(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, 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.statements other than mentioned below.

Stock DividendOn July 1, 2017,2018, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2017.2018. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

Summary of Recent Transactions and EventsOn October 18, 2018, Hawthorn Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its branch located in Branson, Missouri with total deposits of approximately $15 million to Branson Bank in Branson, Missouri. The transaction excludes loans assigned to the branch. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval and certain closing conditions, is expected to close during the first quarter of 2019.

 

The following represents significant new accounting principles adopted in 2018:

 

Revenue 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 2016-01,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 adoption of the ASU'sASU did not have a significant effect on the Company'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-ValueStored-Value Products, in March 2016, in order to address current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid store-valuestored-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'sASU 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 utilizeutilizes 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'sASU 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 ofBeginning with December 31, 2017, the Company has 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 $10.1$9.3 million and $10.4 million at March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 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 March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $3.8$4.2 million and $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 March 31,September 30, 2018, $1.3$1.2 million of the Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $10.1$9.3 million compared to $1.3 million of the Company's allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.4 million at December 31, 2017. Management determined that $2.0$3.0 million, or 20%32%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at March 31,September 30, 2018 compared to $2.4 million, or 23%, at December 31, 2017, primarily due to adequate collateral values,acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

 

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

  March 31,  December 31,

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 $58,000$52,000 and $76,000,$151,000, for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, respectively compared to $61,000 and $200,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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 sixnine months.

The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 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 March 31,September 30, 2018, loans classified as TDRs totaled $6.3$5.4 million, of which $1.7$2.2 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and included in non-accrual loans and $4.6$3.2 million were classified as performing TDRs. At December 31, 2017, loans classified as TDRs totaled $6.4 million, of which $1.7 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and included in non-accrual loans and $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 $662,000$569,000 and $577,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 341371 securities at March 31,September 30, 2018. The portfolio included 298344 securities having an aggregate fair value of $206.9$213.7 million that were in a loss position at March 31,September 30, 2018. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer totaled $114.0$146.7 million at fair value.

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 355 securities at December 31, 2017. The portfolio included 280 securities having an aggregate fair value of $207.9 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2017. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer had a fair value of $114.6 million at December 31, 2017. The $3.3 million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017 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 March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 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.

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.

(7)Income Taxes

 

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 16.43%12.6% and 11.8% for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 34.2%32.4% and 33.6% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017. September 30, 2017, respectively. As further described below, the decrease in tax rate for the comparative periods is primarily due to a decrease in the federal corporate tax rate, the release of the valuation allowance related to capital losses as a result of the Company’s tax planning initiatives, a pension contribution made during the second quarter of 2018 that was attributable to the 2017 plan year, and the Company’s additional tax planning initiatives.

The federal corporate income tax rate declined from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.Act, (Tax Act). The Company’s tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of tax-exempt income. The decrease in tax rateincome, the release of the valuation allowance related to capital loss carryforwards, and a pension contribution made during the second quarter over quarter is primarily due a decrease inof 2018 that was attributable to the federal corporate tax rate2017 plan year, and the Company’s additional tax planning initiatives. The provisional adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have not been finalized as of March 31, 2018.September 30, 2018 with the filing of the Company’s 2017 tax return. The Company expectsfinalization of the Tax Act included a $306,000 benefit attributable to finalize thosethe pension contribution discussed above and an $180,000 benefit attributable to various accounting method changes made on the Company’s 2017 tax return. Such adjustments were recorded in the second and third quarters of 2018 respectively, 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, and tax planning initiatives in making this assessment. With the exception of certain capital losses generated during 2013 and 2014, it isIn management’s opinion, that the Company will more likely than not realize the benefits of these temporary differences as of March 31, 2018its deferred tax assets and, therefore, onlyhas not established a valuation reserveallowance against the Company’s capital loss carry forward.its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2018. Management arrived at this conclusion based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income of the appropriate character over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. As indicated above, the Company generated approximately $219,000released a $46,000 valuation allowance against certain capital loss carryforwards during the second quarter of capital losses during 2013 and 20142018 as a result of disposingthe execution of certain limited partnership interests. The capital losses will expire between 2018 and 2019, and it is management’s opiniontax planning initiatives that it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate thegenerated sufficient capital gain income necessaryprior to utilize the capital loss carry forwards beforeexpiration of the capital losses expire. As such, the Company has established a $46,000 valuation reserve against its capital loss carry forward deferred tax asset.carryforwards.

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes,which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. For each of the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, 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 expects to makemade a pension contribution in the amount of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. The 2018 minimum required contribution is $1.0 million.$578,000. 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, 2017,2018, the Company paid a special stock dividend of 4% to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2017.2018. 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.

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

Diluted earnings per share $0.36   0.36  $0.51   0.29  $1.34   0.95 

 

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

 

Fair 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. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows. As of March 31,During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 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.

 

In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring 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 Assets 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 Assets 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:

 

Collateral dependent impaired loans

 

While the overall loan portfolio is not carried at fair value, the Company periodically records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based 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 the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and 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 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 March 31,September 30, 2018, the Company identified $3.8$4.2 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $952,000.$891,000. Related to these loans, there was $57,000$53,000 and $303,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018.September 30, 2018, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2017, the Company identified $2.5$4.4 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $677,000.$1.4 million. Related to these loans, there was $20,000$64,000 and $147,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and nine months ended 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. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets initially are carried at fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals on OREO may be discounted based on the Company’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of 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 value of loans is estimated by using the 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 credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of 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, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold 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.cost.

 

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

 

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, 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 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 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 March 31, 2018, the Company was servicing 2,743 loans sold to the secondary market with a balance of approximately $283.1 million compared to 2,773 loans sold with a balance of approximately $285.8 million at December 31, 2017.

(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 March 31,September 30, 2018, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

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 March 31,September 30, 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)(15)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 adoptioncurrent business practices or result in any changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Descriptions of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streamsour revenue-generating activities within the scope of Topic 606this guidance, which are discussed below.

Trust Department Revenuepresented in our income statement as components of noninterest income are as follows:

 

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- represents fees generated from a variety of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed businessdeposit products 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 relatedservices provided to customers under a day-to-day contract. These fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized aton a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediatelydaily 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

Bank card income ATMand 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 chargescharge revenue earned from merchant, debit and credit cards that are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediatelyThese fees are recognized on a daily or in the following month.

Gains/Losses

Gain 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 occursother real estate - represents income recognized at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the salecontrol of OREOa property is transferred 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 $1.5 billion in assets at March 31,September 30, 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.

 

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.

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.

The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to a reduction of thirty-six full-time equivalent employees, the majority of which occurred in the second and third quarter of 2018. The increase year over year was primarily due to a bonus that was paid in February 2018 to all eligible full-time and part-time employees as a result of the expected tax savings from the new tax reform.Tax Act and an average 3% cost of living increase granted in January 2018.

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, 2017 to March 31,September 30, 2018 was primarily due to one TDR totaling $48,000 that went to foreclosure and $95,000$1.6 million of payments received on TDR’s received.TDRs, partially offset by nine new TDRs totaling $520,000.

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) was $10.9$11.4 million, or 1.01%1.02%, of loans outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2018 compared to $10.9 million, or 1.02%, at December 31, 2017, and $10.3$11.0 million, or 1.02%1.05%, of loans outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2017. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans excluding performing TDR’s, was 198.32%187.89% at March 31,September 30, 2018, compared to 180.87%191.33% at December 31, 2017, and 177.13% at September 30, 2017.

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

 

 March 31, December 31,  September 30, December 31, 
(In thousands) 2018  2017  2018  2017 
Allocation of allowance for loan losses:                
Individually evaluated for impairment - specific reserves $1,336  $1,333  $1,225  $1,333 
Collectively evaluated for impairment - general reserves  9,611   9,519   10,133   9,519 
Total $10,947  $10,852  $11,358  $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 March 31,September 30, 2018, $1.3$1.2 million of the Company’s ALL was allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.1$9.3 million compared to $1.3 million of the Company’s ALL allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.4 million at December 31, 2017. Management determined that $2.0$3.0 million, or 20%32%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at March 31,September 30, 2018 compared to $2.4 million, or 23%, at December 31, 2017, 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 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$250,000 and $1.0 million provision was required for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a $350,000$555,000 and $1.2 million provision for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2017. The decrease in both periods reported was primarily due to loan growth slowing duringimproved credit quality and economic conditions used in assessing the current quarter compared torisk in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.portfolio.

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, not including other debt securities, federal funds sold, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve.

Total $285,981  $269,555  $257,283  $274,041 

 

Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was $215.7$224.6 million at March 31,September 30, 2018 and included an unrealized net loss of $5.3$7.1 million. The portfolio includes projected maturities and mortgage backed securities pay-downs of approximately $10.1$17.4 million over the next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in the Company’s deposit base.

Liquidity is available from the Company’s base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest checking, savings, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits less than $250,000, less all brokered deposits under $250,000. At March 31,September 30, 2018, such deposits totaled $1.0 billion and represented 88.4%88.7% of the Company’s total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often tied to other products of the Company through long lasting relationships. Time deposits and certificates of deposit of $250,000 and over totaled $136.4$110.1 million at March 31,September 30, 2018. These accounts are normally considered more volatile and higher costing representing 11.6%9.3% of total deposits at March 31,September 30, 2018.

 

Core deposits at March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

The total amount of certificates of deposit of $250,000 and greater at March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $84.7$110.1 million and $63.2 million, respectively. The Company had brokered deposits totaling $48.9$29.8 million and $48.5$9.8 million at March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectivelyrespectively. Under the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act signed into law in May 2018, certain reciprocal deposits are no longer required to be classified as brokered deposits. As such, prior periods presented have been reclassified to include these reciprocal deposits in the Company’s core deposits and excluded from brokered deposit totals.

 

Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. The Company’s outside borrowings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and subordinated notes. Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company maintains approved credit lines. As of March 31,September 30, 2018, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to $40.0$50.0 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $16.2$16.4 million on a secured basis. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2018. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally borrowed overnight and are secured by a portion of the Company’s investment portfolio. At March 31,September 30, 2018, there was $34.8$32.7 million in repurchase agreements. The Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window; although no such borrowings were outstanding at March 31,September 30, 2018.

 

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB. As of March 31,September 30, 2018, the Bank had $84.3$78.7 million in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, the Company has $49.5 million in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by preferred securities issued by the trusts.

The Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB, and other correspondent banks as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the type and value of collateral pledged, the FHLB establishes a collateral value from which the Company may draw advances against this collateral. This collateral is also used to enable the FHLB to issue letters of credit in favor of public fund depositors of the Company. The Federal Reserve Bank also establishes a collateral value of assets pledged to support borrowings from the discount window. The following table reflects collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to the Company as follows:

Sources and Uses of Funds

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $81.4$36.8 million at March 31,September 30, 2018 compared to $62.9 million at December 31, 2017. The $18.5$26.1 million increasedecrease 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 threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. Cash flow provided from operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $2.3$11.3 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 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 $8.0$55.2 million. The cash outflow primarily consisted of $16.2$48.7 million increase in loans and $28.1$103.0 million purchases of investment securities, partially offset by $36.5$104.6 million from maturities, calls, and sales of investment securities.

 

Financing activities provided cash of $24.2$17.9 million, resulting primarily from a $32.4$12.0 increase in demand deposits, a $24.7 million increase in interest bearing transaction accounts, and $22.7a $20.2 million increase in time deposits, and a $5.1 million increase in federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, partially offset by a net $37.1$42.7 million repayment of FHLB advances. Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 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 $308.6$297.5 million in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of March 31,September 30, 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 $406,000$1.4 million and $336,000$1.1 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A large portion of the Company’s liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. The Bank declared and paid $1.0$5.0 million and $0$2.6 million in dividends to the Company during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.6$2.1 million and $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 phased 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 March 31,September 30, 2018 and December 31, 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

 

Asset/Liability and Interest SensitivityRate Risk

 

Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Market

The principal objective of the Company's asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk ariseswithin the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing earnings and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The asset and liability management function is under the guidance of the Asset Liability Committee from direction of the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Management analyzes the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates and other relevant market rate or price risk. The Company faces marketon this calculation is analyzed for the 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 ofour future earnings due to changingand is used in conjunction with the analyses on net 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 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 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.income.

The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

200  2.21%  (3.14)%
100  3.22%  (2.05)%
(100)  5.96%  1.58%

The improvement in our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018 was primarily due to higher offering rates for repricing loans at September 30, 2018 and a decrease in short-term maturity borrowings from December 31, 2017.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

 

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 threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 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 March 31,September 30, 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 March 31,September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Impact of New Accounting Standards

 

Financial InstrumentsIntangiblesIn June 2016,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,2018-15,Financial InstrumentsIntangibles - Credit LossesGoodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(CECL). The revised accounting guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require350-40) Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a companyCloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to recognizedevelop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include 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 beinternal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is 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 expects to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 and is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, 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 Topic 842, provided that the entity 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 but 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 materialsignificant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

53

Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.ASU 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

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, are 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 periods 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.

Financial InstrumentsIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial 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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company plans to run parallel credit risk models to continue evaluating the results.

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’s operating leases primarily relate to office space and bank branches. The Company expects to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. Based on the Company’s current leases, the Company expects to recognize a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the consolidated balance sheet, and is in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated income statement and required disclosures.
