MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the financial position of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods presented. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with GAAP and general practices within the banking industry.  There have been no material changes or developments in the application of accounting principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings. ASU 2017-03 addresses and codifies the practical considerations and application of the required disclosures under SAB Topic 11.M for the implementation of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); and ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The SEC Staff has emphasized on a number of occasions, including the December 2016 AICPA National Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the requirements to disclose the potential material effects of newly issued standards and the importance of providing investors with this information. Such disclosures should explain the impact the new standard is expected to have on the financial statements and how the adoption of the new standard will affect comparability. Entities should discuss both quantitative and qualitative information as available when assessing implementation of a new standard. This ASU was effective immediately for public business entities.

ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment was issued in order to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-04 to have an impact on its goodwill impairment tests.

ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities was issued in response to diversity in practice in the amortization period for premiums of callable debt securities and in how the potential for exercise of a call is factored into current impairment assessments. As such, these amendments reduce the amortization period for certain callable debt securities carried at a premium and require the premium to be amortized over the period not to exceed the earliest call date. These amendments do not apply to securities carried at a discount. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently amortizing premiums of callable debt securities over a period through the earliest call date. As a result, it does not expect ASU 2017-08 to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.

ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 350): Scope of Modification Accounting was issued in response to diversity in practice when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following conditions are met:

8

• The fair value (or intrinsic or calculated value if elected) of the modified award is the same as the value of the original award immediately before the original award was modified.

• The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

• The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or its financial statement disclosures.

Accounting Changes, Reclassifications and Restatements —Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,”. ASU 2016-09 requires that all income tax effects associated with share-based payment awards be reported in earnings as an adjustment to income tax expense. Previously, excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments awards were recorded in additional paid-in-capital when the excess tax benefits were realized. The requirement to report those income tax effects in earnings has been applied to settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2017. ASU 2016-09 also requires that all income tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Previously, income tax benefits at settlement of an award were reported as a reduction to operating cash flows and an increase to financing cash flows to the extent that those benefits exceeded the income tax benefits reported in earnings during the award's vesting period. The Company has elected to apply that change in cash flow classification on a retrospective basis, which resulted in a $148,000 increase to net cash from operating activities and a corresponding decrease to net cash from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for 2016, as compared to the amounts previously reported.

Management evaluates each quarter whether unrealized losses on securities represent impairment that is other than temporary. For debt securities, the Company considers its intent to sell the securities or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities.  If such impairment is identified, based upon the intent to sell or the more likely than not threshold, the carrying amount of the security is reduced to fair value with a charge to earnings. Upon the result of the aforementioned review, management then reviews for potential other than temporary impairment based upon other qualitative factors.  In making this evaluation, management considers changes in market rates relative to those available when the security was acquired, changes in market expectations about the timing of cash flows from securities that can be prepaid, performance of the debt security, and changes in the market’s perception of the issuer’s financial health and the security’s credit quality.  If determined that a debt security has incurred other than temporary impairment, then the amount of the credit related impairment is determined.  For equity securities, management reviews the near term prospects of the issuer, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and duration of the impairments and other factors when determining if an unrealized loss is other than temporary. If a credit loss is evident, the amount of the credit loss is charged to earnings and the non-credit related impairment is recognized through other comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2017, 49 securities had unrealized losses totaling 1.22% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 0.57% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis.  Of the 49 securities, 10 had been in an unrealized loss position for over twelve months at June 30, 2017.  These 10 securities had an amortized cost basis and unrealized loss of $31.4 million and $666,000, respectively.  The unrealized losses on debt securities at June 30, 2017 resulted from changing market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased.  Management identified no impairment related to credit quality.  At June 30, 2017, management had the intent and ability to hold impaired securities and no impairment was evaluated as other than temporary.  As a result, no other than temporary impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 10 securities classified as available-for-sale and 1 security classified as held-to-maturity. Of the available-for-sale securities, 7 securities were sold with gains totaling $111,000 and 3 securities were sold at a loss of $109,000 for a net gain of $2,000.  The decision to sell the 1 held-to-maturity security, which was sold at a gain of $7,000, was based on the pre-refunding of the bond which would accelerate the maturity of the bond by 15 years with an anticipated call date within six months. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold 2 securities classified as available-for-sale at a gross gain of $20,000.

Securities with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $294.5 million and $293.4 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Company monitors loan concentrations and evaluates individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity for each major standard industry classification segment.  At June 30, 2017, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, constituted more than 10% of the loan portfolio.  The Company’s exposure in the oil and gas industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $208.8 million, or 16.8% of total loans.  Additionally, the Company’s exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate is monitored.  At June 30, 2017, loans secured by commercial real estate (including commercial construction, farmland and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $531.7 million, 51% of which are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Of the $531.7 million in loans secured by commercial real estate, $19.6 million, or 3.7%, were on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account available to absorb probable losses on loans. All losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss is likely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses at the time of recovery.  Quarterly, the probable level of losses in the existing portfolio is estimated through consideration of various factors.  Based on these estimates, the allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge‑offs (net of recoveries).

The allowance is composed of general reserves and specific reserves.  General reserves are determined by applying loss percentages to segments of the portfolio.  The loss percentages are based on each segment’s historical loss experience, generally over the past twelve to eighteen months, and adjustment factors derived from conditions in the Company’s internal and external environment.  All loans considered to be impaired are evaluated on an individual basis to determine specific reserve allocations in accordance with GAAP.  Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the calculation of general reserves.

Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value, which includes an estimate of credit losses expected to be realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and therefore no corresponding allowance for loan losses is recorded for these loans at acquisition. Methods utilized to estimate any subsequently required allowance for loan losses for acquired loans not deemed credit-impaired at acquisition are similar to originated loans; however, the estimate of loss is based on the unpaid principal balance and then compared to any remaining unaccreted purchase discount. To the extent that the calculated loss is greater than the remaining unaccreted purchase discount, an allowance is recorded for such difference.

The Company has an internal loan review department that is independent of the lending function to challenge and corroborate the loan grade assigned by the lender and to provide additional analysis in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payment have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual.  For loans placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and subsequent payments received are applied to the principal balance.  Interest income is recorded after principal has been satisfied and as payments are received.  Non-accrual loans may be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest amounts contractually owed are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and there is a period of at least six months to one year of repayment performance by the borrower depending on the contractual payment terms.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based upon current information, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, based on credit risk rating factors, are reviewed to determine whether impairment testing is appropriate.  All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance above a specified threshold are evaluated for potential impairment. All loan relationships with an outstanding commitment balance below the specified threshold are assigned an allowance allocation percentage that is determined by management and adjusted periodically based on certain factors. An allowance for each impaired loan is calculated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collaterally dependent.  All impaired loans are reviewed, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis.  Existing valuations are reviewed to determine if additional discounts or new appraisals are required.  After this review, when comparing the resulting collateral valuation to the outstanding loan balance, if the discounted collateral value exceeds the loan balance no specific allocation is reserved.

Credit Quality

The Company manages credit risk by observing written underwriting standards and lending policy established by the Board of Directors and management to govern all lending activities.  The risk management program requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by a loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to serve their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, current economic trends, and other factors. Loans are analyzed individually and classified according to their credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Weakness exists that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, and questionable management capabilities. Collateral values generally afford adequate coverage but may not be immediately marketable.

Substandard: Specific and well-defined weaknesses exist that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial ratios. Currently the borrower maintains the capacity to service the debt. The loan may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.

Doubtful: Specific weaknesses characterized as Substandard exist that are severe enough to make collection in full unlikely. There is no reliable secondary source of full repayment. Loans classified as Doubtful will usually be placed on non-accrual status. The probability of some loss is extremely high but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) is a restructuring of a debt made by the Company to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider.  The Company grants the concession in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible.

Information about the Company’s TDRs is as follows (in thousands):

Real estate – commercial	—		140		808		948
	$	12	$	140	$	25,139	$	25,291

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, there were no loans identified as a TDR, and there were no defaults on any loans that were modified as TDRs during the preceding twelve months.  During the three months ended June 30, 2016, there were no loans identified as a TDR, and there were no defaults on any loans that were modified as TDRs during the preceding twelve months.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was one loan relationship with a pre-modification balance of $2.0 million identified as a TDR after a reduction in payments. There were no defaults on any loans that were modified as TDRs during the preceding twelve months. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there was one loan relationship with a pre-modification balance of $5.5 million identified as a TDR after conversion of the loans to interest only for a limited amount of time. This one TDR subsequently defaulted on the modified terms and totaled $5.5 million at June 30, 2016.  For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on these TDRs, as an identified TDR, the Company considers a loss probable on the loan and, as a result is reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology.  If it is determined losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicator, the Company establishes specific reserves for these loans. As of June 30, 2017, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing sums to the Company whose terms have been modified in TDRs.

4. Intangibles

A summary of core deposit intangible assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

Gross carrying amount	$	11,674		$	11,674
Less accumulated amortization	(7,606		)	(7,053		)
Net carrying amount	$	4,068		$	4,621

5. Derivatives

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into two forward interest rate swap contracts on a reverse repurchase agreement and long-term FHLB advances. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as derivative instruments in a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging to convert forecasted variable interest payment to a fixed rate and the Company has concluded that the forecasted transactions are probable of occurring. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss related to the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.

No ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The accumulated net after-tax income related to the effective cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income is reflected in Note 6 - Other Comprehensive Income.

The following table discloses the notional amounts and fair value of derivative instruments in the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

8. Fair Value Measurement

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices 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 in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value.

Cash and Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks and Federal Funds Sold—The carrying value of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available-for-Sale—Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available.  If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.  Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter market funds.  Securities are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy when the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 inputs are used to value U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal securities, single issue trust preferred securities, certain pooled trust preferred securities, collateralized debt obligations and certain equity securities that are not actively traded.

Securities Held-to-Maturity—The fair value of securities held-to-maturity is estimated using the same measurement techniques as securities available-for-sale.

Other Investments—The carrying value of other investments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans—For disclosure purposes, the fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  For variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  No adjustment to fair value is taken related to illiquidity discounts.  However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established.  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired.  Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management uses one of three methods to measure impairment, which, include collateral value, market value of similar debt, and discounted cash flows.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.  Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral or where the loan balance has been charged down to fair value require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts

25

the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

For non-performing loans, collateral valuations currently in file are reviewed for acceptability in terms of timeliness and applicability.  Although each determination is made based on the facts and circumstances of each credit, generally valuations are no longer considered acceptable when there has been physical deterioration of the property from when it was last appraised, or there has been a significant change in the underlying assumptions of the appraisal.  If the valuation is deemed to be unacceptable, a new appraisal is ordered.  New appraisals are typically received within 4-6 weeks.  While awaiting new appraisals, the valuation in the file is utilized, net of discounts.  Discounts are derived from available relevant market data, selling costs, taxes, and insurance.  Any perceived collateral deficiency utilizing the discounted value is specifically reserved (as required by ASC Topic 310) until the new appraisal is received or charged off.  Thus, provisions or charge-offs are recognized in the period the credit is identified as non-performing.

The following sources are utilized to set appropriate discounts: in-market real estate agents, current local sales data, bank history for devaluation of similar property, Sheriff’s valuations and buy/sell contracts.  If a real estate agent is used to market and sell the property, values are discounted 10% for selling costs.  Additional discounts may be applied if research from the above sources indicates a discount is appropriate given devaluation of similar property from the time of the initial valuation.

Other Real Estate—Other real estate (“ORE”) properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate, and annually thereafter to insure other real estate assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  Exceptions to obtaining initial appraisals are properties where a buy/sell agreement exists for the loan value or greater, or where a Sheriff’s valuation has been received for properties liquidated through a Sheriff sale.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the ORE as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and adjusts the appraisal value by taking an additional discount for market conditions and there is no observable market prices, the Company records the ORE asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets Held For Sale—Assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon appraised values.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies—Fair value for life insurance cash surrender value is based on cash surrender values indicated by the insurance companies.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The fair value of derivatives are determined by an independent valuation firm and are estimated using prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics. As a result, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The estimated fair value does not include customer related intangibles.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase—The fair value approximates the carrying value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase due to their short-term nature.

Long-term Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—The fair value of long-term FHLB advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar types of borrowings with similar terms.

Junior Subordinated Debentures—For junior subordinated debentures that bear interest on a floating basis, the carrying amount approximates fair value.  For junior subordinated debentures that bear interest on a fixed rate basis, the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar types of borrowings.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Credit Card Guarantees—Because commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally short-term and made using variable rates, the carrying value and estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

The Company records impaired loans at fair value, measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs and other collateral-based discounts. Other real estate properties are considered level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties, discounted for selling costs, information from comparable sales and marketability of the property. Assets held for sale are considered level 2 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties. The following tables present the Company's financial assets that are measured at fair values on a nonrecurring basis (in thousands):

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

9. Subsequent Events

On July 11, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 516,700 shares of common stock, pursuant to the partial exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriter, Sandler O'Neill+Partners, L.P., in connection with the Company's recently completed public offering of 4,583,334 shares at $12.00 per share. The partial exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares resulted in additional gross proceeds of approximately $6.2 million, bringing the total gross proceeds to approximately $61.2 million and total net proceeds to approximately $57.2 million.

Effective as of July 19, 2017, MidSouth Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), the banking subsidiary of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), the Bank’s primary federal regulator, entered into a formal written agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides, among other things, that the Bank:

• create a committee to monitor the Bank’s compliance with the Agreement and make quarterly reports to the Board of Directors and the OCC;

• adopt and implement a three-year strategic plan for the Bank consistent with regulatory guidance and to be reviewed and updated on at least an annual basis by the Board of Directors;

• protect its interests in its criticized assets (those assets classified as “doubtful,” “substandard,” or “special mention” by internal or external loan review or examination), and adopt and implement a written program designed to eliminate the basis of criticism of criticized assets equal to or exceeding $250,000, which shall be reviewed and, as necessary, revised, on a quarterly basis;

• may not extend additional credit to any borrower with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $250,000 that is a criticized asset unless approved and deemed by the Bank's Board of Directors to be necessary to promote the best interests of the Bank and will not compromise the Bank's written program with respect to such loans;

• develop and implement a written program to improve the Bank's loan portfolio management and provide the Board of Directors with written reports on the Bank's loan portfolio to enhance problem loan identification;

• review and, as necessary, revise the Bank's loan review program to ensure the timely identification and categorization of problem credits consistent with regulatory guidance;

• adopt and implement certain enhancements to its policies and procedures relating to its allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) and the methodology related thereto; and

• revise its internal audit program to ensure Bank adherence to an independent and comprehensive internal audit program.

29

The Agreement does not require the Bank to maintain any specific minimum regulatory capital ratios and, accordingly, does not change the Bank’s “well-capitalized” status as of the date hereof. However, in connection with its most recent examination, the OCC established higher individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank. Specifically, the Bank must maintain a Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets ratio of at least 8%, and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 12%.

A consequence of the regulatory issues mentioned above is that the Company no longer meets the requirements to maintain its status as a financial holding company under the Federal Reserve’s guidelines. As such, the Company expects to decertify as a financial holding company and become a bank holding company under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act. The Company has previously engaged in immaterial insurance-related activities through its subsidiary, Peoples General Agency, Inc., that the Company will discontinue.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana that conducts substantially all of its business through its wholly owned subsidiary bank, MidSouth Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”).  We offer complete banking services to commercial and retail customers in Louisiana and south and central Texas with 57 locations and are connected to a worldwide ATM network that provides customers with access to more than 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs.  We are community oriented and focus primarily on offering commercial and consumer loan and deposit services to individuals, small businesses, and middle market businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The accounting principles we follow and the methods of applying these principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general banking practices.  Our most critical accounting policy relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments.  The determination of the adequacy of the allowance involves significant judgment and complexity and is based on many factors.  If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the estimates would be updated and additional provisions for loan losses may be required.  See Asset Quality – Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 1 and Note 3 of the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

Another of our critical accounting policies relates to the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.  We account for acquisitions in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, which requires the use of the purchase method of accounting.  Under this method, we are required to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value, including intangible assets.  Determination of fair value involves estimates based on internal valuations of discounted cash flow analyses performed, third party valuations, or other valuation techniques that involve subjective assumptions.  Additionally, the term of the useful lives and appropriate amortization periods of intangible assets is subjective.  Resulting goodwill from an acquisition under the purchase method of accounting represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if deemed necessary.  If the fair value of an asset exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no charge to goodwill is made.  If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset, goodwill will be adjusted through a charge to earnings.  Given the instability of the economic environment, it is reasonably possible that the methodology of the assessment of potential loan losses and goodwill impairment could change in the near-term or could result in impairment going forward.

A third critical accounting policy relates to deferred tax assets and liabilities.  We record deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to

31

taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.  In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets is required.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or the full amount of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.  A deferred tax liability is not recognized for portions of the allowance for loan losses for income tax purposes in excess of the financial statement balance.  Such a deferred tax liability will only be recognized when it becomes apparent that those temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% more likely of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended June 30,2017 and 2016

We reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The loss of $6.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to increased loan loss provisioning to address credit issues as well as charges related to branch sales/closures and the accrual of severance benefits resulting from the termination of an executive pursuant to an employment agreement. Second quarter 2017 net loss included an after-tax charge of $872,000 for severance and retention accruals, an after-tax charge of $371,000 resulting from the write-down of assets held for sale, and a one-time after-tax charge of $302,000 related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, a loss of $0.38 per diluted share was reported for the second quarter of 2017, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.15 for the first quarter of 2017 and for the second quarter of 2016.

Fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income was $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, a $496,000 increase compared to $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. Our annualized net interest margin, on a FTE basis, increased 7 basis points in prior year quarterly comparison, from 4.11% for the second quarter of 2016 to 4.18% for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, the FTE margin also increased 7 basis points, from 4.02% to 4.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $84,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $98,000 increase in ATM/debit card income and a $44,000 increase in mortgage program fee income. The increases were partially offset by a $55,000 decrease in service charges on deposits accounts.

The second quarter of 2017 included non-operating expenses totaling $2.4 million which consisted of $1.3 million of severance and retention accruals, a $570,000 write-down on assets held for sale and a $465,000 one-time charge related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, noninterest expenses increased $187,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $500,000 increase in legal and professional fees and a $189,000 increase in data processing costs, which were partially offset by a $239,000 decrease in occupancy expense and a $166,000 decrease in corporate development. The provision for loan losses increased $10.2 million in quarterly comparison, from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. A $3.2 million income tax benefit was reported for the second quarter of 2017, compared to income tax expense of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2016.

Dividends on preferred stock totaled $811,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were $720,000 for the second quarter of 2017, unchanged from $720,000 for the second quarter of 2016. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock issued with the December 28, 2012 acquisition of PSB Financial Corporation (“PSB”) totaled $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

For the Six Months Ended June 30,2017 and 2016

We reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $4.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $3.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The first six months of 2017 included non-operating expenses totaling $2.4 million which consisted of $1.3 million of severance and retention accruals, a $570,000 write-down on assets held for sale and a $465,000 one-time charge related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, the operating loss per share for the first six months of 2017 was $0.26.

FTE net interest income was $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a $408,000 increase compared to $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our annualized net interest margin, on a FTE basis, was 4.18% for the six months ended June 30,

32

2017, compared to 4.15% for the same period in 2016. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, the FTE margin increased 6 basis points, from 4.04% to 4.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $384,000 in year-over-year comparison and consisted primarily of a $192,000 increase in ATM/debit card income, a $78,000 increase in mortgage program fee income and a $56,000 increase in service charges on deposits accounts.

Excluding non-operating expenses of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, noninterest expenses increased $658,000 in year-over-year comparison and consisted primarily of a $627,000 increase in salaries and benefits costs, a $502,000 increase in legal and professional fees and a $352,000 increase in data processing costs, which were partially offset by decreases of $212,000 in occupancy expense, $190,000 in marketing costs, $185,000 in corporate development and $143,000 in ATM/debit card expense. The provision for loan losses increased $10.2 million in year-over-year comparison, from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to the high level of charge-offs and additional impairment charges on nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2017. A $2.6 million income tax benefit was reported for the first six months of 2017, compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million for the first six months of 2016.

Net Interest Income

Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly affect net interest income.  Our net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.18% and 4.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.   Tables 1 and 3 and tables 2 and 4 below analyze the changes in net interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

FTE net interest income increased $496,000 in prior year quarterly comparison. Interest income on loans increased $159,000 due to an increase in the average yield on loans of 4 basis points. The average balance of loans decreased $1.7 million in prior year quarterly comparison. Purchase accounting adjustments added 10 basis points to the average yield on loans for the second quarter of 2017 and 9 basis points to the average yield on loans for the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments, average loan yields increased 3 basis points in prior year quarterly comparison, from 5.22% to 5.25%.

Investment securities totaled $436.0 million, or 22.4% of total assets at June 30, 2017, versus $440.1 million, or 22.6% of total assets at December 31, 2016. The investment portfolio had an effective duration of 3.0 years and a net unrealized gain of $2.0 million at June 30, 2017. Interest income on investment securities increased $405,000 in prior year quarterly comparison. The average volume of investment securities increased $33.7 million in prior year quarterly comparison. The average tax equivalent yield on investment securities increased 17 basis points, from 2.52% to 2.69%.

The average yield on all earning assets increased 9 basis points in prior year quarterly comparison, from 4.43% for the second quarter of 2016 to 4.52% for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, the average yield on total earning assets increased 9 basis points, from 4.36% to 4.45% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Interest expense increased $115,000 in prior year quarterly comparison. Increases in interest expense included a $70,000 increase in interest expense on deposits and a $42,000 increase in interest expense on variable rate junior subordinated debentures. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments on acquired certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 0.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Long-term FHLB advances totaled $25.2 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $25.6 million at June 30, 2016.  The FHLB advances are fixed rate advances with rates ranging from 1.99% to 5.06% and have a range of maturities from July 2017 to January 2019.  The FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on first mortgages and other qualifying loans. 

As a result of these changes in volume and yield on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the FTE net interest margin increased 7 basis points, from 4.11% for the second quarter of 2016 to 4.18% for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments on loans, deposits and FHLB borrowings, the FTE margin increased 7 basis points, from 4.02% for the second quarter of 2016 to 4.09% for the second quarter of 2017.

In year-to-date comparison, FTE net interest income increased $408,000 primarily due to a $618,000 increase in interest income from investment securities. The average volume of investment securities increased $26.4 million in year-over-year comparison, and the average yield on investment securities increased 13 basis points for the same period. Interest income on loans decreased $85,000 in year-over-year comparison. The average volume of loans increased $9.8 million in year-over-year comparison, and the average yield on loans decreased 4 basis points, from 5.36% to 5.32%. The average yield on earning assets increased 5 basis points in year-over-year comparison, from 4.47% at June 30, 2016 to 4.52% at June 30, 2017. The purchase accounting adjustments added 8 basis points to the

33

average yield on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 13 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the average yield on earning assets increased 8 basis points, from 4.38% at June 30, 2016 to 4.46% at June 30, 2017.

Interest expense increased $160,000 in year-over-year comparison. Increases in interest expense included a $74,000 increase in interest expense on deposits and an $83,000 increase in interest expense on junior subordinated debentures. These increases were partially offset by a $23,000 decrease in interest expense on short-term FHLB advances. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 0.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 4 basis points, from 0.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 0.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The FTE net interest margin increased 3 basis points, from 4.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net of purchase accounting adjustments, the FTE net interest margin increased 6 basis points, from 4.04% to 4.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income was $5.2 million and $10.3 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, compared to $5.1 million and $9.9 million for the same periods in 2016. Our recurring non-interest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, ATM and debit card income, mortgage lending and increase in cash value of life insurance.

Table 5 presents non-interest income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Non-interest income increased $84,000 in quarterly comparison, from $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and consisted primarily of a $98,000 increase in ATM/debit card income and a $44,000 increase in mortgage program fee income. The increases were partially offset by a $55,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest income increased $384,000 in year-to-date comparison, from $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and consisted primarily of a $192,000 increase in ATM/debit card income, a $78,000 increase in mortgage program fee income and a $56,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $19.6 million and $36.8 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, compared to $17.0 million and $33.8 million for the same periods in 2016. Our recurring non-interest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, ATM and debit card expense and other operating expenses.

Table 6 presents non-interest expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Non-interest expenses increased $2.6 million in quarterly comparison. The second quarter of 2017 included non-operating expenses totaling $2.4 million which consisted of $1.3 million of severance and retention accruals, a $570,000 write-down on assets held for sale and a $465,000 one-time charge related to discontinued branch projects. Excluding these non-operating expenses, non-interest expense increased $187,000 in quarterly comparison and consisted primarily of a $500,000 increase in legal and professional fees and a $189,000 increase in data processing costs, which were partially offset by a $239,000 decrease in occupancy expense and a $166,000 decrease in corporate development. Excluding non-operating expenses of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, non-interest expenses increased $658,000 in year-over-year comparison and consisted primarily of a $627,000 increase in salaries and benefits costs, a $502,000 increase in legal and professional fees and a $352,000 increase in data processing costs, which were partially offset by decreases of $212,000 in occupancy expense, $190,000 in marketing costs, $185,000 in corporate development and $143,000 in ATM/debit card expense.

Operating salaries and employee benefits costs increased $627,000 in year-to-date comparison and included a $351,000 increase in salary costs and a $185,000 increase in group health costs. The $351,000 increase in salary costs included a $201,000 increase in salary costs and $131,000 in bonuses paid, including $91,000 in sign-on bonuses related to hiring new talent for the Company.

39

The increase in legal and professional fees in prior year quarterly comparison and year-to-date comparison is primarily due to legal costs related to management transition issues and increased outsourcing expenses to enhance risk management.

ATM and debit card expense decreased $143,000 in year-to-date comparison and was primarily driven by a $171,000 decrease in losses on ATM/debit card processing.

A reclass of certain hosted services subscriptions from corporate development into data processing at the beginning of 2017 caused the fluctuations in those two expense categories for the quarters and years-to-date ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Analysis of Balance Sheet

Consolidated assets remained constant at $1.9 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  Deposits decreased $43.2 million from year-end 2016.  The decrease in deposits is primarily attributable to a $27.0 million decrease in a lawsuit settlement account as claims have been paid out since year-end 2016. Our stable core deposit base, which excludes time deposits, totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and accounted for 90.3% of deposits compared to 90.0% of deposits, respectively.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $348.6 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $6.7 million from December 31, 2016.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased $10.7 million, from $98.2 million at December 31, 2016 to $87.5 million at June 30, 2017.  The investment securities portfolio had an effective duration of 3.0 years and a net unrealized gain of $2.0 million at June 30, 2017.

Total loans decreased $43.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of our accelerated efforts to address nonperforming loans, which resulted in the high level of charge-offs and pay-offs during the quarter.

Our energy-related loan portfolio at June 30, 2017 totaled $208.8 million, or 16.8% of total loans, down from $237.4 million at December 31, 2016.  The majority of MidSouth’s energy lending is focused on oil field service companies.  Of the 355 total relationships in our energy-related loan portfolio, 36 relationships totaling $90.2 million were classified, with $30.3 million on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, reserves for potential energy-related loan losses approximated 5.4% of energy loans.

Within the $461.1 million commercial real estate portfolio, $431.4 million is secured by commercial property, $19.4 million is secured by multi-family property, and $10.2 million is secured by farmland.  Of the $431.4 million secured by commercial property, $273.5 million, or 63.4%, is owner-occupied.  Of the $156.4 million residential real estate portfolio, 79.8% represented loans secured by first liens.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements.  These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.  Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.  For the period ended June 30, 2017, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital

Bank Liquidity

Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet maturing contractual obligations and to fund operations.  The Bank’s primary liquidity needs involve its ability to accommodate customers’ demands for deposit withdrawals as well as customers’ requests for credit. Liquidity is deemed adequate when sufficient cash to meet these needs can be promptly raised at a reasonable cost to the Bank.

Liquidity is available through four sources: a stable base of funding sources, an adequate level of assets that can be readily converted into cash, borrowing lines with correspondent banks and brokered deposits. Our core deposits are our most stable and important source of funding.  Cash deposits at other banks, federal funds sold, and principal payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities provide additional primary sources of liquidity.  Approximately $34.2 million in projected cash flows from securities repayments for the remainder of 2017 provides an additional source of liquidity.

The Bank also has significant borrowing capacity with the FRB-Atlanta and with the FHLB–Dallas.  As of June 30, 2017, we had no borrowings with the FRB-Atlanta.  Long-term FHLB-Dallas advances totaled $25.2 million at June 30, 2017 and are fixed rate advances with rates ranging from 1.99% to 5.06% and have a range of maturities from July 2017 to January 2019.  Under existing agreements with the FHLB-Dallas, our borrowing capacity totaled $232.9 million at June 30, 2017.  The Bank has the ability to post additional collateral of approximately $139.4 million if necessary to meet liquidity needs.  Additionally, $171.5 million in loan collateral is pledged under a Borrower-in-Custody line with the FRB-Atlanta. Unsecured borrowing lines totaling $33.5 million are available through correspondent banks.  We utilize these contingency funding alternatives to meet deposit volatility, which is more likely in the current environment, given unusual competitive offerings within our markets.

Company Liquidity

At the Company level, cash is needed primarily to meet interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, dividends on our common stock and dividend payments on the Series B and Series C Preferred Stocks.  The dividend rate on the $32.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury for participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) was 9.0% for the three month period ended June 30, 2017.

On December 28, 2012, the Company issued 756,511 shares of common stock and 99,971 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the PSB acquisition.  As of June 30, 2017, there were 90,915 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.  The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the payment of noncumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 4.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year.  The Series C Preferred Stock paid dividends totaling $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

On June 13, 2017, the Company completed the sale of 4,583,334 shares of its common stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering, and on July 11, 2017, the Company completed the sale of an additional 516,700 shares of common stock, pursuant to the partial exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriter. After deducting the underwriting discount and costs associated with the capital raise, the offering resulted in net proceeds of $57.2 million. The Company, subject to regulatory approval, intends to use $32.0 million of the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as a result of its participation in the SBLF and have commenced discussions with our regulators to obtain approval to do so. The Company intends to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds to enhance its capital structure, to fund future organic growth, for working capital, and other general corporate purposes.

Dividends from the Bank totaling $4.0 million provided additional liquidity prior to the capital raise for the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Due to the $5.4 million loss reported for the second quarter of 2017, we currently do not have the ability to approve dividends from the Bank to the Company without prior approval from the OCC.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $58.2 million of cash to fund general corporate obligations. The Company renewed a $75.0 million Universal Shelf Registration during the third quarter of 2015 and has $13.8 million remaining after completion of its recent capital raise and overallotment issuance.

Capital

The Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain minimum capital levels.  Risk-based capital requirements are intended to make regulatory capital more sensitive to the risk profile of an institution's assets.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank adopted the Basel III rules which included new minimum risk-based and leverage ratios, and modified capital and asset definitions for purposes of calculating these ratios.  These rules also created a new regulatory capital standard based on Tier 1 common equity and increased the minimum leverage and risk-based capital ratios applicable to all banking organizations.

41

In addition, the Basel III rules subject banking organizations to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer phased in by 2019 of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital ratios.  The effect of the capital conservation buffer once fully implemented in 2019 will be to increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5% for banking organizations seeking to avoid the limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The new minimum capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015 for community banking organizations, such as MidSouth, whereas other requirements of the Basel III rules including the conservation buffer phase in over time.

At June 30, 2017, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with statutory minimum capital requirements and were classified as “well capitalized.”  Minimum capital requirements include a total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets) of 8.0%, with Tier 1 capital not less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 to total average adjusted assets) of 4.0% based upon the regulators latest composite rating of the institution, and a common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. However, in connection with its most recent examination, effective July 19, 2017, the OCC established higher individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank. Specifically, the Bank must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.66%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 16.48%, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.73% and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.15%.  The Bank had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.66% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.84% at June 30, 2017.

Asset Quality

Credit Risk Management

We manage credit risk primarily by observing written, board approved policies that govern all credit underwriting and approval activities.  Our Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”) is responsible for credit underwriting as well as management of classified and criticized assets for the Bank.  The role of the CCO includes on-going review and development of lending policies, commercial credit analysis, centralized consumer underwriting, and overall credit risk management procedures.  The current risk management process requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan.  These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by the loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department.  The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Credit concentrations are monitored and reported quarterly whereby individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity are evaluated for each major standard industry classification segment.  At June 30, 2017, one industry segment concentration, the oil and gas industry, aggregated more than 10% of our loan portfolio.  Our exposure in the oil and gas (energy-related) industry, including related service and manufacturing industries, totaled approximately $208.8 million, or 16.8% of total loans.  Of the 355 credit relationships in the energy-related loan portfolio, 36 relationships totaling $90.2 million were classified with $30.3 million on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2017.

Additionally, we monitor our exposure to CRE loans.  At June 30, 2017, CRE loans (including commercial construction and multifamily loans) totaled approximately $531.7 million, 51% of which are secured by owner-occupied commercial properties.  Our non-owner occupied CRE loans as a percentage of our risk-based capital totaled 101% at June 30, 2017. A total of $19.5 million, or 3.7%, were on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2017.  Additional information regarding credit quality by loan classification is provided in Note 3 – Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Nonperforming assets totaled $56.4 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $8.6 million from the $65.0 million reported at year-end 2016 and a decrease of $6.5 million from the $62.9 million reported at June 30, 2016.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the payoffs/paydowns of $26.8 million of non-accrual loans and the charge-off of $10.4 million of non-accrual loans, which included the charge-offs of $6.9 million of collateral-dependent loans that were on non-accrual at December 31, 2016. These decreases were partially offset by $29.5 million of loans placed on non-accrual during the quarter. The decrease in non-performing assets reflects our previously announced transition plans that include a more aggressive approach to addressing asset quality.

Allowance coverage for nonperforming loans was 44.88% at June 30, 2017 compared to 38.78% at December 31, 2016 and 35.68% at June 30, 2016.  The ALL/total loans ratio increased to 1.99% at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.90% at year-end 2016 and 1.69% at June 30, 2016.  Including valuation accounting adjustments on acquired loans, the total adjustments and ALL was 2.11% of loans at June 30, 2017.  The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to total loans increased to 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 0.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, and 0.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Total nonperforming assets to total loans plus ORE and other assets repossessed decreased to 4.54% at June 30, 2017 from 5.06% at December 31, 2016 and 4.97% at June 30, 2016.  Performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $1.7 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $152,000 at December 31, 2016 and $154,000 at June 30, 2016.  Classified assets, including ORE, were $148.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $148.4 million at March 31, 2017. Downgrades to classified assets totaling $39.5 million during the quarter were partially offset by the payoff/paydowns of $29.3 million of classified relationships during the second quarter as well as charge-offs of $9.6 million of loans rated as classified at March 31, 2017. Additional information regarding impaired loans is included in Note 3 – Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses and Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Quarterly evaluations of the allowance for loan losses are performed in accordance with GAAP and regulatory guidelines.  The ALL is comprised of specific reserves assigned to each impaired loan for which a probable loss has been identified as well as general reserves to maintain the allowance at an acceptable level for other loans in the portfolio where historical loss experience is available that indicates certain probable losses may exist.  Factors considered in determining provisions include estimated losses in significant credits; known deterioration in concentrations of credit; historical loss experience; trends in nonperforming assets; volume, maturity and composition of the loan portfolio; off-balance sheet credit risk; lending policies and control systems; national and local economic conditions; the experience, ability and depth of lending management; and the results of examinations of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and others.  The processes by which we determine the appropriate level of the ALL, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates. We believe the $24.7 million in the ALL as of June 30, 2017 is sufficient to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Table 9 below presents a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include “core net interest income” and “core net interest margin”. “Core net interest income” is defined as net interest income excluding net purchase accounting adjustments. “Core net interest margin” is defined as core net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earnings assets.

We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they are useful for evaluating our financial condition and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial condition as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that other companies may use.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes from the information regarding market risk disclosed under the heading “Funding Sources - Interest Rate Sensitivity” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

During the second quarter of 2017, there was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

The Bank has been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising from normal business activities in which damages of various amounts are claimed.  While the amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be currently determined, management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  However, in the event of unexpected future developments in these matters, if the ultimate resolution of any such matter is unfavorable, the result may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

The Bank is in “troubled condition” and has entered into a formal agreement with the OCC, which subjects us to significant restrictions and will require us to designate a significant amount of resources to comply with the agreement.

On June 8, 2017, the Bank was informed by the OCC that the OCC has determined that the Bank is in “troubled condition” for purposes of 12 C.F.R. 5.51, Changes in Directors and Senior Executive Officers, which implements the provisions of Section 914 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, 12 U.S.C. 1831i, and, as a result, the Bank is subject to specified restrictions on its operations. The OCC’s determination was based on deficiencies identified in its examination of the Bank, including but not limited to deficiencies in asset quality, credit administration and strategic planning. Based on the troubled condition determination, the Bank is now subject to the following restrictions on its operations:  (1) the Bank must seek approval from the OCC prior to adding or replacing a member of its board of directors, or employing or promoting any existing employee as a senior executive officer, and (2) the Bank may not, except under certain circumstances, enter into any agreements to make severance or indemnification payments or make any such payments to “institution-affiliated parties” as defined in the regulations.

On July 19, 2017, the Bank entered into a formal written agreement with the OCC (the “Agreement”) that provides, among other things, that the Bank: (i) create a committee to monitor the Bank’s compliance with the Agreement and make quarterly reports to the Board of Directors and the OCC; (ii) adopt and implement a three-year strategic plan for the Bank consistent with regulatory guidance and to be reviewed and updated on at least an annual basis by the Board of Directors; (iii) protect its interests in its criticized assets (those assets classified as “doubtful,” “substandard,” or “special mention” by internal or external loan review or examination), and adopt and implement a written program designed to eliminate the basis of criticism of criticized assets equal to or exceeding $250,000, which shall be reviewed and, as necessary, revised, on a quarterly basis; (iv) may not extend additional credit to any borrower with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $250,000 that is a criticized asset unless approved and deemed by the Bank's Board of Directors to be necessary to promote the best interests of the Bank and will not compromise the Bank's written program with respect to such loans; (v) develop and implement a written program to improve the Bank's loan portfolio management and provide the Board of Directors with written reports on the Bank's loan portfolio to enhance problem loan identification; (vi) review and, as necessary, revise the Bank's loan review program to ensure the timely identification and categorization of problem credits consistent with regulatory guidance; (vii) adopt and implement certain enhancements to its policies and procedures relating to its ALLL and the methodology related thereto; and (viii) revise its internal audit program to ensure Bank adherence to an independent and comprehensive internal audit program. The Company may also become subject to formal or informal enforcement actions by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

While subject to the Agreement, we expect that our management and Board of Directors will be required to focus considerable time and attention on taking corrective actions to comply with its terms. We may also hire third party consultants and advisors to assist us in complying with the Agreement, which could increase our non-interest expense and reduce our earnings.

The Bank has appointed a committee to monitor compliance with the Agreement and is working to promptly address the requirements of the Agreement. There is no guarantee, however, that the Bank will successfully address the OCC’s concerns in the Agreement or that we will be able to comply with it. If we do not comply with the Agreement, we could be subject to civil monetary penalties, further regulatory sanctions and/or other enforcement actions.

Item 3.    Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.
