•	Securities available for sale. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Fair values for Level 2 securities are based upon dealer quotes, market spreads, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions at the security level.


•	Other investments. At March 31, 2018, of the $29.3 million of other investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximately $0.2 million were carried at fair value. The remaining $29.1 million of other investments were accounted for at cost. Other investments reported at fair value represent equity securities with quoted market prices (Level 1).


•	State tax credits held for sale. At March 31, 2018, of the $42.4 million of state tax credits held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximately $0.4 million were carried at fair value. The remaining $42.0 million of state tax credits were accounted for at cost.

The Company is not aware of an active market that exists for the 10-year streams of state tax credit financial instruments. However, the Company’s principal market for these tax credits consists of Missouri state residents who buy these credits and local and regional accounting firms who broker them. As such, the Company employed a discounted cash flow analysis (income approach) to determine the fair value.

The remaining state tax credits carried at fair value are expected to be sold within the next several quarters. The state tax credit assets are reported as Level 3 assets.

•

Derivatives. Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains counterparty quotations to value its interest rate swaps. In addition, the Company validates the counterparty quotations with third party valuation sources. Derivatives with negative fair values are included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives with positive fair value are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

The following table presents the changes in Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.

From time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. The following table presents financial instruments and non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2018.



	(1)		(1)		(1)		(1)
(in thousands)	Total Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018

(1) The amounts represent only balances measured at fair value during the period and still held as of the reporting date.

Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans. Fair values for impaired loans are obtained from current appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers or independent valuation specialists. At March 31, 2018, impaired loans measured on a non-recurring basis had a principal balance of $3.5 million, with a valuation allowance of $0.6 million.

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon foreclosure of the underlying loan. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value of other real estate is based upon the current appraised values of the properties as determined by qualified licensed appraisers and the Company’s judgment of other relevant market conditions.

Following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Fair values that are not estimable are listed at the carrying value.
