2018 ANNUAL REPORT - FCB Texas...Lubbock, three in Midland and one each in Dallas, Horseshoe Bay,...

2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (FBOT), is the holding company for FirstCapital Bank of Texas, N.A., an independent community bank with two offices each in Amarillo and Lubbock, three in Midland and one each in Dallas, Horseshoe Bay, Marble Falls and Fredericksburg. FirstCapital Bank was chartered in November 1998 and First Bancshares was formed on February 1, 2002. FirstCapital Bank presently employs more than 220 team members across the five markets it serves. We also have an accomplished and well-respected board of directors and officers who provide expertise in fields such as oil and gas, real estate and medicine. An employer of choice, FirstCapital Bank of Texas was recognized by American Banker as the #15 Best Bank to Work for in the Nation.

In November 2018, FBOT signed a definitive agreement to acquire FB Bancshares, the holding company that owns Wichita Falls-based Fidelity Bank, which operates six branches in Wichita Falls, TX, and surrounding communities, and employs more than 60 team members. The acquisition closed on March 1, 2019 and Fidelity Bank will become FirstCapital Bank of Texas in July 2019.

Working toward a common vision of “Making Every Customer’s Dream a Reality,” FirstCapital Bank and our team members exemplify that vision in every interaction we have with our customers by honoring our promise, “You above all.” We focus primarily on providing a broad range of financial services to small and medium-size businesses and retail financial services to the owners and employees of those businesses. We also have a strong mortgage lending presence in all of the markets we serve.

From the beginning, we have always put the needs of our customers and communities first.

“2018 was a very good year . . . We earned more money than any

other year in our history.”

A Message from Ken Burgess

2018 was an eventful year at FirstCapital Bank of Texas, one in which we celebrated our 20th year in business. We have seen many changes over the last 20 years, especially in the financial services industry. The way we process checks, deliver statements, deliver transactional services and many other areas of the business are significantly different. We saw the invention of the smartphone during this 20-year timeframe, which changed many things for our business and in many other areas of our lives.

We have seen significant national and global events during this time, including September 11 and the great financial crisis, along with several oil and gas cycles, which we had to deal with more so in our markets than other banks in our state and nationally. I am proud to say we have weathered the storms and met the challenges and have grown to over $1 billion in assets. We were able to do this because of the great team we have assembled and our outstanding shareholders and customers.

2018 was a very good year for our company. We earned more money than any other year in our history. We opened a new branch in Fredericksburg, thus expanding our growing presence in the Texas Hill Country. We opened a loan production office in Dallas, which became a full-service branch in February of 2019. We signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fidelity Bank in Wichita Falls, TX, which was closed on March 1, 2019, bringing the Company’s total assets to over $1.6 billion. We are very excited about the Wichita Falls team and the new marketplace.

Our industry changed significantly after the financial crisis due to intense regulation. Rapid consolidation has occurred as a result and the price of remaining competitive and efficient is scale. For this reason, management and the board of directors made a strategic decision in 2017 to embark on an acquisition strategy to increase

scale and to improve efficiency. We raised $45 million in new capital in 2017 to position ourselves for this initiative. Wichita Falls was our first transaction. We will continue to search for other strategic opportunities with the primary goal of improving shareholder value and remaining competitive and efficient.

The following report highlights our growth and accomplishments over the last year and includes a detailed analysis of our financial performance this past year. I hope you enjoy looking it over and remembering some of our highlights. Thank you for your support over the past 20 years. We hope it will continue well into the future.

Sincerely,

Kenneth L. Burgess Jr.Chairman

New Branches, Markets – and Opportunities

In 2018, we strengthened our presence in the Texas Hill Country with the September opening of our Fredericksburg branch, while laying the foundation for the planned 2019 opening of a full-service FCB branch in Dallas – our first in a major metropolitan market – with the opening of a loan production office. Also, on the agenda for 2019: We will finalize our merger with Fidelity Bank, which has six branches in and around Wichita Falls.

Putting people first: Since our founding in 1998, that commitment has set FirstCapital Bank of Texas apart from our competitors, made us a special experience for our customers, a unique place to work and a passionate contributor to our communities. And 2018 was no exception.

A Year of Achievement Built on Solid Values, 20 Years Strong

The FCB team celebrates the September 2018 opening of our Fredericksburg branch at its ribbon cutting ceremony.

At FCB, we strive to make our employees feel valued – like family – and it’s working: For the fourth consecutive year, FCB was named one of the Best Banks to Work for in a nationwide program initiated in 2013 by American Banker magazine. The two-step program combines a review of the bank’s workplace policies with an employee survey to determine the top banks and final rankings.

FirstCapital Bank of Texas Named Finalist in International Torch Award for Ethics

Our bank demonstrated our REACH corporate values in action and was recognized for it by receiving a 2018 Torch Award from the Amarillo Better Business Bureau chapter – and being named a finalist in the international competition. Founded in 1996, the award honors companies that demonstrate best practices, leadership, social responsibility and high standards of organizational ethics that benefit their customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and communities.

Midland Financial Literacy Program Earns IBAT Community Banking Award

FCB Texas recognizes that education is a vital cornerstone to the communities we serve. One way our Midland market chooses to invest in their community is by partnering with Junior Achievement –earning a 2018 Community Banking Award from the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) in the process. They hosted a financial literacy program for 24 local high school students at the Midland headquarters as part of the Permian Basin’s first “Reverse JA in a Day” event. Students attended sessions taught by FCB team members, participated in lessons and activities as well as the bank’s Star Panel, where they were given the opportunity to question executive team members about their education and career paths.

Respect and care for people

Ethical behavior always

Our Corporate ValuesThese values are the foundation for everything we do for our customers, employees and communities:

REACH:

FirstCapital Bank of Texas’ New Employee Community Impact Initiative, which gives new team members the opportunity to make a difference in their communities made a big impression on the Texas Bankers Association Cornerstone Awards committee, earning FCB an honorable mention. Through the Initiative, employees are given money they can use to purchase – and then personally deliver –supplies for local nonprofits. Community impacts include purchasing food for local food banks and animal shelters, toiletry items for battered women’s shelters and school supplies for children in need.

It’s a very Merry Christmas at the Lubbock Children’s Home, where its volunteers accept a check for $2,000 donated by FCB.

Lubbock Children’s Home: Spreading Joy from Cookouts to Christmas!

The Lubbock Children’s Home has helped thousands of children in need in its 60-plus years, providing everything from residential group care to aftercare services and emergency shelter. Thanks to their longstanding partnership with FCB, they also can provide some extra smiles too. In 2018, we partnered with them for a fun-filled cookout for their residence’s children and staff, donated Christmas gifts to the kids through their Angel Tree program and also donated to the Home at holiday time in lieu of giving our customers Christmas gifts.

Mark Philpy: A Customer Relationship that Stands the Test of Time

Mark Philpy of North Star Operating Company has been with FCB Texas literally since the day we opened our doors in 1998 – and with good reason. “It’s all about personal service,” he explained. “Everyone is always friendly and available – much nicer than the ‘big banks.’” Plus, FCB was there for the community – even when some other banks weren’t: “When the price of crude took its dips, the bank stood by their customers and rode out the downturns.” That’s what putting “You above all” means to Mark – and why he’s been a loyal FCB customer for two decades.

FCB chairman Ken Burgess (far left) kicks off our 20th anniversary team event by sharing highlights of our history and how we got here.

Celebrating the Team Behind FCB’s Success

From our founding, FCB has held steadfast to the belief that providing truly excellent service to our customers meant investing in the well-being of our team members first, so we could think of no better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary than with an all-team event. Filled with inspirational messaging, fun team-building activities – including the aptly named FCB Texas Family Feud – anniversary mementos, and a community impact project, the event was a huge success (despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions).

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (the “Company”) reported net income of $12.053 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to net income of $8.7 million for December 31, 2017. In 2017, the Company had recognized a $2.0 million write down of our deferred tax asset (“DTA”) in response to enactment of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), which negatively impacted 2017 net income. Federal corporate rates declined from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.08% for year ended December 31, 2018. Comparatively, ROA for the year ended December 31, 2017 was .82% as 2017 was negatively impacted by the writedown of the DTA in response to the Tax Act. ROA exclusive of the effects of this writedown and other tax items would have been .96% for year ended December 31, 2017. ROE for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 8.08% and 7.72%, respectively.

Gross loans at December 31, 2018 were $848 million, a 9% increase over $777 million for December 31, 2017. Loan-to-deposit ratio (net of loans held for sale) for the Company was 89.96% and 82.67% at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Total deposits increased slightly ending December 31, 2018 at $943 million compared to $940 million at December 31, 2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits rose 2.7% to $317.3 million at December 31, 2018 from $308.9 million at December 31, 2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits comprise 34% and 33% of total deposits at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Total assets were $1.124 billion at December 31, 2018 compared to $1.110 billion at December 31, 2017.

Stockholders’ equity increased by 9% to $154 million at December 31, 2018 from $142 million at December 31, 2017. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, FirstCapital Bank of Texas (the “Bank”), is well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2018, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 10.47%.

Net interest income was $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, a 12.4% increase over $41.5 million for year ended December 31, 2017. Net interest margin was 4.46% and 4.18% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

The Company recorded a $1.3 million provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $1.0 million for

the year ended December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018 decreased to 1.60% of total loans compared to 1.64% at December 31, 2017. In management’s opinion, the allowance is appropriate and is derived from consistent application of the methodology for establishing reserves for the loan portfolio.

Noninterest income was $5.6 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of 38.7%. Increases were centered in both income from bank-owned life insurance and a $600,000 gain on sale of a drive-thru location in 2018.

Noninterest expense was $36.3 million and $30.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of 20.8%. Increases were centered in salary and benefits and occupancy reflecting an increase in branches (Marble Falls branch, acquired third quarter 2017; a second Lubbock branch, fourth quarter of 2017; a Fredericksburg branch and a Dallas LPO in mid-2018). Legal expense also increased $500,000, attributable to a large customer with a group of related entities filing bankruptcy as a result of fraud and subsequent lawsuits being filed against the Bank. Acquisition related expenses increased $500,000 in 2018 as the Company negotiated an acquisition agreement with FB Bancshares, Inc. located in Wichita Falls. Additionally, the Bank crossed the $1 billion in assets threshold in 2017 resulting in increases to audit and regulatory expenses in 2018.

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1: Nature of Operation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operation

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, FirstCapital Bank of Texas, N.A. (the Bank). The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses primarily in the Texas cities of Amarillo, Fredericksburg, Horseshoe Bay, Lubbock, Marble Falls, and Midland, and their respective surrounding areas. The Bank is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within 90 days. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.

The Company may be required to maintain average balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company was not required to maintain a reserve as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

Interest-bearing deposits in banks mature within three months and are carried at cost.

14




Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as "available for sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be requested to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings, For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Investment in Partnerships

The Company accounts for the investment in partnerships based on the cost method of accounting, and amounts are presented in Other Assets on the Statement of Financial Condition. The total remaining commitment is $3,451. In 2016, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Valesco Fund II, L.P. for $126 and committed to purchase a total of $3,000. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the investment in the partnership was $833, and $297, respectively. In 2014, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Independent Bankers Capital Fund III, L.P. for $458 and committed to purchase a total of $1,500. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the investment in the partnership was $1,262, and $905, respectively.

15




In 2012, the Company committed to purchase a partnership interest in Pharos III, L.P. for a total of $1,500. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the investment in the partnership was $878 and $615, respectively. In 2011, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Valesco Commerce Street Capital, L.P. for $59 and committed to purchase a total of $500. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the investment in the partnership was $76 and $95, respectively. In 2009, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Independent Bankers Capital Fund II, L.P. for $37 and committed to purchase a total of $250. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the investment in the partnership was $28 and $57, respectively.

Restricted Investments Carried at Cost

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and TIB-The Independent BankersBank (TIB) stock are required investments for institutions that are members of the FHLB, FRB and TIB systems. The required investments in the common stock are based on predetermined formulas, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments by investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at loan origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan. Loans are generally sold servicing released.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout the Texas cities of Amarillo, Fredericksburg, Horseshoe Bay, Lubbock, Marble Falls and Midland and their respective surrounding areas. The Company also operated a loan production office in Dallas for a portion of 2018. The ability of the Company's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area.

16




Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearned income, charge offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. The accrual of interest on all loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment should be charged off.

17




The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component is based on historical charge off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company's internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. Factors include the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge offs and recoveries; migrations of loans to the classification of special mention, substandard or doubtful; trends in volume and terms of loans’ effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentration. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group's historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

18




A troubled debt restructured loan is a loan, which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower's financial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites. A troubled debt restructured loan would generally be considered impaired in the year of modification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. The estimated useful lives for each major depreciable classification of premises and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and improvements 35-40 years

Leasehold improvements 5-10 years

Equipment 3-5 years

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one year from the transaction date and are presented at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities.

Preferred Stock

The Company has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share. The preferred stock was available for issuance from time to time for various purposes as determined by the board of directors, including making future acquisitions, raising additional equity capital and financing.

19




Series 2009 Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2017, all Series 2009 Preferred Stock was repurchased. The Company has designated 1,100,000 of authorized shares as Series 2009 Preferred Stock. The Series 2009 Preferred Stock had a subscription price of $10.00 per share and a par value of $1.00 per share. Dividends are paid quarterly, and are based on a variable rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate in effect on the first day of each quarterly interest payment period, with a floor rate of 6% and a ceiling rate of 9%. Dividends are non-cumulative. If the board of directors does not declare a dividend for a particular quarterly period, the Company has no obligation to pay dividends for that quarter. The holders of the Series 2009 Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except in connection with (1) the creation of a class or series of stock ranking prior to the Series A in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on its liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; (2) certain mergers and consolidations between the Company and another entity; (3) amendments to the Company's Articles. Holders also do not have any preemptive or subscription rights to acquire additional shares of Company stock. The Series 2009 Preferred Stock has no maturity date and the Company is not obligated to redeem them. The Company may, at its option, and subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank, redeem the Series 2009 Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time at a cash redemption price of $10.00 per share. During 2017, the Company redeemed 882,544 preferred shares for a total redemption price of $8,825.

Treasury Stock There was no treasury stock at December 31, 2018. Treasury stock is accounted for on the cost method, and consisted of 1,279 shares at December 31, 2017.

20




Stock Based Compensation

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognizes the fair value (calculated value) of stock-based awards to employees as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The share-based employee compensation plan is described more fully in Note 12.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the rights (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

21




Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and, upon examination, also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties recorded during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Dividend Restriction Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

22




Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Operating Segments While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments that are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Retirement Plans Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

Transfers between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels

Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (other significant observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the period ending date.

23




Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles, acquired in a purchase business combination with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The core deposit intangible is amortized on a straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 7 years.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or total stockholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In January 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as OREO. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities and derivatives that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within noninterest income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income, wealth management fees, investment brokerage fees, and the sale of OREO.

The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.

Except for gains or losses from the sale of OREO, all of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in noninterest income. The debit card interchange income was $628 for 2018. A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

24




Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company 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 Company 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. Interchange Income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. 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. Wealth Management Fees (Gross): The Company earns wealth management fees from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed, i.e., the trade date. Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

25




ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - In February 2016, the FASB amended guidance that requires lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, when necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance also requires enhanced disclosure about an entity’s leasing arrangements. The Company will adopt Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019. An entity may adopt the new guidance by either restating prior periods and recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or by recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the period of adoption. The new guidance includes a number of optional transition-related practical expedients. The practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. An entity that elects to apply these practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition. The effect of adopting this standard was approximately a $7-$8 million increase in assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-01, Fair Value Measurement - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The Company plans to adopt this standard in January 2019 and does not expect that this will have a material impact to the financial statements. Adoption of the standard will result in the use of an exit price rather than an entrance price to determine the fair value of loans not measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for further information regarding the valuation of these loans.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was $116,149 and $123,653, which is approximately 85 percent and 75 percent, respectively, of the Company's available for sale and held to maturity investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from recent changes in market interest rates.

Mortgage-backed, U.S. Government and Agency, and Municipal Bonds

The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in mortgage-backed, U.S. Government, Agency and Municipal securities were caused by interest rate increases and increases in prepayment speeds. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company's investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and increases in prepayment speeds and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Internal Risk Categories

The Company monitors credit quality within its portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. All of the Company's loans are evaluated using pass rated or reservable criticized as the primary credit quality indicator. The term reservable criticized refers to those loans that are internally classified or listed by the Company as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. These assets pose an elevated risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. In 2018, the bank reviewed approximately 56% of its loan portfolio, a combination of external loan review, and internal loan review.

32




The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. The Company reviews the ratings on credits on at least a quarterly basis. Ratings can be changed at any time based on a change in inherent risk. Ratings are adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss that is felt to be inherent in each credit as of each monthly reporting period. The methodology is structured so that specific allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss). Credits rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness, however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expects to experience significant loss within the short-term. Such credits typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms and credit exposure is not as prominent as credits rated more harshly. Credits rated substandard are those in which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or important weaknesses exist in collateral. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company's position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed. Credits rated doubtful are those in which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain and/or other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss. Credits rated doubtful are generally also placed on nonaccrual. Pass rated refers to loans that are not considered criticized. In addition to this primary credit quality indicator, the Company uses other credit quality indicators for certain types of loans.

33




Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows. Real Estate: The Company's real estate portfolio is comprised primarily of homogenous loans secured by residential and commercial real estate. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers and successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Credit risk in residential loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Company's market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower's personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Company's market areas. Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower's income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company's market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower. Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for u
