General

Prime Meridian Holding Company (the “Holding Company”) owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Prime Meridian Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a Florida state- chartered commercial bank. The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate clients through its three banking offices located in Tallahassee and Crawfordville, Florida and through its online banking platform.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2015, and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Comprehensive Income. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income. The only component of other comprehensive income is the net change in the unrealized gains on the securities available for sale.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company expenses the fair value of any stock options granted. The Company recognizes share-based compensation in earnings as the options vest.

Mortgage Banking Revenue. Mortgage banking revenue includes gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale and wholesale brokerage fees. The Company recognizes mortgage banking revenue from mortgage loans originated in earnings upon sale of the loans.
