans, $0.2 million of furniturecertain direct costs charged by the third party provider associated with providing these services to our customers.

Net (gains) losses on other real estate and equipment and $1.6 million of other assets to Seabury, who also assumed $2.0 million of specified liabilities.repossessed assets:  We received cash totaling $33.4 million and recorded norecord a gain or loss in 2017 asfrom the assetssale of other real estate when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed.  If we were soldto finance the sale of other real estate to the buyer, we would assess whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction is probable.  Once these criteria are met, the other real estate asset would be derecognized and the liabilitiesgain or loss on sale would be recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.  There were assumed at book value.no other real estate properties sold during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 that were financed by us.

16.  Leases

We have operating leases, primarily relating to certain office facilities, some of which include renewal options and escalation clauses.  Certain leases also include both lease components (fixed payments including rent, taxes and insurance costs) and non-lease components (common area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.  Most of our leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion and are included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities if they are reasonably certain of exercise.  As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

17.  Recent Acquisition

Effective April 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TCSB through a merger of TCSB into Independent Bank Corporation (“IBCP”), with IBCP as the surviving corporation (the ‘‘Merger’’).  On that same date we also consolidated Traverse City State Bank, TCSB’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, into Independent Bank (with Independent Bank as the surviving institution).  Under the terms of the merger agreement each holder of TCSB common stock received 1.1166 shares of IBCP common stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares totaling $0.005 million.  TCSB option holders had their options converted into IBCP stock options.  As a result we issued 2.71 million shares of common stock and 0.19 million stock options with a fair value of approximately $64.5 million to the shareholders and option holders of TCSB.  The fair value of common stock and stock options issued as the consideration paid for TCSB was determined using the closing price of our common stock on the acquisition date.  This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  Accordingly, we recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values.  TCSB results of operations are included in our results beginning April 1, 2018.  Non-interest expense includes $0.1 million and $3.4 million of costs incurred during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively related to the Merger. Any remaining merger related costs will be expensed as incurred in future periods.

Management views the disclosed fair values presented above to be provisional.  Prior to the end offinal as the one-year measurement period for finalizing acquisition-date fair values if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are requiredhas expired.  During this measurement period we had one adjustment to the allocation, such adjustments will be included in the allocation in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Inour acquisition date fair values.  During the third quarter of 2018, goodwill was reduced by $0.7 million (to $28.3 million) related to the collection of a TCSB acquired loan that had been charged off in full prior to the Merger.  Because of the status of the collection activities related to this loan at the time of the Merger, we determined that this transaction was a measurement period adjustment and reduced goodwill accordingly.

Goodwill related to this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes and consists largely of synergies and cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of TCSB into ours as well as expansion into a new market.

The estimated fair value of the core deposit intangible was $5.8 million and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to certain receivables that were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date. The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, we believe that all contractual cash flows related to these financial instruments will be collected.  As such, these receivables were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  Receivables acquired that are not subject to these requirements included non-impaired customer receivables with a fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of $292.9 million and $298.6 million on the date of acquisition.

17.  Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method (see note #2). We derive the majority of our revenue from financial instruments and their related contractual rights and obligations which for the most part are excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09.  These sources of revenue that are excluded from the scope of this amended guidance include interest income, net gains on mortgage loans, net gains (losses) on securities, mortgage loan servicing, net and bank owned life insurance and were approximately 83.1% and 80.0% of total revenues at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Material sources of revenue that are included in the scope of ASC Topic 606 include service charges on deposits, other deposit related income, interchange income and investment and insurance commissions and are discussed in the following paragraphs.  Generally these sources of revenue are earned at the time the service is delivered or over the course of a monthly period and do not result in any contract asset or liability balance at any given period end.  As a result, there were no contract assets or liabilities recorded as of September 30, 2018.

Service charges on deposit accounts and other deposit related income: Revenues are earned on depository accounts for commercial and retail customers and include fees for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which includes services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges and ACH fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the time we fulfill our customer’s request.  Account maintenance fees, which includes monthly maintenance services are earned over the course of a month representing the period over which the performance obligation is satisfied. Our obligation for overdraft services is satisfied at the time of the overdraft.

Interchange income: Interchange income primarily includes debit card interchange and network revenues.  Debit card interchange and network revenues are earned on debit card transactions conducted through payment networks such as MasterCard and NYCE. Interchange income is recognized concurrently with the delivery of services on a daily basis. Interchange and network revenues are presented gross of interchange expenses, which are presented separately as a component of non-interest expense.

Investment and insurance commissions:  Investment and insurance commissions include fees and commissions from asset management, custody, recordkeeping, investment advisory and other services provided to our customers. Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis at the time the services are performed and are generally based on either the market value of the assets managed or the services provided.  We have an agent relationship with a third party provider of these services and net certain direct costs charged by the third party provider associated with providing these services to our customers.

Net (gains) losses on other real estate and repossessed assets:  We record a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed.  If we were to finance the sale of other real estate to the buyer, we would assess whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction is probable.  Once these criteria are met, the other real estate asset would be derecognized and the gain or loss on sale would be recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.  There were no other real estate properties sold during the nine months ending September 30, 2018 that were financed by us.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction. The following section presents additional information to assess the financial condition and results of operations of Independent Bank Corporation (“IBCP”), its wholly-owned bank, Independent Bank (the "Bank"“Bank”), and their subsidiaries. This section should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We also encourage you to read our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(“SEC”). That report includes a list of risk factors that you should consider in connection with any decision to buy or sell our securities.

Overview. We provide banking services to customers located primarily in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.  We also have two loan production offices in Ohio (Columbus and Fairlawn).  As a result, our success depends to a great extent upon the economic conditions in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. At times, we have experienced a difficult economy in Michigan. Economic conditions in Michigan began to show signs of improvement during 2010.  Generally, these improvements have continued into 2018, albeit at an uneven pace.  In addition, since early- to mid-2009, we have seen an improvement in our asset quality metrics. In particular, since early 2012, we have generally experienced a decline in non-performing assets, lower levels of new loan defaults, and reduced levels of loan net charge-offs.

Recent Developments. On December 22, 2017, "H.R. 1" (also known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act") was signed into law.  H.R. 1, among other things, reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result, we concluded that our deferred tax assets, net (“DTA”) had to be remeasured. Our DTA represents expected corporate tax benefits anticipated to be realized in the future.  The reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate reduces these anticipated future benefits.  The remeasurement of our DTA at December 31, 2017 resulted in a reduction of these net assets and a corresponding increase in income tax expense of $6.0 million that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

On December 4, 2017, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TCSB Bancorp, Inc. ("TCSB"(“TCSB”) (the "Merger Agreement"“Merger Agreement”) providing for a business combination of IBCP and TCSB.  On April 1, 2018, TCSB was merged with and into IBCP, with IBCP as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"“Merger”).  In connection with the Merger, on April 1, 2018, IBCP consolidated Traverse City State Bank, TCSB'sTCSB’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, with and into Independent Bank (with Independent Bank as the surviving institution).

We paid aggregate Merger consideration of approximately $64.5 million in IBCP common stock or stock options for all of the shares of TCSB common stock and TCSB stock options issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger. Based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger, we initially recorded: $29.0 million of goodwill, a core deposit intangible (“CDI”) of $5.8 million, discounts of $6.5 million, $0.4 million and $1.5 million on loans, time deposits and borrowings, respectively, and a $0.5 million write-down of property and equipment.  In the third quarter of 2018, goodwill was reduced by $0.7 million (to $28.3 million) related to the collection of a TCSB acquired loan that had been charged off in full prior to the Merger.  Because of the status of the collection activities related to this loan at the time of the Merger, we determined that this transaction was a measurement period adjustment and reduced goodwill accordingly. The goodwill will be periodically tested for impairment and the CDI will be amortized over a ten year period ($0.2 million and $0.4 million of amortization for this CDI was recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively).  The discounts will be accreted based on the lives of the related assets or liabilities.  On or before March 31, 2019, we will finalize the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger and record and disclose any additional adjustments to the preliminary valuation.

Regulation. On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule that establishes an integrated regulatory capital framework (the "New Capital Rules"). The rule implements in the United States the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).  In general, under the New Capital Rules, minimum requirements have increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. Consistent with the international Basel framework, the New Capital Rules include a new minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets that applies to all supervised financial institutions. The 2.5% capital conservation buffer is being phased in ratably over a four-year period that began in 2016.  In 2018, 1.875% is being added to the minimum ratio for adequately capitalized institutions.  To avoid limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments we must meet the minimum ratio for adequately capitalized institutions plus the phased in buffer (now 6.375% in 2018).  The rule also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations. As to the quality of capital, the New Capital Rules emphasize common equity tier 1 capital, the most loss-absorbing form of capital, and implements strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The New Capital Rules also change the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity.  Under the New Capital Rules our existing trust preferred securities are grandfathered as qualifying regulatory capital.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 we exceeded all of the capital ratio requirements of the New Capital Rules. See note #17.

It is against this backdrop that we discuss our results of operations and financial condition in the third quarter and first nine months of 20182019 as compared to 2017.2018.

Results of Operations

Summary.  We recorded net income of $11.9$12.4 million and $6.9$11.9 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.  The increase in 20182019 third quarter results as compared to 20172018 reflects increases in net interest income and non-interest income as well as decreases in the provision for loan losses and income tax expense that were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

We recorded net income of $29.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.  The increase in 2018 year-to-date results as compared to 2017 is due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income as well as a decrease in income tax expensethe provision for loan losses that were partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense.

We recorded net income of $32.6 million and $29.9 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.  The increase in 2019 year-to-date results as compared to 2018 is due to an increase in net interest income that was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and by increases in the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and in non-interestincome tax expense.

Net interest income.  Net interest income is the most important source of our earnings and thus is critical in evaluating our results of operations. Changes in our net interest income are primarily influenced by our level of interest-earning assets and the income or yield that we earn on those assets and the manner and cost of funding our interest-earning assets. Certain macro-economic factors can also influence our net interest income such as the level and direction of interest rates, the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates (the steepness of the yield curve) and the general strength of the economies in which we are doing business. Finally, risk management plays an important role in our level of net interest income. The ineffective management of credit risk or interest-rate risk, in particular, can adversely impact our net interest income.

Our net interest income totaled $29.7$30.9 million during the third quarter of 2018,2019, an increase of $6.8$1.2 million, or 29.6%4.0% from the year-ago period.  This increase primarily reflects a $516.2$246.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets as well asthat was partially offset by a 2515 basis point increasedecrease in our tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”).

For the first nine months of 2018,2019, net interest income totaled $82.6$91.9 million, an increase of $16.7$9.3 million, or 25.4%11.2% from 2017.2018.  This increase primarily reflects a $433.5$336.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets as well asthat was partially offset by a 21three basis point increasedecrease in our net interest margin.

Interest and fees on loans include $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 20182019, respectively, and include $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, of accretion of the discount recorded on loans acquired in the Merger.

The increase in average interest-earning assets primarily reflects loan growth utilizing funds from increases in deposits and borrowed funds as well as the impact of the Merger.Merger (for the year-to-date comparative periods).  The increasedecrease in the net interest margin reflects a change in the miximpact of average-interest earning assets (higher percentage of loans), increases in short-termlower market interest rates and the impacta flattening of the Merger. yield curve during 2019.

Our net interest income is also adversely impacted by our level of non-accrual loans.  In the third quarter and first nine months of 20182019 non-accrual loans averaged $9.2$6.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, compared to $8.6$9.2 million and $9.7$8.1 million, respectively for the same periods in 2017.2018.  In addition, in the third quarter and first nine months of 20182019 we had net (charge-offs)/recoveries of $(0.01)$0.23 million and $0.35$0.66 million, respectively, of unpaid interest on loans placed on or taken off non-accrual during each period or on loans previously charged-off compared to net (charge-offs)/recoveries of $0.28$(0.01) million and $0.90$0.35 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2017.2018.

Provision for loan losses.  The provision for loan losses was a credit of $0.1$0.3 million and an expense $0.6$0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the provision was an expense of $0.9$1.0 million and $0.8$0.9 million, respectively. The provision reflects our assessment of the allowance for loan losses taking into consideration factors such as loan growth, loan mix, levels of non-performing and classified loans and loan net charge-offs.  While we use relevant information to recognize losses on loans, additional provisions for related losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, customer circumstances and other credit risk factors.  See “Portfolio Loans and asset quality” for a discussion of the various components of the allowance for loan losses and their impact on the provision for loan losses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018.2019.

Non-interest income.  Non-interest income is a significant element in assessing our results of operations. Non-interest income totaled $11.8$12.3 million during the third quarter of 20182019 compared to $10.3$11.8 million in 2017.2018.  For the first nine months of 20182019 non-interest income totaled $35.9$32.1 million compared to $31.1$35.9 million for the first nine months of 2017.  We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method.  Although ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on our January 1, 2018 shareholders’ equity or third quarter and year-to-date 2018 net income, it did result in a classification change in non-interest income and non-interest expense as compared to the prior year period.  Specifically, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, interchange income and interchange expense each increased by $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, due to classification changes under ASU 2014-09 (also see notes #2 and #17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this report).2018.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 as compared to 2017.2018.  These decreases were principally due to lower service charges on commercial accounts (due primarily to higher earnings credits) and a decrease in non-sufficient funds occurrences.

Interchange income increased on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 as compared to 20172018 due primarily to an increase in debit card transaction volume as well as the aforementioned impacttiming of ASU 2014-09.the receipt of a volume incentive from our debit card brand partner.  In 2019 this volume incentive ($0.2 million) was received in the third quarter; however, in 2018, the comparable volume incentive was not received until the fourth quarter.

The decreaseincrease in mortgage loans originated is due primarily to higherlower interest rates suppressingspurring higher mortgage loan refinance volumes. Mortgage loans sold increased due to a higher mix of salable loans in our origination volumes. Netvolumes, the rise in mortgage loan refinance activity and some portfolio mortgage loan sales that were completed during 2019. These factors resulted in net gains on mortgage loans decreasedincreasing in 20182019 as compared to 2017 due to a lower Loan Sales Margin as discussed below.2018.

7274

The volume of loans sold is dependent upon our ability to originate mortgage loans as well as the demand for fixed-rate obligations and other loans that we choose to not put into portfolio because of our established interest-rate risk parameters. (See “Portfolio Loans and asset quality.”) Net gains on mortgage loans are also dependent upon economic and competitive factors as well as our ability to effectively manage exposure to changes in interest rates and thus can often be a volatile part of our overall revenues.

Our Loan Sales Margin is impacted by several factors including competition and the manner in which the loan is sold. Net gains on mortgage loans are also impacted by recording fair value accounting adjustments.  Excluding the aforementioned fair value accounting adjustments, the Loan Sales Margin would have been 2.11%2.56% and 2.68%2.11% in the third quarters of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively and 2.21%2.29% and 2.83%2.21% for the comparative 20182019 and 20172018 year-to-date periods, respectively.  The decreaseincrease in the Loan Sales Margin (excluding fair value adjustments) in 20182019 was generally due to a narrowingwidening of primary-to-secondary market pricing spreads due to competitive factors throughout the mortgage banking industry (generally higher(lower mortgage loan interest rates and a declinean increase in refinance volume). The changes in the fair value accounting adjustments are primarily due to changes in the amount of commitments to originate mortgage loans for sale.

Net gains (losses) on securities were relatively nominal for allthe comparative quarterly periods.  We recorded a net gain of $0.3 million and a net loss of $0.1 million on securities for the periods presented.first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.  We recorded no net impairment losses in either 20182019 or 20172018 for other than temporary impairment of securities available for sale.  (See “Securities.”)See “Securities” below and note #3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated a loss of $1.6 million and income of $1.2 million and $0.001 million in the third quarters of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. For the first nine months of 2018,2019, mortgage loan servicing, net, generated incomea loss of $4.7 million as compared to income of $0.7$4.7 million in 2017.2018. The significant variances in mortgage loan servicing, net are primarily due to changes in the fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights associated with changes in mortgage loan interest rates (a decline in 2019 as compared to an increase in 2018) and expected future prepayment levels.  This activity is summarized in the following table:

At September 30, 20182019 we were servicing approximately $2.28$2.48 billion in mortgage loans for others on which servicing rights have been capitalized. This servicing portfolio had a weighted average coupon rate of 4.20%4.25% and a weighted average service fee of approximately 25.8 basis points. Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights at September 30, 20182019 totaled $23.2$16.9 million, representing approximately 101.468.2 basis points on the related amount of mortgage loans serviced for others.

Investment and insurance commissions represent revenues generated on the sale or management of investments and insurance for our customers.  These revenues were relatively comparable on a quarterly basis, but declined on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 as compared to 20172018.  The year-to-date decline in 2019 was primarily due primarily to reduced product sales.slower sales in the first quarter of 2019, principally reflecting market volatility and uncertainty.

Income from bank owned life insurance declined(“BOLI”) increased on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 compared to 20172018 reflecting a lowerhigher crediting rate on our cash surrender value. Our BOLI separate account is primarily invested in agency mortgage-backed securities and managed by PIMCO.securities. The crediting rate (on which the earnings are based) reflects the performance of the separate account.  The total cash surrender value of our bank owned life insuranceBOLI was $54.8$55.4 million and $54.6$55.1 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Other non-interest income increased on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 compared to 2017,2018, due primarily to increases in a variety of categories including:fees on interest rate swaps, merchant processing, and credit card related fees and earnings from limited partnerships (small business investment company and community/housing related investment funds).cards. The year-to-date increase in 2019 compared to 2018 is also due to $0.38 million of recoveries recorded in the first quarter of 2019 on TCSB loans that had been charged-off prior to the Merger.

Non-interest expense.  Non-interest expense is an important component of our results of operations. We strive to efficiently manage our cost structure.

Non-interest expense increased by $4.1$1.1 million to $26.7$27.8 million and by $11.7$1.8 million to $80.6$82.4 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017.  Many of our components of non-interest expense increased in 2018 due to the TCSB Merger.2018.

Compensation and employee benefits expenses, in total, increased $2.6$0.5 million on a quarterly comparative basis and increased $5.4$2.4 million for the first nine months of 20182019 compared to the same periods in 2017.2018.

Compensation expense increased by $1.1$0.7 million and $1.2$2.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018,2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017.2018.  The third quarterquarterly and year-over-year increases wereyear-to-date comparative increase in 2019 is primarily due to salary increases that were predominantly effective on January 1, 2019 and growth in the TCSB Merger as well as annual compensation increases instituted atnumber of full-time equivalent employees.  The year-to-date comparative increase in 2019 also reflects the startimpact of the year.  The increase on a year to date comparative basis was reduced because the first quarter of 2017 included some one-time compensation costs related to the expansion of our mortgage banking operations as well as a reduction in personnel associated with the sale of our payment plan processing business (Mepco Finance Corporation) in May 2017.Merger.

Performance-based compensation increaseddecreased by $0.6$0.1 million and $2.4$1.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018,2019, respectively, versus the same periods in 2017,2018, due primarily to relative comparative changes in the accrual for anticipated incentive compensation based on our estimated full-year performance as compared to goals.  In addition, we introduced a new incentive compensation plan for hourly employees in 2018 that increased performance-based compensation.

7577

Payroll taxes and employee benefits decreased by $0.2 million and increased by $0.9 million and $1.8$1.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018,2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017,2018.  The quarterly comparative decrease is due primarily to a decline in health care costs.  The year-to-date comparative increase is due primarily to increases in payroll taxes (due to the aforementioned increases in compensation), higher health care costs (due to increased claims in 2018 somethe first six months of which may be reimbursed prior to year end from a stop-loss reinsurance policy)2019), payroll taxes and higher 401(k) plan costs (due to an increase in the employer match percentage).workers’ compensation insurance costs.

Occupancy, net, increased by $0.3 millionfurniture, fixtures and $0.6 millionequipment, communications, legal and professional, supplies, and credit card and bank service fees expenses were all relatively unchanged on a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively,2019 as compared to the same periods in 2017, principally due to additional locations acquired in the TCSB Merger and additional loan production offices opened during 2017.2018.

Data processing expenses increased by $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The third quarter and year-to-date 2018 increases are primarily due to the TCSB Merger.  We completed the conversion of TCSB loan and deposit accounts onto our core systems in June 2018.

Merger related expenses totaled $0.1 million and $3.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively.  These expenses include our investment banking fees, certain accounting and legal costs, various contract termination fees, data processing conversion costs, payments made on officer change-in-control contracts, and employee severance costs.  We do not expect to have any remaining TCSB Merger related expenses after the third quarter of 2018.

Furniture, fixtures and equipment, communications, advertising, legal and professional and supplies expenses were relatively comparable on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis in 20182019 as compared to 2017.2018.  These increases were due primarily to several new products or services implemented in 2019 as well as increases in mobile-banking related costs (due to higher usage) and certain software licensing costs (due principally to more users).

Interchange expense primarily represents our third-party cost to process debit card transactions.  This cost increased in 20182019 on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis as compared to 2018 due primarily principally to the impact of the implementation of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018.  Prior to the first quarter of 2018, certain processing costs were being netted against interchange income.  As described above, under ASU 2014-09 these costs are no longer being netted against interchange income but instead are being reported as part of interchange expense.an increase in transaction volume.

Loan and collection expenses reflect costs related to new lending activity as well as the management and collection of non-performing loans and other problem credits.  The year-to-date comparative increase isincreased expenses in 2019 as compared to 2018 primarily because the first quarter of 2017 included a $0.2 million reimbursementreflects lower recoveries of previously incurred collection expenses related to the resolutionon non-performing and payoff of a non-accrual loan.previously charged-off loans.

FDIC deposit insurance expenseTotal advertising expenses increased in 20182019 on both a comparative quarterly and year-to-date basis as compared to 2018 due primarily to ouran increase in total assets.outdoor (billboard) advertising.

The amortization of intangible assets relates to the TCSB Merger and prior branch acquisitions and the amortization of the deposit customer relationship value, including core deposit value, which was acquired in connection with those acquisitions. We had remaining unamortized intangible assets of $6.7$5.6 million and $1.6$6.4 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. See note #7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a schedule of future amortization of intangible assets.

FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased in 2019 on a comparative quarterly basis and was relatively unchanged on a year-to-date basis. This quarterly decrease is related to the use of our Small Bank Assessment Credit (the “Assessment Credit”).  After the application of the Assessment Credit against the Company’s June 30, 2019 FDIC deposit insurance expense billing, approximately $0.4 million of Assessment Credit remains available to offset future expense.  Absent the use of the Assessment Credit, FDIC deposit insurance expense would be higher in 2019 due primarily to growth in our total assets.

The changes in cost (recoveries) related to unfunded lending commitments are primarily impacted by changes in the amounts of such commitments to originate portfolio loans as well as (for commercial loan commitments) the grade (pursuant to our loan rating system) of such commitments.

7678

Credit card and bank service fees decreased in 2018 on a comparative year-to-date basis primarily due to the sale of our payment plan processing business in May 2017.

The provision for loss reimbursement on sold loans was an expense of $0.03 million and $0.18 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, compared to an expense of $0.05 million and $0.08 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, compared to an expense of $0.02 million and $0.07 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively. This provision represents our estimate of incurred losses related to mortgage loans that we have sold to investors (primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis).  The small expense provisions in 20182019 and 20172018 are primarily due to growth in the balance of loans serviced for investors.  Since we sell mortgage loans without recourse, loss reimbursements only occur in those instances where we have breached a representation or warranty or other contractual requirement related to the loan sale.  The reserve for loss reimbursements on sold mortgage loans totaled $0.85 million and $0.67$0.78 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. This reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The changes in cost (recoveries) related to unfunded lending commitments are primarily impacted by changes in the amounts of such commitments to originate portfolio loans as well as (for commercial loan commitments) the grade (pursuant to our loan rating system) of such commitments.

Net (gains) losses on other real estate and repossessed assets primarily represent the gain or loss on the sale or additional write downs on these assets subsequent to the transfer of the asset from our loan portfolio. This transfer occurs at the time we acquire the collateral that secured the loan. At the time of acquisition, the other real estate or repossessed asset is valued at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the new basis for the asset. Any write-downs at the time of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  The gains in 2018 were primarily related to the sale of several residential properties.

Merger related expenses totaled $0.1 million and $3.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively.  These expenses included our investment banking fees, certain accounting and legal costs, various contract termination fees, data processing conversion costs, payments made on officer change-in-control contracts, and employee severance costs.

Other non-interest expenses increasedwere relatively unchanged in 20182019 on both a comparative quarterly basis and increased on a year-to-date basis as compared to 2018 due primarily to increasesan increase in several categories of expenses (directors’ fees, travel and entertainment, certain state franchise taxes, and deposit account/debit card fraud).fraud costs.

Income tax expense.  We recorded an income tax expense of $3.1 million and $8.0 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $2.9 million and $7.0 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2018, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $3.2 million and $8.4 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017, respectively. As described earlier under “Recent Developments” our statutory federal corporate income tax rate was reduced to 21% (from 35%) effective on January 1, 2018.

Our actual income tax expense is different than the amount computed by applying our statutory income tax rate to our income before income tax primarily due to tax-exempt interest income, tax-exempt income from the increase in the cash surrender value on life insurance, and differences in the value of stock awards that vest and stock options that are exercised as compared to the initial fair values that were expensed.

We assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against our deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard.  The ultimate realization of this asset is primarily based on generating future income.  We concluded at September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 and at December 31, 2017,2018, that the realization of substantially all of our deferred tax assets continues to be more likely than not.

Financial Condition

Summary.  Our total assets increased by $507.8$197.6 million during the first nine months of 2018 reflecting the TCSB Merger and organic loan growth.  The total assets, loans and deposits acquired in the TCSB Merger were approximately $343.5 million, $295.8 million (including $1.3 million of loans held for sale) and $287.7 million, respectively.

2019.  Loans, excluding loans held for sale ("(“Portfolio Loans"Loans”), totaled $2.56$2.72 billion at September 30, 2018,2019, an increase of $543.8$139.9 million, or 26.9%5.4%, from December 31, 2017.2018.  (See "Portfolio“Portfolio Loans and asset quality.")

Deposits totaled $2.80$3.05 billion at September 30, 2018,2019, compared to $2.40$2.91 billion at December 31, 2017.2018.  The $398.1$138.9 million increase in total deposits during the period is due primarily due to the TCSB Merger and growth in reciprocal deposits and brokered time deposits.

Securities.  We maintain diversified securities portfolios, which include obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies, securities issued by states and political subdivisions, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate securities, trust preferred securities and foreign government securities (that are denominated in U.S. dollars). We regularly evaluate asset/liability management needs and attempt to maintain a portfolio structure that provides sufficient liquidity and cash flow. Except as discussed below, we believe that the unrealized losses on securities available for sale are temporary in nature and are expected to be recovered.recovered within a reasonable time period. We believe that we have the ability to hold securities with unrealized losses to maturity or until such time as the unrealized losses reverse. (See “Asset/liability management.”)

Securities available for sale declined $86.0increased $11.7 million during the first nine months of 2018 primarily to fund growth in Portfolio Loans.2019.  Our portfolio of securities available for sale is reviewed quarterly for impairment in value. In performing this review, management considers (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4) an assessment of whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For securities that do not meet these recovery criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).  We recorded no impairment losses related to other than temporary impairment on securities available for sale in either of the first nine months of 20182019 or 2017.2018.

Portfolio Loans and asset quality.  In addition to the communities served by our Bank branch and loan production office network, our principal lending markets also include nearby communities and metropolitan areas. Subject to established underwriting criteria, we also may participate in commercial lending transactions with certain non-affiliated banks and make whole loan purchases from other financial institutions.  In March 2018 and July 2018, we sold $16.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively of single-family residential fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans servicing retained to another financial institution.  These mortgage loans were all on properties located in Ohio and were sold primarily for asset/liability management purposes.

The senior management and board of directors of our Bank retain authority and responsibility for credit decisions and we have adopted uniform underwriting standards. Our loan committee structure and the loan review process attempt to provide requisite controls and promote compliance with such established underwriting standards. However, there can be no assurance that our lending procedures and the use of uniform underwriting standards will prevent us from incurring significant credit losses in our lending activities.

We generally retain loans that may be profitably funded within established risk parameters. (See “Asset/liability management.”) As a result, we may hold adjustable-rate conventional and fixed rate jumbo mortgage loans as Portfolio Loans, while 15- and 30-year fixed-rate non-jumbo mortgage loans are generally sold to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. (See “Non-interest income.”) Due primarily to the expansion of our mortgage-banking activities and a change in mix in our mortgage loan originations, we are now originating and putting into Portfolio Loans more fixed rate mortgage loans than as compared to past periods.  These fixed rate mortgage loans generally have terms from 15 to 30 years, do not have prepayment penalties and expose us to more interest rate risk.  To date, our interest rate risk profile has not changed significantly.  However, we are carefully monitoring this change in the composition of our Portfolio Loans and the impact of potential future changes in interest rates on our changes in market value of portfolio equity and changes in net interest income. (See “Asset/liability management.”).  As a result, we have added and may continue to add some longer-term borrowings, may utilize derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps) to manage interest rate risk and may begin to attemptcontinue to sell some fixed rate jumbo and other  portfolio mortgage loans in the future.

Non-performing loans increaseddecreased by $1.2$1.9 million during the first nine months of 20182019 due principally to an increasea decline in non-performing commercial and mortgage loans. The increaseThis decline primarily reflects reduced levels of new loan defaults as well as loan charge-offs, pay-offs, negotiated transactions, and the migration of loans into other real estate. In general, stable economic conditions in our market areas, as well as our collection and resolution efforts, have resulted in a downward trend in non-performing loans.  However, we are still experiencing some loan defaults, particularly related to commercial loans primarily reflects one relationship moving into non-accrual in the second quarter of 2018.  Because of our collateral position, we do not expect any loss from the resolution of this loan relationship.secured by income-producing property and mortgage loans secured by resort/vacation property.

Non-performing loans exclude performing loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). Performing TDRs totaled $56.3$47.8 million, or 2.2%1.8% of total Portfolio Loans, and $60.1$53.1 million, or 3.0%2.1% of total Portfolio Loans, at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The decrease in the amount of performing TDRs in the first nine months of 20182019 primarily reflects pay downs and payoffs.

Other real estate and repossessed assets totaled $1.4$1.8 million and $1.6$1.3 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the addition of a $0.6 million commercial office building located in Grand Rapids, Michigan during the second quarter of 2019.

We will place a loan that is 90 days or more past due on non-accrual, unless we believe the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Accordingly, we have determined that the collection of the accrued and unpaid interest on any loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest is probable.

We had loan net recoveries in both the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 due primarily to recoveries on previously charged-off commercial loans.  The following tables reflect activity in and the allocation of the allowance for loan losses (“AFLL”).

Some loans will not be repaid in full. Therefore, an AFLL is maintained at a level which represents our best estimate of losses incurred. In determining the AFLL and the related provision for loan losses, we consider four principal elements: (i) specific allocations based upon probable losses identified during the review of the loan portfolio, (ii) allocations established for other adversely rated commercial loans, (iii) allocations based principally on historical loan loss experience, and (iv) additional allowances based on subjective factors, including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size and/or the general terms of the loan portfolios.

8284

The first AFLL element (specific allocations) reflects our estimate of probable incurred losses based upon our systematic review of specific loans. These estimates are based upon a number of factors, such as payment history, financial condition of the borrower, discounted collateral exposure and discounted cash flow analysis. Impaired commercial, mortgage and installment loans are allocated AFLL amounts using this first element. The second AFLL element (other adversely rated commercial loans) reflects the application of our commercial loan rating system. This rating system is similar to those employed by state and federal banking regulators. Commercial loans that are rated below a certain predetermined classification are assigned a loss allocation factor for each loan classification category that is based upon a historical analysis of both the probability of default and the expected loss rate (“loss given default”). The lower the rating assigned to a loan or category, the greater the allocation percentage that is applied. The third AFLL element (historical loss allocations) is determined by assigning allocations to higher rated (“non-watch credit”) commercial loans using a probability of default and loss given default similar to the second AFLL element and to homogenous mortgage and installment loan groups based upon borrower credit score and portfolio segment.  For homogenous mortgage and installment loans a probability of default for each homogenous pool is calculated by way of credit score migration.  Historical loss data for each homogenous pool coupled with the associated probability of default is utilized to calculate an expected loss allocation rate.  The fourth AFLL element (additional allocations based on subjective factors) is based on factors that cannot be associated with a specific credit or loan category and reflects our attempt to ensure that the overall AFLL appropriately reflects a margin for the imprecision necessarily inherent in the estimates of expected credit losses. We consider a number of subjective factors when determining this fourth element, including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size, mix and the general terms of the overall loan portfolio.

No allowance for loan losses was brought forward on any of the TCSB acquired loans as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. An allowance for loan losses will be established for any subsequent credit deterioration or adverse changes in expected cash flows.

Increases in the AFLL are recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Although we periodically allocate portions of the AFLL to specific loans and loan portfolios, the entire AFLL is available for incurred losses. We generally charge-off commercial, homogenous residential mortgage and installment loans when they are deemed uncollectible or reach a predetermined number of days past due based on product, industry practice and other factors. Collection efforts may continue and recoveries may occur after a loan is charged against the AFLL.

While we use relevant information to recognize losses on loans, additional provisions for related losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, customer circumstances and other credit risk factors.

The allowance for loan lossesAFLL increased $1.8$1.3 million to $24.4$26.1 million at September 30, 20182019 from $22.6$24.9 million at December 31, 20172018 and was equal to 0.95% (1.06% when excluding TCSB acquired loans)0.96% of total Portfolio Loans at both September 30, 2018 compared to 1.12% at2019 and December 31, 2017.2018, respectively.

ThreeDuring the first quarter of 2019, we deployed a third-party software solution (we previously used spreadsheet software) to assist in the determination of our AFLL.  This new third-party software will also assist us in moving to the expected loss framework that is required to be implemented on January 1, 2020.  Although the use of this new third-party software did not have any material impact on our overall AFLL, it did result in some classification shifts from the AFLL related to subjective factors into the AFLL related to historical losses as the new software model allowed us to capture longer historical look-back periods (previously this was being captured in the subjective portion of the AFLL).

Two of the four components of the allowance for loan lossesAFLL outlined above increased induring the first nine months of 2018.2019. The allowance for loan lossesAFLL related to specific loans decreased $0.7$0.5 million in 2018during the first nine months of 2019 due primarily to a $4.9 million decline in the balanceamount of individually impaired loans and charge-offs.such loans.  The allowance for loan lossesAFLL related to other adversely rated commercial loans increased $0.7$1.2 million in 2018during the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to an increase in the balance of such loans included in this component to $37.5$67.2 million at September 30, 20182019 from $27.2$44.7 million at December 31, 20172018.  The increase in other adversely rated commercial loans was primarily in early watch credit categories and $23.2 million at September 30, 2017.these loans are largely performing.  We do not believe that we will experience any significant loan losses as a result of this rise in other adversely rated commercial loans.  The allowance for loan lossesAFLL related to historical losses increased $0.5$1.0 million during 2018 due principally to loan growth.  The allowance for loan losses related to subjective factors increased $1.4 million during 2018 primarily due to loan growth.

Three of the four components of the allowance for loan losses outlined above also increased in the first nine months of 2017.  The allowance for loan losses related to specific loans decreased $2.1 million in 2017 due primarily to a decline in2019, and the balance of individually impaired loans as well as charge-offs.  In particular, we received a full payoff in March 2017 on a commercial loan that had a specific reserve of $1.2 million at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses related to other adversely rated commercial loans increased $0.3 million in 2017 primarily due to an increase in the balance of such loans included in this component to $23.2 million at September 30, 2017 from $11.8 million at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses related to historical losses increased $1.6 million during 2017 due principally to slight upward adjustments in our probability of default and expected loss rates for commercial loans, an additional component of approximately $0.6 million added for loans secured by commercial real estate due primarily to emerging risks in this sector (such as retail store closings and potential overdevelopment in certain markets) and loan growth. We also extended our historical lookback period to be more representative of the probability of default and account for infrequent migration events and extremely low levels of watch credits.  The allowance for loan lossesAFLL related to subjective factors increased $1.4decreased $0.3 million during 2017 primarilythe first nine months of 2019, due in part to the classification shifts discussed above, as well as loan growth.growth, for the AFLL related to historical losses.

Deposits and borrowings.  Historically, the loyalty of our customer base has allowed us to price deposits competitively, contributing to a net interest margin that compares favorably to our peers. However, we still face a significant amount of competition for deposits within many of the markets served by our branch network, which limits our ability to materially increase deposits without adversely impacting the weighted-average cost of core deposits.

To attract new core deposits, we have implemented various account acquisition strategies as well as branch staff sales training. Account acquisition initiatives have historically generated increases in customer relationships. Over the past several years, we have also expanded our treasury management products and services for commercial businesses and municipalities or other governmental units and have also increased our sales calling efforts in order to attract additional deposit relationships from these sectors. We view long-term core deposit growth as an important objective. Core deposits generally provide a more stable and lower cost source of funds than alternative sources such as short-term borrowings. (See “Liquidity and capital resources.”)

Deposits totaled $2.80$3.05 billion and $2.40$2.91 billion at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.  The $398.1$138.9 million increase in deposits induring the first nine months of 20182019 is primarily due to the TCSB Merger and growth in reciprocal deposits and brokered time deposits.  Reciprocal deposits totaled $92.6$416.2 million and $51.0$182.1 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.  These deposits represent demand, money market and time deposits from our customers that have been placed through Promontory Interfinancial Network’s Insured Cash Sweep® service and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®.  These services allow our customers to access multi-million dollar FDIC deposit insurance on deposit balances greater than the standard FDIC insurance maximum.  The significant increase in reciprocal deposits is due in part to an automated sweep product that we introduced in mid-2018 as well as the marketing and sales efforts of our treasury management team.

We cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain our current level of core deposits. In particular, those deposits that are uninsured may be susceptible to outflow. At September 30, 2018,2019, we had approximately $650.0$554.3 million of uninsured deposits. A reduction in core deposits would likely increase our need to rely on wholesale funding sources.

We have also implemented strategies that incorporate using federal funds purchased, other borrowings and brokered time depositsBrokered CDs to fund a portion of our interest-earning assets. The use of such alternate sources of funds supplements our core deposits and is also an integral part of our asset/liability management efforts.

Other borrowings, comprised primarily of federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB and federal funds sold, totaled $79.7$64.0 million and $54.6$25.7 million at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

As described above, we utilize wholesale funding, including federal funds purchased, FHLB borrowings and brokered time depositsBrokered CDs to augment our core deposits and fund a portion of our assets. At September 30, 2018,2019, our use of such wholesale funding sources (including reciprocal deposits) amounted to approximately $380.4$679.9 million, or 13.2%21.8% of total funding (deposits and totalall borrowings, excluding subordinated debentures). Because wholesale funding sources are affected by general market conditions, the availability of such funding may be dependent on the confidence these sources have in our financial condition and operations. The continued availability to us of these funding sources is not certain, and Brokered CDs may be difficult for us to retain or replace at attractive rates as they mature. Our liquidity may be constrained if we are unable to renew our wholesale funding sources or if adequate financing is not available in the future at acceptable rates of interest or at all.  Our financial performance could also be affected if we are unable to maintain our access to funding sources or if we are required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources. In such case, our net interest income and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We historically employed derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates.  During the first nine months of 20182019 and 2017,2018, we entered into $16.6$55.4 million and $14.6$16.6 million (aggregate notional amounts), respectively, of interest rate swaps with commercial loan customers, which were offset with interest rate swaps that the Bank entered into with a broker-dealer. We recorded $0.4$0.7 million and $0.2$0.4 million of fee income related to these transactions during the first nine months of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. See note #6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this report for more information on our derivative financial instruments.

Liquidity and capital resources. Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to timely meet obligations as they come due at a reasonable funding cost or without incurring unacceptable losses. Our liquidity management involves the measurement and monitoring of a variety of sources and uses of funds. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows categorize these sources and uses into operating, investing and financing activities. We primarily focus our liquidity management on maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets (primarily funds on deposit with the FRB and certain securities available for sale) as well as developing access to a variety of borrowing sources to supplement our deposit gathering activities and provide funds for purchasing securities available for sale or originating Portfolio Loans as well as to be able to respond to unforeseen liquidity needs.

Our primary sources of funds include our deposit base, secured advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased borrowing facilities with other banks, and access to the capital markets (for Brokered CDs).

At September 30, 2018,2019, we had $506.9$508.1 million of time deposits that mature in the next 12 months. Historically, a majority of these maturing time deposits are renewed by our customers. Additionally, $2.14$2.43 billion of our deposits at September 30, 2018,2019, were in account types from which the customer could withdraw the funds on demand. Changes in the balances of deposits that can be withdrawn upon demand are usually predictable and the total balances of these accounts have generally grown or have been stable over time as a result of our marketing and promotional activities. However, there can be no assurance that historical patterns of renewing time deposits or overall growth or stability in deposits will continue in the future.

We have developed contingency funding plans that stress test our liquidity needs that may arise from certain events such as an adverse change in our financial metrics (for example, credit quality or regulatory capital ratios). Our liquidity management also includes periodic monitoring that measures quick assets (defined generally as highly liquid or short-term assets) to total assets, short-term liability dependence and basic surplus (defined as quick assets less volatile liabilities to total assets). Policy limits have been established for our various liquidity measurements and are monitored on a quarterly basis. In addition, we also prepare cash flow forecasts that include a variety of different scenarios.

We believe that we currently have adequate liquidity at our Bank because of our cash and cash equivalents, our portfolio of securities available for sale, our access to secured advances from the FHLB and our ability to issue Brokered CDs.

We also believe that the available cash on hand at the parent company (including time deposits) of approximately $33.0$16.3 million as of September 30, 20182019 provides sufficient liquidity resources at the parent company to meet operating expenses, to make interest payments on the subordinated debentures, and to pay aprojected cash dividenddividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.stock.

Effective management of capital resources is critical to our mission to create value for our shareholders. In addition to common stock, our capital structure also currently includes cumulative trust preferred securities.

We currently have four special purpose entities with $38.1$38.2 million of outstanding cumulative trust preferred securities.securities as of September 30, 2019.  These special purpose entities issued common securities and provided cash to our parent company that in turn issued subordinated debentures to these special purpose entities equal to the trust preferred securities and common securities. The subordinated debentures represent the sole asset of the special purpose entities. The common securities and subordinated debentures are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As part of the TCSB Merger we acquired TCSB Statutory Trust I (a statutory business trust formed solely to issue capital securities) and assumed approximately $5.2 million of subordinated debentures that had a fair value of approximately $3.8 million on April 1, 2018.  The trust preferred securities issued by TCSB Statutory Trust I mature in March 2035.  The discount recorded on these subordinated debentures is being accreted over their remaining life.

The FRB has issued rules regarding trust preferred securities as a component of the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies. The aggregate amount of trust preferred securities (and certain other capital elements) are limited to 25 percent of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill (net of any associated deferred tax liability). The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit can be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. At the parent company, all of these securities qualified as Tier 1 capital at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017. Although the Dodd-Frank Act further limited Tier 1 treatment for trust preferred securities, those new limits did not apply to our outstanding trust preferred securities.  Further, the New Capital Rules grandfathered the treatment of our trust preferred securities as qualifying regulatory capital.2018.

Common shareholders’ equity increased to $345.2$340.2 million at September 30, 20182019, from $264.9$339.0 million at December 31, 20172018, due primarily to shares issued in the TCSB Merger and our net income that was partially offset by an increaseand a decrease in our accumulated other comprehensive loss that were partially offset by share repurchases and by dividends that we paid.cash dividend payments. Our tangible common equity (“TCE”) totaled $310.2$306.3 million and $263.3$304.3 million, respectively, at those same dates. Our ratio of TCE to tangible assets was 9.51%8.71% and 9.45%9.17% at September 30, 20182019, and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.  TCE and the ratio of TCE to tangible assets are non-GAAP measures.  TCE represents total common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

In JanuaryDecember 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a 2019 share repurchase plan.  Under the terms of the 2018original 2019 share repurchase plan, we arewere authorized to buy back up to 5% of our outstanding common stock.  ThisIn June 2019, our Board of Directors supplemented the 2019 share repurchase plan and authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 additional common shares. The 2019 share repurchase plan is authorized to last through December 31, 2018.  We did not repurchase any shares during2019.  During the first nine months of 2018.2019, the Company repurchased 1,204,688 shares at a weighted average purchase price of $21.82 per share (including 25,000 shares at a weighted average purchase price of $20.09 per share in the third quarter of 2019).

We pay a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock.  These dividends totaled $0.18 per share in each of the first, second and third quarters of 2019 and $0.15 per share and $0.10 per share in each of the thirdcomparable quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.in 2018.    We generally favor a dividend payout ratio between 30% and 50% of net income.

As of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, our Bank (and holding company) continued to meet the requirements to be considered “well-capitalized” under federal regulatory standards (also see note #10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this report).

Asset/liability management.  Interest-rate risk is created by differences in the cash flow characteristics of our assets and liabilities. Options embedded in certain financial instruments, including caps on adjustable-rate loans as well as borrowers’ rights to prepay fixed-rate loans, also create interest-rate risk.

Our asset/liability management efforts identify and evaluate opportunities to structure our assets and liabilities in a manner that is consistent with our mission to maintain profitable financial leverage within established risk parameters. We evaluate various opportunities and alternate asset/liability management strategies carefully and consider the likely impact on our risk profile as well as the anticipated contribution to earnings. The marginal cost of funds is a principal consideration in the implementation of our asset/liability management strategies, but such evaluations further consider interest-rate and liquidity risk as well as other pertinent factors. We have established parameters for interest-rate risk. We regularly monitor our interest-rate risk and report at least quarterly to our board of directors.

We employ simulation analyses to monitor our interest-rate risk profile and evaluate potential changes in our net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that result from changes in interest rates. The purpose of these simulations is to identify sources of interest-rate risk. The simulations do not anticipate any actions that we might initiate in response to changes in interest rates and, accordingly, the simulations do not provide a reliable forecast of anticipated results. The simulations are predicated on immediate, permanent and parallel shifts in interest rates and generally assume that current loan and deposit pricing relationships remain constant. The simulations further incorporate assumptions relating to changes in customer behavior, including changes in prepayment rates on certain assets and liabilities.

(1)
Simulation analyses calculate the change in the net present value of our assets and liabilities, including debt and related financial derivative instruments, under parallel shifts in interest rates by discounting the estimated future cash flows using a market-based discount rate. Cash flow estimates incorporate anticipated changes in prepayment speeds and other embedded options.
(2)
Simulation analyses calculate the change in net interest income under immediate parallel shifts in interest rates over the next twelve months, based upon a static statement of financial condition, which includes debt and related financial derivative instruments, and do not consider loan fees.

Accounting standards update. See note #2  to  the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for details on recently issued accounting pronouncements and their impact on our financial statements.

Fair valuation of financial instruments.  Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 820 - “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“FASB ASC topic 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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.

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. FASB ASC topic 820 differentiates between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (“recurring”) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (“nonrecurring”). Certain equity securities (at December 31, 2018), securities available for sale, loans held for sale, carried at fair value, derivatives and capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or marketfair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. See note #11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this report for a complete discussion on our use of fair valuation of financial instruments and the related measurement techniques.

Litigation Matters

The aggregate amount we have accrued for losses we consider probable as a result of litigation matters is immaterial. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of outcomes from any litigation matter, we believe it is reasonably possible we may incur losses in addition to the amounts we have accrued.  At this time, we estimate the maximum amount of additional losses that are reasonably possible is insignificant.  However, because of a number of factors, including the fact that certain of these litigation matters are still in their early stages, this maximum amount may change in the future.

The litigation matters described in the preceding paragraph primarily include claims that have been brought against us for damages, but do not include litigation matters where we seek to collect amounts owed to us by third parties (such as litigation initiated to collect delinquent loans). These excluded, collection-related matters may involve claims or counterclaims by the opposing party or parties, but we have excluded such matters from the disclosure contained in the preceding paragraph in all cases where we believe the possibility of us paying damages to any opposing party is remote. Risks associated with the likelihood that we will not collect the full amount owed to us, net of reserves, are disclosed elsewhere in this report.

 Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Accounting and reporting policies for the AFLL and capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights and income taxes are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Application of assumptions different than those that we have used could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or results of operations.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
