3.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures fair value under the fair value hierarchy described below.

Level

Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets.

Level

Quoted prices (unadjusted) for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are

not

active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level

Model based techniques that use

one

significant assumption

not

observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which

may

be significant.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value

may

fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques

may

require the transfer of financial instruments from

one

fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

Because

market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. Those estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision are included in Level

Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.

These estimates do

not

reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at

one

time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have

not

been considered in any of these estimates.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of

December 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018

, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value:

The fair value of securities available-for-sale equals quoted market price, if available. If quoted market prices are

not

available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or matrix pricing. There were

changes in the valuation techniques used during

2019

2018

. Transfers between hierarchy measurement levels are recognized by the Company as of the beginning of the reporting period. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The Company has

liabilities which are reported at fair value.

The following methods were used to estimate fair value.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans

: The Bank does

not

record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on fair value estimates of the underlying collateral. The fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or broker opinions, obtained from independent

third

parties, which are frequently adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and estimated selling costs (Level

). Net losses of

$121,000

and

represent impairment charges recognized during the years ended

December 31, 2019

and

2018

, respectively, related to the above impaired loans.

Other Real Estate:

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values are generally based on

third

party appraisals of the property which are commonly adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and selling costs (Level

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Loan Administration Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of similar collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value for unsold properties to determine what additional adjustment, if any, should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.
