8. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company uses

FHLB advances as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than

one

year are classified as long-term. The Company had long-term FHLB advances outstanding of

$10.0

million as of both

June 30, 2018

and

December 31, 2017. 

Assets pledged associated with FHLB advances totaled

$21.5

million and

$26.0

million as of

June 30, 

2018

and

respectively. As of
