Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include PorterLimestone Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its subsidiary, PBILimestone Bank (Bank). The Company owns a 100% interest in the Bank. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q andand Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20162018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates – To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ.

 

Reclassifications – Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not impact net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

New Accounting StandardsIn August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is an update to ASU 2014-09, and delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The ASU provides guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of this guidance, and non-interest income. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s non-interest income revenue streams, adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this update impact public business entities as follows: 1) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. 2) Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. 3) Eliminate the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. 4) Require entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. 5) Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in 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 for financial instruments. 6) 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 the accompanying notes to the financial statements. 7) Clarify 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 amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to have a material impact. The Company currently does not have any equity investments.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update ASU No.No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will beare required to recognize the following for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting inis largely unchanged. The amendments in this update becomebecame effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. TheBased on the Company’s existing lease agreements, the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements willwas the recording of a $507,000 lease liability and a right of use asset, which is included in other liabilities and premises and equipment, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact.meaningful impact on the Company’s performance metrics, including regulatory capital ratios and return on average assets. The Company’s leases mature through 2024 and have a weighted average discount rate of 6%. The operating lease cost was approximately $65,000 and $130,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the Company had entered into one lease that has yet to commence. The right of use asset and lease liability for the lease yet to commence are estimated to be approximately $1.1 million.


 

In JuneJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The final standard will change estimates for credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost such as loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and certain other contracts. For estimating credit losses, the FASB is replacing the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. Under the CECL model, certain financial assets that are carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, are required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model required under current GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The change could materially affect how the allowance for loan losses is determined. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently gatheringAs previously disclosed, management has formed a cross functional committee that has overseen the enhancement of existing technology required to source and model data for the purpose of meeting this standard. The committee has selected a vendor to assist in generating loan level cash flows and disclosures. The project plan involved data and assessing our datamodel validation during the first half of 2019, with parallel processing the existing model with the CECL model for two to three quarters prior to implementation, depending on how model completion and system needs.validation occurs. During 2019, management is focused on refining assumptions and continued review of the model. Additionally, management is researching and resolving interpretive accounting issues in the ASU, contemplating various accounting policies, developing processes and related controls, and considering various reporting disclosures. The impact of CECL model implementation is being evaluated, but it is expected that a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses will be recognized in retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, as is consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance. In December 2018, the OCC, The magnitudeBoard of any adjustment orGovernors of the overall impactFederal Reserve System, and the FDIC approved a final rule to address changes to the credit loss accounting under GAAP, including banking organizations’ implementation of CECL. The final rule provides banking organizations the option to phase in over a three-year period the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from adoption of the new standard on financial condition or resultsaccounting standard. In July 2019, the FASB voted for a proposal to delay implementation for smaller reporting companies, private companies, and not-for-profit entities. The Company currently qualifies as a smaller reporting company. Companies benefiting from the delay will have to implement CECL for fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The proposal will undergo a 30-day public comment period in August 2019.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The final standard will shorten the amortization period for premiums on callable debt securities by requiring that premiums be amortized to the first (or earliest) call date instead of as an adjustment to the yield over the contractual life. The standard iswas effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impactAdoption of adopting thethis new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 – Securities

 

Securities are classified intoas available for sale (AFS) and held to maturity (HTM) categories.. AFS securities are those that may be sold if needed for liquidity, asset liability management, or other reasons. AFS securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax. HTM securities are those that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of securities and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

Securities pledged at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 had carrying values of approximately $85.3$69.9 million and $61.2$64.4 million, respectively, and were pledged to secure public deposits.

 

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016, we2018, the Bank held securities issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky or Kentucky municipalities having a book value of $15.8 million and $16.4 million, respectively. Additionally, at September$14.9 million. At June 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016, we held securities issued by the State of Texas or Texas municipalities having a book value of $4.3 million at each period end. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2018, there were no other holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

 


The Bank owns Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), which are debt securities secured by professionally managed portfolios of senior-secured loans to corporations. CLO managers are typically large non-bank financial institutions or banks and are typically $300 million to $1 billion in size, contain one hundred or more loans, have five to six credit tranches ranging from AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B and equity tranche. Interest and principal are paid first to the AAA tranche then to the next lower rated tranche. Losses are borne first by the equity tranche then by the subsequently higher rated tranche. CLOs may be less liquid than government securities from time to time and volatility in the CLO market may cause the value of these investments to decline.

The market value of CLOs may be affected by, among other things, changes in composition of the underlying loans, changes in the cash flows from the underlying loans, defaults and recoveries on the underlying loans, capital gains and losses on the underlying loans, and prepayments on the underlying loans.

At June 30, 2019, $33.0 million and $16.7 million of our CLOs were AA and A rated, respectively. There were no CLOs rated below A and none of the CLOs were subject to ratings downgrade in the six months ended June 30, 2019. All of our CLOs are floating rate, with rates set on a quarterly basis at three month LIBOR plus a spread.

 

The Company evaluates securities for other than temporaryother-than-temporary impairment (OTTI)at least on a quarterly basis,, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition credit quality, and near-term prospects of the issuer, underlying credit quality of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the sector or industry trends and cycles affecting the issuer, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, management does not believe any securities in ourthe portfolio with unrealized losses should be classified as other than temporarily impaired.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

 

A troubled debt restructuring (TDR) occurs when the Bank has agreed to a loan modification in the form of a concession for a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. The Bank’s TDRs typicallymay involve a reduction in interest rate, a deferral of principal for a stated period of time, or an interest only period. All TDRs are considered impaired and the Bank allocateshas allocated reserves for these loans to reflect the present value of the concessionary terms granted to the borrower.

 

The following table presents the types of TDR loan modifications by portfolioportfolio segment outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016:2018:

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016, 39% and 61%, respectively,2018, 100% of the Company’s TDRs were performing according to their modified terms. The Company allocated $141,000$157,000 and $197,000$168,000 in reserves to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and December 31, 2016,2018, respectively. The Company has committed to lend no additional amounts as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 to borrowers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs.

Management periodically reviews renewals and modifications of previously identified TDRs, for which there was no principal forgiveness, to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate based upon current underwriting, the TDR classification is removed as the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower will continue to comply with the terms of the loan after the date of the renewal/modification. Additionally, TDR classification can be removed in circumstances in which the Company performs a non-concessionary re-modification of the loan at terms considered to be at market for loans with comparable risk and management expects the borrower will continue to perform under the re-modified terms based on the borrower’s past history of performance. In March 2017, the TDR classification was removed from two loans that met the requirements as discussed above. These loans totaled $4.1 million at December 31, 2016. These loans are no longer evaluated individually for impairment.

 

No TDR loan modificationsmodifications occurred during the three or ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 or SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. During the first ninesix months of 20172019 and 2016,2018, no TDRs defaulted on their restructured loan within the twelve-month12 month period following the loan modification. A default is considered to have occurred once the TDR is past due 90 days or more or it has been placed on nonaccrual.

Credit Quality Indicators 

 

We categorizeManagement categorizes all loans into risk categories at origination based upon original underwriting. Thereafter, we categorizemanagement categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. LoansAdditionally, loans are also analyzed through our internal and external loan review processes. Borrower relationships in excess of $500,000 are routinely analyzed through our credit administration processes which classify the loans as to credit risk. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

 

WatchWatchLoans classified as watch are those loans which have or may experience a potentially adverse development which necessitates increased monitoring.

 

Special Mention Loans classified as special mention do not have all of the characteristics of substandard or doubtful loans. They have one or more deficiencies which warrant special attention and which corrective action, such as accelerated collection practices, may remedy.

 

Substandard Loans classified as substandard are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition which may jeopardize the repayment of the debt as contractually agreed. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that wethe Bank will sustain some lossesloss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


 

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful are those loans which have characteristics similar to substandard loans but with an increased risk that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are consideredconsidered to be “Pass” rated loans. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and December 31, 2016,2018, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Note 4 – Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned (OREO) is real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When property is acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieulieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair market value less expectedestimated cost to sell. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses.

 

Fair value of OREO is determined on an individual property basis.basis. When foreclosed properties are acquired, we obtainmanagement obtains a new appraisal of the subject property or havehas staff from ourthe Bank’s special assets group evaluate the latest in-file appraisal in connection with the transfer to OREO. WeUpdated appraisals are typically obtain updated appraisalsobtained within five quarters of the anniversary date of ownership unless a sale is imminent. Subsequent reductions in fair value are recorded as non-interest expense when a new appraisal indicates a decline in value or in cases where a listingmarketing price is lowered below the appraised amount.

Note 8 – Fair Values Measurement

 

Fair value is the exchangeexchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We use variousVarious valuation techniques are used to determine fair value, including market, income and cost approaches. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that an entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date, or observable inputs.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levelslevels of the fair value hierarchy. When that occurs, we classify the fair value hierarchy is classified on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We used theThe following methods and significant assumptions are used to estimate fair value.

 

Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges, if available. This valuation method is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated on market prices of similar securities, or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Matrix pricing relies on the securities’ relationship to similarly traded securities, benchmark curves, and the benchmarking of like securities. Matrix pricing utilizes observable market inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. In instances where broker quotes are used, these quotes are obtained from market makers or broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. This valuation method is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators. This valuation method is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

22

 

Impaired Loans: An impaired loan is evaluated at the time the loan is identified as impaired and is recorded at fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loan and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.

 

Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. These routine adjustments are made to adjust the value of a specific property relativerelative to comparable properties for variations in qualities such as location, size, and income production capacity relative to the subject property of the appraisal. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

WeManagement routinely apply anapplies internal discountdiscounts to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of our impaired loans. The deductions to the appraisal take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as potential value impairment in cases where our appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. These deductions range from 10% for routine real estate collateral to 25% for real estate that is determined (1) to have a thin trading market or (2) to be specialized collateral. This is in addition to estimated discounts for cost to sell of six to ten percent.

 

WeManagement also applyapplies discounts to the expected fair value of collateral for impaired loans where the likely resolution involves litigationlitigation or foreclosure. Resolution of this nature generally results in receiving lower values for real estate collateral in a more aggressive sales environment. We have utilized discountsDiscounts ranging from 10% to 33% have been utilized in our impairment evaluations when applicable.

 


ImpairedImpaired loans are evaluated quarterly for additional impairment. We obtainManagement obtains updated appraisals on properties securing our loans when circumstances are warranted such as at the time of renewal or when market conditions have significantly changed. This determination is made on a property-by-property basis in light of circumstances in the broader economic climate and ourthe assessment of deterioration of real estate values in the market in which the property is located. The first stage of our assessment involves management’s inspection of the property in question. Management also engages in conversations with local real estate professionals and market participants to determine the likely marketing time and value range for the property. The second stage involves an assessment of current trends in the regional market. After thorough consideration of these factors, management will either internally evaluate fair value or order a new appraisal.

 

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or internal evaluation less estimated cost to sell. Our quarterlyQuarterly evaluations of OREO for impairment are driven by property type. For smaller dollar single family homes, we consultmanagement consults with staff from ourthe Bank’s special assets group as well as external realtors and appraisers. Based on these consultations, we determinemanagement determines asking prices for OREO properties we are marketingbeing marketed for sale. If the internally evaluated fair value or asking price is below ourthe recorded investment in the property, appropriate write-downs are taken.

 

For larger dollar commercial real estate properties, we obtainmanagement obtains a new appraisal of the subject property or havehas staff in ourthe special assets group evaluate the latest in-file appraisal in connection withwith the transfer to other real estate owned. WeOREO. Management generally obtainobtains updated appraisals within five quarters of the anniversary date of ownership unless a sale is imminent. When an asking price is lowered below the most recent appraised value, appropriate write-downs are taken.

We routinely apply an internal discount to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of our OREO. The deductions to the appraisal take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as potential value impairment in cases where our appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. These deductions range from 10% for routine real estate collateral to 25% for real estate that is determined (1) to have a thin trading market or (2) to be specialized collateral. This is in addition to estimated discounts for cost to sell of six to ten percent.

It is not practicalIn accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018, the methods utilized to determinemeasure the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(c) Loans, Net

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequentlyfinancial instruments at June 30, 2019 and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarilyDecember 31, 2018 represent an approximation of exit price.

(d) Deposits

The fair values disclosed for non-interest bearing deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate interest bearing deposits approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate interest bearing deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification. 

(e) Other Borrowings

The fair values of the Company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair values of the Company’s subordinated capital notes, junior subordinated debentures, and senior debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(f) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification based on the level of the asset or liability with which the accrual is associated.price; however, an actual exit price may differ.

Our estimateDuring the first quarter of our ability to realize2019, the Company benefited $341,000, or approximately $0.05 per basic and diluted share, from the establishment of a net deferred tax asset dependsrelated to a change in Kentucky tax law enacted during the first quarter. The new law eliminates the Kentucky bank franchise tax, which is assessed at a rate of 1.1% of average capital, and implements a state income tax for the Bank at a statutory rate of 5%. The new Kentucky income tax will go into effect on our estimateJanuary 1, 2021.

In addition, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of projected future levels of taxable income. In analyzing future taxable income levels, we considered all evidence currently available, both positive and negative. Based on our analysis, we established$30.2 million, which were previously subject to a full valuation allowance and will begin to expire in 2025. In April 2019, tax legislation was enacted which allowed for all deferredcertain Kentucky NOLs to be utilized in a combined filing return. Therefore, the Company will begin filing a Kentucky combined filing in 2021 and, as a result, a state NOL tax benefit, net of federal impact, of $1.2 million, or approximately $0.16 per basic and diluted share, was recognized in the second quarter of 2019.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had net federal operating loss carryforwards of $107.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2031. As of June 30, 2019, a total of $173,000 in alternative minimum tax credit carry-forward was reclassified to other assets as of December 31, 2011. The valuation allowance remains in effect as of September 30, 2017.it is currently refundable for the 2019 tax year.

 

The Company does not have any beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits. The CompanyCompany does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months. There were no interest and penalties recorded in the income statement or accrued for the three or ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 or SeptemberJune 30, 20162018 related to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Section 382”), the Company’s its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other deferred tax assets can generally be used to offset future taxable income and therefore reduce federal income tax obligations. However, the Company's ability to use its NOLs would be limited if there was an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382. This would occur if shareholders owning (or deemed to own under the tax rules) 5% or more of the Company's voting and non-voting common shares increase their aggregate ownership of the Company by more than 50 percentage points over a defined period of time.

27

 

In 2015, the Company took two measures to preserve the value of its NOLs. First, wethe Company adopted a tax benefits preservation plan designed to reduce the likelihood of an “ownership change” occurring as a result of purchases and sales of the Company's common shares. Upon adoption of this plan, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right for each common share outstanding as of the close of business on July 10, 2015. Any shareholder or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the Company (an “acquiring person”) could be subject to significant dilution in its holdings if the Company's Board of Directors does not approve such acquisition. Existing shareholders holding 5% or more of the Company will not be considered acquiring persons unless they acquire additional shares, subject to certain exceptions described in the plan. In addition, the Board of Directors has the discretion to exempt certain transactions and certain persons whose acquisition of securities is determined by the Board not to jeopardize the Company's deferred tax assets. The rights willplan was extended in May 2018 to expire upon the earlier of (i) June 29, 2018,30, 2021, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year with respect to which the Board of Directors determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward, (iii) the repeal or amendment of Section 382 or any successor statute, if the Board of Directors determines that the plan is no longer needed to preserve the tax benefits, and (iv) certain other events as described in the plan.


 

On September 23, 2015, our the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’sits articles of incorporation to further help protect the long-term value of the Company’s NOLs. The amendment provides a means to block transfers of our common shares that could result in an ownership change under Section 382. The transfer restrictions were extended in May 2018 by shareholder vote and will expire on the earlier of (i) SeptemberMay 23, 2018,2021, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year with respect to which the Board of Directors determines that no tax benefit may be carried forward, (iii) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if our Board determines that the transfer restrictions are no longer needed to preserve the tax benefits of our NOLs, or (iv) such date as the Board otherwise determines that the transfer restrictions are no longer necessary.

 

The Company and its subsidiariessubsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax and the Company is subject to income tax in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2014.2015.

Note 12Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Retained EarningsMatters

 

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiateresult in regulatory action.

 

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’sSupervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company and Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule through January 1, 2019. The final rules allowed banks and their holding companies with less than $250 billion in assets a one-time opportunity to opt-out of a requirement to include unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in their capital calculation. The Company and the Bank opted out of this requirement. The rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. OnceWith the capital conservation buffer is fully phased in as of January 1, 2019, the minimum ratios are a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%. The phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets with increases to 1.25% in 2017,for 2019 is 2.5% and was 1.875% in 2018, and 2.5% in 2019.for 2018. An institution is subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if capital levels fall below minimum levels plus the buffer amounts. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.actions without prior regulatory approval.

 

TheAs of June 30, 2019, Management believes the Company and Bank is no longer subjectmeet all capital adequacy requirements to a consent order withwhich they are subject. As of June 30, 2019, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions. We were notified that the Bank’s prior consent order was terminated, effective October 31, 2017.

On September 21, 2011, we entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. In the Agreement, we made formal commitments to use our financial and management resources to serve as a source of strength formost recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank to assistas well capitalized under the Bank in addressing weaknesses identified in a consent order withregulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the FDIC and KDFI (which has since been terminated), to pay no dividends without prior written approval, to pay no interest or principal on trust preferred securities without prior written approval, and to submit an acceptable plan to maintain sufficient capital.notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Kentucky banking laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to a holding company by its subsidiary banks without prior approval. TheThese laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year to current year’syear’s net income, as defined in the laws, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, less any dividends declared during those periods. In addition, a bank must have positive retained earnings.

Note 13Off Balance Sheet Risks, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

 

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to financial instrumentsinstruments with off balance sheet risk. The financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the potential future obligations of the Company pursuant to those financial instruments. Creditworthiness for all instruments is evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Company’s credit policies. Collateral from the client may be required based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the client and may include business assets of commercial clients, as well as personal property and real estate of individual clients or guarantors.

 

An approved but unfunded loan commitment represents a potential credit risk and a liquidity risk, since the Company’sCompany’s client(s) may demand immediate cash that would require funding. In addition, unfunded loan commitments represent interest rate risk as market interest rates may rise above the rate committed to the Company’s client. Since a portion of these loan commitments normally expire unused, the total amount of outstanding commitments at any point in time may not require future funding. Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of one year or less.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The terms andand risk of loss involved in issuing standby letters of credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan commitments and extending credit. In addition to credit risk, the Company also has liquidity risk associated with standby letters of credit because funding for these obligations could be required immediately. The Company does not deem this risk to be material. No liability is currently established for standby letters of credit.

In connection with the purchase of three loan participations, the Bank entered into three risk participation agreements, which had notional amounts totaling $19.8$26.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and $14.6 million at December 31, 2016.2018. The risk participation agreements are not designated against specific assets or liabilities under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. The derivatives are recorded in other liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value of both the borrower and the offsetting swap agreements are recorded (and essentially offset) in non-interest income.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries have been named, from time to time, as defendants in various legal actions. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions may include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages.

 

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from claims against it when a loss is assessed to be probable andcontests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate in each pending matter. In view of the loss is reasonably estimable. Accruals are not madeinherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where liability is not probableclaimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the amountearly stages, the Company cannot be reasonably estimated. Assessing probabilitypredict with certainty the loss or range of loss, and estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors, including in some cases judgments aboutif any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the potential actions of third party claimants and courts. Recorded contingent liabilities areeventual settlement, or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on the best information available and actual losses in any future period are inherently uncertain. Based upon current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the Company believesoutcome of such pending legal proceedings or claims shouldmatters will not have a material impactadverse effect on itsthe consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, in lightcondition of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings,Company, although the outcome of a particular matter maysuch matters could be material to the financial position orCompany’s operating results of operationsand cash flows for a particular reportingfuture period, in the future.

On October 17, 2014, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) notified the Bank that it was the subject of an investigation into possible violations of federal laws, including,depending on, among other things, possible violations related to false bank entries, bank fraud and securities fraud. The investigation concerns allegations that Bank personnel engaged in practices intended to delay or avoid disclosurethe level of the Bank’s asset qualityCompany’s revenues or income for such period. The Company will accrue for a loss contingency if (1) it is probable that a future event will occur and confirm the loss and (2) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not currently involved in any material litigation.

Note 14 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

All of the Company’s revenue from customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized as non-interest income. A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Bank Card Interchange Income: The Company earns interchange fees from bank cardholder transactions conducted through a third party payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Prior to adopting ASC 606, the Company reported bank card interchange fees net of expenses. Under ASC 606, bank card interchange fees are reported gross.

Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and followingwhether collectability of the United States Treasury’s purchasetransaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of preferred sharescontrol of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. Gains and losses on sales of OREO are netted with OREO expense and reported in non-interest expense.

Other Non-interest Income: Other non-interest income includes revenue from several sources that are within the scope of ASC 606, including title insurance commissions, income from secondary market loan sales, and other transaction-based revenue that is individually immaterial. Other non-interest income included approximately $119,000 and $255,000 of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, within the scope of ASC 606. Other non-interest income included approximately $115,000 and $245,000 of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, within the scope of ASC 606. The remaining other non-interest income for the three and six months is excluded from the Company in November 2008. The Bank has cooperated with all requests for information from the DOJ. At this time, the DOJ has not indicated whether it intends to pursue any action in the matter.scope of ASC 606.

Note 15Subsequent Events

On July 23, 2019, the Company completed the issuance of a $17.0 million 10-year subordinated note. The note carries interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% for the first five years and qualifies as Tier 2 regulatory capital. The Company contributed $10.0 million of the proceeds to the Bank as Tier 1 capital, used $5.0 million to reduce senior debt, and retained the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On July 24, 2019, the Bank entered into a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement to acquire four branch banking centers located in the Kentucky cities of Elizabethtown, Frankfort, and Owensboro from Louisville, Kentucky based Republic Bank and Trust. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank will acquire the four branch offices, which includes $153 million in deposits and $112 million in loans. In addition, the Bank will acquire substantially all the fixed assets of these locations. The transaction has received approvals from each party’s board of directors and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Non-interest expense for the thirdsecond quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 decreased $745,000,$181,000, or 9.4%2.4%, compared with the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decreasedecreases in salary and employee benefitsmarketing expense of $262,000, a $211,000 decrease in$96,000 and OREO expense as the OREO portfolio was significantly reduced, a $144,000 decline in loan collection and litigation expenses, and a $142,000 decline in professional fees.of $95,000. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, non-interest expense decreased $2.7 million,$69,000, or 11.1%0.5% to $21.3$14.5 million compared with $23.9$14.6 million for the first ninesix months of 2016.2018. The decreasesdecrease in non-interest expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 were2019 was primarily attributable to decreased OREO expenses of $1.2 million due to the smaller OREO portfolio. The improvement was also attributable to a reduction in professional fees of $475,000, a decrease in marketing expense of $454,000 in litigation and loan collection expense,$169,000 and a reductiondecrease in FDIC insurance of $403,000.$110,000 reflecting the Bank’s lower risk profile, partially offset by a $157,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, as well as, an increase of $151,000 in deposit account related expense.

Net income before taxes and income tax benefit was $3.0 million and $611,000, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $2.5 million and income tax expense of $483,000, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $30.2 million, which were previously subject to a full valuation allowance and will begin to expire in 2025. In April 2019, tax legislation was enacted which allowed for certain Kentucky NOLs to be utilized in a combined filing return. Therefore, the Company will begin filing a Kentucky combined filing in 2021 and, as a result, a state NOL tax benefit, net of federal impact, of $1.2 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, was recognized in the second quarter of 2019.

Net income before taxes and income tax benefit was $6.0 million and $488,000, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $4.7 million and income tax expense of $812,000, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2019 benefitted $1.2 million from the establishment of a state net deferred tax asset related to the April 2019 tax law enactment discussed above. In addition, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company benefited $341,000, or approximately $0.05 per basic and diluted share, from the establishment of a net deferred tax asset related to a change in Kentucky tax law enacted during the first quarter. The new law eliminates the Kentucky bank franchise tax, which is assessed at a rate of 1.1% of average capital, and implements a state income tax for the Bank at a statutory rate of 5%. The new Kentucky income tax will go into effect on January 1, 2021.

 

Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Total assets increased $17.8$57.1 million, or 1.9%5.3%, to $963.0 million$1.13 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, from $945.2 million$1.07 billion at December 31, 2016.2018. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net loans of $43.3$37.9 million, offset by a decreaseas well as an increase in interest bearing deposits in bankscash and cash equivalents of $19.1 million and a decrease in available for sale securities of $3.0$12.3 million.

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $51.9 million subject to a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2017. Our ability to utilize deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future levels of taxable income. The determination to restore a deferred tax asset and eliminate a valuation allowance depends upon the evaluation of both positive and negative evidence regarding the likelihood of achieving sufficient future taxable income levels. A key element of the evaluation is the achievement of pre-tax net income rather than pre-tax net loss on a cumulative basis for the trailing three-year period. At September 30, 2017, our trailing three-year cumulative pre-tax net loss had declined to $762,000. We continue to monitor and evaluate the positive and negative evidence and will reverse the valuation allowance when we determine it is more-likely-than-not the asset will be utilized to reduce future taxes payable related to the future taxable income of the Company.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, loans past due 30-59 days decreased from $2.3$1.6 million at December 31, 20162018 to $872,000$858,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. Loans past due 60-89 days increased from $315,000$331,000 at December 31, 20162018 to $612,000$1.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. This represents a $1.1 million$51,000 decrease from December 31, 20162018 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019 in loans past due 30-89 days.

Troubled Debt Restructuring - A troubled debt restructuring (TDR) occurs when the Bank has agreed to a loan modification in the form of a concession to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. The Bank’s TDRs typicallymay involve a reduction in interest rate, a deferral of principal for a stated period of time, or an interest only period. All TDRs are considered impaired, and the Bank allocateshas allocated reserves for these loans to reflect the present value of the concessionary terms granted to the borrower. If the loan is considered collateral dependent, it is reported net of allocated reserves, at the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.

We do not have a formal loan modification program. If a borrower is unable to make contractual payments, we review the particular circumstances of that borrower’s situation and determine whether or not to negotiate a revised payment stream. Our goal when restructuring a credit is to afford the borrower a reasonable period to remedy the issue causing cash flow constraints within their business so that they may return to performing status over time.

Our loan modifications have taken the form of a reduction in interest rate and/or curtailment of scheduled principal payments for a short-term period, usually three to six months, but in some cases until maturity of the loan. In some circumstances we may restructure real estate secured loans in a bifurcated fashion whereby we have a fully amortizing “A” loan at a market interest rate and an interest-only “B” loan at a reduced interest rate. The majority of our restructured loans are collateral secured loans. If a borrower fails to perform under the modified terms, we place the loan(s) on nonaccrual status and initiate collection actions.


We consider any loan that is restructured for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties due to a borrower’s potential inability to pay in accordance with contractual terms of the loan to be a troubled debt restructuring. Specifically, we consider a concession involving a modification of the loan terms, such as (i) a reduction of the stated interest rate, (ii) a reduction or deferral of principal, or (iii) a reduction or deferral of accrued interest at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk all to be troubled debt restructurings. When a modification of terms is made for a competitive reason, we do not consider it to be a troubled debt restructuring. A primary example of a competitive modification would be an interest rate reduction for a performing customer’s loan to a market rate as the result of a market decline in rates.

Management periodically reviews renewals and modifications of previously identified TDRs for which there was no principal forgiveness, to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate based upon current underwriting, the TDR classification is removed as the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower will continue to comply with the terms of the loan after the date of the renewal/modification. Additionally, TDR classification can be removed in circumstances in which the Company performs a non-concessionary re-modification of the loan at terms that were considered to be at market for loans with comparable risk, and management expects the borrower will continue to perform under the re-modified terms based on the borrower’s past history of performance.

If the borrower fails to perform, we place the loan on nonaccrual status and seek to liquidate the underlying collateral. Our nonaccrual policy for restructured loans is identical to our nonaccrual policy for all loans. Our policy calls for a loan to be reported as nonaccrual if it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless the assets are both well secured and in the process of collection. Changes in value for impairment, including the amount attributed to the passage of time, are recorded entirely within the provision for loan losses. Upon determination that a loan is collateral dependent, the loan is charged down to the fair value of collateral less estimated costs to sell.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, TDRs were reduced2018 that resulted in loans being identified as a result of $1.5 million in payments. In addition, the TDR classification was removed in the first quarter of 2017 from two loans that met the requirements as discussed above. These loans totaled $4.1 million at December 31, 2016.

Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses is based on management’s continuing review and evaluation of individual loans, loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various categories of loans and such other factors that, in management’s judgment, require current recognition in estimating loan losses.

 

Management has established loan grading procedures that resultresult in specific allowance allocations for any estimated inherent risk of loss. For loans not individually evaluated, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors developed over time based on actual loss experience. Prior to June 30, 2017, the look-back period for historical losses was 12 quarters, weighted 40% for the most recent eight quarters and 20% for previous four-quarter period. Effective June 30, 2017, the Company extended the look-back period to 16 quarters on a prospective basis, weighted 40% to the most recent four quarters, and then declining one-tenth for each of the remaining annual periods. Management determined the four-year look-back period was appropriate as the four-year period more appropriately correlates to the period in which the current portfolio was underwritten and originated. The specific and general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent management’s estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

The majority of our nonperforming loans are secured by real estate collateral,, and the underlying collateral coverage for nonperforming loans supports the likelihood of collection of our principal. We haveManagement has assessed these loans for collectability and considered, among other things, the borrower’s ability to repay, the value of the underlying collateral, and other market conditions to ensure the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses. OurThe allowance for non-performing loansloan losses to non-performing loans and TDRs on accrual was 4.99%301.13% at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 compared with 2.62%306.10% at December 31, 2016,2018, and 2.88%270.66% at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018.

Our allowance for loan losses for loans collectively evaluated for impairment declined to 1.27% at September 30, 2017 from 1.51% at September 30, 2016 and 1.37% at December 31, 2016. This decline was driven primarily by declining historical loss trends and an improving loan risk category classification mix and volume which are key factors for estimating general reserves. Other factors include the consideration of growth, composition and diversification of our loan portfolio, current delinquency levels, the results of recent regulatory communications and general economic conditions.

Provision for Loan Losses NoBased upon historically strong trends in asset quality and management’s assessment of risk in the loan portfolio, no provision for loan losses was recorded for the second quarter or the first ninesix months of 2017, compared to a2019. A negative provision for loan losses of $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2016. No provision expense$150,000 was recorded for the second quarter and first ninesix months of 2017 due to declining historical loss rates, improvements in asset quality, growth in the portfolio, and management’s assessment of risk within the portfolio. Since December 31, 2016, the2018. The pass category increased approximately $46.8$22.1 million, the watch category increased approximately $4.7$9.8 million, the special mention category increased approximately $101,000, and the substandard category declinedincreased approximately $8.3$6.2 million. Net recoveriesloan charge-offs were $10,000$48,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared with net charge-offsrecoveries of $652,000$528,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. We consider2018. Management considers the size and volume of our portfolio as well as the credit quality of ourthe loan portfolio based upon risk category classification when determining the loan loss provision for each period and the allowance for loan losses at period end.

 

ForeclosedForeclosed Properties – Foreclosed properties at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 were $6.3$3.2 million compared with $6.8$4.5 million at June 30, 2018 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2016.2018. See “NoteNote 4 - Other– “Other Real Estate Owned,” of the notes to the financial statements.

We valueManagement values foreclosed properties at fair value less estimated costs to sell when acquired and expectexpects to liquidate these properties to recover ourthe investment in the due course of business.

 

OREO is recorded at fair market value less estimated cost to sell at time of acquisition. Any write-down of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance forfor loan losses.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility we the Company may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments, or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that we meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, taking into account all on- and off-balance sheet funding demands. Liquidity risk management also involves ensuring that we meet our cash flow needs are met at a reasonable cost. We maintainManagement maintains an investment and funds management policy, which identifies the primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity, and establishes minimum liquidity requirements in compliance with regulatory guidance. OurThe Asset Liability Committee regularly monitors and reviews our liquidity position.

Advances are collateralized by first mortgage residential loans and borrowing capacity is based on the underlying book value of eligible pledged loans.

 

WeThe Bank also havehas available on an unsecuredunsecured basis federal funds borrowing lines from a correspondent bank totaling $5.0 million. Management believes ourthe sources of liquidity are adequate to meet expected cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if taken, could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established risk-based capital requirements for banking organizations. The Basel III regulatory capital reforms became effective for the Company and Bank on January 1, 2015, and include new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios. These rules refine the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios, including the definitions of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The final rules allow banks and their holding companies with less than $250 billion in assets a one-time opportunity to opt-out of a requirement to include unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income in their capital calculation. The Company and the Bank opted out of this requirement. The rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5%, to be phased in over three years, above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios. OnceWith the capital conservation buffer isas fully phased in effective January 1, 2019, the minimum ratios are a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%, and a total capital to total risk-weighted assets (“total risk-based capital ratio”) of 10.5%. The phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assetsfor 2019 is 2.50% and increases to 1.25% in 2017,was 1.875% in 2018, and 2.5% in 2019.for 2018. An institution is subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases and paying discretionary bonuses if capital levels fall below minimum levels plus the buffer amounts. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.
