AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American National Bankshares Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Bank offers a wide variety of retail, commercial, secondary market mortgage lending, and trust and investment services which also include non-deposit products such as mutual funds and insurance policies.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and intangible assets, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, accounting for merger and acquisition activity, accounting for acquired loans with specific credit-related deterioration, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
All significant inter-company transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation, with the exception of the AMNB Trust and the MidCarolina Trusts, as detailed in Note 11.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for any other period. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net income and were considered immaterial. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") made subsequent amendments to Topic 842 in July 2018 through ASU 2018-10 ("Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases.") and ASU 2018-11 ("Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements."). Among these amendments is the provision in ASU 2018-11 that provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity's reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (Topic 840, Leases). The Company adopted using the additional (and optional) transition method. The effect of adopting this standard on January 1, 2019 was an approximately $4.4 million increase in assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting

11



for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. At the FASB’s October 16, 2019 meeting, the board amended the effective date of this ASU for many companies. Public business entities that are Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filers, excluding those meeting the smaller reporting company definition, will retain the initial required implementation date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  All other entities will be required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022As a smaller reporting company, the Company has elected to defer adoption until January, 2023. The Company will continue to validate its models that will be used upon future adoption of the standard. The implementation of this ASU will likely result in increases to the Company's reserves when implemented.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain of the amendments are to be applied prospectively while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Certain disclosure requirements have been deleted while the following disclosure requirements have been added: the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements in paragraph 715-20-50-3, which state that the following information for defined benefit pension plans should be disclosed: the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2018-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments." The amendments in this ASU clarify and improve areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement including improvements resulting from various Transition Resource Group meetings. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief." The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently measure those instruments at fair value with changes in fair value flowing through earnings. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the balance sheet. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Acquisitions
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Roanoke-based HomeTown Bankshares Corporation ("HomeTown") and its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, HomeTown Bank. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the merger agreement, as a result of the merger, the holders of shares of HomeTown common stock received 0.4150 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of HomeTown common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The following table provides a preliminary assessment of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (dollars in thousands):

The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of HomeTown's previously established allowance for loan losses. The fair value of the loans was determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and leases and then applying a market-based discount rate to those cash flows. In this regard, the acquired loans were segregated into pools based on loan type and credit risk. Loan type was determined based on collateral type, purpose, and lien position. Credit risk characteristics included risk rating groups (pass rated loans and adversely classified loans), and past due status. For valuation purposes, these pools were further disaggregated by maturity, pricing characteristics (e.g., fixed-rate, adjustable-rate) and re-payment structure (e.g., interest only, fully amortizing, balloon). If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances about expected cash flows that existed as of the acquisition date, management will adjust fair values in accordance with accounting for business combinations.

13



The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration which are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet these criteria, which are accounted for under ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, (acquired performing).

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $11.3 million in merger and acquisition integration expenses related to the merger, including $9.1 million in data processing termination and conversion costs, $1.7 million in legal and professional fees, $0.4 million in salary related expense, and $0.1 million in other noninterest expenses. The majority of these expenses were related to integration and are deductible for tax purposes.
The following tables present unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition of HomeTown had occurred on January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of HomeTown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of HomeTown's provision for credit losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2018. Pro forma adjustments below include the net impact of accretion for 2018 and the elimination of merger-related costs for 2019. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Restricted Stock
Due to restrictions placed upon the Bank's common stock investment in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), these securities have been classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost.  The restricted securities are not subject to the investment security classification and are included as a separate line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.  The FRB requires the Bank to maintain stock with a par value equal to 3.00% of its outstanding capital and an additional 3.00% is on call.  The FHLB requires the Bank to maintain stock in an amount equal to 4.25% of outstanding borrowings and a specific percentage of the Bank's total assets. The cost of restricted stock at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Temporarily Impaired Securities
The following table shows estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2019.  The reference point for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is month-end.  Therefore, it is possible that a security's market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period.

Federal agencies and GSEs: The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in 25 government sponsored entities ("GSE") securities were caused by interest rate increases. Twelve of these securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.
Mortgage-backed securities: The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in 24 GSE mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. Seventeen of these securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company's investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations: The unrealized losses associated with four private GSE collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") were due to normal market fluctuations. One of these securities was in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The contractual cash flows of that investment is guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the security would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company's investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.
State and municipal securities:  The unrealized losses on seven state and municipal securities were caused by interest rate increases. Two of these securities were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.
Corporate securities:  There were no corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2019.
Restricted stock: When evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The Company does not consider restricted stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019, and no impairment has been recognized.

In the table above, recorded investment may exceed unpaid principal balance due to acquired loans with a premium and loans with unearned costs that exceed unearned fees.
There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there was one residential real estate loan modified as a TDR. These were included in the impaired loan balances and were extensions of the loan maturity with a pre- and post-modification outstanding recorded investment of $207,000 for 2019 and $11,000 for 2018.
 
 
 
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no loans that subsequently defaulted within 12 months of modification. The Company defines defaults as one or more payments that occur more than 90 days past the due date, charge-off or foreclosure subsequent to modification.

Loans classified in the Pass category typically are fundamentally sound and risk factors are reasonable and acceptable.
Loans classified in the Special Mention category typically have been criticized internally, by loan review or the loan officer, or by external regulators under the current credit policy regarding risk grades.
Loans classified in the Substandard category typically have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are typically characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Loans classified in the Doubtful category typically have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts,

22



conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur that may salvage the debt.
Consumer loans are classified as performing or nonperforming.  A loan is nonperforming when payments of interest and principal are past due 90 days or more.

The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan segments based upon historical loss factors, risk grades on individual loans, and qualitative factors.  Qualitative factors include trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, and loss rates; trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection, underwriting standards, and lending policies; experience of lending officers, other lending staff and loan review; national, regional, and local economic trends and conditions; legal, regulatory and collateral factors; and concentrations of credit.
Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Impairment testing is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The Company performs its annual analysis as of June 30 each fiscal year. Accounting guidance permits preliminary assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether more substantial impairment testing is required. The Company chose to bypass the preliminary assessment and utilized a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. No indicators of impairment were identified as of June 30, 2019.
Core deposit intangibles resulting from the acquisition of MidCarolina Financial Corporation ("MidCarolina") in July 2011 were $6,556,000 and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 108 months. Core deposit intangibles resulting from the acquisition of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. in January 2015 were $1,839,000 and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months. Core deposit intangibles resulting from the acquisition of HomeTown in April 2019 were $8,200,000 and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months.

Note 7 – Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and, consistent with such elections, did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. As stated in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K, the implementation of the new standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $4.4 million at the date of adoption, which is related to the Company's lease of premises used in operations. In connection with the HomeTown merger, the Company added $1.8 million to the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company's long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Note 8 – Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings may consist of customer repurchase agreements, overnight borrowings from the FHLB, and federal funds purchased.  The Company has federal funds lines of credit established with one correspondent bank in the amount of $15,000,000 and another correspondent bank in the amount of $10,000,000, and has access to the FRB's discount window. Customer repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government or GSEs.  They mature daily.  The interest rates may be changed at the discretion of the Company. The securities underlying these agreements remain under the Company's control. FHLB overnight borrowings contain floating interest rates that may change daily at the discretion of the FHLB.  Federal funds purchased are unsecured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions. Short-term borrowings consisted of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Note 9 – Long-term Borrowings 
Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans.  In addition, the Company pledges as collateral its capital stock in the FHLB and deposits with the FHLB.  The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 30% of the Company's assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged.  As of September 30, 2019, $754,944,000 in eligible collateral was pledged under the blanket floating lien agreement which covers both short-term and long-term borrowings.
There were no long-term borrowings with FHLB as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018
 
In the regular course of conducting its business, the Company takes deposits from political subdivisions of the states of Virginia and North Carolina. At September 30, 2019, the Bank's public deposits totaled $219,291,000. The Company is required to provide collateral to secure the deposits that exceed the insurance coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This collateral can be provided in the form of certain types of government or agency bonds or letters of credit from the FHLB. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $190,000,000 in letters of credit with the FHLB outstanding, as well as $74,426,000 in agency, state, and municipal securities, pledged to provide collateral for such deposits.

Note 10 – Subordinated Debt 
On April 1, 2019, in connection with the HomeTown merger, the Company assumed $7,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes issued to various institutional accredited investors. The notes have a maturity date of December 30, 2025 and have an annual fixed interest rate of 6.75% until December 30, 2020. Thereafter, the notes will have a floating interest rate based on LIBOR. Interest will be paid semi-annually, in arrears, on June 30 and December 30 of each year during the time that the notes remain outstanding through the fixed interest rate period or earlier redemption date. Interest will be paid quarterly, in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 throughout the floating interest rate period or earlier redemption date.
The indebtedness evidenced by the notes, including principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of the Company's payments to general and secured creditors and depositors of the bank. The notes are redeemable, without penalty, on or after December 30, 2020 and, in certain limited circumstances, prior to that date. The notes limit the Company from declaring or paying any dividend, or making any distribution on capital stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Company if the Company is not "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes, immediately prior to the declaration of such dividend or distribution, except for dividends payable solely in shares of common stock of the Company.
The carrying value of the subordinated debt includes a fair value adjustment of $21,000 at September 30, 2019. The original fair value adjustment of $30,000 was recorded as a result of the acquisition of HomeTown on April 1, 2019, and is being amortized into interest expense through December 30, 2020.
Note 11 – Junior Subordinated Debt 
On April 7, 2006, AMNB Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust and a wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company, issued $20,000,000 of preferred securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. The Trust Preferred Securities mature on June 30, 2036, but may be redeemed at the Company's option beginning on September 30, 2011. Distributions are cumulative and will accrue from the date of original issuance, but may be deferred by the Company from time to time for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods. The Company has guaranteed the payment of all required distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities. The proceeds of the Trust Preferred Securities received by the trust, along with proceeds of $619,000 received by the trust from the issuance of common securities by the trust to the Company, were used to purchase $20,619,000 of the Company's junior subordinated debt securities (the "Junior Subordinated Debt"), issued pursuant to junior subordinated debentures entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. The proceeds of the Junior Subordinated Debt were used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration to the former shareholders of Community First Financial Corporation in connection with the Company's acquisition of that company in 2006, and for general corporate purposes.
On July 1, 2011, in connection with the MidCarolina merger, the Company assumed $8,764,000 in junior subordinated debt to MidCarolina Trust I and MidCarolina Trust II, two separate Delaware statutory trusts (the "MidCarolina Trusts"), to fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities issued by the MidCarolina Trusts. These long-term obligations, which currently qualify as Tier 1 capital, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the MidCarolina Trusts' obligations. The MidCarolina Trusts were not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
In accordance with ASC 810-10-15-14, Consolidation – Overall – Scope and Scope Exceptions, the Company did not eliminate through consolidation the Company's $619,000 equity investment in AMNB Statutory Trust I or the $264,000 equity investment in the MidCarolina Trusts. Instead, the Company reflected this equity investment in the "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" line item in the consolidated balance sheets.

The principal amounts reflected above for the MidCarolina Trusts are net of fair value adjustments of $1,380,000 and $1,456,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The original fair value adjustments of $1,197,000 and $1,021,000 were recorded as a result of the acquisition of MidCarolina on July 1, 2011, and are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining lives of the respective borrowings.
Note 12 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments ("derivatives") primarily to manage risks to the Company associated with changing interest rates. The Company's derivatives are hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge).
The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows on variable rate borrowings such as the Company's trust preferred capital notes. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements as part of its hedging strategy by exchanging variable-rate interest payments on a notional amount equal to the principal amount of the borrowings for fixed-rate interest payments, with such interest rates set based on benchmarked interest rates.
All interest rate swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Company's credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these derivative contracts is not significant.
Terms and conditions of the interest rate swaps vary and amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship on a periodic basis. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the effective portions of the derivatives' unrealized gains or losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Based on the Company's assessment, its cash flow hedges are highly effective, but to the extent that any ineffectiveness exists in the hedge relationships, the amounts would be recorded in interest income and interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Note 13 – Stock Based Compensation 
The Company's 2018 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2018 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 20, 2018, and approved by shareholders on May 15, 2018, at the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, incentive and non-statutory options, and other equity-based awards to employees and directors at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 675,000 shares of common stock. The 2018 Plan replaced the Company's stock incentive plan that was approved by the shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting that expired in February 2018 (the "2008 Plan").
Stock Options
Accounting guidance requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

The fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed over the options' vesting period. No stock options have been granted since 2009. Replacement stock option awards representing 40,753 shares of the Company's common stock were issued in conjunction with the HomeTown acquisition. As of September 30, 2019, there were no unrecognized compensation expenses related to nonvested stock option grants.
Restricted Stock
The Company from time-to-time grants shares of restricted stock to key employees and non-employee directors. These awards help align the interests of these employees and directors with the interests of the shareholders of the Company by providing economic value directly related to increases in the value of the Company's common stock. The value of the stock awarded is established as the fair value of the Company's common stock at the time of the grant. The Company recognizes expense, equal to the total value of such awards, ratably over the vesting period of the stock grants. The majority of the restricted stock granted cliff vests at the end of a 36-month period beginning on the date of the grant. The remainder vests one-third each year beginning on the date of the grant. Nonvested restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30,

The weighted average period over which this cost is expected to be recognized is 1.50 years. The share based compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock was $737,000 and $437,000 during the nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The expense for the nine months of 2019 included $257,000 of accelerated compensation expense as a result of the HomeTown merger.
The Company offers its outside directors alternatives with respect to director compensation. For 2019, the regular quarterly board retainer will be received in the form of shares of immediately vested, but restricted stock with a market value of $7,500. Monthly meeting fees can be received as $725 per meeting in cash or $900 in immediately vested, but restricted stock. Only outside directors receive board fees. The Company issued 13,128 and 10,865 shares and recognized share based compensation expense of $467,000 and $422,000 during the nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements
Determination of Fair Value 
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the fair value measurements and disclosures topic of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy 
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 –
Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –
Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –
Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
 The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available for sale and equity securities: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). If no observable market data is available, valuations are based upon third party

31



model based techniques (Level 3). There were no securities recorded with a Level 3 valuation at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Derivative asset (liability) - cash flow hedges: Cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Cash flow hedges are valued by a third party using significant assumptions that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by market data. All of the Company's cash flow hedges are classified as Level 2.
The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income.

32



Impaired loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected when due. The measurement of the loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan, the present value of projected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company's collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). The present value of projected cash flows method results in a Level 3 categorization because the calculation relies on the Company's judgment to determine projected cash flows, which are then discounted at the current rate of the loan, or the rate prior to modification if the loan is a TDR. However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the property is more than one year old and not solely based on observable market comparables or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business's financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of income.
Other real estate owned:  Measurement for fair values for OREO are the same as impaired loans. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a valuation allowance against OREO with the associated expense included in OREO expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.
The following table summarizes the Company's assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of American National Bankshares Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company and on information available to management at the time these statements and disclosures were prepared. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, estimates, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.
A variety of factors, some of which are discussed in more detail in Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, may affect the operations, performance, business strategy, and results of the Company. Those factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
financial market volatility, including the level of interest rates, could affect the values of financial instruments and the amount of net interest income earned;
general economic or business conditions, either nationally or in the market areas in which the Company does business, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in deteriorating credit quality, reduced demand for credit, or a weakened ability to generate deposits;
competition among financial institutions may increase, and competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products and technology that enable those competitors to compete more successfully than the Company;
businesses that the Company is engaged in may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards and tax laws;
cybersecurity threats or attacks, the implementation of new technologies, and the ability to develop and maintain reliable electronic systems;
the ability to retain key personnel;
the failure of assumptions underlying the allowance for loan losses; and
risks associated with mergers and acquisitions and other expansion activities.
On April 1, 2019, the Company announced the completion of its acquisition of Roanoke-based HomeTown Bankshares Corporation ("HomeTown"). In addition to the factors described above, the Company's operations, performance, business strategy and results may be affected by the following factors:
cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe;
the businesses of the Company and/or HomeTown may not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;
revenues following the merger may be lower than expected; and
customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the merger.
Reclassification
In certain circumstances, reclassifications have been made to prior period information to conform to the 2019 presentation. There were no material reclassifications.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and they conform to general practices within the banking industry.  The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them, as needed. Management has discussed the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company's critical accounting policies, which are summarized below, relate to (1) the allowance for loan losses, (2) mergers and acquisitions, (3) acquired loans with specific credit-related deterioration, (4) goodwill and intangible assets, (5) deferred tax assets and liabilities, and (6) other-than-temporary impairment of securities. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

41



The financial information contained within the Company's financial statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The purpose of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") is to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Loan charge-offs decrease the allowance.
The goal of the Company is to maintain an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process to determine the amounts of the ALLL and the provision for loan loss expense.
The Company uses certain practices to manage its credit risk. These practices include (1) appropriate lending limits for loan officers, (2) a loan approval process, (3) careful underwriting of loan requests, including analysis of borrowers, cash flows, collateral, and market risks, (4) regular monitoring of the portfolio, including diversification by type and geography, (5) review of loans by the Loan Review department, which operates independently of loan production, (6) regular meetings of the Credit Committee to discuss portfolio and policy changes and make decisions on large or unusual loan requests, and (7) regular meetings of the Asset Quality Committee which reviews the status of individual loans.
Risk grades are assigned as part of the loan origination process. From time to time, risk grades may be modified as warranted by the facts and circumstances surrounding the credit.
Calculation and analysis of the ALLL is prepared quarterly by the Finance Department. The Company's Credit Committee, Risk and Compliance Committee, Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors review the allowance for adequacy.
The Company's ALLL has two basic components:  the formula allowance and the specific allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates and judgments.
The formula allowance uses historical loss experience as an indicator of future losses, along with various qualitative factors, including levels and trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs and recoveries, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in underwriting standards, experience of lending staff, economic conditions, portfolio concentrations, regulatory, legal, competition, quality of loan review system, and value of underlying collateral. In the formula allowance for commercial and commercial real estate loans, the historical loss rate is combined with the qualitative factors, resulting in an adjusted loss factor for each risk-grade category of loans. The period-end balances for each loan risk-grade category are multiplied by the adjusted loss factor. Allowance calculations for residential real estate and consumer loans are calculated based on historical losses for each product category without regard to risk grade. This loss rate is combined with qualitative factors resulting in an adjusted loss factor for each product category.
The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss for specifically identified impaired loans. These include:
The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.  The effective interest rate on a loan is the rate of return implicit in the loan (that is, the contractual interest rate adjusted for any net deferred loan fees or costs and any premium or discount existing at the origination or acquisition of the loan);
The loan's observable market price, or
The fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs to dispose, if the loan is collateral dependent.
The use of these computed values is inherently subjective and actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.
No single statistic, formula, or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance. Management makes subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. For analytical purposes, management allocates a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories and specific loans. However, the entire allowance is used to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including identified and unidentified losses.
The relationships and ratios used in calculating the allowance, including the qualitative factors, may change from period to period as facts and circumstances evolve. Furthermore, management cannot provide assurance that in any particular period the Bank will not have sizable credit losses in relation to the amount reserved. Management may find it necessary to significantly adjust the allowance, considering current factors at the time.

42



Mergers and Acquisitions
Business combinations are accounted for under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date measured at their fair values as of that date. To determine the fair values, the Company will rely on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company will identify the acquirer and the closing date and apply applicable recognition principles and conditions.
Acquisition-related costs are costs the Company incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Some other examples of costs to the Company include systems conversions, integration planning consultants and advertising costs. The Company will account for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities will be recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP. These acquisition-related costs have been and will be included within the consolidated statements of income classified within the noninterest expense caption.
Acquired Loans with Specific Credit-Related Deterioration
Acquired loans with specific credit deterioration are accounted for by the Company in accordance with ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Certain acquired loans, those for which specific credit-related deterioration, since origination, is identified, are recorded at fair value reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. In accounting for acquired impaired loans, such loans are not classified as nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due. They are considered to be accruing because their interest income relates to the accretable yield and not to contractual interest payments.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company performs its annual analysis as of June 30 each fiscal year. Accounting guidance permits preliminary assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether more substantial impairment testing is required. The Company chose to bypass the preliminary assessment and utilized a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. No indicators of impairment were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. "More likely than not" is defined as greater than a 50% chance. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed.
Other-than-temporary Impairment of Securities
Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (1) the Company intends to sell the security or (2) it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Company must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-GAAP Presentations
Non-GAAP presentations are provided because the Company believes these may be valuable to investors. These include (1) the analysis of net interest income presented on a taxable equivalent basis to facilitate performance comparisons among various taxable and tax-exempt assets and (2) the calculation of the efficiency ratio.

43



Internet Access to Corporate Documents
The Company provides access to its Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings through a link on the Investor Relations page of the Company's web site at www.amnb.com. Reports available include annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are filed electronically with the SEC. The information on the Company's website is not incorporated into this report or any other filing the Company makes with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Completed Acquisition
On April 1, 2019, the Company announced the completion of its acquisition of HomeTown. The combination deepens the Company's footprint in the Roanoke, Virginia metropolitan area and creates a presence in the New River Valley with an office in Christiansburg, Virginia. After completion of the merger and with two office consolidations, the Company has eight offices in the combined Roanoke/New River Valley market area. As a result of the merger, the holders of shares of HomeTown common stock received 0.4150 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of HomeTown common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger. Following completion of the merger, HomeTown's subsidiary bank, HomeTown Bank, was merged with and into the Bank.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and other funding sources. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can materially impact net interest income.  The following discussion of net interest income is presented on a taxable equivalent basis to facilitate performance comparisons among various taxable and tax-exempt assets, such as certain state and municipal securities. A tax rate of 21% was used in adjusting interest on tax-exempt assets to a fully taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income divided by average earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the weighted rate earned on average earning assets and the weighted rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.
Three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $5,815,000 or 39.1% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter of 2018. This improvement in net interest income was primarily related to an increase in the average balance of loans for the 2019 quarter compared to the 2018 quarter. Average loan balances for the 2019 quarter were up $491.3 million or 36.9% over the 2018 quarter, primarily due to the HomeTown acquisition in which we acquired $444.3 million in loans on April 1, 2019. Loan yields for the quarter were 40 basis points higher than the 2018 quarter.
For the third quarter of 2019, the Company's yield on interest-earning assets was 4.53%, compared to 4.09% for the third quarter of 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.13% compared to 0.84%, primarily related to a 27 basis point (0.27%) increase in the cost of deposits. The interest rate spread was 3.40% compared to 3.25%. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.75% compared to 3.51%, an increase of 24 basis points (0.24%). The increase in net interest margin was driven by a $514.0 million (30.3%) increase in average earning assets, enhanced by a $144.7 million (34.1%) increase in average noninterest bearing deposits, and partially offset by a $325.0 million (29.0%) increase in average interest bearing deposits.

45



The following presentation is an analysis of net interest income and related yields and rates, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.  Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is only recognized when the loan returns to accrual status or at full payment of principal.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $12,448,000 or 28.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. This improvement in net interest income was primarily related to an increase in the average balance of loans for the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period. Average loan balances for the 2019 period were up $335.2 million or 25.2% over the 2018 period, primarily due to the HomeTown acquisition. Loan yields for the period were 40 basis points higher than the 2018 period.
For the nine months of 2019, the Company's yield on interest-earning assets was 4.45%, compared to 4.03% for the same period of 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.09% compared to 0.77%, primarily related to a 29 basis point (0.29%) increase in the cost of deposits. The interest rate spread was 3.36% compared to 3.26%. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.70% compared to 3.49%, an increase of 21 basis points (0.21%). The increase in net interest margin was driven by a $354.0 million (20.8%) increase in average earning assets, enhanced by a $102.1 million (24.6%) increase in average noninterest bearing deposits, and partially offset by a $207.1 million (18.2%) increase in average interest bearing deposits.

The following presentation is an analysis of net interest income and related yields and rates, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded on a cash basis or when the loan returns to accrual status.

Salaries expense and employee benefits combined increased $3,330,000 in the 2019 period as compared to the 2018 period. Total FTEs were 365 at the end of the 2019 period, up from 316 at the end of the 2018 period, for an increase of 49 FTEs due to the HomeTown acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $666,000 in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period, primarily due to the HomeTown acquisition. The FDIC assessment expense in the 2019 period

51



was positively impacted by the Small Bank Assessment Credit, which reduced insurance expense $330,000; due to the remaining credit, the Company does not expect an expense in the fourth quarter of 2019 and expects the expense in the first quarter of 2020 to be reduced by approximately $70,000. Core deposit intangible amortization increased $751,000 in the 2019 period compared to the same period in 2018 due to the HomeTown acquisition. Data processing expense increased $529,000 in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period. Merger related expenses, which are related to the HomeTown acquisition and are nonrecurring in nature, totaled $11,332,000 during the 2019 period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense excluding (1) gains or losses on the sale of other real estate owned ("OREO"), (2) core deposit intangible amortization and (3) merger related expense by net interest income including tax equivalent income on nontaxable loans and securities and noninterest income and excluding (a) gains or losses on securities and (b) gains or losses on sale of premises and equipment. The efficiency ratio for the 2019 quarter was 53.79% compared to 59.35% for the 2018 quarter. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. Such information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as such. Management believes, however, such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. The Company, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP. The components of the efficiency ratio calculation are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is nontaxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for both the 2019 and 2018 quarters is 21%.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 21.08% compared to 20.21% for the third quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 20.57% and 19.55%, respectively.
The effective tax rate is ordinarily lower than the statutory rate of 21% due to the benefit of tax-exempt interest and excess tax benefits recognized on the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.
Fair Value Impact to Pretax Income
The following table presents the impact for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 of the accretable and amortizable fair value adjustments attributable to the July 2011 acquisition of MidCarolina Financial Corporation ("MidCarolina"), the January 2015 acquisition of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. ("MainStreet"), and the April 2019 acquisition of HomeTown on net interest income and pretax income (dollars in thousands):

The HomeTown acquisition was effective April 1, 2019. The impact for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 related to the HomeTown merger on net interest income was $764,000 and on income before taxes was $371,000. The impact for the

53



nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the HomeTown merger on net interest income was $1,648,000 and on income before taxes was $852,000.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company received $148,000 in cash basis accretion income related to the early payoff of several acquired loans, compared to $59,000 for the comparable quarter of 2018. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, cash basis accretion income was $544,000, compared to $545,000 for the same period in 2018.

The MidCarolina acquisition was effective July 1, 2011 and the MainStreet acquisition was effective January 1, 2015. Management expects that the acquisition accounting financial impact of these mergers will continue to decline in future quarters.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. The most significant effect of inflation is on noninterest expense, which tends to rise during periods of inflation. Changes in interest rates have a greater impact on a financial institution's profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services.  Through its balance sheet management practices, the Company has the ability to react to those changes and measure and monitor its interest rate and liquidity risk. Price inflation has been consistently modest over the past several years.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Securities
The securities portfolio generates income, plays a major role in the management of interest rate sensitivity, provides a source of liquidity, and is used to meet collateral requirements. The securities portfolio consists primarily of high credit quality investments, mostly federal agency, mortgage-backed, and state and municipal securities.
The available for sale securities portfolio was $308,490,000 at September 30, 2019, compared to $332,653,000 at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $24,163,000 or 7.3%. At September 30, 2019, the available for sale portfolio had an amortized cost of $304,242,000 resulting in a net unrealized gain of $4,248,000. At December 31, 2018, the available for sale portfolio had an amortized cost of $337,774,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $5,121,000. The Company recognized a $333,000 change in the fair value of equity securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $312,000 change in the fair value of equity securities.
The Company is cognizant of the continuing historically low and currently decreasing rate environment and has elected to execute an asset liability strategy of purchasing high quality taxable securities of somewhat greater duration and average life than previously held. The objective is to improve yield and duration on the portfolio in advance of any major market moves. During 2019, indications are that market rates have peaked and the yield curve has flattened.

54



During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold $29,878,000 in par value bonds and realized a net gain of $242,000. This compares to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, when the Company sold $57,607,000 in par value bonds and realized a net gain of $81,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold $445,000 in equity securities at fair value and had no remaining equity securities at September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold $431,000 in equity securities at fair value
The Company manages its investment portfolio on an aggregate portfolio basis for purposes of monitoring and controlling average life and duration. Accordingly, some individual purchases may fall outside these overall guidelines. The Company will continue to purchase high quality, relatively low optionality bonds to the maximum extent practical and prudent, consistent with its liquidity and asset liability strategies, and regulatory requirements.
Loans
The loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial loans to small and medium-sized businesses, construction and land development loans, and home equity loans.
Total loans were $1,804,447,000 at September 30, 2019, compared to $1,357,476,000 at December 31, 2018, an increase of $446,971,000 or 32.9%. Of this increase, $444,324,000 was related to the HomeTown merger and $2,647,000 represents growth throughout the rest of the Company's franchise.
Average loans were $1,821,636,000 for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $1,330,342,000 for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $491,294,000 or 36.9% primarily related to the HomeTown acquisition but also due to organic growth.
Loans held for sale totaled $5,646,000 at September 30, 2019 and $640,000 at December 31, 2018. Loan production volume was $75,756,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and $60,575,000 for the same period of 2018. These loans were approximately 60% purchase and 40% refinancing.
Management of the loan portfolio is organized around portfolio segments. Each segment is comprised of various loan types that are reflective of operational and regulatory reporting requirements. The following table presents the Company's loan portfolio by segment as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses
The Company had a negative provision for loan losses of $6,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to a negative provision of $97,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2018. The negative provision in both periods related to adjustments on the specific reserves for the impaired loan loss allowance. The need for any additional provision in the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was mitigated by continued high asset quality, low charge-offs, and a third quarter $31.8 million decline in loan balances outstanding. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $16,000 compared to a net recovery of $103,000 for the 2018 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net charge-offs were $41,000 compared to a net recovery of $82,000 for the 2018 period.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The purpose of the ALLL is to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Loan charge-offs decrease the allowance.
At September 30, 2019, the ALLL was $12,758,000, compared to $12,805,000 at December 31, 2018. The ALLL as a percentage of total loans at such dates was 0.71% and 0.94%, respectively. The primary reason for the large change in this ratio was the acquisition of $444.3 million in loans related to the April 2019 HomeTown acquisition. These loans do not have an

55



ALLL at acquisition date. However, as part of the merger valuation process they were given a credit mark of $10.7 million and a liquidity and interest rate mark of $4.0 million.
As part of the Company's methodology to evaluate the adequacy of its ALLL, the Company computed its ASC 450 loan balance by reducing total loans by acquired loans and loans that were evaluated for impairment individually. The FASB ASC 450 loan loss reserve balance is the total ALLL reduced by allowances associated with these other pools of loans.
The general allowance, ASC 450 (FAS 5) reserves to FASB ASC 450 loans, was 0.91% at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.97% at December 31, 2018. On a dollar basis, the reserve was $12,508,000 at September 30, 2019, compared to $12,560,000 at December 31, 2018. This segment of the allowance represents by far the largest portion of the loan portfolio and the largest aggregate risk.
The specific allowance, ASC 310-40 (FAS 114) reserves to FASB ASC 310-40 loans, was 4.60% at September 30, 2019, compared to 4.78% at December 31, 2018. On a dollar basis, the reserve was $74,000 at September 30, 2019, compared to $64,000 at December 31, 2018. There is ongoing turnover in the composition of the impaired loan population, which increased by a net $281,000 over December 31, 2018.
The specific allowance does not include reserves related to acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality. This reserve was $176,000 at September 30, 2019 compared to $181,000 at December 31, 2018. This is the only portion of the reserve related to acquired impaired loans. Cash flow expectations for these loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis and unfavorable changes in those estimates relative to the initial estimates can result in the need for additional loan loss provision.

Nonperforming Assets (Loans and Other Real Estate Owned)
Nonperforming loans include loans on which interest is no longer accrued and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming loans include loans originated and loans acquired.
Nonperforming loans to total loans were 0.13% at September 30, 2019 and 0.09% at December 31, 2018.
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and OREO. Nonperforming assets represented 0.15% and 0.11% of total assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 
In most cases, it is the policy of the Company that any loan that becomes 90 days past due will automatically be placed on nonaccrual loan status, accrued interest reversed out of income, and further interest accrual ceased. Any payments received on such loans will be credited to principal. In some cases a loan in process of renewal may become 90 days past due. In these instances the loan may still be accruing because of a delayed renewal process in which the customer has not been billed. In accounting for acquired impaired loans, such loans are not classified as nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due. They are considered to be accruing because their interest income relates to the accretable yield and not to contractual interest payments.
Loans will only be restored to full accrual status after six consecutive months of payments that were each less than 30 days delinquent. The Company strictly adheres with this policy before restoring a loan to normal accrual status.

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The following table shows loans that were considered impaired, exclusive of acquired impaired loans, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")
TDRs exist whenever the Company makes a concession to a customer based on the customer's financial distress that would not have otherwise been made in the normal course of business.
There were $1,093,000 in TDRs at September 30, 2019 compared to $1,090,000 at December 31, 2018. These loans are included in the impaired loan table above.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned was $1,353,000 and $869,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. OREO is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Loan losses resulting from foreclosure are charged against the ALLL at that time. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value, less estimated costs to sell with any additional write-downs charged against earnings. For significant assets, these valuations are typically outside annual appraisals. The following table shows the Company's OREO as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Deposits
The Company's deposits consist primarily of checking, money market, savings, and consumer and commercial time deposits. Total deposits were $2,041,862,000 at September 30, 2019 compared to $1,566,227,000 at December 31, 2018, an increase of $475,635,000 or 30.4%. This increase resulted from, $483,626,000 of deposits acquired in the HomeTown merger, and a $7,991,000 deposit reduction throughout the franchise.
Average interest bearing deposits were $1,443,947,000 for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $1,118,929,000 for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $325,018,000 or 29.0%. This increase is attributable to $364,158,000 of deposits acquired in the HomeTown acquisition and a reduction of legacy deposits during the same period. Average noninterest bearing deposits for the 2019 quarter were $568,706,000, compared to $424,016,000 for the 2018 quarter, an increase of $144,690,000 or 34.1%. Of this increase, $119,468,000 represents deposits acquired in the HomeTown merger.
The Company's primary focus on the liability side of the balance sheet is growing core deposits and their affiliated relationships. The challenge in this changing rate environment is to fund the Bank in a cost effective and competitive manner. The Company's cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2019 was 1.00%, up from 0.73% for the third quarter of 2018.
Subordinated Debt
The Company had $7,521,000 in subordinated notes, acquired in the HomeTown merger, outstanding at September 30, 2019. These notes accrue at 6.75% until December 30, 2020. Thereafter, the notes will have a floating interest rate based on LIBOR.

58



Junior Subordinated Debt
The Company had three junior subordinated notes in the amounts of $20,619,000, $4,419,000, and $2,965,000 outstanding at September 30, 2019. These notes accrue at 1.35%, 3.45%, and 2.95%, respectively, above the 90-day LIBOR rate, adjusted quarterly. To add stability to net interest income and manage exposure to interest rate movement, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps in June 2018 on these notes. The swap contracts involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for receipt of variable rate payments over the ten year life of the contracts. The effective interest rates on the swapped notes were 4.33%, 6.44%, and 5.93%, respectively at September 30, 2019.
Shareholders' Equity
The Company's capital management strategy is to be classified as "well capitalized" under regulatory capital ratios and provide as high as possible total return to shareholders.
Shareholders' equity was $317,246,000 at September 30, 2019 compared to $222,542,000 at December 31, 2018, an increase of $94,704,000 or 42.6%. Of this increase, $83,250,000 is attributable to the HomeTown merger.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.77 per share during the nine months of 2019 while the aggregate basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period was $1.38.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to the Basel III Capital Rules. The Basel III Capital Rules require the Company and the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7%), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5%), and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing by the same amount each year until it was fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. In addition, to be well capitalized under the "prompt corrective action" regulations pursuant to Section 38 of the FDIA, the Bank must have the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 8.0%; (iii) a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 10.0%; and (iv) a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%.
The following table provides information on the regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Management believes, as of September 30, 2019, that the Company and the Bank more than satisfy all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Stock Repurchase Program
On January 19, 2018, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC to announce the approval by its Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program. The plan authorizes the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of the Company's common shares over a two year period.
In the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 32,165 shares at an average cost of $35.38 per share, for a total cost of $1,138,000. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities in a timely manner.  Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company's ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are borrowers requiring funds or depositors desiring to withdraw funds. Additionally, the Company requires cash for various operating needs including dividends to shareholders, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies approved by the Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") and Board of Directors, both of which receive periodic reports of the Company's interest rate risk and liquidity position. The Company uses a computer simulation model to assist in the management of the future liquidity needs of the Company. 
Liquidity sources include on balance sheet and off balance sheet sources.
Balance sheet liquidity sources include cash, amounts due from banks, loan repayments, and increases in deposits. The Company also maintains a large, high quality, very liquid bond portfolio, which is generally 50% to 60% unpledged and would, accordingly, be available for sale if necessary.     
Off balance sheet sources include lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), federal funds lines of credit, and access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window. 
The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB, equal to 30% of the Bank's assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged. Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Company pledges as collateral its capital stock in and deposits with the FHLB. The Company had $190,000,000 outstanding in letters of credit at September 30, 2019 and $190,250,000 outstanding at December 31, 2018. $190,000,000 of these letters of credit provide the Bank with alternate collateral for securing public entity deposits above FDIC insurance levels, thereby providing less need for collateral pledging from the securities portfolio, and thereby maximizing on balance sheet liquidity.
Short-term borrowings are discussed in Note 8 and long-term borrowings are discussed in Note 9 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
The Company has federal funds lines of credit established with one correspondent bank in the amount of $15,000,000 and another correspondent bank in the amount of $10,000,000, and has access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window. 
The Company has a relationship with Promontory Network, the sponsoring entity for the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® ("CDARS"). Through CDARS, the Company is able to provide deposit customers with access to aggregate FDIC insurance in amounts exceeding $250,000. This gives the Company the ability, as and when needed, to attract and retain large deposits from insurance conscious customers. With CDARS, the Company has the option to keep deposits on balance sheet or sell them to other members of the network. Additionally, subject to certain limits, the Bank can use CDARS to purchase cost-effective funding without collateralization and in lieu of generating funds through traditional brokered CDs or the FHLB. In this manner, CDARS can provide the Company with another funding option. Thus, CDARS serves as a deposit-gathering tool and an additional liquidity management tool. Under the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act signed into law on May 24, 2018, a well-capitalized bank with a CAMELS rating of 1 or 2 may hold reciprocal deposits up to the lesser of 20 percent of its total liabilities or $5 billion without those deposits being treated as brokered deposits. Deposits through the CDARS program as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were $16,616,000 and $22,431,000, respectively.
Management believes that these sources provide sufficient and timely liquidity, both on and off the balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities
The Company enters into certain financial transactions in the ordinary course of performing traditional banking services that result in off-balance sheet transactions. Other than subsidiaries to issue trust preferred securities, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet subsidiaries. Off-balance sheet transactions at September 30, 2019 and at December 31, 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
 
September 30, 2019
 
December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit
$
526,311

362,586

Standby letters of credit
11,395

 
15,555

Mortgage loan rate-lock commitments
17,617

 
9,710

Commitments to extend credit to customers represent legally binding agreements with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. The increase in commitments from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to the HomeTown merger. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Management
Effectively managing market risk is essential to achieving the Company's financial objectives. Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from changes in interest rates and market prices. The Company is generally not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk; however, market risk also includes liquidity risk.  Both are discussed in the following sections.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk and its impact on net interest income is a primary market risk exposure. The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies approved by the ALCO and Board of Directors, both of which receive and review periodic reports of the Company's interest rate risk position.
The Company uses computer simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. Simulation takes into account current balance sheet volumes and the scheduled repricing dates instrument level optionality, and maturities of assets and liabilities. It incorporates numerous assumptions including growth, changes in the mix of assets and liabilities, prepayments, and average rates earned and paid. Based on this information, management uses the model to project net interest income under multiple interest rate scenarios.
A balance sheet is considered asset sensitive when its earning assets (loans and securities) reprice faster or to a greater extent than its liabilities (deposits and borrowings). An asset sensitive balance sheet will produce relatively more net interest income when interest rates rise and less net interest income when they decline. Based on the Company's simulation analysis, management believes the Company's interest sensitivity position at September 30, 2019 is asset sensitive. Management expects that the general direction of market interest rates will be decreasing the remainder of 2019.

Earnings Simulation
The following table shows the estimated impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income as of September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands), assuming gradual and parallel changes in interest rates, and consistent levels of assets and liabilities. Net interest income for the following twelve months is projected to increase when interest rates are higher than current rates.

Management cannot predict future interest rates or their exact effect on net interest income. Computations of future effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Certain limitations are inherent in such computations. Assets and liabilities may react differently than projected to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag changes in market interest rates. Interest rate shifts may not be parallel.
Changes in interest rates can cause substantial changes in the amount of prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, which may in turn affect the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. Additionally, credit risk may rise if an interest rate increase adversely affects the ability of borrowers to service their debt.
Economic Value Simulation
Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet.
The following table reflects the estimated change in net economic value over different rate environments using economic value simulation for the balances at the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):
