CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Nature of Business

Citizens Holding Company (referred to herein as the “Company”) owns and operates The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank”). As a state bank, the Bank is subject to regulations of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. The Company is also subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The area served by the Bank is east central Mississippi, along with southern and northern counties of Mississippi and their surrounding areas. Services are provided at multiple branch offices.

Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments and reclassifications, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition as of and for the interim periods presented. All adjustments and reclassifications are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

The interim consolidated financial statements of Citizens Holdingthe Company (the “Company”) include the accounts of its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank” and collectively with Citizens Holding Company, the “Corporation”).Philadelphia. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For further information and significant accounting policies of the Corporation,Company, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Citizens Holding Company included in the Corporation’sCompany’s Annual Report on Form10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2017.16, 2023.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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.

5

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, or other real estate owned (“OREO”). In connection with the determination of the ACL and valuation of foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and to value foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowance or adjustments to the valuation may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and valuations of foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or to make adjustments to the valuation based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Due to these factors, it is reasonably possible that the ACL and valuation of foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near term.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This update to Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 326,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), significantly changed the way entities recognize impairment on many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the asset’s remaining life. FASB describes this impairment recognition model as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model and believes the CECL model will result in more timely recognition of credit losses since the CECL model incorporates expected credit losses versus incurred credit losses. The scope of FASB’s CECL model includes loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantees that are not accounted for at fair value. Additionally, ASU 2016-13 amended the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (“PCD”). In the remainder of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, references to “CECL” or to “FASB ASU 2016-13” shall mean the accounting standards and principles set forth in ASC 326 after giving effect to ASU 2016-13 and the clarifications thereto discussed in the next paragraph.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. To implement CECL, entities are required to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company recorded a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment as disclosed in the table below.

The allowance for credit losses on unfunded laon commitments is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The related provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in "Provision for credit losses" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Additionally, the Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans and thus the measurement of the ACL in the Company’s loan portfolio. Accrued interest receivable on loans is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $1,938 and $1,981 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is excluded from estimated credit losses.

Note 2. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

(in thousands)

In the ordinary course of business, the CorporationCompany enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. The unused portion of these commitments is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2023, the CorporationCompany had entered into loan commitments with certain customers with an aggregate unused balance of $38,122,030$68,680 compared to an aggregate unused balance of $37,194,220$75,602 at December 31, 2016. 2022. There were $2,713,880 of$3,488 letters of credit outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 2023 and $3,456,180$5,438 at December 31, 2016. 2022. The fair value of such commitments is not considered material because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire. The balances of such letters and commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements. However, the CorporationCompany does incorporate expectations about the utilization under its credit-related commitments and into its asset and liability management program.

The CorporationCompany is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, all of which are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provisions are made for anticipated losses whenever management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not likely have a material impact on the Corporation’sCompany’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $413,921 of securities available-for-sale to securities held-to-maturity. At the date of this transfer, the net unrealized holding loss on the transferred securities totaled approximately $71,319 ($53,525 net of tax).

The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities held-to-maturity. The net unrealized holding loss is amortized over the remaining life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. At June 30, 2023, the net unamortized, unrealized loss on transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income were(loss) in the accompanying balance sheet totaled approximately $67,294 ($50,505, net of tax) compared to $69,612 ($52,244, net of tax) at December 31, 2022.

ACL on Securities

ASU 2016-13 applies to all financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including securities held-to-maturity, and makes targeted improvements to the accounting for credit losses on securities available-for-sale.

Under ASU 2016-13, the allowance for credit losses is an estimate measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets.

In order to comply with ASU 2016-13, the Company conducted a review of its investment portfolio and determined that for certain classes of securities it would be appropriate to assume the expected credit loss to be zero.  This zero-credit loss assumption applies to debt issuances of the U.S. Treasury and agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government.  The reasons behind the adoption of the zero-credit loss assumption are as follows:

The Company will continuously monitor any changes in economic conditions, credit downgrades, changes to explicit or implicit guarantees granted to certain debt issuers, and any other relevant information that would indicate potential credit deterioration and prompt the Company to reconsider its zero-credit loss assumption.

At the date of adoption, the Company’s estimated allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity under ASU 2016-13 was deemed immaterial due to the composition of these portfolios. Both portfolios consist primarily of U.S. government agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities for which the risk of loss is minimal. Therefore, the Company did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment through retained earnings related to the available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.

Securities Available-for-Sale

ASU 2016-13 makes targeted improvements to the accounting for credit losses on securities available-for-sale.  The concept of other-than-temporarily impaired has been replaced with the allowance for credit losses.  Unlike securities held-to-maturity, securities available-for-sale are evaluated on an individual level and pooling of securities is not allowed.  

Quarterly, the Company evaluates if any security has a fair value less than its amortized cost.  Once these securities are identified, in order to determine whether a decline in fair value resulted from a credit loss or other factors, the Company performs further analysis to ensure that the changes in unrealized losses are, in fact, temporary in nature by correlating the changes to the yield curve movement.

Should it be determined that a credit loss exists, the credit portion of the allowance will be measured using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis using the effective interest rate as of the security’s purchase date. The amount of credit loss the Company records will be limited to the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds the fair value.

The DCF analysis utilizes contractual maturities, as well as third-party credit ratings and cumulative default rates published annually by Moody’s Investor Service.

At June 30, 2023, the results of the analysis did not identify any available-for-sale securities that violate the credit loss triggers; therefore, no DCF analysis was performed and no credit loss was recognized on any of the securities available-for-sale.  

Securities Held-to-Maturity

ASU 2016-13 requires institutions to measure expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost on a collective or pool basis when similar risks exist.  The Company uses several levels of segmentation in order to measure expected credit losses:

The portfolio is segmented into agency and non-agency securities.

The non-agency securities consists primarily of municipal securities.

Each individual segment is categorized by third-party credit ratings.  

10

As discussed above, the Company has determined that for certain classes of securities it would be appropriate to conclude the expected credit loss to be zero, which include debt issuances of the U.S. Treasury and agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government. This assumption will be reviewed and attested to quarterly.  The Company is using an internally built model to verify the accuracy of third-party provided calculations.  

At June 30, 2023, the Company’s securities held-to-maturity totaled $396,931.  The potential credit loss exposure was $92,885 and consisted of municipal securities.  After applying appropriate probability of default and loss given default assumptions, the total amount of current expected credit losses was deemed immaterial.  Therefore, no reserve was recorded at June 30, 2023.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had no securities held-to-maturity that were past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest payments.  The Company had no securities held-to-maturity classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2023.  

The Company monitors the credit quality of municipal securities held-to-maturity on a quarterly basis through credit ratings.  The following table presents the amortized cost of the Company’s securities held-to-maturity by credit rating, as determined by Moody’s Investor Services, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Nonaccrual and Past Due LHFI

The amortized cost basis of period-end, nonaccrual and past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed onnon-accrual status, when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed onnon-accrual status regardless of whether such loans are considered past due. When interest accruals are discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

ChangesThe Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures on January 1, 2023. The amendments in this ASU were applied prospectively, and therefore, loan modification and charge off information is provided only for those items occurring after the January 1, 2023 adoption date.

Based on the guidance in ASU 2022-02, a loan modification or refinancing results in a new loan if the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms with customers with similar collection risks that are not refinancing or restructuring their loans and the modification to the terms of the loans are more than minor. If a loan modification or refinancing does not result in a new loan, it is classified as a loan modification. There are additional disclosures for the modification of loans with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that results in a direct change in the Corporation’s troubled debt restructurings (in thousands, except for numbertiming or amount of loans)contractual cash flows. The disclosures are set forthapplicable to situations where there is principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions or a combination of any of these terms. If the Company modifies any loans to borrowers in financial distress that involves principal forgiveness, the amount of principal forgiven is charged off against the ACL.

The Company had no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties in the table below:second quarter of 2023.

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral. The following provides a qualitative description by class of loan of the collateral that secures the Company’s collateral-dependent LHFI:

Loans secured by real estate – Loans within these loan classes are secured by liens on real estate properties. There have been no significant changes to the collateral that secures these financial assets during the period.

Business loans – Loans within this loan class are primarily secured by inventory, accounts receivables, equipment and other non-real estate collateral. There have been no significant changes to the collateral that secures these financial assets during the period.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans when originated and is updated as factors related to the strength of the loan changes. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the 9 risk grades is as follows.

Grade 1. MINIMAL RISK—RISK - These loans are without loss exposure to the Corporation.Company. This classification is reserved for only the best, well secured loans to borrowers with significant capital strength, low leverage, stable earnings and growth and other readily available financing alternatives. This type of loan would also include loans secured by a program of the government.

Grade 2. MODEST RISK—RISK - These loans include borrowers with solid credit quality and moderate risk of loss. These loans may be fully secured by certificates of deposit with another reputable financial institution or secured by readily marketable securities with acceptable margins.

Grade 3. AVERAGE RISK—RISK - This is the rating assigned to the majoritymost of the loans held by the Corporation.Company. This includes loans with average loss exposure and average overall quality. These loans should liquidate through possessing adequate collateral and adequate earnings of the borrower. In addition, these loans are properly documented and are in accordance with all aspects of the current loan policy.

Grade 4. ACCEPTABLE RISK—RISK - Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service but most working asset and capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more may be higher thannot align with peers.

Grade 5. MANAGEMENT ATTENTION—ATTENTION - Borrower has significantpotential weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the borrower has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow is weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weakness is evident.

Grade 6. OTHER LOANS ESPECIALLY MENTIONED (“OLEM”) - Loans in this category are fundamentally sound but possess some weaknesses. OLEM loans have potential weaknesses, which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the bank’sBank's credit position at some future date. These loans have an identifiable weakness in credit, collateral, or repayment ability but there is no expectation of loss.

Grade 7. SUBSTANDARD ASSETS—ASSETS - Assets classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness based upon objective evidence. Assets classified as substandard are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The possibility that liquidation would not be timely requires a substandard classification even if there is little likelihood of total loss. This classification does not mean that the loan will incur a total or partial loss. Substandard loans may or may not be impaired.

Grade 8. DOUBTFUL— DOUBTFUL - A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses of a substandard classification and the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. A doubtful classification could reflect the fact that the primary source of repayment is gone and serious doubt exists as to the quality of a secondary source of repayment.

Grade 9. LOSS— LOSS - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Also included in this classification is the defined loss portion of loans rated substandard assets and doubtful assets.

These internally assigned grades are updated on a continual basis throughout the course of the year and represent management’s most updated judgment regarding grades at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023.

Note 8. ACL on LHFI

The Company’s ACL methodology for LHFI is based upon guidance within ASC Subtopic 326-20 as well as applicable regulatory guidance. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Credit quality within the LHFI portfolio is continuously monitored by Management and is reflected within the ACL for loans. The ACL is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s existing LHFI portfolio. The ACL for LHFI is adjusted through the PCL, LHFI and reduced by the charge off of loan amounts, net of recoveries.

The methodology for estimating the amount of grossexpected credit losses reported in the ACL has two basic components: a collective, or pooled, component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans (in thousands)that share similar risk characteristics, and an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans. In estimating the ACL for the collective component, loans are segregated byinto loan gradepools based on loan product types and class, as of December 31, 2016:similar risk characteristics.

The allowanceloans secured by real estate segment includes loans for loan losses is established through a provisionboth commercial and residential properties. The underwriting process for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimatethese loans includes analysis of probable lossesthe financial position and strength of both the borrower and guarantor, experience with similar projects in the past, market demand and prospects for successful completion of the proposed project within the existing portfolioestablished budget and schedule, values of loans.underlying collateral, availability of permanent financing, maximum loan-to-value ratios, minimum equity requirements, acceptable amortization periods and minimum debt service coverage requirements, based on property type. The allowance,borrower’s financial strength and capacity to repay their obligations remain the primary focus of underwriting. Financial strength is evaluated based upon analytical tools that consider historical and projected cash flows and performance in the judgmentaddition to a financial analysis of management,any proposed project. Additional support offered by guarantors is necessaryalso considered. Ultimate repayment of these loans is sensitive to reserve for estimated loan lossesinterest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.availability of long-term financing.

The allowance onbusiness loan segment includes loans within the majorityCompany’s geographic markets made to many types of the loan portfolio is calculated using a historical chargeoff percentage applied to the current loan balances by loan segment. This historical period is the average of the previous twenty quarters with the most current quarters weighted more heavily to show the effect of the most recent chargeoff activity. This percentage is also adjustedbusinesses for economic factorsvarious purposes, such as local unemploymentshort term working capital loans that are usually secured by accounts receivable and general business conditions,inventory and term financing for equipment and fixed asset purchases that are secured by those assets. The Company’s credit underwriting process for commercial and industrial loans includes analysis of historical and projected cash flows and performance, evaluation of financial strength of both localborrowers and nationwide.guarantors as reflected in current and detailed financial information and evaluation of underlying collateral to support the credit.

The groupconsumer LHFI portfolio segment is comprised of loans that are centrally underwritten based on a credit scoring system as well as an evaluation of the borrower’s repayment capacity, credit, and collateral. Property appraisals are obtained to assist in evaluating collateral. Loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios, loan amount, and lien position are also considered in assessing whether to originate a loan. These borrowers are particularly susceptible to downturns in economic trends such as conditions that negatively affect housing prices and demand and levels of unemployment.

Company loss history

The Loss Rate model is designed to operate at the portfolio segment level. These segments are relatively homogenous groups of loans with similar characteristics. Based on the average inputs of each segment, the model then calculates both quarterly and lifetime loss rates for the entire segment by loan. The lifetime loss rate is then multiplied by the amortized cost of each loan within a class to get a quantitative reserve.

21

The Company chose the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method for two loan classes that are relatively non-complex. The WARM methodology factors in the remaining life of each applicable loan class that must be calculated to be impaired are individually evaluatedused within the quantitative model.

The Company determined that reasonable and supportable forecasts could be made for possible lossa twelve-month period for all of its loan pools. To the extent the lives of the loans in the LHFI portfolio extend beyond this forecast period, the Company uses a reversion period of four quarters and reverts to the historical mean on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the loans. The econometric models currently in production reflect segment or pool level sensitivities of probability of default to changes in macroeconomic variables. By measuring the relationship between defaults and changes in the economy, the quantitative reserve incorporates reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions that will affect the value of its assets, as required by FASB ASC Topic 326.

In addition to the items mentioned above, the Company incorporates qualitative factors into the ACL methodology, including the following:

Lending expertise

Risk tolerance measured through lending policy requirements

Quality of the loan review system

Changes in collateral valuations

External factors within the Company’s operating region, including economic conditions

Impact of competition

The qualitative reserve is calculated by taking the quantitative reserve rate and multiplying this rate by the qualitative factor (“Q-factor”) scalar. The Q-factor scalar takes the average of all the Q-factors selected for a specific reserveloan class. Each Q-factor is establishedgiven a rating between 0 to cover any loss contingency. Loans that are determined100 basis points (“bps”), with the 0 being no risk to be a loss with no benefit of remaining in100 bps being the portfolio are charged off to the allowance. These specific reserves are reviewed periodically for continued impairmenthighest risk impact. Each Q-factor is evaluated and adequacy of the specific reserveadjusted quarterly using both internal and are adjusted when necessary.

ACL for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure

The Company maintains a separate ACL for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure, which is included in the “Other liabilities” line item on the basisConsolidated Balance Sheets. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses on off-balance sheet credit exposure by calculating a likelihood of funding over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in the ACL on loans methodology described above to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Note 8.9. Secured Line of Credit

(in thousands)

On June 9, 2021, the Company obtained a secured revolving line of credit (“Line”) in the amount of $20,000 with First Horizon Bank.  The proceeds of the Line were used to enhance the Bank’s capital structure.  The Line bears interest at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate with an initial interest rate of 3.25%, which is payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter, commencing on July 1, 2021, with the final installment of interest being due and payable concurrently on the same date that the principal balance is due. As of June 30, 2023, when the line was renewed, the interest rate was 8.25%. The Line also bears an unused line fee at a rate equal to 0.25%, applied to the unused balance of the Line.  The Line is fully secured by the common stock of the Bank.  The renewed Line matures on June 9, 2024, at which time all unpaid interest and principal is due and payable.

Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(in thousands)

The fair value topic of the ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This topic clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This topic also requires disclosure about how fair value was determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1

Level 1

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or

Level 3

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017:

Impaired Loans

Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to, equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The following table presents information asfair value of September 30, 2017 about significantreal estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’s financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified Level 3. The unobservable inputs (Level 3) usedmay vary depending on the individual assets with the fair value of real estate based on appraised value being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the certified appraisals for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling, closing and liquidation costs, which typically approximates 25% of the appraised value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified.

27

Other real estate owned

OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ACL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. The Company outsources the valuation of assetsOREO with material balances to third party appraisers. The Company reviews the third-party appraisal for appropriateness and liabilities measured atadjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically approximate 25% of the appraised value.

The financial instruments topic of the ASC requires disclosure of financial instruments’ fair values, as well as the methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating fair values. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The financial instruments topic of the ASC excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly,The following represents the aggregatecarrying value and estimated fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation and may not be indicative of amounts that might ultimately be realized upon disposition or settlement of those assets and liabilities.

The fair value estimates, methods and assumptions used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial statements were as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair value because of their immediate and shorter-term maturities, which are considered to be three months or less when purchased.

SecuritiesAvailable-for-Sale

Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). When neither quoted prices nor comparable instruments are available, unobservable inputs are needed to form an expected future cash flow analysis to establish fair values (Level 3).

The Corporation owns certain beneficial interests in one collateralized debt obligation secured by community bank trust preferred securities. These interests do not trade in a liquid market, and therefore, market quotes are not a reliable indicator of their ultimate realizability. The Corporation utilizes a discounted cash flow model using inputs of (1) market yields of trust-preferred securities as the discount rate and (2) expected cash flows which are estimated using assumptions related to defaults, deferrals and prepayments to determine the fair values of these

beneficial interests. Many of the factors that adjust the timing and extent of cash flows are based on judgment and not directly observable in the markets. Therefore, these fair values are classified as Level 3 valuations for accounting and disclosure purposes. Since observable transactions in these securities are rare, the Corporation uses assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing these instruments. These assumptions primarily include cash flow estimates and market discount rates. The cash flow estimates are sensitive to the assumptions related to the ability of the issuers to pay the underlying trust preferred securities according to their terms. The market discount rates depend on transactions, which are rare given the lack of interest of investors in these types of beneficial interests.

Net Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans, including impaired loans, (i.e., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans, and agricultural loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposits

The fair values for demand deposits, NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and time deposits approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances is based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

Due to the short term nature of these instruments, which is generally three months or less, the carrying amount is equal to the fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fees associated with these financial instruments are not material.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU2014-09,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”(“ASU2014-09”). ASU2014-09 provides guidance 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 and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-14, which defers the effective date of this standard to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU2014-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

On September 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU2016-13”). The update will significantly change the way entities recognize impairment on many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the asset’s remaining life. The FASB describes this impairment recognition model as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model and believes the CECL model will result in more timely recognition of credit losses since the CECL model incorporates expected credit losses versus incurred credit losses. The scope of FASB’s CECL model would include loans,held-to-maturity debt instruments, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantees that are not accounted for at fair value. For public business entities, this update becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will continue to monitor FASB’s progress on this topic.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU2016-15”). ASU2016-15 is intended to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statement of Cash Flows, including (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement ofzero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (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. For public business entities, this amendment becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU only impacts the presentation of specific items within the Statement of Cash Flows and is not expected to have a material impact to the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU2016-02”). ASU2016-02 amends the accounting model and disclosure requirements for leases. The current accounting model for leases distinguishes between capital leases, which are recognizedon-balance sheet, and operating leases, which are not. Under the new standard, the lease classifications are defined as finance leases, which are similar to capital leases under current GAAP, and operating leases. Further, a lessee will recognize a lease liability and aright-of-use asset for all leases with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet regardless of the

lease’s classification, which may significantly increase reported assets and liabilities. The accounting model and disclosure requirements for lessors remains substantially unchanged from current GAAP. ASU2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU2017-01,“Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business”(“ASU2017-01”),that changes the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as the acquisition of assets or the acquisition of a business. ASU2017-01 requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the acquired assets or group of similar identifiable assets is not considered a business. In addition, the guidance requires that, to be considered a business, the acquired assets must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The ASU removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace any of the missing elements. ASU2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-08,Receivables- Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20) (“ASU2017-08”). ASU2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this update more closely align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities due to market participants pricing securities to the call date that produces the worst yield when the coupon is above current market rates, and pricing securities to maturity when the coupon is below market rates in anticipation that the borrower will act in its economic best interest. Therefore, the amendments more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument. ASU2017-08 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU2017-08 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09,“Compensation—Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”(“ASU2017-09”). ASU2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU2017-09 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU2017-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For an overview of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies” included in Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. Additionally, as described more fully in our unaudited financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly report, especially Note 1, Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements and Note 8, ACL on LHFI, on January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit.

LIQUIDITY

The CorporationCompany has an asset and liability management program that assists management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. A measurement of liquidity is the ratio of net deposits and short-term liabilities divided by the sum of net cash, short-term investments and marketable assets. This measurement for liquidity of the CorporationCompany at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, was 36.20%13.39% and at December 31, 2016,2022, was 37.64%14.58%. The decrease was due to ana decrease in short term marketable assets at Septemberinterest bearing cash and cash equivalents partially offset by an increase in the fair market value of investment securities as of June 30, 2017.2023. Management believes it maintains adequate liquidity for the Corporation’sCompany’s current needs.

The Corporation’sCompany’s primary source of liquidity is customer deposits, which were $754,768,366$1,103,072 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, and $760,152,340$1,126,402 at December 31, 2016.2022. Other sources of liquidity include investment securities, the Corporation’sCompany’s line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), the Company’s secured line of credit with First Horizon Bank (“FHN”), the Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) and federal funds lines with correspondent banks. The CorporationCompany had $518,236,091$196,866 invested inavailable-for-sale investment securities at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, and $496,124,574$201,322 at December 31, 2016. This2022. The decrease in securities available-for-sale is the result of paydowns on investment securities partially offset by an increase is due toin the Corporation investing its funds not needed for loan funding in longer term investments. fair market value of investment securities.  

The CorporationCompany also had $29,640,509$862 in interest bearing deposits at other banks at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and $48,603,182$1,646 at December 31, 2016.2022. The decrease in interest bearing deposits was the result of these funds being invested in long term investments. The CorporationCompany had secured and unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks in the amount of $45,000,000$50,000 at both SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and $45,000 at December 31, 2016.2022. In addition, the CorporationCompany has the ability to draw on its line of credit with the FHLB.FHLB and FHN. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the CorporationCompany had unused and available $145,516,824$190,612 of its line of

credit with the FHLB and at December 31, 2016,2022, the CorporationCompany had unused and available $123,592,789$160,488 of its line of credit with the FHLB. The increase in the amount available under the Corporation’sCompany’s line of credit with the FHLB from the end of 20162022 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, was the result of an increase in the amount of loans eligible for the collateral pool securing the Corporation’sCompany’s line of credit with the FHLB. In addition to the line of credit previously mentioned with the FHLB that is secured by pledged loans, the Company can also pledge investment securities at their current face value, less a predetermined discount amount, typically between 3 to 10%. This is similar to the BTFP except the Company can structure the terms of the line of credit with the FHLB and the BTFP is a one-year line of credit secured by investment securities at par. The CorporationCompany has approximately $132,739 and $133,033 of unpledged securities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The secured line of credit with FHN was originated on June 9, 2021. At June 30, 2023, the Company had nounused and available $2,000 of its secured line of credit with FHN. The Company had federal funds purchased of $4,000 and $-0- as of both SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016.2022, respectively. The CorporationCompany may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks on a temporary basis to meet short termshort-term funding needs.

32

When the CorporationCompany has more funds than it needs for its reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the CorporationCompany increases its investment portfolio, increases the balances in interest bearing due from bank accounts or sells federal funds. It is management’s policy to maintain an adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term basis to insureensure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs. When deposits decline or do not grow sufficiently to fund loan demand, management will seek funding either through federal funds purchased or advances from the FHLB.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity was $91,942,431$40,141 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, as compared to $85,059,395$39,025 at December 31, 2016.2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was theis a result of a change in AOCI caused by a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss brought about by the investment securities market value adjustment as well as the increase in earnings in excess of dividends paid. The market value adjustment, which was an increase was due to general market conditions, specifically the decrease in medium termmedium-term interest rates which causedthat has occurred since December 31, 2022. To help manage the AOCI volatility, the Company transferred securities to held-to-maturity during the third quarter 2022 to help further mitigate any future negative impacts on shareholders’ equity that could result from continued interest rate hikes. The unrealized loss that was frozen in AOCI at the time of the transfer will be amortized out of AOCI back into shareholders’ equity over the remaining life of the securities. Management does not intend to sell any securities at an increaseunrealized loss position. Additionally, as noted in the market priceLiquidity section of Item 2. of this Quarterly Report, the Corporation’s investment portfolio.Company has sufficient liquidity options available if the need for short-term funds arises.

The CorporationCompany paid aggregate cash dividends in the amount of $3,522,327,$2,244, or $0.72$0.40 per share, during the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 compared to $0.72$2,688, or $0.48 per share, for the same period in 2016.2022.

Quantitative measures established by federal regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the CorporationCompany and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (primarily common stock and retained earnings, less goodwill) to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Corporation meetsCompany and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it isthey are subject and according to these requirements the Corporation isCompany and Bank are considered to be well capitalized.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance CorporationCompany (“FDIC”) to adopt regulations imposing a continuing “floor” on the risk based capital requirements. In December 2010, the Basel Committee released a final framework for a strengthened set of capital requirements, known as “Basel III”. In early July 2013, each of the U.S. federal banking agencies adopted final rules relevant to us: (1) the Basel III regulatory capital reforms; and (2) the “standardized"standardized approach of Basel II fornon-core banks and bank holding companies”, such as the Bank and the Company. The capital framework under Basel III will replacereplaced the existing regulatory capital rules for all banks, savings associations and U.S. bank holding companies with greater than $500 million in total assets, and all savings and loan holding companies.

Beginning January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank were requiredbegan to comply with the final Basel III rules, although the rules will not be fullyphased-in untilwhich became effective on January 1, 2019. Among other things, the final Basel III rules will impact regulatory capital ratios of banking organizations in the following manner, when fully phased-in:manner:

 

Create a new requirement to maintain a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of not less than 4.5%;

Increase the minimum leverage capital ratio to 4% for all banking organizations (currently 3% for certain banking organizations);

Increase the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio from 4% to 6%; and

Maintain the minimum total risk-based capital ratio at 8%.

33

 

Increase the minimum leverage capital ratio to 4% for all banking organizations (currently 3% for certain banking organizations);

Increase the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio from 4% to 6%; and

Maintain the minimum total risk-based capital ratio at 8%.

In addition, the final Basel III rules when fully phased-in, will subject a banking organizationorganizations to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization diddoes not maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of its total risk-weighted assets. The effect of the capital conservation buffer when fully phased-in, will be to increaseincreases the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7%, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5% for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

The final Basel III rules also changed the capital categories for insured depository institutions for purposes of prompt corrective action. Under the final rules, to be well capitalized, an insured depository institution must maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, and a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%. In addition, the final Basel III rules established more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital and imposed certain deductions from and adjustments to the measure of common equity Tier 1 capital.

Management believes that, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the Company and the Bank would meetmet all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III and the banking agencies’ proposals on a fullyphased-in basis, if such requirements were currently effective. The changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets required by Basel III did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s capital ratios as presented. Management will continue to monitor these and any future proposals submitted by the Corporation’s and Bank’s regulators.

See Note 3 to the Corporation’sCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation regarding the Corporation’sCompany’s calculation of Net Income Per Share - basic and - diluted.

Annualized return on average equity (“ROE”) was 7.42%3.02% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, and 7.64%15.97% for the corresponding period in 2016. For2022. Annualized ROE was 7.26% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, ROE was 7.18% compared to 7.40%2023, and 11.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In both instances, thecorresponding period in 2022. The decrease in ROE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was caused byprimarily the result of a increase in equity balances for both periods.due to the decline in net income and unrealized losses on investments in AOCI.

Book value per share increased to $18.78$7.17 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, compared to $17.42$6.97 at December 31, 2016.2022. The increase in book value per share reflects earnings in excess of dividends and a decrease in other comprehensive loss dueis directly attributable to the increase in fair value ofshareholders’ equity resulting from the Corporation’s investment securities.increase in AOCI caused by the decrease in medium-term interest rates. Average assets for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023 were $1,009,780,775$1,320,107 compared to $996,266,145$1,343,234 for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase was due mainly to an increase inavailable-for-sale securities offset by a decrease in interest bearing due from bank accounts.

2022.

NET INTEREST INCOME / NET INTEREST MARGIN (NIM)

One

The main component of the Corporation’sCompany’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the volume, mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income was $7,414 and $15,092 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $8,763 and $17,050 for the same respective time periods in 2022.

The annualized net interest margin was 2.98%2.55% for the quarterthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023, compared to 3.10%2.78% for the corresponding period of 2016. For2022. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2017, annualized net interest margin was 3.03% compared to 3.11%2.54% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2023 and 2.74% for the corresponding period of 2022. The decrease in net interest margin for both periodsthe three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, when compared to the same periods in 2016,2022, was mainly due to rising funding costs during late 2022 and 2023. In addition, the resultshift from non-interest bearing deposits to higher interest-bearing deposits as of June 30, 2023 increased the decrease in yields on earning assetscost of funds to 147 and a small increase in rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds, as detailed below. Earning assets averaged $934,204,576145 basis point (“bps”) for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. This represents an increase of $11,200,285, or 1.2%, over average earning assets of $923,004,2912023 compared to 33 bps for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022. The increase in average earning assetslinked-quarter interest expense increased for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, isJune 30,2023 by $2,948, or 369.85%, and 5,535, or 353.88%, respectively. Management expects continued pressure on NIM throughout 2023 as deposit competition remains tight.

The average balances of an increasenonaccruing assets are included in investment securities offset by a decrease inthe tables above. Interest income and weighted average yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 21% and a state tax rate of 3.95%, which is net of federal tax benefit.

Net interest bearing duemargin and net interest income are influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors include balance sheet changes in volume, mix and pricing decisions. External factors include changes in market interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, rapidly increasing deposit costs have been the larger driver of decreased profitability. Management believes net interest margin should contract some more in the third quarter and then level off for the remainder of 2023. Management remains focused on loan growth to help offset the increased funding costs.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in interest earned, on a tax equivalent basis, and interest paid resulting from bank accounts.

Interest bearing deposits averaged $613,556,724changes in volume and rates for the Company for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. This represents a decrease of $7,855,457, or 1.3%, from the average of interest bearing deposits of $621,412,181 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This was due, in large part, to a decrease in interest-bearing NOW, money market accounts and certificates of deposit partially offset by an increase in savings accounts.

Other borrowed funds averaged $144,026,510 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This represents an increase of $20,297,790, or 16.4%, over the other borrowed funds of $123,728,720 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase in other borrowed funds was due to a $16,173,285 increase in the securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a $4,260,870 increase in FHLB advances partially offset by a $11,365 decrease in the Agribusiness Enterprise Loan Liability and a $125,000 decrease in Federal Funds Purchased for the three months ended September 30, 2017, when2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest bearing deposits averaged $619,077,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This represents a decrease of $3,190,650, or 0.5%, from the average of interest bearing deposits of $622,267,850 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This was due,same respective periods in large part, to an increase in interest-bearing NOW, money market accounts and savings accounts partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit.

Other borrowed funds averaged $142,245,990 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This represents an increase of $18,477,609, or 15.1%, over the other borrowed funds of $123,678,381 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase in other borrowed funds was due to a $16,502,061 increase in the securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a $2,051,282 increase in FHLB advances partially offset by a $12,595 decrease in the Agribusiness Enterprise Loan Liability and a $63,139 decrease in Federal Funds Purchased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net interest income was $6,719,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $100,792 from $6,820,139 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest rates paid on earning assets and by an increase in earning assets. The changes in volume in earning assets and in deposits and in borrowed funds are discussed above. As for changes in interest rates in the three months ended September 30, 2017, the yields on earning assets decreased and the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds increased from the same period in 2016. The yield on all interest-bearing assets decreased 10 basis points to 3.33% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.43% for the same period in 2016. At the same time, the rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased 4 basis points to 0.44% from 0.40% in the same period in 2016. As longer term interest bearing assets and liabilities mature and reprice, management believes that the yields on interest bearing assets and rates on interest bearing liabilities will both increase.

Net interest income was $20,393,453 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $107,617 from $20,501,070 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in interest rates paid on earning assets partially offset by an increase in earning assets. The changes in volume in earning assets and in deposits and in borrowed funds are discussed above. As for changes in interest rates in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the yields on earning assets decreased and the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds increased from the same period in 2016. The yield on all interest-bearing assets decreased 6 basis points to 3.38% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.44% for the same period in 2016. At the same time, the rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 3 basis points to 0.43% from 0.40% in the same period in 2016. As longer term interest bearing assets and liabilities mature and reprice, management believes that the yields on interest bearing assets and rates on interest bearing liabilities will both increase.

CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

As a natural corollary to the Corporation’sCompany’s lending activities, some loan losses are to be expected. The risk of loss varies with the type of loan being made and the overall creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. The degree of perceived risk is taken into account in establishing the structure of, and interest rates and security for, specific loans and for various types of loans. The CorporationCompany attempts to minimize its credit risk exposure by use of thorough loan application and approval procedures.

The CorporationCompany maintains a program of systematic review of its existing loans. Loans are graded for their overall quality. Those loans, which management determines require further monitoring and supervision, are segregated and reviewed on a regular basis. Significant problem loans are reviewed monthly by the Corporation’sCompany’s management and Board of Directors.

The CorporationCompany charges off that portion of any loan that the Corporation’sCompany’s management and Board of Directors has determined to be a loss. A loan is generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or in part, when exposure beyond the collateral value is apparent, servicing of the unsecured portion has been discontinued or collection is not anticipated based on the borrower’sborrower's financial condition. The general economic conditions in the borrower’s industry influence this determination. The principal amount of any loan that is declared a loss is charged against the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.Company’s ACL.

The Corporation’s allowance for loan lossesCompany’s ACL is designed to provide for loan losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance for loan lossesACL is established through charges to operating expenses in the form of provisions for loancredit losses. Actual loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses. The Board of DirectorsACL. Management determines the amount of the allowance.allowance, and the Board of Directors reviews and approves the ACL. Among the factors considered in determining the allowance for loan lossesACL are the current financial condition of the Corporation’sCompany’s borrowers and the value of security, if any, for their loans. Estimates of future economic conditions and their impact on various industries and individual borrowers are also taken into consideration, as are the Corporation’sCompany’s historical loan loss experience and reports of banking regulatory authorities. As these estimates, factors and evaluations are primarily judgmental, no assurance can be given as to whether the CorporationCompany will sustain loan losses in excess or below its allowance or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio may not require material increases or decreases in such allowance.

Non-interest-bearing and savings increased whileAll deposit accounts except for certificates of deposit and interest-bearing deposits decreased during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023.  The decrease in deposit accounts is directly attributable to customers moving noninterest-bearing deposits to certificates of deposits due to the current rate environment coupled with the aforementioned increased deposit competition.  Management continually monitors the interest rates on loan andtime deposit products to ensure that the CorporationCompany is managing liquidity in line with the rates dictated by the market and our asset and liability management objectives. These rate adjustments impact deposit balances.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The principal objective of our asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing net income and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The Board of Directors of the Bank has oversight of our asset and liability management function, which is managed by our Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Financial Officer meets with our senior executive management team regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to market rate changes, local and national market conditions and market interest rates. That group also reviews our liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions.

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the fair value of all interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have been no material changes outsidea short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair values.

We manage our exposure to interest rates primarily by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business to the contractual obligations set forth in Note 12 to the Corporation’s financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form10-Kbusiness. We do not typically enter into derivative contracts for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The following discussion

We use an interest rate risk simulation model to test the interest rate sensitivity of operations outlines specific risks that could affect the Corporation’s ability to compete, change the Corporation’s risk profile or eventually impact the Corporation’s financial condition or results. The risks the Corporation faces generally are similar to those experienced, to varying degrees, by all financial services companies.

The Corporation’s strategies and its management’s ability to react to changing competitive and economic environments have historically enabled the Corporation to compete effectively and manage risks to acceptable levels. The Corporation has outlined potential risks below that it presently believes could be important; however, other risks may prove tobe important in the future. New risks may emerge at any timenet interest income and the Corporation cannot predict with certainty all potential developments that could affect the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operation. The following discussion highlights potential risks, which could intensify over time orbalance sheet. Instantaneous parallel rate shift dynamicallyscenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in a way that mightprojected net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change the Corporation’s risk profile.

Competition Risks

The market in which the Corporation competes is saturated with community banks seekinginterest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, provide a service-oriented banking experience to individuals and businesses compared with what the Corporation believes is the more rigid and less friendly environment found in larger banks. This requires the Corporation to offer most, if not all, of the products and conveniences that are offered by the larger banks, but with a service differentiation. In doing so, it is imperative that the Corporation identify the lines of business that the Corporationcan excel in, prudently utilize the Corporation’s available capital to acquire the people and platforms required thereof, and executeprepayments on these strategies.

Credit Risks

Like all lenders, the Corporation faces the risk that the Corporation’s customers may not repay their loans and thatsecurities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. We also analyze the realizableeconomic value of collateral may be insufficient to avoidequity as a loss of principal. In the Corporation’s business, some level of credit loss is unavoidable and overall levels of credit loss can vary over time. The Corporation’s ability to manage credit risk depends primarily upon the Corporation’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and the value of collateral, including real estate. The Corporation controls credit risk by diversifying the Corporation’s loan portfolio and managing its composition, and by recording and managing an allowance for expected loan losses in accordance with applicable accounting rules. At the end of September 30, 2017, the Corporation had approximately $3.4 million of available reserves to cover such losses. The models and approaches the Corporation uses to originate and manage loans are regularly reviewed, if necessary or advisable, updated to consider changes in the competitive environment, in real estate prices and other collateral values, and in the economy, among other things, based on the Corporation’s experience originating loans and servicing loan portfolios.

Financing, Funding and Liquidity Risks

One of the most important aspects of management’s efforts to sustain long-term profitability for the Corporation is the managementsecondary measure of interest rate risk. Management’s goalThis is a complementary measure to maximize net interest income within acceptable levelswhere the calculated value is the result of interest-rate risk and liquidity.

the fair value of assets less the fair value of liabilities. The Corporation’s assets and liabilities are principally financial in nature and the resulting earnings thereon are subject to significant variability due to the timing and extent to which the Corporation can reprice the yields on interest-earning assets and the costseconomic value of equity is a longer-term view of interest bearing liabilities as a resultrate risk because it measures the present value of changes in market interest rates. Interest rates in the financial markets affect the Corporation’s decisions on pricing its assets and liabilities, which impacts net interest income, an importantall future cash flow stream for the Corporation. As a result, a substantial partflows. The impact of the Corporation’s risk-management activities are devoted to managing interest-rate risk. Currently, the Corporation does not have any significant risks related to foreign currency exchange, commodities or equity risk exposures.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the Corporation facesimpact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the risktiming and frequency of abnormalities inrate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The yield curve showscomputations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates, applicableand actual results may also differ due to short and long term debt. The curve is steep when short-term rates are much lower than long-term rates, it is flat when short-term rates are equal, or nearly equal, to long-term rates, and it is inverted when short-term rates exceed long-term rates. Historically, the yield curve has been positively sloped. A flat or inverted yield curve tends to decrease net interest margin, as funding costs increase relativeany actions taken in response to the yield on assets. Currently,changing rates.

As part of our asset/liability management strategy, our management has emphasized the yield curve is positively sloped.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

The Corporation operates in a heavily regulated industry and therefore is subject to many banking, deposit, and consumer lending lawsorigination of shorter duration loans as well as the rules and regulations promulgated by the FDIC, FRB, Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ stock market. Failurevariable rate loans to comply with applicable regulations could result in financial or operational penalties. Inaddition, efforts to comply with applicable regulations may increase the Corporation’s costs and/or limit the Corporation’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities. Federal and state regulations significantly limit the types of activities in which the Corporation, as a financial institution, may engage. In addition, the Corporation is subjectnegative exposure to a wide array of other regulations that govern other aspects of how the Corporation conducts business, such as in the areas of employment and intellectual property. Federal and state legislative and regulatory authorities occasionally consider changing these regulationsrate increase. We also desire to acquire deposit transaction accounts, particularly non-interest or adopting new ones. Such actions could limit the amount of interest or fees the Corporation can charge, could restrict the Corporation’s abilitylow interest-bearing non-maturity deposit accounts, whose cost is less sensitive to collect loans or realize on collateral or could materially affect us in other

ways. Additional federal and state consumer protection regulations could also expand the privacy protections afforded to customers of financial institutions, restricting the Corporation’s ability to share or receive customer information and increasing the Corporation’s costs. In addition, changes in accounting rules can significantly affect how the Corporation records and reports assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and earnings.interest rates.

The Corporation also faces litigation risks from customers (individually or in class actions) and from federal or state regulators. Litigation is an unavoidable part of doing business, and the Corporation manages those risks through internal controls, personnel training, insurance, litigation management, the Corporation’s compliance and ethics processes and other means. However, the commencement, outcome and magnitude of litigation cannot be predicted or controlled with any certainty.

Accounting Estimate Risks

The preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. The Corporation’s most critical estimate is the level of the allowance for credit losses. However, other estimates occasionally become highly significant, especially in volatile situations such as litigation and other loss contingency matters. Estimates are made at specific points in time as actual events unfold, estimates are adjusted accordingly. Due to the inherent nature of these estimates, it is possible that, at some time in the future, the Corporation may significantly increase the allowance for credit losses or sustain credit losses that are significantly higher than the provided allowance, or the Corporation may make some other adjustment that will differ materially from the estimates that the Corporation previously made.

Expense Control

Expenses and other costs directly affect the Corporation’s earnings. The Corporation’sability to successfully manage expenses is important to its long-term profitability. Many factors can influence the amount of the Corporation’s expenses, as well as how quickly they grow. As the Corporation’s businesses change or expand, additional expenses can arise from asset purchases, structural reorganization, evolving business strategies, and changing regulations, among other things. The Corporation manages expense growth and risk through a variety of means, including actual versus budget management, imposition of expense authorization, and procurement coordination and processes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The management of the Corporation,Company, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filingsthe reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’sCompany’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisiondecisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report).

There were no changes to the Corporation’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The CorporationCompany is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, all of which are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provisions are made for anticipated losses whenever management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not likely have a material impact on the Corporation’sCompany’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
