(1)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) through its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located within the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock DividendOn July 1, 2017, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2017. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

 

The following represents significant new accounting principles adopted in 2017:2018:

 

Stock CompensationRevenue from Contracts with Customers On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. The implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under Topic 605.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust department revenue, service charges and fees, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and other real estate owned sales. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed in Footnote 16.

Financial InstrumentsThe FASB issued ASU 2016-09,2016-01,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment AccountingRecognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, in March 2016, in orderJanuary 2016. The amendments require all equity investments to reduce complexity in this area and improve the usefulness of information provided to users. Amendments which will affect public companies include the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in income tax expense or benefitbe measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, statement, guidance as toother than those accounted for under the classificationequity method of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an election to account for award forfeitures as they occur, and the ability to withhold taxes up to the maximum statutory rateaccounting or those that result in the applicable jurisdictions without triggering liability classificationconsolidation of the award.investee. Additionally, these amendments require presentation in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk for those liabilities measured at fair value. The Company adoptedamendments also require use of the ASU onexit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. These amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2017 and elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. As allowed by the ASU, the Company’s adoption was prospective, therefore prior periods have not been adjusted.2018. The adoption of the ASU could result in increased volatility to reported income tax expense related to excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies for employee share-based transactions, however, the actual amounts recognized in income tax expense will be dependent on the amount of employee share-based transactions and the stock price at the time of vesting or exercise. The adoption of the ASUASU's did not have a significant effect on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2018-04,Investments - Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): The amendment in this ASU adds, amends and supersedes various paragraphs that contain SEC guidance in ASC 320, Investments-Debt Securities and ASC 980, Regulated Operations. The amendments in this ASU are effective when a registrant adopts ASU 2016-01, which for the Company was January 1, 2018. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

LiabilitiesThe FASB issued ASU 2016-04,Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Store-Value Products, in March 2016, in order to address current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid store-value product liability. Such products include prepaid gift cards issued on a specific payment network and redeemable at network-accepting merchant locations, prepaid telecommunication cards, and traveler's checks. The amendments require that the portion of the dollar value of prepaid stored-value products that is ultimately unredeemed (that is, the breakage) be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance for stored-value product transactions provided in ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU's did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

PensionThe FASB issued ASU 2017-07,Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost in March 2017. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item (e.g., Salaries and Benefits) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components separately (e.g., Other Noninterest Expense) from the line item that includes the service cost. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company has decided not to early adopt. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company expects to utilize the ASU’s practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote. The adoption of the ASU's did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible or a loss is confirmed. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company began to lengthen its look-back period with the intent to increase such period from three to five years over the next two years. The Company believes that the five-year look-back period, which is consistent with the Company’s practices prior to the start of the economic recession in 2008, provides a representative historical loss period in the current economic environment. As of December 31, 2017, the Company utilized a five-year look-back period.

Impaired Loans

 

Loans evaluated under ASC 310-10-35 include loans which are individually evaluated for impairment. All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $10.9$10.1 million and $9.1$10.4 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs).

 

The net carrying value of impaired loans is based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016, $7.12017, $3.8 million and $4.5$4.0 million, respectively, of impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value less estimated selling costs of the loan’s collateral. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At September 30, 2017, $1.7March 31, 2018, $1.3 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $10.9$10.1 million compared to $1.1$1.3 million of the Company's allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $9.1$10.4 million at December 31, 2016.2017. Management determined that $2.8$2.0 million, or 26%20%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to $2.1$2.4 million, or 23%, at December 31, 20162017 primarily due to adequate collateral values,acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

 

The categories of impaired loans at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 20162017 are as follows:

The recorded investment varies from the unpaid principal balance primarily due to partial charge-offs taken resulting from current appraisals received. The amount recognized as interest income on impaired loans continuing to accrue interest, primarily related to troubled debt restructurings, was $61,000$58,000 and $200,000,$76,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $55,000 and $246,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the periods reported.

 

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans

 

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-accrual when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual, including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management’s collection efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial condition of the borrower indicates that the timely collectability of interest and principal is probable and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally ninesix months.

 

The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

Credit Quality

 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based upon an internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment. Loans are placed onwatchstatus when one or more weaknesses that may result in the deterioration of the repayment exits or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Loans classified assubstandardare inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A loan is classified as atroubled debt restructuring (TDR)when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that lead to the restructuring of a loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. Loans classified as TDRs which are accruing interest are classified as performing TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs which are not accruing interest are classified as nonperforming TDRs and are included with all other nonaccrual loans for presentation purposes. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. Loans are placed onnon-accrualstatus when (1) deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower exists for which payment of full principal and interest is not expected, or (2) payment of principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more and the asset is not both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, loans classified as TDRs totaled $5.7$6.3 million, of which $1.0$1.7 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and included in non-accrual loans and $4.7$4.6 million were classified as performing TDRs. At December 31, 2016,2017, loans classified as TDRs totaled $6.3$6.4 million, of which $619,000$1.7 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and included in non-accrual loans and $5.7$4.7 million were classified as performing TDRs. Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $531,000$662,000 and $410,000$577,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 298355 securities at December 31, 2016.2017. The portfolio included 216280 securities having an aggregate fair value of $188.6$207.9 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2016.2017. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer had a fair value of $3.7$114.6 million at December 31, 2016.2017. The $3.4$3.3 million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss at December 31, 20162017 was caused by interest rate fluctuations.

 

Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. In the absence of changes in credit quality of these investments, the fair value is expected to recover on all debt securities as they approach their maturity date or re-pricing date, or if market yields for such investments decline. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments over the period of recovery, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investment securities.

The Company offers a sweep account program whereby amounts in excess of an established limit are “swept” from the customer’s demand deposit account on a daily basis into retail repurchase agreements pursuant to individual repurchase agreements between the Company and its customers. Repurchase agreements are agreements to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. They are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions, not as sales and purchases of the securities portfolio. The securities collateral pledged for the repurchase agreements with customers is maintained by a designated third party custodian. The collateral amounts pledged to repurchase agreements by remaining maturity in the table below are limited to the outstanding balances of the related asset or liability; thus amounts of excess collateral are not shown.

The Company’s tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 33.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 33.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.a result of tax-exempt income. The decrease in the tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 in comparison to theover quarter ended September 30, 2016, is primarily due to an immaterial 2016 return to provision adjustment madea decrease in the thirdfederal corporate tax rate and the Company’s additional tax planning initiatives. The provisional adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 as opposed to an immaterial 2015 return to provision adjustment made in the first quarter of 2016. The tax rate was consistent for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Notesrelated to the Consolidated Financial Statementsenactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have not been finalized as of March 31, 2018. The Company expects to finalize those adjustments within the one-year measurement period provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 in regards to the application of FASB’s ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes. The impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is expected to require further adjustments in 2018 due to anticipated additional guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, changes in our assumptions, completion of 2017 U.S. tax returns and further information and interpretations that become available.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, taxable income available in carryback years, and tax planning strategiesinitiatives in making this assessment. With the exception of certain capital losses generated during 2013 and 2014, it is management’s opinion that the Company will more likely than not realize the benefits of these temporary differences as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and, therefore, only established a valuation reserve against the Company’s capital loss carry forward. Management arrived at this conclusion based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. As indicated above, the Company generated approximately $219,000 of capital losses during 2013 and 2014 as a result of disposing of certain limited partnership interests. The capital losses will expire between 2018 and 2019, and it is management’s opinion that it is more likely than not that the Company will not more likely than not generate the capital gain income necessary to utilize the capital loss carry forwards before the capital losses expire. As such, the Company has established an $83,000a $46,000 valuation reserve against its capital loss carry forward deferred tax asset.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes,which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions.

Pension

 

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees. Beginning January 1, 2018 and for all retrospective periods presented, the Company adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-07,Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under the new guidance only the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is reported in the same income statement line item as salaries and benefits, and the remaining components are reported as other non-interest expense. An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year. The Company madeexpects to make a pension contribution in the amount of $1.2$1.8 million on September 11, 2017.in the second quarter of 2018. The 2018 minimum required contribution for 2017 is $842,000.$1.0 million. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company amended the pension plan to effectuate a “soft freeze” such that no individual hired (or rehired in the case of a former employee) by the Company after September 30, 2017, whether or not such individual is or was a vested member in the plan, will be eligible to be an active member and be entitled to accrue any benefits under the plan. Certain individuals hired by the Company before July 1, 2017 are also not eligible to participate in the plan. Beginning in 2019, the Company anticipates that there may be a small reduction in the overall liability and service cost resulting from the closure of the plan to new entrants.

(11)Earnings per Share

 

Stock DividendOn July 1, 2017, the Company paid a special stock dividend of 4% to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2017. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares that were outstanding during the year. The calculations

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share, are as followswhich have been restated for the periods indicated:all stock dividends:

Diluted earnings per share $0.30  $0.32  $0.99  $0.90  $0.36   0.36 

 

Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when the Company has a loss from continuing operations available to shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such stock during the period.

(12)Fair Value Measurements

 

TheFair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities.value. The FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies whenever other standards require (permit) assets or liabilitiesunder US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to be measured at fair value but does not expandmaximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, FASB clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.assets and liabilities as follows. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1-3.

 

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

 

ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance on determiningIn accordance with fair value whenaccounting guidance, the volumeCompany measures, records, and levelreports various types of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

The Company is required to disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis separate from those measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred. 

 

Valuation Methods for InstrumentsAssets and Labilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

The fair value measurements of the Company’s investment securities are determined by a third party pricing service which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to independent verification to another pricing source by management each quarter for reasonableness. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of estimated future cash flows utilizing contractual cash flows, servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees. The valuation models estimate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company classifies its servicing rights as Level 3.

Valuation methods for instrumentsAssets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

 

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

 

Impaired LoansCollateral dependent impaired loans

 

The Company doesWhile the overall loan portfolio is not record loanscarried at fair value, on a recurring basis other than loans that are considered impaired. The netthe Company periodically records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of impaired loans isbased on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the fair value of the underlying collateral has been determinedsupporting the loan. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and any impairment amount calculated,internal appraisals of property values depending on the size and complexity of the real estate collateral. The Company maintains staff that is trained to perform in-house evaluations and also review third party appraisal reports for reasonableness. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a specific reserve allocation is made.variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Values of all loan collateral are regularly reviewed by senior loan committee. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company identified $8.0$3.8 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $1.7 million.$952,000. Related to these loans, there was $64,000 and $147,000$57,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.March 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the Company identified $7.1$2.5 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $1.3 million.$677,000. Related to these loans, there was $153,000 and $920,000$20,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.March 31, 2017.

Other Real Estate and Foreclosed Assets

 

Other real estate owned (OREO) and foreclosed assets consisted of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estateSubsequent to foreclosure, these assets initially are recorded as held for sale initiallycarried at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. The Company reliesFair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgmentOREO may be discounted based on experience and expertisethe Company’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure,appraisal or other information available. During the holding period, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

(13)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Loans

 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair valuesvalue of loans areis estimated by discountingusing the expected future value of discounted cash flows using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products and adjusted for market factors.The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products adjusted to be commensurate with the current rates at which similar loans could be made to borrowers with similar credit ratingsrisk, overhead costs, and for the same remaining maturities. The net carrying amountoptionality of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value prescribed by ASC Topic 820.such instruments.

 

Investment Securities

 

A detailed description of the fair value measurement of the debt instruments in the available-for-sale sections of the investment security portfolio is provided in theFair Value Measurementsection above. A schedule of investment securities by category and maturity is provided in the notes onInvestment Securities.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock

 

Ownership of equity securities of FHLB is restricted and there is no established market for their resale. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks

 

The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less.

Certificates of Deposit in other banks

Certificates of deposit are other investments made by the Company with other financial institutions that are carried at cost

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of estimated future cash flows utilizing contractual cash flows, servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees.

 

Cash Surrender Value - Life Insurance

 

The fair value of Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) approximates the carrying amount. Upon liquidation of these investments, the Company would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

 

For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.

 

Deposits

 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Interest-bearing Demand Notes to U.S. Treasury

 

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and interest-bearing demand notes to U.S. Treasury, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.

 

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

 

The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cashflows.cash-flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms that are competitive in the markets in which it operates.

 

Limitations

 

The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

 

(14)Repurchase Reserve Liability

 

The Company’s repurchase reserve liability for estimated losses incurred on sold loans was $160,000 at both September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017. This liability represents management’s estimate of the potential repurchase or make-whole liability for residential mortgage loans originated for sale that may arise from representation and warranty claims that could relate to a variety of issues, including but not limited to, misrepresentation of facts, appraisal issues, or program requirements that may not meet investor guidelines. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company was servicing 2,7772,743 loans sold to the secondary market with a balance of approximately $288.7$283.1 million compared to 2,8772,773 loans sold with a balance of approximately $294.4$285.8 million at December 31, 2016.

(15)Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

 

The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments were as follows as of the dates indicated:

 

  September 30,  December 31,

Total  308,564   314,002 

Commitments

Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

 

Pending Litigation

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company’s past and current business activities. Based on the Company’s analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in the near term. The Company records a loss accrual for all legal matters for which it deems a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some legal matters, which are at early stages in the legal process, have not yet progressed to the point where a loss is deemed probable or an amount can be estimated.

(16)Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in the scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust department revenue, service charges and fees, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and sales of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Trust Department Revenue

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Fees, Exchange, and Other Service Charges

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Gains/Losses on Sales of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. No OREO sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and two sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were financed by the Bank, which financings were consistent with market terms.

Overview

 

Crucial to the Company’s community banking strategy is growth in its commercial banking services, retail mortgage lending and retail banking services. Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, the Company, with $1.4$1.5 billion in assets at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services. The Bank’s specialties include commercial banking for small and mid-sized businesses, including equipment, operating, commercial real estate, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, and personal banking services including real estate mortgage lending, installment and consumer loans, certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Other financial services that the Company provides include trust services that include estate planning, investment and asset management services and a comprehensive suite of cash management services. The geographic areas in which the Company provides products and services include the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.

 

The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. Much of the Company's business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and residential mortgage lending. The Company's income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancing activity.

 

31

The success of the Company's growth strategy depends primarily on the ability of its banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to revenues generated. The Company's financial performance also depends, in part, on its ability to manage various portfolios and to successfully introduce additional financial products and services by expanding new and existing customer relationships, utilizing improved technology, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the success of the Company's growth strategy depends on its ability to maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels during periods in which general economic conditions are unfavorable and despite economic conditions being beyond its control.

34

 

The Company’s subsidiary bank is a full-service bank conducting a general banking business, offering its customers checking and savings accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services, including commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans, single payment personal loans, installment loans and credit card accounts. In addition, the Bank provides trust services.

 

The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the extent provided by law. The operations of the Bank are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of the Bank are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to the critical accounting policies on the business operations are discussed throughoutManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, where such policies affect the reported and expected financial results.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of the Company's results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. Further discussion of the methodology used in establishing the allowance and the impact of any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations is provided in note 1 to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and is also discussed in theLending and Credit Management section below. Many of the loans are deemed collateral dependent for purposes of the measurement of the impairment loss, thus the fair value of the underlying collateral and sensitivity of such fair values due to changing market conditions, supply and demand, condition of the collateral and other factors can be volatile over periods of time. Such volatility can have an impact on the financial performance of the Company.

 

Other Real Estate and Foreclosed Assets

Other real estate and foreclosed assets consist of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including vehicles, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The write-downs are recorded as other real estate expense, net. The Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the cost of the property.

Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio

 

Management, the senior loan committee, and internal loan review, formally review all loans in excess of certain dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually. Currently, loans in excess of $2.0 million in aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by management are reviewed. In addition, all other loans are reviewed on a sample basis. The senior loan committee reviews and reports to the board of directors, on a monthly basis, past due, classified, and watch list loans in order to classify or reclassify loans as loans requiring attention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. During this review, management also determines which loans should be considered impaired. Management follows the guidance provided in the FASB’s ASC Topic 310-10-35 in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration. Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of potential problem loans. Based upon these procedures, both the allowance and provision for loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered necessary by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. The net decrease in total TDRs from December 31, 20162017 to September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was primarily due to $811,000one TDR totaling $48,000 that went to foreclosure and $95,000 of payments received partially offset by three newon TDR’s totaling $201,000.received.

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) was $11.0 million, or 1.05%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2017 compared to $9.9$10.9 million, or 1.01%, of loans outstanding at March 31, 2018 compared to $10.9 million, or 1.02%, at December 31, 2016,2017, and $9.5$10.3 million, or 1.00%1.02%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans, excluding performing TDR’s, was 172.20%198.32% at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to 282.94%180.87% at December 31, 2016.2017.

The following table is a summary of the general and specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses:

 

 September 30, December 31,  March 31, December 31, 
(In thousands) 2017  2016  2018  2017 
Allocation of allowance for loan losses:                
Individually evaluated for impairment - specific reserves $1,738  $1,080  $1,336  $1,333 
Collectively evaluated for impairment - general reserves  9,262   8,806   9,611   9,519 
Total $11,000  $9,886  $10,947  $10,852 

  

Thespecific reserve component applies to loans evaluated individually for impairment. The net carrying value of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals and/or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At September 30, 2017, $1.7March 31, 2018, $1.3 million of the Company’s ALL was allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.9$10.1 million compared to $1.1$1.3 million of the Company’s ALL allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $9.1$10.4 million at December 31, 2016.2017. Management determined that $2.8$2.0 million, or 26%20%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to $2.1$2.4 million, or 23%, at December 31, 20162017 primarily due to adequate collateral values,acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

 

Theincurred loss component of the general reserve, or loans collectively evaluated for impairment, is determined by applying loss rates to pools of loans by asset type. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company began to lengthen its look-back period with the intent to increase such period from three to five years over the next two years.by December 31, 2017. The Company believes that the five-year look-back period, which is consistent with the Company’s practices prior to the start of the economic recession in 2008, provides a representative historical loss period in the current economic environment. These historical loss rates for each risk group are used as the starting point to determine loss rates for measurement purposes. The historical loan loss rates are multiplied by loss emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the recognition of a loss.

 

The Company’s methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, loan concentrations, assessment of trends in collateral values, assessment of changes in the quality of the Company’s internal loan review department, and changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices.

 

The specific and general reserve allocations represent management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

 

Provision

A $300,000 provision was required for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to a $350,000 provision for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to loan growth slowing during the current quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Provision

A $555,000 and $1.2 million provision for loan losses was required for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a $300,000 and $975,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company is using a nineteen quarter look-back period compared to fifteen quarters, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity Management

 

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors' withdrawal and borrowers' credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet the demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by the Company, management prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with customers.

 

The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for the Company's liquidity position and profile. A combination of daily, weekly, and monthly reports provided to management detail the following: internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital, and exposure to contingent draws on the Company's liquidity.

 

The Company has a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a daily basis. The Company’s most liquid assets are comprised of available for sale investment securities, federal funds sold, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve.

Cash and cash equivalents were $60.4$81.4 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to $27.0$62.9 million at December 31, 2016.2017. The $33.4$18.5 million increase resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Cash flow provided from operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $8.6$2.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

 

Investing activities consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities, and changes in the level of the loan portfolio used total cash of $68.3$8.0 million. The cash outflow primarily consisted of a $70.6$16.2 million increase in loans and $32.3$28.1 million purchases of investment securities, partially offset by $34.5$36.5 million from maturities, calls, and sales of investment securities.

 

Financing activities provided cash of $93.2$24.2 million, resulting primarily from a $23.5 million increase in demand deposits, a $70.8$32.4 million increase in interest bearing transaction accounts.accounts and $22.7 million increase in time deposits, partially offset by a net $37.1 million repayment of FHLB advances. Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 2017.2018.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Company's various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company's liquidity. The Company had $244.1$308.6 million in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Although the Company's current liquidity resources are adequate to fund this commitment level the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of such a funding demand is very low.

The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank, which must provide its own liquidity to meet its operating needs. The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs primarily include funding its operating expenses and paying cash dividends to its shareholders. The Company paid cash dividends to its shareholders totaling approximately $1.1 million$406,000 and $815,000$336,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. A large portion of the Company’s liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. The Bank declared and paid a $2.6$1.0 million dividendand $0 in dividends to the Company during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, compared to no dividends were declared or paid for the same period of 2016.respectively. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.8$1.6 million and $3.9$1.4 million, respectively.

Capital Management

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for the Company began on January 1, 2015. The Federal Reserve System’s (FRB) capital adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 4.5% of its risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 6% of its risk-weighted assets and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. In addition, bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%.

 

In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. Institutions that do not maintain the required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in over four years beginning in 2016. On January 1, 2016, the first phase of the requirement went into effect at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and the requirement will increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625 percentage points, to reach its final level of 2.5% of risk weighted assets on January 1, 2019. Once fully phasephased in, , the capital conservation buffer requirement effectively raises the minimum required risk-based capital ratios to 7% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, 8.5% Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% Total Capital on a fully phased-in basis.

 

Under the Basel III requirements, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as shown in the following table as of periods indicated:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Sensitivity

 

Market risk arises from exposure to changes in interest rates and other relevant market rate or price risk. The Company faces market risk in the form of interest rate risk through transactions other than trading activities. The Company uses financial modeling techniques to measure interest rate risk. These techniques measure the sensitivity of future earnings due to changing interest rate environments. Guidelines established by the Company's Asset/Liability Committee and approved by the board of directors are used to monitor exposure of earnings at risk. General interest rate movements are used to develop sensitivity as the Company feels it has no primary exposure to specific points on the yield curve. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, our Company utilized a 400 basis point immediate and gradual move in interest rates (both upward and downward) applied to both a parallel and proportional yield curve. However, there are no assurances that the change will not be more or less than this estimate.

 

The following table represents estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic and cumulative gap positions calculated as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Significant assumptions used for this table included: loans will repay at historic repayment rates; certain interest-bearing demand accounts are interest sensitive due to immediate repricing, and fixed maturity deposits will not be withdrawn prior to maturity. A significant variance in actual results from one or more of these assumptions could materially affect the results reflected in the table.

Effects of Inflation

 

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since financial institutions make few significant capital or inventory expenditures, which are directly affected by changing prices. Because bank assets and liabilities are virtually all monetary in nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much as do changes in interest rates. The general level of inflation does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do prices of goods and services. Rather, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy.

 

Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate capital to asset ratio. In the opinion of management, inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company's operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our Company's management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) or 15d – 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.  Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.  It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.  In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

There has been no change in our Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Impact of New Accounting Standards

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers The FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), in May 2014. The ASU supersedes revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance identifies specific steps that entities should apply in order to achieve this principle. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 and must be applied retrospectively.

In March 2016, the FASB began to issue targeted guidance to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. The FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which provides guidance on determining an entity's role in providing goods and services as a principal versus an agent, and whether it controls each specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In April 2016, ASU 2016-10,Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, was issued which clarifies the guidance related to whether goods or services are distinct within the contract and therefore are a performance obligation, and clarifies the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for licenses of intellectual property. The effective date and transition requirements of these ASUs are the same as those of ASU 2014-09.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments in this update address narrow-scope improvements to the accounting guidance on collectability, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, the amendments in this Update provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The amendments also included a rescission issued in May 2016, ASU 2016-11,Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging: Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of ASU 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Task Force meeting,and relates to revenue and expense recognition for freight services in process, accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs, and accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer.

The FASB continues to issue additional ASU’s clarifying the revenue recognition guidance for certain implementation issues. Under the ASU 2014-09 and related amendments, the guidance is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2018 and must be applied retroactively, whether through a full restatement of prior periods or a cumulative adjustment upon adoption of the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating certain non-interest income financial statement line items that contain revenue streams that are in the scope of this update such as service charges and fees, trust department revenue, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and real-estate sales, and expects to adopt the ASU in the first quarter of 2018. Based on preliminary analysis of the Company’s review of its contracts and other agreements that are within the scope of this guidance, no material changes to the timing of revenue recognition have been identified. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this accounting guidance, including any additional guidance issued, during the completion of this internal assessment, and expects to expand its qualitative and quantitative disclosures of revenue recognition upon adoption.

Debt Instruments The FASB issued ASU 2016-06,Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments, in March 2016. The ASU clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. Under the new guidance, the embedded options should be assessed solely in accordance with a four-step decision sequence, with no additional assessment of whether the triggering event is indexed to interest rates or credit risk. The amendments are effective January 1, 2017 and are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Financial InstrumentsThe FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, in January 2016. The amendments require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of the investee. Additionally, these amendments require presentation in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk for those liabilities measured at fair value. The amendments also require use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. These amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements, including potential changes to the Company's note disclosure of the fair value of its loan portfolio.

52

In SeptemberJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Instruments(CECL). The revised accounting guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require a company to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. It also amends the credit loss measurement guidance for available-for-sale debt securities and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. This new accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. While the Company generally expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, the Company has not determined the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has formed a committee and is continuing to evaluate the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, in order to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU primarily affects lessee accounting, which requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, an election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities is permitted. The ASU also provides additional guidance as to the definition of a lease, identification of lease components, and sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments in the ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company continuesexpects to evaluate the provision of the new lease standard, but due to the small number of lease agreements, the impact of the adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

LiabilitiesThe FASB issuedadopt this ASU 2016-04,Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Store-Value Products, in March 2016, in order to address current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid store-value product liability. Such products include prepaid gift cards issued on a specific payment network and redeemable at network-accepting merchant locations, prepaid telecommunication cards, and traveler's checks. The amendments require that the portion of the dollar value of prepaid stored-value products that is ultimately unredeemed (that is, the breakage) be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance for stored-value product transactions provided in ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is in the processfirst quarter of evaluating the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash FlowsThe FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts2019 and Cash Payments, in August 2016, in order to address concerns regarding diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. In particular, this ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce this diversity in practice: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

TheIn January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,2018-01Statement, Leases: Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. This update provides an optional practical expedient that affects entities with land easements that existed or expired before an entity's adoption of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, in November 2016. The ASU addresses the current diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The ASU requiresTopic 842, provided that amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Disclosures are to be provided on the nature of restrictions on cash and cash equivalents. When presented in more than one line item within the statement of financial position, the entity shall disclose the amounts, disaggregated by line item, of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents reported within the statement of financial position.does not account for those land easements as leases under Topic 840. The amendments in this ASU affect the amendments in ASU 2016-02, which are not yet effective January 1, 2018but may be early adopted. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. The Company will adopt this guidance as required, in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 described above, however this update is not expected to materially alter the implementation of ASU 2016-02, or to have a significant effectmaterial impact on the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements.

PensionThe FASB issued ASU 2017-07,Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost in March 2017. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item (e.g., Salaries and Benefits) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components separately (e.g., Other Noninterest Expense) from the line item that includes the service cost. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company has decided not to early adopt. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company expects to utilize the ASU’s practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote. The ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Callable Debt SecuritiesThe FASB issued ASU 2017-08,Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securitiesin March 2017. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2017-08 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock CompensationThe FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accountingin May 2017. Under the new guidance an entity may change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award for many different reasons, and the nature and effect of the change can vary significantly. Modification is currently defined as "a change in any of the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award." The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivatives and Hedging The FASB issued guidance within ASU 2017-12,Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815)in August 2017. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 to Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, isare intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The guidance also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. Under the new guidance, public companies will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge's effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. Additional disclosures include cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges and the effect of hedging on individual income statement line items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periodperiods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the Update. The ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
