BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Note 1 – Business Description

Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a diversified financial holding company headquartered in Effingham, Illinois. Its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Midland States Bank (the “Bank”), has branches across Illinois and in Missouri and provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking products and services, business equipment financing, merchant credit card services, trust and investment management, and insurance and financial planning services. In addition, multifamily and healthcare facility Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) financing is provided through Love Funding Corporation (“Love Funding”), our non-bank subsidiary.

On July 17, 2019, we completed the acquisition of HomeStar Financial Group, Inc. (“HomeStar”) and its banking subsidiary, HomeStar Bank and Financial Services (“HomeStar Bank”), as more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Through the acquisition of HomeStar, we expanded our commercial and retail banking presence in northern Illinois. After the acquisition, HomeStar Bank operated as a subsidiary of the Company until its merger into the Bank in October 2019.

Our principal business activity has been lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We have derived income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investment securities. We have also derived income from noninterest sources, such as: fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; wealth management services; residential mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; and, from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our income sources also include Love Funding’s commercial FHA loan origination and servicing income. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing costs, professional fees and other noninterest expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. A discussion of these policies can be found in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been one change to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2018, which is described below. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein, have been included. Certain reclassifications of 2018 amounts have been made to conform to the 2019 presentation. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2019

FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements.” The new standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Under the new guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of income. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, and used the effective date as its date of initial application.

A modified retrospective adoption approach is required, applying the new standard to all existing leases in effect at the adoption date and new leases going forward. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to January 1, 2019. This update also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” permitted by ASU 2018-11, which allows us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its office equipment leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.

At the adoption date, the Company reported increased assets and liabilities of approximately $12.1 million on its consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities related to non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated statement of income.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted

FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”).” The objective of this update is to improve financial reporting by providing timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will use forward-looking information to better understand their credit loss estimates. For public companies that are filers with the SEC and not smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As previously disclosed, the Company has established a cross-functional governance structure, which oversees overall strategy for implementation of Topic 326. Additionally, a working group was formed and has developed a project plan focused on understanding the ASU, researching issues, data requirements, technology solutions and future state processes. The Company engaged a third party to carry out model validation during the third quarter of 2019. The model validation is in its final stages of review and will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2019. The existing allowance for loan loss model is running parallel to the CECL model prior to final implementation in the first quarter of 2020. The working group has identified 12 distinct loan classes for which a model has been developed and internally validated. The Company continues to focus on researching and resolving interpretive accounting issues in the ASU, contemplating various related accounting policies, finalizing processes and related controls and considering various reporting disclosures. The Company also continues to believe that the adoption of the standard will result in an overall increase in the allowance for loan losses to cover credit losses over the estimated life of the financial assets. However, the magnitude of the increase in its allowance for loan losses at the adoption date will depend upon the nature and characteristics of the portfolio at the adoption date, as well as macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time.

FASB ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 to improve the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendment removes certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also adds certain disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

HomeStar Financial Group, Inc.

On July 17, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of HomeStar, and its wholly owned subsidiary, HomeStar Bank, which operated five full-service banking centers in northern Illinois. In aggregate, the Company acquired HomeStar for consideration valued at approximately $11.4 million, which consisted of approximately $1.0 million in cash and the issuance of 404,968 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while $5.0 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition have been expensed during 2019, and remaining integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.

Management’s preliminary valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change, and the resulting allocation of the consideration paid for the allocation is reflected in the table below. Prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing the consideration paid allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the allocation, such adjustments will be included in the allocation in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of HomeStar into the Company. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s banking reporting unit. The portion of the consideration paid allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The identifiable assets acquired from HomeStar included core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, which are being amortized on an accelerated basis as shown above.

The unaudited pro-forma financial information below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 gives effect to the acquisition of HomeStar as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018, which combines the historical results of HomeStar with the Company’s consolidated statements of income, adjusted for the impact of the application of the acquisition method of accounting including loan discount accretion, intangible assets amortization, and deposit premium accretion, net of taxes. The unaudited pro-forma financial information also gives effect to the acquisition of Alpine Bancorporation, Inc. that closed on February 28, 2018 as if that transaction became effective January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro-forma financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2018. No assumptions have been applied regarding revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions. Only the acquisition-related expenses that have been incurred as of September 30, 2019 are included in net income in the table below. Acquisition-related expenses associated with HomeStar that were recognized and are included in the unaudited pro-forma net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $4.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.

For all of the above investment securities, the unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates, and unrealized losses are considered to be temporary as the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their respective maturity dates.

We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating OTTI losses, we consider the severity and duration of the impairment; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, which for debt securities considers external credit ratings and recent downgrades; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value.

At September 30, 2019, 47 investment securities available for sale had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.74% from their amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses related principally to the fluctuations in the current interest rate environment. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. The Company does not have the intent to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery in value; therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize OTTI losses on its investment securities.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale investment securities, by maturity, at September 30, 2019. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without penalties. The maturities of all other available-for-sale investment securities are based on final contractual maturity.

Credit Quality Monitoring

The Company maintains loan policies and credit underwriting standards as part of the process of managing credit risk. These standards include making loans generally within the Company’s four main regions, which include eastern, northern and southern Illinois and the St. Louis metropolitan area. Our equipment leasing business provides financing to business customers across the country.

The Company has a loan approval process involving underwriting and individual and group loan approval authorities to consider credit quality and loss exposure at loan origination. The loans in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio are risk rated at origination based on the grading system set forth below. All loan authority is based on the aggregate credit to a borrower and its related entities. All loans in the commercial loan portfolio have an assigned relationship manager, and most borrowers provide periodic financial and operating information that allows the relationship managers to stay abreast of credit quality during the life of the loans. The risk ratings of loans in the commercial loan portfolio are reassessed at least annually, with loans below an acceptable risk rating reassessed more frequently and reviewed by various individuals within the Company at least quarterly.

The Company’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of both secured and unsecured loans that are relatively small and are evaluated at origination on a centralized basis against standardized underwriting criteria. The ongoing measurement of credit quality of the consumer loan portfolio is largely done on an exception basis. If payments are made on schedule, as agreed, then no further monitoring is performed. However, if delinquency occurs, the delinquent loans are turned over to the Company’s Consumer Collections Group for resolution. Credit quality for the

entire consumer loan portfolio is measured by the periodic delinquency rate, nonaccrual amounts and actual losses incurred.

The Company maintains a centralized independent loan review function that monitors the approval process and ongoing asset quality of the loan portfolio, including the accuracy of loan grades. The Company also maintains an independent appraisal review function that participates in the review of all appraisals obtained by the Company.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses a ten grade risk rating system to monitor the ongoing credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio, which includes commercial, commercial real estate and construction and land development loans. These loan grades rank the credit quality of a borrower by measuring liquidity, debt capacity, and coverage and payment behavior as shown in the borrower’s financial statements. The risk grades also measure the quality of the borrower’s management and the repayment support offered by any guarantors.

The Company considers all loans with Risk Grades of 1 – 6 as acceptable credit risks and structures and manages such relationships accordingly. Periodic financial and operating data combined with regular loan officer interactions are deemed adequate to monitor borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 7 are considered “watch credits” and the frequency of loan officer contact and receipt of financial data is increased to stay abreast of borrower performance. Loans with Risk Grades of 8 – 10 are considered problematic and require special care. Further, loans with Risk Grades of 7 – 10 are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive and senior management of the Company, which includes highly structured reporting of financial and operating data, intensive loan officer intervention and strategies to exit, as well as potential management by the Company’s Special Assets Group. Loans not graded in the commercial loan portfolio are monitored by aging status and payment activity.

The following table presents the recorded investment of the commercial loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) by risk category as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its other loan portfolio, which includes residential real estate, consumer and lease financing loans, based primarily on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. Accordingly, loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired for purposes of credit quality evaluation. The following table presents the recorded investment of our other loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) based on the credit risk profile of loans that are performing and loans that are impaired as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings. Impaired loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 do not include $47.8 million and $43.0 million, respectively, of PCI loans. The risk of credit loss on acquired loans was recognized as part of the fair value adjustment at the acquisition date.

There was no interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 while the loans were in nonaccrual status. Additional interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was $532,000 and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $421,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized interest income on commercial and commercial real estate loans modified under troubled debt restructurings of $26,000 and $89,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $17,000 and $75,000 for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.

The difference between a loan’s recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance represents: (1) a partial charge-off resulting from a confirmed loss due to the value of the collateral securing the loan being below the loan’s principal balance and management’s assessment that the full collection of the loan balance is not likely and/or (2) payments received on nonaccrual loans that are fully applied to principal on the loan’s recorded investment as compared to being applied to principal and interest on the unpaid customer principal and interest balance. The difference between the recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance on loans was $15.0 million and $11.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans modified as TDRs for commercial and commercial real estate loans generally consist of allowing commercial borrowers to defer scheduled principal payments and make interest only payments for a specified period of time at the stated interest rate of the original loan agreement or lower payments due to a modification of the loans’

contractual terms. TDRs that continue to accrue interest and are greater than $50,000 are individually evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis, and transferred to nonaccrual status when it is probable that any remaining principal and interest payments due on the loan will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. TDRs that subsequently default are individually evaluated for impairment at the time of default. The allowance for loan losses on TDRs totaled $584,000 and $557,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company had no unfunded commitments in connection with TDRs at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company’s TDRs are identified on a case-by-case basis in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. The following table presents TDRs by loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company’s loan portfolio is principally comprised of commercial, commercial real estate, construction and land development, residential real estate and consumer loans and lease financing receivables. The principal risks to each category of loans are as follows:

Commercial – The principal risk of commercial loans is that these loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the collateral underlying the loans. Most often, this collateral consists of accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Inventory and equipment may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. If the cash flow from business

operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. As such, repayment of such loans is often more sensitive than other types of loans to adverse conditions in the general economy.

Commercial real estate – As with commercial loans, repayment of commercial real estate loans is often dependent on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the commercial venture. While commercial real estate loans are collateralized by the borrower’s underlying real estate, foreclosure on such assets may be more difficult than with other types of collateralized loans because of the possible effect the foreclosure would have on the borrower’s business, and property values may tend to be partially based upon the value of the business situated on the property.

Construction and land development – Construction and land development lending involves additional risks not generally present in other types of lending because funds are advanced upon the estimated future value of the project, which is uncertain prior to its completion and at the time the loan is made, and costs may exceed realizable values in declining real estate markets. Moreover, if the estimate of the value of the completed project proves to be overstated or market values or rental rates decline, the collateral may prove to be inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. Additional funds may also be required to complete the project, and the project may have to be held for an unspecified period of time before a disposition can occur.

Residential real estate – The principal risk to residential real estate lending is associated with residential loans not sold into the secondary market. In such cases, the value of the underlying property may have deteriorated as a result of a change in the residential real estate market, and the borrower may have little incentive to repay the loan or continue living in the property. Additionally, in areas with high vacancy rates, reselling the property without substantial loss may be difficult.

Consumer – The repayment of consumer loans is typically dependent on the borrower remaining employed through the life of the loan, as well as the possibility that the collateral underlying the loan, if applicable, may not be adequately maintained by the borrower.

Lease financing – Our financing leases are primarily for business equipment leased to varying types of businesses nationwide for the purchase of business equipment and software. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the business’s ability to repay may become impaired.

Depreciation expense of $1.8 million and $4.9 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the comparable periods in 2018, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company committed to a branch network consolidation plan. The Company plans to close one facility and consolidate two additional facilities as a result of the acquisition of HomeStar, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company also plans to consolidate three other existing facilities in other areas of its footprint. Consequently, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $3.1 million of asset impairment on banking facilities to be closed, which was recognized in other expense in the consolidated statements of income.

LEASES

Note 7 – Leases

The Company determines if a lease is present at the inception of an agreement. Operating leases are capitalized at commencement and are discounted using the Company’s FHLB borrowing rate for a similar term borrowing unless the lease defines an implicit rate within the contract. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.

The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. No significant judgments or assumptions were involved in developing the estimated operating lease liabilities as the Company’s operating lease liabilities largely represent future rental expenses associated with operating leases and the borrowing rates are based on publicly available interest rates.

The Company has operating leases for banking centers and operating facilities. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 2 months to 13 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease terms for up to an additional 5 years. The options to extend are included if they are reasonably certain to be exercised.

As of September 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets totaled $14.8 million and operating lease liabilities totaled $16.4 million.

Information related to operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was as follows:

Commercial FHA and Residential Mortgage Loan Servicing

The Company serviced commercial FHA mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $4.02 billion and $3.98 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Changes in our commercial FHA loan servicing rights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows:

The following table is a summary of key assumptions, representing both general economic and other published information and the weighted average characteristics of the commercial portfolio, used in the valuation of servicing rights at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Assumptions used in the prepayment rate consider many factors as appropriate, including lockouts, balloons, prepayment penalties, interest rate ranges, delinquencies and geographic location. The discount rate is based on an average pre-tax internal rate of return utilized by market participants in pricing the servicing portfolio. Significant increases or decreases in any one of these assumptions would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.


					Remaining
	Servicing		Interest		Years to	Prepayment		Servicing		Discount

September 30, 2019:
Commercial FHA mortgage loans	0.12	%	3.69	%	29.8	8.20	%	$	1,000	10 - 14	%

December 31, 2018:
Commercial FHA mortgage loans	0.13	%	3.67	%	30.1	8.24	%	$	1,000	10 - 14	%

We recognize revenue from servicing commercial FHA and residential mortgages as earned based on the specific contractual terms. This revenue, along with amortization of and changes in impairment of servicing rights, is reported in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income. Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. The fair value of loan servicing rights and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured residential and commercial mortgages and conventional residential mortgages. The fair value of our servicing rights is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, cost to service, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees, replacement reserves and other economic factors that are determined based on current market conditions.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company serviced residential mortgage loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $401.6 million and $897.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold mortgage servicing rights held for sale of $3.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively. There were no sales of mortgage servicing rights held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. At September 30, 2019, total residential mortgage servicing rights of $1.9 million are reflected in mortgage servicing rights held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.

United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Loan Servicing

As a result of the acquisition of HomeStar, as further discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired SBA loan servicing rights. At September 30, 2019, the Company serviced SBA loans for others with unpaid principal balances of $48.1 million. At September 30, 2019, SBA loan servicing rights of $1.2 million are reflected in loan servicing rights in the consolidated balance sheet. We recognize revenue from servicing SBA loans as earned based on the specific contract terms. This revenue, along with amortization of and changes in impairment of servicing rights, is reported in other income in the consolidated statements of income.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Note 10 – Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s overall management of interest rate sensitivity, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility, including interest rate lock commitments, forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities and interest rate swap contracts.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments / Forward Commitments to Sell Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Company issues interest rate lock commitments on originated fixed-rate commercial and residential real estate loans to be sold. The interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale are hedged with forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward contracts to sell mortgage-backed securities are included in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in

the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities held by the Company, their notional amount and estimated fair values at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized net gains of $513,000 and net losses of $188,000, respectively, on derivative instruments in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized net gains of $1.2 million and net losses of $941,000, respectively, on derivative instruments in commercial FHA revenue and residential mortgage banking revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts sold to commercial customers who wish to modify their interest rate sensitivity. The swaps are offset by contracts simultaneously purchased by the Company from other financial dealer institutions with mirror-image terms. Because of the mirror-image terms of the offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in the fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The notional amounts of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $9.1 million and $9.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments was $454,000 and $145,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction, which represents the amount of the Bank’s obligation. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Investment securities with a carrying amount of $137.4 million and $132.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

The Company had available lines of credit of $34.3 million and $56.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The lines are collateralized by a collateral agreement with respect to a pool of commercial real estate loans totaling $41.6 million and $67.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are calculated utilizing the two-class method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards. The diluted earnings per share computation for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excluded antidilutive stock options of 91,943 and for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 3018 excluded antidilutive stock options of 662 because the exercise prices of these stock options exceeded the average market prices of

the Company’s common shares for those respective periods. Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Note 17 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

●

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

●

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value, including financial assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option, on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are summarized below:

Loan Servicing Rights. In accordance with GAAP, the Company must record impairment charges on loan servicing rights on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The fair value of our servicing rights is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model, which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, replacement reserves and other economic factors which are estimated based on current market conditions. The determination of fair value of servicing rights relies upon Level 3 inputs. The fair value of loan servicing rights was $54.1 million and $53.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Impaired loans. Impaired loans are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. All of our nonaccrual loans and restructured loans are considered impaired and are reviewed individually for the amount of impairment, if any. Most of our loans are collateral dependent and, accordingly, we measure impaired loans based on the estimated fair value of such collateral. The fair value of each loan’s collateral is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidating such collateral; such valuation inputs result in a nonrecurring fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement. When adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The impaired loans categorized as Level 3 also include unsecured loans and other secured loans whose fair values are based significantly on unobservable inputs such as the strength of a guarantor, cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, and management’s judgment.

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate such fair values. Additionally, certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the applicable disclosure requirements.

The Company has elected the fair value option for newly originated commercial and residential loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and are hedged with derivative instruments. We have elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplification.

The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate remaining principal balance for loans for which the fair value option has been elected as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK

Note 18 – Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank used the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The commitments are principally tied to variable rates. Loan commitments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018
Commitments to extend credit	$	714,188	$	663,555
Financial guarantees – standby letters of credit		109,752		142,859

The Company establishes a mortgage repurchase liability to reflect management’s estimate of losses on loans for which the Company could have a repurchase obligation based on the volume of loans sold in 2019 and years prior, borrower default expectations, historical investor repurchase demand and appeals success rates, and estimated loss severity. Loans repurchased from investors are initially recorded at fair value, which becomes the Company’s new accounting basis. Any difference between the loan’s fair value and the outstanding principal amount is charged or credited to the mortgage repurchase liability, as appropriate. Subsequent to repurchase, such loans are carried in loans receivable. As a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases, the Company incurred losses totaling $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no losses as a result of make-whole requests and loan repurchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The liability for unresolved repurchase demands totaled $289,000 and $492,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investment securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as commercial FHA revenue, residential mortgage banking revenue and gain on sales of investment securities, net are also not in scope of Topic 606. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest income streams such as wealth management revenue, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange revenue, gain on sales of other real estate owned, and certain other noninterest income streams. The noninterest income streams considered in-scope by Topic 606 are discussed below.

Wealth Management Revenue

Wealth management revenue is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company also earns investment advisory fees through its SEC registered investment advisory subsidiary. The Company’s performance obligation in both of these instances is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and contractually determined fee schedules. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to each customer’s account. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered. Fees generated from transactions executed by the Company’s third party broker dealer are remitted by them to the Company on a monthly basis for that month’s transactional activity.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees received under depository agreements with customers to provide access to deposited funds, serve as custodian of deposited funds, and when applicable, pay interest on deposits. These service charges primarily include non-sufficient fund fees and other account related service charges. Non-sufficient fund fees are earned when a depositor presents an item for payment in excess of available funds, and the Company, at its discretion, provides the necessary funds to complete the transaction. The Company generates other account related service charge revenue by providing depositors proper safeguard and remittance of funds as well as by delivering optional services for depositors, such as check imaging or treasury management, that are performed upon the depositor’s request. The Company’s performance obligation for the proper safeguard and remittance of funds, monthly account analysis and any other monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is typically received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to a customer’s account.

Interchange Revenue

Interchange revenue includes debit / credit card income and ATM user fees. Card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned for standing ready to authorize and providing settlement on card transactions processed through the MasterCard interchange network. The levels and structure of interchange rates are set by MasterCard and can vary based on cardholder purchase volumes. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with completion of the Company’s performance obligation, the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder withdraws funds from a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder withdraws funds from a Company ATM. The Company satisfies its performance obligation for each transaction at the point in time when the ATM withdrawal is processed.

Gain on Sales of Other Real Estate Owned

The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned (“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 a 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 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 or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.

Other Noninterest Income

The other noninterest income revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 consist of merchant services revenue, safe deposit box rentals, wire transfer fees, paper statement fees, check printing commissions, and other noninterest related fees. Revenue from the Company’s merchant services business consists principally of transaction and account management fees charged to merchants for the electronic processing of transactions. These fees are net of interchange fees paid to the credit card issuing bank, card company assessments, and revenue sharing amounts. Account management fees are considered earned at the time the merchant’s transactions are processed or other services are performed. Fees related to the other components of other noninterest income within the scope of Topic 606 are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at the point in time the customer uses the selected service to execute a transaction.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2019
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. A discussion of these policies can be found in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been one change to our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2018, which is described below. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein, have been included. Certain reclassifications of 2018 amounts have been made to conform to the 2019 presentation. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2019 and Issued But Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2019 FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements.” The new standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Under the new guidance, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of income. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, and used the effective date as its date of initial application. A modified retrospective adoption approach is required, applying the new standard to all existing leases in effect at the adoption date and new leases going forward. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to January 1, 2019. This update also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” permitted by ASU 2018-11, which allows us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its office equipment leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. At the adoption date, the Company reported increased assets and liabilities of approximately $12.1 million on its consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities related to non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated statement of income. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”).” The objective of this update is to improve financial reporting by providing timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will use forward-looking information to better understand their credit loss estimates. For public companies that are filers with the SEC and not smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As previously disclosed, the Company has established a cross-functional governance structure, which oversees overall strategy for implementation of Topic 326. Additionally, a working group was formed and has developed a project plan focused on understanding the ASU, researching issues, data requirements, technology solutions and future state processes. The Company engaged a third party to carry out model validation during the third quarter of 2019. The model validation is in its final stages of review and will be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2019. The existing allowance for loan loss model is running parallel to the CECL model prior to final implementation in the first quarter of 2020. The working group has identified 12 distinct loan classes for which a model has been developed and internally validated. The Company continues to focus on researching and resolving interpretive accounting issues in the ASU, contemplating various related accounting policies, finalizing processes and related controls and considering various reporting disclosures. The Company also continues to believe that the adoption of the standard will result in an overall increase in the allowance for loan losses to cover credit losses over the estimated life of the financial assets. However, the magnitude of the increase in its allowance for loan losses at the adoption date will depend upon the nature and characteristics of the portfolio at the adoption date, as well as macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time. FASB ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 to improve the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendment removes certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also adds certain disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.
