NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) of Bar Harbor Bankshares and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Bar Harbor”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Bar Harbor Bankshares is a Maine Financial Institution Holding Company for the purposes of the laws of the state of Maine, and as such is subject to the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the "Bank") and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

In addition, these interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to GAAP have been omitted.

The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

Reclassifications: Whenever necessary, amounts in the prior years’ financial statements are reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The disclosures below supplement updates the accounting policies previously disclosed in NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The updates reflect the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, referred to as ASC 326 or, more commonly, referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL).

Allowance for Credit Loss on AFS Debt Securities: Upon adoption of CECL, effective January 1, 2021, the Company monitors the credit quality of available for sale (AFS) debt securities through credit ratings from various rating agencies and substantial price changes. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are utilized by the Company to make informed decisions. Securities are triggered for further review in the quarter if the security has significant fluctuations in ratings, drops below investment grade, or significant pricing changes. For securities without credit ratings, the Company utilizes other financial information indicating the financial health of the underlying municipality, agency, or organization associated with the underlying security. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance on AFS debt securities is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. When assessing an AFS debt security for credit loss, securities with identical CUSIPs are pooled together to assess for impairment using the average cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income.

A change in the allowance on AFS debt securities may be in full or a portion thereof, is recorded as expense (credit) within provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS debt security is confirmed based on the above described analysis. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and January 1, 2021 (i.e. ASU 2016-13 adoption), there was 0 allowance carried on the Company's AFS debt securities. Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Table of Contents

Loans: Loans held for investment by the Company are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding net of the unamortized balance of any deferred fees or costs and the unamortized balance of any premiums or discounts on loans purchased or acquired through mergers.

For originated loans, loan fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual term of the loan using the level-yield method over the estimated lives of the related loans. When a loan is paid off, the unamortized portion of deferred fees or costs are recognized in interest income. Interest income on originated loans is accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding except for loans on non-accrual status.

For acquired loans, interest income is accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding and is then further adjusted by the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium associated with the loan that was recognized based on the acquisition date fair value. When a loan is paid off, the unamortized portion of any premiums or discounts on loans are recognized in interest income.

Purchase Credit Deteriorated (PCD) Loans: Loans that the Company acquired in acquisitions include some loans that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. The initial allowance for credit losses is determined on a collective basis and allocated to the individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost. The difference between the initial amortized cost and the par value of the loan is a discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense.

The Company adopted CECL using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, the Company did not reassess whether PCI assets met the definition of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2021, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets representing the noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income using the level-yield method over the estimated lives of the related loans. The converted PCD assets of $12.5 million were then pooled by call report coding and an additional allowance was calculated on the pooled assets separately from other loan pools totaling $524 thousand.

Non-performing loans: Residential real estate and consumer loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when reaching 90 days past due, or in process of foreclosure, or sooner if considered appropriate by management. Secured consumer loans are written down to net realizable value and unsecured consumer loans are charged-off upon reaching 120 days past due. Commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans that are 90 days or more past due are generally placed on non-accrual status, unless secured by sufficient cash or other assets immediately convertible to cash, and the loan is in the process of collection. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans may be placed on non-accrual status prior to the 90 days delinquency date if considered appropriate by management.

When a loan has been placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest on the loan. The interest on non-accrual loans is accounted for using the cash-basis or cost-recovery method depending on corresponding credit risk, until qualifying for return to accrual status. A loan can be returned to accrual status when collectability of principal is reasonably assured and the loan has performed for a period of time, generally six months.

Previously, acquired loans that met the criteria for non-accrual of interest prior to the acquisition were considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if the Company could reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such loans and if the Company expects to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans and any change in performance would have impacted accretable yield. After adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2021 the Company now treats these non-performing acquired loans that meet the criteria for non-accrual consistent with originated loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses (the “allowance”) is a significant accounting estimate used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Allowance is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which is accounted for as a separate liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The level of the allowance represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents

Upon adoption of ASC 326 or CECL on January 1, 2021, the Company replaced the incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when it ~~becomes~~became probable that a credit loss will be incurred, with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged- off. The allowance is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, generally larger non-accruing commercial loans and TDRs.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan portfolio segments measured on a collective (pool) basis. For each loan segment, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of prepayment speeds is based on historical internal data.

The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes various economic indicators such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, property values, housing starts, and other relevant factors as loss drivers. For all DCF models, management has determined that due to historic volatility in economic data, two quarters currently represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period, followed by a six-period reversion to historical mean levels for each of the various economic indicators.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Specific instrument effective yields are calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level Net Present Value ("NPV"). An allowance is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

The allowance evaluation also considers various qualitative factors, such as: (i) changes to lending policies, underwriting standards and/or management personnel performing such functions, (ii) delinquency and other credit quality trends, (iii) credit risk concentrations, if any, (iv) changes to the nature of the Company's business impacting the loan portfolio, (v) and other external factors, that may include, but are not limited to, results of internal loan reviews, stress testing, examinations by bank regulatory agencies, or other events such as a natural disaster.

Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance involves a high degree of judgment. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance and provisioning for estimated losses is evaluated regularly based on review of loans, with particular emphasis on non-performing and other loans that management believes warrant special consideration. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of the borrowers may necessitate future additions or reductions to the allowance.

Individually Evaluated Loans: Prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2021, a loan was individually evaluated when the loan was considered impaired. Impaired loans were based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan, including scheduled interest payments.

With the adoption of CECL, loans that do not share risk characteristics with existing pools are evaluated on an individual basis. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the ~~collateral.~~ collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, the specific credit loss reserve is calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the NPV from the operation of the collateral.

Table of Contents

When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, the specific credit loss reserve is calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the

~~Table of Contents~~

financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The allowance may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.

Accrued Interest. Upon adoption of CECL, effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company made the following elections regarding accrued interest receivable: (i) present accrued interest receivable balances within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition; (ii) exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses, including investments and loans; and (iii) continue to write-off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income. The Company has a policy in place to write-off accrued interest when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Historically, the Company has not experienced uncollectible accrued interest receivable on investment debt securities.

Allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures: The exposure is a component of other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and represents the estimate for probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include unused portions of lines of credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. The process used to determine the allowance for these exposures is consistent with the process for determining the allowance for loans, as adjusted for estimated funding probabilities or loan equivalency factors. A charge (credit) to provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income is made to account for the change in the allowance on off-balance sheet exposures between reporting periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards updates ("ASU") that could have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption:


Standard	Description	Required Date of Adoption	Effect on financial statements
Standards Adopted in 2021
ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2018‑19, Codification Improvements to ASU 2016-13	This ASU amends Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses to replace the current incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss approach ("CECL") for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit, such as of balance sheet credit exposures (loan comitments, unused line of credit and stand-by letters of credit). The amendments require entities to consider all available relevant information when estimating current expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The resulting allowance for credit losses is to reflect the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. The amendments also eliminate the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and certain off-balance sheet exposures. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required upon adoption. While the CECL model does not apply to available for sale debt securities, the ASU does require entities to record an allowance when recognizing credit losses for available for sale securities with unrealized losses, rather than reduce the amortized cost of the securities by direct write-offs. The guidance will require companies to recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than interest income over time. The ASU should be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Entities that have loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at the time of adoption should prospectively apply the guidance in this amendment for purchase credit deteriorated assets.	January 1, 2022	Adoption of this ASU ~~is expected to~~ primarily ~~change~~changed how the Company estimates credit losses with the application of the expected credit loss model. The Company ~~will apply~~applied the standard's provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The ~~Company's~~Company has finalized its CECL implementation, ~~efforts in the first quarter focused on the finalization and~~recieved board approval of the final CECL model, completed modelling of off-balance sheet credit risks, completed formal governance and control documentation, and developed and presented revised disclosures for board approval. The ASU was originally effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020; however, after the The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES CARES Act Act, was enacted on March 27, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff clarified that once the deferral was elected by a registrant, Dec. 31, 2020, adoption of CECL was required, retrospective to Jan. 1, 2020 (ignoring an early termination of the national emergency). Under the amendments, a registrant electing the delay under the CARES Act is further delayed until Jan. 1, 2022, effective as of Jan. 1, 2022 (absent an early termination of the national emergency). With regard to the amendments to Section 4014, the SEC staff indicated it would not object to a registrant early adopting on Dec. 31, 2020, retrospective to Jan. 1, 2020, or Jan. 1, 2021, effective as of Jan. 1, 2021. The Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2021, which increased its allowance for credit losses (ACL) by $5.2 million and reserve for unfunded commitments by $1.6 million. Equity was reduced by $5.2 million, net of deferred tax of $1.6 million inon the ~~first quarter due to~~date of adoption. ~~The coverage ratio of ACL to total loans increased to~~ ~~0.94% as of March 31, 2021 from 0.76% at December 31, 2020, excluding PPP loans.~~

ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging	In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which added Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities, and made targeted improvements to address certain aspects of accounting for financial instruments. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and (1) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (2) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The amendments in this Update clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively.	December 15, 2020	The adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company’s equity method investments which primarily consist of community limited partnership investments are in compliance with the new guidance prospectively in 2021.

ASU 2020-04 Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform, Topic 848, as amended in ASU 2021-01	This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). For instance, companies can (1) elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. A company that makes this election would not have to re-measure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Companies can also (2) elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Finally, companies can (3) make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform.	May be elected through December 31, 2022.

Rate Reform Elections ~~at March 31, 2021~~

Adherence to ISDA Fallback Protocol

The ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol (the “ISDA Fallback Protocol”) was made available for adherence on October 23, 2020 with an effective date of January 25, 2021. Once adhered to by both counterparties in a bilateral relationship and the effective date is reached, the ISDA Fallback Protocol represents a change to the contractual terms of derivatives governed by each respective ISDA agreement between the Company and a derivative counterparty. The change relates to reference rate reform and represents the potential for addition of or changes to contractual terms and was developed by a private-sector working group convened by a regulator as referenced in 848-20-15-5(g). For all of the Company’s interest rate swaps that meet the scope requirements of 848-10-15-3 and 848-10-15-3A and for which the Company adhered to the ISDA Fallback Protocol, the Company makes the following elections:

•

Modification related elections

•

Option to not reassess a previous accounting determination (paragraph 848-20-35-4).

•

Hedge accounting related modifications

•

Option to not dedesignate a hedging relationship due to a change in a critical term (paragraph 848-30-25-3).

•

Option to change the contractual terms of a hedging instrument, hedged item, or forecasted transaction and to not dedesignate a hedging relationship (paragraph 848-30-25-5).

Cash flow hedges

The Company ~~hereby~~ amends the hedge documentation, without dedesignating and redesignating, for all outstanding cash flow hedging relationships for the following elections:

•

Probability of forecasted transactions: The Company elects the expedient in ASC 848-50-25-2 to assert probability of the hedged interest payments/receipts regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform.

•

Assessment of effectiveness: In accordance with ASC 848-30-25-4, ASC 848-30-25-8, and ASC 848-50-35-1 through 35-24 the Company has the option to change the method of assessing effectiveness upon a change in the critical terms of the derivative or the hedged transactions and upon the end of relief under ASC 848. At this time the Company elects to continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation and elects to apply the expedient in ASC 848-50-35-17 so that the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative matches the reference rate on the hedging instrument. For new hedging relationships designated subsequent to the date of this memorandum, the Company elects to apply the expedient in ASC 848-50-25-11 to assume that the reference rate will not be replaced for the remainder of the hedging relationship.

New hedging activity

The Company makes the same elections for each hedging relationship designated subsequent to March 31, 2021. Any hedging relationship-specific elections beyond the elections noted above will be documented in the respective inception hedge documentation. Subsequent election of optional expedients and exceptions after the March 31, 2021 will be documented in accordance with the elections being made here.

Credit Quality Information

The Company monitors the credit quality of available for sale debt securities through credit ratings from various rating agencies and substantial price changes. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are utilized by the Company to make informed decisions. Securities are triggered for further review in the quarter if the security has significant fluctuations in ratings, drops below investment grade, or significant pricing changes. For securities without credit ratings, the Company utilizes other financial information indicating the financial health of the underlying municipality, agency, or organization associated with the underlying security.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 the Company carried 0 allowance on available for sale debt securities in accordance with ASU 2016-13.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available for sale ~~(“AFS”)~~ securities segregated by contractual maturity at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 are presented below.

The Company expects to recover its amortized cost basis on all securities in its AFS portfolio. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, prior to this recovery. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover.

The following summarizes, by investment security type, the impact of securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021:

US Government-sponsored enterprises

5044 out of the total ~~556~~546 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government-sponsored enterprises were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented ~~1.55%~~1.08% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation guarantee the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US Government-sponsored enterprises. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

US Government agency

13 out of the total ~~158~~157 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government agency securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented ~~0.43%~~0.31% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Government National Mortgage Association guarantees the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US Government agency securities. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Private label

1217 of the total 2933 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS private label mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented ~~0.31%~~0.12% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. Based upon the expectation that the Company will receive all of the future contractual cash flows related to the amortized cost on these securities, the Company does not consider there to be any additional other-than-temporary impairment with respect to these securities.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof

169 of the total ~~144~~140 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS municipal bonds and obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented ~~0.65%~~0.15% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company continually monitors the municipal bond sector of the market carefully and periodically evaluates the appropriate level of exposure to the market. At this time, the Company feels the bonds in this portfolio carry minimal risk of default and the Company is appropriately compensated for the risk. There were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Corporate bonds

86 out of the total 3331 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS corporate bonds were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate unrealized loss represents ~~0.97%~~0.92% of the amortized cost of bonds in unrealized loss positions. The Company reviews the financial strength of all of these bonds and has concluded that the amortized cost remains supported by the expected future cash flows of these securities. The most recent review includes all bond issuers and their current credit ratings, financial performance and capitalization.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, under the incurred loss model, the Company evaluated its risk characteristics of loans based on purpose of the loans.

The following is a summary of total loans by regulatory call report code segmentation based on underlying collateral for certain loan types:

Total unamortized net costs and premiums	$	3,692	$	5,072	$	3,259	$	5,072

The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest receivable for loans totaled ~~$11.9~~$12.1 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and is included in the “other assets” line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The CARES Act and subsequent legislation established the Payroll Protection Program ~~(“PPP”)~~(PPP), administered directly by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Company has participated in both 2020 and 2021 rounds of funding. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had ~~1,057~~1,250 and 746 PPP loans outstanding, with an outstanding principal balance of ~~$77.9~~$65.9 million and $53.8 million, respectively. The increase reflects the 2021 round of funding of ~~956~~1,233 PPP loans with and outstanding principal balance of ~~$57.4~~$62.7 million. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible costs. PPP loans are included in the commercial and industrial portfolio segment.

Characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial construction - Loans in this segment primarily include raw land, land development and construction of commercial and multifamily residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations of the completed structure in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines that are more restrictive than existing structures. Construction loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the completed structure, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Table of Contents

Commercial real estate owner occupied and non-owner occupied - Loans in these segments are primarily owner-occupied or income-producing properties. Loans to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and unsecured loans to developers that closely correlate to the inherent risk in commercial real estate markets are also included. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Tax Exempt - Loans in this segment primarily include loans to various state and municipal government entities. Loans made in these borrowers may provide the Company with tax-exempt income. While governed and underwritten similar to commercial loans they do have unique requirements based on established polices. Almost all state and municipal loans are considered a general obligation of the issuing entity. Given the size of many municipal borrowers, borrowings are normally not rated by major rating agencies.

Commercial and industrial loans - Loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment in this segment. Generally loans are secured by assets of the business such as accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, other liquid collateral, equipment and other business assets. Some loans in this category may be unsecured or guaranteed by government agencies such as the SBA. Loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower.

Residential real estate - All loans in this segment are collateralized by one-to-four family homes. Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to various underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Home equity - All loans and lines of credit are made to qualified individuals and are secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer ~~loans~~ other - Loans in this segment ~~are~~ include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as auto loans, recreational equipment, overdraft protection or other consumer loans. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines, as applicable.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments which is accounted for as a separate liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The level of the ACL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date.

Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2021, the Company replaced the incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when it becomes probable that a credit loss will be incurred, with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged off. The ACL is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, generally larger non-accruing commercial loans and TDRs.

Loan Origination/Risk Management: The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management and the Company's Board of Directors with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, and concentration of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and potential problem loans. The Company seeks to diversify the loan portfolio as a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Credit Quality Indicators: In monitoring the credit quality of the portfolio, management applies a credit quality indicator and uses an internal risk rating system to categorize commercial loans. These credit quality indicators range from one through nine, with a higher number correlating to increasing risk of loss. Consistent with regulatory guidelines, the Company provides for the classification of loans which are considered to be of lesser quality as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss (i.e. risk-rated 6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively).

The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass: Loans the Company considers in the commercial portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes there is a low risk of loss related to these loans considered pass-rated.

Table of Contents

Special Mention: Loans the Company considers having some potential weaknesses, but are deemed to not carry levels of risk inherent in one of the subsequent categories, are designated as special mention. A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. This might include loans which may require a higher level of supervision or internal reporting because of: (i) declining industry trends; (ii) increasing reliance on secondary sources of repayment; (iii) the poor condition of or lack of control over collateral; or (iv) failure to obtain proper documentation or any other deviations from prudent lending practices. Economic or market conditions which may, in the future, affect the obligor may warrant special mention of the asset. Loans for which an adverse trend in the borrower's operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized may be included in this classification. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risks to warrant classification.

Substandard: Loans the Company considers as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans include those loans where there is the distinct possibility of some loss of principal, if the deficiencies are not corrected.

~~Table of Contents~~

Doubtful: Loans the Company considers as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those loans that are classified as substandard. These loans have the added characteristic of a well-defined weakness which is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, and calls into question the collectability of the full balance of the loan. The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. The entire amount of the loan might not be classified as doubtful when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable. Loans are generally not classified doubtful for an extended period of time (i.e., over a year).

Loss: Loans the Company considers as losses are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted and the uncollectible amounts are charged-off. This classification does not mean the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by loan portfolio segment for the periods ended.

Pre Adoption of ASC 326 – Impaired Loans

For periods prior to the adoption of CECL, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. The Company identified loan relationships having aggregate balances in excess of $150 thousand with potential credit weaknesses. Such loan relationships were identified primarily through the Company's analysis of internal loan evaluations, past due loan reports, TDRs and loans adversely classified. Each loan so identified was then individually evaluated for impairment. Substantially all impaired loans have historically been collateral dependent, meaning repayment of the loan was expected or was considered to be provided solely from the sale of the loan's underlying collateral. For such loans, the Company measured impairment based on the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is generally determined utilizing current appraisals. A specific reserve was established in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the recorded investment in each impaired loan over the fair value of its underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. The Company's policy was to re-evaluate the fair value of collateral dependent loans at least every twelve months unless there is a known deterioration in the collateral's value, in which case a new appraisal is obtained.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as non-performing at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment and may result in a specific allowance amount allocated to an individual loan.

The following tables include the recorded investment and number of modifications identified during the periods ended. The table includes the recorded investment in the loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured. Modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, payment amounts, extensions of maturity, court ordered concessions or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 there were 0 loans that were restructured that had subsequently defaulted during the period. The evaluation of certain loans individually for specific impairment includes loans that were previously classified as TDRs or continue to be classified as TDRs.

Modifications in response to COVID-19

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The CARES Act along with a joint agency statement issued by banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 do not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in December 31, 2020 10-K for more information.

Foreclosure

Residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate that are in the process of foreclosure as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled ~~$343 thousand~~$1.1 million and $917 thousand, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

Mortgage Banking

The Company had identified and designated loans with an unpaid principal balance of ~~$10.1~~$7.9 million and ~~$23.7~~$24.0 million as residential loans held for sale at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The interest rate exposure on loans held for sale are mitigated through forward delivery commitments with certain approved secondary market investors. Forward delivery commitments were ~~$31.3~~$14.6 million, and $50.6 million, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's forward delivery commitments.

For the periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company sold ~~$69.2~~$56.1 million and $70.4 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in a net gain on sale of loans (net of costs, including direct and indirect origination costs) of ~~$1.9~~$2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

The Company sells residential loans on the secondary market with the Company primarily retaining the servicing of these loans. Servicing sold loans helps to maintain customer relationships and the Company earns fees over the servicing period. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The risks inherent in servicing assets relate primarily to level of prepayments that result from shifts in interest rates. The Company obtains third party valuations of its servicing assets portfolio quarterly, which assumptions are reflected in Fair Value disclosures.

At each date shown, the Company and the Bank met the conditions to be classified as “well-capitalized” under the relevant regulatory framework. To be categorized as "well-capitalized," an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table above.

The Company and the Bank are subject to the Basel III rule that requires the Company and the Bank to assess their Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and the Company and the Bank each exceed the minimum to be "well-capitalized." Effective January 1, 2019 all banking organizations must maintain a minimum Common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5% and a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy involves modifying the re-pricing characteristics of certain assets or liabilities so the changes in interest rates do not have a significant effect on net interest income. Thus, all of the Company's derivative contracts are considered to be interest rate contracts.

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company designates whether the derivative is part of a hedging relationship (i.e., cash flow or fair value hedge). The Company formally documents relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are highly effective and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss.

The Company offers derivative products in the form of interest rate swaps, to commercial loan customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. These instruments are executed through Master Netting Arrangements ("MNA") with financial institution counterparties or Risk Participation Agreements ("RPA") with commercial bank counterparties, for which the Company assumes a pro rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower's performance related to the derivative contract with the counterparty.

The following tables present information about derivative assets and liabilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The Company expects approximately $323 thousand of losses (pre-tax) related to the Company’s cash flow hedges to be reclassified to earnings from AOCI over the next 12 months. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of June 30, 2021.

Interest rate swaps on wholesale funding

~~In March and November 2019 and April 2020,~~As of June 30, 2021 the Company ~~entered into~~has 2 interest rate swaps on wholesale borrowings (the "SWAPS") to limit its exposure to rising interest rates over a five year term on 3-month FHLB borrowings or brokered certificates, or a combination thereof at each maturity date. ~~Under the terms~~The first of the ~~agreement, the Company has~~ 2 ~~swaps each~~agreements were entered in November 2019 with a $50.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed interest rate of ~~2.46% and~~ 1.53% ~~respectively and 1 swap~~. A second agreement was entered on April 2020 with a $25.0 million notional amount and pays a fixed rate of 0.59%. The financial institution counterparty pays the Company interest on the three-month LIBOR rate. The Company designated the ~~swap~~swaps as a cash flow hedge.

Based on direct and indirect events resulting from COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that $50 million of wholesale fundings were no longer necessary. As a result of the unprecedented nature of the pandemic the FASB staff believes that it would be acceptable for a company to determine that missed forecasts related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic need not be considered when determining whether it has exhibited a pattern of missing forecasts that would call into question its ability to accurately predict forecasted transactions and the propriety of using cash flow hedge accounting in the future for similar transactions. The FASB staff believes that this guidance did not contemplate forecasts changing so rapidly as a result of a pandemic. The March 2019 hedge with a $50.0 million notional amount and fixed rate of 2.46% was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2020, with $3.9 million loss recognized in acquisition, conversion, and other expenses as a result of the reclassification from other comprehensive income.

Interest rate swap on variable rate loans

In March 2021, the Company entered into a contract with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with its variable rate loans. The instrument is specifically designed to hedge the risk of changes in its cash flows from interest receipts attributable to changes in a contractually specified interest rate, on an amount of the Company’s variable rate loan assets equal to $50 million. The interest rate swap will effectively fix the Company’s interest rate on $50 million of 1 month USD-LIBOR-BBA (or LIBOR less two days) based loan assets at 0.806% plus the credit spread on the loans that reprices on weighted average basis. The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge.

Fair value hedges

Interest rate swap on securities

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate callable securities available-for-sale. The hedging strategy on securities converts the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the call dates of the hedged securities. During 2019, the Company entered into 8 swap transactions with a notional amount of $37.2 million designated as fair value hedges. These derivatives are intended to protect against the effects of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate securities. The fixed rates on the transactions have a weighted average of 1.696%.

Economic hedges

Forward sale commitments

The Company utilizes forward sale commitments on residential mortgage loans to hedge interest rate risk and the associated effects on the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and loans originated for sale. The forward sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives. The Company typically uses a combination of best efforts and mandatory delivery contracts. The contracts are loan sale agreements where the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. Generally, the Company may enter into contracts just prior to the loan closing with a customer.

Customer loan derivatives

The Company enters into customer loan derivatives to facilitate the risk management strategies for commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting loan swap agreements with highly rated third-party financial institutions. The loan swap agreements are free standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institutional counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes.

The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all loan swap agreements, as well as collateral or cash funds, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral is provided by cash or securities received or posted by the counterparty with net liability positions, respectively, in accordance with contract thresholds. Currently, the Company has posted cash of ~~$12.7~~$14.7 million with counterparties.

Non-hedging derivatives

Interest rate lock commitments

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs relate to the origination of residential mortgage loans that are held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs subsequent to inception are based on; (i) changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and (ii) changes in the probability when the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Securities Available for Sale: All securities and major categories of securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing providers. The fair value measurements used by the pricing providers consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market maker quotes and live trading systems. If quoted prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as market pricing spreads, credit information, callable features, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, default rates, and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges. The valuation of the Company's cash flow hedges are obtained from a third party. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The inputs used to value the Company's cash flow hedges are all classified as Level 2 measurements.

~~Table of Contents~~

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. The Company enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. The estimated

Table of Contents

fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood of a loan in a lock position will ultimately close. The closing ratio is derived from the Company’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. As such, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. The Company utilizes forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the IRLCs and loans originated for sale. The fair values of the Company’s mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined similarly to the IRLCs using quoted prices in the market place that are observable. However, closing ratios included in the calculation are internally generated and are based on management’s judgment and prior experience, which are not considered observable factors. As such, mandatory delivery forward commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Customer Loan Derivatives. The valuation of the Company’s customer loan derivatives is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of master netting arrangements and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its customer loan derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021:

Individually evaluated loans. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments relating to real estate collateral have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value for other collateral supporting commercial loans are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3.

Capitalized loan servicing rights. A loan servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans exceed adequate compensation for performing the servicing. The fair value of loan servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”). OREO results from the foreclosure process on residential or commercial loans issued by the Company. Upon assuming the real estate, the Company records the property at the fair value of the asset less the estimated sales costs. Thereafter, OREO properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. OREO fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Premises held for sale. Assets held for sale, identified as part of the Company’s strategic review and branch optimization exercise, were transferred from premises and equipment at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. Assets held for sale fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Trust Management Fees

The trust management business generates revenue through a range of fiduciary services including trust and estate administration, wealth advisory, and investment management to individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities. Revenue from these services are generally recognized over time and is typically based on a time elapsed measure of service. Certain fees, such as bill paying fees, distribution fees, real estate sale fees, and supplemental tax service fees, are recorded as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Financial Services Fees

Bar Harbor Financial Services is a branch office of Infinex, an independent registered broker dealer offering securities and insurance products not affiliated with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has a revenue sharing agreement with Infinex for any financial service fee income generated. Financial services fees are recognized at a point in time upon the completion of service requirements.

Interchange Fees

The Company earns interchange fees from transaction fees that merchants pay whenever a customer uses a debit card to make a purchase from their store. The fees are paid to the card-issuing bank to cover handling costs, fraud, bad debt costs and the risk involved in approving the payment. Interchange fees are generally recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of a debit card transaction.

Customer Deposit Fees

The Customer Deposit business offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates, fee schedules and other terms, which are designed to meet the customer's financial needs. Additional depositor-related services provided to customers include ATM, bank-by-phone, internet banking, internet bill pay, mobile banking, and other cash management services which include remote deposit capture, ACH origination, and wire transfers. These customer deposit fees are generally recognized by the Company at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Table of Contents

Other Customer Service Fees

The Company has certain incentive and referral fee arrangements with independent third parties in which fees are earned for new account activity, product sales, or transaction volume generated for the respective third parties. The Company also earns a percentage of the fees generated from third-party credit card plans promoted through the Bank. Revenue from these incentive and referral fee arrangements are recognized over time using the right to invoice measure of progress.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

The following table provides information about contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenues from contracts with customers:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Balances from contracts with customers only:
Other Assets	$	1,293	$	1,121	$	1,190	$	1,121
Other Liabilities		2,664		2,785		2,545		2,785

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. For most customer contracts, fees are deducted directly from customer accounts and, therefore, there is no associated impact on the accounts receivable balance. For certain types of service contracts, the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under the service contract and an accounts receivable balance is recorded for services completed. When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company currently expenses contract costs for processing and administrative fees for debit card transactions. The Company also expenses custody fees and transactional costs associated with securities transactions as well as third party tax preparation fees. The Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

NOTE 11. LEASES

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” and all subsequent ASUs modifying ASC 842. Substantially all of the leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2040. All leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. With the adoption of ASC 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability using the modified retrospective approach.

The Company elected the following practical expedients in conjunction with implementation of ASC 842 as follows:

●	Package of practical expedients:

Lease classification as an operating lease under the prior standards is grandfathered.

Re-evaluation of embedded leases evaluated under the prior standards is not required.

No re-assessment of previously recorded initial direct lease costs.

●	Election to exclude short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), from capitalization on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the consolidated statements of condition classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities:


(in thousands)	Classification	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		Classification	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Lease Right-of-Use Assets
Operating lease right-of-use assets	Other assets	$	10,056	$	10,338	Other assets	$	9,773	$	10,338

Lease Liabilities
Operating lease liabilities	Other liabilities		10,368		10,627	Other liabilities		10,107		10,627

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used for the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. If there are multiple renewals typically only the next lease renewal is considered. Regarding the discount rate, ASC 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

The following table presents the weighted average lease term and discount rate of the Company’s leases:


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020		June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)
Operating leases	9.02		9.26		8.80		9.26

Weighted-average discount rate
Operating leases	3.15	%	3.15	%	3.15	%	3.15	%

Table of Contents

The following table represents lease costs, which includes prepaids and expenses and other lease information. As the Company elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance and utilities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item that management excludes when computing non-GAAP adjusted earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. The Company's non-GAAP adjusted earnings information set forth is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information that may be presented by other companies. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for adjusted revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts that the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.

The Company also calculates adjusted earnings per share based on its measure of adjusted earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.

Profitability increased with higher fee income driven from growth in core deposits and assets under management. Customer service income also returned to ~~1.11%.

The 8% annualized growth in ~~total~~ commercial loans during the second quarter 2021, excluding PPP loans, higher wealth management and mortgage banking income, lower core non-interest expenses and a credit provision recapture. The Company had a 13% increase in core pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue reflecting a continued development across its varying businesses lines. Wealth management income increased 9% due to a 23% increase in assets under management (“AUM”) in the first quarter 2021, compared to the same quarter of 2020. Balancing growth with earnings is a key fundamental toreflects the Company’s ~~business model.

The Company’s Retail and Commercial loan teams continue to generate ~~significant gains from residential loan sales that are more profitable~~new core deposit accounts, especially in ~~the short and long term versus recording them on the balance sheet.~~

~~With a continued focus on profitability, the Company reduced most categories of~~ non-interest expense during the first quarter 2021 as compared with the same quarter 2020. Additionally, the Company started an intensive review of non-interest expense leveraging a strategic third-party partner. The goal of the review is to identify normalized expense run-rates that are optimal for the Company’s current size and footprint, and establish sustainable run-rates that allow for revenue growth in the future. The Company recorded one-time charges related to early retirement and reduction in workforce initiatives, as a result of early milestones achieved in the expense review. Those one-time charges are expected to decrease salary and benefit expense by morebearing categories. More than ~~$3.0 million annually starting~~1,000 new banking relationships were created in the second quarter ~~2021.

With the increase in mortgage rates in the beginning of the ~~review~~quarter 2021, the Company chose to selectively add residential loans to the balance sheet, which helped to offset amortization and ~~action plans are expected~~prepayments.

The Company continued to ~~be completed~~organically grow capital levels expanding tangible equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) to 8.23% while maintaining exceptional credit quality. All credit metrics remain strong and further improved in the second quarter, primarily marked by lower past dues, minimal net charge-offs and improved coverage ratios. Risk ratings in the second quarter 2021 continue to migrate favorably across most loan categories. The large majority of loan modification concessions made during the pandemic have resumed normal repayment schedules as of the end of the second ~~quarter.~~ quarter 2021.

The ~~Company’s provision for credit losses was a benefit to earnings~~Company had $105 million of ~~$500 thousand due to improved macroeconomic expectations along with lower specific reserves. Quarterly stress testing and tightly managed credit disciplines also contributed to~~wholesale deposits mature on the ~~recapture~~last day of the ~~Company’s provision.~~

~~Liquidity levels increased through new~~second quarter 2021, which will benefit its cost of funds going forward. The quarterly trend in NIM is starting to level off, excluding non-recurring items noted above, as the Company continues to reduce wholesale borrowings and grows core ~~deposit account openings totaling 4,300~~deposits. Excluding the effects of one-time items, second quarter NIM was 2.95% compared with the same adjusted metric of 2.86% in the first quarter ~~2021, which sustained the Company’s loans to deposits ratio at 88% from year-end 2020.

Given an overall asset sensitive balance sheet position and a more core-funded profile, the Company is well positioned for when rates start to optimize cost of funds by reducing wholesale funding as a percentage of total debt to 15%, compared to 29% for the first quarter 2020. Over the past several quarters excess liquidity was used to fund earning asset growth, specifically in commercial loans.increase.

The Company ~~adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), “Measurement~~initiated a comprehensive review of ~~Credit Losses~~non-interest expenses in the first quarter of 2021, which included an annual reduction to salary and benefits of more than $3.0 million along with cost savings associated with vendor contracts and process efficiencies. Some of the identified savings reduced second quarter expense run-rates while other cost savings will be phased in depending on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the current incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach, effective January 1, 2021., The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective approach method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and OBS credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2021 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amountscontract timelines.

by $5.2 million and reserve for unfunded commitments by $1.6 million. As a result of the adoption, the coverage ratio of ACL to total loans increased to 0.94% from 0.76% in the fourth quarter of 2020, excluding PPP loans. While uncertainties around general economic factors still exist, the Company continues to observe positive trends in its credit quality indicators. Specifically, past due accounts within the commercial real estate and residential product lines were significantly down from year-end 2020 and total past due accounts were about half of levels experienced prior to the pandemic. Past due accounts totaled $15.7 million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $31.1 million for the same quarter of 2020.

The Company continues to support customers with PPP loans and COVID related loan modifications. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $23.7 million and $54.2 million of PPP loans that were originated in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Unearned fees on PPP loans at quarter-end were $340 thousand from 2020 originations and $3.5 million from 2021 originations. Although most of these loans are expected to be forgiven, the impact is not expected to have a significant effect on the operating results of any single quarter in 2021. COVID modifications totaled $43.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021, down from $68.6 million at year-end 2020, and largely represent commercial loans. These modifications are considered modest and backed by the strong credit quality of the borrowers. Most of the modifications are set to resume normal principal and interest payments starting in the second quarter 2021.

The Company’s capital position continues to strengthen with growth in tangible book value on a 7% organic basis that excludes unrealized security gains and the impact of adopting CECL (non-GAAP). As previously announced, the Company increased its quarterly cash dividend 9% with an approximate annual yield of 3.26%, just after its repurchase of approximately 720 thousand shares in 2020. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, authorizing the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, representing approximately 747 thousand shares as of March 31, 2021, which is authorized to last no longer than 12 months. These return of capital measures are supported by expanded earnings, continuous growth in capital and on-going profitability programs, validating the Company’s commitment to building shareholder value.

Other liabilities totaled $61.6 million at the end of the second quarter 2021 compared to $72.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease primarily reflects the $8.4 million reduction in the fair value of customer loan derivatives and a $1.3 million decrease in the cash flow hedge on wholesale borrowings.

The return on asset ratios improved on higher net income and lower average assets.

The Company reported first half 2021 net income of $18.5 million or $1.23 per diluted share, compared with $16.2 million or $1.04 per diluted share in the same period of 2020. Adjusted earnings increased to $19.8 million, or $1.32 per diluted share comparedwith$16.4million,or$1.06per diluted share,fortherespectiveperiods.Non-recurring items (non-GAAP) in the first six months reduced net income by $1.3 million and $188 thousand in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Thesechangeslargelyreflectthesame factors and trends discussed above that drove second quarter net income and average assets.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was ~~$23.4~~$22.8 million in the second quarter 2021 compared with $24.6 million in the same quarter of 2020. Net interest margin ~~(“NIM”)~~was 2.74% compared to 2.93% in ~~the first~~second quarter of ~~2021 was 2.88% compared to 3.04% in the same period of~~ 2020. The decrease in NIM is due to the Federal Reserve rate cuts in response to the pandemic, which lowered the yields on many classes of earning assets and also lowered the costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on earning assets was 3.46% compared to 4.12% in the first quarter 2020 reflecting loan originations and repricing of variable rate products in a lower interest rate environment. Costs of funds decreased to 0.72% compared to 1.28% in the first quarter 2020 due to lower rates and reductions to wholesale funding afforded by significant growth in core deposits. PPP loans ~~added 10~~contributed 7 basis points to NIM during the quarter as the majority of the remaining 2020 originations were forgiven. Accretion on PPP loans originated in ~~the first quarter~~ 2021 are not expected to materially affect NIM until loans are forgiven starting in the third ~~quarter. Settlement~~quarter 2021. Interest-bearing cash balances reduced NIM by 19 basis points. The yield on earning assets totaled 3.26% compared to 3.73% in the second quarter 2020.

For the first six months of 2021, net interest income was $46.2 million compared with $49.2 million in the ~~form~~same period of 2020. The comparison of NIM and earning asset yields for the respective periods of 2021 and 2020 were 2.81% and 3.02%, and 3.36% and 3.97%. The decrease is NIM and yield was driven by rate drops after the pandemic started in 2020 combined with growth in the Company’s interest-bearing cash ~~balances held mostly at the Federal Reserve Bank~~balances. PPP loan accretion in 2021 helped to offset interest rate compression. Cost of funds in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2021 ~~reduced NIM~~decreased to 0.69% from 1.12% in the same period of 2020. Costs of interest-bearing deposits decreased in the first six months of 2021 to 0.48% compared to 0.94% in the same months of 2020. These improvements were also due to a lower interest rate environment triggered by ~~15 basis points.~~

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income in the second quarter 2021 was $9.5 million, compared to $9.7 million in the same quarter of 2020. Excluding gain on sales of securities, non-interest income increased 13% on higher customer service fees, wealth management income, and gains on loan sales. Customer service fees increased 34% from the second quarter of 2020 as customer transactions exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, these fees benefited from the Company’s previously announced fee strategies implemented at the beginning of 2021. Wealth management income increased 20% in the second quarter 2021 compared to the same quarter of 2020 as assets under management increased to $2.4 billion or 12%. Mortgage banking activities continue to provide a significant amount of fee income, increasing to $1.6 million in the second quarter 2021 from $1.1 million in the same period of 2020.

Non-interest income for the first half of 2021 was $19.8 million compared to $18.1 million in the same period in 2020 and increased 18% excluding gain on sales of securities. The increase reflects a 12% increase in customer service fees, 14% in wealth management income, and 161% increase in mortgage banking income; all of which were driven by the same reasons as the quarterly period.

Non-Interest ~~Income~~

Non-interest income in the first quarter 2021 increased 21% to $10.2 million from $8.4 million in the same quarter in 2020 due to higher wealth management and mortgage banking income. While customer service fees were slightly down compared to the first quarter 2020, the income has been building up on a sequential quarter basis and is approaching pre-pandemic levels. Wealth management is up 9% as AUM expanded 23% over the first quarter of 2020 due to the strength of the Company’s newly consolidated platform and improved market conditions. Mortgage banking activities continue to contribute a significant amount of fee income due to the favorability of sales given the current interest rate environment. Net gains from sales totaled $1.9 million in the first quarter 2021 and $186 thousand in the first quarter of 2020.

~~Non-Interest~~ Expense

Non-interest expense ~~was $22.5~~improved to $21.7 million in the ~~first~~second quarter 2021 ~~compared to $22.4~~from $22.3 million in the same quarter of 2020. ~~Included in non-interest~~Salaries and benefits expense decreased 5% due to implementing workforce reduction programs at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Company’s year-to-date efficiency ratio was 62.2% in 2021 compared to 62.7% in 2020 which reflects managements disciplined approach to expense management as revenue grows and the above noted expense initiatives. Non-recurring expenses (non-GAAP) in the first half of 2021 totaled $1.8 million and $1.7 million in the same period of 2020. In the first half of 2021these expenses mostly consisted of workforce reduction charges and in 2020 primarily consisted of a loss on debt extinguishment.

Income Tax Expense

The second quarter effective tax rate ~~was 18.8% for both~~decreased to 20.1% in 2021 compared with 20.6% in the ~~first~~same quarter of ~~2021 and~~ 2020, reflecting higher pre-tax income being offset by the proportional amounts of tax-advantaged revenue.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Liquidity is measured by the Company's ability to meet short-term cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimal loss. The Company seeks to obtain favorable sources of liabilities and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. Besides serving as a funding source for maturing obligations, liquidity provides flexibility in responding to customer-initiated needs. Many factors affect the Company's ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served by its network of offices, its mix of assets and liabilities, reputation and credit standing in the marketplace, and general economic conditions.

The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through target ratios established under its Asset-Liability Management Policy. Continual monitoring of these ratios, by using historical data and through forecasts under multiple rate and stress scenarios, allows the Bank to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. The Bank's policy is to maintain a liquidity position of at least 4% of total assets. A portion of the Bank's deposit base has been historically seasonal in nature, with balances typically declining in the winter months through late spring, during which period the Bank's liquidity position tightens.

The Company’s liquidity position remains strong. During the quarter we initiated pandemic-specific liquidity stress tests to analyze potential impacts from payment deferrals, unanticipated use of committed lines of credit, as well as the possibility of required servicer advances on sold loans. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, ~~same day~~ available same-day liquidity totaled approximately $1.2 billion, including cash, borrowing capacity at ~~the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”)~~FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window and various lines of credit. Additional sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, wholesale deposits, cash flow from the ~~Bank's~~Company's amortizing securities and loan portfolios. ~~At March 31, 2021, the~~The Company had unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB of ~~$400.8~~$372.8 million, unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve of ~~$73.8~~$74.3 million and unused lines of credit totaling $51.0 ~~million.~~million, in addition to over $200.0 million in unencumbered, liquid investment portfolio assets.

The Bank maintains a liquidity contingency plan approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. This plan addresses the steps that would be taken in the event of a liquidity crisis, and identifies other sources of liquidity available to the Company. Company management believes the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements. However, changes in economic conditions, including consumer savings habits and availability or access to the brokered deposit market could potentially have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is, from time to time, a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that may be material to investors.

6774

Table of Contents

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit whereby the Bank guarantees the obligations or performance of certain customers. These letters of credit are sometimes issued in support of third-party debt. The risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and they are subject to the same origination, portfolio maintenance and management procedures in effect to monitor other credit products. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon issuance of a standby letter of credit, is based upon management's credit evaluation of the customer.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements have not changed materially since previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and in the most recent Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company. Other types of market risk do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.

The responsibility for interest rate risk management oversight is the function of the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”), chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and composed of various members of senior management. ALCO meets regularly to review balance sheet structure, formulate strategies in light of current and expected economic conditions, adjust product prices as necessary, implement policy, monitor liquidity, and review performance against guidelines established to control exposure to the various types of inherent risk.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk can be defined as an exposure to movement in interest rates that could have an adverse impact on the Bank's net interest income. Interest rate risk arises from the imbalance in the re-pricing, maturity and or cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities. Management's objectives are to measure, monitor and develop strategies in response to the interest rate risk profile inherent in the Bank's balance sheet. The objectives in managing the Bank's balance sheet are to preserve the sensitivity of net interest income to actual or potential changes in interest rates, and to enhance profitability through strategies that promote sufficient reward for understood and controlled risk.

The Bank's interest rate risk measurement and management techniques incorporate the re-pricing and cash flow attributes of balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments as each relate to current and potential changes in interest rates. The level of interest rate risk, measured in terms of the potential future effect on net interest income, is determined through the use of modeling and other techniques under multiple interest rate scenarios. Interest rate risk is evaluated in depth on a quarterly basis and reviewed by ALCO and the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Bank's Asset Liability Management Policy, approved annually by the Bank’s Board of Directors, establishes interest rate risk limits in terms of variability of net interest income under rising, flat, and decreasing rate scenarios. It is the role of the ALCO to evaluate the overall risk profile and to determine actions to maintain and achieve a posture consistent with policy guidelines.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Modeling: The Bank utilizes an interest rate risk model widely recognized in the financial industry to monitor and measure interest rate risk. The model simulates the behavior of interest income and expense for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments, under different interest rate scenarios together with a dynamic future balance sheet. Interest rate risk is measured in terms of potential changes in net interest income based upon shifts in the yield curve.

The interest rate risk sensitivity model requires that assets and liabilities be broken down into components as to fixed, variable, and adjustable interest rates, as well as other homogeneous groupings, which are segregated as to maturity and type of instrument. The model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to evolve through time and in different interest rate environments. The model uses contractual re-pricing dates for variable products, contractual maturities for fixed rate products, and product-specific assumptions for deposit accounts, such as money market accounts, that are subject to re-pricing based on current market conditions. Re-pricing margins are also determined for adjustable rate assets and incorporated in the model. Investment securities and borrowings with call provisions are examined on an individual basis in each rate environment to estimate the likelihood of exercise. Prepayment assumptions for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds, based upon similar coupon ranges and degree of seasoning. Cash flows and maturities are then determined, and for certain assets, prepayment assumptions are estimated under different interest rate scenarios. Interest income and interest expense are then simulated under several hypothetical interest rate conditions including:

A flat interest rate scenario in which current prevailing rates are locked in and the only balance sheet fluctuations that occur are due to cash flows, maturities, new volumes, and re-pricing volumes consistent with this flat rate assumption;

6976

Table of Contents

A 200 basis point rise or decline in interest rates (or as appropriate given the absolute level of market rates) applied against a parallel shift in the yield curve over a twelve-month horizon together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes;

Various non-parallel shifts in the yield curve, including changes in either short-term or long-term rates over a twelve-month horizon, together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes; and

An extension of the foregoing simulations to each of two, three, four and five year horizons to determine the interest rate risk with the level of interest rates stabilizing in years two through five. Even though rates remain stable during this two to five year time period, re-pricing opportunities driven by maturities, cash flow, and adjustable rate products will continue to change the balance sheet profile for each of the interest rate conditions.

Changes in net interest income based upon the foregoing simulations are measured against the flat interest rate scenario and actions are taken to maintain the balance sheet interest rate risk within established policy guidelines.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 interest rate sensitivity modeling results indicate that the Bank’s balance sheet in years 1 and 2 was modestly asset sensitive.

Assuming short-term and long-term interest rates decline 100 basis points from current levels (i.e., a parallel yield curve shift) and the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels, management believes net interest income will deteriorate over the one year horizon ~~(-2.0%~~(-2.1% versus the base case) while deteriorating further from that level over the two-year horizon ~~(-10.0%~~(-11.4% versus the base case).

Assuming the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels and the Federal Reserve increases short-term interest rates by 200 basis points with the balance of the yield curve shifting in parallel with these increases, management believes net interest income will improve over the one and two-year horizons ~~(6.9%~~(8.5% and ~~14.9%~~14.4%, respectively).

As compared to December 31, 2020, the year-one sensitivity in the down 100 basis points scenario was up slightly for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 (-2.6% prior, versus ~~-2.0%~~-2.1% current). The year-two sensitivities in the down 100 basis points scenario were mostly unchanged going from -9.5% to ~~-10.0%~~-11.4%. In the year-one up 200 basis points scenario, results were again similar going from 7.7% to ~~6.9%~~8.5%. Year-two, up 200 basis points was down (18.4% prior, versus ~~14.9%~~14.4% current).

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels and yield curve shape, prepayment speeds on loans and securities, deposit rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and renegotiated loan terms with borrowers. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results may also differ due to: prepayment and refinancing levels deviating from those assumed; the impact of interest rate changes, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets; the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans; depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes; and other such variables. The sensitivity analysis also does not reflect additional actions that the Bank’s Senior Executive Team and Board of Directors might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates, and the anticipated impact on the Bank’s net interest income.
