Bank Owned Life Insurance

At December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had $40.4 million and $39.2 million, respectively of BOLI. The Company recorded noninterest income associated with the BOLI policies of $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $914,000 for the years ending December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a selected group of employees where the Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at its cash surrender value. Increases in the cash surrender value of these policies, as well as a portion of the insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income and are not subject to income tax, as long as they are held for the life of the covered parties.
