Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications are immaterial and had no effect on previously reported net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Louisiana Business Corporation Act

Effective January 1, 2015, companies incorporated under Louisiana law became subject to the Louisiana Business Corporation Act (which replaced the Louisiana Business Corporation Law). Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act eliminate the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares. As a result of this change in law, shares previously classified as treasury stock were reclassified as a reduction to issued shares of common stock in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, reducing the stated value of common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for credit losses, accounting for loans covered by loss sharing arrangements with the FDIC and the related loss share receivables, and determination of the fair value of net assets acquired in acquisitions.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within the states of Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee. The Company’s lending activity is concentrated in its market areas in those states. The Company has emphasized originations of commercial loans and private banking loans, defined as loans to larger consumer clients. Repayments on loans are expected to come from cash flows of the borrower and/or guarantor. Losses on secured loans are limited by the value of the collateral upon default of the borrowers. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.
