In 2007, we acquired Indianapolis-based Landmark Financial Corporation. The acquisition merged Landmark Savings Bank, FSB, into the Bank. The Landmark acquisition added a small number of deposit customers, primarily from Central Indiana, to the Bank; more importantly, it added a turnkey retail mortgage lending operation that we could expand through our Internet platform. More recently, we have added commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending, including nationwide single tenant lease financing and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) lending, including business banking/treasury management services to meet the needs of high-quality underserved commercial borrowers.

We also offer single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis.

Strategic Focus
We operate on a national basis inthrough our scalable Internet banking platform to gather deposits and offer residential mortgage and consumer (retail) activities andlending products rather than relying on a regionalconventional brick and mortar branch system. We also primarily conduct commercial banking and related activities on a local basis, except for single tenant lease financing which is offered nationwide. Our overriding strategic focus is enhancing franchise and shareholder value while maintaining strong risk management policies and procedures. We believe the continued creation of franchise and shareholder value will be driven by profitable growth in consumer and commercial banking, effective underwriting, strong asset quality and efficient technology-driven operations.
National Focus on Deposit and Consumer Banking Growth. Our first product offerings were basic deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, electronic bill pay and credit cards. Within 90 days of opening, we had accounts with consumers in all 50 states. Over the years, we added consumer loans, lines of credit, home equity loans and single-family mortgages. Our footprint for deposit gathering and these consumer lending activities is the entire nation. With the use of our commercial (wholesale) activities. To achieve this objective,Internet-based technology platform, we are pursuing the following strategies:

Grow Nationwide Internet Activities.We offer our retail products and services throughout the United States through our web-based operations. Our retail banking offering appeals to consumers who require online access to their accounts but do not need a branch networkface geographic boundaries that traditional banks must overcome for making deposits or conducting transactions in person. We believe that we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of the consumer-driven shift from branch banking to direct banking. We believe Internet banking is now the preferred banking channel by consumers. According to a 2011 American Bankers Association survey, the number of bankcustomer acquisition. Armed with smart phones, tablets and computers, our customers who prefer to do their banking online increased from 21% to 62% between 2007 and 2011, while those who prefer branch banking has declined from 39% to 20% over the same period.

Ourcan access our online banking platform is outsourcedsystem, bill pay, and is scalable without requiring additional fixed-cost investments to support growth.

Increase Non-Interest Income.remote deposit capture 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on a real-time basis. In 2012,addition, we closed 2,623 residential mortgage loans. This was a 109% increase over 2011. Over 97% of these loans were sold into the secondary market, thereby contributing to non-interest income and not increasing the Bank’s assets.

Increase Loan Volume and Diversify Loan Portfolio. While maintaining a conservative approach to lending, we expect to continue to pursue growth in our CRE and C&I loan portfolios. We entered into these markets by hiring teams of experienced bankers with lending expertise in specific industries and giving them authority to make certain pricing and credit decisions, avoiding the bureaucratic structure of larger banks. During 2012, these portfolios grew from $45.6 million to $99.2 million,have dedicated banking specialists who can service customer needs via telephone, email or 117.5%, and represented 28.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012.

Maintain Sound Asset Quality. We strive to maintain the sound asset quality that has been representative of our recent operations. As we continue to diversify and increase our lending activities, we may face higher rates of nonpayment and other increased risks.online chat. We intend to continue to employ the strict underwriting guidelinesexpand our deposit base by leveraging technology and comprehensivethrough cross-selling capabilities as well as targeted marketing efforts.

Commercial Banking Growth.We have continued to diversify our operations by adding commercial banking to complement our consumer platform. We offer traditional CRE loans, single tenant lease financing, C&I loans, corporate credit cards and treasury management services. Our commercial lending teams consist of seasoned commercial bankers, most of whom have had extensive careers with larger money center, super-regional or regional banks. These lenders leverage deep market knowledge and experience to serve commercial borrowers with a relationship-based approach. We are continuing to develop new products and services for this market which is expected to produce additional revenue. We also intend to grow and expand our commercial banking platform by hiring additional seasoned loan review process that have contributedofficers and relationship managers with specialized market or product expertise.
Experience.Our management team and our Board of Directors are integral to our low incidencesuccess. Our management team and Board of nonperforming assetsDirectors are led by David B. Becker, the founder of First Internet Bank of Indiana. Mr. Becker is a seasoned business executive and minimal charge-offs in relation to our size.

Continue Focus on Technology and Efficiency. We have invested significantlyentrepreneur with over three decades of management experience in the infrastructure requiredfinancial services and financial technology space, and has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2005. Mr. Becker has been the recipient of numerous business awards, including Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2001, and was inducted into the Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame in 2008. The senior management team consists of individuals with backgrounds in both regional and community banking and financial technology services. The senior management team is complemented by a dedicated Board of Directors with a wide range of experience from careers in financial services, legal and regulatory services, and industrial services.

Profitability. We intend to operate a real-time, Internet-only business modelcontinue to leverage our technology, our long-term customer relationships and our noninterest income sources to drive profitability. As we continue to grow, we believe that our existing data processing infrastructure can accommodate additional growth while minimizing operational costs through economiesmodel will produce a greater level of scale. Our core banking platform is licensed software operatedefficiency than more traditional community banks, with the goal of higher returns on assets and maintained by Bank employees. Expanded banking operations could require additional software license or hardware costs in order to support the growth; however, these expenses are not expected to be significant. shareholders’ equity.
Maintain Asset Quality, Diversified Loan Portfolio and Effective Underwriting. We planplace an emphasis on our strong credit culture and strict underwriting standards of diverse loan products to maintain our stringent cost control practicesexcellent credit quality. As of December 31, 2015, the composition of our loan portfolio was 38.4% consumer loans, 61.1% commercial loans and policies.

0.5% net deferred loan origination costs and premiums and discounts on purchased loans. As of December 31, 2011, the composition of our loan portfolio was 82.9% consumer loans, 16.1% commercial loans and 1.0% net deferred loan origination costs and premiums and discounts on purchased loans.

Efficiency Through Technology. To date, we have pursued growth in a prudent and disciplined fashion. We will continue to monitor our efficiency ratio and intend to invest in and utilize technology to compete more effectively as we grow in the future. Through our online account access services, augmented by our team of dedicated banking specialists, we can satisfy the needs of our retail and commercial customers in an efficient manner. Our data processing systems run on a “real-time” basis, unlike many banks that run a “batch system,” so customers benefit from an up-to-the-minute picture of their financial position, particularly our commercial customers who complete numerous transactions in a single day. We believe we have built a scalable banking infrastructure based upon technology, rather than a traditional branch network, and that our Internet banking processes are capable of supporting continued growth while improving operational efficiencies.
Expand Market Share Through Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. Strategy. We may expand through acquisitions on an opportunistic basis, primarily as a means of securing additional asset generation for example, by acquiring a bank with an established SBA loan program.

Lending Activities

Residential Mortgage Lending.

We offer first-lien residential mortgage loans in 49 states and second-lien (home equity)earn interest income on loans as well as home equity linesfee income from the origination of credit in 44 states. We offer loans for homebuyers (purchase money) as well as existing homeowners who wish to refinance their current loans. The low interest rate environment has made refinancing an attractive opportunity for homeowners in the past two years. Approximately 81%, 81% and 87% of the loans we originated in 2010, 2011 and, 2012, respectively, were refinances. While we expect the low interest rate environment to continue, we have begun introducing programs to increase the proportion of purchase money loans, as this will provide a reliable stream of business in a rising rate environment.

We attract creditworthy loan applicants through disciplined online lead generation efforts and through repeat business from past customers. We track our acquisition costs vigilantly and discontinue any lead sources that are not contributing to a positive margin. We use customer relationship management tools to track prospects and identify the most likely sales opportunities on which to focus our efforts. For 2012, the weighted average credit score of our mortgage customer was 775 at time of origination.

We currently sell the vast majority of our conforming conventional (fixed rate)Lending activities include loans to the secondary market and thereby avoid the potential interest rate riskindividuals, which primarily consist of these loans. We retain variable rate non-conforming (jumbo)residential real estate loans, in our portfolio. As rates rise, we will have the opportunity to retain conforming conventional loans on an opportunistic basis.

We also actively promote home equity loans and lines of credit, through our Internet channel, leveraging our robust yet easy-to-use customer-facing toolset. We continue to expand our efforts to complement our first lien product.

Consumer Lending. While we offerand consumer loans, and credit cards through our websiteloans to a nationwide consumer base, the majority of our consumercommercial clients, which include commercial loans, have been acquired through indirect dealer networks, primarily horse trailers and recreational vehicles (RVs). We expanded our recreational product dealer network in 2011 and implemented a new loan origination system in Q1 2012 to improve the customer experience and document tracking.

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Lending. We began offering CRE loans in Indiana and other parts of the Midwest in 2010. We have a team of five full-time employees, most with large regional bank experience. We expect that the majority of our CRE loans will be in office, retail, industrial, and multifamily loans in the Midwest, with credit tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis. While many banks in Central Indiana must address legacy problem CRE loans in their portfolios, we are in a position to meet pent-up demand from qualified borrowers. In 2011, the first full year of CRE loan operations, we attracted $49.8 million in CRE loan commitments. In early 2012, we made an opportunistic purchase of a small commercial real estate loan pool consistingloans, lines of eight (8) seasoned term loans with an aggregate principal balancecredit, letters of $8.9 million.  The loans in this pool were secured by first mortgages oncredit, and single tenant commercial properties, each under long term lease arrangements to major national or regional companies.  This acquisition aligned with our newly formulated strategy to enter into the national credit tenant lease financing market.  Purchasing seasoned loans that fully amortized within the remaining lease terms also helped us with diversification of the loan portfolio as we began focusing on real estate markets over a wider geographical area with longer term leasing profiles and more predictable project cash flows.

We believe our CRE portfolio will continue its growth in two ways: (1) regionally, in more traditional short-term financing arrangements supporting local developers and conventional property types (office, retail, multi-family, industrial, residential development & construction) as well as (2) nationally, where we will concentrate on longer term financing of  properties occupied by single tenants committed to long-term leases with borrowers providing significant cash equity in relation to the debt structured. We entered the national credit tenant lease financing market in January 2012 with the purchase of a pool of eight loans as described above. We have not made any additional purchases of CRE loans, and such purchases are not part of our growth strategy.

Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Lending. Historically, we only originated C&I loans occasionally as a result of referrals we received from customers and third parties. We began focusing on C&I loan originations in the Central Indiana area in late 2011. We currently have a team of seven full-time employees, most with large regional bank experience and strong local relationships. The recent increase in our C&I lending activity is intended to further diversify our lending portfolio and increase opportunities for new business. In addition to commercial loan originations, C&I lending activity can result in new deposits, including fee income from treasury management products, and opportunities to cross-sell other products such as residential mortgage loans and consumer home equity and installment loans. New C&I customers (and their advisors) also serve as referral sources for additional new business opportunities. We recently began piloting expanded online account access and treasury management service capabilities in order to attract deposits from C&I borrowers (which diversifies our deposit mix and reduces our cost of funds) and to enhance our non-interest income.

Non-Performing Assets

Loans are reviewed at least quarterly and any loan whose collectability is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan. Restructured loans include troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal or making loans at a rate materially less than the market rate to borrowers whose financial condition had deteriorated. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in the settlement of loans. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses

The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision is one of our critical accounting policies that is subject to significant estimates, as previously discussed. The current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. We utilize a risk-rating system on non-homogenous CRE and C&I loans that includes regular credit reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial portfolio. Our management conducts quarterly reviews of the entire loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of these reviews.

Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan losses. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for loan losses.

The following table reflects allowance for loan losses and its allocations for the periods indicated.

Underwriting Procedures and Standards

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the Board of Directors. Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their years of experience in the lending field. Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple signatures and or approvals are required. Our chief credit officer has approval limits on individual loans up to $5 million and pool purchases up to $30 million. The maximum we could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2012 was approximately $8.1 million.

Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfoliofocusing on consumer, CRE and C&I loans. In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish concentration limits by borrower, product type, maturity, loan structure, industry and geography.To supplement our internal loan review resources, we have engaged an independent third-party loan review group, which together represent our internal loan review function. Our internal auditor reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Responsibility for loan underwriting, compliance and document monitoring reside with the compliance function and loan operations function.

Residential Real EstateLoans. Residential real estate loans generally include loans for the purchase or refinance of residential real estate properties consisting of 1-4 units and home equity loans and lines of credit.  We currently sell substantially all of the long-term fixed rate residential real estate loans that we originate to secondary market investors. We also release the servicing of these loans upon sale. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans. We typically retain in our portfolio all adjustable rate residential real estate loans that exceed the government maximum loan amount (which is currently $417,000) and also loans with balloon payment features.  Balloon periods are up to a maximum of 15 years.

financing. Residential real estate loans are typically underwritteneither kept in our loan portfolio or sold to conformsecondary investors, with gains or losses from the sales being recognized within noninterest income. Refer to industry standards including criteria for maximum debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios as well as minimum credit scores. Our underwriting focuses on appraised valueNote 4 of the collateral as well as the applicant’s ability to repay the loan from his or her employment and from other sources.  We verify an applicant’s credit information using third-party records and tax returns through the IRS.

Additionally, our residential mortgage underwriters use a third party product to assess the riskfinancial statements for further discussion of the loan transaction for both the collateral and applicant. The product helps us identify suspicious mortgage loans and analyzes the property and neighborhood characteristics for each transaction.  From the date of application to the date of closing all of an applicant’s credit activity is monitored.  All appraisals are reviewed by our collateral underwriter, who is an Indiana state certified appraiser.  The collateral underwriter has several third party products that help assess the quality of the appraisal, the comparables chosen, and the value determination. Loans secured by first liens on residential real estate held in the portfolio typically do not exceed 80% of the value of the collateral, are adjustable rate and have amortization periods of thirty years or less.

We do not offer, and have not offered, “subprime loans” (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios).

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of loans and credit cards. The majority of our consumer loans are horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans, underwritten by our staff for buyers whose applications were sent to us through a dealer network.  Minimum underwriting criteria have been established that consider credit score, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, the advance percentage and collateral coverage.  Typically, consumer loans are set up on monthly payments with amortization periods based on the type and age of the collateral.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Traditional CRE loans are comprised of loans to small business entities to purchase or expand structures in which the business operations are housed, loans to owners of real estate who lease space to non-related commercial entities, loans for construction and land development, and loans to owners of multi-family residential structures, such as apartment buildings.  CRE loans are underwritten primarily based on historical and projected cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the appraised value of the underlying real estate pledged as collateral on the debt. Credit tenant leases are to a major national or regional firm, typically to open a new store front or other core business operation. Credit tenant leases follow the same guidelines with additional focus on the global creditworthiness of the national or regional firm. For the various types of commercial real estate loans, minimum criteria have been established within our loan policy regarding debt service coverage while maximum limits on loan-to-value and amortization periods have been defined.  Maximum loan-to-value ratios range from 65% to 80% depending upon the type of real estate collateral, while the desired minimum debt coverage ratio is 1.20x. Amortization periods for commercial real estate loans are generally limited to twenty years. Our CRE loans represented 23.95% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012.

A CRE loan borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers of credit tenant lease loans to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable.

Commercial and Industrial Loans. C&I loans focus on the entire business relationship and consist of loans for business expansion as well as working capital loans used to purchase inventory and fund accounts receivable that are secured by business assets other than real estate.  These loans are generally written for three years or less. Also, new equipment financing is provided to businesses with these loans generally limited to 90% of the value of the collateral and amortization periods limited to seven years. C&I loans are often accompanied by a personal guaranty of the principal owners of a business. As with CRE loans, the underlying cash flow on a historic and projected basis of the business is the primary consideration in the underwriting process, with a desired minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.20x. We also assess the management’s operational effectiveness, level of equity invested in the business and customer relationships. We also consider relevant economic and industry factors, as well as competitor and supplier information relating to the applicant’s business.  The financial condition of commercial borrowers is monitored at least annually with the type of financial information required determined by the size of the relationship.  We address the needs of businesses with higher risk profiles through the use of government-assisted lending programs through the Small Business Administration. We determine the loan structure after evaluating what is appropriate for the specific situation and establish monitoring mechanisms for going forward.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

We obtain deposits through the ACH network (direct deposit as well as customer-directed transfers of funds from outside financial institutions), remote and mobile deposit capture, mailed checks, wire transfers and a deposit-taking ATM network. We do not currently solicit brokered deposits, althoughAdditionally, we had approximately $23.7 million and $18.3$12.8 million in brokered time deposits at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

2015 that were originated in prior years.

The Bank does not own or operate any ATMs. Through network participation, the Bank’s customers are able to use nearly any ATM worldwide to withdraw cash. The Bank currently rebates up to $6.00$10.00 per customer per month for surcharges our customers incur when using an ATM owned by another institution. Management believes this program is more cost effective for the Bank, and more convenient for customers, than it would be to build and maintain a proprietary nationwide ATM network for our customers.

By providing a robust online toolset,capabilities, quality customer service and a tremendous valuecompetitive pricing for the products and services offered, we have been able to develop relationships with our retail customers and build brand loyalty. The average retail checking or savings account has been open with us for more than eight years. As a result, we are not dependent upon costly account acquisition campaigns to attract new customers on a continual basis.

Market Areas

Our only office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The low cost of living in Indianapolis (a 2009Forbes study showed Indianapolis to be the most affordable place to live among the largest 40 MSAs in the United States) gives us access to highly skilled employees and office space at a competitive cost.

The market area for our retail banking activities, primarily residential mortgage andreal estate lending, consumer lending and deposit gathering activities is nationwide. The physical location of our office is of no consequence to our retail customers.

the entire United States. We serve CRE borrowers in surrounding states in the Midwest, while our more recent expansion into C&Ialso offer single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis. Our other commercial banking focuses on Central Indiana. Bothactivities, including CRE and C&I relationshipsloans, corporate credit cards, and corporate treasury management services, are highly dependent on strong lender/borrower relationships.

Competition

offered by our commercial banking team to businesses primarily within Central Indiana, Phoenix, Arizona, and adjacent markets.

Competition
The markets in which we compete to make loans and attract deposits are highly competitive.

For retail banking activities, we compete with other banks that use the Internet as a primary service channel, including Ally Bank, ING Direct, EverBank and Bank of Internet. However, we also compete with other banks, savings banks, credit unions, investment banks, insurance companies, securities brokerages and other financial institutions, as nearly all have some form of Internet delivery for their services. For residential mortgage lending, competitors that use the Internet as a primary service channel include Quicken Loans and Lending Tree.Loan Depot. However, we also compete with the major banks in residential mortgage lending, including Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo.

For our traditional commercial lending activities, we compete with larger financial institutions operating in the Midwest and Central Indiana regions, including Key Bank, PNC Bank, Chase, BMO Harris, First MerchantsHuntington National Bank and First Financial Bank. AllIn the Southwest, competitors include Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Bank of Arizona and CoBiz Bank. For our single tenant lease financing activities, we compete nationally with regional banks, local banks and credit unions, as well as life insurance companies and commercial mortgage-backed securities lenders. Examples of these competitors include Wells Fargo, Everbank and StanCorp. These competitors may have significantly greater financial resources and higher lending limits than we do, and may also offer specialized products and services that we do not. For our commercial clients, we offer a highly personalized relationship and fast, local decision making.

In the United States, banking has experienced widespread consolidation over the last decade leading to the emergence of several large nationwide banking institutions. These competitors have significantly greater financial resources and offer many branch locations as well as a variety of services we do not. We have attempted to offset some of the advantages of the larger competitors by leveraging technology to deliver product solutions and better compete in targeted segments. We have positioned ourselves as an alternative to banking conglomeratesthese institutions for consumers who do not wish to subsidize the cost of large branch networks through high fees and unfavorable rates.

We anticipate that consolidation will continue in the financial services industry and perhaps accelerate as a result of ongoing financial stress, intensified competition for the same customer segments and significantly increased regulatory burdens and rules that are expected to increase expenses and put pressure on revenues.

Regulation and Supervision

General

We

Because the Company is a public company, it is subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under these regulations, the Company is considered to be an accelerated filer and, as such, must comply with SEC reporting requirements applicable to accelerated filers.

The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under federal and state law. We areThe Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”) and, as such, areis subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). We areThe Company is required to file reports with the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis.

The Bank is an Indiana-chartered bank formed pursuant to the Indiana Financial Institutions Act (the “IFIA”). As such, the Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations promulgated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”)FDIC as its primary federal bank regulator. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The regulatory environment affecting usthe Company has been and continues to be altered by the enactment of new statutes and the adoption of new regulations as well as by revisions to, and evolving interpretations of, existing regulations. State and federal banking agencies have significant discretion in the conduct of their supervisory and enforcement activities and their examination policies. Any change in such practices and policies could have a material impact on ourthe Company’s operations and shareholders.

The following discussion is intended to be a summary of the material statutes, regulations and regulatory directives that are currently applicable to us. It does not purport to be comprehensive or complete and it is expressly subject to and modified by reference to the text of the applicable statutes, regulations and directives.

The Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) comprehensively reformed the regulation of financial institutions and the products and services.services they offer. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act noted in this section are also discussed in other sections. Furthermore, many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require further study or rulemaking by federal agencies, a process which will take months and years to implement fully.

Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act provides for new capital standards that eliminate or restrict the treatment of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital.capital based on the asset size of an institution. The Company has never issued any trust preferred securities. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised deposit insurance levels to $250,000, retroactive to January 1, 2008, and provided unlimited deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearingnoninterest-bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. Pursuant to modifications under the Dodd-Frank Act, deposit insurance assessments are now being calculated based on an insured depository institution’s assets rather than its insured deposits, and the minimum reserve ratio of the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) has been raised to 1.35%. The payment of interest on business demand deposit accounts is permitted by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the Federal Reserve to regulate interchange fees for debit card transactions and established new minimum mortgage underwriting standards for residential mortgages. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act barred certain banking organizations from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring and investing in hedge funds and private equity funds, except as permitted under certain limited circumstances. The Dodd-Frank Act empowered the newly established Financial Stability Oversight Council to designate certain activities as posing a risk to the U.S. financial system and to recommend new or heightened standards and safeguards for financial organizations engaging in such activities.

The Dodd-Frank Act also established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) as an independent bureauagency within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.Reserve System. The CFPB has the exclusive authority to prescribeadminister, enforce, and otherwise implement federal consumer financial laws, which includes the power to make rules, issue orders, and issue guidance governing the provision of consumer financial products and services, whichservices. The CFPB has exclusive federal consumer law supervisory authority and primary enforcement authority over insured depository institutions with assets totaling over $10 billion. Authority for institutions with $10 billion or less rests with the prudential regulator, and in the case of the Bank will be enforced by the FDIC. The CFPB was also required to establish four offices: 1) Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, 2) Office of Financial Education, 3) Office of Service Member Affairs, and 4) Office of Financial Protection for Older Americans. Additionally, the Bureau was required to establish a Consumer Advisory Board to advise and consult with the Bureau in the exercise of its functions. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the Office of Financial Research, which has the power to require reports from other financial services companies.


On December 10, 2013, five federal agencies published the final “Volcker Rule” pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the Volcker Rule imposes significant limitations on certain activities by covered banks and bank holding companies, including restrictions on holding certain types of securities, proprietary trading and private equity investing. Most of the limitations imposed by the Volcker Rule are not likely to impact smaller banks which do not engage in proprietary trading or private equity activities. However, the restrictions on investing in hedge funds and similar entities could impact the ability to invest in collateralized debt obligations and other investments that many smaller banks hold. On January 14, 2014, through publication of an Interim Final Rule, the federal banking agencies clarified that investments by banks in certain trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are not prohibited by the Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule did not have any material implications on the Bank or our investments or activities.
On October 3, 2015, the CFPB’s final rules on integrated mortgage disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act became effective.  The new disclosures are intended to improve disclosures to consumers and also contain tolerance limitations that may cause lenders to refund fees charged to consumers when certain costs vary between the initial and final disclosure.

Holding Company Regulation

We are subject to supervision and examination as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. In addition, the Federal Reserve has the authority to issue orders to bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound banking practices and from violations of conditions imposed by, or violations of agreements with, the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is also empowered, among other things, to assess civil money penalties against companies or individuals who violate Federal Reserve orders or regulations, to order termination of nonbanking activities of bank holding companies and to order termination of ownership and control of a nonbanking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Federal Reserve approval is also required in connection with bank holding companies’ acquisitions of more than 5% of the voting shares of any class of a depository institution or its holding company and, among other things, in connection with the bank holding company’s engaging in new activities.

Under the BHCA, our activities are limited to businesses so closely related to banking, managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve before (1) acquiring or holding more than a 5% voting interest in any bank or bank holding company, (2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

We have not filed an election with the Federal Reserve to be treated as a “financial holding company,” a type of holding company that can engage in certain insurance and securities-related activities that are not permitted for a bank holding company.

Source of Strength. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for the Bank in the event of the financial distress of the Bank. This provision codifies the longstanding policy of the Federal Reserve. Although the Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to issue regulations to implement the source of strength provisions, no regulations have been promulgated at this time. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its depository subsidiaries are subordinate to the payment of deposits and to certain other indebtedness. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a depository subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Regulatory Capital. The Federal Reserve sets risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. Under the guidelines and related policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and a leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The guidelines provide a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures expressly into account in evaluating capital adequacy and minimizes disincentives to holding assets considered by regulatory agencies to be liquid and low-risk. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into risk-weighted categories, with higher weighting assigned to categories perceived as representing greater risk. The risk-based ratio represents total capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets adjusted as specified in the guidelines. The Bank, supervised by the FDIC and DFI, is subject to substantially similar capital requirements. Our applicable capital ratios as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized in Note 13 to the financial statements.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. bank holding companies. The FDIC adopted substantially identical standards for institutions, like the Bank, subject to its jurisdiction in an interim final rule. The Basel III Capital Rules implement requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. These rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to depository institutions and their holding companies, including the Company and the Bank. The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for all banks as of January 1, 2015, subject to certain phase-in periods for some requirements.

Among other things, the Basel III Capital Rules (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) apply most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures to CET1 and not to the other components of capital, thus potentially requiring higher levels of CET1 in order to meet minimum ratios, and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments from capital in comparison to current regulations.

As of December 31, 2015, the minimum capital ratios under Basel III Capital Rules were: 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets, 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, 8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted assets and 4.0% leverage ratio.

In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above each level applicable to the CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios will be required for banking institutions like the Company and the Bank to avoid restrictions on their ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and pay certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The following are the Basel III regulatory capital levels that the Company and the Bank must satisfy to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends, and discretionary bonus payments during the applicable transition period from January 1, 2015, until January 1, 2019:
 Basel III Regulatory Capital Levels

Total capital to risk-weighted assets8.00% 8.625% 9.25% 9.875% 10.50%

The Basel III Capital Rules provide for multiple new deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one category exceeds 10% of total CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Implementation of these adjustments began on January 1, 2015, and will be phased in over the following four years.

The Basel III Capital Rules also revise the prompt corrective action framework by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement at each capital level, with a required CET1 ratio to remain well-capitalized at 6.5%, (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being increased to 8% and (iii) transitioning to a leverage ratio of 4% in order to qualify as adequately capitalized and a leverage ratio of 5% to be well-capitalized.

The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were then effective.

Regulation of Banks Generally

Business Activities.The. The Bank derives its lending and investment powers from the IFIA, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and related regulations.

Loans-to-One Borrower Limitations. Generally, the Bank’s total loans or extensions of credit to a single borrower, including the borrower’s related entities, outstanding at one time, and not fully secured, cannot exceed 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. If the loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, the Bank may lend up to an additional 10% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.

Capital Requirements—Generally. FDIC regulations require insured non-member banks generally to meet three minimum capital standards:

a ratio of tangible capital to adjusted total assets (tangible capital ratio) of not less than 1.5%;

“Tangible capital” for this purpose is defined to include common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related earnings and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles and investments in certain “non-includable” subsidiaries.

a ratio of “core capital” to adjusted total assets (“Tier 1 Capital Ratio” or “leverage ratio”) of not less than 4%; and

“Core capital” (also called “Tier 1 Capital”) is defined similarly to tangible capital, but also includes certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased credit card relationships.

a ratio of total capital (core and supplementary) to total risk-weighted assets (“Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio”) of not less than 8%, provided that the amount of supplementary capital used to satisfy this requirement may not exceed the amount of core capital.

“Supplementary capital” (also called “Tier 2 Capital”) for this purpose is defined to include cumulative and certain other preferred stock, mandatory convertible debt securities, subordinated debt and the allowance for loan and lease losses (up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). In addition, up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with a readily determinable fair value may be included in Tier 2 Capital.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of the risk-based capital requirements, the Bank’s balance sheet assets and the credit conversion values of certain off-balance sheet items are multiplied by specified risk-weights, generally ranging from 0% for cash and obligations issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies to 100% for consumer and commercial loans, as specified by the FDIC regulations based on the degree of risk deemed to be inherent in the particular type of asset.

The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement its capital adequacy requirements through the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, a bank is “well capitalized” if it has: (1) a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.0% or greater; (2) a Tier 1 (Core) risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; (3) a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (4) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A bank is “adequately capitalized” if it has: (1) a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8.0% or greater; (2) a Tier 1 (Core) risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater; and (3) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized” savings association.

Regulators also must take into consideration: (1) concentrations of credit risk, (2) interest rate risk and (3) risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage those risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital. This evaluation will be made as a part of the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination.

Generally, a bank, upon receiving notice that it is not adequately capitalized (i.e., that it is “undercapitalized”), becomes subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA that, for example, (1) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees, (2) require that the FDIC monitor the condition of the bank and its efforts to restore its capital, (3) require submission of a capital restoration plan, (4) restrict the growth of the bank’s assets and (5) require prior regulatory approval of certain expansion proposals. A bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guarantee by each company that controls the bank. A bank that is “critically undercapitalized” (i.e., has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%) will be subject to further restrictions, and generally will be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days.

We are also subject to capital adequacy regulations of the Federal Reserve. These capital requirements are substantially similar to those applicable to the Bank. For bank holding companies, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 4% and the minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio is 8%. In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve requires top rated bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier 1 capital (defined by reference to the risk-based capital guidelines) to its average total consolidated assets of at least 3.0%. For most other bank holding companies, the minimum leverage ratio is 4.0%. Bank holding companies with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as bank holding companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels. The following summarizes our applicable capital ratios as of December 31, 2012:

Bank  54,036   8.8%  24,653   4.0%  30,817   5.0%

In June 2012, the federal banking agencies issued notices of proposed rulemaking that would replace the current risk-based and leveraged capital requirement consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”) in response to the recent financial crisis (collectively, “Basel III”). The proposed revisions would include implementation of a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and, for banking organizations subject to the advanced approaches capital rules, a supplementary leverage ratio that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator measure. Additionally, consistent with Basel III, the agencies proposed to limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of common equity tier 1 capital as well as more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital. The revisions were also intended to implement section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires the agencies to establish minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements. The revised capital requirements were to become effective on January 1, 2013; however in December 2012, the agencies announced that the effective date of the proposed revisions would be delayed for an unknown period of time. Accordingly, the Company is not yet in a position to determine the effect of Basel III on its capital requirements.

TARP/CPP. Under the Troubled Asset Relief Program established by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department established the Capital Purchase Program (“TARP/CPP”) by which the Treasury Department purchased senior preferred shares of participating holding companies or financial institutions. We determined that we did not need the capital infusion offered under the TARP/CPP, and so we never issued any preferred shares or other securities to the Treasury Department.

Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”), as implemented by FDIC regulations, the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound banking practices, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with its examinations of the Bank, to assess the Bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community and to take that record into account in evaluating certain applications for regulatory approvals that we may file with the FDIC.

The CRA regulations establish an assessment system that bases an association’s rating on its actual performance in meeting community needs. In particular, the assessment system focuses on three tests:

alending test, to evaluate our record of making loans in our local communities, defined as our CRA assessment areas;

aninvestment test, to evaluate our record of investing in community development projects, affordable housing and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and businesses in our CRA assessment areas or a broader area that includes our assessment areas; and
aservice test, to evaluate our delivery of services through our retail banking channels and the extent and innovation of our community development services.


Due to its Internet focus,Internet-driven model and nationwide consumer banking platform, the Bank does not have the kind of easily defined local community market that most other banks have. As a result, the Bank operateshas opted to operate under a CRA Strategic Plan, which was submitted to and approved by the FDIC and sets forth certain guidelines the Bank must meet in order to achieve a “Satisfactory” rating.meet. The current Strategic Plan expires December 31, 2014; the Bank may elect to submit a new plan for approval prior to that date.2017. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” CRA rating in its most recent CRA examination. Failure of an institution to receive at least a “Satisfactory” rating could inhibit such institution or its holding company from undertaking certain activities, including engaging in certain activities andor pursuing acquisitions of other financial institutions.

Transactions with Affiliates. The authority of the Bank, like other FDIC-insured banks, to engage in transactions with its “affiliates” is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W. An “affiliate” for this purpose is defined generally as any company that owns or controls the Bank or is under common ownership or control with the Bank, but excludes a company controlled by a bank. In general, transactions between the Bank and its affiliates must be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices and at least as favorable to the Bank as comparable transactions between the Bank and non-affiliates. In addition, covered transactions with affiliates are restricted individually to 10% and in the aggregate to 20% of the Bank’s capital. Collateral ranging from 100% to 130% of the loan amount depending on the quality of the collateral must be provided for an affiliate to secure a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank. The Company is an “affiliate” of the Bank for purposes of Regulation W and Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. TheWe believe the Bank is in compliance with these provisions.

Loans to Insiders. The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and principal stockholders,shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons (“Related Interests”), is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders: (1) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and (2) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the Bank’s capital. In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved in advance by the Bank’s boardBoard of directors.Directors. Further, provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require that after July 21, 2011, any sale or purchase of an asset by the Bank with an insider must be on market terms and if the transaction represents more than 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus it must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Bank. TheWe believe the Bank is in compliance with these provisions.

Enforcement. The DFI and the FDIC share primary regulatory enforcement responsibility over the Bank and its institution-affiliated parties (“IAPs”), including directors, officers and employees. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to appoint a conservator or receiver for the Bank, to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist orders, to seek judicial enforcement of administrative orders and to remove directors and officers from office and bar them from further participation in banking. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws, regulations and administrative orders, as well as in response to unsafe or unsound banking practices or conditions.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Pursuant to the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted a set of guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards. These guidelines establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings standards, compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. We believe we are in compliance with the safety and soundness guidelines.

Dividends. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is limited by state and federal laws and regulations that require the Bank to obtain the prior approval of the DFI before paying a dividend that, together with other dividends it has paid during a calendar year, would exceed the sum of its net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous two years. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay may also be limited by the principles of prudent bank management.

Capital Distributions. The FDIC may disapprove of a notice or application to make a capital distribution if:

the Bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution;


the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or


the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement applicable to the Bank.


Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank is a member of the DIF, which is administered by the FDIC. All deposit accounts at the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.

The FDIA, as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the FDIC to set a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposits—the designated reserve ratio (the “DRR”)—of at least 1.35%. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC introduced three possible adjustments to an institution’s initial base assessment rate: (1) a decrease of up to five basis points for long-term unsecured debt, including senior unsecured debt (other than debt guaranteed under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program) and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier 1 capital; (2) an increase not to exceed 50 percent of an institution’s assessment rate before the increase for secured liabilities in excess of 25 percent of domestic deposits; and (3) for non-Risk Category I institutions, an increase not to exceed 10 basis points for brokered deposits in excess of 10 percent of domestic deposits.

On November 9, 2010, the FDIC proposed to change its assessment base from total domestic deposits to average total assets minus average tangible equity which is defined as Tier 1 capital, as required in the Dodd-Frank Act. The new assessment formula became effective on April 1, 2011, and was used to calculate the June 30, 2011 assessment. The FDIC plans to raise the same expected revenue under the new base as under the current assessment base. Since the new base is larger than the current base, the proposal would lower the assessment rate schedule to maintain revenue neutrality. Assessment rates would be reduced to a range of 2.5 to 9 basis points on the broader assessment base for banks in the lowest risk category (well capitalized and CAMELS I or II) and up to 30 to 45 basis points for banks in the highest risk category.

FDIC insurance expense, including assessments relating to FICOFinancing Corporation (FICO) bonds, totaled $455,000, $727,000 and $939,000$0.6 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2015.

Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Liquidity. The Bank is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation. To fund its operations, the Bank historically has relied upon core deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLB”) borrowings, fed funds lines with correspondent banks FHLB of Indianapolis borrowings and brokered deposits. The Bank does not currently solicit brokered deposits. The Bank believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding obligations.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB, of Indianapolis, which is one of the regional Federal Home Loan Banks comprising the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a central credit facility primarily for its member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, of Indianapolis, is required to acquire and hold shares of FHLB capital stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis.stock. While the required percentage of stock ownership is subject to change by the FHLB, of Indianapolis, the Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB of Indianapolis stock at December 31, 20122015 of $2.9$8.6 million. Any advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis must be secured by specified types of collateral, and long-termlong term advances may be used for the purpose of providing funds to make residential mortgage or commercial loans and to purchase investments. Long term advances may also be used to help alleviate interest rate risk for asset and liability management purposes. The Bank receives dividends on its FHLB of Indianapolis stock.

Federal Reserve System. Although the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is subject to provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s regulations under which depository institutions may be required to maintain reserves against their deposit accounts and certain other liabilities. In 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks began paying interest on reserve balances. Currently, reserves must be maintained against transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). TheAs of December 31, 2015, the Federal Reserve’s regulations currently requirerequired reserves equal to 3% on transaction account balances over $10.7$14.5 million and up to $58.8$103.6 million, plus 10% on the excess over $58.8$103.6 million. These requirements are subject to adjustment annually by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the FDIC.

Anti-Money Laundering and the Bank Secrecy Act. Under the Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”), a financial institution is required to have systems in place to detect and report transactions of a certain size and nature. Financial institutions are generally required to report to the U.S. Treasury any cash transactions involving more than $10,000. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), which amended the BSA, is designed to deny terrorists and others the ability to obtain anonymous access to the U.S. financial system. The USA PATRIOT Act has significant implications for financial institutions and businesses of other types involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act, togetherin conjunction with the implementing regulationsimplementation of various federal regulatory agencies,agency regulations, has caused financial institutions, such as the Bank, to adopt and implement additional policies or amend existing policies and procedures with respect to, among other things, anti-money laundering compliance, suspicious activity, currency transaction reporting, customer identity verification and customer risk analysis.

The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These sanctions, which are administered by the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (1) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (2) blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (for example, property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC.

Consumer Protection Laws. The Bank is subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Home Ownership Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the “FACT Act”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), the Truth in Lending Act, the CRA, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the National Flood Insurance Act and various state law counterparts. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must interact with customers when taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans and providing other services. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has the responsibility for making and amending rules and regulations under the federal consumer protection laws relating to financial products and services. The CFPB also has a broad mandate to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts and practices and is specifically empowered to require certain disclosures to consumers and draft model disclosure forms. Failure to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations can subject financial institutions to enforcement actions, fines and other penalties. The FDIC will enforce applicable CFPB rules with respect to the Bank.

Interchange Fees. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve has issued a final rule governing the interchange fees charged on debit card transactions. The rule caps the interchange income that an issuing bank can receive from a debit card holder’s transactions. The rule became effective October 1, 2011. Although the rule does not directly apply to institutions with less than $10 billion in assets, market forces may result in point-of-sale networks paying the same reduced interchange rate to banks of all sizes. If that were to occur, the Bank would receive less income on its debit card customers’ transactions.

Mortgage Reform. The Dodd-Frank Act prescribes certain standards that mortgage lenders must consider before making a residential mortgage loan, including verifying a borrower’s ability to repay such mortgage loan. The Dodd-Frank Act also allows borrowers to assert violations of certain provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act as a defense to foreclosure proceedings. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, prepayment penalties are prohibited for certain mortgage transactions and creditors are prohibited from financing insurance policies in connection with a residential mortgage loan or home equity line of credit. The Dodd-Frank Act requires mortgage lenders to make additional disclosures prior to the extension of credit, in each billing statement and for negative amortization loans and hybrid adjustable rate mortgages. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits mortgage originators from receiving compensation based on the terms of residential mortgage loans and generally limits the ability of a mortgage originator to be compensated by others if compensation is received from a consumer.

Customer Information Security. The federal banking agencies have adopted final guidelines for establishing standards for safeguarding nonpublic personal information about customers. These guidelines implement provisions of the GLBA. Specifically, the Information Security Guidelines established by the GLBA require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of directors or an appropriate committee thereof, to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information (as defined under the GLBA), to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for banks on response programs for unauthorized access to customer information. This guidance, among other things, requires notice to be sent to customers whose “sensitive information” has been compromised if unauthorized use of this information is “reasonably possible.”

Identity Theft Red Flags. The federal banking agencies jointly issued final rules and guidelines in 2007 implementing Section 114 of the FACT Act and final rules implementing Section 315 of the FACT Act. The rules implementing Section 114 require each financial institution or creditor to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts. In addition, the federal banking agencies issued guidelines to assist financial institutions and creditors in the formulation and maintenance of an Identity Theft Prevention Program that satisfies the requirements of the rules. The rules implementing Section 114 also require credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of notifications of changes of address under certain circumstances. Additionally, the federal banking agencies issued joint rules, that became effective in 2008, under Section 315 that provide guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a consumer reporting agency sends the user a notice of address discrepancy.

Privacy. The GLBA requires financial institutions to implement policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. In general, the statute requires financial institutions to explain to consumers their policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such nonpublic personal information and, except as otherwise required or permitted by law, financial institutions are prohibited from disclosing such information except as provided in their policies and procedures. The Bank is required to provide notice to its customers on an annual basis disclosing their policies and procedures on the sharing of nonpublic personal information. In December 2009, the federal banking agencies promulgated regulations that incorporate a two-page model form that financial institutions may use to satisfy their privacy disclosure obligations under the GLBA. These regulations became effective in January 2011.


Cybersecurity. In March of 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If the Company fails to observe the regulatory guidance, it could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.

In support of its Internet banking platform, the Company relies heavily on electronic communications and information systems to conduct its operations and store sensitive data. The Company employs an in-depth approach that leverages people, processes, and technology to manage and maintain cybersecurity controls. In addition, the Company employs a variety of preventative and detective tools to monitor, block, and provide alerts regarding suspicious activity, as well as to report on any suspected advanced persistent threats. Notwithstanding the strength of the Company’s defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated and increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. Although to date the Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, its systems and those of its customers and third-party service providers are under constant threat and it is possible that the Company could experience a significant event in the future. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of Internet and mobile banking and other technology-based products and services, by the Company and its customers.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may result in significant restrictions on our activities, operations, financing and ownership.

We and the Bank are subject to extensive governmental regulation that is intended primarily to protect depositors and the DFI, rather than our shareholders. As a bank holding company, we are regulated primarily by the Federal Reserve. As an Indiana-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the DFI as chartering authority, and the FDIC as the primary federal regulator and deposit insurer. These regulators have the ability, should the situation require, to place significant regulatory and operational restrictions upon us and the Bank. The Bank’s activities are also regulated under consumer protection laws applicable to our lending, deposit and other activities.

Further, we may be required to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and new regulatory capital requirements intended to implement Basel III. Failure to comply with the new requirements may negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could be materially adverse to our investors.

Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous other matters including permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and investments; permissible nonbanking activities; the level of reserves against deposits; and restrictions on dividend payments. The DFI and FDIC possess the power to issue cease and desist orders to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks subject to their regulation, and the Federal Reserve possesses similar powers with respect to bank holding companies. These and other restrictions limit the manner in which we, and the Bank, may conduct business and obtain financing.

A failure of, or interruption in, the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We rely heavily upon communications and information systems to conduct our business. Although we have built a level of redundancy into our information technology infrastructure and update our business continuity plan annually, any failure or interruption of our information systems, or the third-party information systems on which we rely, as a result of inadequate or failed processes or systems, human errors or external events, could cause underwriting or other delaysadversely affect our Internet-based operations and could result in fewer applications being received, slowerslow the processing of applications, loan servicing, and reduced efficiency in servicing.deposit-related transactions. In addition, our communication and information systems may present security risks and could be susceptible to hacking or other unauthorized access. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business.

business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our planscommercial loan portfolio exposes us to growhigher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans, including risks relating to the success of the underlying business and conditions in the market or the economy and concentrations in our commercial loan portfolios may not succeed.

portfolio.

We may not succeed inare growing our plans to grow our CRE and C&I and CRE loan portfolios. Even if our plans can be implemented successfully, this may not result in the realizationAt December 31, 2015, C&I loans amounted to $102.0 million, or 10.7% of the expected benefits.total loans receivable, and CRE loans amounted to $480.9 million, or 50.4% of total loans receivable. These loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans and are dependent onupon our lenders maintaining close relationships with the borrowers. Payments on these loans are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying business or assets, and repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. Commercial loans typically involve larger loan balances than residential real estate or consumer loans and could lead to concentration risks within our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, our C&I loans have primarily been extended to small to medium sized businesses that generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities.Our failure to achieve or manage this growth could have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the quality of our assets, particularly loans. In originating loans, there is a substantial likelihood that credit losses will be experienced. The risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral. Although we and our regulators regularly review our loan portfolio and evaluate the adequacy of our allowance and believe that the allowance is adequate to absorb such probable losses, there can be no assurance that we will not experience losses in excess of the allowance and be required to increase our provision.

As of December 31, 2012, our allowance for loan losses was $5.8 million, which represented approximately 1.65% of total loans. We had $4.4 million in non-performing loans as of December 31, 2012. The allowance may not prove sufficient to cover future loan losses. Although management uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used or adverse developments arise with respect to our non-performing or performing loans. Accordingly, the allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover loan losses or significant increases to the allowance may be required in the future if economic conditions should worsen. Any increase in our provision could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, with respect to commercial real estate loans, federal and state banking regulators are examining commercial real estate lending activity with heightened scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement more stringent underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures. Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial real estate loans, the banking regulators may require us to maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain, which could limit our ability to leverage our capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Weakness in the economy may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, which continue to be uncertain and include sluggish economic growth, accompanied by historically low interest rates. Dramatic declines in the housing market following the 2008 financial crisis, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. While conditions have improved, a return to a recessionary economy could result in financial stress on our borrowers that would adversely affect consumer confidence, a reduction in general business activity and increased market volatility. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the financial markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. Our ability to properly assess the creditworthiness of our customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure would be made more complex by these difficult market and economic conditions. Accordingly, if market conditions worsen, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies, write-offs and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.
The market value of some of our investments could decline and adversely affect our financial position.

As of December 31, 2012,2015, we held $3.3had a net unrealized holding loss of approximately $1.9 million on the available for sale portion of our $213.7 million investment securities portfolio. In assessing the impairment of investment securities, we consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of investments in private label mortgage-backedthe issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and pooled trust securities which had an unrealized loss of $2.4 million. Althoughwhether we have the intent to sell the security or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We also use economic models to assist in the valuation of some of our investment securities. If our investment securities experience a decline in value, we would need to determine whether the decline represented an other-than-temporary impairment, has occurred, such models have limitations. Although we do not anticipate any decline in the value of these investments, if they experience an other-than-temporary impairment,which case we would be required to record a write-down or lossof the investment and a corresponding charge to our earnings.

Because our business is highly dependent on a technological platformtechnology that is subject to rapid change and transformation.

transformation, we are subject to risks of obsolescence.

The Bank conducts its consumer lending and deposit-gatheringdeposit gathering activities through the Internet. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change, and we face constant evolution of customer demand for technology-driven financial and banking products and services. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvement and product development, marketing and implementation. Any failure to successfully keep pace with and fund technological innovation in the markets in which we compete could have a material adverse impacteffect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may need additional capital resources in the future and these capital resources may not be available when needed or at all, without which our financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially impaired.

If we continue to experience significant growth, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to raise capital, if needed, will depend upon our financial performance and condition and on conditions in the capital markets, as well as economic conditions generally. Accordingly, such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

operations.

The competitive nature of the banking and financial services industry could negatively affect our ability to increase our market share and retain long-termlong‑term profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is strong. We compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere.nationwide. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and market presence than we do and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability to increase our market share and remain profitable on a long-termlong term basis. Our success will depend on the ability of the Bank to compete successfully on a long-termlong term basis within the financial services industry.

We rely on our management team and could be adversely affected by the unexpected loss of key officers.
Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon our management and the abilities of our senior executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the loss of our chief executive officer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets.
Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and deposit products may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of our clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, deposit gathering efforts and overall profitability.
Market interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, may negatively affect our ability to originate loans and leases, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately could affect our earnings.

An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the quality of our assets, particularly the credit quality of our loans. In originating loans, there is a substantial likelihood that credit losses will be experienced. We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions; and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on our financial statements. The allowance our management has established for loan losses may not be adequate to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. Continuing deterioration of economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses.
Bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. To the extent required charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we may need additional provisions to increase the allowance. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Consumer loans in our portfolio generally have greater risk of loss or default than residential real estate loans and may make it necessary to increase our provision for loan losses.
At December 31, 2015, our consumer loans, excluding residential mortgage loans and home equity loans, totaled $108.3 million, representing approximately 11.4% of our total loan portfolio at such date. The overwhelming majority of our consumer loans are horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans acquired through our indirect dealer network. Consumer loans generally have a greater risk of loss or default than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as horse trailer and recreational vehicles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. It may become necessary to increase our provision for loan losses in the event that our losses on these loans increase, which would reduce our earnings and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Portions of our commercial lending activities are geographically concentrated in the Midwest and Central Indiana, and changes in local economic conditions may impact their performance.
We offer our retail products and services throughout the United States through our web-based operations. However, both CRE and C&I relationships are highly dependent on strong lender/borrower relationships. We serve CRE borrowers primarily in Indiana and the surrounding Midwest states, and our more recent expansion into C&I lending has historically focused primarily on Central Indiana. Accordingly, the performance of our CRE and C&I lending depends upon demographic and economic conditions in those regions. The profitability of our CRE and C&I loan portfolio may be impacted by changes in those conditions. Additionally, unfavorable local or national economic conditions could reduce or limit the growth rate of our CRE and C&I loan portfolios for a significant period of time, or otherwise decrease the ability of those borrowers to repay their loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because of our holding company structure, we depend on capital distributions from the Bank to fund our operations.
We are a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank and have no business activities other than our ownership of the Bank. As a result, we primarily depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank to fund our obligations. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by state and federal law and depends generally on the Bank’s ability to generate net income. If we are unable to comply with applicable provisions of these statutes and regulations, the Bank may not be able to pay dividends to us, and we would not be able to pay dividends on our outstanding common stock and our ability to service our debt would be materially impaired.

Lack of seasoning of our commercial loan portfolios may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.
Due to our increasing emphasis on CRE and C&I lending, a substantial amount of the loans in our commercial loan portfolios and our lending relationships are of relatively recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process referred to as “seasoning.” A portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. As a result, because a large portion of our commercial loan portfolio is relatively new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A sustained decline in the mortgage loan markets or the related real estate markets could reduce loan origination activity or increase delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Historically, our mortgage loan business has provided a significant portion of our revenue and our ability to maintain or grow that revenue is dependent upon our ability to originate loans and sell them on the secondary market. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, income from mortgage banking activities was $5.6 million, and it was $9.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Mortgage loan originations are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market, and higher market interest rates, and has historically been cyclical, enjoying periods of strong growth and profitability followed by periods of lower volumes and market-wide losses. During periods of rising interest rates, refinancing originations for many mortgage products tend to decrease as the economic incentives for borrowers to refinance their existing mortgage loans are reduced. In addition, the mortgage loan origination business is affected by changes in real property values. A reduction in real property values could also negatively affect our ability to originate mortgage loans because the value of the real properties underlying the loans is a primary source of repayment in the event of foreclosure. The national market for residential mortgage loan refinancing has declined in recent years and future declines could adversely impact our business. Any sustained period of increased delinquencies, foreclosures or losses could harm our ability to originate and sell mortgage loans, and the price received on the sale of such loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Reputational risk and social factors may negatively affect us.

Our ability to attract and retain depositors and customers is highly dependent upon consumer and other external perceptions of our business practices and financial condition. Adverse perceptions could damage our reputation to a level that could lead to difficulties in generating and maintaining deposit accounts and accessing credit markets andas well as increased regulatory scrutiny of our business. Borrower payment behaviors also affect us. To the extent that borrowers determine to stop paying their loans where the financed properties’ market values are less than the amount of their loans, or for other reasons, our costs and losses may increase. Adverse developments or perceptions regarding the business practices or financial condition of our competitors, or our industry as a whole, may also indirectly adversely affect our reputation.

In addition, adverse reputational developments with respect to third parties with whom we have important relationships may adversely affect our reputation. All of the above factors may result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which may lead to laws or regulations that may change or constrain the manner in which we engage with our customers and the products we offer and may also increase our litigation risk. If these risks were to materialize, they could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent upon the services

A failure in or breach of our management team.

Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon our management and the abilitiesoperational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our senior executives. third party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.

We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attractprocess, record and retain highly skilledmonitor our client transactions on a continuous basis. As client, public and qualified management. Competitionregulatory expectations regarding operational and information security have increased, our operational systems and infrastructure must continue to be safeguarded and monitored for senior personnel is intense,potential failures, disruptions and breakdowns. Our business, financial, accounting and data processing systems, or other operating systems and facilities, may stop operating properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. For example, there could be electrical or telecommunications outages; natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes; disease pandemics; events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and, as described below, cyber-attacks. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our business operations may be adversely affected by significant and widespread disruption to our physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients. 

15



Information security risks for financial institutions such as ours have generally increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists and other external parties. As noted above, our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks. Our business relies on our digital technologies, computer and email systems, software and networks to conduct its operations. In addition, to access our products and services, our clients may use personal smartphones, tablets, personal computers and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we have information security procedures and controls in place, our technologies, systems, networks and our clients’ devices may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our or our clients’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our or our clients’ or other third parties’ business operations. 
Third parties with whom we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including financial intermediaries or vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to us, including from breakdowns or failures of their own systems or capacity constraints. Although to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a focus for us. As threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate information security vulnerabilities. 
Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients, or cyber-attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our clients use to access our products and services could result in client attrition, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, claims or litigation, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY
We operate in a highly regulated environment, which could restrain our growth and profitability.
We are subject to extensive laws and regulations that govern almost all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework that oversees the administration of these laws and regulations, are primarily intended to protect depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole, and not be successful in attractingshareholders. These laws and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnelregulations, among other matters, affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and their responsibilities may be disruptivegrowth. Compliance with the myriad laws and regulations applicable to our businessesorganization can be difficult and costly. In addition, these laws, regulations and policies are subject to continual review by governmental authorities, and changes to these laws, regulations and policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of these laws, regulations and policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways and often impose additional compliance costs. Further, any new laws, rules and regulations could make compliance more difficult or expensive. All of these laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework applicable to our industry, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses,business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular,
Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.
The Federal Reserve, the lossFDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a federal or state banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of our chief executive officeroperations had become unsatisfactory, or that we were in violation of any law or regulation, it may take a number of different remedial actions as it deems appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in our capital, to restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties against our officers or directors, to remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate our deposit insurance and place us into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory action against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations

Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase which would reduce our profitability.
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by its risk classification, which is based on its regulatory capital levels and the level of supervisory concern that it poses. High levels of bank failures during and following the financial crisis and increases in interestthe statutory deposit insurance limits have increased resolution costs to the FDIC and put significant pressure on the Deposit Insurance Fund. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the Deposit Insurance Fund, the FDIC increased deposit insurance assessment rates and charged a special assessment to all FDIC-insured financial institutions. Further increases in assessment rates or special assessments may occur in the future, especially if there are significant additional financial institution failures. Any future special assessments, increases in assessment rates or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could reduce our profitability and affect the value ofor limit our assets.

Like other financial institutions, we are subjectability to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income,pursue certain business opportunities, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and lease and deposit products may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan and lease volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of our clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our net interest spread, asset quality, origination volumebusiness, financial condition and overallresults of operations.

The short term and long term impact of recently adopted regulatory capital rules is uncertain and a significant increase in our capital requirements could have an adverse effect on our business and profitability.

Market interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to economic conditions

In July 2013, the FDIC and the policies of various governmental andFederal Reserve approved a new rule that substantially amends the regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, may negatively affect our abilityrisk-based capital rules applicable to originate loans and leases, the value of assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately could affect our earnings.

We are a holding company dependent on capital distributions from the Bank.

We are a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank and depend on dividends, distributionsthe Company. The final rule implements the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and other payments fromchanges required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule includes new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective for the Bank and the Company on January 1, 2015, and refines the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating these ratios. The new minimum capital requirements are: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to fund all paymentsrisk-based assets capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The final rule also establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5%, and will result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%; and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution will be subject to limitations on our obligations. paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that can be used for such actions.

The abilityapplication of more stringent capital requirements for both the Bank and the Company could, among other things, result in lower returns on equity, require the raising of additional capital, and result in regulatory actions constraining us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares if we were to pay dividends to us is limited by state and federal law and depends generally on the Bank’s ability to generate net income. If we arebe unable to comply with applicable provisionssuch requirements, any of these statutes and regulations, the Bank may not be able to pay dividends to us, and we would not be able to pay dividendswhich could have a material adverse effect on our outstanding common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

There is a limited trading market for our common stockbusiness and you may not be able to resell your shares.

Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 22, 2013; however, trading remains relatively limited. Although we expect that a more liquid market for our common stock will develop, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to resell shares of common stock at an attractive price or at all.

Federal banking laws limit the acquisition and ownership of our common stock.

Because we are a bank holding company, any purchaser of 5% or more of our common stock may be required to file a notice with or obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, or the BHCA. Specifically, under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, (1) any other bank holding company may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 5% or more of our common stock and (2) any person other than a bank holding company may be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.

Provisions of Indiana law and provisions of our Articles of Incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. profitability.

We are subject to certain anti-takeover provisionsnumerous laws designed to protect consumers, including the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.
The Community Reinvestment Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions. The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. A successful regulatory challenge to an institution’s performance under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Additionally, our ArticlesCommunity Reinvestment Act or fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directorssanctions, including damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, restrictions on expansion and restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also have the ability to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval and such preferred stockchallenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could be issued ashave a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal. These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us even if an acquisition might be in the best interest of our shareholders.

Our shares of common stock are not an insured deposit and as such are subject to loss of entire investment.

The shares of our common stock are not a bank deposit and will not be insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Your investment will be subject to investment risk, and you must be capable of affording the loss of your entire investment.

If we were to issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of our common stock and the value of such common stock could be adversely affected.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue classes or series of preferred stock, without any actionmaterial adverse effect on the part of the stockholders. The Board of Directors also has the power, without stockholder approval, to set the terms of any such classes or series of preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights and preferences over the common stock with respect to dividends or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our business, financial condition and other terms. If we issue preferred stock in the future that has a preference over the common stock with respect to the paymentresults of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of the common stock, the rights of holders of the common stock or the value of the common stock would be adversely affected.

We are subject to evolving and expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements. Our failure to adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business.

Although we

We are subject to extensive regulation as a financial institution until recently we have historically not beenand are also required to follow the corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a company whose stock is registered under the Exchange Act and traded on a national securities exchange. With the listing of our common stocklisted on the NASDAQ Capital Market we are subject to these requirements.Market. Compliance with these requirements means we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur in the pastbefore 2013 and are not reflected in our historical financial statements.statements prior to that time. Compliance will also requirerequires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and will require changes in corporate governance practices.reporting. Although we have reviewed, and will continue to review, our disclosure controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or frauds in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system will be met. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.

We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
The Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has recently engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, including our acquisition plans. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There is a limited trading market for our common stock and you may not be able to resell your shares.
Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 22, 2013 and we issued common stock through a follow-on public offering in late 2013; however, trading remains relatively limited. Although we expect that a more liquid market for our common stock will develop, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to resell shares of our common stock at an attractive price or at all.
The market price of our common stock can be volatile and may decline.
Securities that are not heavily traded can be more volatile than stock trading in an active market. Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly and may decline in response to a variety of factors including:
Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
Developments in our business or the financial sector generally;
Recommendations by securities analysts;
Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
News reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;
Perceptions in the marketplace regarding us or our competitors;
New technology used or services offered by competitors;
Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint venture or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
Regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business or operations; or
Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

18



General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.
Federal banking laws limit the acquisition and ownership of our common stock.
Because we are a bank holding company, any purchaser of certain specified amounts of our common stock may be required to file a notice with or obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended. Specifically, under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, (1) any other bank holding company may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 5% or more of our common stock and (2) any person may be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our common stock and will be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 25% or more of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.
Provisions of Indiana law and provisions of our articles of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. We are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Additionally, our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval and such preferred stock could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal.
Although these provisions do not preclude a takeover, they may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or deferring a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. Such provisions will also render the removal of the board of directors and of management more difficult and, therefore, may serve to perpetuate current management. These provisions could potentially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our shares of common stock are not an insured deposit and as such are subject to loss of entire investment.
The shares of our common stock are not a bank deposit and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. An investment in our common stock is subject to investment risk and an investor must be capable of affording the loss of the entire investment.
If we were to issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of our common stock and the value of such common stock could be adversely affected.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue classes or series of preferred stock, without any action on the part of our shareholders. The Board of Directors also has the power, without shareholder approval, to set the terms of any such classes or series of preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights and preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our business and other terms. If we issue preferred stock in the future that has a preference over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of holders of our common stock or the value of our common stock would be adversely affected.
We may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock in the future, which could dilute existing shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, generally without shareholder approval, to, among other things, issue additional shares of common stock up to a total of forty-five million shares or up to five million shares of preferred stock. The issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock could be dilutive to a shareholder’s ownership of our common stock. To the extent that currently outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, or to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase our common stock in the future and the options or warrants are exercised, our shareholders may experience further dilution. In addition, we may issue preferred stock that is convertible into shares of our common stock, and upon conversion would result in our common shareholders’ ownership interest being diluted. Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, shareholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of common or preferred stock. We and the Bank are required by federal and state regulatory authorities, as applicable, to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. Accordingly, regulatory requirements and/or deterioration in our asset quality may require us to sell common stock to raise capital under circumstances and at prices which result in substantial dilution.

If we default on our subordinated debt, we will be prohibited from paying dividends or distributions on our common stock.
During 2013, we issued a $3.0 million subordinated debenture to a third party, and during 2015, we issued $10.0 million in subordinated notes to a third party. The agreements under which the subordinated debenture and subordinated notes were issued prohibit us from paying any dividends on our common stock or making any other distributions to our shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable agreement.
Events of default generally consist of, among other things, our failure to pay any principal or interest on the subordinated debenture or subordinated notes, as applicable, when due, our failure to comply with certain agreements, terms and covenants under the agreement (without curing such default following notice), and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation relating to us.
If an event of default were to occur and we did not cure it, we would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to our shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any of our common stock, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock. Moreover, without notice to or consent from the holders of our common stock, we may enter into additional financing arrangements that may limit our ability to purchase or to pay dividends or distributions on our common stock.

The original scheduled maturity date of the loan iswas March 6, 2014. Effective March 6, 2014, the Company entered into an Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2015. Effective March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2016.  Effective February 26, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2017.

Dividends
The Company began paying regular quarterly cash dividends in 2013. We expectTotal dividends declared in 2015 were $0.24 per share. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any future cash dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of ourthe Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including ourits results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, of our operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraintsand contractual restrictions (including with respect to the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt), business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by ourthe Board of Directors.

During 2013, the Company issued a $3.0 million subordinated debenture to a third party, and during 2015, the Company issued $10.0 million in subordinated notes to a third party. The agreements under which the subordinated debenture and subordinated notes were issued prohibit the Company from paying any dividends on its common stock or making any other distributions to shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable agreement. If an event of default were to occur and the Company did not cure it, the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any common stock.
On June 21, 2013 the Company effected a three-for-two (3:2) stock split of outstanding common stock through the payment of a stock dividend of one-half of one share for each then-outstanding share of common stock.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we issued 1,439 deferred stock rights to our non-employee directors under our Directors’ Deferred Stock Plan and 5,192 shares of common stock under our 2012 Senior Management Bonus Plan.

During 2011 and 2012, we reported collectivethe twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net income was $8.9 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.8 million. During the same period, total assets increased by $132.5$4.3 million, or 26.3%. We increased$0.96 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and net loans in this period by $52.8income of $4.6 million, or 17.6%, from$1.51 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Net interest2013.

The increase in net income totaled $29.9of $4.6 million in 2011 and 2012. Duringfor the same period, our net interest spread on an annualized basis has been relatively steady at 2.57% and 2.49% for 2011 and 2012, respectively. Securities available for sale increased by $19.8 million, or 14.4%. Our regulatory capital ratios have remained well above all required minimums. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans declined from 3.17% in 2010 to 2.64% and 1.23% in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Due to our sustained record of performance, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share payable December 28, 2012, to holders of our common stock on December 10, 2012.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Endedtwelve months ended December 31, 2012 vs. Fiscal Year Ended2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2011

Interest income from loans for 2012 increased by $551,000, or 2.9%, compared to 20112014 was primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in net interest income and a $3.0 million increase in noninterest income. This was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in income tax expense, a $2.6 million increase in noninterest expense and a $1.6 million increase in provision for loan losses.


The decrease in net income of $43.5$0.3 million in average loans outstanding.

Interest expense from deposits for 2012 decreased by $1.1 million, or 13.2%,the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2011the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in noninterest income, a $2.2 million increase in noninterest expense and a $0.6 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in net interest income.


During the low rate environment.Despite an increase of $62.9 million in thetwelve months ended December 31, 2015, return on average balance of interest bearing deposits, theassets and return on average cost of funds decreased by 0.46%.

Provision for loan losses increased by $412,000, or 16.9%shareholders’ equity were 0.81% and 8.89%, from 2011 to 2012 as a result of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which includes an analysis of the overall size and composition of the portfolio as well as a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured which considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, loan loss experience and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material change to the borrower’s ability to pay the loan upon maturity. Provision expense improvements in 2012 occurred due to reduced delinquencies and charge-off activity which offset the impact of the growth within loans on the balance sheet.

Gain on loans sold during 2012 increased by $7.0 million, or 188.5%,respectively, compared to 2011, primarily due to increased loan origination0.50% and 4.61%, respectively, for refinancing within the residential mortgage department. The ongoing low rate environment has made refinancing existing mortgages an attractive option for consumers.

Other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges in our securities portfolio decreased by $374,000, or 59.7%, compared to 2011. Management’s evaluation of the securities portfolio in 2012 indicated OTTI losses on three securities. The amortized cost remaining on securities with OTTI losses totaled $2.0 million as oftwelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Loss on asset disposals decreased by $959,000, or 91.2%2014, and 0.67% and 7.10%, in 2012, primarily asrespectively, for the result of the write off in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $368,000 representing the full value of our investment in an Indiana financial institution which disclosed that it may be unable to continue as a going concern. The Bank also wrote down a commercial property held as Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) by $288,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition, the Bank recognized a $189,000 gain on liquidation of a commercial property in OREO in the third quarter of 2012.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.2 million, or 60.6%, reflecting the addition of 23 full time employees during 2012 compared to 2011.

2015 v. 2014

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $30.8 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 38.0%, compared to $22.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Net interest margin was 2.85% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2.65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $236.6 million, or 28.1%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, as well as changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet, which resulted in an increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds related to interest-bearing liabilities.

The increase in net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, was also due to volume and rate priora $10.2 million, or 32.8%, increase in total interest income to $41.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $31.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 19.8%, increase in total interest expense to $10.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $8.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase of $222.3 million, or 35.2%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, as well as an increase in interest earned on securities resulting from an increase of $28.1 million, or 18.3%, in the average balance of securities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the allocation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s primary source of funds is dividends from the Bank, the declaration of which is subjectincrease in total interest income was also due to regulatory limits. Historically, the Company has not had significant demands for the use of its cash. However, we declared a special dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock21 basis point (“bp”) increase in the fourth quarter of 2012. At December 31, 2012, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $782,000 in cash generally available for its cash needs.

On March 18, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2013 of $0.06 per share payable April 15, 2013 to shareholders on April 1, 2013. We expect to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directorsyield earned on the basissecurities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the yield earned on loans, including loans held-for-sale, of our financial condition, earnings, regulatory constraints and other factors.

At December 31, 2012, we had $189.2 million7 bps.


The increase in cash and investment securities available for sale and $63.2 milliontotal interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in loans held for sale that were generally available for our cash needs. At December 31, 2012, we had the abilityinterest expense related to borrow an additional $23.1 million in FHLB advances and correspondent bank fed funds line of credit draws.

At December 31, 2012, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $33.6 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2012, totaled $78.9 million; however, due to our competitive rates, we believe that a majority of maturinginterest-bearing deposits will remain with the Bank.

Bank-owned life insurance increased 41.4% from the end of 2011 as a result of a $131.1 million, or 18.5%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decline of 4 bps in the cost of funds related to these deposits. Interest expense related to other borrowed funds also contributed to the increase in total interest expense, due to a $94.3 million, or 207.5%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decline of 142 bps in the cost of other borrowed funds.

Net interest margin was 2.65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2.67% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $187.2 million, or 28.6%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The modest decline in net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was driven primarily by the decline in market interest rates during 2014 as the yield on interest-earnings assets decreased 19 bps and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 bps.

The increase in net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, was also due to a $5.7 million, or 22.2%, increase in total interest income to $31.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $25.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a $0.8 million, or 10.4%, increase in total interest expense to $8.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $8.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase of $195.9 million, or 45.0%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, which was offset by a decrease in interest earned on securities resulting from a decrease of $27.1 million, or 15.0%, in the average balance of securities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in total interest income was also partially offset by a 48 bp decline in the yield earned on the securities portfolio and a 37 bp decline in the yield earned on loans, including loans held-for-sale.

The increase in total interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits as a result of a $141.2 million, or 24.9%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, partially offset by a decline of 13 bps in the cost of funds related to these deposits. Interest expense related to other borrowed funds also contributed to the increase in total interest expense, due to a $14.0 million, or 44.3%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, partially offset by a decline of 109 bps in the cost of other borrowed funds.

The increase of $2.6 million, or 11.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $0.5 million in consulting and professional services, an increase of $0.3 million in marketing, advertising and promotion, and an increase $0.1 million in deposit insurance premium expenses, slightly offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in premises and equipment expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth, increased equity compensation expense, and increased bonus expense. The increase in bonus expense was primarily attributable to improved profitability in 2015, which resulted in senior management earning annual cash bonuses under the 2015 Senior Management Bonus Plan. In 2014, there were no cash bonuses earned under the 2014 Senior Management Bonus Plan because the threshold criterion for payment was not met. The increase in consulting and professional services was due primarily to an increase in legal and other professional fees consistent with the Company's balance sheet and operational growth as well as increased regulatory compliance matters. The increase in marketing, advertising and promotion was due to higher sponsorships and online channel origination costs related to the increase in mortgage origination activity.

2014v.2013

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $22.7 million, compared to $20.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $2.2 million, or 10.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was due to an increase of $2.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $0.7 million in premises and equipment, and an increase of $0.1 million in deposit insurance premium expenses, partially offset by decreases of $0.4 million in marketing, advertising and promotion, $0.3 million in consulting and professional services, and $0.2 million in loan expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority
Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the board of directors of the Bank. Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their years of experience in the lending field. Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple approvals may be required. Based on the Company’s legal lending limit, the maximum the Bank could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2015 was $16.9 million.
Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfolio. In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish concentration limits by borrower, product type, industry and geography. To supplement our internal loan review resources, we have engaged an independent third-party loan review group, which is includeda key component of our overall risk management process related to credit administration.

A loan is designated as impaired, in other assets increased by 142.6% during 2012, primarily asaccordance with the resultimpairment accounting guidance when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the transitionloan agreement. Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a single commercialreduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Nonperforming loans are comprised of total nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate loan into OREO during the fourth quarterowned and other nonperforming assets, which consist of 2012 representing $2.6 million. The balance of OREOrepossessed assets. Nonperforming assets also included investments that were classified as other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 was $3.7 million.

Other assets, excluding OREO, decreased by 10.0% since the end of 2011 reflecting aand 2011.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses on securities availableand the related provision is one of our critical accounting policies that is subject to significant estimates, as discussed within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section below. The current level of the allowance for sale impacting mark-to-market adjustments within deferred taxes.

Total deposits increased 9.0% from the end of 2011. Due to recent economic conditions, consumers have maintained higher cash balances in bank deposit accounts such as money market savings and short term time deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $5.9 million during 2012, asloan losses is a result of net incomemanagement’s assessment of $5.6the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on non-homogenous commercial loans that includes regular credit reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial portfolio. Management conducts quarterly reviews of the entire loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of these reviews.

Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan losses. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.4 million and anas of December 31, 2015, compared to $5.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase of $598,000$2.6 million, or 44.0%, was due primarily to the continued growth in accumulatedcommercial loan balances. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded net recoveries of $0.6 million, compared to net recoveries of less than $0.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the net recoveries were driven primarily by a $0.5 million recovery of an investor commercial real estate loan that had been previously charged-off and a $0.4 million recovery of a residential mortgage loan, of which $0.3 million related to the recapture of principal previously charged-off. The recoveries were partially offset by charge-offs of $0.6 million in residential mortgage and other comprehensive incomeconsumer loans. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the net recoveries were driven primarily by a $0.5 million recovery of an investor commercial real estate loan. The recoveries were mostly offset by charge offs of $0.9 million, primarily related to residential mortgage and other consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable increased to 0.88% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 0.79% as of December 31, 2014, and as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 5,000.6% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 1,959.5% as of December 31, 2014. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable was primarily driven by a $2.6 million increase in the allowance related to total commercial loans at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.  Under the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology, commercial loans are assigned higher reserve factors than consumer loans.  Since December 31, 2014, commercial loan growth has outpaced consumer loan growth, and as of December 31, 2015, total commercial loans represented 61.1% of total loans receivable compared to 47.9% as of December 31, 2014.  The combination of higher growth and higher reserve factors related to commercial loans resulted in the increased percentage of allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was also due to increased unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities.

At December 31, 2012, the Companyincrease in the allowance for loan losses and the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital minimum requirements, and the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulations. We believe our capital resources are sufficient to meet our current and expected needs, including any cash dividends we may pay; however, if we continue to experience significant growth, we may require additional capital resources. Although we have limited experiencedecline in raising additional capital, we believe the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market will improve our ability to access capital markets when necessary by enhancing the marketability of our common stock.

These two securities are Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) that are backed by pools of debt securitiesissued by financial institutions. The collateral of the ALESCO CDO consists of trust-preferred securities (“TruPS”) and subordinated debt securities issued by banks and bank holding companies. The collateral of the PreTSL CDO consists of TruPS and subordinated debt securities of insurance companies. Performing collateral is the amount of remaining collateral less the balances of collateral in deferral or default. Subordination is the amount of performing collateral in excess of the current balance of a specified class of notes and all classes senior to the specified class.  Excess subordination is the amount that the performing collateral balance exceeds the outstanding bonds in the current class, plus all senior classes. It is a static measure of credit enhancement, but does not incorporate all of the structural elements of the security deal. This amount can also be impacted by future defaults and deferrals, deferring balances that cure or redemptions of securities by issuers. A negative excess subordination indicates that the current performing collateral of the security would be insufficient to pay the current principal balance of the class notes after all of the senior classes notes were paid.

However, the performing collateral balance excludes the collateral of issuers currently deferring their interest payments. Because these issuers are expected to resume payment in the future (within five years of the first deferred interest period), a negative excess subordination does not necessarily mean a class note holder in the CDO will not receive a greater than projected or even full payment of cash flow at maturity.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company was receiving “payment in kind” (“PIK”), in lieu of cash interest on the ALESCO trust preferred securities investment. The Company’s use of “PIK” does not indicate that additional securities have been issued in satisfaction of any outstanding obligation; rather, it indicates that a coverage test of a class or tranche directly senior to the class in question has failed and interest received on the PIK note is being capitalized, which means the principal balance is being increased. Once the coverage test is met, the capitalized interest will be paid in cash and current cash interest payments will resume.

The Company’s CDOs both allow, under the terms of the issue, for issuers to defer interest for up to five consecutive years. After five years, if not cured, the securities are considered to be in default and the trustee may demand payment in full of principal and accrued interest. Issuers of the securities in the collateral pool are also considered to be in default in the event of the failure of the issuer or a subsidiary. The structuring of these CDOs provides for a waterfall approach to absorbing losses whereby lower classes or tranches are initially impacted and more senior tranches are only impacted after lower tranches can no longer absorb losses. Likewise, the waterfall approach also applies to principal and interest payments received, as senior tranches have priority over lower tranches in the receipt of payments. Both deferred and defaulted issuers are considered non-performing, and the trustee calculates, on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, certain coverage tests prior to the payment of cash interest to owners of the various tranches of the securities. The coverage tests are compared to an over-collateralization target that states the balance of performing collateral as a percentage of the tranche balance plus the balance of all senior tranches. The tests must show that performing collateral is sufficient to meet requirements for the senior tranches, both in terms of cash flow and collateral value, before cash interest can be paid to subordinate tranches. As a result of the cash flow waterfall provisions within the structure of these securities, when a senior tranche fails its coverage test, all of the cash flows that would have been paid to lower tranches are paid to the senior tranche and recorded as a reduction of the senior tranches’ principal. This principal reduction in the senior tranche continues until the coverage test of the senior tranche is passed or the principal of the tranche is paid in full. For so long as the cash flows are being diverted to the senior tranches, the amount of interest due and payable to the subordinate tranches is capitalized and recorded as an increase in the principal value of the tranche. The Company’s CDO investments are in the mezzanine tranches or classes which are subordinate to one of more senior tranches of their respective issues. The Company is receiving PIK for the ALESCO CDO due to failure of the required senior tranche coverage tests described. This security is currently projected to remain in full or partial PIK status for a period of three years.

The impact of payment of PIK to subordinate tranches is to strengthen the position of the senior tranches by reducing the senior tranches’ principal balances relative to available collateral and cash flow.  The impact to the subordinate tranches is to increase principal balances, decrease cash flow, and increase credit risk to the tranches receiving the PIK. The risk to holders of a security of a tranche in PIK status is that the total cash flow will not be sufficient to repay all principal and capitalized interest related to the investment.

During the third quarter of 2009, after analysis of the expected future cash flows and the timing of resumed interest payments, the Company determined that placing the ALESCO CDO on non-accrual status was the most prudent course of action. The Company stopped all accrual of interest and never capitalized any PIK interest payments to the principal balance of the security.  The Company intends to keep this security on non-accrual status until the scheduled interest payments resume on a regular basis and any previously recorded PIK has been paid. The PIK status of this security, among other factors, indicates potential OTTI and accordingly, the Company utilized an independent third party for the valuation of the CDOs as of December 31, 2012. Based on this valuation and the Company’s review of the assumptions and methodologies used, the Company believes the amortized costs recorded for its CDO investments accurately reflects the position of these securities at December 31, 2012.

Within the valuation performed, the default and recovery probabilities for each piece of collateral were formed based on the evaluation of the collateral credit and a review of historical industry default data and current/near-term operating conditions. For collateral that has already defaulted, the Company assumed no recovery. For collateral that was in deferral, the Company assumed a recovery of 10% of par for banks, thrifts or other depository institutions, and 15% of par for insurance companies. Although the Company conservatively assumed that the majority of the deferring collateral continues to defer and eventually defaults, also recognizes there is a possibility that some deferring collateral may become current at some point in the future.

TruPS CDOs are typically subject to five-year (in rare instances ten-year) no call provisions.  At the expiration of these lockout periods, they are typically freely callable at par.  As most of TruPS within CDOs were issued before 2008, most securities are now freely callable at par.  Although less common, some issuances are callable before the end of a lock out period at a premium (levels varying from issuer to issuer and typically depending on how close to the end of the no call period).  Additionally, there exists a provision in most trust preferred indentures that allow for the securities to become callable at par (even during the lockout period) if there is an adverse capital treatment event.

Prepayment assumptions are predicated on the terms and pricing of TruPS relative to prevailing current market conditions, as well as regulatory and legislative developments that may affect issuers’ decision to prepay. There were no significant changes made within the prepayment assumptions during 2012. Most TruPS have a five-year call option – meaning that, on the fifth anniversary of issuance, the issuer has the right to redeem the security at par. Additionally, most trust preferred security indentures include language that permits an issuer to call the security if an adverse capital treatment event occurs. These provisions allow issuers to redeem their TruPS at virtually any time if a legislative or regulatory development changes the TruPS’ status as a component of Tier 1 capital. The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in July 2010, constituted such an event for certain bank holding companies. Specifically, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $15 billion or more can no longer treat as Tier 1 Capital any hybrid capital instruments (such as TruPS) issued on or after May 19, 2010. Furthermore, the ability of these institutions to continue to treat as Tier 1 Capital any hybrid capital instruments, including TruPS, issued before May 19, 2010, will be phased out incrementally over a period of three years, beginning January 1, 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that the terms and pricing of TruPS issued by banks and insurance companies were so aggressive that it is unlikely that financing on such attractive terms will become available in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the favorable capital treatment of these securities (i.e. status as Tier 1 capital) makes them a particularly attractive debt instrument. Simply put, refinancing does not make sense from either an economic or regulatory capital standpoint. Therefore, we assume that the bulk of the TruPS collateral does not prepay over the life of the CDO. However, in light of legislative developments, we have instituted a 40% prepayment assumption rate for those banks with assets greater than $15 billion for two years corresponding to the start of the phase-out period for Tier 1 capital treatment – and, subsequently, an annual prepayment rate assumption of 2%. The 40% prepayment rate was the result of a detailed analysis of the terms of those TruPS issued by banks with assets in excess of $15 Billion. Specifically, we looked to the contractual interest rate of these instruments (i.e. fixed rate or spread over LIBOR) and compared them to current debt market rates of the issuing institutions. The bulk of the TruPS within the CDOs were issued at rates inside of current market debt yield (thus making refinancing prohibitively expensive). For issuers that have made a public announcement of intent to redeem their outstanding TruPS, we assume an immediate prepayment. Additionally, we assume immediate prepayment for TruPS issued by banks with greater than $15 billion in assets and a fixed coupon of 7% or greater. The bulk of the issuances with coupons greater than 7% were issued at rates wider than current market debt yield (thus making refinancing certain). Similarly, for those TruPS issued by banks with assets between $2 billion and $15 billion and coupons greater than 7%, we assume a constant annual prepayment rate of 5%. This rate is meant to reflect the possibility that some mid-size banks with limited access to the capital markets may choose to refinance the relatively high cost debt despite the remaining positive capital treatment of their TruPS.

At present there is no prepayment rate being applied to insurance collateral.  This is due to the de minimus rate of prepayment observed for insurance collateral.  As stated above, the impact of a prepayment would be positive for insurance only CDOs.  Additionally, unlike large banks which experienced a “taking away” of preferential capital treatment, insurance companies were never subject to such an adverse event and thus have no new incentive to prepay. There would be no increase in credit loss when adding a 1% prepayment assumption.  However, there would be an increase in fair value of approximately one point.

For CDOs with only bank collateral, such as the ALESCO CDO, generally senior tranches experience increased value and no credit loss effect with increased prepayment assumptions, while mezzanine tranches typically experience increased credit loss when collateral prepayment assumptions are increased.  Typically redemptions are completed by issuers with stronger credit and/or higher coupon paper (as higher coupon paper has a higher probability of redemption due to refinancing options).  Issuers with stronger credit are more likely to continue making interest payments (less likely to default) and higher coupon paper accounts for higher interest proceeds available to pay tranches in the CDO.  The mezzanine tranches benefit from these heightened interest proceeds over time and prepayments compromise the likelihood of those payments.

For CDOs with only insurance collateral, such as the PreTSL CDO, given the significant amounts of subordination and excellent asset coverage (due to the absence of material credit events), prepayments would have a positive effect on fair value for nearly all tranches and is unlikely to cause impairment.There would be no increase in credit loss when adding a 1% prepayment assumption.  However, there would be an increase in fair value of approximately one and a half points.

Investment Maturities

The total amount of securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months is comprised of municipal, mortgage-backed and other securities. Our management periodically evaluates each available-for-sale security available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is temporary or other than temporary. Theother-than-temporary. As of December 31, 2015, the unrealized losses arein the Company’s investment securities portfolio were due solely to interest rate changes and we havechanges. The Company has the ability and intent to hold all investment securities with identified impairments resulting from interest rate changes to the earlier of the forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security. As of December 31, 2012, we2015, the Company did not have any investment securities of a single issuer, which were not governmental or government-sponsored, that constitutedexceeded 10% or moreof shareholders’ equity.

The approximate fair value of investment securities available-for-sale increased $76.2 million, or 55.4%, to $213.7 million as of December 31, 2015 compared to $137.5 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to increases of $24.2 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $21.5 million in municipal securities, $14.4 million in asset-backed securities and $19.1 million in corporate securities, partially offset by a decrease of $4.0 million in mortgage-backed securities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company deployed funds generated through deposit growth to purchase additional securities to further diversify the securities portfolio and enhance net interest income, while supporting liquidity and interest rate risk management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, including any cash dividends it may pay, the Company intends to continue pursuing its growth strategy, which may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure such capital at favorable terms, its ability to execute its growth strategy could be adversely affected.

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company supplements deposit growth and enhances interest rate risk management through borrowings, which are generally advances from the FHLB.

The Company maintains cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments. At December 31, 2015, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $239.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits and investment securities available-for-sale and $36.5 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for its cash needs. The Company can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At December 31, 2015, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $99.0 million in advances from the FHLB and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At December 31, 2015, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $6.9 million in cash generally available for its cash needs.
The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2015, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $131.9 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2015 totaled $287.7 million. Generally, the Company believes that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

In March 2013, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from the Bank for the purchase of the Company’s principal executive offices. The original scheduled maturity date of the loan was March 6, 2014. Effective March 6, 2014, the Company entered into an Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2015. Effective March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2016.  Effective February 26, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2017. The loan bears interest during the term at a variable rate equal to the then applicable prime rate (as determined by the Bank with reference to the “Prime Rate” published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.00% per annum. The loan agreement contains customary warranties and representations, affirmative covenants and events of default. The loan agreement provides that the loan is to be secured by a first priority mortgage and lien on the acquired property and requires that the Company, at all times, maintain collateral securing the loan with an “as is” market value of not less than 1.3 times the principal balance of the loan.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This annual report on Form 10-K contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, average tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets are used by management to measure the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following table.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Allowance for Loan Losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An estimate of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio areis determined and an allowance for those losses is established by considering factors including historical loss rates, expected cash flows, and estimated collateral values. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses quarterly. If the underlying assumptions later prove to be inaccurate based on subsequent loss evaluations, the allowance for loan losses is adjusted.


38



Management estimates the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses by separately evaluating impaired and non-impaired loans. A specific allowance is assigned to an impaired loan when expected cash flows or collateral do not justify the carrying amount of the loan. The methodology used to assign an allowance to a non-impaired loan is more subjective. Generally, the allowance assigned to non-impaired loans is determined by applying historical loss rates to existing loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for qualitative factors including changes in economic conditions, changes in underwriting standards, and changes in the levelconcentrations of credit risk, associated with specific industries and markets.changes in industry conditions. Because the economic and business climate in any given industry or market, and its impact on any given borrower, can change rapidly, the risk profile of the loan portfolio is periodically assessed and adjusted when appropriate. Notwithstanding these procedures, there still exists the possibility that the assessment could prove to be significantly incorrect and that an immediate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses would be required.

Investment

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We classify investments in debt and equity securities as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 320, “Accounting“Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Securities classified as held-to-maturity would be recorded at cost or amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Fair value calculations are based on quoted market prices, when such prices are available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are computed using a variety of pricing sources, including Reuters/EJV, Interactive Data and Standard & Poors. Due to the subjective nature of the valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these investments could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, management evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred and management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, a further determination is made as to the portion of impairment that is related to credit loss. The impairment of the investment that is related to the credit loss is expensed in the period in which the event or change occurred. The remainder of the impairment is recorded in other comprehensive income.

income (loss).

Other Real Estate Owned.Owned (“OREO”). OREO acquired through loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The adjustment at the time of foreclosure is recorded through the allowance for loan losses. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the asset is acquired, the actual fair value of the OREO or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate. If it is determined that fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation adjustment is recorded through non-interestnoninterest expense. OperatingNet operating costs associated with the assets after acquisition are also recorded as non-interestnoninterest expense. Gains and losses on the disposition of OREO and foreclosed assets are netted and posted through non-interestnoninterest income.

Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the Company’s previous acquisition of Landmark Financial Corporation, goodwill, an intangible asset with an indefinite life, is reflected on the balance sheet. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, unless there are factors present that indicate a potential impairment, in which case, the goodwill impairment test is performed more frequently than annually.

frequently.

Deferred Income Tax Assets/Liabilities. Our net deferred income tax asset arises from differences in the dates that items of income and expense enter into our reported income and taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for these items as they arise. From an accounting standpoint, deferred tax assets are reviewed to determine if they are realizable based on the historical level of taxable income, estimates of future taxable income and the reversals of deferred tax liabilities. In most cases, the realization of the deferred tax asset is based on future profitability. If we were to experience net operating losses for tax purposes in a future period, the realization of deferred tax assets would be evaluated for a potential valuation reserve.

Additionally, management reviews our uncertain tax positions annually under ASC Subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” An uncertain 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 actually recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. A significant amount of judgment is applied to determine both whether the tax position meets the “more likely than not” test as well as to determine the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized. Differences between the position taken by management and that of taxing authorities could result in a reduction of a tax benefit or increase to tax liability, which could adversely affect future income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11. The objective of this ASU is

Refer to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this ASU. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On July 27, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-02. The amendments in this Update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On August 27, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-03. This Update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics. These amendments are presented in two sections – AmendmentsNote 21 to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification®Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions to extend credit and Amendmentsforms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We enter into forward contracts relating to our mortgage banking business to hedge the XBRL Taxonomy. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU,exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On October 1, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-04. The amendments in this Update make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various topics throughout the codification. These amendments are presented in two sections—Technical Corrections and Improvements and Conforming Amendments Related to Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this Update that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU for the period endedfrom our mortgage loans held-for-sale. At December 31, 2012,2015 and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or resultsDecember 31, 2014, we had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes gains$42.7 million and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments$55.1 million, respectively. These contracts mature in the Update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information required within this Update is already required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The new amendments will require an organization to:

·Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income–but only if the item reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.
·Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense.

The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and the ASU is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, which clarifies the scope of transactions that are subject to the disclosures about offsetting. The Update clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, Update 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification® or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Issued in December 2011, Update 2011-11 was the result of a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Its objective was to improve transparency and comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards by requiring enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset on the statement of financial position or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and the value of the Company’s equity resulting from changes in market interest rates and arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. The Company seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates.
The Company monitors its interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company uses EVE sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. The Company continually reviews and refines the assumptions used in its interest rate risk modeling.
Presented below is the estimated impact on the Company's NII and EVE position as of December 31, 2015, assuming parallel shifts in interest rates:
 % Change from Base Case for Parallel Changes in Rates
 
-100 Basis Points 1
 +100 Basis Points +200 Basis Points
NII - next twelve months(1.06)% 0.11 % 0.21 %
EVE1.60 % (5.16)% (9.52)%

Not applicable.

1 Because certain current interest rates are at or below 1.00%, the 100 basis point downward shock assumes that certain corresponding interest rates approach an implied floor that, in effect, reflects a decrease of less than the full 100 basis point downward shock.
The Company’s objective is to manage the balance sheet with a bias toward asset sensitivity while simultaneously balancing the potential earnings impact of this strategy. A “risk-neutral” position refers to the absence of a strong bias toward either asset or liability sensitivity.  An “asset sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate higher net interest income when interest rates, primarily short-term rates, increase as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice.  A “liability sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate lower net interest income when short-term interest rates increase as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates earned on interest-earning assets.

Report of Management's Report onAssessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

This annual report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting or an attestation reportfor the Company, including accounting and other internal control systems that, in the opinion of management, provide reasonable assurance that (1) transactions are properly authorized, (2) the assets are properly safeguarded, and (3) transactions are properly recorded and reported to permit the preparation of the company'sconsolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 has been audited by BKD, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, due to a transition period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Item 9B.Other Information.

On March 28, 2013, we entered into a new employment agreement with David Becker. This information is being reported in compliance with item 5.02(e) of the Current Report on Form 8-K. The new agreement replaces the employment agreement that had been last amended January 1, 2007.

The new agreement provides for an annual base salary and an annual bonus, if any, as determined form time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The annual bonus is to be determined with reference to the achievement of annual performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee for Mr. Becker and other senior officers. The new agreement also provides that Mr. Becker may be awarded additional compensation, benefits or consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine. The initial term of the new agreement expires on December 31, 2013, and will be automatically extended for successive one year terms unless we or Mr. Becker provide notice otherwise at least ninety (90) days before the expiration of the then existing term.

The new agreement provides that if Mr. Becker's employment is terminated by us for cause, or by him without good reason, he will be paid the amounts then due for his services through the date of termination. If the executive's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason he will be paid, in twelve equal monthly payments beginning the month following termination, an amount equal to two times his then-annual base salary plus two times the amount of the annual bonus he was paid for the calendar year preceding the termination. If Mr. Becker's employment is terminated due to his death or disability he or his estate, as the case may be, will be paid within thirty days, an amount equal to 120% of the annual bonus he was paid for the calendar year preceding the termination. If his employment terminates or is not renewed or if he resigns for any reason with twelve months following a change in control of us, he will be paid, in twelve equal monthly payments beginning the month following the end of his employment, an amount equal to three times his then-current base salary plus two times the amount of the annual bonus he was paid for the calendar year preceding the termination; provided, however, the total payments will be limited to the maximum amount that could be paid to him without imposing excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the executive's employment is terminated for any reason outlined in this paragraph then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all restrictions on any outstanding incentive awards, including equity awards will lapse and become 100% vested.

In addition to other customary terms, the new agreement requires Mr. Becker to maintain confidentiality of trade secrets and other confidential information and entitles him to indemnification, subject to certain customary exceptions, by us against claims against him arising in connection with the performance of his duties. In addition, the new agreement provides that Mr. Becker will not work for or own any enterprise in competition with us in the United States for two years from the date of termination or expiration of his employment. Mr. Becker also agrees not to solicit any of our employees to work in a competing enterprise or interfere with any of our business relationships for the same period.

The new employment agreement is being filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders

First Internet Bancorp

Indianapolis,

Fishers, Indiana


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20122015 and 2011,2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. The Company'sCompany’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Internet Bancorp as of December 31, 20122015 and 2011,2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years thenin the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), First Internet Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 10, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Internet Bancorp
Fishers, Indiana

We have audited First Internet Bancorp’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, First Internet Bancorp

maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of First Internet Bancorp and our report dated March 10, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Estimates most susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of securities available for sale.

ŸSecurities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as “securities held for trading” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

ŸSecurities not classified as either held to maturity or trading securities are classified as “securities available for sale” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Declines in the value of debt securities and marketable equity securities that are considered to be other than temporary are recorded as an other-than-temporary impairment of securities available for sale with the unrealized losses recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Gains and losses from security sales or disposals are recognized as of the trade date in the consolidated statements of operationsincome for the period in which securities are sold or otherwise disposed of. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined onusing the specific-identification method.

Loans Held for Sale

Held-for-Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under best-efforts pricing agreements are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income.

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements are carried at fair value to facilitate hedging of the loans. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are included in noninterest income.

Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income on loans is based on the principal balance outstanding and is recognizedaccrued as earned onusing the interest method based on unpaid principal balances except for interest on loans in nonaccrual status.

Loans

Receivable

Loans that management has the intent and abilityintends to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses Methodology

Company policy is designed to ensure thatmaintain an adequate allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) will be maintained.. Primary responsibility for ensuring that the Company has processes in place to consistently assess the adequacy of the ALLL rests with the Board.Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board has charged the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)management with responsibility for establishing the methodology to be used and to assess the adequacy of the ALLL quarterly. Quarterly, theALLL. The Board will reviewreviews recommendations from the CFOmanagement on a quarterly basis to adjust the allowance as appropriate.

The methodology employed by the CFOmanagement for each portfolio segment, will, at a minimum, containcontains the following:


1.Loans will beare segmented by type of loan.

First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

2.The required ALLL for types of performing homogeneous loans which do not have a specific reserve will beis determined by applying a factor based on historical losses averaged over the past 12twelve months. In those instances where the Company’s historical experience is not available, the CFO will developmanagement develops factors based on industry experience and best practices.


3.All criticized, classified and impaired loans will beare tested for impairment by applying one of three methodologies:


a.Present value of future cash flows;


b.Fair value of collateral less costcosts to sell; or


c.The loan’s observable market price


4.All troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are considered impaired loans.


5.Loans tested for impairment will beare removed from other pools to prevent layering (double-counting).


6.The required ALLL for each group of loans will beare added together to determine the total required ALLL for the Company. The required ALLL will beis compared to the currentexisting ALLL to determine the provision required to increase the ALLL or credit to decrease the ALLL.

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands except per share data)

The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based onconsiders two weighted average net charge-off trends: 1) the actualCompany’s average loss history experienced by the Company over the prior 12 months.previous sixteen quarters; and 2) average loss history over the previous sixteen quarters for a peer group. Management believes the historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed.

We

The Company also factorfactors in the following qualitative considerations:


1.Changes in policies and procedures;


2.Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions;


3.Changes in the composition and size of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;


4.Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;


5.Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;


6.Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system;


7.Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;


8.The existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and


9.The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.


During 2015, management elected to further segment the presentation of the Company’s loan portfolio.  The revised segmentation groups loans with similar characteristics, allows for greater insight of qualitative considerations and is consistent with how the Company manages its loan portfolio. This revision did not have a material impact on the overall balance of the allowance. December 31, 2014 loan balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of each loan portfolio segment’s risk characteristics.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to operationsincome based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibilityrepayment may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management endeavorsattempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.

ASC Topic 310,Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.

Nonaccrual Loans

Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or hasfor which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest will be reversed from interest income. Placing the loan on nonaccrual status does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to repay interest. A loan placed on nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest has been brought current, and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and interest.

Impaired Loans

A loan is designated as impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.

Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR)

(“TDR”)

The loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a TDR, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation efforts and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally not less than six months.

When loans are modified in a TDR, any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans is evaluated based on either the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If it is determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded balance of the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowanceALLL or charge-off to the allowance.ALLL. In periods subsequent to modification, all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, are evaluated for possible impairment, and impairment is recognized through the allowance.

Policy for Charging Off Loans

A loan should be generally charged off at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collectablecollected within the parameters of policy. A secured loan generally should be charged off to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally should be charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest. All charge-offs are approved by the Chief Credit Review Committee.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)(“FHLB”) of Indianapolis Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold common stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This investment is stated at cost, which represents redemption value, and may be pledged as collateral for FHLB advances.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real

Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded at its fair value less estimated costs to sell. When property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value at the date of acquisition with any resulting write-down charged against the allowance for loan losses.ALLL. Any subsequent deterioration of the property is charged directly to operating expense. Costs relating to the development and improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding and maintaining the property are charged to expense as incurred.

Equipment

Equipmentequipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years.

years for software and equipment, ten years for land improvements, and 39 years for buildings.


Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.
Each of these items are considered derivatives, but are not designated as accounting hedges, and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company records or discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in a valuation hierarchy. ASC Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 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 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

There were no transfers that occurred and, therefore, recognized, between any of the fair value hierarchy levels at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based upon the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period, subject to an ongoing assessment of realization of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, Indiana, and Indianaother state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

ASC Topic 740-10,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is solely related to unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Reclassification adjustments have been determined for all components of other comprehensive income or loss reported in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Statements of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on-hand, noninterest and interest-bearing amounts due from other banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions and deposit transactions.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank-owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value. The Company recognizes tax-free income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Current Economic Conditions

The current protracted economic uncertainty continues to present financial institutions with circumstances and challenges which in some cases have resulted in large declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and significant credit quality problems. Due to national, state and local economic conditions, values for commercial and development real estate have declined significantly, and the market for these properties is slowly recovering. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company. Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity. Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require material adjustments to asset values or the allowance for loan losses for regulatory capital purposes that could affect the Company’s measurement of regulatory capital and compliance with the capital adequacy guidelines under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 20112014 and 2013 financial statements to conform to the 20122015 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Note 2:Cash and Cash Equivalents

Corporate Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal securitiesorganizations and corporate entities were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than notthat the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarilyother-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investmentinvestments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basisbases over the term of the securities. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than notthat the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarilyother-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012.

The Company’s unrealized losslosses on the Company’s investments in other securities is primarily made up of two investments. The first investment is a $2,000 parwere caused by the investment in I-PreTSL I B-2 pooled trust security. The unrealized loss was primarily caused by a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The Company currently expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the investment. The determination of no credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment.Community Reinvestment Act Qualified Fund.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company routinely conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate investment securities to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities.

An other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized on a $2,000 par investment in ALESCO IV Series B2 pooled trust security. The unrealized loss was primarily caused by (a) a decrease in performance and (b) a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The Company currently expects ALESCO IV to settle the security at a price less than the contractual amount of the investment (that is, the Company expects to recover less than the entire amortized cost basis of the security). The Company has recognized a loss equal to the credit loss, establishing a new, lower amortized cost basis. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its new, lower amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the remainder of the investment in ALESCO IV to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012.

For identified mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio, an extensive, quarterly review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other than temporary. The most significant inputs are voluntary prepay rates, default rates, liquidation rates and loss severity.

To determine if the unrealized loss for mortgage-backed securities is other than temporary, the Company projects total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiplies that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. The Company also evaluates the current credit enhancement underlying the bond to determine the impact on cash flows. If the Company determines that a given mortgage-backed security position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Company records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.

The credit losses recognized in earnings during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:


Commercial Real Estate: These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Industrial: Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and theindustrial loans’ source of repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value and other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated marketing areas unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus nonowner occupied loans.

Commercial: Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made onguarantee.

Construction: Construction loans are secured by real estate and improvements and are made to assist in the construction of new structures, which may include commercial (retail, industrial, office, multi-family) properties or single family residential properties offered for sale by the builder. These loans generally finance a variety of project costs, including land, site preparation, construction, closing and soft costs and interim financing needs. The cash flows of builders, while initially predictable, may fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of the collateral securing these loans may be subject to fluctuations based on general economic changes.
Single Tenant Lease Financing: These loans are made to property owners of real estate subject to long term lease arrangements with single tenant operators. The real estate is typically operated by regionally, nationally or globally branded businesses.  The loans are underwritten based on the financial strength of the borrower, characteristics of the real estate, cash flows generated from the lease arrangements and the financial strength of the tenant.  Similar to collect amounts due from its customers.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8.9. A description of the general characteristics of the 8nine risk grades is as follows:

·Grades 1 & 2
“Pass” (Grades 1-5) - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

“Special Mention” (Grade 6) - Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserve close attention.

“Substandard” (Grade 7) - Loans that possess a defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

“Doubtful” (Grade 8) - These grades are assigned to loans with very high credit quality borrowers of investment or near investment grade or where the loan is primarily secured by cash or conservatively margined high quality marketable securities. These borrowers are generally publicly traded, have significant capital strength, possess investment grade public debt ratings, demonstrate low leverage, exhibit stable earnings and growth and have ready access to various financing alternatives.

·Grades 3 & 4 - Loans assigned these grades include loans to borrowers possessing solid credit quality with acceptable risk. Borrowers in these grades are differentiated from higher grades on the basis of size (capital and/or revenue), leverage, asset quality, stability of the industry or specific market area and quality/coverage of collateral. These borrowers generally have a history of consistent earnings and reasonable leverage.

·Grade 5 - This grade includes “pass grade” loans to borrowers which require special monitoring because of deteriorating financial results, declining credit ratings, decreasing cash flow, increasing leverage, marginal collateral coverage or industry stress that has resulted or may result in a changing overall risk profile.

·Grade 6 - This grade is for “Special Mention” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. This grade is intended to include loans to borrowers whose credit quality has clearly deteriorated and where risk of further decline is possible unless active measures are taken to correct the situation. Weaknesses are considered potential at this state and are not yet fully defined.

·Grade 7 - This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Loans categorized in this grade possess a well-defined credit weakness, and the likelihood of repayment from the primary source is uncertain. Significant financial deterioration has occurred, and very close attention is warranted to ensure the full repayment without loss. Collateral coverage may be marginal, and the accrual of interest has been suspended.

·Grade 8 - This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event which lacks clear certainty. These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16) when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

In the course of working with troubled borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans in an effort to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize the collectability of the loan. Any loan modified is reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring has occurred, which is when the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider based on economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status or the loan may be restructured to secure additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the debt, or a combination of the two.

The following assumptions were used to value the warrant: a risk-free interest rate of 0.66% per the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of issuance; an expected dividend yield of 1.19% calculated using the dividend rate and stock price at the date of the issuance; and an expected volatility of 34% based on the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the warrant, which is estimated to be three years.

To be categorized as well capitalized,


When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company must maintainand the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum total risk-based,ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based andcapital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 leveragecapital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% upon full implementation); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will phase in over a four-year period increasing by increments of that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.

Note 14:Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 15:        Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASU Topic 820 also specifies 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. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 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 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 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 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

Level 2 securities include U.S. government-sponsored enterprises,Government-sponsored agencies, mortgage and asset-backed securities, state and obligations of state, municipalsmunicipal securities, and certain corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain other securities.hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities and volatility.severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation.

The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.


Loans Held-for-Sale (mandatory pricing agreements)

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).

Forward Contracts

The fair values of forward contracts on to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The fair value of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are determined using the projected sale price of individual loans based on changes in market interest rates, projected pull-through rates (the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s option due to the passage of time, and the remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market costs (Level 3).

The following describes the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans.

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.

Note 16:        Mortgage Banking Activities

The Company’s residential real estate lending business originates mortgage loans for customers and sells a majority of the originated loans into the secondary market. The Company hedges its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. To facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Company has elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements. Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, interest rate lock commitments and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest income.  Refer to Note 17 for further information on derivative financial instruments. 

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company originated mortgage loans held-for-sale of $502.7 million, $409.7 million, and $741.1 million, respectively, and sold $509.4 million, $409.5 million, and $784.1 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the secondary market.

The components of income from mortgage banking activities consist of the following:
 Year Ended December 31,

Note 17:        Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.

Note 21:        Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (April 2015)

This Update is part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the “Simplification Initiative”) implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 2011,15, 2015. This Update will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this Update during the FASB issued ASU 2011-11. twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and has included the required disclosures in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date (August 2015)

The objectiveamendments in this Update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Update 2014-09 provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that all industries will apply to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Public business entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Adoption of this Update is not expected to provide enhanced disclosureshave a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments (September 2015)

This Update is part of the Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this Update require that will enable users ofan acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this Update require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, to evaluate the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or potentialother income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be implemented using the prospective method. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of netting arrangements onFinancial Assets and Financial Liabilities (January 2016)

The amendments in this Update affect all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The amendments in this Update supersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and require equity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. An entity’s equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or result in consolidation of an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilitiesinvestee are not included within the scope of this Update. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On July 27, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-02. investments.


The amendments in this Update will allowalso simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring assessment for impairment qualitatively at each reporting period. That impairment assessment is similar to the qualitative assessment for long-lived assets, goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Upon determining that impairment exists, an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required toshould calculate the fair value of that investment and recognize as an indefinite-lived intangible asset unlessimpairment in net income any amount by which the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not,carrying value exceeds the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. fair value of the investment.

The amendments include a numberin this Update require public business entities that are required to disclose fair value of events and circumstancesfinancial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. This change to GAAP eliminates the entry price method previously used by some entities for disclosure purposes for some financial assets. Previously, GAAP permitted entities an option to measure fair value in two different ways.

The amendments in this Update require an entity to considerpresent separately in conductingother comprehensive income the qualitative assessment. portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. That presentation addresses financial statement users’ feedback that presenting the total change in fair value of a liability in net income reduced the decision usefulness of an entity’s net income when it had a deterioration in its credit worthiness. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity.

The amendments in this Update require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

The amendments in this Update reduce diversity in current practice by clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The feedback received by the Financial Accounting Standards Board indicated that there is diversity in practice in that some entities evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities separately from their other deferred tax assets.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On August 27, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-03. This Update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics. These amendments are presented in two sections – Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification® and Amendments to the XBRL Taxonomy. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU, and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On October 1, 2012, the FASB released ASU 2012-04. The amendments in this Update make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various topics throughout the Codification. These amendments are presented in two sections—Technical Corrections and Improvements and Conforming Amendments Related to Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this Update that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be implemented using the methodologies prescribed byprospective method. Adoption of this ASU for the period ended December 31, 2012, and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the Update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information required within this Update is already required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

The new amendments will require an organization to:

·Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income–but only if the item reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period

·Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense.

The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and the ASU is not expected to have a materialsignificant effect on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, which clarifies the scope of transactions that are subjectFinancial Accounting Standards Board amended its standards with respect to the disclosures about offsetting.accounting for leases. The Update clarifiesamended standard serves to replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and requires that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not inan operating lease be recognized by the scope of ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, Update 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification® or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Issued in December 2011, Update 2011-11 was the result of a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Its objective was to improve transparency and comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards by requiring enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offsetlessee on the statementbalance sheet as a “right-of-use” asset along with a corresponding liability representing the rent obligation.

After the modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases that have not expired before the date of initial application and will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application of the amended standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users.
