Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic

820,

Fair Value Measurements

, defines fair value as the 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. Topic

820

also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes

three

levels of inputs that

may

be used to measure fair value:

Level

: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level

: Observable inputs other than Level

prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are

not

active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level

: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or

market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale securities:

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level

of the valuation hierarchy. Level

securities include equity securities. If quoted market prices are

not

available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. For these investments, the inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value

may

include

one

or a combination of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads,

two

-sided markets, benchmark securities, bid offers and reference data market research publications and are classified within Level

of the valuation hierarchy. Level

securities include U.S. government agencies, municipal securities and government sponsored mortgage-backed securities. The Company has

Level

securities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level

inputs. The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that

may

include dealer quotes, live trading levels, among other things.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Fair value is estimated using recent appraisals, comparable sales and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for selling costs and discounts based on management’s assessment of the condition and marketability of the collateral. Foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level

of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired loans

(Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Company will

not

collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level

of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at

June 30, 2017

and

There were

transfers between valuation levels for any asset during the

six

months ended

June 30, 2017

2016.

If valuation techniques are deemed necessary, the Company considers those transfers to occur at the end of the period when the assets are valued.

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in nonrecurring Level

fair value measurement (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Fair Value June 30, 2017		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range (Weighted Average)

Impaired loans (collateral dependent)	$	1,053	Market Comparable	Discount to reflect realizable value	0%	-	71%	(10%)

Foreclosed assets held for sale	$	-	Market Comparable	Discount to reflect realizable value		0%

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank stock

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate those assets' fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is

not

available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

The fair value of advances is estimated by using rates on debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Subordinated debentures

For these variable rate instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. There is currently a limited market for similar debt instruments and the Company has the option to call the subordinated debentures at an amount close to its par value.

Interest payable

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments to originate loans, letters of credit and lines of credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

The following tables present estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at
