The Bank operates under a national charter and therefore is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal ~~Reserve Board.~~Reserve.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the ~~Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.~~Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, but do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position at March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, consolidated shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017.~~2018.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end and the results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year due in part to global economic and financial market conditions, interest rates, access to sources of liquidity, market competition and interruptions of business processes. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassification— Within interest income, equity investment income for 2018 has been reclassified from federal funds and other interest-earning assets to a separate line and within interest expense, repurchase agreements and FHLB advance expense have been combined and notes payable and junior subordinated debt have also been combined. These reclassifications were made to conform to the 2019 financial statement presentation in the consolidated statements of income.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU ~~2014‑09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~2016-02, Leases (Topic ~~606):~~ ~~ASU 2014‑09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts~~842) on January 1, 2019, using the ~~transfer~~effective date as the date of ~~goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.~~initial adoption. The Company ~~adopted~~elected to apply certain practical expedients for transition, and under those expedients the Company did not reassess prior accounting decisions regarding the identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases existing at the effective date. The Company also elected to use hindsight in determining lease term when considering options to extend the lease and excluded short-term leases (defined as lease terms of 12 months or less). The Company elected to separate non-lease components from lease components in its application of ASU ~~2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 with no significant impact to~~2016-02. At adoption, the Company recorded right-of-use assets totaling $13.2 million, which represented the Company’s ~~consolidated financial statements as~~right to use, or control the use of, a specified assets for their lease terms and the Company recorded lease liabilities totaling $15.5 million, which represented the Company’s ~~revenue is primarily comprised~~liability to make lease payments under these leases. Accrued lease obligations and lease incentive liabilities totaling $2.3 million that were in other liabilities at December 31, 2018 were reversed as part of ~~net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from~~ the ~~scope~~adoption. The ASU 2016-02 standard applied to all leases existing at the date of ASU 2014‑09 and noninterest income. The Company’s revenue recognition for revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09, including but not limited to service charges on deposits accounts, did not materially change from previous practice.

~~ASU, 2016‑01,~~ ~~Financial Instruments‑Overall (Subtopic 825‑10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.~~ The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016‑01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measuredinitial

See Note ~~12 – Fair Value Disclosures.~~

~~ASU 2016‑15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments~~. ASU 2016‑15 provides guidance related to certain cash flow issues in order to reduce the current and potential future diversity in practice. The Company implemented ASU 2016‑15 effective January 1, 2018. The Company has elected to use the nature of distribution approach to determine the nature of distribution approach to determine whether income received from equity investments is operating or investing on the cash flow statement. Based on the nature of previous income streams from our equity investments, we expect these amounts will continue to be reported in cash provided by operating activities on the cash flow statement and the other items in ASU 2016-15 will be considered if such items arise.

~~ASU 2016‑16,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra‑Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory~~. ASU 2016‑16 provides guidance stating that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra‑entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company implemented ASU 2016‑16 effective January 1, 2018. As we have not historically transferred assets between entities, we expect no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

~~ASU 2016‑18,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash~~. ASU 2016‑18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning‑of‑period and end‑of‑period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company implemented ASU 2016‑18 effective January 1, 2018. The only cash the Company has considered to be restricted is the amount of our Federal Bank reserves, which we had already included in cash and equivalents in the consolidated financial statements.

~~ASU 2017‑01,~~ ~~Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~. ASU 2017‑01 clarifies the definition and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. ASU 2017‑01 is intended to provide guidance when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company implemented ASU 2017‑01 effective January 1, 2018 and will follow this guidance for any future acquisitions or dispositions.

~~ASU 2017‑09,~~ ~~Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718):~~ ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes in terms or conditions of a share‑based award require application of modification accounting. The Company implemented ASU 2017‑09 effective January 1, 2018 and will follow this guidance for any future modifications of share-based awards.16.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU ~~2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842):~~ ASU 2016‑02 will, among other things, require lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right‑of‑use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016‑02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors. Certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ~~ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~.” ASU 2016‑02 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and will require transition using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016‑02 on the consolidated financial statements.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~ASU 2016‑13,~~ 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial ~~Instruments~~.Instruments. ASU ~~2016‑13~~2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU ~~2016‑13~~2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on ~~available‑for‑~~available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU ~~2016‑13~~2016-13 will be effective on January 1, 2020.

The Company is ~~currently evaluating~~in the ~~potential impact~~process of developing its process and methodology for implementing ASU 2016-13, with the assistance of an outside consultant. Existing technology is being adapted to conform to the requirements of ASU ~~2016‑13~~2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 will require changes to the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures for credit losses on ~~the consolidated~~ financial ~~statements.~~

~~ASU 2017‑04,~~ ~~Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.~~ ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In addition, the amendment eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. For public companies, ASU 2017‑04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.instruments. The Company is ~~currently evaluating~~continuing to evaluate the ~~potential~~ impact of this ~~pronouncement.~~

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASU 2014-09, as applicable. A majority of~~pronouncement on the ~~Company’s revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASU 2014-09, such as interest~~allowance for credit losses and fees on loans, income from debt securities, income from federal funds and interest-bearing deposits. Our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASU 2014-09, are included in our condensed consolidated income statements in noninterest income. See table below. The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed and charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity.

~~Net gain on sale of assets~~—–this is comprised of gains on sales of fixed assets, gains on sales of loans and gains on sales of other real estate owned, or OREO. Gains on sales of loans are excluded from ASU 2014-09. The performance obligation in the sale of OREO or fixed assets is delivery of control over the property to the buyer. The Company does not typically provide financing and the transaction price is identified in the purchase and sale agreement. If the Company provides financing, the Company must determine a transaction price depending on if the sales contract is at market terms and taking into account the credit risk inherent in the sale agreement.

There were no securities sold in the three months ended March 31, 2018. At March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, debt securities with a carrying amount of approximately ~~$60.9~~$57.5 million and ~~$58.7~~$49.9 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Company held ~~52 and 52~~187 debt securities at March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and 167 debt securities at December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, that were in a gross unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as illustrated in the table below. The unrealized losses are attributable primarily to changes in market interest rates relative to those available when the debt securities were acquired. The fair value of these debt securities is expected to recover as the debt securities reach their maturity or re‑pricing date, or if changes in market rates for such investments decline. Management does not believe that any of the debt securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, management believes the unrealized losses detailed in the table below are temporary and no impairment loss has been recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017.~~

NOTE 3: EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The Company’s unconsolidated investments that are considered equity securities as they represent ownership interests such as common or preferred stock were as follows for the dates indicated below.

Table of Contents

Banks that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, or FHLB, are required to maintain a stock investment in the FHLB calculated as a percentage of aggregate outstanding mortgages, outstanding FHLB advances and other financial instruments. Banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System are required to annually subscribe to Federal Reserve Bank stock in specific ratios to the Bank’s equity. Although FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank Stock are considered equity securities, they do not have readily determinable fair values because ownership is restricted and they lack a market. These investments can be sold back only at their par value of $100 per share and can only be sold to the Federal Home Loan Banks or Federal Reserve Banks or to another member institution. In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company, because of the oversight role exercised by regulators in the process of budgeting and approving dividends. As a result, these investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

The Company also holds an investment in the stock of The Independent Bankers Financial Corporation, or TIB. This investment has limited marketability. As a result, these investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. The Company has investments in two private investment funds and a limited partnership. These investments are qualified Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, investments under the Small Business Investment Company program of the Small Business Administration, or SBA. There are limited to no observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical investments or similar investments from the same issuers that are actively traded and as a result, these investments are stated at cost. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in outstanding unfunded commitments to these funds, which are subject to call.

The Company’s equity investments are evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of qualitative indicators.

Typical modifications primarily relate to extending the amortization periods of the loans, converting the loans to interest only, or adjusting payment amounts for principal and interest. A significant portion of the loans modified as troubled debt restructurings by the Company were previously on nonaccrual status and reported as impaired loans prior to

~~Table of Contents~~

~~restructuring and as a result, the modifications did not impact the Company’s determination of the allowance for loan losses.~~

At March 31, 2018, the Company has an outstanding commitment to potentially fund $64,700 on a line of credit of $7.5 million on a loan restructured in 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Company had no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers with loans classified as troubled debt restructuring. The recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings was ~~$18.0~~$11.0 million and ~~$18.2~~$11.4 million as of March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1.6 million and $1.8 million of restructured loans were nonaccrual loans and $9.4 million and $9.6 million of restructured loans were accruing interest as of those periods. At March 31, 2019, the Company had an outstanding commitment to potentially fund $1.5 million on a line of credit restructured prior to 2018. At December 31, 2018, the Company had an outstanding commitment to potentially fund $2.1 million on a line of credit restructured prior to 2018.

There were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructured loan within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default. For purposes of this disclosure, a default is a loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring where the borrower is 90 days past due or results in the foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral.

NOTE 5:6: ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers the loans in its portfolio by segment, class and risk grade. Management uses judgment to determine the estimation method that fits the credit risk characteristics of each portfolio segment or class. To facilitate the assessment of risk, management reviews reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. The Company utilizes an independent third-party loan review service to review the credit risk assigned to loans on a periodic basis and the results are presented to management for review.

Risk Grading

As part of the on‑going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses, management assigns and tracks loan grades ~~to be~~as described below are used as credit quality indicators. ~~The following is a general description of the loan grades the Company used as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:~~

~~Table of Contents~~

level of risk, volatility, or susceptibility to weaknesses in the economy. This higher risk grade may be assigned due to out of date credit information, as well as collateral information which may need to be updated for current market value in order to allow a credit quality analysis of the credit.

Special Mention—Credits in this category contain more than the normal amount of risk and are referred to as “special mention” in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These credits possess clearly identifiable temporary weaknesses or trends that, if not corrected or revised, may result in a condition that exposes the Company to higher level of risk of loss.

Substandard—Credits in this category are “substandard” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and of unsatisfactory credit quality with well‑defined weaknesses or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Credits in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. ~~These credits are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.~~ Often, the assets in this category will have a valuation allowance representative of management’s estimated loss that is probable to be incurred. ~~Substandard loans may also be placed on nonaccrual status as~~Loans deemed ~~appropriate by management. Loans~~ substandard and on nonaccrual status are considered impaired and are evaluated for impairment.

Doubtful—Credits in this category are considered “doubtful” in accordance with regulatory guidelines, are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near‑term event which lacks certainty. Generally, these credits will have a valuation allowance based upon management’s best estimate of the losses probable to occur in the liquidation of the debt.

Loss—Credits in this category are considered “loss” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and are considered uncollectible and of such little value as to question their continued existence as assets on the Company’s financial statements. Such credits are to be charged off or charged down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. This category does not intend to imply that the debt or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that the debt will be forgiven.

The Company had no loans graded ~~Loss~~“loss” or ~~Doubtful~~“doubtful” at March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

NOTE ~~10:~~12: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT

~~Crosby Statutory Trust I~~

Prior to being acquired in 2008 by the Company, Crosby Bancshares, Inc. received proceeds of junior subordinated debt held by a trust that is funded by common securities purchased by Crosby Bancshares, Inc. and trust preferred securities in the amount of $5.0 million that are held by other investors. Funds raised by the trust totaling $5.2 million were loaned to Crosby Bancshares, Inc. in the form of junior subordinated debt. This debt was assumed by the Company at the date of acquisition. This debt is generally subordinated to other debt and deposits reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. The subordinated debt securities have a due date of December 15, 2035 and interest is payable quarterly.

The interest rate of the debt is equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate of U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, or LIBOR, plus 1.44%, reset quarterly, which was 3.56% at March 31, 2018 and 3.03% at December 31, 2017. The Company has the right to redeem these debt securities in whole, or from time to time in part, provided that all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid.

Funds raised by the trust totaling $5.7 million were loaned to County Bancshares, Inc. in the form of junior subordinated debt. This debt was transferred to the Company at the date of acquisition. In 2015, the Company purchased approximately $4.1 million of the outstanding preferred securities, reducing the outstanding preferred securities to $1.6 million. ~~This debt is generally subordinated~~

In November 2018, the County Bancshares Trust I, or County Trust, agreed to ~~other debt~~redeem all of the County Trust’s issued and ~~deposits reflected on~~outstanding trust preferred securities upon concurrent redemption made by the ~~consolidated balance sheets presented.

NOTE ~~12:~~14: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is ~~defined as~~ the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

In estimating fair value, we use valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.

Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions ~~that market participants would use~~used in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Valuation inputs are categorized in a three-level hierarchy, ~~from~~that gives the highest priority to ~~lowest level of observable inputs. The highest level of inputs are~~quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest ~~level of inputs are~~priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—~~Inputs are based upon unadjusted~~Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Table of Contents

Level 2 Inputs—~~Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1~~Other inputs observable inputs that ~~are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These~~may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active ~~inputs~~or other ~~than quoted prices~~inputs that are observable for the asset or liability ~~(for example,~~such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default ~~rates)~~rates or inputs that are ~~derived principally from~~observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 2 investments consist primarily of obligations of U.S. government sponsored enterprises and agencies, obligations of state and municipal subdivisions, corporate bonds and mortgage‑backed securities.data.

Level 3 Inputs—~~Significant unobservable~~Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

During the three months ~~ending~~ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon ~~internally developed~~ models that primarily use observable ~~market‑based~~market-based parameters as inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value ~~of certain financial instruments~~ could result in a different estimate of fair value. Fair value atestimates are based on judgements regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the ~~reporting date.~~

For those debt securities classified as Level 2, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider 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 prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies for reasonableness. The other securities in the table below are mutual funds and the fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted market prices which are considered Level 1 inputs.

Interest Rate ~~Swaps with Customers:~~ ~~For interest rate swaps with customers classified as Level 2, the~~Swaps: The Company obtains fair value measurements for its interest rate swaps from an independent pricing service which uses the income approach.

~~Non‑Financial Assets and Non‑Financial Liabilities~~

The Company does not have any non‑financial assets or non‑financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain non‑financial assets measured at fair value on a non‑recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non‑financial assets and non‑financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test and intangible assets and other non‑financial long‑lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Non‑financial assets measured at fair value on a non‑recurring basis during the reported periods include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge‑off to the allowance for loan losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write‑down included in other non‑interest expense. The fair value of a foreclosed asset is estimated using Level 2 inputs ~~based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2018~~ and, ~~during 2017, we used Level 2 inputs for our fair value measurements for foreclosed assets.~~

Banks that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB, are required to maintain a stock investment in the FHLB calculated as a percentage of aggregate outstanding mortgages, outstanding FHLB advances and other financial instruments. Banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System are required to annually subscribe to Federal Reserve Bank stock in specific ratios to the Bank’s equity. Although FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank Stock are considered equity securities, they do not have readily determinable fair values because ownership is restricted and they lack a market. These investments can be sold back only at their par value of $100 per share can only be sold to the Federal Home Loan Banks or Federal Reserve Banks or to another member institution. In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company, because of the oversight role exercised by regulators in the process of budgeting and approving dividends. As a result, these investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

The Company has investments in two private investment funds and a limited partnership. These investments are qualified Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, investments under the Small Business Investment Company, or SBIC, program of the SBA. There are limited to no observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical investments or similar investments from the same issuers that are actively traded and as a result, these investments are stated at cost.

Our equity investments are evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of qualitative indicators. Impairment indicators to be considered include, but are not limited to (i) a significant deterioration in the earnings, performance, credit rating, asset quality or business prospects of the investee, (ii) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the investee, (iii) a significant adverse change in the general market conditions of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, (iv) a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less that the carrying amount of that investment. There were no such qualitative indicators as of March 31, 2018.

NOTE ~~13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND~~15: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ~~WITH OFF‑BALANCE‑SHEET RISK~~

~~Unfunded Loan Commitments~~

The Company is party to various financial instruments with off‑balance‑sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit for loans in process, commercial lines of credit, overdraft protection lines, and standby letters of credit at both fixed and variable rates of interest. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s 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 notional amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on‑balance‑sheet instruments. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case‑by‑case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

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 many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to our customers.

~~Derivative Financial Instruments~~

The Company has outstanding interest rate swap contracts in which the Bank entered into an interest rate swap with a customer and entered into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution at the same time. These interest rate swap contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for mitigating interest rate risk of the Bank. The objective of the transactions is to allow the Bank’s customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate.

In connection with each swap transaction, the Bank agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Bank agrees to pay a ~~third‑party~~third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. Because the Bank acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are designed to offset each other and would not significantly impact the Company’s operating results except in certain situations where there is a significant deterioration in the customer’s credit worthiness or that of the counterparties. At March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, no such deterioration was determined by management.

~~Table of Contents~~

At both March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had 1413 interest rate swap agreements outstanding with borrowers ~~with a corresponding number outstanding with correspondent~~and financial institutions. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges and changes in the net fair value are recognized in noninterest income or expense. Fair value amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities. Interest rates on the Company’s swap agreements are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate of the U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, or Libor. Derivative instruments outstanding as of ~~as of~~ the dates ~~listed~~ shown below were as follows:

~~Lease Commitments~~NOTE 18: REVENUE RECOGNITION

ASU 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from interest income on financial assets, which is not within the scope of ASC 606. Income from changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life is also not within the scope of ASC 606.

The Company’s revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606 are included in its consolidated income statements in noninterest income. See table below. The Company’s revenue recognition for revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606 did not materially change from previous practice. The Company ~~leases several~~generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed and charged at a point in time based on activity.

Deposit account service charges are fees from the Company’s customers for ~~operating leases~~deposit related services, such as monthly account maintenance and activity or transaction-based fees. Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction is completed for activity or transaction-based fees. Payment for such performance obligations are received at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Net gain on sale of ~~premises~~assets includes gains on sales of fixed assets, gains on sales of loans and ~~equipment was approximately $465,000~~gains on sales of other real estate owned, or OREO. Gains on sales of loans are excluded from ASC 606. The performance obligation in the sale of OREO or fixed assets is delivery of control over the property to the buyer. The Company does not typically provide financing and ~~$513,000~~the transaction price is identified in the purchase and sale agreement. If the Company provides financing, the Company must determine a transaction price depending on if the sales contract is at market terms and taking into account the credit risk inherent in the sale agreement.

Card interchange fees are fees generated from debit card transactions. Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed, which is generally when a transaction is completed. Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the ~~three months ended March 31, 2018~~time the performance obligation is satisfied.

Non-performance based restricted stock grants vest over the service period in equal increments over a period of two to five years, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The number of shares earned under the Company’s performance-based restricted stock award agreements is based on the achievement of certain branch production goals. Compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock is recognized for the probable award level over the period estimated to achieve the performance conditions and other goals, on a straight-line basis. If the probable award level and/or the period estimated to be achieved change, compensation expense will be adjusted via a cumulative catch-up adjustment to reflect these changes. The performance conditions goals must be achieved within five years or the awards expire. The number of performance-based shares granted presented in the table below is based upon the attainment of the maximum number of shares possible to be earned.

NOTE ~~16:~~21: REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Capital

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off‑balance‑sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Company and the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes common stock and related capital surplus, net of treasury stock, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Company and the Bank elected to opt‑out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 for both the Company and the Bank is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities, and subject to transition provisions.

~~When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the~~The Basel III Capital Rules ~~will~~ require the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 7.0% upon full implementation), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk‑weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation) and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and ~~will be~~was phased in over a four‑year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it ~~reaches~~reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Company and the Bank. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and, as detailed above, effectively increases the minimum required risk‑weighted capital ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer and, if applicable, the countercyclical capital buffer) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

Dividend Restrictions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward‑looking statements. These forward‑looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward‑looking nature. These forward‑looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward‑looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward‑looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward‑looking statements.

There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward‑looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks described in Part I –— Item 1A. –— Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the following:

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward‑looking statements. Any forward‑looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward‑looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward‑looking statements.

~~Overview~~

We are a bank holding company that operates through our wholly‑owned subsidiary, CommunityBank of Texas National Association, in Houston and Beaumont/East Texas market areas. As of March 31, 2018, we had consolidated total assets of $3.1 billion, total loans of $2.3 billion, total deposits of $2.6 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $451.6 million.

The following discussion and analysis ~~presents~~of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item I of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” and “the Company” refer to CBTX, Inc., a Texas corporation, and its consolidated ~~basis. However, because we conduct our material business operations through~~subsidiaries. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “CommunityBank of Texas” or “the Bank” refer to CommunityBank of Texas, National Association, ~~the discussion and analysis relate to activities primarily conducted by the Bank. As a~~our wholly‑owned bank ~~holding company that operates~~subsidiary.

Overview

We operate through one segment, community ~~banking, we generate most~~banking. Our primary source of funds is deposits and our primary use of funds is loans. Most of our revenue is generated from interest on loans and investments. We incur interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds as well as noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses.

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, calculated as the difference between interest income on interest‑earning assets, such as loans and securities and interest expense on interest‑bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest‑earning assets or pay on interest‑bearing liabilities, as well as in the volume and types of interest‑earning assets, interest‑bearing and noninterest‑bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets.

Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in our loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in Texas, as well as developments affecting the real estate, technology, financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing and energy sectors within our target markets and throughout the state of Texas. We maintain diversity in our loan portfolio as a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. Our focus on lending to small to medium‑sized businesses and professionals in our market areas has resulted in a diverse loan portfolio comprised primarily of core relationships. We carefully monitor exposure to certain asset classes to minimize the impact of a downturn in the value of such assets.

We seek to remain competitive with respect to interest rates on loans and deposits, as well as prices on fee‑based services, which are typically significant competitive factors within the banking and financial services industry. Many of our competitors are much larger financial institutions that have greater financial resources than we do and compete aggressively for market share. Through our relationship‑driven, community banking strategy, a significant portion of our continued growth has been through referral business from our existing customers and professionals in our markets including attorneys, accountants and other professional service providers.

The Bank is the subject of an investigation by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury regarding the Bank’s compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. The Bank is cooperating with this investigation. The costs to respond to and cooperate with FinCEN’s investigation have been material over the course of the period of this report, and we expect to continue to incur material fees and expenses regarding this matter at least through the completion of FinCEN’s investigation.

Net Interest Income

~~Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, calculated as~~ for the difference between interest income on interest‑earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest‑bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield and rates paid on interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, respectively. Changes in the amount and type of interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities also impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (i) yields on our loans and other interest‑earning assets, (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (iii) our net interest spread and (iv) our net interest margin. Because noninterest‑bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest‑bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity also fund interest‑earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest‑bearing sources.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$29.0~~$33.3 million, compared to ~~$25.8~~$29.0 million for three months ended March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, an increase of ~~$3.2~~$4.3 million, or ~~12.41%~~14.8%. For ~~the~~ three months ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, net interest margin and net interest spread were ~~4.19%~~4.53% and ~~3.93%~~4.07%, respectively, compared to ~~3.93%~~4.19% and ~~3.69%~~3.93% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017.~~ 2018.

The increase in ~~the interest margin and~~ net interest ~~spread is~~income in the first quarter of 2019 from the first quarter of 2018 was primarily ~~attributed~~due to higher average loans and higher average yields on loans and higher average federal funds sold, that were partially offset by the impact of higher rates on interest-bearing deposits. Average loans increased in the first quarter of 2019 due to organic growth and the increase in loan yields reflects increased rates in the ~~average outstanding balances and average yields for our loans and securities portfolios. Changes~~market. The increase in rates ~~paid~~ on ~~interest‑bearing~~interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 2019 mainly due to competitive stress on rates primarily for ~~the three months ended March 31, 2018~~certificates of deposit and ~~March 31, 2017 had a minimal impact~~money market accounts. Although rates have increased on the ~~net interest margin.~~Company’s interest-bearing deposits, they remain a low cost source of funds compared to other sources such as debt.

Tax equivalent net interest margin, which is defined as net interest income adjusted for tax‑free income divided by average interest‑earning assets, was 4.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 4.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Tax equivalent adjustments to net interest margin are the result of increasing income from tax‑free securities and loans by an amount equal to the taxes that would have been paid if the income were fully taxable based on a federal tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 35% for 2017, thus making tax‑exempt yields comparable to taxable asset yields. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the adjustments were $270,000 and $614,000, respectively.

The following table presents an analysis of net interest income and net interest spread for the periods indicated, including average outstanding balances for each major category of interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid on such assets or liabilities, respectively. The table also sets forth the net interest margin on average total interest‑earning assets for the same periods. Interest earned on loans that are classified as nonaccrual is not recognized in income; however, the balances are reflected in average outstanding balances for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the amount of interest income

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is an expense ~~we use~~used to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed appropriate by management to absorb inherent losses on existing loans. ~~For a description of the factors considered by our management in determining the allowance for loan losses see “—Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses.”~~ The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$865,000,~~$1.1 million, compared to ~~$960,000~~$865,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The provisions in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 reflect the increase in loans during those periods.

Noninterest Income

Our primary sources of recurring noninterest income are deposit account service charges, gains on the sale of assets, card interchange fees and income from bank‑owned life insurance. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees to the extent they exceed the direct loan origination costs, which are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.

For the three months ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, noninterest income totaled ~~$3.4~~$3.5 million, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$87,000,~~$132,000, or ~~2.52%~~3.9%, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~following tables present,~~major categories of noninterest income for the periods indicated ~~the major categories of noninterest income:~~were as follows:

Deposit Account Service Charges. The Company earns fees from its customers for deposit related services and these fees are a significant component of our noninterest income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $151,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 predominately due to an increase in non- sufficient and account analysis charges incurred by our deposit customers.

Net Gain on Sale of Assets. Net gain on sale of assets consists of the gains associated with the sale of fixed assets, loans and other real estate owned, or OREO. Net gain on sale of assets ~~was $130,000~~decreased $42,000 or 32.3% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018, a decrease of $234,000, or 64.29%, over~~2019, compared to the same period in ~~2017,~~2018, primarily due ~~to decreased~~lower gains on sales of ~~OREO in 2018.~~loans held for sale during the 2019, partially offset by higher gains on SBA loans.

Card Interchange Fees. The Company earns card interchange fees from merchants as an issuer of debit cards. Card interchange fees decreased $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, due a decrease in the volume of such transactions.

Earnings on bank-owned life insurance. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees, ~~which~~that are carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their cash surrender value. Changes in the cash surrender value of the policies are recorded in noninterest income. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance ~~increased $125,000~~decreased $21,000 during the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2017~~2018.

Other. This category includes a variety of other income‑producing activities, including partnership and investment fund income, other loan fees, swap origination charges, wire transfer fees, credit card program income and other fee income. Other noninterest income increased $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period of the prior year due ~~primarily~~ to ~~purchases between those periods.~~a vendor rebate received during 2019 based on the volume of 2018 activity.

Noninterest Expense

Generally, noninterest expense is composed of employee expenses and costs associated with operating ~~our~~ facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Noninterest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy expenses, depreciation and amortization of our facilities and our furniture, fixtures and office equipment, professional and director fees, regulatory fees, including FDIC assessments, data processing expenses, printing and office supplies, amortization of intangibles, and advertising and marketing expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, noninterest expense totaled ~~$20.3~~$22.6 million, an increase of ~~$1.9~~$2.3 million, or ~~10.08%~~11.3%, compared to ~~$18.4~~$20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2017.~~

Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and ~~employee~~ benefits ~~are the largest component of noninterest~~increased $1.1 million resulting from annual salary increases in 2019 and increased stock compensation expense and include payroll expense, the cost of incentive compensation, benefit plans, health insurance and payroll taxes. Salaries and employee benefits were $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $1.3 million, or 11.13%, compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2017. These increases were due to ~~increases in salaries and incentive compensation, health insurance premiums and~~restricted stock ~~compensation expense.~~grants made February 1, 2019.

Professional and Director Fees. Professional and director fees, which include legal, audit, loan review and consulting fees were ~~$919,000~~$2.1 million and ~~$625,000~~$919,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The increase ~~of $294,000~~during 2019 was primarily due to anlegal fees of $1.1 million included in professional and director fees in the current quarter. The increase in ~~audit~~professional fees during the first quarter largely is the result of fees incurred in the Bank’s responding and ~~consulting fees.~~

~~Advertising and Marketing Expenses.~~ ~~Advertising and promotion‑related expenses were $506,000 and $179,000 for~~cooperating with an investigation by FinCEN regarding the ~~three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in media costs associated~~Bank’s compliance with the ~~Company’s branding campaign that began early in~~Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. We expect to continue to incur material fees and expenses regarding this matter until the ~~second quarter of 2017 and continued into 2018.~~investigation is completed.

Income Tax Expense

The amount of income tax expense ~~we incur~~ is impacted by the amounts of our pre‑tax income, tax‑exempt income and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at current income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates

Table of Contents

are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

~~For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017,~~The provision for income tax expense ~~totaled $2.1 million~~ and ~~$3.0 million, respectively, and our~~ effective tax rates for the periods shown below were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019	2018
Provision for income tax expense	$ 2,599	$ 2,139
Effective tax rate	19.9%	19.0%

The differences between the federal statutory rate ~~for those periods was 19.0%~~of 21% and ~~30.7%, respectively. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted December 22, 2017 and lowered~~ the ~~corporate federal income~~effective tax ~~rate~~rates presented in the ~~U.S. from 35%~~table above were largely attributable to ~~21%.~~permanent differences primarily related to tax exempt interest and bank‑owned life insurance.

Total liabilities decreased $6.7 million primarily due to a $15.3 million decrease in deposits, partially offset by an increase ~~in loans~~ of ~~$43.3 million.~~$15.1 million due to implementation of the new lease accounting standard. See Note 1 and Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the new lease accounting standard. See further analysis of the other changes in the related discussions that follow.

Nonperforming Assets

~~Loans~~Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, loans that are ~~considered~~accruing over 90 days past due ~~if the required principal~~ and ~~interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans~~foreclosed assets. Generally loans are placed on nonaccrual 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 on nonaccrual status whether or not such loans are considered past due. In general, we place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due. We also place loans on nonaccrual status if they are lessmore than 90 days past due ifand/or the collection of principal or interest is in doubt. ~~When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed from income. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess~~The components 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, in management’s opinion, reasonably assured.

~~Potential Problem Loans~~Risk Grading

~~From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans in one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. Within the pass category, we classify loans into one~~As part of the ~~following three subcategories based on perceived credit risk, including repayment capacity and collateral security: high quality, good and satisfactory. The classifications~~on‑going monitoring of ~~loans reflect a judgment about~~ the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. We review the ratings of our credits on a monthly basis. Ratings are adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss that is believed to be inherent in each credit as of each monthly reporting period. Our methodology is structured so that specific reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality ~~(and a corresponding increase in risk~~of the Company’s loan portfolio and ~~loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in~~methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses, management assigns and tracks loan grades as described below are used as credit quality ~~(and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).~~indicators.

Pass— Credits in this category ~~are considered~~ ~~“pass” which indicates prudent underwriting and a normal~~contain an acceptable amount of risk. The range of risk within these credits can vary from little to no risk with cash securing a credit, to a level of risk that requires a strong secondary source of repayment on the debt. Pass credits with a higher level of risk may be to borrowers that are higher leveraged, less well capitalized or in an industry or economic area that is known to carry a higher level of risk, volatility, or susceptibility to weaknesses in the economy. This higher risk grade may be assigned due to out of date credit information, as well as collateral information, which may need to be updated for current market value in order to allow a credit quality analysis of the credit.

Table of Contents

Loss— Credits in this category are considered “loss” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and are considered uncollectible and of such little value as to question their continued existence as assets on the Company’s financial statements. Such credits are to be charged off or charged down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. This category does not intend to imply that the debt or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that the debt will be forgiven.

The ~~following tables summarize the~~Company had no loans graded “loss” or “doubtful” at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Allowance for Loan Losses

~~We maintain~~The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that represents management’s best estimate of the loan losses and risks inherent in ~~our~~the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance for loan losses should not be interpreted as an indication that charge‑offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of our allowance for loan losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in ~~our~~the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. ~~Please see~~See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.”

In reviewing ~~our~~the loan portfolio, ~~we consider~~the Company considers risk elements applicable to particular loan types or categories to assess the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements ~~we consider~~considered include:

Commercial and industrial loans—the debt service coverage ratio (income from the business in excess of operating expenses compared to loan repayment requirements), the operating results of the commercial, industrial or professional enterprise, the borrower’s business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income and operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral;

Commercial real estate loans and multi‑family residential loans—the debt service coverage ratio, operating results of the owner in the case of owner‑occupied properties, the loan‑to‑value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the volatility of income, property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;

1‑4 family residential mortgage loans— the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt‑to‑income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan‑to‑value ratio and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral; and

Construction and development loans—the perceived feasibility of the project including the ability to sell developed lots or improvements constructed for resale or the ability to lease property constructed for lease, the quality and nature of contracts for presale or prelease, if any, experience and ability of the developer and loan‑to‑value ratio.

~~As of March 31, 2018,~~Activity in the ~~allowance for loan losses totaled $25.3 million, or 1.08% of gross loans and as of December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses totaled $24.8 million, or 1.07%, of gross loans. Our~~ allowance for loan losses as of ~~March 31, 2018, increased by $571,000 or 2.30%, compared to December 31, 2017 due to~~ the ~~increase in loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.~~dates indicated was as follows:

The contractual maturity of a collateralized mortgage obligation or mortgage‑backed security is the date at which the last underlying mortgage matures and is not a reliable indicator of their expected life because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. The weighted-average life of ~~our~~the securities portfolio was ~~5.6~~4.7 years with an estimated modified duration of ~~4.9~~4.1 years as of March 31, ~~2018. As of March 31, 2018, we did not own securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, for which aggregate adjusted cost exceeded 10.0%~~2019.

A portion of the ~~consolidated shareholders’ equity.~~debt securities have contractual maturities extending beyond 10 years, bear fixed rates of interest and are collateralized by residential mortgages. Repayment of principal on these bonds is primarily dependent on the cash flows received from payments on the underlying collateral to the bond issuer and therefore, the likelihood of prepayment is impacted by the economic environment. During a period of increasing interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities do not tend to experience heavy prepayments and as a result, the average lives of these securities are lengthened. If interest rates fall, prepayments tend to increase and as a result the lives of these securities are shortened.

Deposits

We offer a variety of deposit products, which have a wide range of interest rates and terms, including demand, savings, money market and time accounts. We rely primarily on competitive pricing policies, convenient locations, electronic delivery channels and personalized service to attract and retain these deposits. Total deposits as of March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, were ~~$2.6~~$2.8 billion, a decrease of ~~$3.3~~$15.3 million, or ~~0.13%~~0.6%, compared to ~~$2.6 billion as of~~ December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. Noninterest‑bearing deposits as of March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, were ~~$1.1~~$1.2 billion, an increase of ~~$10.7~~$46.1 million, or ~~0.97%~~3.9%, compared to ~~$1.1 billion as of~~ December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. Total interest‑bearing account balances as of March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, were $1.5 billion, a decrease of ~~$14.0~~$61.4 million, or ~~0.94%~~3.9% from ~~$1.5 billion as of~~ December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The changes in deposits from December 31, ~~2017~~2018 to March 31, ~~2018~~2019 are due to normal fluctuations in customer activities.

Borrowings

Frost Line of Credit. ~~On December 13, 2017, the~~The Company has entered into a loan agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with Frost Bank, which provides for a $30.0 million revolving line of credit, or Line of Credit. The Loan Agreement was amended and restated on December 13, 2018 and, as amended, is referred to as the Amended Agreement. The Company can make draws on the Line of Credit for a period of 12 months beginning on the date of the ~~Loan~~Amended Agreement, after which the Company will not be permitted to make further draws and the outstanding balance will amortize over a period of 60 months. Interest accrues on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to the maximum “Latest” U.S. prime rate of interest per annum and payable quarterly in the first 12 months and thereafter quarterly principal and interest payments are required over a term of 60 months. The entire outstanding balance and unpaid interest is payable in full on December 13, ~~2023.~~2024.

As of March 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings on this line and the Company did not draw on this line during the period from December 13, 2017, when the Company entered the agreement, to March 31, 2018.

~~Junior Subordinated Debt.~~ In connection with the acquisition of Crosby Bancshares, Inc. during 2008, we assumed $5.2 million in junior subordinated debentures underlying common securities and trust preferred securities. The subordinated debt securities have a due date of December 15, 2035 and interest is payable quarterly. The interest rate of the debt is equal to the LIBOR, plus 1.44%, reset quarterly, which was 3.56% at March 31, 2018 and 3.03% at December 31, 2017. The Company has the right to redeem these debt securities in whole, or from time to time in part, provided that all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid.

Capital management consists of providing equity and other instruments that qualify as regulatory capital to support current and future operations. Banking regulators view capital levels as important indicators of an institution’s financial soundness. As a general matter, FDIC insured depository institutions and their holding companies are required to maintain minimum capital relative to the amount and types of assets they hold. WeThe Company and the Bank are both subject to regulatory capital ~~requirements at the bank holding company and bank levels.~~

requirements. At March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements at the bank holding company and bank levels, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. The OCC or the FDIC may require the Bank to maintain capital ratios above the required minimums and the Federal Reserve may require the Company to maintain capital ratios above the required minimums.

As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control our growth to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

As a financial institution, ~~our~~the Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. ~~Our~~The Company’s asset, liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds ~~management and we have established a~~management. A measurement system for monitoring ~~our~~ net interest rate sensitivity ~~position. We have~~position has been established and the Company has historically managed ~~our~~its sensitivity position within ~~our~~its established guidelines.

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of ~~our~~the Company’s assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, other than those which have a 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 decrease in current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

~~We manage our~~The Company manages exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. ~~We do~~The Company does not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options, financial future contracts or forward delivery contracts to reduce interest rate risk. Based upon the nature of our operations, ~~we are~~the Company is not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price ~~risk. We do~~risk and does not own any trading assets.

~~Our~~The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Funds Management Committee of the Bank, in accordance with policies approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities and an interest rate shock simulation model.

~~We use~~The Company uses interest rate risk simulation models and shock analyses to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and re‑pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model, as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Average life of non‑maturity deposit accounts are based on standard regulatory decay assumptions and are incorporated into the model. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.

On a quarterly basis, ~~we run~~ two simulation models are run, including a static balance sheet and dynamic growth balance sheet. These models test the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static and dynamic growth models, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rate changes over a 12‑month horizon based upon parallel and non‑parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Non‑parallel simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. ~~Our~~The Company’s internal policy regarding internal rate risk simulations currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net income at risk for the subsequent one‑year period should not decline by more than 10% for a 100 basis-point shift, 20% for a 200‑basis point shift and 30% for a 300‑basis point shift.

This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.

Impact of Inflation

~~Our~~The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession.

Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of ~~our~~the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, other operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

~~Our~~The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, wethe Company also evaluate ~~our~~its performance based on certain additional non‑GAAP financial measures. ~~We classify a~~A financial measure ~~as being~~is considered to be a non‑GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S. in ~~our~~the Company’s statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non‑GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non‑GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way we calculate the non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

~~We calculate~~The Company calculates tangible equity as total shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization and tangible book value per share as tangible equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share. ~~We calculate~~The Company calculates tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible equity to tangible assets is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. ~~We believe~~The Company believes that tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets are measures that are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in book value per share and total shareholders’ equity to total assets, exclusive of change in intangible assets.

On a quarterly basis, the risk inherent in the loan portfolio based on qualitative and quantitative trends in the portfolio is assessed, including the internal risk classification of loans, historical loss rates, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, industry or borrower concentrations, delinquency trends, detailed reviews of significant loans with identified weaknesses and the impacts of local, regional and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based upon models that primarily use observable market‑based parameters as inputs. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in ~~interest rate risk, prepayment risk~~the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or ~~other similar economic factors.~~in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Other‑than‑temporary Impairment of Debt Securities ~~held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts.~~

~~Interest earned on these assets is included in interest income. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on~~Debt securities are amortized on the level‑yield method, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

~~Management evaluates debt securities~~evaluated for other‑than‑temporary impairment, or OTTI, on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near‑term prospects of the issuer. ~~Management also~~The Company assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that itthe Company will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment

~~Table of Contents~~

is split into two components as follows: (i) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (ii) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the security.

~~Loans Held for Investment~~

Loans held for investment are those that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans are typically secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income using a level yield methodology without anticipating payoffs.

~~Allowance for Loan Losses~~

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable and reasonably estimable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In determining the allowance, the Company estimates losses on individual impaired loans, or groups of loans which are not impaired, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably estimated. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the risk inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio based on qualitative and quantitative trends in the portfolio, including the internal risk classification of loans, historical loss rates, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, industry or borrower concentrations, delinquency trends, detailed reviews of significant loans with identified weaknesses and the impacts of local, regional and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Based on this analysis, the Company records a provision for loan losses to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.

Determining the amount of the allowance is considered a critical accounting estimate, as it requires significant judgment and the use of subjective measurements, including management’s assessment of overall portfolio quality. The Company maintains the allowance at an amount the Company believes is sufficient to provide for estimated losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio at each balance sheet date, and fluctuations in the provision for loan losses may result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s allowance, and therefore the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

~~Transfers of Financial Assets~~

Management accounts for the transfers of financial assets as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control is surrendered when the assets have been isolated, a transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and there is no agreement to repurchase the assets before their maturity. The Company’s loan participations sold subject to this guidance which met the conditions to be treated as a sale were recorded as such. Any securities sold under agreements to repurchase that did not meet the criteria are included in securities available for sale and repurchase agreements in the consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

~~The~~Goodwill, which is excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, ~~or goodwill,~~ is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if ~~an event~~events or ~~circumstance indicates~~circumstances indicate that it is likely an impairment has occurred. ~~The Company first assesses qualitative~~Qualitative factors are assessed to determine ~~whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that~~if it is ~~more~~ likely ~~than not~~ that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If ~~after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines~~ it is ~~not more~~determined that it is likely ~~than not~~ that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, ~~then performing a two‑step impairment test is unnecessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two‑step impairment test by calculating~~ the fair value of the reporting unit ~~and comparing the fair value~~is compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The fair value of net assets is estimated based on an analysis of ~~the Company’s~~ market value.

~~Table~~ Impairment exists if the fair value of ~~Contents~~

the reporting unit at the date of the test is less than the goodwill recorded. If goodwill is impaired, a loss would then be recognized in the consolidated financial statements to the extent of the impairment.

Determining the fair value of goodwill is considered a critical accounting estimate because the allocation of the fair value of goodwill to assets and liabilities requires significant management judgment and the use of subjective measurements. Variability in the market and changes in assumptions or subjective measurements used to allocate fair value are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company’s other intangible assets include core deposits, loan servicing assets and customer relationship intangibles, which can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Emerging Growth Company

The Jump Start Our Business Start-ups, or JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. ~~However, we have~~The Company decided not to take advantage of this provision and ~~we will comply~~is complying with new or revised accounting standards to the same extent that compliance is required for non‑emerging growth companies. ~~Our~~The decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company manages market risk, which, as a financial institution is primarily interest rate volatility, through the Asset-Liability Committee of the Bank, in accordance with policies approved by its board of directors. The Company uses an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk” herein for a discussion of how we manage market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures — As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting —There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
