COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 24 full-service offices and two loan production offices.
The Bank engages in a general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals, small businesses and larger commercial companies, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate and mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and cash management services.
Financial Statements
The consolidated statements presented include accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to the general practices within the banking industry. The interim financial statements have not been audited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, were made that are necessary to present fairly the balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2019, the statements of income and comprehensive income and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Results for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.
In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentations. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Note 2. Securities
Amortized costs and fair values of securities available for sale and held to maturity at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

In estimating other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and short-term prospects for the issuer, and the intent and ability of management to hold its investment for a period of time to allow a recovery in fair value. There were no investments held that had OTTI losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The unrealized losses (impairments) in the investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are generally a result of market fluctuations of interest rates that occur daily. Interest rates increased consistently across the United States Treasury security yield curve during 2018, thereby increasing unrealized losses on securities. Likewise, these interest rates consistently decreased during the first half of 2019, thereby decreasing unrealized losses on the Company’s securities. The unrealized losses are from 58 securities at June 30, 2019. Of those, 49 are investment grade, have U.S. government agency guarantees, or are backed by the full faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United States. Seven investment grade asset-backed securities comprised of student loan pools included in corporate obligations and two corporate bonds make up the remaining securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2019. The Company considers the reason for impairment, length of impairment, and ability and intent to hold until the full value is recovered in determining if the impairment is temporary in nature. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined these impairments to be temporary in nature. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell, these securities until they recover in value or reach maturity.
Market prices are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Investment decisions are made by the management group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. Management analyzes the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.
Securities with amortized costs of $50.4 million and $56.0 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits as required or permitted by law. Securities with amortized costs of $7.0 million at each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were pledged to secure lines of credit at the Federal Reserve discount window. At each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no securities purchased from a single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury issue and other U.S. Government agencies that comprised more than 10% of the consolidated shareholders’ equity.

The Company held $16.4 and $17.4 million in balances of loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which are included in various categories in the table above, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As these loans are 100% guaranteed by the USDA, no loan loss allowance is required. These loan balances included a purchase premium of $1.2 million at each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The purchase premium is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan yield on a straight line basis, which is substantially equivalent to the results obtained using the effective interest method.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was comprised of the following: (i) a specific valuation component calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310, Receivables, (ii) a general valuation component calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, based on historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors, and (iii) an unallocated component to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. Management identified loans subject to impairment in accordance with ASC 310.

Troubled debt restructures still accruing interest are loans that management expects to ultimately collect all principal and interest due, but not under the terms of the original contract. A reconciliation of impaired loans to nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
Nonaccruals | | $ | 11,045 | | $ | 9,500 |
Troubled debt restructure and still accruing | | | 4,713 | | | 8,359 |
Total impaired | | $ | 15,758 | | $ | 17,859 |
Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. There was an insignificant amount of cash basis income recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, estimated interest income of $196,000 and $183,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms. For the
six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, estimated interest income of $410,000 and $322,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms.
There were no loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest at each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The following tables present an age analysis of past due status of loans by category as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Loans are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:
Pass - A pass loan is not adversely classified, as it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification. This category includes purchased loans that are 100% guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies of $16.4 million and $17.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Special Mention - A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.
Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. The possibility of loss is extremely high.
The following tables present the composition of loans by credit quality indicator at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011‑02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Company assesses all loan modifications to determine whether they are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under the guidance. The Company had 25 and 23 loans that met the definition of a TDR at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company had no loan modifications considered to be TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company modified one multifamily loan that was considered to be a TDR. The Company restructured the terms for this loan, which had a pre- and post-modification balance of $2.6 million.
A loan is considered to be in default if it is 90 days or more past due. There were no TDRs that had been restructured during the previous 12 months that resulted in default during the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, one loan that had been restructured during the previous 12 months went into default. This multifamily real estate loan had a recorded investment of $2.6 million. There were no TDRs that had been restructured during the previous 12 months that resulted in default during either the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers TDRs and subsequent defaults in these restructures by reviewing for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310‑10‑35, Receivables, Subsequent Measurement.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had 1‑4 family mortgages in the amount of $112.2 million pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank for a total borrowing capacity of $92.1 million.

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to assume all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire substantially all assets of Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB). The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310‑30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction (the “PCI loans”). Of the total $198.3 million in loans acquired, $49.1 million met the criteria of FASB ASC 310‑30. These loans, consisting mainly of construction loans, were deemed impaired at the acquisition date. The remaining $149.1 million of loans acquired, comprised mainly of residential 1‑4 family, were analogized to meet the criteria of FASB ASC 310‑30. Analysis of this portfolio revealed that SFSB utilized weak underwriting and documentation standards, which led the Company to believe that significant losses were probable given the economic environment at the time.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding contractual balance of the PCI loans was $58.4 million and $62.2 million, respectively. The carrying amount, by loan type, as of these dates is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 8. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. The Company groups assets and liabilities 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. These levels are:
| · | | Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| · | | Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| · | | Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any material FASB ASC 825 elections as of June 30, 2019.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale and the cash flow hedge are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The tables below present the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

Investment securities available for sale
Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available (Level 1). If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions (Level 2).
The Company utilizes a third party vendor to provide fair value data for purposes of determining the fair value of its available for sale securities portfolio. The third party vendor uses reputable pricing companies for security market data. The third party vendor has controls in place for month-to-month market checks and zero pricing, and a Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 report is obtained from the third party vendor on an annual basis. The Company makes no adjustments to the pricing service data received for its securities available for sale.
Cash flow hedge
The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company is also required to measure and recognize certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheet. The following tables present assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Impaired loans
Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, a majority of total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. The Company frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional appraisers for classified loans greater than $250,000 when the most recent appraisal is greater than 18 months old and deemed to be stale or invalid. The Company may also utilize internally prepared estimates that generally result from current market data and actual sales data related to the Company’s collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value without further adjustment for unobservable inputs, the Company records the impaired loan within Level 2.
The Company may also identify collateral deterioration based on current market sales data, including price and absorption, as well as input from real estate sales professionals and developers, county or city tax assessments, market data and on-site inspections by Company personnel. When management determines that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, due to such things as absorption rates and market conditions, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. In instances where an appraisal received subsequent to an internally prepared estimate reflects a higher collateral value, management does not revise the carrying amount. Impaired loans can also be evaluated for impairment using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The measurement of impaired loans using future cash flows
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest is not a fair value measurement and is therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Reviews of classified loans are performed by management on a quarterly basis.
Loans held for sale
The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate fair value (Level 2).
Bank premises and equipment held for sale
The fair value of bank premises and equipment held for sale was determined using the adjusted appraisal methodology described in the other real estate owned (OREO) asset section below.
Other real estate owned
OREO assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated disposal costs upon transfer of the related loans to OREO, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to the transfer, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated disposal costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value due to such things as absorption rates and market conditions, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Additionally, in accordance with FASB ASU 2016-01, the Company uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following reflects the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, at fair value measures by level of valuation assumptions used for those assets. These tables exclude financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates fair value (dollars in thousands):

Note 9. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding attributable to stock instruments. The following table presents basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company adopted the Bank of Essex noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan for all full-time pre-merger Bank of Essex employees over 21 years of age. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and the employees’ compensation. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The Company froze the plan benefits for all the defined benefit plan participants effective December 31, 2010.
The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit cost for the plan included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Note 11. Cash Flow Hedge
The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate borrowings, such as FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, and brokered CDs. The Company had cash flow hedges with total notional amounts of $40 million and $30 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The swaps were entered into with a counterparty that met the Company’s credit standards, and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contracts are not significant. The Company had no collateral pledged at each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has designated the swaps as cash flow hedges, with the effective portions of the derivatives’ unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portions of the unrealized gains or losses, if any, would be recorded in other operating expense. The Company has assessed the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows on the designated hedged item. The Company’s cash flow hedge was deemed to be effective for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company recorded a fair value asset of $59,000 and a fair value liability of $45,000 in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The Company recorded a fair value asset of $253,000 in other assets at December 31, 2018. The net gain (loss) was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) net of associated tax effects.
Note 12. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes income in accordance with FASB ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of this guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and brokerage fees and commissions. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Service charges on deposit accounts
The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.
Interchange and ATM fees
The Company earns interchange and ATM fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa and ATM payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Because the Company acts as an agent and does not control the services rendered to the customers, related costs are netted against the fee income. These costs were included in other operating expenses prior to the adoption of Topic 606.
Brokerage fees and commissions
Brokerage fees and commissions consist of other recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments to customers by a third-party service provider and investment advisor fees. The Company receives commissions from the third-party service provider on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month. The investment advisor fees are charged to the customer’s account in advance on the first month of the quarter, and the revenue is recognized over the following three-month period.
The following table presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Note 13. Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as it relates to its non-cancellable operating leases and subleases of bank premises. The guidance was implemented using the modified retrospective transition approach at the date of adoption with no cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings and no material impact on the measurement of operating lease costs. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies, resulting in a balance sheet presentation that is not comparable to the prior period in the first year of adoption. The Company elected the practical expedient package, which allowed it to not reassess (1) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the lease classification of expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term for existing leases, thereby including renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised in the lease term. The adoption of this ASU resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets of $7.4 million and lease liabilities of $7.6 million at January 1, 2019.
The Company's leases have lease terms between five years and 20 years, with the longest lease term having an expiration date in 2038. Most of these leases include one or more renewal options for five years or less. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the determination of the lease term, and related payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease payments when the interest rate implicit in a lease is not disclosed. None of the Company’s current leases contain variable lease payment terms. The Company accounts for associated non-lease components separately.
The following table presents operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):
| | | |
| | Operating Leases |
| | | |
Gross lease liability | | $ | 9,887 |
Less: imputed interest | | | (2,695) |
Present value of lease liability | | $ | 7,192 |
The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases at June 30, 2019 was 12.0 years and 4.56%, respectively. Maturities of the gross operating lease liability at June 30, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | |
2019 | | $ | 609 |
2020 | | | 1,231 |
2021 | | | 1,191 |
2022 | | | 600 |
2023 | | | 630 |
Thereafter | | | 5,626 |
Total of future payments | | $ | 9,887 |
Operating lease costs and sublease rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $445,000 and $39,000, respectively. Rental expense and sublease rental income under operating lease agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $363,000 and $27,000, respectively. Operating lease costs and sublease rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $823,000 and $66,000, respectively. Rental expense and sublease rental income under operating lease agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $704,000 and $54,000, respectively. Included in operating lease costs was $103,000 and $138,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to the early termination of an unprofitable branch on June 30, 2019.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at June 30, 2019 and results of operations of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
OVERVIEW
Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 24 full-service offices and two loan production offices.
The Bank engages in a general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals, small businesses and larger commercial companies, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate and mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and cash management services.
The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of funds is a function of the average amount of interest bearing deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The mix and product type for both loans and deposits can have a significant effect on the net interest income of the Bank. For the past several years, the Bank’s focus has been on maximizing that mix through branch growth and targeted product types, with lenders and other employees directly involved with customer relationships. Additionally, the quality of the interest earning assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on nonaccrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses.
The Bank also earns noninterest income from service charges on deposit accounts and other fee or commission-based services and products, such as insurance, mortgage loans, annuities, and other wealth management products. Other sources of noninterest income can include gains or losses on securities transactions and income from bank owned life insurance (BOLI) policies. The Company’s income is offset by noninterest expense, which consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing expenses, professional fees, transactions involving bank-owned property, and other operational expenses. The provision for loan losses and income taxes may materially affect net income.
CAUTION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company makes certain forward-looking statements in this report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, future strategy, and financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import.
These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon or are affected by factors, including, without limitation, the effects of and changes in the following:
| · | | the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios, including collateral values and the repayment abilities of borrowers and issuers; |
| · | | assumptions that underlie the Company’s allowance for loan losses; |
| · | | general economic and market conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas; |
| · | | the interest rate environment; |
| · | | competitive pressures among banks and financial institutions or from companies outside the banking industry; |
| · | | the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; |
| · | | the demand, development and acceptance of new products and services; |
| · | | the performance of vendors or other parties with which the Company does business; |
| · | | time and costs associated with de novo branching, acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions; |
| · | | the realization of gains and expense savings from acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions; |
| · | | assumptions and estimates that underlie the accounting for purchased credit impaired loans; |
| · | | consumer profiles and spending and savings habits; |
| · | | levels of fraud in the banking industry; |
| · | | the level of attempted cyber attacks in the banking industry; |
| · | | the securities and credit markets; |
| · | | costs associated with the integration of banking and other internal operations; |
| · | | the soundness of other financial institutions with which the Company does business; |
| · | | legislative and regulatory requirements. |
These factors and additional risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other reports filed from time to time by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, the Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the
historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.
The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.
Allowance for Loan Losses on Loans
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance is an amount that management believes is appropriate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. The evaluation also considers the following risk characteristics of each loan portfolio:
| · | | Residential 1‑4 family mortgage loans include HELOCs and single family investment properties secured by first liens. The carry risks associated with owner-occupied and investment properties are the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of the collateral, successful property maintenance and collection of rents due from tenants. The Company manages these risks by using specific underwriting policies and procedures and by avoiding concentrations in geographic regions. |
| · | | Commercial real estate loans, including owner occupied and non-owner occupied mortgages, carry risks associated with the successful operations of the principal business operated on the property securing the loan or the successful operation of the real estate project securing the loan. General market conditions and economic activity may impact the performance of these loans. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans, the Company manages risk by avoiding concentrations to any one business or industry, and by diversifying the lending to various lines of businesses, such as retail, office, office warehouse, industrial and hotel. |
| · | | Construction and land development loans are generally made to commercial and residential builders/developers for specific construction projects, as well as to consumer borrowers. These carry more risk than real estate term loans due to the dynamics of construction projects, changes in interest rates, the long-term financing market and state and local government regulations. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans and by avoiding concentrations to any one business or industry and by diversifying lending to various lines of businesses, in various geographic regions and in various sales or rental price points. |
| · | | Second mortgages on residential 1‑4 family loans carry risk associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in value of the collateral and a higher risk of loss in the event the collateral is liquidated due to the inferior lien position. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures. |
| · | | Multifamily loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the property, general real estate market conditions and economic activity. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures, the Company manages risk by avoiding concentrations to geographic regions and by diversifying the lending to various unit mixes, tenant profiles and rental rates. |
| · | | Agriculture loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the business, changes in value of non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time and inventory that may be affected by weather, biological, price, labor, regulatory and economic factors. The Company manages risks by using specific underwriting policies and procedures, as well as avoiding concentrations to individual borrowers and by diversifying lending to various agricultural lines of business (i.e., crops, cattle, dairy, etc.). |
| · | | Commercial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of the business, changes in value of non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time, accounts receivable whose collectability may change and inventory values that may be subject to various risks including obsolescence. General market conditions and economic activity may also impact the performance of these loans. In addition to using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans, the Company manages risk by diversifying the lending to various industries and avoids geographic concentrations. |
| · | | Consumer installment loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the value of rapidly depreciating assets or lack thereof. These types of loans are more likely than real estate loans to be quickly and adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans. |
| · | | All other loans generally support the obligations of state and political subdivisions in the U.S. and are not a material source of business for the Company. The loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the obligations and economic activity. The Company manages risk by using specific underwriting policies and procedures for these types of loans. |
While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. For loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The unallocated component covers uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment as a pool. Accordingly, the Company does not separately analyze these individual loans for impairment disclosures.
Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310, Receivables, requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for acquired impaired loans. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to borrowers in good standing
under revolving credit arrangements are excluded from the scope of FASB ASC 310, which limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases in cash flows to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through the allowance for loan losses.
The Company’s acquired loans from the Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB) transaction (the “PCI loans”), subject to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, were recorded at fair value and no separate valuation allowance was recorded at the date of acquisition. FASB ASC 310‑30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, applies to loans acquired in a transfer with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310‑30 to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction. The Company has grouped loans together based on common risk characteristics including product type, delinquency status and loan documentation requirements among others.
The PCI loans are subject to the credit review standards described above for loans. If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the date that the loans were acquired, a provision for loan loss for PCI loans will be charged to earnings for the full amount.
The Company has made an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to collect from each pool of loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. The excess of that amount over the fair value of the pool is referred to as accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized as interest income on a constant yield basis over the life of the pool. The Company also determines each pool’s contractual principal and contractual interest payments. The excess of that amount over the total cash flows that it expects to collect from the pool is referred to as nonaccretable difference, which is not recorded. Judgmental prepayment assumptions are applied to both contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as an impairment in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected or actual cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the accretable yield with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the pool.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Net income of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 was a decrease of $238,000, or 6.3%, compared with second quarter 2018 net income of $3.8 million. Interest and dividend income increased by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, driven by interest and fees on loans, which increased $1.3 million. Noninterest income increased by $316,000 year-over-year. Offsetting these increases was an increase of $125,000 in provision for loan losses and $804,000 in noninterest expenses, of which $254,000 was in salaries and employee benefits, $246,000 in other operating expenses and $150,000 in occupancy expenses. One-time expenses of $254,000 related to a branch closure and pension expense were recorded in the second quarter of 2019.
Net income increased $671,000 and was $7.0 million for the first six months of 2019 compared with $6.4 million for the same period in 2018. This is an increase of 10.5%. Increases were in interest and dividend income, which increased by $3.1 million, or 10.9%, and noninterest income, which increased by $297,000, or 13.7%. Offsetting these increases to net income were increases of $2.1 million in interest expense, $125,000 in provision for loan losses, $278,000 in noninterest expense and $234,000 in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, and interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”
Net interest income increased $353,000, or 3.0%, from the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2019. Net interest income was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $11.6 million for the same period in 2018. Interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million, or 9.6%, over this time period. The increase in interest income was generated by an increase of $49.8 million, or 3.9%, in the level of average earning assets coupled with an increase in the yield on earning assets. The yield on earning assets increased from 4.64% in the second quarter of 2018 to 4.88% in the second quarter of 2019. The average balance of loans, excluding PCI loans, increased $52.5 million, or 5.5%, from $959.0 million in the second quarter of 2018 to $1.011 billion in the second quarter of 2019. Interest income on securities was $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, which was an increase of $80,000 over the second quarter of 2018. On a tax-equivalent basis, the yield on investment securities increased 12 basis points and was 3.23% in the second quarter of 2019 and 3.11% in the second quarter of 2018.
Interest on PCI loans was $1.3 million in each of the second quarters of 2019 and 2018. The average balance of the PCI portfolio declined $4.9 million during the year-over-year comparison period.
Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 36.4%, when comparing the second quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2018. Interest expense on deposits increased $1.2 million, or 52.4%, as the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $63.8 million, or 6.7%. The increase in deposit cost was driven by an increase in time deposit average balances, which increased $86.1 million, or 15.3%, year-over-year. Likewise, the cost of these balances increased $1.2 million, from 1.41% to 1.98%, over the same time frame. The average balance of FHLB and other borrowings decreased $44.3 million year-over-year, and there was an increase in the rate paid, from 1.87% in the second quarter of 2018 to 2.08% in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in balance more than offset the increase in rate and resulted in a decrease in the expense of this wholesale funding source of $172,000, to $310,000 in the second quarter of 2019. The average balance of FHLB and other borrowings was $58.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. Overall, the Bank’s cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 37 basis points, from 1.08% in the second quarter of 2018 to 1.45% in the second quarter of 2019.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased four basis points, from 3.73% in the second quarter of 2018 to 3.69% in the second quarter of 2019. Likewise, the interest spread decreased from 3.56% to 3.43% over the same time period. The decrease in the margin was precipitated by the increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities without a corresponding increase in the yield on earning assets.
For the first half of 2019, net interest income was $24.1 million, or an increase of $1.0 million, or 4.4%, when compared to the first six months of 2018. The yield on earning assets was 4.92% for the first six months of 2019 compared with 4.62% for the first six months of 2018. Interest and fees on loans of $25.1 million in the first half of 2019 was an increase of $2.8 million compared with $22.2 million for the same period in 2018. Interest and fees on PCI loans declined $128,000 over this same time frame. Securities income increased $313,000 for the first six months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. On a tax-equivalent basis, income on securities increased $253,000. The tax-equivalent yield on the portfolio increased and was 3.29% for the first half of 2019 compared with 3.04% for the same period in 2018.
Interest expense of $7.6 million represented an increase of $2.1 million in the first six months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $21.8 million, or 2.1%. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased from 1.04% for the first six months of 2018 to 1.41% for the first six months of 2019. Driving the increase was growth of $78.8 million, or 14.2%, in the average balance of time deposits, from $556.5 million for the first half of 2018 to $635.4 million for the same period in 2019. This growth in time deposits, as a result of higher rates, came partly from a shift away from savings and money market accounts, which experienced a decline of $19.6 million in average balances between the comparison periods.
The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.75% for each of the first six months of 2018 and 2019. While the yield on earning assets increased by 30 basis points over this time frame, the competition for funding pushed the cost of interest bearing liabilities up 37 basis points, from 1.04% to 1.41%. The net interest spread declined by seven basis points, from 3.58% for the first six months of 2018 to 3.51% for the first six months of 2019. The margin remained stable as a result of growth of $16.4 million, or 13.1%, in the average balance in shareholders’ equity and growth of $15.2 million, or 10.1%, in the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits.
The following tables set forth, for each category of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The tables also set forth the average rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest earning assets for the same periods. Except as indicated in the footnotes, no tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average balances. Any nonaccruing loans have been included in the tables, as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Loan Losses
Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and provides specific loss provisions when necessary. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the Company based on such factors as historical credit loss experience, industry diversification of the commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume growth and composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through the internal loan review function and other relevant factors. See Allowance for Loan Losses on Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.
Loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the provision for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.
Management also actively monitors its PCI loan portfolio for impairment and necessary loan loss provisions. Provisions for these loans may be necessary due to a change in expected cash flows or an increase in expected losses within a pool of loans.
The Company records a separate provision for loan losses for its loan portfolio, excluding PCI loans, and the PCI loan portfolio. There was a provision for loan losses of $125,000 on the loan portfolio, excluding PCI loans, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 compared with no provision for loan losses for the same periods of 2018. The provision recognized during the second quarter of 2019 was due to loan growth of $26.3 million, or 2.6%, during the quarter and an uptick in delinquencies less than 90 days past due and still accruing interest. There was no provision for loan losses on the PCI loan portfolio for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. Additional discussion of loan quality is presented below.
The loan portfolio, excluding PCI loans, had net recoveries of $33,000 in the second quarter of 2019, compared with net recoveries of $121,000 in the first quarter of 2018. Total charge-offs were $102,000 for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $120,000 in the second quarter of 2018. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans were $135,000 for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $241,000 in the second quarter of 2018.
For the second half of 2018, the loan portfolio, excluding PCI loans, had net charge-offs of $289,000 compared with net recoveries of $120,000 in the same time period of 2018. Total charge-offs were $680,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $204,000 in the same period of 2018. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans were $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with $324,000 in the same period of 2018.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $316,000, or 27.8%, and was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. Securities gains increased $254,000 year-over-year and were $238,000 in the second quarter of 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts were $707,000 in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $96,000 year-over-year. Mortgage loan income of $100,000 in the second quarter of 2019 was an increase of $20,000 over the same period in 2018.
Noninterest income was $2.5 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $297,000, or 13.7%, compared with $2.2 million for the first six months of 2018. Gain on securities transactions increased $210,000 and was $224,000 for the first six months of 2019 compared with $14,000 for the same period in 2018. Service charges and fees were $1.3 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $124,000 compared with the same period in 2018. Other noninterest income was $398,000 for the first half of 2019, an increase of $47,000 versus the first half of 2018. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of $29,000 in mortgage loan income, which was $162,000 for the first six months of 2019.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses were $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $804,000, or 9.8%, compared with the same period in 2018. Salaries and employee benefits of $5.3 million increased $254,000, or 5.1% year-over-year. Related to this increase were $45,000 in severance costs associated with the closing of an underperforming branch and $44,000 in one-time pension costs due to the retirement of a long-term employee. Other operating expenses of $1.6 million increased $246,000 year-over-year. Credit expense increased by $138,000, from $101,000 in the second quarter of 2018 to $239,000 in the second quarter of 2019. Of this increase in credit expense, $68,000 was related to an increase related to volume and timing of reimbursement of appraisal and inspection fees. Loan collection and repossession costs increased year-over-year by $57,000, of which $50,000 was related to one loan in the process of collection. Additionally, stationery, printing and supplies increased $66,000 related to increased customer volumes, new branches, and costs associated with notification activity from the closing of two branches. Bank franchise tax increased $41,000 year-over-year. Occupancy expenses of $919,000 showed an increase of $150,000 over the same period in 2018, $103,000 of which related to the branch closing previously mentioned. Other real estate expenses of $105,000 in the second quarter of 2019 were $60,000 greater than the same period in 2018, $62,000 of which also related to the branch closing. Data processing fees of $579,000 in the second quarter of 2019 were $80,000 greater than one year earlier as a result of an increase in the number of accounts processed and increased investment in electronic banking. FDIC assessment of $162,000 in the second quarter of 2019 decreased $36,000 from one year earlier.
Noninterest expenses were $17.8 million for the first six months of 2019, as compared with $17.6 million for the same period in 2018. This is an increase of $278,000, or 1.6%. Occupancy expenses increased $268,000, or 17.0%, $103,000
of which related to the branch closing mentioned above. Data processing fees increased $162,000, or 16.4%, and were $1.1 million for the first six months of 2019, reflecting the increased number of accounts and investment in electronic banking mentioned above. Equipment expenses increased by $117,000 and were $775,000 for the first six months of 2019. Offsetting these increases, salaries and employee benefits decreased $214,000 for the first six months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Although salaries and employee benefits increased $89,000 in 2019 due to the severance and pension costs noted above, health insurance expense decreased $224,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2018. Also impacting noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2018 compared with the same period in 2017 was a decrease in FDIC assessment of $92,000 due to a decrease in the assessment factor calculated by the FDIC.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $791,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with income tax expense of $813,000 for the second quarter of 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense was $1.6 million compared with $1.4 million for the first six months of 2018. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 18.2% versus 17.7% in the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, the effective tax rate was 18.4%, and for the same period in 2018 it was 17.5%. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily from lower tax-exempt income from municipalities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General
Total assets increased $38.0 million, or 2.7%, during the first six months of 2019 to $1.431 billion at June 30, 2019. Total loans, excluding PCI loans, were $1.024 billion at June 30, 2019, increasing $30.5 million, or 3.1%, from year end 2018. Total PCI loans were $35.9 million at June 30, 2019 versus $38.3 million at year end 2018.
During the first six months of 2019, loans grew by $30.5 million, or 3.1%. Construction and land development loans grew by $16.5 million, or 13.7%, commercial mortgage loans grew by $8.8 million, or 2.3%, and residential 1 – 4 family mortgages grew by $3.4 million.
The Company’s securities portfolio, excluding restricted equity securities, increased $3.4 million since year end 2018 to total $252.3 million at June 30, 2019. Net gains of $224,000 were realized during the first half of 2019 through sales and call activity. The Company actively manages the portfolio to improve its liquidity and maximize the return within the desired risk profile.
The Company is required to account for the effect of changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale (AFS) under FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. The fair value of the AFS portfolio was $211.9 million at June 30, 2019 and $206.7 million at December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a net unrealized gain on the AFS portfolio of $3.6 million compared with a net unrealized loss of $792,000 at December 31, 2018. Municipal securities comprised 45.9% of the total AFS portfolio at June 30, 2019. These securities exhibit more price volatility in a changing interest rate environment because of their longer weighted average life, as compared to other categories contained within the rest of the portfolio.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $32.8 million and $34.2 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were federal funds sold of $228,000 at June 30, 2019. This compares with federal funds purchased of $19.4 million at December 31, 2018. Interest bearing bank deposits were $14.7 million at June 30, 2019 compared with $15.9 million at December 31, 2018.
Interest bearing deposits at June 30, 2019 were $1.036 billion, an increase of $35.9 million from December 31, 2018. Time deposits less than or equal to $250,000 showed the largest dollar volume growth during 2019 with $23.4 million in net additional balances and to total $508.6 million. Time deposits over $250,000 grew by $9.8 million and were $138.8 million at June 30, 2019. Money market deposit accounts grew by $3.8 million, or 3.0%.
FHLB advances were $48.7 million at June 30, 2019, compared with $59.4 million at December 31, 2018.
Shareholders’ equity was $147.4 million at June 30, 2019 and $137.5 million at December 31, 2018. Shareholders’ equity to assets was 10.3% at June 30, 2019 and 9.9% at December 31, 2018. The Board of Directors recommenced a quarterly dividend to shareholders in 2019, with a $0.03 per common share dividend that totaled $1.332 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Asset Quality – excluding PCI loans
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Loan quality is continually monitored, and the Company’s management has established an allowance for loan losses that it believes is appropriate for the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and appropriateness of collateral and guarantors, nonperforming loans and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses, which cannot be precisely quantified nor attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because those risks include general economic trends, as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to appropriateness, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and size of the allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies. See Allowance for Loan Losses on Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.
The Company maintains a list of loans that have potential weaknesses and thus may need special attention. This loan list is used to monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming assets totaled $12.0 million at June 30, 2019 and net charge-offs were $289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This compares with nonperforming assets of $10.6 million and net recoveries of $14,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Nonperforming loans were $11.0 million at June 30, 2019, a $1.5 million increase from $9.5 million at December 31, 2018. The $1.5 million increase in nonperforming loans since December 31, 2018 was the net result of $4.6 million in additions to nonperforming loans and $3.1 million in reductions. The increase related mainly to two commercial loans totaling $616,000, one multifamily real estate loan of $2.6 million, and one 1-4 family residential mortgage loan of $764,000. With respect to the reductions in nonperforming loans, $200,000 were payments to existing credits, $610,000 were charge-offs, $1.3 million were paid off, and $1.0 million returned to accruing status.
The allowance for loan losses, excluding PCI, equaled 79.9% of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2019 compared with 94.6% at December 31, 2018. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and OREO increased 10 basis points. The ratio was 1.17% at June 30, 2019 versus 1.07% at December 31, 2018.
The allowance for loan losses includes an amount that cannot be related to individual types of loans, and this is referred to as the unallocated component of the allowance. The unallocated component was $3,000 as of June 30, 2019 compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2018. The Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in the estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used. Specifically, at December 31, 2018, in regards to the economic factors, there was significant uncertainty stemming from recent stock market declines and the government shutdown, which ended in early 2019. The stock market suffered major declines in the fourth quarter due to concerns about a slowdown in worldwide growth and an increased probability of recession. These factors influenced the Company’s belief that the unallocated component was appropriate at December 31, 2018. During 2019, delinquencies increased $1.6 million and net charge-offs were $289,000, up from net recoveries of $14,000 at December 31, 2018, both of which, along with the increase in nonperforming loans, contributed to the reduction of the unallocated component at June 30, 2019.
In accordance with GAAP, an individual loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company considers all troubled debt restructures and nonaccrual loans to be impaired loans. In addition, the Company reviews all substandard and doubtful loans that are not on nonaccrual status, as well as loans with other risk characteristics,
pursuant to and specifically for compliance with the accounting definition of impairment as described above. These impaired loans have been determined through analysis, appraisals, or other methods used by management.
See Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements for information related to the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total impaired loans, excluding PCI loans, equaled $15.8 million and $17.9 million, respectively.

Asset Quality – PCI loans
Loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310‑30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans.
The PCI loans are subject to credit review standards for loans. If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the date that they were acquired, a provision for credit loss for PCI loans will be charged to earnings for the full amount. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows that it expects to collect from a pool of PCI loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as impairments in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.
Capital Requirements
The determination of capital adequacy depends upon a number of factors, such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth trends and economic conditions. The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base exceeding regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions to support its growth and expansion plans, provide stability to current operations and promote public confidence in the Company.
Effective September 2018, the Federal Reserve raised the total consolidated asset limit in the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement from $1 billion to $3 billion, thereby eliminating the Company’s consolidated capital reporting requirements. Therefore, the Company only reports capital information at the Bank level.
Under the final rule on Enhanced Regulatory Capital Standards, commonly referred to as Basel III and which became effective January 1, 2015, the federal banking regulators have defined four tests for assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on four definitions of capital. “Common equity tier 1 capital” is defined as common equity, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), less certain intangibles. “Tier 1 capital” is defined as common equity tier 1 capital plus qualifying perpetual preferred stock, tier 1 minority interests, and grandfathered trust preferred securities. “Tier 2 capital” is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, non-tier 1 minority interests and a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses. “Total capital” is defined as tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital. Four risk-based capital ratios are computed using the above capital definitions, total assets and risk-weighted assets, and the ratios are measured against regulatory minimums to ascertain adequacy. All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are grouped into categories according to degree of risk and assigned a risk-weighting and the resulting total is risk-weighted assets. “Common equity tier 1 capital ratio” is common equity tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio” is tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Total risk-based capital ratio” is total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. The “leverage ratio” is tier 1 capital divided by total average assets.
The Bank’s ratio of total risk-based capital was 13.5% at June 30, 2019 compared with 13.3% at December 31, 2018. The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.7% at June 30, 2019 and 12.6% at December 31, 2018. The Bank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.5% at June 30, 2019 and 10.2% at December 31, 2018. All capital ratios exceed regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized. BASEL III introduced the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, which was 12.7% at June 30, 2019 and 12.6% at December 31, 2018.
Under Basel III, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the minimum risk-based capital thresholds was established. Dividend and executive compensation restrictions begin if the Bank does not maintain the full amount of the buffer. At June 30, 2019, the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 5.5%.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and certain investment securities. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.
The Company’s results of operations are significantly affected by its ability to manage effectively the interest rate sensitivity and maturity of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. A summary of the Company’s liquid assets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 | |
Cash and due from banks | | $ | 17,858 | | $ | 18,292 | |
Interest bearing bank deposits | | | 14,696 | | | 15,927 | |
Federal funds sold | | | 228 | | | — | |
Available for sale securities, at fair value, unpledged | | | 183,113 | | | 174,842 | |
Total liquid assets | | $ | 215,895 | | $ | 209,061 | |
| | | | | | | |
Deposits and other liabilities | | $ | 1,283,735 | | $ | 1,255,689 | |
Ratio of liquid assets to deposits and other liabilities | | | 16.82 | % | | 16.65 | % |
The Company maintains unsecured lines of credit of varying amounts with correspondent banks to facilitate short-term liquidity needs. The Company has a total of $55 million in this type of facility in the aggregate at June 30, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
A summary of the contract amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet and balance sheet risk as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
Commitments with off-balance sheet risk: | | | | | | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 222,179 | | $ | 204,831 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 10,390 | | | 5,280 |
Total commitments with off-balance sheet risks | | $ | 232,569 | | $ | 210,111 |
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 Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may be drawn upon only to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate borrowings, such as FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, and brokered CDs. The Company had cash flow hedges with total notional amounts of $40 million and $30 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded a fair value asset of $59,000 and a fair value liability of $45,000 in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The Company recorded a fair value asset of $253,000 in other assets at December 31, 2018. The Company’s cash flow hedges are deemed to be effective. Therefore, the net gain was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of interest rate risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over various periods, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.
The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and results are analyzed at least quarterly. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 400 basis point upward shift and a 400 basis point downward shift in interest rates. The downward shift of 300 or 400 basis points is included in the analysis, although less meaningful in the current rate environment, because all results are monitored regardless of likelihood. A parallel shift in rates over a 12‑month period is assumed.
The following table represents the change to net interest income given interest rate shocks up and down 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points at June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | |
| | June 30, 2019 |
| | % | | $ |
Change in Yield curve | | | | |
+400 bp | | 6.6 | | 3,148 |
+300 bp | | 5.4 | | 2,579 |
+200 bp | | 3.9 | | 1,845 |
+100 bp | | 2.0 | | 981 |
most likely | | — | | — |
‑100 bp | | (2.9) | | (1,368) |
‑200 bp | | (4.7) | | (2,229) |
‑300 bp | | (5.0) | | (2,416) |
‑400 bp | | (5.1) | | (2,423) |
At June 30, 2019, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 400 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could increase by 6.6%. For the same time period, the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 400 basis points, net interest income could decrease by 5.1%.
While these percentages are subjective based upon assumptions used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is appropriately balanced with acceptable risk to changes in interest rates.
The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a 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 such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, 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 internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10‑Q, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Section 13a‑15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under it.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Certifying Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
