Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a unitary thrift holding company that was incorporated in 1989 and the parent company to its wholly owned subsidiary, Sterling Bank and Trust, F.S.B. (the “Bank”). The Company’s business is conducted through the Bank which was formed in 1984. The Bank originates construction, residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial lines of credit, and other consumer loans and provides deposit products, consisting primarily of checking, savings and term certificate accounts. The Bank operates through a network of 29 branches of which 25 branches are located in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California with the remaining branches located in New York, New York, Southfield, Michigan and in the greater Seattle market. The Company is headquartered in Southfield, Michigan and its operations are in the financial services industry. Management evaluates the performance of its business based on one reportable segment, community banking. The Company is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (“Federal Reserve”). The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank which is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system. Basis of Presentation Adjustments to Prior Years' Financial Statements In the second quarter of 2018, the Company corrected the classification of commitment fees, net of direct loan origination costs, earned on construction loans and other lines of credit to commercial customers in its consolidated statements of income to the financial statement caption, interest and fees on loans, within interest income, which were previously reported in service charges and fees, within non-interest income. The Company has made the correction to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). As a result, prior years' financial statements included herein have been adjusted from the amounts previously reported. The amount of the adjustment to decrease service charges and fees, and increase interest and fees on loans was $2,088 and $1,153 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There was no change to the reported net income or income per share, basic and diluted, as previously reported as a result of this immaterial correction. Management has evaluated the materiality of these corrections on its previously filed financial statements from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, and has concluded that these corrections were not material to the prior years as previously reported and the quarterly periods within those years. Merger of Quantum Fund, LLC On April 24, 2017, the Bank acquired all the outstanding equity interests of Quantum Fund, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s principal shareholder who owned, directly and indirectly, 80% of the members’ interests with the remaining 20% members’ interest held by a member of the board of directors of the Company and Bank, for $2.9 million in cash. Such amount has been reflected as a distribution to the members in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity. The entity operated a registered investment advisory business with assets held under management of approximately $425 million at the time of merger. In 2017, the Bank recorded the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts, consisting primarily of a customer-related intangible asset, in the accounts of the entity transferred. Prior to 2017, the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, and the entity under common control on a combined basis, since the entities were under common control. The respective adjustments made to include the results of Quantum Fund, LLC in these consolidated financial statements increased total shareholders’ equity and other assets at December 31, 2016 by approximately $2,000 and decreased net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 by approximately $1,200.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, and an entity under common control that was merged with the Company in April 2017 (Note 1). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in the future periods may be based upon amounts that could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements The Bank utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine its fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not readily available, the Bank uses present value techniques and other valuation methods, as disclosed in Note 14, to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used. Investments securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Bank may be required to record other assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, other real estate owned, nonmarketable equity securities and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments generally involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting. Cash and Due From Banks For the purposes of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes cash and time deposits, and other deposits held with other banks with original maturities of three months or less. Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve at December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $26,791 and $23,113, respectively, was required to be held to meet certain regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. The Company presents the cash flows from customer loans, deposit transactions and short‑term borrowings on a net basis in its consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks Interest-bearing deposits with other banks, consisting of certificates of deposit, have maturities greater than three months and are carried at cost. Each certificate of deposit is below the FDIC insurance limit of $250. Interest income is recorded when earned. Concentration of Credit Risk The loan portfolio consists primarily of residential real estate loans which are collateralized by real estate. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, residential real estate loans accounted for 84% and 82%, respectively, of the loan portfolio. In addition, most of these residential loans and other commercial loans have been made to individuals and businesses in the state of California which are dependent on the area economy for their livelihoods and servicing of their loan obligation. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately 94% and 95%, respectively, of the loan portfolio was originated in California. Investment Securities Investment securities includes debt securities and equity securities. Debt Securities Debt securities are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity. Management determines the classification of the debt securities when they are purchased. Debt securities available for sale are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and shown as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums (noncallable) and accretion of discounts over the contractual life of the investment security using the effective interest method or, in the case of asset‑backed securities, over the estimated life of the investment security using the effective yield method. Interest income includes amortization or accretion of purchase premium or discount. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the settlement date and determined using the specific identification method. Management evaluates debt securities for other‑than‑temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near‑term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether a decline is other‑than‑temporary involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. A charge is recognized against income for all or a portion of the impairment if the loss is determined to be other than temporary. If the Bank intends to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the debt security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the debt security is written down to fair value, and the full amount of any impairment charge is recorded as a loss in the consolidated statements of income. If the Bank does not intend to sell the debt security and it is more likely than not that the Bank will not be required to sell the debt security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, only the current period credit loss of any impairment of a debt security is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, with the remaining impairment recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Equity Securities Beginning January 1, 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with unrealized and realized gains and losses reported in income. Those equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost, less any impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Any changes in the carrying value of the equity investments are recognized in income. Management performs a qualitative assessment each reporting period to identify impairment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. When a qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment exists, Management determines the fair value of the investment and if the fair value is less than the investment's carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment in income. Prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities were classified as available for sale and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. A decline in value of an equity security that was considered other than temporary was recorded in income. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Residential real estate loans originated or purchased and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value on an individual loan basis as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to income in the consolidated statements of income. Residential real estate loans originated as held for investment are periodically sold generally with servicing retained in order to manage liquidity, interest rate or concentration risk. Loans that are transferred into loans held for sale from loans held for investment, due to a change in intent, are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. When loans originally classified as held for sale or as held for investment are reclassified due to a change in intent or ability to hold, cash flows associated with the loans are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating or investing, as appropriate, in accordance with the initial classification of the loans. Residential real estate loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. Upon the sale of an originated loan, the mortgage servicing right asset is established and recorded at its estimated fair value, and a corresponding gain is recognized in gain on sale of mortgage loans held for sale or gain on sale of portfolio loans. Gains and losses on sales of residential real estate loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loans sold. Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income, including unamortized loan fees and costs on originated loans, and allowances for loan losses. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the contractual lives of the respective loans as a yield adjustment using the effective interest method. Other credit-related fees are recognized as fee income, as a component of noninterest income. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned using the interest method over the term of the loan. The accrual of interest income is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant (i.e. nonaccrual loan), unless the loan is secured and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued and unpaid during prior periods is reversed. Any payments on nonaccrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan principal amounts and then to the recovery of the charged off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of interest and fees. Loans are returned to accrual status after all principal and interest amounts contractually due are made and future payments are reasonably assured. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings, as defined below, and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining if a loan is impaired 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 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. Construction loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial lines of credit are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral or operations of collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as other consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled Debt Restructurings The Bank periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and minimize risk of loss. Loans which have been modified resulting in a concession, and where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings. To determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed as part of the credit underwriting process. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings that subsequently go into default, the Company determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses on loans individually identified as impaired. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased or decreased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge offs less recoveries. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when a loan is considered partially or fully uncollectible, or has such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Management estimates the allowance for loan losses balance using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance for loan losses may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for general economic conditions and other qualitative factors by portfolio segment. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment, discussed below, and is based on the actual loss history experienced over the most recent three-year period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with economic and other factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic and other risk factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge offs and recoveries; trends in portfolio volume; effects of any changes in underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: A) B) C) D) E) Mortgage Servicing Rights, net Servicing assets (i.e. mortgage servicing rights) are recognized separately when residential real estate loans are sold with servicing rights retained by the Bank. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value, which is determined based on an internal valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing assets to be amortized into non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan and are recognized as income when earned. The Bank also records late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing which were not material for the periods presented. On a quarterly basis, servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights as compared to its carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. If the carrying amount of an individual grouping exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that grouping so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping. If it is later determined that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the valuation allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. The fair values of servicing assets are subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of FHLB borrowings and other factors, and may invest additional amounts. The FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. The FHLB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and no quoted market value as the ownership is restricted to member institutions. Also, the FHLB stock is pledged as collateral on FHLB borrowings. Cash and stock dividends are reported as income in interest and dividends on investment securities and restricted stock in the consolidated statements of income. Cash dividends received amounted to $1,149, $815 and $730 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash Surrender Value of Bank‑Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers and employees; in addition, the Bank still owns policies on retired and former employees. Cash surrender value of bank‑owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Long‑Lived Assets Long‑lived assets, such as leasehold improvements and equipment, and definite‑lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require long‑lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long‑lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models and third‑party independent appraisals. Definite‑lived intangible assets, consisting of customer‑related intangibles, are amortized on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives of ten years. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, customer‑related intangibles totaled $4,500, less accumulated amortization of $4,050, and $3,600, respectively. Amortization expense related to the customer‑related intangibles was $450 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Remaining future annual amortization is $450 for the year 2019. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective January 1, 2018) On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606" ) , which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts to provide goods or services to its customers. The core principle of ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change in the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded at adoption. The majority of the Company's revenues are from interest income and other sources, including loans and investment securities, as well as fees related to mortgage servicing activities, which are not within the scope of ASC 606 and are instead subject to other accounting guidance. The Company's services that are within the scope of ASC 606 are recorded within non-interest income which includes investment management and advisory fees, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income and other service charges and fees. Descriptions of these activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in the consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income, are as follows: Service charges on deposit accounts: The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Bank 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 Bank satisfies the performance obligations. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposit accounts are withdrawn from the customer's account balance. Investment management and advisory fees: The Bank enters into contracts with certain customers to provide asset management services that will continue indefinitely unless terminated in writing by either party to the contract. The Bank receives a quarterly management fee, payable in advance, based on the customer's assets held under management at the beginning of the period. These fees are earned over time as the Bank provides the contracted services and are assessed based on a tiered rate applied to the market value of assets held under management. The Bank does not earn performance-based incentives. Interchange fees: The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the MasterCard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Such interchange activity is shown on a net basis through non-interest income, other income. Other service charges and fees : Other charges and fees includes revenue generated from wire transfers, lockboxes, and bank issuance of checks. Such fees are recognized at the point in time the customer requests the service and the service has been rendered. The following table presents sources of non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 that are within the scope of ASC 606: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Non-Interest Income: Service charges on deposit accounts* $ 230 $ 175 $ 67 Investment management and advisory fees 2,035 2,338 3,209 Interchange fees* 109 117 97 Other service charges and fees* 48 31 105 Not within the scope of ASC 606 19,615 11,847 10,750 Total non-interest income $ 22,037 $ 14,508 $ 14,228 * Included in service charges and fees in the consolidated statements of income . Contract Balances The Bank's noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity or month-end revenue accruals such as investment management and advisory fees based on the customer's assets held under management at the beginning of the period. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly thereafter, and the Bank satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. At December 31, 2018, the Bank had a contract asset balance of $29, which was recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Stock-based compensation Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant reduced by the present value of dividends per share expected to be paid during the period the shares are not vested. Compensation cost is recorded over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. The Company's accounting policy is to record forfeitures in the period that they occur. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale, net of income taxes, which is also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company releases the income tax effects on unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale that are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) on a security‑by‑security basis when debt securities are sold. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018‑02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to address certain tax rate changes that affect deferred taxes originally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1) (“Tax Act”). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted in periods where financial statements have not been issued. The guidance gives entities the option to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the tax law and tax rate changes under the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. The Company early adopted the guidance in 2017. The Company has elected to reclassify, to retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, the stranded tax effect, which includes the effect of the change in the newly enacted federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the historical tax rate, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings amounted to $28 as shown in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments Financial instruments include off‑balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Assets Held under Administration and Investment Management and Advisory Fees The Company does not include assets held in fiduciary or agency capacities in the consolidated balance sheets as such assets held under administration are not assets of the Company. Fees from asset management activities are recorded on an accrual basis over the period in which the service is provided. Fees, as set forth in the underlying customer contract, are a function of the market value of assets administrated and managed. Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Income per Share, Basic and Diluted Basic income per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effect of outstanding potential dilutive common shares. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-13 , Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as follows: (1) removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the reporting entity's policy for timing of transfers between levels; (2) removes the requirement to disclose the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; (3) clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting d

Information pertaining to sales of debt securities available for sale for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Proceeds $ 14,964 $ $ 596 Gross realized gains $ 89 $ 162 $ — Gross realized losses (3) (43) (898) Total net realized gains (losses) $ 86 $ $ (898) The income tax expense (benefit) related to the net realized gains and losses was $18, $41 and $(314) for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available for sale issued by U.S. Treasury at December 31, 2018 are shown by contractual maturity. Collateralized mortgage obligations and collateralized debt obligations are disclosed separately in the table below as the expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Amortized Fair Cost Value U.S. Treasury securities Due less than one year $ 142,905 $ 142,858 Collateralized mortgage obligations 1,554 1,600 Collateralized debt obligations 308 297 Total $ 144,767 $ 144,755 The table summarizes debt securities available for sale, at fair value, with unrealized losses at December 31, 2018 and 2017 aggregated by major security type and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as follows: December 31, 2018 Less than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Value Losses Value Losses Value Losses U.S. Treasury securities $ 113,219 $ (56) $ — $ — $ 113,219 $ (56) Collateralized debt obligations — — 297 (11) 297 (11) Total $ 113,219 $ (56) $ 297 $ (11) $ 113,516 $ (67) December 31, 2017 Less than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Value Losses Value Losses Value Losses U.S. Treasury securities $ 120,042 $ (174) $ — $ — $ 120,042 $ (174) Collateralized debt obligations — — 571 (35) 571 (35) Total $ 120,042 $ (174) $ 571 $ (35) $ 120,613 $ (209) As of December 31, 2018, the debt securities portfolio consisted of 9 debt securities, with 6 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management has both the intent and ability to hold these investments until the recovery of the decline; thus, the impairment was determined to be temporary. All interest and dividends are considered taxable. A collateralized debt obligation with a carrying value of $297 and $571 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was rated high quality at inception, but it was subsequently rated by Moody’s as B1, which is defined as “extremely speculative.” The issuers of the security are primarily banks. Management uses in-house and third party other-than-temporary impairment evaluation models to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in cash flows during the period. The other-than-temporary impairment model considers the structure and term of the collateralized debt obligations and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. The security remained classified as available for sale and represented $11 and $35 of the unrealized losses reported at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Another collateralized debt obligation had other-than-temporary impairments recognized in prior years before it was sold during 2016. The table below presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses taken on this collateralized debt obligation that were recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31: 2018 2017 2016 Beginning balance, January 1, $ — $ — $ 2,507 Reduction for previous credit losses realized on securities sold during the year — — (2,507) Ending balance, December 31, $ — $ — $ — Equity Securities Equity securities consist of an investment in a qualified community reinvestment act investment fund, which is a publicly-traded mutual fund and an investment in Pacific Coast Banker's Bank, a thinly traded, restricted stock. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, equity securities totaled $4,141 and $4,227, respectively. Prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities were stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01") and early adopted ASU No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2018-03 "). ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments, except those investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income. Also, for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, ASU No. 2016-01 provides a new measurement alternative. ASU No. 2016-01 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption to reclassify the cumulative change in fair value of equity securities previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). ASU No. 2018-03 clarifies certain aspects of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-01 primarily pertaining to the measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values. On January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $50 with offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Beginning January 1, 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in income. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were $3,895 and $3,981, respectively. The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in the consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2018: Year Ended December 31, 2018 Net losses recorded during the year on equity securities $ 87 Less: net losses recorded during the period on equity securities sold during the year — Unrealized losses recorded during the year on equity securities held at the reporting date $ 87 The Company has elected to account for its investment in a thinly traded, restricted stock using the measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The investment was reported at $246 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

reduced for partial charge offs. The recorded investment excludes accrued interest receivable on loans which was not significant. Also presented in the above table is the average recorded investment of the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method. The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of the loans for the period reported.

For residential real estate and other consumer loan portfolio segments, the Company also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which is presented above, and by payment activity. The Company reviews the status of nonperforming loans which include loans 90 days past due and still accruing and nonaccrual loans. Troubled Debt Restructurings At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance of outstanding loans identified as troubled debt restructurings was $5,826 and $3,073, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $261 and $56 on these loans at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were no loans identified as troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the terms of a construction loan and a commercial and industrial loan were modified by providing for an extension of the maturity dates at the contract’s existing rate of interest, which is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. The total outstanding recorded investments was $2,761 at the time of modification. The modification of a residential real estate loan performed during the year ended December 31, 2018 included a confirmed Chapter 13 repayment plan. The outstanding recorded investments was $109 at the time of modification. These modifications did not result in an increase of the allowance for loan losses or charge offs. During the year ended December 31, 2017, a residential mortgage loan was modified by providing for an extension of the amortization period. The Bank had commitments to lend an additional $477 to these customers as of December 31, 2018. The terms of certain other loans have been modified during 2018 and 2017 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a significant delay in a payment. These other loans that were modified were not considered significant. Credit Quality The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and other consumer loans and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial lines of credit, construction and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed monthly. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass: Loans are of satisfactory quality. Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying fcapacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the risk rating of loans by class of loans was as follows: Special December 31, 2018 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Construction $ 158,489 $ 8,733 $ 9,383 $ — $ 176,605 Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage 2,425,584 — 4,193 220 2,429,997 Residential second mortgage 22,444 — — — 22,444 Commercial real estate: Retail 8,843 — 1,174 — 10,017 Multifamily 63,555 — 1,083 — 64,638 Offices 27,670 — — — 27,670 Hotel/SROs 101,414 — — — 101,414 Industrial 14,756 — — — 14,756 Other 31,451 — 1,009 — 32,460 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking 15,762 — 176 — 15,938 C&I lending 17,785 — 4,053 — 21,838 Other consumer loans 26 — — — 26 Total $ 2,887,779 $ 8,733 $ 21,071 $ 220 $ 2,917,803 Special December 31, 2017 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Construction $ 177,241 $ 11,670 $ 3,408 $ — $ 192,319 Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage 2,114,511 — 109 520 2,115,140 Residential second mortgage 17,501 — — — 17,501 Commercial real estate: Retail 9,363 1,167 79 — 10,609 Multifamily 58,472 1,110 — — 59,582 Offices 26,571 — — — 26,571 Hotel/SROs 103,195 — — — 103,195 Industrial 15,907 — — — 15,907 Other 25,808 4,733 671 — 31,212 Commercial lines of credit: Private banking 22,702 — 196 — 22,898 C&I lending 17,851 — — — 17,851 Other consumer loans 29 — — — 29 Total $ 2,589,151 $ 18,680 $ 4,463 $ 520 $ 2,612,814 During the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Bank sold pools of residential real estate mortgages for $475.6 million, $308.4 million and $287.4 million, respectively, to third-party investors. The transactions resulted in full derecognition of the mortgages (i.e. transferred assets) from the consolidated balance sheets and recognition of gain on sale of portfolio loans of $16.4 million, $10.1 million and $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. After the sales, the Bank’s only continuing involvement in the transferred assets is to act as servicer or subservicer of the mortgages.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $11,523 and $7,086 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the estimate of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. The fair value at December 31, 2018 was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 12.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 6.8% to 33.6%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of 0.2%. The fair value at December 31, 2017 was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 12.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 6.8% to 36.0%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of 0.2%. At December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of certain individual groupings exceeded their fair values. See Note 14.

The holders have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. Common stock is subordinate to the series preferred stock as described below with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, winding up, and dissolution of the Company. Holders of nonvoting common stock had equal and identical rights, preferences and limitations, as holders of voting common stock. The non‑voting common stock did not have any voting rights. Preferred Stock The shares of preferred stock may be divided into and issued in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, with such designations and such relative voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences and limitations as may be adopted by the board of directors. No shares of preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding.

Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based Compensation	Note 11—Stock‑based Compensation The board of directors established a 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which was approved by the shareholders in October 2017. The Plan provides for the grant of up to 4,237,100 shares of common stock for stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock‑based awards for issuance to employees, consultants and board of directors of the Company. The stock‑based awards are issued at no less than the market price on the date the awards are granted. Stock Options Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The stock option awards generally vest in installments of 50% in each of the third and fourth year after the date of grant and have a maximum term of ten years. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted below. Estimating the grant date fair values for employee stock options requires management to make assumptions regarding expected volatility of the value of those underlying shares, the risk-free rate over the expected life of the stock options and the date on which share-based payments will be settled. Expected volatilities are based on a weighted average of the Company's historic volatility and an implied volatility for a group of industry-relevant bank holding companies as of the measurement date. The expected term of options granted is calculated using the simplified method (the midpoint between the end of the vesting period and the end of the maximum term). The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based upon U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield represents what the Company anticipates will be declared during the expected term of the options. On March 21, 2018, the board of directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 92,625 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $13.73 to certain key employees which are accounted for as equity awards. These options to purchase shares of common stock had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $4.56 per option. The grant-date fair value of each stock option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions set forth in the following table: Exercise price of options $ 13.73 Risk-free interest rate 2.80 % Expected term (in years) 6.75 Expected stock price volatility 23.70 % Dividend yield .29 % A summary of the Company's stock option activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 is as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Number Exercise Contractual Intrinsic of Options Price Term Value (Years) Outstanding at January 1, 2018 — $ — — $ — Granted 92,625 13.73 Exercised — — Forfeited/expired — — Outstanding at December 31, 2018 92,625 $ 13.73 9.22 $ — The Company recorded share-based compensation expense associated with stock options of $82 for the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, there was $340 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.22 years. No options are exercisable at December 31, 2018. Restricted Stock Awards On March 21, 2018, the board of directors approved the issuance of 39,655 restricted stock awards to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The restricted stock awards of 33,100 issued to key employees vest in installments of 50% in each of the third and fourth year after the date of grant. The 6,555 restricted stock awards issued to non-employee directors vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. On July 17, 2018, the board of directors approved an additional issuance of 9,320 restricted stock awards to non-employee directors that vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. The value of a restricted stock award is based on the market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant reduced by the present value of dividends per share expected to be paid during the period the shares are not vested. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock awards is $13.55. Upon a change in control, as defined in the Plan, the outstanding restricted stock awards will immediately vest. The fair value of the award is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards of $215 for the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, there was $449 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested stock granted under the Plan. The unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.68 years.

Income Per Share
Income Per Share	Note 12- Income Per Share Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share further includes any common shares available to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards if such inclusions would be dilutive. The Company determines the potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the computation of income per share, basic and diluted: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Numerator: Net income $ 63,468 $ 37,977 $ 33,234 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 52,963,308 46,219,367 45,271,000 Weighted average effect of potentially dilutive common shares: Stock options — — — Restricted stock 2,259 — — Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted 52,965,567 46,219,367 45,271,000 Income per share: Basic $ 1.20 $ 0.82 $ 0.73 Diluted $ 1.20 $ 0.82 $ 0.73 The effect of 92,625 options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in computing diluted income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2018, as the inclusion would be antidilutive. In September 2017, the board of directors approved a 1,000 for one stock split to be effected as a stock dividend on the Company's common stock. The stock split was effected on September 11, 2017. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Employee Benefit Plans	Note 13—Employee Benefit Plans Defined Contribution Retirement Plan The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan that allows for annual employee contributions up to the lesser of 100% of eligible compensation or $18, which are matched equal to 100% of the first 3% of the amount contributed. Dependent on the level of the Company’s financial performance, there is a mandatory contribution, in addition to an employee match of up to 1% of the amount contributed based on a tiered scale. The Company’s contribution to the plan was $773, $661 and $432 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan An unfunded supplemental retirement benefit plan covers certain employees. The agreements are subject to various terms and conditions but generally provide covered employees with a specified retirement benefit if they retire from the Company at a normal retirement date. The agreements also provide for the payment of vested amounts upon termination. The participant can elect to receive the payout as a lump sum or as an annuity. The supplemental retirement obligation liability was $2,898 and $2,653 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The expense, net of forfeitures, incurred for the supplemental retirement benefit plan was $273, $281 and $254 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Benefit payments of $28, $25 and $22 were made during 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Spilt Dollar Life Insurance Agreement In October 1997, the Company entered into an endorsement split‑dollar life insurance agreement with its principal shareholder and former chief executive officer. Pursuant to the plan, a portion of the death benefits arising from life insurance policies owned by the Company will be paid to beneficiaries designated by the principal shareholder and not to the Company. The estimated present value of this postretirement benefit accrued by the Company was $4,200 and $4,281 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Values of Financial Instruments	Note 14—Fair Values of Financial Instruments Financial instruments include assets carried at fair value, as well as certain assets and liabilities carried at cost or amortized cost but disclosed at fair value in these consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exit price, the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The following methods and significant assumptions are used to estimate fair value: Investment Securities The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar investment securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar investment securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual investment securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. Impaired Loans The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach, such as comparable sales or income approach, or a combination of both. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by us. Once received, an appraisal compliance review is completed in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Mortgage Servicing Rights Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is initially determined at the individual grouping level based on an internal valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. On a quarterly basis, mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon third party valuations obtained. As disclosed in Note 6, the valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income (Level 3). Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The table below presents the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized by the level of inputs used in the valuation of each asset at December 31, 2018 and 2017: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial Assets Available for sale debt securities: U.S. Treasury securities $ 142,858 $ 142,858 $ — $ — Collateralized mortgage obligations 1,600 — 1,600 — Collateralized debt obligations 297 — — 297 Equity securities 3,895 3,895 — — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial Assets Available for sale debt securities: U.S. Treasury securities $ 120,042 $ 120,042 $ — $ — Collateralized mortgage obligations 2,008 — 2,008 — Collateralized debt obligations 571 — — 571 Equity securities 4,227 3,981 — 246  * The Company has elected to account for its investment in a thinly traded, restricted stock with a carrying value of $246 using the measurement alternative for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value therefore, the investment is excluded from the fair value measurement disclosures at December 31, 2018. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The table below presents a reconciliation for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Investment Securities 2018 2017 Collateralized Collateralized Debt Equity Debt Equity Obligations Securities Obligations Securities Balance of recurring Level 3 assets at beginning of period $ 571 $ — $ 585 $ 529 Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized): Included in income-realized — — — — Included in other comprehensive income (loss) 24 — (10) — Principal maturities/settlements (298) — (4) (283) Sales — — — — Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 — — — — Balance of recurring Level 3 assets at end of period $ 297 $ — $ 571 $ 246 Unrealized losses on Level 3 investments for collateralized debt obligations was $11 at December 31, 2018. In addition to the amounts included in income for the year ended December 31, 2018 as presented in the table above, interest income recorded on collateralized debt obligations was $16. Unrealized losses on Level 3 investments for collateralized debt obligations and equity securities at December 31, 2017 were $35 and $0, respectively. In addition to the amounts included in income for the year ended December 31, 2017 as presented in the table above, interest income recorded on collateralized debt obligations was $21 and dividend income on equity securities was $15. The fair value of collateralized debt obligations is determined by calculating discounted cash flows using LIBOR curves plus spreads that adjust for loss severities, volatility, credit risk and optionality. When available, broker quotes are used to validate the internal model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as assumptions about specific-issuer defaults and deferrals are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. Assumptions are reviewed on a quarterly basis as specific-issuer deferral and defaults that occurred are compared to those that were projected and ongoing assumptions are adjusted in accordance with the level of unexpected deferrals and defaults that occurred. The following table presents quantitative information about recurring Level 3 fair value measurements at December 31, 2018 and 2017: Valuation Fair Value Technique Unobservable Inputs 2018 Collateralized debt obligations $ 297 Discounted cash flow Collateral default rate % Recovery probability % 2017 Collateralized debt obligations $ 571 Discounted cash flow Collateral default rate % Recovery probability 15 % The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the collateralized debt obligations are probabilities of specific-issuer defaults and specific-issuer recovery assumptions. Significant increases in specific-issuer default assumptions or decreases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Conversely, decreases in specific-issuer default assumptions or increases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non‑Recurring Basis From time to time, the Bank may be required to measure certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis which were still held in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the related carrying value: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Fair Assets Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Impaired loans: Construction $ 2,583 $ — $ — $ 2,583 Residential real estate 108 — — 108 Mortgage servicing rights 1,858 — — 1,858 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Fair Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Mortgage servicing rights $ 1,930 $ — $ — $ 1,930 As discussed previously, the fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans carried at fair value are determined by third-party appraisals. Management adjusts these appraised values based on the age of the appraisal and the type of the property. The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements for the financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2018 and 2017: Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018 Range Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs (Weighted Average) Impaired loans: Construction $ Sales comparison approach Management discount for property type and recent market volatility 10 % Residential real estate 108 Sales comparison approach Management discount for property type and recent market volatility % Mortgage servicing rights Discounted cash flow Discount rate 9.5% - 12.0 % Prepayment speed 7.0% - 33.6 % Weighted average default rate % Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2017 Range (Weighted Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs Average) Mortgage servicing rights $ 1,930 Discounted cash flow Discount rate 9.5% - 12.0 % Prepayment speed 7.2% - 46.2 % Weighted average default rate 0.1% - 0.3 % Fair Value of Financial Instruments With the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, as discussed in Note 3, the Company is required to calculate fair value of its financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price notion. The Company is not required to revise its prior-period disclosures of fair value for those financial instruments that may have been calculated using the entry price notion, which was acceptable prior to January 1, 2018. Therefore, the prior-period fair values disclosed may not be determined in a manner consistent with the current-period fair values disclosed because of a change in methodology . The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value at December 31, 2018 and 2017, are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018 Carrying Fair Amount Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets Cash and due from banks $ 52,526 $ 52,526 $ 52,526 $ — $ — Interest-bearing deposits with other banks 1,100 1,100 1,100 — — Mortgage loans held for sale 1,248 1,261 — 1,261 — Loans, net 2,893,262 2,987,419 — — 2,987,419 Financial Liabilities Time deposits 894,279 890,020 — 890,020 — Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings 293,000 285,265 — 285,265 — Subordinated notes, net 65,029 65,650 — 65,650 — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2017 Carrying Fair Amount Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets Cash and due from banks $ 40,147 $ 40,147 $ 40,147 $ — $ — Mortgage loans held for sale 112,866 115,619 — 115,619 — Loans, net 2,594,357 2,635,986 — — 2,635,986 Financial Liabilities Time deposits 663,472 660,380 — 660,380 — Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings 338,000 330,004 — 330,004 — Subordinated notes, net 64,889 67,485 — 67,485 —

Due to the change in tax rate, the Company was required to remeasure its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including the deferred tax balance attributable to items of pretax comprehensive income (loss), based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future. The effect of the Tax Act of $3.3 million was recorded in deferred income tax expense in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 which related entirely to the remeasurement of the net deferred tax asset. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based on its evaluation, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2018 and 2017, will be realized. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes of the state of New York and California. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years before 2015. There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018, and the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.

Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Lease Commitments The Company leases its corporate headquarters and branch offices through noncancelable operating leases with terms that range from years 2019 to 2029, with certain renewal options thereafter. Rent expense was $4,401, $3,544 and $2,770 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the minimum annual rental payments under noncancelable operating leases were as follows: 2019 $ 4,171 2020 4,015 2021 3,387 2022 2,605 2023 2,356 Thereafter 9,479 $ 26,013 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Unfunded Commitments to Extend Credit A commitment to extend credit, such as a loan commitment, credit line and overdraft protection, is a legally binding agreement to lend funds to a customer, usually at a stated interest rate and for a specific purpose. Such commitments have fixed expiration dates and generally require a fee. The extension of a commitment gives rise to credit risk. The actual liquidity requirements or credit risk that the Bank will experience is expected to be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of those commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Certain commitments are subject to loan agreements containing covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer that must be met before the Bank is required to fund the commitment. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does in making loans. The commitments outstanding to make loans include primarily residential real estate loans that are made for a period of 90 days or less. At December 31, 2018, outstanding commitments to make loans consisted of fixed rate loans of $5,603 with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 7.50% and maturities of 20 and 30 years and variable rate loans of $236,206 with varying interest rates (ranging from 3.875% to 7.875% at December 31, 2018) and maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years. Standby Letters of Credit Standby letters of credit are issued on behalf of customers in connection with construction contracts between the customers and third parties. Under standby letters of credit, the Bank assures that the third parties will receive specified funds if customers fail to meet their contractual obligations. The credit risk to the Bank arises from its obligation to make payment in the event of a customer’s contractual default. The maximum amount of potential future payments guaranteed by the Bank is limited to the contractual amount of these letters. Collateral may be obtained at exercise of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The following is a summary of the total amount of unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017: 2018 2017 Commitments to make loans $ 241,809 $ 268,401 Unused lines of credit 160,803 157,234 Standby letters of credit 70 70

Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to thrift holding companies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. The minimum requirements, excluding significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized categories, are as follows: Capital Tier 1 Weighted Capital to Common Assets Average Tier 1 Total Tier 1 Assets (CET1) Well Capitalized 10.0 % 8.0 % 5.0 % 6.5 % Adequately Capitalized 8.0 % 6.0 % 4.0 % 4.5 % Undercapitalized 6.0 % 4.0 % 3.0 % 3.0 % The final rules implementing Basel III became effective on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all requirements being phased in over a multi‑year schedule, and fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Company must hold a capital conservation buffer over the adequately capitalized risk‑based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was required to be phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% on January 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the capital conservation buffer was 1.875%. The net unrealized gain or loss on investment securities is not included in regulatory capital. Management believes that at December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank meet all regulatory capital requirements to which they are subject. At December 31, 2018, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized. There have been no conditions or events since these notifications that management believes would have changed the Bank’s category. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank exceeded all capital requirements to be categorized as well capitalized and the Company exceeded the capital adequacy requirements as presented below. The Company and the Bank’s actual and minimum required capital amounts and ratios, with such regulatory minimums not including the capital conservation buffer, at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows: For Capital Adequacy To be Well Actual Purposes Capitalized Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio December 31, 2018 Total adjusted capital to risk-weighted assets Consolidated $ 421,495 21.98 % $ 153,426 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank 324,905 16.94 153,403 8.00 $ 191,754 10.00 % Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets Consolidated 334,616 17.45 115,069 6.00 N/A N/A Bank 303,055 15.80 115,052 6.00 153,403 8.00 Common Tier 1 (CET1) Consolidated 334,616 17.45 86,302 4.50 N/A N/A Bank 303,055 15.80 86,289 4.50 124,640 6.50 Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted tangible assets Consolidated 334,616 10.42 128,431 4.00 N/A N/A Bank 303,055 9.44 128,430 4.00 160,538 5.00 For Capital Adequacy To be Well Actual Purposes Capitalized Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio December 31, 2017 Total adjusted capital to risk-weighted assets Consolidated $ 365,078 20.28 % $ 140,447 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank 259,165 14.76 140,447 8.00 $ 175,559 10.00 % Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets Consolidated 272,732 15.53 105,336 6.00 N/A N/A Bank 240,708 13.71 105,336 6.00 140,447 8.00 Common Tier 1 (CET1) Consolidated 272,732 15.53 79,002 4.50 N/A N/A Bank 240,708 13.71 79,002 4.50 114,114 6.50 Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted tangible assets Consolidated 272,732 9.83 110,949 4.00 N/A N/A Bank 240,708 8.68 110,949 4.00 138,687 5.00 Dividend Restrictions As noted above, banking regulations require the Bank to maintain certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding company to its shareholders. The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank and banking regulations limit the dividends that may be paid. Also, pursuant to the terms of the subordinated note agreements, the Company may pay dividends if it is “well capitalized” as defined by regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2018, $174 million of consolidated retained earnings were available to pay dividends to the Company’s shareholders. The Qualified Thrift Lender (“QTL”) test requires that a minimum of 65% of assets be maintained in housing‑related finance and other specified areas. If the QTL test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, FHLB Advances and dividends, or the Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that the QTL test has been met.

Subsequent Events	Note 21—Subsequent Events Stock Repurchase Program On December 24, 2018, the board of directors approved the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The stock repurchase program permits the Company to acquire shares of common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company received regulatory approval of the stock repurchase program on January 28, 2019. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company is not obligated to repurchase shares of its common stock, and there is no assurance that it will do so. Any shares repurchased under this program will be canceled and returned to authorized but unissued status. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased and canceled 1,104,060 shares of common stock for $10,462, including commission and fees. Stock-based Compensation On March 1, 2019, the board of directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 84,891 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.12 to certain key employees. The options vest in installment of 50% in each of the third and fourth year after the date of a grant and have a maximum term of ten years. Also, the board of directors approved the issuance of 71,147 restricted stock awards to certain key employees. The restricted stock awards vest in installments of 50% in each of the third and fourth year after the date of grant. Sale of Mortgage Loans The Bank has identified a portfolio of residential real estate loans of approximately $49 million which we intend to sell in the first quarter of 2019.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, and an entity under common control that was merged with the Company in April 2017 (Note 1). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in the future periods may be based upon amounts that could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Bank utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine its fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not readily available, the Bank uses present value techniques and other valuation methods, as disclosed in Note 14, to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used. Investments securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Bank may be required to record other assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, other real estate owned, nonmarketable equity securities and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments generally involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting.
Cash and Due From Banks	Cash and Due From Banks For the purposes of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, cash includes cash and time deposits, and other deposits held with other banks with original maturities of three months or less. Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve at December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $26,791 and $23,113, respectively, was required to be held to meet certain regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. The Company presents the cash flows from customer loans, deposit transactions and short‑term borrowings on a net basis in its consolidated statements of cash flows.
Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks	Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks Interest-bearing deposits with other banks, consisting of certificates of deposit, have maturities greater than three months and are carried at cost.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk The loan portfolio consists primarily of residential real estate loans which are collateralized by real estate. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, residential real estate loans accounted for 84% and 82%, respectively, of the loan portfolio. In addition, most of these residential loans and other commercial loans have been made to individuals and businesses in the state of California which are dependent on the area economy for their livelihoods and servicing of their loan obligation. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately 94% and 95%, respectively, of the loan portfolio was originated in California.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities Investment securities includes debt securities and equity securities. Debt Securities Debt securities are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity. Management determines the classification of the debt securities when they are purchased. Debt securities available for sale are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and shown as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums (noncallable) and accretion of discounts over the contractual life of the investment security using the effective interest method or, in the case of asset‑backed securities, over the estimated life of the investment security using the effective yield method. Interest income includes amortization or accretion of purchase premium or discount. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the settlement date and determined using the specific identification method. Management evaluates debt securities for other‑than‑temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near‑term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether a decline is other‑than‑temporary involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. A charge is recognized against income for all or a portion of the impairment if the loss is determined to be other than temporary. If the Bank intends to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the debt security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the debt security is written down to fair value, and the full amount of any impairment charge is recorded as a loss in the consolidated statements of income. If the Bank does not intend to sell the debt security and it is more likely than not that the Bank will not be required to sell the debt security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, only the current period credit loss of any impairment of a debt security is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, with the remaining impairment recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Equity Securities Beginning January 1, 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with unrealized and realized gains and losses reported in income. Those equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost, less any impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Any changes in the carrying value of the equity investments are recognized in income. Management performs a qualitative assessment each reporting period to identify impairment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. When a qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment exists, Management determines the fair value of the investment and if the fair value is less than the investment's carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment in income. Prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities were classified as available for sale and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. A decline in value of an equity security that was considered other than temporary was recorded in income.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Residential real estate loans originated or purchased and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value on an individual loan basis as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to income in the consolidated statements of income. Residential real estate loans originated as held for investment are periodically sold generally with servicing retained in order to manage liquidity, interest rate or concentration risk. Loans that are transferred into loans held for sale from loans held for investment, due to a change in intent, are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. When loans originally classified as held for sale or as held for investment are reclassified due to a change in intent or ability to hold, cash flows associated with the loans are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating or investing, as appropriate, in accordance with the initial classification of the loans. Residential real estate loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. Upon the sale of an originated loan, the mortgage servicing right asset is established and recorded at its estimated fair value, and a corresponding gain is recognized in gain on sale of mortgage loans held for sale or gain on sale of portfolio loans. Gains and losses on sales of residential real estate loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loans sold.
Loans	Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income, including unamortized loan fees and costs on originated loans, and allowances for loan losses. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the contractual lives of the respective loans as a yield adjustment using the effective interest method. Other credit-related fees are recognized as fee income, as a component of noninterest income. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned using the interest method over the term of the loan. The accrual of interest income is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant (i.e. nonaccrual loan), unless the loan is secured and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued and unpaid during prior periods is reversed. Any payments on nonaccrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan principal amounts and then to the recovery of the charged off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of interest and fees. Loans are returned to accrual status after all principal and interest amounts contractually due are made and future payments are reasonably assured. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings, as defined below, and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining if a loan is impaired 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 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. Construction loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial lines of credit are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral or operations of collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as other consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Troubled Debt Restructurings	Troubled Debt Restructurings The Bank periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and minimize risk of loss. Loans which have been modified resulting in a concession, and where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings. To determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed as part of the credit underwriting process. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings that subsequently go into default, the Company determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses on loans individually identified as impaired.
Allowance for Loan Losses	Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased or decreased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge offs less recoveries. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when a loan is considered partially or fully uncollectible, or has such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Management estimates the allowance for loan losses balance using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance for loan losses may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for general economic conditions and other qualitative factors by portfolio segment. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment, discussed below, and is based on the actual loss history experienced over the most recent three-year period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with economic and other factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic and other risk factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge offs and recoveries; trends in portfolio volume; effects of any changes in underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: A) B) C) D) E)
Mortgage Servicing Rights, net	Mortgage Servicing Rights, net Servicing assets (i.e. mortgage servicing rights) are recognized separately when residential real estate loans are sold with servicing rights retained by the Bank. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value, which is determined based on an internal valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing assets to be amortized into non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan and are recognized as income when earned. The Bank also records late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing which were not material for the periods presented. On a quarterly basis, servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights as compared to its carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. If the carrying amount of an individual grouping exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that grouping so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping. If it is later determined that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the valuation allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. The fair values of servicing assets are subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Transfers of Financial Assets	Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of FHLB borrowings and other factors, and may invest additional amounts. The FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. The FHLB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and no quoted market value as the ownership is restricted to member institutions. Also, the FHLB stock is pledged as collateral on FHLB borrowings. Cash and stock dividends are reported as income in interest and dividends on investment securities and restricted stock in the consolidated statements of income. Cash dividends received amounted to $1,149, $815 and $730 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Cash Surrender Value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance	Cash Surrender Value of Bank‑Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers and employees; in addition, the Bank still owns policies on retired and former employees. Cash surrender value of bank‑owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Long-Lived Assets	Long‑Lived Assets Long‑lived assets, such as leasehold improvements and equipment, and definite‑lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require long‑lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long‑lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models and third‑party independent appraisals. Definite‑lived intangible assets, consisting of customer‑related intangibles, are amortized on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives of ten years. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, customer‑related intangibles totaled $4,500, less accumulated amortization of $4,050, and $3,600, respectively. Amortization expense related to the customer‑related intangibles was $450 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Remaining future annual amortization is $450 for the year 2019.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective January 1, 2018) On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606" ) , which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts to provide goods or services to its customers. The core principle of ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change in the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded at adoption. The majority of the Company's revenues are from interest income and other sources, including loans and investment securities, as well as fees related to mortgage servicing activities, which are not within the scope of ASC 606 and are instead subject to other accounting guidance. The Company's services that are within the scope of ASC 606 are recorded within non-interest income which includes investment management and advisory fees, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income and other service charges and fees. Descriptions of these activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in the consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income, are as follows: Service charges on deposit accounts: The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Bank 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 Bank satisfies the performance obligations. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposit accounts are withdrawn from the customer's account balance. Investment management and advisory fees: The Bank enters into contracts with certain customers to provide asset management services that will continue indefinitely unless terminated in writing by either party to the contract. The Bank receives a quarterly management fee, payable in advance, based on the customer's assets held under management at the beginning of the period. These fees are earned over time as the Bank provides the contracted services and are assessed based on a tiered rate applied to the market value of assets held under management. The Bank does not earn performance-based incentives. Interchange fees: The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the MasterCard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Such interchange activity is shown on a net basis through non-interest income, other income. Other service charges and fees : Other charges and fees includes revenue generated from wire transfers, lockboxes, and bank issuance of checks. Such fees are recognized at the point in time the customer requests the service and the service has been rendered. The following table presents sources of non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 that are within the scope of ASC 606: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Non-Interest Income: Service charges on deposit accounts* $ 230 $ 175 $ 67 Investment management and advisory fees 2,035 2,338 3,209 Interchange fees* 109 117 97 Other service charges and fees* 48 31 105 Not within the scope of ASC 606 19,615 11,847 10,750 Total non-interest income $ 22,037 $ 14,508 $ 14,228 * Included in service charges and fees in the consolidated statements of income . Contract Balances The Bank's noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity or month-end revenue accruals such as investment management and advisory fees based on the customer's assets held under management at the beginning of the period. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly thereafter, and the Bank satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. At December 31, 2018, the Bank had a contract asset balance of $29, which was recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant reduced by the present value of dividends per share expected to be paid during the period the shares are not vested. Compensation cost is recorded over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. The Company's accounting policy is to record forfeitures in the period that they occur.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale, net of income taxes, which is also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company releases the income tax effects on unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale that are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) on a security‑by‑security basis when debt securities are sold. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018‑02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to address certain tax rate changes that affect deferred taxes originally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1) (“Tax Act”). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted in periods where financial statements have not been issued. The guidance gives entities the option to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the tax law and tax rate changes under the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. The Company early adopted the guidance in 2017. The Company has elected to reclassify, to retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, the stranded tax effect, which includes the effect of the change in the newly enacted federal corporate tax rate of 21% and the historical tax rate, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings amounted to $28 as shown in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments	Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments Financial instruments include off‑balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Assets Held under Administration and Investment Management and Advisory Fees	Assets Held under Administration and Investment Management and Advisory Fees The Company does not include assets held in fiduciary or agency capacities in the consolidated balance sheets as such assets held under administration are not assets of the Company. Fees from asset management activities are recorded on an accrual basis over the period in which the service is provided. Fees, as set forth in the underlying customer contract, are a function of the market value of assets administrated and managed.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Income per Share, Basic and Diluted	Income per Share, Basic and Diluted Basic income per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effect of outstanding potential dilutive common shares.
