SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Presentation of Financial Information

Nature of Business:

SmartFinancial, Inc. (the "Company""Company," “SmartFinancial,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, SmartBank (the "Bank"). The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its offices in East and Middle Tennessee, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. The Bank’s primary deposit products are noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits. Its primary lending products are commercial, residential, and consumer loans.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Estimates:

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reporting guidelines of banking regulatory authorities and regulators. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for the Company and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary have not been audited. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made. These adjustments are normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets and deferred taxes, other than temporary impairments of securities, the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, and the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim periods. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2019,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, 2020-04“Simplifying, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  This ASU simplifiesEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for income taxes by eliminating certainreference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim periodcontract modifications and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences.  The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill.  Finally, it clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are nothedging relationships, subject to income tax are not requiredmeeting certain criteria, that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). It is intended to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so.  ASU 2019-12help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for interimall entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company implemented a transition plan to identify and annual reporting periods beginning aftermodify its loans and other financial instruments, including certain indebtedness, with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. As of December 15, 2020.31, 2021, the Company ceased issuance of new LIBOR loans. Alternative reference rates at this time are predominantly Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) based.  Remaining LIBOR transition project activities include remediation of remaining LIBOR products by June of 2023. ASU 2019-12 did2020-04 will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements:

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20202021, as filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements issued but not yet effective that could impact the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.

In October 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved a delay for the implementation of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Board decided that the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

model will be effective for larger Public Business Entities ("PBEs") that are SEC filers, excluding Smaller Reporting Companies ("SRCs") as currently defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim

Table of Contents

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

periods within those fiscal years. For calendar-year-end companies that are not SRCs, this will be January 1, 2020. The determination of whether an entity is an SRC will be based on an entity’s most recent assessment in accordance with SEC regulations and the Company meets the regulations as an SRC. For SRCs and other entities, the Board decided that CECL will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all entities, early adoption will continue to be permitted; that is, early adoption is allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (that is, effective January 1, 2019, for calendar-year-end companies). The Company does not plan to adopt this standard early and being that the Company is an SRC, adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

Under the CECL model, we will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model currently required under GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, we expect that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how we determine our allowance for loan losses and could require us to significantly increase our allowance. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of our allowance for loan losses. If we are required to materially increase our level of allowance for loan losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A cross-functional working group comprised of individuals from credit administration, risk management and accounting and finance are in place implementing and developing the data, forecast, processes, and portfolio segmentation that will be used in the models that will estimate the expected credit loss for each loan segment. The Company has contracted with a third party vendor solution to assist us in the application, analysis, and model development required with implementation of ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, and it will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolio, as well as the economic conditions and forecasts as of each reporting period. These economic conditions and forecasts could be significantly different in future periods.

In March 2020,2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-042022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitationwhich allows multiple hedged layers to be designated for a single closed portfolio of financial assets resulting in a greater portion of the Effectsinterest rate risk in the closed portfolio being eligible to be hedged. The amendments allow the flexibility to use different types of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optionalderivatives or combinations of derivatives to better align with risk management strategies. Furthermore, among other things, the amendments clarify that basis adjustments of hedged items in the closed portfolio should be allocated at the portfolio level and not the individual assets within the portfolio. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2022-01 prospectively. If an entity elects to easeearly adopt ASU 2022-01 in an interim period, the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria,guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). It is intended to help stakeholders duringincludes the global market-wide reference rate transitioninterim period.  The Company is implementing a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments, including certain indebtedness, with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company is assessing ASU 2020-042022-01 and its impact on its accounting and disclosures.

In March 2022, the transition away from LIBORFASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which removes the accounting guidance for itstroubled debt restructurings and requires entities to evaluate whether a modification provided to a borrower results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosures and otherrequire new disclosures for receivables when there has been a modification in contractual cash flows due to a borrower experiencing financial instruments.

Operating, Accountingdifficulties. Additionally, the amendments require public business entities to disclose gross charge-off information by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The guidance is effective for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13 for fiscal years, and Reporting Considerations relatedinterim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2022-02 prospectively. If an entity elects to COVID-19:

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy.  In response to this crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief.  Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications – Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes.  See Note 5 - Loans and Leases and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses for more information.
Paycheck Protection Program - The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), an expansion of the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), administered directly by the SBA.  On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”) was signed into law.  The CAA provides several amendments to the PPP, including additional funding for first and second draws of PPP loans up to March 31, 2021.  On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed into law, which extends the program to May 31, 2021.  The Company is a participant in the PPP.  See Note 5 - Loans and Leases and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses for more information.

Accounting for Loan Modifications - Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR.  The agencies confirmed with FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs.  This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as

Past Due Reporting - With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral.  A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement.  If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid an aggregate amount of consideration to the Fountain members of $14.0 million in cash at closing, and the Company repaid approximately $45.8 million of Fountain’s indebtedness.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and restricted stock. The effect from the stock options and restricted stock on incremental shares from the assumed conversions for net income per share-basic and net income per share-diluted are presented below. There were 0 antidilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively.

At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, securities with a carrying value totaling approximately $122.4$219.6 million and $80.2$201.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company transferred $162.4 million of available-for-sale securities to the held-to-maturity category, reflecting the Company’s intent to hold those securities to maturity. Transfers of investment securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The

related $2.0 million of unrealized holding loss that was included in the transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. This amount will be amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the remaining life of the securities. This will offset the impact of amortization of the net premium created in the transfer. There were 0 gains or losses recognized as a result of this transfer.

The Company has entered into variousentered-into-various fair value hedging transactions to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates on the fair values of available for sale securities. See Note 11 – Derivatives Financial Instruments for disclosure of the gains and losses recognized on derivative instruments and the cumulative fair value hedging adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged securities.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at March 31, 2022 by contractual maturity for non-mortgage backed securities are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The Company reviews the securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in fair value is other-than-temporary takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Some factors the Company may consider in the other-than-temporary impairment analysis include the length of time and extent to which

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

the security has been in an unrealized loss position, changes in security ratings, financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as security and industry specific economic conditions.

Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that any unrealized losses at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, represented a temporary impairment, as these unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and current market conditions, and not credit deterioration of the issuers. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company does not intend, to sell any of the securities, does not expect toor be required, to sell any of the securities, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost of all of the securities.

1 Purchased Credit Impaired loans and leases (“PCI loans and leases”) are loans and leases with evidence of credit deterioration at purchase.

For purposes of the disclosures required pursuant to ASC 310, the loan and lease portfolio was disaggregated into segments. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for creditloan and lease losses. There are 6 loan and lease portfolio segments that include commercial real estate, consumer real estate, construction and land development, commercial and industrial, leases, and consumer and other.

The following describe risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments:

Commercial Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans include owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and loans secured by income-producing properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans to operating businesses are long-

As previously mentioned in Note 1 – Presentationterm financing of Financial Information, the CARES Act established the PPP, administered directly by the SBA.  The PPP provides loans of up to $10 million to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash-flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcareland and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during the COVID-19 emergency.  PPP loans carry an interest rate of one percent, and a maturity of two or five years.buildings. These loans are fully guaranteedrepaid by cash flow generated from the business operation. Real estate loans for income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers are repaid from rent income derived from the properties. Loans within this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.

Consumer Real Estate: Consumer real estate loans include real estate loans secured by first liens, second liens, or open end real estate loans, such as home equity lines. These are repaid by various means such as a borrower’s income, sale of the property, or rental income derived from the property. Loans within this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.

Construction and Land Development: Loans for real estate construction and development are repaid through cash flow related to the operations, sale or refinance of the underlying property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of the real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. Loans within this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.

Commercial and Industrial: The commercial and industrial loan portfolio segment includes commercial and financial loans. These loans include those loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, or expansion projects. Loans are repaid by business cash flows. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the SBAcreditworthiness of the underlying borrower, particularly cash flows from the customers’ business operations.

Leases: The lease portfolio segment includes leases to small and mid-size companies for equipment financing leases. These leases are not includedsecured by a secured interest in the equipment being leased.

Consumer and Other: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes direct consumer installment loans, overdrafts and other revolving credit loans, and educational loans. Loans in this portfolio are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

Credit Risk Management:

The Company employs a credit risk management process with defined policies, accountability and routine reporting to manage credit risk in the loan and lease portfolio segments. Credit risk management is guided by credit policies that provide for a consistent and prudent approach to underwriting and approvals of credits. Within the Credit Policy, procedures exist that elevate the approval requirements as credits become larger and more complex. All loans and leases are individually underwritten, risk-rated, approved, and monitored.

Responsibility and accountability for adherence to underwriting policies and accurate risk ratings lies in each portfolio segment. For the consumer real estate and consumer and other portfolio segments, the risk management process focuses on managing customers who become delinquent in their payments. For the other portfolio segments, the risk management process focuses on underwriting new business and, on an ongoing basis, monitoring the credit of the portfolios, including a third party review of the largest credits on an annual basis or more frequently, as needed. To ensure problem credits are identified on a timely basis, several specific portfolio reviews occur periodically to assess the larger adversely rated credits for proper risk rating and accrual status.

Credit quality and trends in the loan and lease portfolio segments are measured and monitored regularly. Detailed reports, by product, collateral, accrual status, etc., are reviewed by Director, Management and Loan Committees.

The allowance for loan and lease losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan and lease losses charged against income. The allowance for loan and lease losses, which is evaluated quarterly, is maintained at a level that management deems sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Loans and leases deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

specific valuation allowances for loans and leases evaluated individually for impairment and general allocations for pools of homogeneous loans and leases with similar risk characteristics and trends.

The allowance for loan and lease losses related to specific loans and leases is based on management’s estimate of potential losses on impaired loans and leases as determined by (1) the present value of expected future cash flows; (2) the fair value of collateral if the loan or lease is determined to be collateral dependent or (3) the loan’s or leases’ observable market price. The Company’s homogeneous loan and lease pools include commercial real estate loans, consumer real estate loans, construction and land development loans, commercial and industrial loans, leases and consumer and other loans. The general allocations to these loan and lease pools are based on the historical loss rates for specific loan and lease types and the internal risk grade, if applicable, adjusted for both internal and external qualitative risk factors.

The qualitative factors considered by management include, among other factors, (1) changes in local and national economic conditions; (2) changes in asset quality; (3) changes in loan and lease portfolio volume; (4) the composition and concentrations of credit; (5) the impact of competition on loan and lease structuring and pricing; (6) the impact of the regulatory environment and changes in laws; (7) effectiveness of the Company’s loan and lease policies, procedures and internal controls; (8) COVID-19 loan modification factor and (9) COVID-19 Q factor, which is based upon active COVID cases within the Company’s footprint.  The total allowance established for each homogeneous loan and lease pool represents the product of the historical loss ratio adjusted for qualitative factors and the total dollar amount of the loans and leases in the pool.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance calculations. for loan and lease losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and leases, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

The Company’s loans and leases are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although the Company has a diversified loan and lease portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local economic conditions.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans and leases may be eligible for forgiveness bynecessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the SBAestimated losses on loans and leases. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the extenttime of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the proceeds are used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made as long as certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels.  PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company.  The SBA pays the Company fees for processing PPPestimated losses on loans and leases may change materially in the near term.

At March 31, 2022, the net deferred fees are accountedoutstanding was $972 thousand for the 2021 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP“) loans and as loan origination fees and recognized over the contractual loan term as a yield adjustment on the loans. At June 30,of December 31, 2021, the net deferred fees outstanding for the 2020 PPP loans is $131 thousand and $6.5 million for the 2021 PPP loans respectively.  At December 31, 2020, the net deferred fees outstanding for the 2020 PPP loans is $4.2was $2.0 million.  PPP loans are included in the Commercial and Industrial loan segments. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had 2,015273 PPP loans outstanding, with an outstanding principal balance of $178.9$27.9 million and as of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had 2,863587 PPP loans outstanding, with an outstanding principal balance of $288.9$52.2 million.

Past Due Loans and Leases:

A loan or lease is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan or lease agreement. Generally, management places a loan or lease on nonaccrual when there is a clear indicator that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan or lease is 90 days past due.

Impaired Loans and Leases:

The following is an analysisleases in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the impairedapparent ability to satisfy their loan and lease portfolio, including PCI loansobligations. Loans and leases detailingin this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the relatedcapacity to repay the debt if required, for any weakness that may exist.

Watch: Loans and leases in this risk category involve borrowers that exhibit characteristics, or are operating under conditions that, if not successfully mitigated as planned, have a reasonable risk of resulting in a downgrade within the next six to twelve months. Loans and leases may remain in this risk category for six months and then are either upgraded or downgraded upon subsequent evaluation.

Special Mention: Loans and leases in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of "Other Assets Especially Mentioned" classification. Loans and leases in this category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and /or reliance on the secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position.

Substandard: Loans and leases in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower’s current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans and leases in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

Uncollectible: Loans and leases in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan or lease has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan or lease, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan and lease losses are taken in the period in which the loan or lease becomes uncollectible. Consequently, the Company typically does not maintain a recorded (investment in thousands):loans or leases within this category.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

For the periods presented, impaired loans included loans that were classified as TDRs.trouble debt restricting (“TDRs”). The restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the debtor is currently in payment default on any of its debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the debtor’s projected cash flow is sufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

The Company considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by the Company include the debtor’s ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan.

The most common concessions granted by the Company generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt; (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments; and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or remaining term of the loan.

As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, management had approximately $219$625 thousand and $257$206 thousand, respectively, in loans that met the criteria for TDR, NaN of which were on nonaccrual. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current, and it is probable that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.

There were 0 loans that were modified as a TDR during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 1 loan that was modified during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were 0 loans that were modified as TDRs during the past six months and for which there was a subsequent payment default.

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act along with a joint agency statement issued by banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. See Note 1 Presentation of Financial Information for more information.  At June 30, 2021, the Company had 0 loans remaining under COVID-19 modifications. 

Foreclosure Proceedings and Balances:

As of June 30, 2021, there was 1 residential property secured by real estate included in other real estate owned and there were 2 residential real estate loans totaling $103 thousand in the process of foreclosure.

Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other, regarding testing goodwill for impairment provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 of each year. Considering the recent economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic the Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment test (which compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill) at December 31, 2020,For 2021, the results indicated that there was 0 impairment. Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting periods for applicable changes.

The Company’s other intangible assets consist of core deposit, customer relationships and tradename.  They are initially recognized based on a valuation performed as of the consummation date. The core deposit intangible is amortized over the average remaining lifequalitative assessment provided no indication of the acquired customer deposits, the customer relationships are amortized over a weighted average of 8.6 years and the tradename is amortized over five years.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing and depository needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The majority of all commitments to extend credit are variable rate instruments while the standby letters of credit are primarily fixed rate instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Company’s total contractual amount for all off-balance sheet commitments are as follows (in(in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit issued by the Company are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances which the Company deems necessary. At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the carrying amount of liabilities related to the Company’s obligation to perform under standby letters of credit was insignificant.

The Company is subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On an on-going basis, the Company assesses any potential liabilities or contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is deemed probable that the Company will incur losses and the amount of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company would record an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements.

Note 10. Fair Value Disclosures

Determination of Fair Value:

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ASC Topic 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

28

Table of Contents

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

ASC Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact business at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy:

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted

31

Table of Contents

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Securities available-for-sale - The fair value of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, municipal securities, other debt securities and mortgage-backed securities, is estimated using a third party pricing service. The third party provider evaluates securities based on comparable investments with trades and market data and will utilize pricing models that use a variety of inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers as needed. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Derivative financial instruments - The fair value for derivative financial instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters. The derivative financial instruments are generally classified Level 2.

ImpairedCollateral dependent loans: Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-10-35, Receivables, are loans for which, based on current information and events, itA collateral dependent loan is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An impaired loan can be measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral securing these loans, less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value of impaired loans was measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Impairedcosts. Collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable. The Company determines the value of the collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised values are discounted for costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. ImpairedColleterial dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors discussed above.

Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loans to other real estate. Subsequently, other real estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and

Limitations:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 11.Derivatives Financial Instruments

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges:

Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative net investment hedge instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. 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 tax-exempt 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. The Company has elected early adoption ofadopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which allows such partial term hedge designations.

Non-hedged derivatives:

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a loan hedging program to certain loan customers. Through this program, the Company originates a variable rate loan with the customer. The Company and the customer will then enter into a fixed interest rate swap. Lastly, an identical offsetting swap is entered into by the Company with a dealer bank. These “back-to-back” swap arrangements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to book a variable rate loan, while providing the customer with a contract for fixed interest payments. In these arrangements, the Company’s net cash flow is equal to the interest income received from the variable rate loan originated with the customer. These customer swaps are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities. Since the income statement impact of the offsetting positions is limited, any changes in fair value is recognized as other noninterest income in the current period.

At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, interest rate swaps related to the Company’s loan hedging program that were outstanding are presented in the following table (in thousands):

Note 12. 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 follows the Company adoptedguidance of ASU No. 2016-02 and all subsequent ASUs that modified this topic (collectively referred to as "Topic 842"). For

Substantially all of the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreementsleases in which the Company is the lessee.lessee are comprised of real estate for branches and office space with terms extending through 2034. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate for branches and office space with terms extending through 2034. All of our leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

The following table represents the consolidated balance sheet classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

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 to present value 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. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 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. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019, was used.

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term was 11.049.77 years and the weighted average discount rate was 2.69%2.10%.

The following table represents lease costs 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 common area maintenance (in thousands).

Note 13. Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Capital Requirements:

The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective January 1, 2015. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executives, under the new rules a covered banking organization is also required to maintain a “capital conservation buffer” in addition to its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer is required to consist solely of common equity Tier 1, and the buffer applies to all three risk-based measurements (CET1, Tier 1 capital and total capital).  As of January 1, 2019, an additional amount of Tier 1 common equity equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets is required for compliance with the capital conservation buffer. The ratios for the Company and the Bank are currently sufficient to satisfy the fully phased-in conservation buffer. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements and exceeded the threshold for the "well capitalized" regulatory classification.

Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends:

Pursuant to Tennessee banking law, the Bank may not, without the prior consent of the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (the “TDFI”), pay any dividends to the Company in a calendar year in excess of the total of the Bank’s retained net income for that year plus the retained net income for the preceding two years.  Because this test involves a measure of net income, any charge on the Bank’s income statement, such as an impairment of goodwill, could impair the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under Tennessee corporate law, the Company is not permitted to pay dividends if, after giving effect to such payment, it would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus any amounts needed to satisfy any preferential rights if it were dissolving. In addition, in deciding whether or not to declare a dividend of any particular size, the Company’s board of directors must consider its and the Bank’s current and prospective capital, liquidity, and other needs. In addition to state law limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, the Federal Reserve imposes limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends. Federal Reserve regulations limit dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers if the Company’s regulatory capital is below the level of regulatory minimums plus the applicable capital conservation buffer.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Bank paid $5.0 million in dividendsdid not pay a dividend to the Company and the Company paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.06 per share.   During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Bank paid $10.0 million in dividends to the Company. Since the first quarter of 2021, the Company has paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.06$0.07 per share.  The amount and timing of all future dividend payments by the Company, if any, is subject to discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, capital position, financial condition and other factors, including new regulatory capital requirements, as they become known to the Company.

We assess the adequacy of the allowance at the end of each calendar quarter. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon our evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio, past loan and lease loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the views of the Bank’s regulators, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan and lease portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan and lease quality indications and other pertinent factors.

Deposits

Deposits are the primary source of funds for the Company’s lending and investing activities. The Company provides a range of deposit services to businesses and individuals, including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, IRAs and CDs. These accounts generally earn interest at rates the Company establishes based on market factors and the anticipated amount and timing of funding needs. The establishment or continuity of a core deposit relationship can be a factor in loan pricing decisions. While the Company’s primary focus is on establishing customer relationships to attract core deposits, at times, the Company uses brokered deposits and other wholesale deposits to supplement its funding sources. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, brokered deposits represented approximately 1.7%1.2% of total deposits.

The Company believes its deposit product offerings are properly structured to attract and retain core low-cost deposit relationships. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, was 0.39% compared to 0.71% for the same period in 20200.27% and 0.41% and 0.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020,0.44%, respectively. The decreaseddecrease cost of interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to changes in rates causedmaturing and repricing of time deposits, which decreased by federal rate-changes during the periods.46 basis points.  

Total deposits as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022, were $3.14$4.19 billion, which was an increase of $334.3$169.4 million from December 31, 2020.2021. This increase was primarily from organic deposit growth. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding time deposits under $250,000 with balances of $364.6$396.0 million and time deposits over $250,000 with balances of $124.9$153.1 million.

Borrowings

The Company uses short-term borrowings and long-term debt to provide both funding and, to a lesser extent, regulatory capital using debt at the Company level which can be downstreamed as Tier 1 capital to the Bank. Borrowings totaled $78.8$36.7 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and consisted entirely of $75.0$25.0 million in FHLB borrowingsborrowing and short-term borrowings

Long-term debt totaled $39.4$42.0 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and $39.3$41.9 million at December 31, 2020,2021, and consisted entirely of subordinated debt.  For more information regarding our borrowings, see "Part I - Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7 – Borrowings, and Line of Credit and Subordinated Debt."

Capital Resources

The Company uses leverage analysis to examine the potential of the institution to increase assets and liabilities using the current capital base. The key measurements included in this analysis are the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, leverage and total capital ratios. At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our capital ratios, including our Bank’s capital ratios, exceeded regulatory minimum capital requirements. From time to time we may be required to support the capital needs of our bank subsidiary. We believe we have various capital raising techniques available to us to provide for the capital needs of our bank, if necessary. For more information regarding our capital, leverage and total capital ratios, see “Part I - Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 13 - Regulatory Matters.”

Liquidity and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing and depository needs of its customers. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $640.3$723.4 million of pre-approved but unused lines of credit and $7.5$18.0 million of standby letters of credit. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon. The total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale, or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions.  For more information regarding our off balanceoff-balance sheet arrangements, see “Part I - Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 9 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”

Market Risk and Liquidity Risk Management

The Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible, oversees market risk management and establishes risk measures, limits on policy guidelines for making decisions regarding liquidity and funding solutions based upon approved liquidity, loan and lease, capital and investment policies. The ALCO must considermanaging the amount of interest rate sensitivityrisk and liquidityits effect on net interest income and capital. A variety of measures are used to provide for a comprehensive overview of the Company’s magnitude of interest rate risk, management when rendering a decision on funding solutionsthe distribution of risk, the level of risk over time and loan and lease pricing. To assistthe exposure to changes in this process the Bank has contracted withcertain interest rate relationships.  We utilize an independent third party earnings simulation model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. The model quantifies the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income and net income over the next 12-24 months. The model measures the impact on net interest income relative to prepare quarterly reports that summarize several key asset-liability measurements.a flat-rate case scenario of hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates over the next 12-24 months. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet growth and mix, pricing and the repricing and maturity characteristics of the existing and projected balance sheet. The impact of interest rate, caps and floors, is also included in the model. Other interest rate-related risks such as prepayment, basis and option risk are also considered. In addition, third parties will join the third party will alsomeetings of ALCO to provide recommendations to the Bank’s ALCOfeedback regarding future balance sheet structure, earnings and liquidity strategies.  Two critical areasALCO continuously monitors and manages the balance between interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The objective is to manage the impact of focus for ALCO arefluctuating market rates on net interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.income within acceptable levels. In order to meet this objective, management may lengthen or shorten the duration of assets or liabilities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates the interest rate risk so that we can meet customer demands for various types of loans and leases and deposits. ALCO determines the most appropriate amounts of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. The primary measurements we use to help us manage interest rate sensitivity are an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity model. These measurements are used in conjunction with competitive pricing analysis and are further described below.

Earnings Simulation Model We believe interest rate risk is effectively measured by our earnings simulation modeling. Earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with simulated forecasts of interest rates for the next 12 months and 24 months. To limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for our earnings at risk which seek to limit the variance of net interest income in instantaneous changes to interest rates. We also periodically monitor simulations based on various rate scenarios such as non-parallel shifts in market interest rates over

Economic Value of Equity Our economic value of equity model measures the extent that estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are determined by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case economic value of equity.

To help monitor our related risk, we’ve established the following policy limits regarding simulated changes in our economic value of equity:

Liquidity Risk Management

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan and lease demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions.

Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates and intend to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position.

Scheduled loan and lease payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan and lease payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Additionally, debt security investments are subject to prepayment and call provisions that could accelerate their payoff prior to stated maturity. We attempt to price our deposit products to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market

conditions. Our ALCO is responsible for monitoring our ongoing liquidity needs. Our regulators also monitor our liquidity and capital resources on a periodic basis.

The Company has $5.0 million$942 thousand in investments that mature throughout the next 12 months. The Company also anticipates $9.5$34.4 million of principal payments from mortgage-backed securities over the same period. The Company also has unused borrowing capacity in the amount of $240.3$417.6 million available with the Federal Reserve, FHLB, several correspondent banks and a line of credit. With these sources of funds, the Company currently anticipates adequate liquidity to meet the expected obligations of its customers.
