Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Emclaire Financial Corp (the Corporation) is a Pennsylvania corporation and the holding company of The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton (the Bank) and Emclaire Settlement Services, LLC (the Title Company). The Corporation provides a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgages, commercial business loans and consumer loans.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and the Title Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Corporation’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, as contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim quarterly or year-to-date periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other period. Certain amounts previously reported may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares for assumed issuance of restricted stock.

The factors used in the Corporation’s earnings per common share computation follow:

Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Corporation intends to sell an impaired security, or if it is more likely than not the Corporation will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation records an other-than-temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost. Otherwise, only the credit portion of the estimated loss on debt securities is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income.

There were 52 debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2019, 35 of which were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Of these 35 securities, 23 were collateralized mortgage obligations (issued by U.S. government sponsored entities), five were U.S. government sponsored entities and agency securities, four were mortgage-backed securities, two were U.S. Treasury securities and one was a corporate security. The unrealized losses associated with these securities were not due to the deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer that would likely result in the non-collection of contractual principal and interest, but rather have been caused by a rise in interest rates from the time the securities were purchased. Based on that evaluation and other general considerations, and given that the Corporation’s current intention is not to sell any impaired securities and it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Corporation does not consider these debt securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2019 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

4.	Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

The Corporation’s loans receivable as of the respective dates are summarized as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Mortgage loans on real estate:
Residential first mortgages	$	287,437	$	295,405
Home equity loans and lines of credit		98,628		103,752
Commercial real estate		227,569		238,734
Total real estate loans		613,634		637,891
Other loans:
Commercial business		69,834		66,009
Consumer		11,398		11,272
Total other loans		81,232		77,281
Total loans, gross		694,866		715,172
Less allowance for loan losses		6,509		6,508
Total loans, net	$	688,357	$	708,664

Included in total loans above are net deferred costs of $2.3 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

An allowance for loan losses (ALL) is maintained to absorb probable incurred losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience and the amount of nonperforming loans.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and actual losses may vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

At September 30, 2019, there was no allowance for loan losses allocated to loans acquired from United American Savings Bank (2016), Northern Hancock Bank and Trust Co. (2017) or Community First Bancorp, Inc (2018).

Troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The Corporation has certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to the customer’s financial difficulties, management grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan that it would not have otherwise considered, the modified loan is classified as a TDR. Concessions related to TDRs generally do not include forgiveness of principal balances. The Corporation generally does not extend additional credit to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation had $433,000 and $394,000, respectively, of loans classified as TDRs, which are included in impaired loans above. The Corporation had allocated $4,000 and $12,000 of specific allowance for these loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation did not modify any loans as TDRs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation modified the interest rate and extended the payment amortization on one commercial real estate loan with a recorded investment of $72,000. At September 30, 2019, the Corporation did not have any specific allowance for loan losses allocated to this specific loan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Corporation did not modify any loans as TDRs.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Corporation did not have any loans which were modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification.

Credit Quality Indicators. Management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors.

Commercial real estate and commercial business loans not identified as impaired are evaluated as risk rated pools of loans utilizing a risk rating practice that is supported by a quarterly special asset review. In this review process, strengths and weaknesses are identified, evaluated and documented for each criticized and classified loan and borrower, strategic action plans are developed, risk ratings are confirmed and the loan’s performance status is reviewed.

Management has determined certain portions of the loan portfolio to be homogeneous in nature and assigns like reserve factors for the following loan pool types: residential real estate, home equity loans and lines of credit, and consumer installment and personal lines of credit.

The reserve allocation for risk rated loan pools is developed by applying the following factors:

Historic: Management utilizes a computer model to develop the historical net charge-off experience which is used to formulate the assumptions employed in the migration analysis applied to estimate losses in the portfolio. Outstanding balance and charge-off information are input into the model and historical loss migration rate assumptions are developed to apply to pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful risk rated loans. A twelve-quarter rolling weighted-average is utilized to estimate probable incurred losses in the portfolios.

Qualitative: Qualitative adjustment factors for pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful ratings are developed and applied to risk rated loans to allow for: quality of lending policies and procedures; national and local economic and business conditions; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; experiences, ability and depth of lending management; changes in trends, volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and classified loans and loss and recovery trends; quality of loan review systems; concentrations of credit and other external factors.

Management uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as pass typically exhibit good payment performance and have underlying borrowers with acceptable financial trends where repayment capacity is evident. These borrowers typically would have a sufficient cash flow that would allow them to weather an economic downturn and the value of any underlying collateral could withstand a moderate degree of depreciation due to economic conditions.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention are characterized by potential weaknesses that could jeopardize repayment as contractually agreed. These loans may exhibit adverse trends such as increasing leverage, shrinking profit margins and/or deteriorating cash flows. These borrowers would inherently be more vulnerable to the application of economic pressures.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard exhibit weaknesses that are well-defined to the point that repayment is jeopardized. Typically, the Corporation is no longer adequately protected by both the apparent net worth and repayment capacity of the borrower.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have advanced to the point that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently ascertainable facts, conditions and value, is highly questionable or improbable.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass and the criticized categories of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Corporation’s internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

5.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s acquired goodwill and intangible assets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Goodwill	$	19,460	$	—	$	19,448	$	—
Core deposit intangibles		5,634		4,345		5,634		4,211
Total	$	25,094	$	4,345	$	25,082	$	4,211

Goodwill resulted from five acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price paid for the acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, net of the fair value of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Corporation has selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during 2018 or in the first nine months of 2019.

The core deposit intangible asset, resulting from three acquisitions, is amortized over a weighted average estimated life of the related deposits and is not estimated to have a significant residual value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation recorded intangible amortization expense totaling $44,000 and $134,000, respectively, compared to $67,000 and $203,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2018.

6.	Stock Compensation Plan

In April 2014, the Corporation adopted the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was approved by shareholders and permits the grant of restricted stock awards and options to its directors, officers and employees for up to 176,866 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2019, 37,783 shares of restricted stock and 88,433 stock options remain available for issuance under the Plan.

Incentive stock options, non-incentive or compensatory stock options and share awards may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price of each option shall at least equal the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years. Options shall vest and become exercisable at the rate, to the extent and subject to such limitations as may be specified by the Corporation. Compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions must be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

At September 30, 2019, there were no options that were granted or outstanding under the Plan.

A summary of the status of the Corporation’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2019, and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2019		37,250	$	29.94
Granted		—		—
Vested		—		—
Forfeited		—		—
Nonvested as of September 30, 2019		37,250	$	29.94

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation recognized stock compensation expense of $90,000 and $271,000, respectively, compared to $37,000 and $187,000, respectively for the same periods in 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there was $513,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next three years. It is the Corporation’s policy to issue shares on the vesting date for restricted stock awards. Unvested restricted stock awards do not receive dividends declared by the Corporation.

7.	Fair Value

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sale transaction or exit price on the date indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following assets:

Debt securities available-for-sale, equity securities – The fair value of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). Level 1 includes U.S. Treasury, federal agency securities and certain equity securities. For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). Level 2 includes U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, state and political subdivision securities and certain corporate debt securities. For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and may include certain corporate debt and equity securities held by the Corporation.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Description	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

The Corporation’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation reclassified one corporate security from Level 3 to Level 2. For the same period in 2018, the Corporation reclassified a restricted bank stock from the equity security portfolio to other assets and certain corporate securities from Level 3 to Level 2. Also during 2018, the Corporation sold $25,000 in equity securities from Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following assets:

Impaired loans – At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive a specific allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Corporation did not have any impaired loans carried at fair value measured using the fair value of collateral. During the three month period ended September 30, 2019 there was no additional provision for loan losses recorded for impaired loans. There was additional provision for loan losses recorded for impaired loans of $63,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, however, the loan was charged-off prior to the end of the second quarter. There were no additional provisions recorded for impaired loans during the same periods in 2018.

Other real estate owned (OREO) – Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. Management’s ongoing review of appraisal information may result in additional discounts or adjustments to the valuation based upon more recent market sales activity or more current appraisal information derived from properties of similar type and/or locale. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Corporation had no OREO measured at fair value. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no expense recorded associated with the write-down of OREO. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there was expense recorded of $35,000 and $11,000, respectively. The related properties were sold prior to the end of the respective reporting periods. As of December 31, 2018, OREO measured at fair value less costs to sell had a net carrying amount of $160,000, which consisted of the outstanding balance of $415,000 less write-downs of $255,000.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed by the Corporation. Once received, management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an annual basis, the Corporation compares the actual selling price of OREO that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. The most recent analysis performed indicated that a discount of 10% should be applied.

For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Description	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
December 31, 2018:

Total	$	160	$	—	$	—	$	160

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was an impaired residential mortgage loan totaling $68,000 and $61,000, respectively, and an impaired home equity loan totaling $4,000 and $6,000, respectively, which were classified as TDRs and measured using a discounted cash flow methodology.

This information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

8.	Regulatory Matters

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by 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. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

In 2018 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System amended its Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement by increasing the policy’s consolidated assets threshold from $1 billion to $3 billion. The primary benefit of being deemed a "small bank holding company" is the exemption from the requirement to maintain consolidated regulatory capital ratios; instead, regulatory capital ratios only apply at the subsidiary bank level.

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (BASEL III rules) became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the BASEL III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% in 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2019 is 2.50% and for 2018 was 1.875%. Amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income are not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of September 30, 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2019, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the Bank’s regulatory capital as of the dates presented. The capital adequacy ratios disclosed below are exclusive of the capital conservation buffer.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Interest income, net securities gains (losses) and bank-owned life insurance are not included within the scope of Topic 606. For the revenue streams in the scope of Topic 606, service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees, there are no significant judgments related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. All of the Corporation's revenue from contracts with customers is recognized within noninterest income.

Service charges on deposits: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such stop payment charges, statement rendering and other fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Electronic banking fees: The Corporation earns interchange and other ATM related fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The gross amount of these fees are processed through noninterest income. Other fees, such a transaction surcharges and card replacement fees are withdrawn from the customer's account balance at the time of service.

The following table presents the Corporation's sources of noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation leases real estate for five branch offices under various operating lease agreements. The lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from August 2025 to December 2056, including all extension periods. The Corporation has assumed that there are currently no circumstances in which the leases would be terminated before exhausting all options for extensions. The weighted average remaining life of the lease term for these leases was 13.14 years as of September 30, 2019.

The discount rate used in determining the lease liability for each individual lease was the FHLB fixed advance rate which corresponded with the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 for leases that existed at adoption. This methodology will be continued for the commencement of any subsequent lease agreements. The weighted average discount rate for the leases was 3.48% as of September 30, 2019.

The total operating lease costs were $48,000 and $145,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The right-of-use asset, included in premises and equipment, and lease liability, included in other liabilities, was $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2019. Rental expense for operating leases classified under ASC 840 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $50,000 and $150,000, respectively.

Total estimated rental commitments for the operating leases were as follows as of September 30, 2019:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial instruments. The main provisions of the guidance include (1) replacing the “incurred loss” approach under current GAAP with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost, (2) requiring entities to record an allowance for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount of the investments, as is required by the other-than-temporary impairment model under current GAAP, and (3) a simplified accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. Management has selected a software vendor and is currently working through the implementation process. The Corporation is reviewing available historical information in order to assess the expected credit losses and determine the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Corporation's financial statements. On October 16, 2019, FASB announced a delay for effective date of this ASU for smaller reporting companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The guidance is required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach. As the Corporation is a smaller reporting company, the delay would be applicable.

In January 2017, FASB ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, under this amendment, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments are effective for public business entities for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Corporation has goodwill from prior business combinations and performs an annual impairment test or more frequently if changes or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Corporation's most recent annual impairment assessment determined that the Corporation's goodwill was not impaired. Although the Corporation cannot anticipate future goodwill impairment assessments, based on the most recent assessment it is unlikely that an impairment amount would need to be calculated and, therefore, does not anticipate a material impact from these amendments to the Corporation's financial position and results of operations. The current accounting policies and processes are not anticipated to change, except for the elimination of the Step 2 analysis.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases". This ASU requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting treatment. This ASU changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease execution costs, and, for lessors, modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. ASU 2016-02 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which allows entities the option to apply the provisions of the new lease guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. Adoption of this guidance as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recording of operating lease right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $1.8 million. The Corporation recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earning for prior periods of $170,000, net of deferred taxes of $45,000. See Note 11-Leases for more information.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivable - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 amends guidance on the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to shorten the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 resulted in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $10,000, net of deferred taxes of $3,000, for the prior periods. The remaining securities subject to this guidance have a call date one month prior to maturity, therefore the impact to the statement of income in subsequent periods is immaterial.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The amendments in this Update are to better reflect the economic results of hedging in the financial statements along with simplification of certain hedge accounting requirements. Specifically, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is required to be presented in the same income statement line as and in the same period that the earnings effect of the hedged item is recognized. Therefore, hedge ineffectiveness will not be reported separately or in a different period. In addition, hedge effectiveness can be determined qualitatively in periods following inception. The amendments permit an entity to measure the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component. They also permit an entity to measure the hedged item in a partial-term fair value hedge of interest rate risk by assuming the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged. For a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets, an entity is permitted to designate the amount that is not expected to be affected by prepayments or defaults as the hedged item. For public business entities, the new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Corporation currently does not have derivative or hedging instruments so this guidance had no impact on consolidated financial statements.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased $42.6 million, or 4.7%, to $941.4 million at September 30, 2019 from $898.9 million at December 31, 2018. The change in assets was driven primarily by an increase in cash and cash equivalents, securities and interest earning time deposits of $38.3 million, $20.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in net loans of $20.3 million. Total liabilities increased $36.6 million, or 4.5%, to $855.5 million at September 30, 2019 from $818.9 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to an increase in customer deposits of $46.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in borrowed funds of $11.6 million.

Stockholders’ equity increased $5.9 million, or 7.4%, to $85.9 million at September 30, 2019 from $80.0 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in retained earnings as a result of $6.3 million of net income, partially offset by $2.4 million of dividends paid. Additionally, the accumulated other comprehensive loss declined by $1.9 million as a result of improvement in the Corporation unrealized gains on securities. The Corporation remains well capitalized and is positioned for continued growth with total stockholders’ equity at 9.1% of total assets. Book value per common share was $30.28 at September 30, 2019, compared to $28.09 at December 31, 2018.

At September 30, 2019, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” with a Tier 1 leverage ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio of 8.13%, 12.66%, 12.66% and 13.78%, respectively. The Bank was also considered “well-capitalized” at December 31, 2018 with a Tier 1 leverage ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio of 7.95%, 11.82%, 11.82% and 12.93%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

General. Net income available to common stockholders increased $1.0 million, or 86.7%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.2 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was the result of increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $875,000 and $147,000, respectively, and a decrease of $445,000 in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in the provision for income taxes and noninterest expense of $257,000 and $203,000, respectively.

Net interest income. Tax equivalent net interest income increased $872,000, or 14.1%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was attributed to an increase in tax equivalent interest income of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $846,000.

Interest income. Tax equivalent interest income increased $1.7 million, or 22.9%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.5 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was attributed to increases in interest earned on loans, interest-earning deposits with banks and securities and dividends on federal bank stocks of $1.5 million, $139,000, $52,000 and $39,000, respectively.

Tax equivalent interest earned on loans receivable increased $1.5 million, or 22.2%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2018. This increase resulted from a $100.9 million, or 17.0%, increase in average loans, accounting for a $1.2 million increase in interest income. The increase in loans receivable was related to the acquisition of Community First Bancorp, Inc. in October 2018. Adding to this favorable volume variance, the average yield on loans increased 20 basis points to 4.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, versus 4.48% for the same period in 2018. This favorable yield variance accounted for a $307,000 increase in interest income. Accretion of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired loans accounted for approximately 5 basis points of the yield increase.

Interest earned on deposits with banks increased $139,000 to $251,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $112,000 for the same period in 2018. This increase resulted from a $25.2 million, or 98.2%, increase in average cash balances, accounting for a $123,000 increase in interest income. Adding to this favorable volume variance, the average yield on cash and cash equivalent balances increased 23 basis points to 1.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, versus 1.73% for the same period in 2018, accounting for a $16,000 increase in interest income.

Tax equivalent interest earned on securities increased $52,000, or 8.4%, to $674,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $622,000 for the same period in 2018. The average balance of securities increased $4.3 million, or 4.3%, accounting for a $27,000 increase in interest income. Additionally, the average yield on securities increased by 10 basis points to 2.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 versus 2.48% for the same period in 2018. This favorable yield variance accounted for a $25,000 increase in interest income.

Dividends on federal bank stocks increased $39,000, or 60.0%, to $104,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $65,000 for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million, or 30.5%, increase in the average balance of federal bank stocks, accounting for a $22,000 increase in interest income. Additionally, an increase of 131 basis points in the average yield on federal bank stocks to 7.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, versus 5.79% for the same period in 2018, accounted for an $17,000 increase in interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $846,000, or 63.8%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2018. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to increases in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds of $755,000 and $91,000, respectively.

Interest expense incurred on deposits increased $755,000, or 63.8%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2018. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 35 basis points to 1.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, versus 0.86% for the same period in 2018, accounting for a $550,000 increase in interest expense. Additionally, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $85.4 million, or 15.6%, to $633.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $548.5 million for the same period in 2018 causing a $205,000 increase in interest expense. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Community First in October 2018.

Interest expense incurred on borrowed funds increased $91,000, or 64.1%, to $233,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $142,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of borrowed funds increased $14.0 million, or 70.7%, to $33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $19.8 million for the same period in 2018 causing an $90,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in the outstanding balance of borrowed funds primarily resulted from three additional $5.0 million FHLB long-term notes taken in December 2018. The average cost of long-term borrowed funds increased 12 basis points to 2.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2.42% for the same period in 2018 causing a $5,000 increase in interest expense. Partially offsetting the cost of long-term borrowings, the average cost of short-term borrowed funds decreased 60 basis points to 5.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 6.31% for the same period in 2018 causing a $4,000 decrease in interest expense.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following table analyzes the changes in interest income and interest expense in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to which changes in the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate), rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on loans and securities reflect the changes in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.

Provision for loan losses. The Corporation records provisions for loan losses to maintain a level of total allowance for loan losses that management believes, to the best of its knowledge, covers all probable incurred losses estimable at each reporting date. Management considers historical loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, current conditions (particularly as they relate to markets where the Corporation originates loans), the status of nonperforming assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans		130.78	%		115.89	%

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.0 million, or 17.0% to $5.0 million at September 30, 2019 from $6.0 million at June 30, 2019. This was primarily due to changes in the non-accrual status of five loans. Three loans totaling $525,000 were removed from non-accrual status after the application of payments to past due balances brought the loans current. Additionally, one $423,000 residential real estate loan previously on non-accrual was paid in full and one $91,000 non-accrual residential real estate loan was transferred to OREO.

As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $20.8 million, or 2.2% of total assets, with $17.2 million classified as substandard and $3.6 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $25.5 million, or 2.8% of total assets, with $19.8 million classified as substandard and $5.7 million identified as special mention at June 30, 2019. This $4.7 million decrease was primarily related to a $2.5 million payoff of a commercial relationship previously identified as substandard and the upgrade of a $2.1 million commercial relationship from special mention to pass during the third quarter of 2019.

The provision for loan losses decreased $445,000 to a recovery of $145,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from a provision of $300,000 for the same period in 2018. This recovery was primarily due to the aforementioned improvement in the criticized and classified loan balances during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $147,000, or 13.8%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2018 due to increases in gains of the sale of securities, gains on the sale of loans and other income of $44,000, $42,000 and $67,000 respectively. The increase in other income was primarily driven by increases in ATM fees.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $203,000, or 3.4%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $5.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increase primarily related to increases in compensation and benefits expense and other noninterest expense of $668,000 and $229,000, respectively, partially offset by a reduction in acquistion costs and FDIC insurance expense of $677,000 and $103,000, respectively. The increases primarily related to costs associated with the new banking offices acquired in the Community First acquisition and normal salary and benefit and operating expense increases. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was a result of utilizing Small Bank assessment credits of $112,000 during the period.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $257,000 to $444,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $187,000 for the same period in the prior year as a result of the increase in net income before provision for income taxes.

Comparison of Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

General. Net income available to common stockholders increased $2.4 million, or 60.1%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $3.9 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was the result of increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $3.1 million and $388,000, respectively, and a decrease of $675,000 in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense, provision for income taxes and preferred stock dividends of $1.1 million, $637,000 and $91,000, respectively.

Net interest income. Tax equivalent net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 17.1%, to $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was attributed to an increase in tax equivalent interest income of $5.2 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $2.1 million.

Interest income. Tax equivalent interest income increased $5.2 million, or 23.7%, to $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $22.0 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was attributed to increases in interest earned on loans, interest on deposits with banks, and securities and dividends on federal bank stocks of $4.8 million, $169,000, $145,000 and $95,000, respectively.

Tax equivalent interest earned on loans receivable increased $4.8 million, or 24.4%, to $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $19.8 million for the same period in 2018. This increase resulted from a $111.6 million, or 18.9%, increase in average loans, accounting for an increase of $3.9 million in interest income. The increase in loans receivable was related to the acquisition of Community First Bancorp, Inc. in October 2018. Adding to this favorable volume variance, the average yield on loans increased 21 basis points to 4.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, versus 4.48% for the same period in 2018. This favorable yield variance accounted for a $941,000 increase in interest income. Accretion of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired loans accounted for approximately 5 basis points of the yield increase.

Interest earned on deposits with banks increased $169,000, or 74.1%, to $397,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $228,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase resulted from an $8.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits accounting for an increase of $108,000 in interest income. Additionally, a 34 basis point increase in the average yield on these accounts to 1.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, versus 1.47% for the same period in 2018, accounting for a $61,000 increase in interest income.

Tax equivalent interest earned on securities increased $145,000, or 8.0%, to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase resulted from a 18 basis point increase in the average yield on securities to 2.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 versus 2.44% for the same period in 2018. This favorable yield variance accounted for a $129,000 increase in interest income. Additionally, the average balance of securities increased $841,000 accounting for a $16,000 increase in interest income.

Dividends on federal bank stocks increased $95,000, or 43.0%, to $316,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $221,000 for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million, or 31.3%, increase in the average balance of federal bank stocks, accounting for a $74,000 increase in interest income. Furthermore, an increase of 56 basis points in the average yield on federal bank stocks to 7.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, versus 6.64% for the same period in 2018, accounted for a $21,000 increase in interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 56.4%, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $3.7 million for the same period in 2018. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to a $1.8 million increase in interest incurred on deposits and an increase of $329,000 in interest incurred on borrowed funds.

Interest expense incurred on deposits increased $1.8 million, or 54.0%, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2018. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 28 basis points to 1.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, versus 0.81% for the same period in 2018, accounting for a $1.3 million increase in interest expense. Additionally, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $75.1 million, or 13.8%, to $618.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $543.7 million for the same period in 2018 causing a $498,000 increase in interest expense. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Community First in October 2018.

Interest expense incurred on borrowed funds increased $329,000, or 74.8%, to $769,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $440,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of borrowed funds increased $16.1 million, or 74.8%, to $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $21.5 million for the same period in 2018 causing a $335,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in the outstanding balance of borrowed funds primarily resulted from three additional $5.0 million FHLB long-term notes taken in December 2018. Additionally, the average cost of long-term borrowed funds increased 11 basis points to 2.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2.45% for the same period in 2018 causing a $16,000 increase in interest expense. Partially offsetting these increases, the average cost of short-term borrowed funds decreased 86 basis points to 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 4.64% for the same period in 2018 causing a $22,000 decrease in interest expense.

Nonperforming loans increased $1.9 million, or 98.1%, to $5.0 million at September 30, 2019 from $3.0 million at December 31, 2018. This was primarily due to one commercial relationships totaling $2.4 million being placed on non-accrual status partially offset by the payoff of one residential real estate loan totaling $423,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $20.8 million, or 2.2% of total assets, with $17.2 million classified as substandard and $3.6 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $22.9 million, or 2.5% of total assets, with $16.4 million classified as substandard and $6.5 million identified as special mention at December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily related to the rating upgrades of two commercial relationships totaling $2.4 million, the payoffs of five commercial relationships totaling $1.9 million, the $423,000 payoff of a residential real estate loan and the transfer to OREO of one commercial relationship totaling $232,000, partially offset by the rating downgrades of five commercial relationships totaling $3.4 million.

The provision for loan losses decreased $675,000, or 68.9%, to $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $980,000 for the same period in 2018 as criticized and classified loans improved by $2.1 million and portfolio net charge-offs were lower compared to the same period in 2018.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $388,000, or 12.9%, to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2018. Fees and service charges increased $194,000, primarily associated with the operation of the three new full-service banking offices which were acquired from Community First and general increases in overdraft fee income. Additionally, net gains on the sale of loans and net gains on the sale of securities increased $69,000 and $52,000, respectively.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.2%, to $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $15.5 million for the same period in 2018. The increase primarily related to increases in compensation and benefits expense, other noninterest expense and occupancy and equipment expense of $1.4 million, $718,000 and $272,000, respectively. The increases primarily related to costs associated with the aforementioned new banking offices and normal salary and benefit and operating expense increases. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decreases of $1.0 million in acquisition costs and $124,000 in FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was a result of utilizing Small Bank assessment credits of $112,000 during the period.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $637,000, or 86.7%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $735,000 for the same period in the prior year as a result of the increase in net income before provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB, Federal Reserve and other correspondent banks, and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and maturing securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation used its sources of funds primarily to reduce short-term borrowed funds and increase interest earning time deposits and investment balances. As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation had outstanding loan commitments, including undisbursed loans and amounts available under credit lines, totaling $107.4 million, and standby letters of credit totaling $979,000, net of collateral maintained by the Bank.

At September 30, 2019, time deposits amounted to $227.2 million, or 28.1% of the Corporation’s total consolidated deposits, including approximately $64.2 million of which are scheduled to mature within the next year. Management of the Corporation believes (i) it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments, (ii) all of its commitments will be funded as required by related maturity dates and (iii) based upon past experience and current pricing policies, it can adjust the rates of time deposits to retain a substantial portion of maturing liabilities if necessary.

Aside from liquidity available from customer deposits or through sales and maturities of securities, the Corporation and the Bank have alternative sources of funds. These sources include a line of credit for the Corporation with a correspondent bank, the Bank's line of credit and term borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve’s discount window and, to a more limited extent, through the sale of loans. At September 30, 2019, the Corporation had borrowed funds of $33.8 million consisting of $30.0 million of long-term FHLB advances, a $1.7 million long-term advance with a correspondent bank and $2.1 million outstanding on a line of credit with a correspondent bank. At September 30, 2019, the Corporation’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB, net of funds borrowed and irrevocable standby letters of credit issue to secure certain deposit accounts, was $250.1 million.

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely impact its liquidity or its ability to meet funding needs in the ordinary course of business.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (BCBS) capital guidelines for U.S. banks were approved by the FRB and FDIC. Under the final rules, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.5%, raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, require a minimum ratio of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A new capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and has increased each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the final rules. The final rules also revised the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, Total Capital and risk-weighted assets. The phase-in period for the final rules became effective on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the final rules’ requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule which was fully phased-in on January 1, 2019.

At September 30, 2019, the Bank exceeded all minimum capital requirements under these capital guidelines.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates or judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily though the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has identified the following as critical accounting policies.

Allowance for loan losses. The Corporation considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. Among the many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses, some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all of the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact the Corporation’s financial condition or earnings in future periods.

Other-than-temporary impairment. Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.

Goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of the reporting unit compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. At November 30, 2018, the required annual impairment test of goodwill was performed and no impairment existed as of the valuation date. If for any future period it is determined that there has been impairment in the carrying value of our goodwill balances, the Corporation will record a charge to earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on net income, but not risk based capital ratios.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for the Corporation consists primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk, and has no trading portfolio, and therefore, is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market value of long-term interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses depend upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

One of the primary functions of the Corporation’s asset/liability management committee is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability committee is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of the Bank’s rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing “gap”, provide an indication of the extent that the Corporation’s net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income. The closer to zero that gap is maintained, generally, the lesser the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income.

Assumptions about the timing and variability of cash flows are critical in gap analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the expected attrition of the core deposits portfolios. These assumptions are based on the Corporation’s historical experience, industry standards and assumptions provided by a federal regulatory agency, which management believes most accurately represents the sensitivity of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation’s interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled $270.6 million while the Corporation’s interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one-year totaled $196.0 million, providing an excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $74.6 million. At September 30, 2019, the percentage of the Corporation’s assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 138.1%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).

As of September 30, 2019, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Corporation’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Corporation completed its evaluation.

There has been no change made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
