EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2018 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," (ii) “Exhibits,” and we have also updated the signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, and our financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101. No other sections were affected, but for the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety, as amended, our Original Form 10-Q. This report on Form 10-Q/A is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described below.

We have determined that our previously reported Subsequent Event for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 erroneously stated the reduction of energy loans as a percentage of total loans from 14.5% to 1.38%, and should have stated a reduction of energy loans as a percentage of total loans from 14.5% to 13.8%. We have made necessary changes in Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," Subsequent Events for the correction of this error.

NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance was further modified in July 2018 by ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases(Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. These updates require a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. For public entities, these updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with the option to transition with a modified retrospective application to prior periods presented or to apply the guidance as of the adoption date without restating prior periods. The resultsCompany adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 without restating prior periods, and recorded a $8.7 million right of use asset and corresponding lease liability as a result of including leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The adopted guidance did not have an effect on Company's consolidated statement of operations or statement of shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance was further modified in November 2018 by ASU No. 2018–19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit impaired loans will receive an allowance account at the acquisition date that represents a component of the purchase price allocation. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. Application of this update will primarily be on a modified retrospective approach, although the guidance for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized before the effective date and for loans previously covered by ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality will be applied on a prospective basis. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company expects that the allowance for credit losses will be higher given the change to estimated losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicativeestimated life of the results to be expected forfinancial asset, however management is still in the entire year.
Useprocess of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectdetermining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the datepotential magnitude of the consolidated financial statementsincrease. Management has formed a steering committee and has completed a gap assessment that became the reported amounts of revenuesbasis for a full project plan. In addition, management has selected a vendor model and expenses duringbegun the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — The accounting and reporting policiesimplementation phase of the project plan. The Company conform with GAAPis implementing a new software program to ensure it is prepared for implementation by the effective date. At the FASB's July 17, 2019, public meeting, the FASB tentatively decided to delay the effective dates for Small Reporting Companies as defined by the Securities and general practices withinExchange Commission. This decision is subject to public comment and a final determination. As such, the banking industry.  There have been no material changes or developments in the application of accounting principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologiesCompany expects that we believeit could be eligible to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.delay implementation until January 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In MayJune 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-06, Codification Improvements to Topic 942, Financial Services - DepositoryNo. 2018-08, Not for Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and Lending. ASU 2018-06 removes outdatedthe Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. This update clarifies the guidance related to Circular 202 because thatabout whether a transfer of assets (or the reduction, settlement or cancellation of liabilities) is a contribution or an exchange transaction. In addition, the guidance has been rescinded byclarifies the Officedetermination of the Comptroller of the Currency. The amendments inwhether a transaction is conditional. For public entities, this update areis effective upon issuance. The adoption of this ASU did not
have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued to clarify certain aspects of the guidance on recognizing and measuring financial assets and liabilitiesfor contributions made in ASU 2016-01:
Clarification regarding the ability to discontinue application of the measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value
Clarification of the measurement date for fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of equity securities without a readily determinable fair value for which the measurement alternative is elected
Clarification of the unit of account for fair value adjustments to forward contracts and purchased options on equity securities without a readily determinable fair value for which the measurement alternative is expected to be elected
Presentation requirements for certain hybrid financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected
Measurement of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency for which the fair value option is elected
Transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value
The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after JuneDecember 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017 and June 15, 2018 areThe Company does not required to adoptexpect the amendments until interim periods beginning after June 15, 2018. Adoption of this Update is not expectednew guidance to have a material effectimpact on the Company'sconsolidated financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards statements.ASU 2016-01, Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was issued in January 2016 to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This standard impacts how the Company measures certain equity investments and discloses and presents certain financial instruments through the application of the “exit price” notion. The Company adopted the amendments beginning January 1, 2018. Under the new guidance, equity investments can no longer be classified as trading or available for sale (AFS), and related unrealized holding gains and losses can no longer be recognized in OCI. Per the ASU, such equity investments should be measured at fair value, with adjustments recognized in earnings at the end of each reporting period. As such, the Company reclassified its portfolio of equity investments (approximately $2.0 million at March 31, 2018) previously classified as AFS investment securities to “other investments.” As these equity investments were previously measured at fair value, implementation of the ASU did not impact the Company’s valuation method. In accordance with the ASU, the cumulative-effect adjustment from AOCI to retained earnings for previously recorded fair value adjustments related to these equity investments at adoption was immaterial. The

Company elected the practical expedient measurement alternative to prospectively account for other equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are immaterial overall and are classified within “other investments” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2014,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,ASU 2014-09 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Revenue from Contracts with CustomersChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which created a new principle-based framework. The update removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, modifies certain requirements of disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. For public entities, this guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019 and, depending on the provision, requires either prospective or retrospective application to determine when and how an entity recognizes revenue from its customer contracts. FASB has established a core principle for recognizing revenue withinprior periods presented. The Company does not expect the new rules, which states that revenue should only be recorded when services are provided or goods are transferredguidance to customers athave a material impact on the agreed price. The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC Topic 606, including revenue generated fromconsolidated financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. Description of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, which are presented in our income statements as components of non-interest income are as follows:statements.

Service charges on deposits - We collect service charges on most of our non-maturity deposits accounts on a monthly basis. Our fee earned is collected monthly when a particular cycle for a non-maturity deposit account closes. Each cycle is monthlyIn October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and the fee earned is for our service for the month just closed. Our performance obligations are to process transactions, pay interest (on interest-bearing accounts), collect deposits, and allow access to on-line banking applications and other services ancillary to a banking relationship. Each month when our fee is charged, our obligation is complete. The contract-relationship is a month to month obligation - i.e. our obligation to perform these services would end if the customer closes their deposit account with MidSouth.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had 38 securities in an unrealized loss position. Management evaluates each quarter whether unrealized losses on securities represent impairment that is other than temporary.temporary on a quarterly basis. For debt securities, the Company considers its intent to sell or hold the securities orand if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities.  If such impairment is identified, based upon the intent to sell or the more likely than not threshold, the carrying amount of the security is reduced to fair value with a charge to earnings. Upon the result of the aforementioned review, management then reviews for potential other than temporary impairment based upon other qualitative factors.  In making this evaluation, management considers changes in market rates relative to those available when the security was acquired, changes in market expectations about the timing of cash flows from securities that can be prepaid, performance of the debt security, and changes in the market’s perception of the issuer’s financial health and the security’s credit quality. If determined that a debt security has incurred other than temporary impairment, then the amount of the credit related impairment is determined.  For equity securities, management reviews the near term prospects of the issuer, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and duration of the impairments and other factors when determining if an unrealized loss is other than temporary. If a credit loss is evident, the amount of the credit loss is charged to earnings and the non-credit related impairment is recognized through other comprehensive income.
As of At June 30, 2018, 103 securities had unrealized losses totaling 3.22%2019, there was no intent to sell any of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 2.71% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis.  Of the 103 securities 45 had been in an unrealized loss position, for over twelve months at June 30, 2018.  These 45 securities had anand it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell these securities. Furthermore, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected exceeded the Company's amortized cost basis of the investment securities; therefore, these securities are not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2019 and unrealized loss of $162.22018 were $56.3 million and $7.4 million,$410,000, respectively. The unrealized lossesNet gains on debtsales of available-fo-sale securities atfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted from changing market interest rates over2019 were $202,000 and $575,000 , respectively. There were no gains or losses recognized on the yields available atsales of available-for-sale securities for the time the underlying securities were purchased.  Management identified no impairment related to credit quality.  At June 30, 2018, management had the intentthree and ability to hold impaired securities and no impairment was evaluated as other than temporary.  As a result, no other than temporary impairment losses were recognized during the threesix months ended June 30, 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold 1 security classified as available-for-sale for $410,000 which resulted in neither a gain nor a loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 10 securities classified as available-for-sale and 1 security classified as held-to-maturity. Of the available-for-sale securities, 7 securities were sold with gains totaling $111,000 and 3 securities were sold at a loss of $109,000 for a net gain of $2,000. The decision to sell the 1 held-to-maturity security, which was sold

The composition of investment securities reflects the strategy of management to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The securities portfolio may at a gain of $7,000, was based on the pre-refundingtimes be used to mitigate interest rate risk associated with other areas of the bond which would acceleratebalance sheet while also providing a means for the maturityinvestment of the bond by 15 years with an anticipated call date within six months.

The Company monitors loan concentrations and evaluates individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity for each major standard industry classification segment.  At June 30, 2018,2019, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, constituted more than 10% of the loan portfolio.  The Company’s exposure in the oil and gas industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $153.6$113.0 million, or 14.5% of total loans.  Additionally, the Company’s exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate is monitored.  At June 30, 2018, loans secured by commercial real estate (including commercial construction, farmland and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $481.0 million, or 45.5%12.8% of total loans, of which 52% are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Of the $481.0with $3.0 million in loans secured by commercial real estate, $31.4 million, or 6.5%, were on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2018.oil and gas loans. 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account available to absorb probable losses on loans. All losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss is likely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses at the time of recovery.  Quarterly, the probable level of losses in the existing portfolio is estimated through consideration of various quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, some of the factors considered in determining provisions include estimated losses relative to specific credits; known deterioration in concentrations of credit; historical loss experience; trends in nonperforming assets; volume, maturity and composition of the loan portfolio; off–balance sheet credit risk; lending policies and control systems; national and local economic conditions; the experience, ability and depth of lending management; and the results of examinations of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and others. Based on these estimates, the allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge‑offs (net of recoveries).

The allowance is composed of general reserves and specific reserves.  General reserves are determined by applying loss percentages to segments of the portfolio.  The loss percentages are based on each segment’s historical loss experience, generally over the past three to five years, and adjustment factors derived from conditions in the Company’s internal and external environment.  All loans considered to be impaired are evaluated on an individual basis to determine specific reserve allocations in accordance with GAAP.  Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the calculation of general reserves.
 
Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value, which includes an estimate of credit losses expected to be realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and therefore no corresponding allowance for loan losses is recorded for these loans at acquisition. Methods utilized to estimate any subsequently required allowance for loan losses for acquired loans not deemed credit-impaired at acquisition are similar to originated loans; however, the estimate of loss is based on the unpaid principal balance and then compared to any remaining unaccreted purchase discount. The current analysis indicates no additional allowance is necessary on our acquired loan portfolio as of June 30, 2018. To the extent that the calculated loss is greater than the remaining unaccreted purchase discount, an allowance is recorded for such difference.
The Company has an internal loan review department that is independent of the lending function to challenge and corroborate the loan grade assigned by the lender and to provide additional analysis in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the Company utilizes the services of a third party to supplement its loan review efforts.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans
 
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual.  For loans placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and subsequent payments received are applied to the principal balance.  Interest income is recorded after principal has been satisfied and as payments are received.  Non-accrual loans may be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest amounts contractually owed are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and there is a period of at least six months to one year of repayment performance by the borrower depending on the contractual payment terms.

The amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans, had the loans not been classified as non-accrual, totaled approximately $3.4 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Interest received on non-accrual loans subsequent to their transfer to non-accrual status totaled $176,000 and $195,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Impaired Loans
 
Loans are considered impaired when, based upon current information, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, based on credit risk rating factors, are reviewed to determine whether impairment testing is appropriate.  All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance above a specified threshold are evaluated for potential impairment. All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance below the specified threshold are assigned an allowance allocation percentage that is determined by management and adjusted periodically based on certain factors. An allowance for each impaired loan is calculated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  All impaired loans are reviewed, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis.  Existing valuations are reviewed to determine if additional discounts or new appraisals are required.  After this review, when comparing the resulting collateral valuation to the outstanding loan balance, if the discounted collateral value exceeds the loan balance, no specific allocation is reserved. 

The following table presents loans that are individually evaluated for impairment (in thousands). Interest income recognized represents interest on accruing loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR).

Credit Quality
The Company manages credit risk by observing written underwriting standards and the lending policy established by the Board of Directors and management to govern all lending activities.  The risk management program requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by a loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the AuditCredit Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to serve their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, current economic trends, and other factors. Loans are analyzed individually and classified according to their credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Weakness exists that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, and questionable management capabilities. Collateral values generally afford adequate coverage but may not be immediately marketable.

Substandard: Specific and well-defined weaknesses exist that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial ratios. Currently the borrower maintains the capacity to service the debt. The loan may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.


Doubtful: Specific weaknesses characterized as Substandard exist that are severe enough to make collection in full unlikely. There is no reliable secondary source of full repayment. Loans classified as Doubtful will usually be placed on non-accrual status. The probability of some loss is extremely high but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.

During the three month periods ending June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no defaults on any loans that were modified as TDRs during the preceding twelve months. During the six months ended ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no defaults on any loansTDRs that had a payment default during the twelve-month periods and that were modified as TDRs duringwithin the preceding twelve months. During the sixprevious 12 months ended June 30, 2017, there was one loan relationship with a pre-modification balance of $2.0 million identified as a TDR after a reduction in payments. There were no defaults on any loans that were modified as TDRs during the preceding twelve months.$713,000 and $0, respectively. The Company defines a payment default as any loan that is greater than 30 days past due or was past due greater than 30 days at any point during the reporting period, or since the date of modification, whichever is shorter.

For purposes of
A troubled debt restructuring by definition is an impaired loan, as such all TDRs that meet the determination of an allowance for loan losses on these TDRs, as an identified TDR, the Company considers a loss probable on the loan and, as a result isdollar threshold are reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology.  If it is determined losses are probable on such TDRs,an impairment exists, either because of a delinquency or other credit quality indicator,related issues, a specific reserve is recorded for the Company establishesloan. There are no specific reserves for these loans.As of June 30, 2018, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing sums to the Company whose terms have been modified in TDRs.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company entered into two forwarduses interest rate swap contracts on a reverse repurchase agreement and long-term FHLB advances. Theswaps as part of its interest rate swap contracts were designated as derivative instruments in a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging to convert forecasted variable interest payment to a fixed rate and the Company has concluded that the forecasted transactions are probable of occurring. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss related to the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.

No ineffectiveness related to the interestrisk management strategy. Interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, was recognizedinvolve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in the consolidated statements of incomeexchange for the Company making fixed payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount totaling $12.5 million and $15.0 million were entered into on July 6, 2016 and were designated as cash flow hedges of certain repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. The swaps mature in August 2021 and December 2021, respectively. The swaps operate under a pay fixed of .993% and 1.043%, respectively, and receive variable each at LIBOR flat. The swaps were determined to be fully effective during the periods presented and therefore no ineffectiveness has been included in net loss. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets/other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings if the hedge transactions become probable of not occurring. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the swap recorded in other assets totaled $381,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Interest expense recorded on the swap transaction totaled $2,000 and $4,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The accumulated net after-tax income related to2019, respectively and is reported as a component of interest expense.

NOTE 6: LEASES

As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842) on a prospective basis using the effective cash flow hedge includeddate method. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on MidSouth's financial statements; however, additional disclosures have been added in accumulated other comprehensive income is reflected in accordance with the ASU. See Note 6 - Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income2 for additional information on this new accounting standard..

We have operating leases for branches and corporate offices. Our leases have remaining lease terms from 1 to 40 years, some of which have options to extend the leases up to 5 years, and some which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight -line basis over the lease term. We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  Securities available-for-sale and derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, loans held-for-sale, other real estate and assets held-for-sale.  Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.
8.
Fair Value Measurement
Hierarchy
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
 
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value.

Cash and Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks and Federal Funds Soldcash equivalents—The carrying value of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate ofcash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and time deposits in other banks approximate fair value.

Debt Securities Available-for-Sale—Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available.  If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.  Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter market and money market funds. 

Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities and are valued based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets, quoted market prices that are not in an active market, or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the securities. Securities are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy when the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may3 include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 inputs are used to value U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities municipal securities, single issue trust preferred securities, certain pooled trust preferred securities, collateralized debt obligationsin less liquid markets. Securities classified as Level 3 are valued based on estimates obtained from broker-dealers and certain equity securities that are not actively traded.

The fair value of impaired loans is taken related to illiquidity discounts.  However, from time to time, aestimated based on discounted contractual cash flows or underlying collateral values, where applicable. A loan is considereddetermined to be impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established.  Loans for whichif the Company believes it is probable that paymentall principal and interest amounts due according to the terms of interest and principalthe note will not be madecollected as scheduled. The fair value of impaired loans is determined in accordance with ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and generally results in a specific reserve established through a charge to the contractual termsprovision for loan losses. Losses on impaired loans are charged to the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the loan agreement are considered impaired.  Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management uses oneconfirmed. Management has determined that the majority of three methods to measure impairment, which, include collateral value, market value of similar debt, and discounted cash flows.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for whichare Level 3 assets due to the fair valueextensive use of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.  Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral or where the loan balance has been charged down to fair value require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.appraisals
For non-performing loans, collateral valuations currently in file are reviewed for acceptability in terms of timeliness and applicability.  Although each determination is made based on the facts and circumstances of each credit, generally valuations are no longer considered acceptable when there has been physical deterioration of the property from when it was last appraised, or there has been a significant change in the underlying assumptions of the appraisal.  If the valuation is deemed to be unacceptable, a new appraisal is ordered.  New appraisals are typically received within 4-6 weeks.  While awaiting new appraisals, the valuation in the file is utilized, net of discounts.  Discounts are derived from available relevant market data, selling costs, taxes, and insurance.  Any perceived collateral deficiency utilizing the discounted value is specifically reserved (as required by ASC Topic 310) until the new appraisal is received or charged off.  Thus, provisions or charge-offs are recognized in the period the credit is identified as non-performing.

The following sources are utilized to set appropriate discounts: in-market real estate agents, current local sales data, bank history for devaluation of similar property, Sheriff’s valuations and buy/sell contracts.  If a real estate agent is used to market and sell the property, values are discounted 10% for selling costs.  Additional discounts may be applied if research from the above sources indicates a discount is appropriate given devaluation of similar property from the time of the initial valuation.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies—Fair value for life insurance cash surrender value is based on cash surrender values indicated by the insurance companies.

Other Real Estate—Other real estate (“ORE”) properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate. Subsequently,estate, and annually thereafter to insure other real estate propertiesassets are carried at the net realizable value. Exceptions to obtaining initial appraisals are properties where a buy/sell agreement exists for the loanlower of carrying value or greater, or where a Sheriff’s valuation has been received for properties liquidated through a Sheriff sale.fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the OREother real estate as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market prices, the Company records the OREother real estate asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets Held For Sale—Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon appraised values.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The fair value of derivatives are determined by an independent valuation firm and are estimated using prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics. As a result, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market deposits is the carrying amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include customer related intangibles.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase—The fair value approximates the carrying value of securities sold underrepurchase agreements to repurchase due to their short-term nature.

Short-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances —The fair value approximates the carrying value of short-term FHLB advances due to their short-term nature.
Long-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—The fair value approximates carrying amount because of long-term FHLB advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar typesthe short maturity of borrowings with similar terms.these instruments.

The Company records impaired loans at fair value, measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs and other collateral-based discounts. Other real estate properties are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs, information from comparable sales and marketability of the property. Assets held for sale are considered level 2 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties.

The inputs used to determine estimated fair value of impaired loans include market conditions, loan terms, underlying collateral characteristics and discount rates. The inputs used to determine fair value of OREO include market conditions, estimated marketing period or holding period, underlying collateral characteristics and discount rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, there was not a change in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for assets carried at fair value.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.


The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017 (in2018 (dollars in thousands):

9. Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2018, the Bank received an $8.5 million payoff of a significant non-accruing classified energy relationship.  Assuming this payoff had occurred on June 30, 2018, pro forma Classified Assets to Bank Capital would have been reduced to 47.9% from 52.9% and energy loans as a percentage of total loans would have decreased from 14.5% to 13.8%.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Certain critical accounting policies affect the moreThere have been no significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the noteschanges to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The accounting principles we follow and the methods of applying these principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general banking practices.  Our most critical accounting policy relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments.  The determination of the adequacy of the allowance involves significant judgment and complexity and is based on many factors.  If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the estimates would be updated and additional provisions for loan losses may be required.  See Asset Quality – Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 1 and Note 3 of the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
Another of our critical accounting policies relatesfrom those disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The reader should refer to the valuationnotes to our consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full disclosure of goodwill, intangible assetsall critical accounting policies.

Under this method, we are required to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value, including intangible assets.  Determination of fair value involves estimates based on internal valuations of discounted cash flow analyses performed, third party valuations, or other valuation techniques that involve subjective assumptions.  Additionally, the termterms of the useful lives and appropriate amortization periods of intangible assets is subjective.  Resulting goodwill from an acquisition under the purchase method of accounting represents the excessMerger Agreement, each share of the purchase price overCompany’s common stock will convert to the fairright to receive 0.2952 shares of Hancock Whitney common stock, $3.33 par value per share, plus cash in lieu of net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if deemed necessary.  Iffractional shares. Immediately following the fair value of an asset exceeds the carrying amountcompletion of the asset, no charge to goodwillmerger, the Bank will merge with and into Hancock Whitney’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Hancock Whitney Bank, with Hancock Whitney Bank continuing as the surviving bank.
The Merger is made.  If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset, goodwill will be adjusted through a charge to earnings.  Given the instability of the economic environment, it is reasonably possible that the methodology of the assessment of potential loan losses and goodwill impairment could change in the near-term or could result in impairment going forward.
A third critical accounting policy relates to deferred tax assets and liabilities.  We record deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, are recognizedsubject to the extent that realizationsatisfaction of such benefitscustomary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by the Company’s shareholders. For more information on the pending Merger, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2019. The Merger Agreement was included as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2019 and is more likely than not.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.  In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicatedincorporated by such assets is required.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or the full amount of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.  A deferred tax liability is not recognized for portions of the allowance for loan losses for income tax purposes in excess of the financial statement balance.  Such a deferred tax liability will only be recognized when it becomes apparent that those temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% more likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.reference herein.

Net Interest Income
 

Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly affect net interest income.  Our net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.98%4.00% and 4.18%3.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Total deposits at June 30, 2018 totaled $153.6 million, or 14.5% of total loans, down from $172.8 million2019 remained stable at March 31, 2018.  The majority of MidSouth’s energy lending is focused on oil field service companies.  Of the 286 total relationships in our energy-related loan portfolio, 32 relationships totaling $51.3 million were classified,$1.4 billion with $40.4 million on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, reserves for potential energy-related loan losses approximated 5.6% of energy loans.
Within the $414.5 million commercial real estate portfolio, $389.6 million is secured by commercial property, $19.3 million is secured by multi-family property, and $5.6 million is secured by farmland.  Of the $389.6 million secured by commercial property, $251.2 million, or 64.5%, is owner-occupied.  Of the $141.1 million residential real estate portfolio, 77.3% represented loans secured by first liens.

Assets held for sale totaled $4.0 million at June 30, 2018 andonly a slight decrease when compared to December 31, 2017 and consisted of seven former branch buildings that were previously closed.

Deposits increased $43.3 million from year-end 2017.2018. Our stable core deposit base, which excludes time deposits, totaled $1.3$1.2 billion or 87.8% and 87.6% of total deposits at June 30, 20182019 and MarchDecember 31, 2018, and accounted for 88.5% of deposits compared to 88.3% of deposits, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements.  These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.  Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.  For the period ended June 30, 2018,2019, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 




Liquidity and Capital
 

Bank Liquidity
 
Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet maturing contractual obligations and to fund operations.  The Bank’s primary liquidity needs involve its ability to accommodate customers’ demands for deposit withdrawals as well as customers’ requests for credit. Liquidity is deemed adequate when sufficient cash to meet these needs can be promptly raised at a reasonable cost to the Bank.

Liquidity is available through four sources: a stable base of funding sources, an adequate level of assets that can be readily converted into cash, borrowing lines with correspondent banks and brokered deposits. Our core deposits are our most stable and important source of funding.  Cash deposits at other banks, federal funds sold, and principal payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities provide additional primary sources of liquidity.  Approximately $33.7$57.9 million in projected cash flowsflow from securities repayments for the remainder of 20182019 provides an additional source of liquidity.
 
The Bank also has significant borrowing capacity with the FRB-Atlanta and with the FHLB–Dallas.  As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had no borrowings with the FRB-Atlanta.  Long-term FHLB-Dallas advances totaled $10.0 million at June 30, 2018 and consisted of one advance that matures in January 2019 and bears a fixed interest rate of 1.985%.  Short-term FHLB advances totaled $27.5 million at June 30, 20182019 and consisted of two advances with a maturity of 1 month at a fixed interest rate of 1.88%.on existing swap contracts. Under existing agreements with the FHLB-Dallas, our borrowing capacity totaled $291.6$292.5 million at June 30, 2018.2019.  The Bank has the ability to post additional collateral of approximately $148.1$356.9 million if necessary to meet liquidity needs.  Additionally, $143.2$130.7 million in loan collateral is pledged under a Borrower-in-Custody line with the FRB-Atlanta. Unsecured borrowing lines totaling $33.5$20.0 million are available through correspondent banks.  We utilize these contingency funding alternatives to meet deposit volatility, which is more likely in the current environment, given unusual competitive offerings within our markets.

The Company holds minor investments in certain limited partnerships. As of June 30, 2019, the Bank had a recorded investment of $5.7 million in these limited partnerships and had committed to fund an additional $6.8 million related to future capital calls that has not been reflected in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Company Liquidity
 
At the Company level, cash is needed primarily to meet interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, dividends on our common stock and dividend payments on the Series B and Series C Preferred Stocks.  The dividend rate on the $32.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury for participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) was 9.0% for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
On December 28, 2012, the Company issued 756,511 shares of common stock and 99,971 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the PSB acquisition.  As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2019, there were 89,87589,721 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.  The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the payment of noncumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 4.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year.  The Series C Preferred Stock paid dividends totaling $90,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
On June 13, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 4,583,334 shares of its common stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering, and on July 11, 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 516,700 shares of common stock, pursuant to the partial exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriter. After deducting the underwriting discount and costs associated with the capital raise, the offering resulted in net proceeds of $57.2 million. The Company, subject to regulatory approval, intends to use $32.0 million of the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as a result of its participation in the SBLF. The Company intends to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds to enhance its capital structure, to fund future organic growth, for working capital, and other general corporate purposes.

Due to the loss reported for yearquarter ended December 31, 2017,June 30, 2019, we currently do not have the ability to approve dividends from the Bank to the Company without prior approval from the OCC.  As of June 30, 2018,2019, the Company had $47.8$40.8 million of cash to fund general corporate obligations. The Company renewed a $75.0 million Universal Shelf Registration during the third quarter of 2015 and has $13.8 million remaining after completion of its recent capital raise and overallotment issuance.

Capital
 
The Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain minimum capital levels.  Risk-based capital requirements are intended to make regulatory capital more sensitive to the risk profile of an institution's assets.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank adopted the Basel III rules which included new minimum risk-based and leverage ratios, and modified capital and asset definitions for purposes of calculating these ratios.  These rules also created a new regulatory capital standard based on Tier 1 common equity and increased the minimum leverage and risk-based capital ratios applicable to all banking organizations.
 
In addition, the Basel III rules subject banking organizations to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer phased in by 2019 of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital ratios.  The effect of the capital conservation buffer once fully implemented inon January 1, 2019 will bewas to increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total risk-based capital

ratio to 10.5% for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The new minimum capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015 for community banking organizations, such as MidSouth, whereas other requirements of the Basel III rules including the conservation buffer phasephased in over time.as of January 2019.

At June 30, 2018,2019, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with statutory minimum capital requirements and were classified as “well capitalized.”  Minimum capital requirements include a total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets) of 8.0%, with Tier 1 capital not less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 to total average adjusted assets) of 4.0% based upon the regulators latest composite rating of the institution, and a common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. However, effective July 19, 2017, the OCC established higher individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank. Specifically, the Bank must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.10%9.08% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.61% at June 30, 2018.2019. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.71%11.53%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 18.07%18.23%, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 19.33%19.50% and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.20%12.37%
 

Asset Quality
 
Credit Risk Management
 
We manage credit risk primarily by observingfollowing written, boardBoard approved policies and procedures that govern all credit underwriting and approvalrelated activities.  Our Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”) is responsible for all credit risk management including credit policy and procedure development, underwriting as well asoversight, loan approval, portfolio management which includes the management of classified and criticized assets for the Bank. The role of the CCO includes on-going review and development of lending policies, commercial credit analysis, centralized consumer underwriting, and overall credit risk management procedures.  The currentactivities are performed through Relationship Managers, Underwriting Analysts, Special Assets and Portfolio Management groups. We have implemented ongoing portfolio management activities that include specific reviews of the largest credit relationships, past due monitoring, risk rating review and certification, annual credit reviews and loan exception tracking. In addition to the credit risk management process requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These effortsfunction are supplemented by independent reviews performed by thea third party loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.review.

Credit concentrations are monitored and reported quarterly whereby individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity are evaluated for each major standard industry classification segment.  At June 30, 2018,2019, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, aggregated more than 10% of our loan portfolio.  Our exposure in the oil and gas (energy-related) industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $153.6$113.0 million, or 14.5%12.8% of total loans with $3.0 million in nonaccrual oil and gas loans. Of the 286 credit relationships in the energy-related loan portfolio, 32 relationships totaling $51.3 million were classified with $40.4 million on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2018.
 
The federal banking agencies, including the OCC, have promulgated guidance governing financial institutions with concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The guidance provides that a bank has a concentration in commercial real estate lending if (1) total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or more of total capital or (2) total reported loans secured by multifamily and non-farm residential properties and loans for construction, land development and other land represent 300% or more of total capital. Owner occupied loans are excluded from this second category. We monitor our exposure to each of these segments to ensure the concentration in consistent with our risk tolerance.  At June 30, 2018, loans for construction, land development and other land totaled approximately $98.1 million, or 47% of our bank's risk-based capital. Loans secured by multifamily and non-farm residential properties and loans for construction, land development and other land totaled approximately $254.0 million at June 30, 2018, or 123% of our bank's risk-based capital. Additional information regarding credit quality by loan classification is provided in Note 34Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 89 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans was 120.79% at June 30, 2019 compared to 195.40% at December 31, 2018 and 31.97% at June 30, 2018 compared to 53.77% at December 31, 2017 and 44.88% at June 30, 2017.2018.  The ALL/ALLL/total loans ratio was 2.22%3.20% at June 30, 2018,2019, compared to 2.27%1.94% at year-end 2017December 31, 2018 and 1.99% at June 30, 2017.  Including valuation accounting adjustments on acquired loans, the total adjustments and ALL was 2.30% of loans2.22% at June 30, 2018.  The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total loans decreasedwas 0.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 8.45% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and 0.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 2.94% for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.2018.
 
Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed increaseddecreased to 2.69% at June 30, 2019 from 3.39% at December 31, 2018 and 7.07% at June 30, 2018 from 4.83% at December 31, 2017 and 4.54% at June 30, 2017.2018.  Performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $593,000 at June 30, 2019, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2018 and $1.0 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2017 and $1.7 million at June 30, 2017.  Classified assets, including ORE, were $105.8 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $113.7 million at March 31, 2018.  Additional information regarding impaired loans is included in Note 34Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Lossesand Note 89 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Quarterly evaluations of the allowance for loan losses are performed in accordance with GAAP and regulatory guidelines.  The ALLALLL is comprised of specific reserves assigned to each impaired loan for which a probable loss has been identified as well as general reserves to maintain the allowance at an acceptable level for other loans in the portfolio where historical loss experience is available that indicates certain probable losses may exist.  Factors considered in determining provisions include estimated losses in significant credits; known deterioration in concentrations of credit; historical loss experience; trends in nonperforming assets; volume, maturity and composition of the loan portfolio; off-balance sheet credit risk; lending policies and control systems; national and local economic conditions; the experience, ability and depth of lending management; and the results of examinations of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and others.  The processes by which we determine the appropriate level of the ALL,ALLL, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates. We believe the $23.5$28.1 million in the ALLALLL as of June 30, 20182019 is sufficient to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio.
 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Table 7The table below presents a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include, “core net interest income”, “core net interest margin”, "diluted earnings per share, operating" and "operating earnings available to common shareholders". “Core net interest income” is defined as net interest income excluding net purchase accounting adjustments. “Core net interest margin” is defined as core net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earnings assets. "Diluted earnings per share, operating" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items divided by diluted weighted-average shares. "Operating earnings available to common shareholders" is defined as net earnings available to common shareholders adjusted for specified one-time items.
We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they are useful for evaluating our financial condition and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial condition as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that other companies may use.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
The management of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company’s internal control systems are effectivedesigned to ensure that information requiredtransactions are properly authorized and recorded in the financial records and to safeguard assets from material loss or misuse. Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent limitations in any internal control system.
As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over income tax reporting. This material weakness relates to an error in the Company’s tax entries for the fourth quarter of 2018 that included a misstatement of the Company’s valuation allowance and a related tax expense of $3.6 million. This error was identified by the CompanyCompany’s external auditors after the Company’s books were closed but prior to the public release of the Company’s fourth quarter 2018 earnings statement and the related filing with the SEC. With turnover in reports that it submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,Company’s Accounting Department, lack of a repeatable and reportedsustainable process for determining tax expense was revealed. The error was corrected in the Company’s fourth quarter 2018 earnings statement and the related filing with the SEC. Management performed a severity assessment to determine the significance of the control deficiency and concluded this was an isolated Material Weakness in the internal controls over the creation of the tax entries caused mainly by personnel turnover within the time periods specifiedorganization.
During the fourth quarter 2018 review of the Allowance for Loan & Lease Losses (ALLL” process management concluded that while controls were in place, they did not operate effectively with regard to: 1) formal documentation for some of the key management estimates, 2) robust documentation for model updates and methodology changes, and 3) well defined review controls. Management performed a severity assessment to determine the significance of the control deficiencies and concluded that although these issues did not require an audit adjustment, they did aggregate to a level of Material Weakness in the Securitiesinternal controls over the preparation of the ALLL.
The identified material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatement in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Remediation Activities
Management is committed to timely remediating the identified weaknesses with appropriate oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company has commenced efforts to remediate the material weaknesses identified above.
Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2019 we engaged Horne, LLC, a tax advisory firm, as a subject matter expert to assist management with ongoing income tax related matters including, but not limited to, preparation of the quarterly and Exchange Commission rulesannual income tax analyses and forms.the associated period end journal entries. Additional remediation efforts include the development of an ASC 740, Income Taxes, accounting policy, documentation of internal controls and procedures surrounding income tax accounting and in-house training.
In February 2019, the Company engaged GlassRatner, a specialty financial advisory services firm, to review the internal control structure surrounding the ALLL, as well as the ALLL methodology, policies and procedures, and compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and regulatory guidance. The ALLL process was fully analyzed with interviews conducted with key members of Credit and Accounting, including the Chief Credit Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Special Assets, Director of SEC Reporting, and other Special Assets employees. As part of the immediate remediation to improve documentation, a more robust ALLL memo for first quarter of 2019 was prepared for submission to the Credit Risk Committee and control procedures for review of model inputs that included loans, impairments, net charge-offs and qualitative factors had redundant reviews to ensure accuracy and completeness. During the second quarter of 2018, there2019 updated procedures were developed and approved by the Credit Risk Committee. Additional training was no changeimplemented by the Chief Credit Officer

with a newly drafted supplemental procedure guide including job aides for the preparation of the ALLL workbook and its components. Each of these actions improved the overall design of the internal control structure surrounding the ALLL.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019 based on the criteria for effective internal control established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Company’sCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Given the actions outlined above, management believes these efforts have improved the overall internal control structure and the specific internal control design deficiencies surrounding income taxes and the ALLL. Management has not tested the operating effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting surrounding income taxes and the ALLL as of June 30, 2019 and, as such, cannot conclude that hasthe previously reported material weaknesses have been fully remediated. Management will continually assess the effectiveness of the remediation efforts and may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.reporting, other than the material weaknesses described above.

Part II – Other Information
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
 
The Bank has been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising from normal business activities in which damages of various amounts are claimed.  While the amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be currently determined, management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  However, in the event of unexpected future developments in these matters, if the ultimate resolution of any such matter is unfavorable, the result may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.
 
Item 1A.    Risk Factors.
 
We faceBecause the market price of Hancock Whitney common stock will fluctuate, the value of the merger consideration to be received by our shareholders may change.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 30, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), between Hancock Whitney and the Company, upon completion of the merger, each share of Company common stock, except for certain shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.5(c) of the Merger Agreement, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, will cease to be outstanding and will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.2952 shares of Hancock Whitney common stock, par value $3.33 per share. The closing price of Hancock Whitney common stock on the date that the merger is completed may vary from the closing price of Hancock Whitney common stock on the date Hancock Whitney and the Company announced the signing of the Merger Agreement and the date of the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders regarding the merger. Because the merger consideration is determined by a riskfixed conversion ratio, at the time of noncompliancethe Company special meeting, Company shareholders will not know or be able to calculate the value of the shares of Hancock Whitney common stock they will receive upon completion of the merger. Any change in the market price of Hancock Whitney common stock prior to completion of the merger may affect the value of the merger consideration that Company shareholders will receive upon completion of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and enforcement actioneconomic conditions, changes in the companies’ respective businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations, among other things. Many of these factors are beyond the control of Hancock Whitney and the Company. Company shareholders should obtain current market quotations for shares of Hancock Whitney common stock and Company common stock before voting their shares at the Company special meeting.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.
Before the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from bank regulatory authorities. In determining whether to grant these approvals, the applicable regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors, including the competitive impact of the proposal in the relevant geographic markets; financial, managerial and other supervisory considerations of each party; convenience and needs of the communities to be served and the record of the insured depository institution subsidiaries under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and the regulations promulgated thereunder; effectiveness of the parties in combating money laundering activities; any significant outstanding supervisory matters; and the extent to which the proposal would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. These regulatory authorities may impose conditions on the granting of such approvals. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on the combined company following the merger. The regulatory approvals may not be received at all, may not be received in a timely fashion, or may contain conditions on the completion of the merger that are not anticipated or cannot be met. Furthermore, such conditions or changes may constitute a materially burdensome regulatory condition that may allow the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement. If the consummation of the merger does not occur, or is delayed, including by a delay in receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company may be materially and adversely affected.
Failure of the merger to be completed, the termination of the Merger Agreement, or a significant delay in the consummation of the merger could negatively impact the Company.
The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. These conditions to the consummation of the merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the merger may not be completed. In addition, if the merger is not completed on or before April 30, 2020, either Hancock Whitney or the Company may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time after that date if the failure of the merger to occur on or before that date is not caused by any breach of the Merger Agreement by the party electing to terminate the Merger Agreement, before or after shareholder approval.

If the merger is not consummated, the ongoing business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company may be materially adversely affected and the market price of the Company’s common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be consummated. If the consummation of the merger is delayed, the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company may be materially adversely affected.
In addition, the Company has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the Bank Secrecy Actnegotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the merger is not completed, the Company would have to recognize these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger. Any of the foregoing, or other anti-money laundering statutesrisks arising in connection with the failure of or delay in consummating the merger, including the diversion of management attention from pursuing other opportunities and regulations.the constraints in the Merger Agreement on the ability to make significant changes to the Company’s ongoing business during the pendency of the merger, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, the Company’s business may be adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger, and the market price of Company common stock might decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Company’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Company shareholders cannot be certain that the Company will be able to find a party willing to engage in a transaction on equally or more attractive terms than the merger with Hancock Whitney.
The Bank Secrecy Act,Company will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the USA PATRIOT Actmerger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of 2001,the merger on employees, customers (including depositors and borrowers), suppliers and vendors may have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. These uncertainties may impair the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel and customers (including depositors and borrowers) pending the consummation of the merger, as such personnel and customers may experience uncertainty about their future roles and relationships following the consummation of the merger. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause customers (including depositors and borrowers), suppliers, vendors and others who deal with the Company to seek to change existing business relationships with the Company or fail to extend an existing relationship with the Company. In addition, competitors may target the Company’s existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties that may result from the merger.
The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a burden on the Company’s management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts each party from taking certain actions without the other lawsparty’s consent while the merger is pending. These restrictions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and regulations require financial institutions, amongresults of operations.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that may discourage other duties,companies from pursuing, announcing or submitting a business combination proposal to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program (“BSA/AML Program”) and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. Failure or the inability to comply with these laws and regulations couldCompany that might result in finesgreater value to Company shareholders.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from pursuing, announcing or penalties, curtailment of expansion opportunities, enforcement actions, intervention or sanctions by regulators and costly litigation or expensive additional controls and systems. We have developed policies and continuesubmitting a business combination proposal to augment procedures and systems designed to remediate and strengthen our BSA/AML Program. Our remediation measures willthe Company that might result in increased expensegreater value to Company shareholders than the Bank andmerger with Hancock Whitney. These provisions include a general prohibition on the issues giving riseCompany from soliciting, or, subject to those measures could result in other consequences that could adversely affect us such as those outlined above.certain exceptions, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any acquisition proposal or offers for competing transactions. Furthermore, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Hancock Whitney a termination fee equal to $8,000,000.
