Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic

820,

“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

”

defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic

825,

“Financial Instruments

”

allows entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company has

not

elected the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

ASC Topic

820

defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes 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. This Topic describes

three

levels of inputs that

may

be used to measure fair value:

Level

Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level

Significant other 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

Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions supported by little or

market activity about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Following is a description of the valuation method used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For this disclosure, the Company only has available for sale investment securities

and money market mutual funds classified as cash equivalents that meet the requirement. The carrying value of the

$27.8

million and

$18.6

million in money market mutual funds at

September 30, 2017

and

December 31, 2016,

respectively, is equivalent to its fair value and based on Level

inputs.

Available for sale investment securities

Valued primarily by independent

third

party pricing services under the market valuation approach that include, but are

not

limited to, the following inputs:

●

Mutual funds and equity securities are priced utilizing real-time data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities and are considered Level

inputs.

●

Government-sponsored agency debt securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other similar investment securities are priced with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among others sources and are considered Level

inputs.

Fair value disclosure for a

vailable for sale investment securities as of

The Company is required to measure and disclose certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods following their initial recognition. The Company

’s disclosure about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consists of collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO.

Adjustments to the fair value of

collateral-dependent loans are recorded by either direct loan charge-offs through the allowance for loan losses or an adjustment to the specific reserve through an increase or decrease to the provision for loan losses. The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is measured based on recent appraisals of the underlying collateral. These appraisals

may

utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraisers take absorption rates into consideration and adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to identify differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments consist mainly of estimated costs to sell that are

not

included in certain appraisals or to update appraised collateral values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which a newer appraisal is available. These adjustments can be significant and typically result in a Level

classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

OREO

includes properties acquired by the Company through, or in lieu of, actual loan foreclosures and is carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of OREO at acquisition is generally based on

third

party appraisals of the property that includes comparable sales data and is considered as Level

inputs. The carrying value of each OREO property is updated at least annually and more frequently when market conditions significantly impact the value of the property. If the carrying amount of the OREO exceeds fair value less estimated costs to sell, an impairment loss is recorded through noninterest expense.

The following table represent

s the carrying amount of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held by the Company as of the dates indicated. The amounts in the table only represent assets whose carrying amount has been adjusted during the period in a manner as described above; therefore, these amounts will differ from the total amounts outstanding. With the exception of those calculated using the collateral valuation method, collateral-dependent impaired loan amounts in the tables below exclude restructured loans that are measured based on present value techniques, which are outside the scope of the fair value reporting framework.

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs for assets measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level

measurements.

As described above, the fair value of real estate securing collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are based on current

third

party appraisals. It is sometimes necessary, however, for the Company to discount the appraisal amounts supporting its impaired loans and OREO. These discounts relate primarily to marketing and other holding costs that are

not

included in certain appraisals or to update values as a result of market declines of similar properties for which newer appraisals are available. Discounts

may

also result from contracts to sell properties entered into during the period. The range of discounts is presented in the table below for

2017

and

2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The

table that follows represents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic

825,

“Financial Instruments

”

ASC Topic

825

requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or

not

recognized in the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and present value or other valuation techniques. These derived fair values are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. ASC Topic

825

excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented are

not

intended to represent the underlying value of the Company

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial i

nstruments

not

presented elsewhere for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value

due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization or settlement.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity

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

not

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

with available market information through processes using benchmark yields, matrix pricing, prepayment speeds, cash flows, live trading data, and market spreads sourced from new issues, dealer quotes, and trade prices, among other sources.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting

expected future cash flows using current discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The f

air value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of such securities.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting

date and fair value approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased and Short-term

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for these borrowings which reprice frequently in the near term.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Su

bordinated Notes Payable, and Other Long-term Borrowings

The fair value of

these borrowings is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. For subordinated notes payable, the Company uses its best estimate to determine an appropriate discount rate since active markets for similar debt transactions are very limited.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Pricing of these financial

instruments is based on the credit quality and relationship, fees, interest rates, probability of funding, compensating balance, and other covenants or requirements. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, variable interest rates and contain termination and other clauses that provide for relief from funding in the event there is a significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. Many loan commitments are expected to, and typically do, expire without being drawn upon. The rates and terms of the Company’s commitments to lend and standby letters of credit are competitive with others in the various markets in which the Company operates. There are

unamortized fees relating to these financial instruments, as such the carrying value and fair value are both zero.

The

following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at

September 3

2017

and

December 31, 2016.

Information for available for sale investment securities is presented within this footnote in greater detail above.
