NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

(Dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of SBT Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) for the periods presented. The Company’s only business is its investment in The Simsbury Bank & Trust Company, Inc. (the “Bank”), which is a community-oriented financial institution providing a variety of banking and investment services. The Bank offers investment products to cutomers through SBT Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and through its affiliation with the securities broker/dealer, LPL Financial Corporation. In May of 2010, the Bank formed NERE Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary to hold real estate primarily acquired through foreclosure. In January of 2011, the Bank formed Simsbury Bank Passive Investment Company, a subsidiary Passive Investment Company (PIC). Under current State of Connecticut statutes, Simsbury Bank Passive Investment Company is not subject to Connecticut corporation business taxes. In preparing the interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the valuation and potential other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of available-for-sale securities.

While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate so as to not make the information misleading, it is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At March 31, 2017, the Company maintained a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company recognizes the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions in the consolidated financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized $37 thousand in stock-based employee compensation expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized $39 thousand in stock-based employee compensation expense.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015 in relation to its debt issuance costs.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to present separately in other comprehensive income that portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. It also requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. The ASU will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has no equity investments at the report date, therefore management beleives there will be no material impact to the financial statements upon adoption.

- 10 -

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new guidance will be effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting.” The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) income tax consequences; (2) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (3) classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. There was no significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial instruments. The main provisions of ASU 2016-13 include (1) replacing the “incurred loss” approach under current GAAP with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost; (2) requiring entities to record an allowance for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reducing the carrying amount of the investments, as is required by the other-than-temporary-impairment model under current GAAP; and (3) a simplified accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." Current GAAP is unclear or does not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice on how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Entities will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, ASU No. 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 to determine the potential impact that the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement - Overall,” provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. This guidance also allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

- 11 -

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, which are not based on market exchange or dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company did not have any significant transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value for March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company’s investments in obligations of states and municipalities, mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, management obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions; valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability; and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence, such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.

The Company’s impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For Level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.

Other real estate owned values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For Level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.

NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

The securities in the Company’s investment portfolio that were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2017 consisted of debt securities issued by states of the United States, political subdivisions of the states, and U.S. government corporations and agencies as well as mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s management anticipates that the fair value of securities that are currently impaired will recover to cost basis. The gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. As the Company has the ability and intent to hold securities for the foreseeable future, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary, unless otherwise noted above.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were proceeds of $565 thousand from sales of available-for-sale securities. Gross realized gains on these sales amounted to $47 thousand. The tax expense applicable to these gross realized gains amounted to $16 thousand.

Deferred costs, net		1,410			1,442
Net loans	$	403,211		$	405,411

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability 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 collectability 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, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

General component:

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction and land development, home equity, commercial and consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate and home equity: The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent without obtaining private mortgage insurance for any amounts over 80% and does not grant subprime loans. Substantially all loans in these segments are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Commercial real estate: Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout the Farmington Valley and surrounding communities in Connecticut. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which, in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management periodically obtains rent rolls and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

- 18 -

Construction and land development loans: Loans in this segment primarily include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from the sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial loans: Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by the assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Consumer loans: Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Allocated component:

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.

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.

The Company may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.

Unallocated component:

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

Credit Quality Indicators: As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators, including trends related to (i) weighted average risk rating of commercial loans; (ii) the level of classified and criticized commercial loans; (iii) non-performing loans; (iv) net charge-offs; and (v) the general economic conditions within the State of Connecticut.

The Company utilizes a risk rating grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. A “Pass” is defined as risk rating 1 through 3.75. A description of each rating class is as follows:

- 21 -

Risk Rating 1 (Superior) - This risk rating is assigned to loans secured by cash.

Risk Rating 2 (Good) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers of high credit quality who have primary and secondary sources of repayment that are well-defined and fully confirmed.

Risk Rating 3 (Satisfactory) - This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who are fully responsible for the loan or credit commitment, which has primary and secondary sources of repayment that are well-defined and adequately confirmed. Most credit factors are favorable, and the credit exposure is managed through normal monitoring.

Risk Rating 3.5 (Bankable with Care) - This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who are fully responsible for the loan or credit commitment and the secondary sources of repayment are weak. These loans may require more than the average amount of attention from the relationship manager.

Risk Rating 3.75 (Technically Deficient) - Loans in this category have all of the attributes in risk ratings 1, 2, 3, or 3.5. However, the borrower is technically in default due to the lack of current financial statements and/or other required financial information.

Risk Rating 4 (Special Mention) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers whose loan or credit commitment may be adequately protected by the present debt service capacity and tangible net worth of the borrower, but which have potential problems that could, if not checked or corrected, eventually weaken these assets or otherwise jeopardize the repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Most credit factors are unfavorable, and the credit exposure requires immediate corrective action.

Risk Rating 5 (Substandard - Accrual) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who may not have adequate cash flow or collateral to satisfy their loan obligations as originally defined in their loan agreement. Substandard loans may be placed on nonaccrual status if the conditions described above are generally met.

Risk Rating 5.5 (Substandard - Non-Accrual) - Loans in this category have all the characteristics of risk rating 5 (Substandard – Accrual), but the loan is past due over 90 days. This category includes non-accrual loans and loans where the Bank has initiated action to foreclose on any pledged or available collateral or where such foreclosure is imminent.

Risk Rating 6 (Doubtful) – This risk rating is assigned to a borrower or a portion of a borrower’s loan with which the Company is no longer certain of its collectability. A specific reserve allocation is assigned to this portion of the loan.

Risk Rating 7 (Loss) – This risk rating is assigned to loans that have been charged off or the portion of the loan that has been charged off. “Loss” does not imply that the loan, or a portion of the loan, will never be repaid nor does it imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Loans not formally rated include residential, home equity and consumer loans. As of March 31, 2017, $222.1 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $223.6 million was not formally rated. As of December 31, 2016, $227.7 million of the total residential, home equity and consumer loan portfolio of $229.9 million was not formally rated. The performance of these loans is measured by delinquency status. The Bank underwrites first mortgage loans in accordance with FHLMC and FNMA guidelines. These guidelines provide for specific requirements with regard to documentation, loan to value and debt to income ratios. Guidelines for home equity loans and lines place a maximum loan to value of 80% on these loans and lines and the Bank requires full underwriting disclosure documentation for these loans. Total non-accrual and delinquent loans as of March 31, 2017 were 0.99% of total loans outstanding compared to 1.07% of total loans outstanding on December 31, 2016. The Company’s allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017 was 0.95% of total loans compared to 0.92% of total loans as of December 31, 2016.

The Bank’s TDRs are determined by management. TDRs may include all accrued interest, late charges, title and recording fees, and attorneys’ fees being added back to the pre-modification balance. In addition, rates and terms of the loans may have changed. There were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, there was one foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Company. There were four consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction at March 31, 2017. The aggregate balance of the four loans in the process of foreclosure is approximately $879 thousand at March 31, 2017.

There was one loan modified as a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2016. The loan, with a principal balance of $179 thousand, was extended to reduce the risk of the borrower defaulting on outstanding loans held by the borrower’s business interests. The loan was deemed uncollectible and charged off prior to December 31, 2016.

The balance of mortgage servicing rights (net) included in other assets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2.0 million. Mortgage servicing rights of $141 thousand and $163 thousand were capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights was $207 thousand and $166 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value of these rights was $2.5 million and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company includes capitalized mortgage servicing rights in gains on sales of mortgages, net on the consolidated statements of income. The total recognized gains on sales of mortgages, net (net of costs, including direct and indirect origination costs), were $223 thousand and $207 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The significant amounts included in mortgage loan servicing activities, net on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $192 thousand of servicing fee income, amortization of mortgage servicing rights of ($207) thousand, and a decrease in the valuation allowance of $33 thousand.

The significant amounts included in mortgage loan servicing activities, net on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $146 thousand of servicing fee income, amortization of mortgage servicing rights of ($166) thousand, and an increase in the valuation allowance of ($193) thousand

The following is an analysis of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31:

NOTE 8 – SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase consist of funds borrowed from customers on a short-term basis secured by portions of the Company's investment portfolio. The securities that were sold have been accounted for not as sales but as borrowings. The securities consisted of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government sponsored enterprises, corporations and agencies as well as states and municipalities. The securities were held in safekeeping by Morgan Stanley, under the control of the Company. The purchasers have agreed to sell to the Company substantially identical securities at the maturity of the agreements. The agreements generally mature within three months from date of issue.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to the Company’s anticipated future financial performance, projected growth, and management’s long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition from developments or events and the Company’s business and growth strategies.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, and could be affected by many factors. The following list, which is not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, summarizes several factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected in these forward-looking statements:

● economic conditions (both generally and in the Company’s markets) may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality, a reduction in demand for credit and/or a decline in real estate values;

● a general decline in the real estate and lending markets may negatively affect the Company’s financial results;

● inaccuracies in management’s assumptions used in calculating the appropriate amount to be placed into the Company’s allowance for loan losses;

● In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") released a new standard on determining the amount of allowance for credit losses which will become effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The new credit loss model will be a significant change from the standard in place today, as it requires the allowance for credit losses to be calculated based on current expected credit loss (commonly referred to as the "CECL model") rather than losses inherent in the portfolio as of a point in time. This new standard may have a material impact on the Company's allowance for loan losses and total retained earnings in the period of adoption.

● restrictions or conditions imposed by regulators on the Company’s operations may make it more difficult for the Company to achieve its goals;

● legislative and regulatory changes (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations) subject the Company to additional regulatory oversight, which may result in increased compliance costs and/or require the Company to change its business model;

● changes in accounting standards and compliance requirements may adversely affect the businesses in which the Company is engaged;

● competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly;

● changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins or the volumes or values of the loans the Company makes;

● competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable those competitors to compete more successfully than the Company can;

● the Company’s ability to attract and retain key personnel can be affected by the increased competition for experienced employees in the banking industry;

● adverse changes may occur in the equity markets;

● war or terrorist activities may cause deterioration in the economy or cause instability in credit markets; and

● economic, governmental or other factors may prevent the projected population and residential and commercial growth in the markets in which the Company operates.

- 27 -

As a result of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

General

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a better understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2017. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 not misleading have been made.

The Company’s only business is its investment in The Simsbury Bank & Trust Company, Inc. (the “Bank”), which is a community-oriented financial institution that provides a variety of banking and investment services. The Bank offers a full range of banking services, including commercial loans, real estate term loans, construction loans, Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans and a variety of consumer loans; checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit; and safe deposit and other customary non-deposit banking services to consumers and businesses in north central Connecticut. Through a network of loan originators, the Bank also offers 1-4 family residential mortgages throughout southern New England.

The Bank’s main office and its corporate offices are located in the town of Simsbury, Connecticut. The Bank has branch offices in the towns of Granby, Avon, Bloomfield, and West Hartford, Connecticut. The full service West Hartford branch was opened in April of 2016 after the bank received regulatory approval from the Connecticut Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") in 2015 to open this branch. The Bank also maintains a mortgage center in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Services to the Bank’s customers are also provided through SBT Online Internet banking. The Bank’s customer base consists primarily of individual customers and small businesses in north central Connecticut. The Bank has in excess of 21,000 deposit accounts.

The Bank offers investment products and services to customers through SBT Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, which has an affiliation with the securities broker/dealer, LPL Financial LLC.

Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. One of these significant policies relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. See the heading “Provision for Loan Losses” below for further details about the Bank’s current provision.

Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net income amounted to $502 thousand, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $206 thousand, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Total assets as of March 31, 2017 were $506 million compared to $510 million as of December 31, 2016.

Key financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 include total asset growth since March 31, 2016 of $55.2 million or 12.3%, and net loan growth of $59.5 million or 17.3% over the last 12 months. Deposits increased in the same 12 month period by $43.8 million primarily due to a $24.3 million increase in savings and NOW accounts, a $12.4 million increase in time deposits, and an increase in demand deposits of $7.1 million. When compared to December 31, 2016, net loans declined $2.2 million or 0.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. When compared to December 31, 2016, deposits increased $13.3 million, or 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

For the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37, an increase of $0.22 per share compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the first quarter of 2016. Non-accrual loans decreased to $3.5 million as of March 31, 2017, which was 0.87% of total loans as of such date, from $3.8 million, or 1.1% of total loans, a year ago. Total non-accrual and delinquent loans decreased to 0.99% of total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2017 from 1.8% of total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2016. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.95% of total loans at March 31, 2017.

- 28 -

Total deposits as of March 31, 2017 were $427 million, an increase of $44 million, or 11.4%, from total deposits of $383 million a year ago. At March 31, 2017, 30% of total deposits were in non-interest bearing demand accounts, 54% were in low-cost savings and NOW accounts, and 16% were in time deposits. At March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately 21,651 deposit accounts compared to 20,819 deposit accounts at March 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2017, total gross loans were $407 million compared to $345 million a year ago. Commercial loans grew by $41.0 million, or 29.7%, residential mortgage loans increased by $5.9 million, or 4.3%, and consumer loans grew by $9.5 million,or 44.1%, primarily due to the purchase of two pools of refinanced student loans in the second and third quarters of 2016.

Total revenues, consisting of net interest and dividend income plus noninterest income, were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $3.6 million a year ago due to an increase in interest income on loans of $583 thousand and an increase in revenue from mortgage loan servicing activities of $232 thousand, which were partially offset by an increase in deposit interest expense of $106 thousand.

The Company’s year-to-date 2017 taxable-equivalent net interest margin (taxable-equivalent net interest and dividend income divided by average earning assets) was 2.99% for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 3.06% for the comparable 2016 period. The Company’s yield on earning assets increased 4 basis points to 3.38% while the cost of funds increased 14 basis points to 0.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The increase in cost of funds is primarily related to interest on savings and time deposits and the subordinated debt issued by the Company in 2015.

Total noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $3.3 million, which was an increase of $15 thousand from the corresponding 2016 period primarily due to increases of $116 thousand in professional fees and a $49 thousand increase in FDIC assessment. These increases were partially offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $137 thousand and a decrease in other expenses of $29 thousand.

Capital levels for the Bank on March 31, 2017 were above those required to meet the regulatory “well-capitalized” designation.

	Capital Ratios
	March 31, 2017
	The Simsbury Bank
	and Trust Company, Inc.	Regulatory Standard for Well-Capitalized
Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio	7.38%	5.00%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio	10.85%	8.00%
Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio	10.85%	6.50%
Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio	11.96%	10.00%

At March 31, 2017, the capital ratios of the Bank exceeded the minimum Basel III capital requirements. Management believes that the Bank’s capital levels will remain characterized as “well-capitalized.” It is management’s goal to monitor and maintain adequate capital levels to continue to support asset growth and the expansion of the Bank and to continue its status as a well- capitalized institution. The Bank’s capital requirements are fully described in the “Capital Requirements” section under the heading “Financial Condition” in this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The Company’s earnings depend largely upon the difference between the income received from its loan portfolio and investment securities and the interest paid on its liabilities, including interest paid on deposits and borrowings. This difference is “net interest income.” The net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the net yield on interest-earning assets. The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in the level and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. The Company’s net yield on interest-earning assets is also affected by changes in yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on the Company’s loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. These factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB").

- 29 -

On a tax equivalent basis, net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses plus noninterest income was $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company’s net interest margin, defined as the ratio of taxable equivalent net interest and dividend income to interest-earning assets or net yield on earning assets, decreased to 2.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 3.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company’s net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on earning assets and the cost of deposits and borrowings, decreased to 2.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 2.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company’s cost of deposits and borrowings increased to 0.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 0.41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of non-performing loans, regulatory policies, GAAP, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of loans in the Company’s portfolio.

The Company recorded a $250 thousand provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $131 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $119 thousand. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was mainly driven by the charge-off of a residential loan relationship and the addition of a specific reserve of $84 thousand on a commercial loan, deemed impaired.

Each month, the Company reviews the allowance for loan losses and makes additional provisions to the allowance, as determined by the Company’s guidelines. The total allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017 was $3.9 million or 0.95% of outstanding loans compared to $3.8 million or 0.92% of outstanding loans as of December 31, 2016. The Company recorded a partial charge-off of one loan in the amount of $135 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 and did not charge off any loans in the first quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company had five recoveries totaling $2 thousand compared to four recoveries totaling $1 thousand for the first quarter of 2016. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest income (which is derived mainly from service and overdraft charges and mortgage banking activities) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $634 thousand compared to $459 thousand for the same period in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in mortgage loan servicing activities, net, in the amount of $232 thousand, primarily driven by a $185 thousand impairnment charge on the mortgage servicing asset in the three months ended March 31, 2016 that negatively impacted noninterest income last year and increased fees on loan servicing. The increase was partially offset by a $48 thousand decrease in gain on available-for-sale securities and a $44 thousand decrease in other service charges and fees.

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was unchanged at $3.3 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The ratio of annualized operating expenses to average assets was 2.6% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 3.0% for the first quarter of 2016. Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $137 thousand when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily driven by lower incentive compensation and lower full time equivalent employees. Professional fees increased $116 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily driven by consulting expenses related to corporate initiatives. FDIC assessment increased $49 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily dirven by higher loan balances and a change in the assessment formula adopted by the FDIC in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits comprised approximately 51% of total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 55% of total noninterest expense for the same period in the prior year. Other major categories included occupancy expenses, which comprised approximately 11% of noninterest expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and data processing fees, which comprised 6.9% of noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 6.4% of noninterest expenses for the same period in 2016. Advertising and promotions and equipment expenses each remained relatively constant in the 3% to 3.5% range for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. 

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 17.4% and (3.51%), respectively. The Company realized a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2016 as its core earnings were lower in relation to tax exempt income, thereby creating a tax benefit. Due to the creation on January 1, 2011 of a Passive Investment Company (“PIC”) under Connecticut tax legislation for the purpose of holding certain mortgage loans, the Company no longer incurs state income tax liability, except for the minimum tax, since the PIC’s earnings, net of certain allocated expenses, are exempt from Connecticut state income tax as long as the PIC meets certain ongoing qualifications.

Financial Condition

Investment Portfolio

The fair value of investments in available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2017 was $59.7 million, which was 1.0% below amortized cost, compared to $58.7 million, which was 1.4% below amortized cost, as of December 31, 2016. The Company has the intent and ability to hold debt securities until maturity or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale.

Management periodically reviews all investment securities with significant declines in fair value for potential other-than-temporary impairment pursuant to the guidance in ASC 320-10, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320-10 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. Management evaluates the Company’s investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2017, there were $143 thousand in investment securities in the investment portfolio that management determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

In order to maintain a reserve of readily sellable assets to meet the Company’s liquidity and loan requirements, the Company purchases debt securities and other investments. Sales of “federal funds” (short-term loans to other banks) are regularly utilized. Placement of funds in certificates of deposit with other financial institutions may be made as alternative investments pending utilization of funds for loans or other purposes.

Securities may be pledged to meet regulatory requirements imposed as a condition to receipt of deposits of public funds and repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2017, the Company had 44 securities with a carrying value totaling $14.5 million that were pledged for such purposes. At December 31, 2016, the Company had 33 securities with a carrying value totaling $13.6 million that were pledged for such purposes.

- 32 -

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of U.S. government and agency securities, state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities and one SBA loan pool. The Company’s policy is to stagger the maturities of its investment securities to meet overall liquidity requirements of the Company.

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s loan portfolio as of the end of the first quarter of 2017 was comprised of approximately 56% mortgage and consumer loans and 44% commercial loans. The Company does not have any concentrations in its loan portfolio by industry or group of industries.

There were approximately $147.2 million of gross residential mortgage loans as of March 31, 2017 compared to $146.1 million at December 31, 2016. The Company sold sixty-nine (69) loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 with an aggregate principal balance of $16.5 million, which resulted in an aggregate gain on sales of these loans of $223 thousand. The Company is an approved originator of loans that can be sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

At March 31, 2017, the Company had consumer and home equity loan balances of approximately $379.5 million, representing a 5.1% decrease from the consumer and home equity loan balances at December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $15.3 million in consumer auto loans purchased from BCI Financial Corp. (“BCI”) on its books compared to approximately $17.9 million in auto loans purchased from BCI on its books as of December 31, 2016. The Company has an agreement with BCI pursuant to which the Company purchases auto loans from BCI. As part of the agreement, BCI services the loans for the Company. The Company had approximately $14.2 million in purchased student loans on its books as of March 31, 2017 compared to $16.1 million on its books as of December 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2017, commercial and industrial loans totaled $66.6 million compared to $69.3 million at December 31, 2016. The Company’s commercial and industrial loans are made to borrowers for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, or financing other business purposes. Such loans include loans with maturities ranging from thirty days to one year and “term loans,” which are loans with maturities normally ranging from one year to twenty-five years. Short-term business loans are generally intended to finance current transactions and typically provide for periodic principal payments, with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally provide for fixed or floating interest rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.

The March 31, 2017 gross balance for municipal and commercial real estate loans, including construction loans, was $107.2 million, a 2.8% increase from the gross loan balance for municipal and commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2016. The Company’s construction loans are primarily interim loans made by the Company to finance the construction of commercial and single-family residential property. These loans are typically short-term. The Company generally pre-qualifies construction loan borrowers for permanent “take-out” financing as a condition to making the construction loan. The Company will also occasionally make loans for speculative housing construction or for acquisition and development of raw land.

The Company’s other real estate loans consist primarily of loans originated based on the borrower’s cash flow and which are secured by deeds of trust on commercial and residential property to provide another source of repayment in the event of default. It is the Company’s policy to restrict real estate loans without credit enhancement to no more than 80% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property, depending on the type of property and its utilization.

The Company offers both fixed and floating interest rate loans. Maturities on such loans typically range from five to thirty years. The Company has been designated as an approved SBA lender. The Company’s SBA loans are categorized as commercial or real estate, depending on the underlying collateral. In addition, the Company has been approved as an originator of loans that can be sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

The Bank is subject to certain lending limits. With certain exceptions, the Bank is permitted under applicable law to make related extensions of credit to any single borrowing entity of up to 15% of the Bank’s capital and reserves. Credit equaling an additional 10% of the Bank’s capital and reserves may be extended if the credit is fully secured by limited types of qualified collateral. As of March 31, 2017, the Bank’s lending limits were $6.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, these lending limits were $6.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The Bank sells participations in its loans when necessary to stay within its lending limits.

Interest on performing loans is accrued and taken into income daily. Loans over 90 days past due are deemed non-performing and are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual loans is credited to income only upon receipt and, in certain circumstances, may be applied to principal until the loan has been repaid in full, at which time the interest received is credited to income. The Company had 20 non-accrual loans at March 31, 2017 with an aggregate balance of $3.5 million compared to 17 non-accrual loans at December 31, 2016 with an aggregate balance of $4.1 million.

- 33 -

When appropriate or necessary to protect the Company’s interests, real estate pledged as collateral on a loan may be taken by the Company through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Real estate property acquired in this manner by the Company is known as “other real estate owned” (“OREO”) and is carried on the books of the Company as an asset at the fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Company had one OREO property at March 31, 2017 totaling $570 thousand. The Company charged off approximately $134 thousand against the allowance for loan losses to record the OREO at fair value less estimated costs to sell.

A loan whose terms have been modified due to financial difficulties of a borrower is reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are placed on non-accrual status until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once borrowers have demonstrated performance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a minimum of six months.

Non-payment of loans is an inherent risk in the banking business. That risk varies with the type and purpose of the loan, the collateral which is utilized to secure payment and, ultimately, the creditworthiness of the borrower. In order to minimize this credit risk, the Company requires that all loans be approved by at least two officers, one of whom must be an executive officer. Commercial loans greater than $500 thousand, as well as other loans in certain circumstances, must be approved by the Loan Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company has an internal review process to verify credit quality and risk classifications. In addition, the Company maintains a program of annual review of certain new and renewed loans by an outside loan review consultant. Loans are graded from “pass” to “loss” depending on credit quality, with “pass” representing loans that are fully satisfactory as additions to the Company’s portfolio. These are loans which involve a degree of risk that is not unwarranted given the favorable aspects of the credit and which exhibit both primary and secondary sources of repayment. Classified loans identified in the review process are added to the Company’s internal watch list and an allowance for credit losses is established for such loans, if appropriate. Additionally, the Bank is examined regularly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Connecticut Department of Banking, at which times a further review of loans is conducted.

The Company had criticized and classified loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $11.2 million as of March 31, 2017, compared to $12.6 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company had no exposure to sub-prime loans in its loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.95% of outstanding loans as of March 31, 2017.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio. Additions to the allowance are made by charges to operating expenses in the form of a provision for loan losses. All loans that are judged to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, while all recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management conducts a critical evaluation of the loan portfolio monthly. This evaluation includes an assessment of the following factors: the results of the Company’s internal loan review, any external loan review and any regulatory examination, loan loss experience, estimated potential loss exposure on each credit, concentrations of credit, value of collateral, any known impairment in the borrower’s ability to repay, qualitative risk factors, and present and prospective economic conditions.

Deposits

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. At March 31, 2017, the Company had a deposit mix of 42.9% checking, 41.3% savings and 15.8% certificates of deposit. The Company’s net interest income is enhanced by its percentage of non-interest-bearing deposits. As of December 31, 2016, the deposit mix was 45.0% checking, 38.9% savings, and 16.1% certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2017, 31% of the total deposits of $427 million were non-interest-bearing compared to 32% of the Company’s total deposits of $414 million that were non-interest-bearing at December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $55.0 million and $43.2 million, respectively, in municipal deposits.

The Company’s deposits are obtained from a cross-section of the communities it serves. No material portion of the Company’s deposits has been obtained from or is dependent upon any one person or industry. The Company’s business is not seasonal in nature. The Company accepts deposits in excess of $250 thousand from customers. Those deposits are priced to remain competitive. Through the Promontory Interfinancial Network LLC’s Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program, the Bank had brokered deposits of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2017 which was unchanged from December 31, 2016.

- 34 -

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $36.3 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") on its balance sheet compared to $54.1 million in outstanding borrowings from the FHLBB as of December 31, 2016.

The Company is not dependent upon funds from sources outside the United States and has not made any loans to a foreign entity.

On September 30, 2015 the Company entered into a Subordinated Loan Agreement with Community Funding CLO, Ltd. pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured subordinated term note in the aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million due October 1, 2025 to Community Funding CLO, Ltd. The closing date of the issuance of the subordinated note occurred on October 15th, 2015. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $7.2 million from the issuance of the subordinated note.

Liquidity and Asset-Liability Management

Liquidity management for banks requires that funds always be available to pay any anticipated deposit withdrawals and maturing financial obligations promptly and fully in accordance with their terms. The balance of the funds required is generally provided by payments on loans, sale of loans, liquidation of assets, borrowings, and the acquisition of additional deposit liabilities. One method the Bank utilizes for acquiring additional liabilities is through the acceptance of “brokered deposits” (defined to include not only deposits received through deposit brokers but also deposits bearing interest in excess of 75 basis points over market rates), typically attracting large certificates of deposit at high interest rates. The Company is a member of Promontory Interfinancial Network LLC’s Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”). This allows the Company to offer its customers FDIC insurance on deposits in excess of $250 thousand, which reflects the deposit insurance limits currently in effect, by placing the deposits in the CDARS network. Accounts placed in this manner are considered brokered deposits. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $1.5 million of deposits in the CDARS network.

Liquidity of a financial institution, such as a bank, is measured based on its ability to have liquid assets sufficient to meet its short-term obligations. The net sum of liquid assets less anticipated current obligations represents the basic liquidity surplus of the Company. The Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale securities to meet its obligations for anticipated depositors’ demands in the near future. As of March 31, 2017, the Company held $13.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit, net of required FRB reserves of $8.6 million, and $40.2 million in available-for-sale securities, net of pledged investments of $19.5 million, for total liquid assets of $53.5 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit, net of required FRB reserves of $6.9 million, and $45.4 million in available-for-sale securities, net of pledged investments of $13.3 million, for total liquid assets of $60.7 million. As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s anticipated short-term liability obligations were $90.2 million, which resulted in a basic liquidity deficit of $36.7 million that represented 7.3% of total assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s anticipated short-term liability obligations were $104.9 million, which resulted in a basic liquidity shortfall of $44.5 million that represented 8.7% of total assets. The liquidity shortfall does not indicate an inability of the Company to meet its short-term obligations as the Company has borrowing capacity in excess of the amount of the shortfall.

The careful planning of asset and liability maturities and the matching of interest rates to correspond with this matching of maturities is an integral part of the active management of an institution’s net yield. To the extent maturities of assets and liabilities do not match in a changing interest rate environment, net yields may be affected. Even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, risks remain in the form of prepayment of assets, timing lags in adjusting certain assets and liabilities that have varying sensitivities to market interest rates and basis risk. In its overall attempt to match assets and liabilities, management takes into account rates and maturities offered in connection with its certificates of deposit and provides for the extension of variable rate loans to borrowers. The Company has generally been able to control its exposure to changing interest rates by maintaining floating interest rate loans, shorter term investments, and a majority of its certificates of deposit with relatively short maturities.

The Executive Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors meets at least quarterly to monitor the Company’s investments and liquidity needs and oversee its asset-liability management. In between meetings of the Executive Committee, the Company’s management oversees the Bank’s liquidity.

Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

In December 2010, the Group of Governers and Heads of Supervisors of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee, published its "calibrated' capital standards for major banking institutions, referred to as Basel III.

Subsequently, in July 2013, the FRB and the FDIC approved revisions to their capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action rules that implemented and addressed the revised standards of Basel III and address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The FRB's and the FDIC's rules apply to all depository institutions and top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more (this threshold was subsequently increased to $1 billion or more in May 2015) ("banking organizations"). Among other things, the rules established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets) and increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets). Banking organizations are required to have a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from prior rules) and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% (unchanged from prior rules). The rules also limit a banking organization's ability to pay dividends, engage in share repurchases or pay discretionary bonuses if the banking organization does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" consisting of 2.5% (fully phased-in amount effective January 1, 2019) of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The rules became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to phase-in periods for certain components.). The capital conservation buffer is being phased-in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assetsand will increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019 at 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. As of January 1, 2017, the Bank was required to maintain a capaital conservation buffer of 1.25%.

With respect to the Bank, the FDIC regulations provide that an institution will be classified as "well capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0 percent (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratioof at least 8.0 percent, (iii) has a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1")  ratio of at least 6.5 percent, (iv) has a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5.0 percent, and (v) meets certain other requirements. An institution will be classified as "adequately capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0 percent (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0 percent, (iii) has a CET1  ratio of at least 4.5 percent, (iv) has a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4.0 percent, and (v) does not meet the definition of well capitalized. An institution will be classified as "undercapitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0 percent (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at less than 6.0 percent, (iii) has a CET1  ratio of less than 4.5 percent or (iv) has a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 4.0 percent. An institution will be classified as "significantly undercapitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0 percent (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at less than 4.0 percent, (iii) has a CET1  ratio of less than 3.0 percent or (iv) has a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 3.0 percent. An institution will be classified as "critically undercapitalized" if it has a tangible equity to total assets ratio that is equal to or less than 2.0 percent. An insured depository institution may be deeemed to be in a lower capitalization category if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating. Similar categories apply to bank holding companies. When the capital conservation buffer is fully phased in, the capital ratios applicable to depository institutions will exceed the ratiosto be considered "well capitalized" under the prompt corrective action regulations. 

Management believes, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, the Bank exceeded the fully phased-in regulatory requirements for the capital conservation buffer. 

As of March 31, 2017 (unaudited) and December 31, 2016, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Inflation and Deflation

The impact of changes in the general price level of goods or services on financial institutions, either through inflation or deflation, may differ significantly from the impact exerted on other companies. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have numerous assets and liabilities whose values are affected by both inflation and deflation. This is especially true for companies, such as a bank, with a high percentage of interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Banks seek to reduce the impact of inflation or deflation, and the coincident increase or decrease in interest rates, by managing their interest-rate-sensitivity gap. The Company attempts to manage its interest-rate-sensitivity gap and to structure its mix of financial instruments so as to minimize the potential adverse effects inflation or deflation may have on its net interest income and, therefore, its earnings and capital.

Based on the Company’s interest-rate-sensitivity position, the Company may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates in the short term. As such, management of the money supply and interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board to control the general price level of goods or services has an indirect impact on the earnings of the Company. Also, changes in interest rates may have a corresponding impact on the ability of borrowers to repay loans made by the Company.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had in place mandatory commitments to sell approximately $9.3 million of loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). As of December 31, 2016, the Company had in place mandatory commitments to sell approximately $7.4 million of loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties to Freddie Mac.
