CAMBRIDGE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cambridge Bancorp (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cambridge Trust Company (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Cambridge Trust Company of New Hampshire Inc., CTC Security Corporation, and CTC Security Corporation III. References to the Company herein relate to the consolidated group of companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is a state-chartered, federally registered bank holding company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was incorporated in 1983. The Company is the sole shareholder of the Bank, a Massachusetts trust company chartered in 1890, which is a commercial bank. We are a private bank offering a full range of private banking and wealth management services to our clients. The private banking business, the Company’s only reportable operating segment is managed as a single strategic unit.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses, the fair values of financial instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets are particularly subject to change.
3. |
Subsequent Events |
Optima Merger. The Company completed its merger with Optima Bank & Trust Company (“Optima”) on April 17, 2019. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), each outstanding share of Optima common stock was converted into $32.00 in cash or 0.3468 shares of the Company’s common stock, with the transaction structured as 95 percent common stock and 5 percent cash. As a result of the merger, former Optima shareholders received an aggregate of approximately 722,746 shares of the Company’s common stock and an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million in cash.
Management has reviewed events occurring through May 9, 2019, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that no other subsequent events occurred requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance |
Accounting Standards Update 2018-16 - Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2018-16”). On October 25, 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-16 to introduce OIS Rate based on the SOFR as an acceptable US benchmark interest for the purpose of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 because the Company has already adopted ASU 2017-12. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019, and the update did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Update 2018-15 - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows.
6
Accounting Standards Update 2018-14 - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued guidance to remove, add, and clarify certain disclosures for defined benefit plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted and should be applied using the retrospective method to all periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued guidance to remove, add, and clarify certain disclosures for fair value measurement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted and should be applied using either retrospective method or the prospective method as specified in the ASU. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update 2018-07 - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 to align the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The new guidance also clarifies that any share-based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Currently, the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments differs from that applied to employee awards, particularly with regard to the measurement date and the impact of performance conditions. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with certain exceptions. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. The ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows.
Accounting Standard Update No. 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued a new standard that allows companies to better align their hedge accounting and risk management activities. The new standard will also reduce the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting. The standard requires companies to change the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedge accounting by:
|
• |
eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and |
|
• |
requiring companies to present all of the elements of hedge accounting that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. |
The standard also permits hedge accounting for strategies for which hedge accounting was not historically permitted and includes new alternatives for measuring the hedged item for fair value hedges of interest rate risk. Furthermore, the standard eases the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation, applying the critical terms match method, and introduces new alternatives that will permit companies to reduce the risk of material error corrections if they misapply the shortcut method. The new accounting standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. The Company early adopted the standard during the fourth quarter of 2018, using a modified retrospective transition method, and it did not have an effect on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which will significantly change how entities measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. Under this standard, the new current expected credit loss model will require entities to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets that are in the scope of the standard. This new guidance also made targeted amendments to the current impairment model for available for sale debt securities. This guidance will be effective for the Company for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, and cash flows. We have developed an implementation plan which includes assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation, model development, system requirements, and the identification of data and resource needs to implement this standard.
7
Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 - Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of condition and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In particular, this guidance requires a lessee of operating or finance leases to recognize on the statement of condition a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. However, for leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Under previous GAAP, a lessee was not required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases on the statement of condition. The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Also in July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), to allow an optional transition method in which the provisions of Topic 842 would be applied upon the adoption date and would not have to be retroactively applied to the earliest reporting period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Using the optional transition method discussed above, the Company adopted the new lease guidance on January 1, 2019 and recorded a right-of-use asset of $32.9 million and a corresponding net lease liability.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance supersedes current U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the current revenue standards. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams, such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees, are also not in scope of the new guidance.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant income. The Company completed its overall assessment of revenue streams and review of related contracts potentially affected by the ASU, including trust and asset management fees, deposit related fees, and other income within noninterest income. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of the new guidance, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Noninterest income considered in-scope of Topic 606 is discussed below.
Wealth management and trust fees
The Company earns wealth management fees for providing investment management, trust administration, and financial planning services to clients. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time as the wealth management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based on the average monthly value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate, or at a fixed annual rate, depending on the terms of the contract. No performance-based incentives are earned on wealth management contracts.
The Company earns trust fees for serving as trustee for certain clients. As trustee, the Company serves as a fiduciary, administers the client’s trust and, in some cases, manages the assets of the trust. The Company’s performance obligation under these agreements is satisfied over time as the administration and management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based on a percentage of the market value of the account, or at a fixed annual rate, as outlined in the agreement. The Company also earns fees for trust related activities. The Company’s performance obligation under these agreements is satisfied at a point in time and recognized when these services have been performed.
All of the wealth management and trust fee income on the consolidated statement of income is considered in-scope of Topic 606.
Other banking fee income
The Company charges a variety of fees to its clients for services provided on the deposit and deposit management related accounts. Each fee is either transaction-based or assessed monthly. The types of fees include service charges on accounts, overdraft fees, wire transfer fees, maintenance fees, ATM fee charges, and other miscellaneous charges related to the accounts. These fees are not governed by individual contracts with clients. They are charges to clients based on disclosures presented to clients upon opening these accounts along with updated disclosures when changes are made to the fee structures. The transaction-based fees are recognized in revenue when charged to the client based on specific activity on the client’s account. Monthly service and maintenance charges are recognized in the month they are earned and are charged directly to the client’s account.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively. Of this amount, $12.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively, were maintained to satisfy the reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (“FRB Boston”). Additionally, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company pledged $500,000 to the New Hampshire Banking Department relating to Cambridge Trust Company of New Hampshire, Inc.’s operations in that state.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently, when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
As of March 31, 2019, 104 debt securities had gross unrealized losses, with an aggregate depreciation of 1.45% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The largest unrealized loss percentage of any single security was 4.22%, or $70,000 of its amortized cost. The largest unrealized dollar loss of any single security was $127,000, or 3.73% of its amortized cost.
As of December 31, 2018, 142 debt securities had gross unrealized losses, with an aggregate depreciation of 2.05% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The largest unrealized loss percentage of any single security was 9.79%, or $98,000, of its amortized cost. The largest unrealized dollar loss of any single security was $189,000, or 5.34%, of its amortized cost.
The Company believes that the nature and duration of impairment on its debt security positions are primarily a function of interest rate movements and changes in investment spreads and does not consider full repayment of principal on the reported debt obligations to be at risk. Since nearly all of these securities are rated “investment grade” and (a) the Company does not intend to sell these securities before recovery and (b) that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities, aggregated by the earlier of guaranteed call date or contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities do not take into consideration scheduled amortization or prepayments. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES |
The Company’s lending activities are conducted primarily in Eastern Massachusetts. The Company grants single- and multi-family residential loans, commercial & industrial (“C&I”), commercial real estate (“CRE”), construction loans, and a variety of consumer loans. Most of the loans granted by the Company are secured by real estate collateral. Repayment of the Company’s residential loans are generally dependent on the health of the employment market in the borrowers’ geographic areas and that of the general economy with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral being typically viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. The repayment of C&I loans depends primarily on the cash flow and credit worthiness of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. As borrower cash flow may be difficult to predict, liquidation of the underlying collateral securing these loans is typically viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. However, collateral typically consists of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other business assets that may fluctuate in value, so the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment. The Company’s CRE loans are primarily made based on the cash flow from the collateral property and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower, with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral typically being viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. The Company’s construction loans are primarily made based on the borrower’s expected ability to execute and the future completed value of the collateral property, with sale of the underlying real estate collateral typically being viewed as the primary source of repayment.

Directors and officers of the Company and their associates are customers of, and have other transactions with, the Company in the normal course of business. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total loans outstanding to such directors and officers were $453,000 and $488,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $37,000 of additions and $72,000 of repayments were made to these loans. There were $139,000 of additions and $167,000 of repayments during the year ended December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of the loans to directors and officers were performing according to their original terms.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
Loans are considered restructured in a troubled debt restructuring when the Company has granted concessions to a borrower due to the borrower’s financial condition that it otherwise would not have considered. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. Debt may be bifurcated with separate terms for each tranche of the restructured debt. Restructuring a loan in lieu of aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan may benefit the Company by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.
Restructured loans are classified as accruing or non-accruing based on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan. Loans which are already on nonaccrual status at the time of the restructuring generally remain on nonaccrual status for approximately six months or longer before management considers such loans for return to accruing status. Accruing restructured loans are placed into nonaccrual status if and when the borrower fails to comply with the restructured terms and management deems it unlikely that the borrower will return to a status of compliance in the near term.
Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. The Company identifies loss allocations for impaired loans on an individual loan basis.
There were no new TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, two loans were determined to be TDRs with a total carrying value of $108,000. One TDR loan was paid off during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. There were no TDR defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
There were no new TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, three loans were determined to be TDRs with a total carrying value of $117,000. There were no TDR defaults during the year ended December 31, 2018.
There were no specific allowances for TDRs at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were restructured.

With respect to residential real estate mortgages, home equity, and consumer loans, the Bank utilizes the following categories as indicators of credit quality:
|
• |
Performing – These loans are accruing and are considered having low to moderate risk. |
|
• |
Non-performing – These loans have are on non-accrual, or are past due more than 90 days but are still accruing, or are restructured. These loans may contain greater than average risk. |
With respect to commercial real estate mortgages and commercial loans, the Bank utilizes a 10 grade internal loan rating system as an indicator of credit quality. The grades are as follows:
|
• |
Loans rated 1-6 (Pass) – These loans are considered “pass” rated with low to moderate risk. |
|
• |
Loans rated 7 (Special Mention) – These loans have potential weaknesses warranting close attention, which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the credit at some future date. |
|
• |
Loans rated 8 (Substandard) – These loans have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt under the original loan terms. Loss potential exists but is not identifiable in any one customer. |
14
|
• |
Loans rated 9 (Doubtful) – These loans have pronounced weaknesses that make full collection highly questionable and improbable. |
|
• |
Loans rated 10 (Loss) – These loans are considered uncollectible and continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. |
Delinquencies
The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. Loan delinquencies can be attributed to many factors, such as but not limited to, a continuing weakness in, or deteriorating, economic conditions in the region in which the collateral is located, the loss of a tenant or lower lease rates for commercial borrowers, or the loss of income for consumers and the resulting liquidity impacts on the borrowers.

As of March 31, 2019, there were no loans in process of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2018, one loan secured by one- to four-family residential property with a carrying value of $351,000 was in process of foreclosure.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. The recorded investment in impaired loans consists of unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs, interest payments received applied to principal, and unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount determined by management on the basis of the character of the loans, loan performance, financial condition of borrowers, the value of collateral securing loans, and other relevant factors. We provide for loan losses based upon the consistent application of our documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio, including a review of our classified assets, and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of two components:
|
1. |
Specific allowances established for impaired loans, as defined by GAAP. The amount of impairment provided for as a specific allowance is measured based on the deficiency, if any, between the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate at the time of impairment or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent, and the carrying value of the loan; and |
|
2. |
General allowances established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired loans. The portfolio is grouped into homogenous pools by similar risk characteristics, primarily by loan type and regulatory classification. We apply an estimated incurred loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon our historical loss experience over a designated look back period adjusted, as appropriate, for the quantitative, qualitative, and environmental factors discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. |
Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.
The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on our evaluation of several quantitative, qualitative, and environmental factors, including:
|
• |
the loss emergence period, which represents the average amount of time between when loss events occur for specific loan types and when such problem loans are identified and the related loss amounts are confirmed through charge-offs; |
|
• |
changes in any concentration of credit (including, but not limited to, concentrations by geography, industry, or collateral type); |
|
• |
changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans and past due loans; |
|
• |
changes in national, state, and local economic trends; |
|
• |
changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio; |
|
• |
changes in the experience and ability of personnel; |
|
• |
changes in lending strategies; and |
|
• |
changes in lending policies and procedures. |
In addition, we may establish an unallocated allowance to provide for probable losses that have been incurred as of the reporting date but are not reflected in the allocated allowance.
We evaluate the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific and general components. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan losses methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease. Periodically, management conducts an analysis to estimate the loss emergence period for various loan categories based on samples of historical charge-offs. Model output by loan category is reviewed to evaluate the reasonableness of the reserve levels in comparison to the estimated loss emergence period applied to historical loss experience.
We evaluate the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company made no contributions to the qualified defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We do not expect to make any contributions to the qualified defined benefit plan during the remainder of 2019.
Employee Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a Profit Sharing Plan (“PSP”) that provides for deferral of federal and state income taxes on employee contributions allowed under Section 401(k) of federal law. Beginning in 2018, the Company matched employee contributions up to 100% of the first 4% of each participant’s salary, eligible bonus, and eligible incentive, up from 3% in 2017. Employees are eligible to participate in the PSP on the first day of their initial date of service. Each year, the Company may also make a discretionary contribution to the PSP. In 2018, employees were eligible to participate in the discretionary contribution portion of the PSP after completing 12 months of employment and 1,000 hours of service. The employee must be employed on the last day of the calendar year or retire at the normal retirement age of 65 during the calendar year to receive the discretionary contribution. Effective in 2019, employees are eligible to participate in the discretionary contribution portion of the PSP on the first day of their initial date of service.
19
The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for its eligible employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the ESOP on January 1 or July 1 following the completion of 12 months of service consisting of at least 1,000 hours and upon the attainment of age 21. Purchases of the Company’s stock by the ESOP will be funded by employer contributions or reinvestment of cash dividends.
Total expenses related to the PSP and ESOP for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 amounted to approximately $586,000 and $823,000, respectively.
Defined Contribution SERP Plan
For executives participating in the Defined Contribution SERP Plan (“DC SERP”), the Company made a discretionary contribution of 10% of each executive’s base salary and bonus to his or her account under the Company’s DC SERP, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Total expenses related to the DC SERP for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 amounted to approximately $43,000 and $50,000, respectively.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
Time Vested Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and Time Vested Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued the following RSAs and RSUs from the 2017 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan. The fair value of RSAs and RSUs is based upon the Company’s common stock closing share price on the date of the grant. The holders of RSAs participate fully in the rewards of stock ownership of the Company, including voting and dividend rights.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk |
To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments are primarily comprised of commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell residential mortgage loans, derivatives contracts, risk participation agreements, and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments assuming that the amounts are fully advanced and that collateral, or other security, is of no value. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments with contractual amounts that present credit risk include the following:

LEASES |
The Company is obligated under various lease agreements covering its main office, branch offices, and other locations. These agreements are accounted for as operating leases and their terms expire between 2019 and 2030 and, in some instances, contain options to renew for periods up to 25 years.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 - Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and began recognizing its operating leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability, representing the Company’s legal obligation to make lease payments, and a Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) Asset, representing the Company’s legal right to use the leased office space and banking centers. The Company, by policy, does not include renewal options for leases as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities unless they are deemed reasonably certain to exercise. The Company does not have any material sub-lease agreements.
The following table summarizes information related to the Company’s right-of-use asset and net lease liability:

Operating lease expenses are comprised of operating lease costs and variable lease costs, net of sublease income. The pattern and measurement of expense recognition of these costs were not significantly impacted by ASU 2016-02 and subsequent ASUs issued to amend this Topic.
Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or a rate, or changes in variable payments based on an index or rate after the commencement date, are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability, are recognized in the period incurred and included within variable lease costs below.
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether a contract, or a part of a contract, conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The discount rate is determined as either the rate implicit in the lease or when a rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

Several of the Company’s lease agreements contain clauses calling for escalation of minimum lease payments contingent on increases in real estate taxes, gross income adjustments, percentage increases in the consumer price index, and certain ancillary maintenance costs. Total rental expense was $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
Under the terms of a sublease agreement, the Company will receive minimum annual rental payments of approximately $32,000 through July 31, 2019. Total rental income was $16,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank met all applicable minimum capital requirements and were considered “well-capitalized” by both the FRB and the FDIC.

Derivative AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps and floors to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk and to facilitate the needs of our customers. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts principally related to the Company’s assets.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate floors to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in interest income. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on the Company’s variable-rate assets.
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. For the Company’s customers, these are interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements.
25
Interest Rate Swaps. The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to help commercial loan borrowers manage their interest rate risk. The interest rate swap contracts with commercial loan borrowers allow them to convert floating-rate loan payments to fixed rate loan payments. When the Bank enters into an interest rate swap contract with a commercial loan borrower, it simultaneously enters into a “mirror” swap contract with a third party. The third party exchanges the client’s fixed-rate loan payments for floating-rate loan payments. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Because these derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset each other through earnings. Fees earned in connection with the execution of derivatives related to this program are recognized in earnings through other loan related derivative income.
The credit risk associated with swap transactions is the risk of default by the counterparty. To minimize this risk, the Company enters into interest rate agreements only with highly rated counterparties that management believes to be creditworthy. The notional amounts of these agreements do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the potential loss exposure.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company enters into risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) with other banks participating in commercial loan arrangements. Participating banks guarantee the performance on borrower-related interest rate swap contracts. RPAs are derivative financial instruments and are recorded at fair value. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings with a corresponding offset within other assets or other liabilities.
Under a risk participation-out agreement, a derivative asset, the Company participates out a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position executed with the commercial borrower, for a fee paid to the participating bank. Under a risk participation-in agreement, a derivative liability, the Company assumes, or participates in, a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position with the commercial borrower for a fee received from the other bank.
The following tables present the notional amount, the location, and fair values of derivative instruments in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote.
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, the Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well- capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
As of March 31, 2019, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $4.4 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $3.9 million. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2019, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $4.4 million.
Balance Sheet Offsetting
Certain financial instruments may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with institutional counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Generally, the Company does not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820, among other things, emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In addition, ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the types of valuation information (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
|
• |
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
• |
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. |
|
• |
Level 3 – Valuations derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in the markets and which reflect the Company’s market assumptions. |
Under ASC 820, fair values are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques, such as matrix pricing or other models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates. If observable market-based inputs are not available, the Company uses unobservable inputs to determine appropriate valuation adjustments using methodologies applied consistently over time.
Valuation techniques based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters, such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that may appropriately reflect market and credit risks.
Changes in these judgments often have a material impact on the fair value estimates. In addition, since these estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. The fair values disclosed do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering significant holdings of financial instruments at bulk sale, nor do they reflect the possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale, derivative instruments, and hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent impaired loans.
In accordance with the requirements of ASU 2016-01, the Company uses an exit price notion for its fair value disclosures as of March 31, 2019.
The following tables summarize certain assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis:

There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018.
There were no transfers between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The following is a description of the principal valuation methodologies used by the Company to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments.
Investment Securities
For investment securities, fair values are primarily based upon valuations obtained from a national pricing service which uses matrix pricing with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When available, quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are utilized.
Loans Held for Sale
For loans held for sale, fair values are estimated using projected future cash flows, discounted at rates based upon either trades of similar loans or mortgage-backed securities, or at current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar remaining maturities.
Loans
For most categories of loans, fair values are estimated using projected future cash flows, discounted at rates based upon current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings, and for similar remaining maturities. Projected estimated cash flows are adjusted for prepayment assumptions, liquidity premium assumptions, and credit loss assumptions. Loans that are deemed to be impaired in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables,” are valued based upon the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral.
FHLB of Boston Stock
The fair value of FHLB of Boston stock equals its carrying value since such stock is only redeemable at its par value.
Deposits
The fair value of non-maturity deposit accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. This amount does not take into account the value of the Bank’s long-term relationships with core depositors. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a replacement cost of funds approach and is based upon rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
31
For long-term borrowings, fair values are estimated using future cash flows, discounted at rates based upon current costs for debt securities with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, and short-term borrowings have fair values which approximate their respective carrying values because these instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.
Derivative Instruments and Hedges
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Bank incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Bank has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
In the course of originating loans and extending credit, the Bank will charge fees in exchange for its commitment. While these commitment fees have value, the Bank has not estimated their value due to the short-term nature of the underlying commitments and their immateriality.
Values Not Determined
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has not estimated fair values for non-financial assets such as banking premises and equipment, goodwill, the intangible value of the Bank’s portfolio of loans serviced for itself, and the intangible value inherent in the Bank’s deposit relationships (i.e., core deposits), among others. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

OVERVIEW
Cambridge Bancorp (together with its bank subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a Massachusetts state-chartered, federally registered bank holding company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Company is a Massachusetts corporation formed in 1983 and has one bank subsidiary: Cambridge Trust Company (the “Bank”), formed in 1890. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had total assets of approximately $2.1 billion. The Bank operates 10 full-service banking offices in six cities and towns in Eastern Massachusetts and Southeastern New Hampshire. As a Private Bank, we focus on four core services that center around client needs. Our core services include Wealth Management, Commercial Banking, Residential Lending, and Personal Banking. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses in these communities and surrounding areas throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Company’s Wealth Management Group has five offices, two in Boston, Massachusetts and three in New Hampshire in Concord, Manchester, and Portsmouth. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had Assets under Management and Administration of approximately $3.1 billion. The Wealth Management Group offers comprehensive investment management, as well as trust administration, estate settlement, and financial planning services. Our wealth management clients value personal service and depend on the commitment and expertise of our experienced banking, investment, and fiduciary professionals.
The Wealth Management Group customizes its investment portfolios to help its clients meet their long-term financial goals while moderating short-term stock market volatility. Through careful monitoring of asset allocation and disciplined security selection, the Bank’s in-house investment team provides clients with long-term capital growth while minimizing risk. Our internally developed, research-driven process is managed by our team of portfolio managers and analysts. We build discretionary portfolios consisting of our best investment ideas, focusing on individual global equities, fixed income securities, exchange-traded funds, and mutual funds. Our team-oriented approach fosters spirited discussion and rigorous evaluation of investments.
The Company offers a wide range of services to commercial enterprises, non-profit organizations, and individuals. The Company emphasizes service to consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses in its market area. The Company makes commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, consumer loans, and real estate loans (including one-to-four family and home equity lines of credit), and accepts savings, time, and demand deposits. In addition, the Company offers a wide range of commercial and personal banking services which include cash management, online banking, mobile banking, and global payments. The Company has one trademark, “Thought Series.”
The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings, and non-interest income largely from its wealth management services. The results of operations are affected by the level of income and fees from loans, deposits, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes, the relative levels of interest rates, and local and national economic activity.
Through the Bank, the Company focuses on wealth management, the commercial banking business, and private banking for clients, including residential lending and personal banking. Within the commercial loan portfolio, the Company has traditionally been a commercial real estate lender and in recent years has diversified commercial operations within the areas of commercial and industrial lending to include Innovation Banking, which specializes in working with New England-based entrepreneurs, and asset based lending that helps companies throughout New England and New York grow by borrowing against existing assets. The Innovation Banking group has a narrow client focus for lending and provides a local banking option for technology and entrepreneurial companies within our market area that are primarily serviced by out-of-market institutions. Personal banking focuses on providing exceptional service to clients and in deepening relationships.

Merger with Optima Bank & Trust Company
In the fourth quarter of 2018, Cambridge Bancorp, Cambridge Trust Company, and Optima Bank & Trust Company (“Optima”) entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed that Optima would merge with and into Cambridge Trust Company in a stock and cash transaction (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), each outstanding share of Optima common stock was converted into the right to receive $32.00 in cash or 0.3468 shares of the Company’s common stock, with the transaction structured as 95 percent common stock and 5 percent cash.
The Company completed the Merger on April 17, 2019, effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The addition of Optima’s six banking offices brings our total full service banking office count to sixteen and allows us to offer comprehensive private banking and wealth management services in New Hampshire. As a result of the Merger, former Optima shareholders received approximately 722,746 shares of Cambridge Bancorp common stock in the aggregate and an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million in cash.
Critical Accounting Policies

Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018
General. Net income increased $393,000, or 6.8%, to $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net income of $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in net interest and dividend income after the provision for loan losses. This increase was partially offset by a $221,000 decrease in non-interest income, an $872,000 increase in noninterest expense, and higher income tax expense of $124,000. Diluted earnings per share were $1.49 for the first quarter of 2019, representing a 5.7% increase over diluted earnings per share of $1.41 for the same quarter last year.
Excluding merger and acquisition expenses incurred during the quarter related to the Merger, operating net income was $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $480,000, or 8.3%, compared to $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Operating diluted earnings per share were $1.52 for the first quarter of 2019, representing a 7.8% increase over operating diluted earnings per share of $1.41 for the same quarter last year.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income after the provision for loan losses increased by $1.6 million, or 10.9%, to $16.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $14.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to a combination of higher average interest-earning assets and higher yields on these assets. Average interest earning assets increased by $140.9 million, or 7.4%, to $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2019, from $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2018. The Company’s net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased two basis points to 3.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 3.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $3.0 million, or 18.5%, to $19.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $16.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in interest income from loans, and a $215,000 increase in interest on investment securities. These increases were partially offset by a $153,000 decrease in interest on overnight investments.
35
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 191.8%, to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase was driven by a $148.2 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities, which contributed to a 36 basis points increase in the average cost of funds of 0.57% from 0.21%. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in average savings balances of $77.7 million and an increase in average money market accounts of $64.5 million. We experienced an increase in the average cost of savings and money market accounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to March 31, 2018 due to successful savings and money market campaigns, as we strive to attract and deepen client relationships.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company released $93,000 from the allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to a provision for loan losses of $409,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses was due to lower volume and the change in mix of the loan portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. We recorded net charge-off of $23,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net recoveries of $3,000 in 2018. The allowance for loan losses was $16.7 million, or 1.07% of total loans at March 31, 2019, as compared to $15.7 million, or 1.14% of total loans at March 31, 2018.
Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased by $221,000, or 2.7%, to $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to a bank owned life insurance gain recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Noninterest income was 32.9% of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Wealth Management revenue was largely unchanged from $6.1 million and totaled $6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Wealth Management Assets under Management increased by $15.6 million, or 0.5%, to $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2019, as compared to $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2018.

There were no significant changes to the average fee rates and fee structure for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased by $872,000, or 5.6%, to $16.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $15.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits, data processing expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and merger expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $754,000 was driven by regular merit increases, the combination of increased staffing to support new business development initiatives, and the seasonality associated with payroll taxes. The increase of $116,000 in data processing expense was primarily due to investments made in technology in 2018. The increase of $103,000 in occupancy and equipment expense was due to the opening of an additional Wealth Management office in Boston, MA. Merger expenses of $91,000 were related to legal, accounting, and regulatory filing costs associated with the Merger.
36
Noninterest expense increases were partially offset by lower FDIC insurance expense of $151,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to March 31, 2018, as the Company has begun to recognize its apportioned share of credits associated with the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, which has exceeded its target reserve ratio.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter in 2018. The effective tax rate was 21.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 21.8% for the same quarter in 2018. Additionally, the Company recognized $186,000 of tax benefit resulting from the accounting for share-based payments during the first quarter of 2019.
Changes in Financial Condition
Total Assets. Total assets increased $37.2 million, or 1.8%, to $2.14 billion at March 31, 2019, from $2.10 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily due to increases in other assets of $35.8 million associated with the adoption of lease accounting guidance (“ASU 2016-02”) in the first quarter of 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and recorded right-of-use lease assets of $32.9 million and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $18.5 million to $37.0 million at March 31, 2019 from $18.5 million at December 31, 2018.
Investment Securities. The carrying value of total investment securities decreased by $7.4 million to $443.6 million at March 31, 2019, from $451.0 million at December 31, 2018. During the quarter, the Company sold $16.0 million of low-yielding bonds at a loss totaling $87,000.
Loans. Total loans decreased $4.6 million, or 0.3%, from December 31, 2018 and stood at $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. The reduction in total loans was due to a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $8.1 million, from $758.0 million at December 31, 2018 to $749.8 million at March 31, 2019, and decreases in commercial and industrial loans of $3.5 million, or 3.8%, from $93.7 million at December 31, 2018 to $90.2 million at March 31, 2019. These decreases were partially offset by increases in residential mortgage loans of $8.9 million, or 1.5%, from $604.3 million at December 31, 2018 to $613.3 million at March 31, 2019. Total loan originations during the quarter were strong despite elevated levels of loan payoffs, particularly in the commercial real estate portfolio.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance. The Company invests in bank-owned life insurance to help offset the costs of our employee benefit plan obligations. Bank-owned life insurance also generally provides noninterest income that is nontaxable. At March 31, 2019, our investment in bank-owned life insurance was $31.1 million, representing an increase of $127,000 from $30.9 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to increases in the cash surrender value of the policies during the first quarter of 2019.
Deposits. Total deposits were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2019 and $1.8 billion December 31, 2018. Core deposits, which the Company defines as all deposits other than certificates of deposit, increased by $43.1 million, or 2.6%, from December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an $81.7 million increase in savings accounts, a $11.3 million increase in money market accounts, partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in demand deposits, and a $46.1 million decrease in interest bearing checking. Growth in core deposits during the quarter was attributable to successful savings and money market campaigns, as we strive to attract and deepen client relationships. The cost of total deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was 0.55%, as compared to 0.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Certificates of deposit, which totaled $169.3 million at March 31, 2019, increased by $47.8 million from $121.4 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to a $45.6 million increase in brokered certificates of deposit, which were utilized to pay down higher cost borrowings.
Borrowings. At March 31, 2019, borrowings consisted of advances from the FHLB of Boston. Total borrowings decreased to $3.4 million at March 31, 2019, from $93.4 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to strong core deposit growth and an increase in brokered certificates of deposit.
Shareholders’ Equity. Total shareholders’ equity increased $5.2 million, or 3.1%, to $172.3 million at March 31, 2019, from $167.0 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of net income of $6.2 million, and decreases in unrealized losses of $1.2 million in available for sale securities, partially offset by regular dividend payments of $2.1 million.
37
The Company’s securities portfolio consists of securities available for sale (“AFS”) and securities held to maturity (“HTM”). The largest component of the securities portfolio is mortgage-backed securities, all of which are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.
Securities available for sale consist of certain U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSE”) and U.S. GSE mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities. These securities are carried at fair value, and except for equity securities, unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Changes in fair value for equity securities are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASU 2016-01.
The fair value of securities available for sale totaled $144.8 million and included gross unrealized gains of $137,000 and gross unrealized losses of $2.8 million at March 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of securities available for sale totaled $168.2 million and included gross unrealized gains of $118,000 and gross unrealized losses of $4.2 million.

Weighted Average Yield is shown on a fully taxable equivalent basis using a federal tax rate of 21% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. |
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company’s lending activities are conducted principally in Eastern Massachusetts. The Company grants single- and multi-family residential loans, commercial & industrial (“C&I”), commercial real estate (“CRE”), construction loans, and a variety of consumer loans. Most of the loans granted by the Company are secured by real estate collateral. Repayment of the Company’s residential loans are generally dependent on the health of the employment market in the borrowers’ geographic areas and that of the general economy with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral being typically viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. The repayment of C&I loans depends primarily on the cash flow and credit worthiness of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. As borrower cash flow may be difficult to predict, liquidation of the underlying collateral securing these loans is typically viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. However, collateral typically consists of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other business assets that may fluctuate in value, so the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment. The Company’s CRE loans are primarily made based on the cash flow from the collateral property and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower, with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral typically being viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. The Company’s construction loans are primarily made based on the borrower’s expected ability to execute and the future completed value of the collateral property, with sale of the underlying real estate collateral typically being viewed as the primary source of repayment.

Residential Mortgage. Residential real estate loans held in portfolio amounted to $613.3 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $8.9 million, or 1.5%, from $604.3 million at December 31, 2018, and consisted of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The residential mortgage portfolio represented 40% and 39% of total loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The average loan balance outstanding in the residential portfolio was $407,000 and the largest individual residential mortgage loan outstanding was $10.2 million as of March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms.
40
The Bank offers fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans with maturities up to 30 years. One-to-four family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, and we refer to loans that conform to such guidelines as “conforming loans.” The Bank generally originates and purchases both fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans in amounts up to the maximum conforming loan limits as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which increased to $484,350 in 2019 from $453,100 in 2018, for one-unit properties. In addition, the Bank also offers loans above conforming lending limits typically referred to as “jumbo” loans. These loans are typically underwritten to jumbo conforming guidelines, however, the Bank may choose to hold a jumbo loan within its portfolio with underwriting criteria that does not exactly match conforming guidelines. The Bank may also, from time to time, purchase residential loans that are either jumbo, conforming, or meet our Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements. Purchases have historically been made to satisfy CRA requirements for lending to low and moderate income borrowers within the Bank’s CRA Assessment Area.
The Company does not offer reverse mortgages, nor do we offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” (loans that are made with low down payments to borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios) or Alt-A loans (defined as loans having less than full documentation).
Residential real estate loans are originated both for sale to the secondary market, as well as for retention in the Bank’s loan portfolio. The decision to sell a loan to the secondary market or retain within the portfolio is determined based on a variety of factors including but not limited to the Bank’s asset/liability position, the current interest rate environment, and customer preference.
The Company is servicing mortgage loans sold to others without recourse of approximately $89.6 million at March 31, 2019 and $90.2 million at December 31, 2018.

Loans sold with the retention of servicing typically result in the capitalization of servicing rights. Loan servicing rights are included in other assets and are subsequently amortized as an offset to other income over the estimated period of servicing. The net balance of capitalized servicing rights amounted to $647,000 and $666,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Commercial Mortgage. The commercial real estate loans portfolio represented 48% and 49% of total loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Commercial real estate loans were $749.8 million as of March 31, 2019, a decrease of $8.1 million, or 1.1% from $758.0 million at December 31, 2018.
Commercial real estate loans are secured by a variety of property types, with approximately 89.8% of the total at March 31, 2019 composed of multi-family dwellings, retail facilities, office buildings, commercial mixed use, lodging, and industrial and warehouse properties. The average loan balance outstanding in this portfolio was $1.8 million, and the largest individual commercial real estate loan outstanding was $24.0 million as of March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, this commercial mortgage was performing in accordance with its original terms.
41
Generally, our commercial real estate loans are for terms of up to ten years, with loan-to-values that generally do not exceed 75%. Amortization schedules are long term, and thus, a balloon payment is generally due at maturity. Under most circumstances, the Bank will offer to rewrite or otherwise extend the loan at prevailing interest rates.
Home Equity. The home equity portfolio totaled $68.8 million and $69.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The home equity portfolio represented 4% of total loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, the average loan balance outstanding in this portfolio was $67,000, and the largest home equity line of credit was a $2.0 million line of credit and had an outstanding balance of $684,000. At March 31, 2019, this line of credit was performing in accordance with its original terms.
Home equity lines of credit are extended as both first and second mortgages on owner-occupied residential and one-to-four family investment properties in the Bank’s market area. Home equity lines of credit are generally underwritten with the same criteria that we use to underwrite one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.
Our home equity lines of credit are revolving lines of credit, which generally have a term between 15 and 20 years, with draws available for the first 10 years. Our 15-year lines of credit are interest only during the first 10 years and amortize on a five-year basis thereafter. Our 20-year lines of credit are interest only during the first 10 years and amortize on a 10-year basis thereafter. We generally originate home equity lines of credit with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% when combined with the principal balance of the existing first mortgage loan, although loan-to-value ratios may occasionally exceed 80% on a case-by-case basis. Maximum combined loan-to-values are determined based on an applicant’s loan/line amount and the estimated property value. Lines of credit above $1.0 million generally will not exceed combined loan-to-value of 75%. Rates are adjusted monthly based on changes in a designated market index. We also offer home equity term loans, which are extended as second mortgages on owner-occupied residential properties in our market area. Our home equity term loans are fixed-rate second mortgage loans, which generally have a term between 5 and 20 years.
Commercial and Industrial (C&I). The commercial and industrial portfolio totaled $90.2 million and $93.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The C&I portfolio represented 6% of total loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The average loan balance outstanding in this portfolio was $228,000 and the largest individual commercial and industrial loan outstanding was $10.1 million as of March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms.
The Company’s Innovation Banking and asset-based loans are reported within the C&I portfolio.
|
• |
At March 31, 2019, Innovation Banking loans totaled $15.8 million and the average loan balance outstanding in this portfolio was $717,000. The largest individual loan outstanding was $4.1 million and this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms. |
|
• |
At March 31, 2019, asset-based loans totaled $29.1 million and the average loan balance outstanding in this portfolio was $2.7 million. The largest individual loans outstanding was $10.1 million and this loan was performing in accordance with its original terms. |
The Company’s C&I loan customers represent various small- and middle-market established businesses involved in professional services, accommodation and food services, health care, wholesale trade, manufacturing, distribution, retailing, and non-profits. Most clients are privately owned with markets that range from local to national in scope. Many of the loans to this segment are secured by liens on corporate assets and the personal guarantees of the principals. The Company also makes loans to entrepreneurial and technology businesses. The regional economic strength or weakness impacts the relative risks in this loan category. There is little concentration in any one business sector, and loan risks are generally diversified among many borrowers.
Consumer Loans. The consumer loan portfolio totaled $33.0 million at March 31, 2019 from $34.4 million at December 31, 2018. Consumer loans represented 2% of the total loans portfolio at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans, lines of credit, and personal installment loans. Unsecured consumer loans generally have greater risk compared to longer-term loans secured by improved, owner-occupied real estate, particularly consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets. The secured consumer loans and lines portfolio are generally fully secured by pledged assets such as bank accounts or investments.
42
Loan Portfolio Maturities. The following table summarizes the dollar amount of loans maturing in the portfolio based on their loan type and contractual terms to maturity at March 31, 2019. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments, which can significantly shorten the average life of all loans and may cause our actual repayment experience to differ from that shown below. Demand loans, loans having no stated repayment schedule or maturity, and overdraft loans are reported as being due in one year or less.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no specific reserves for impaired loans.
Nonaccrual Loans. Loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when any payment of principal and/or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the collateral is sufficient to cover both principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. The Company monitors closely the performance of its loan portfolio. In addition to the monitoring and review of loan performance internally, the Company has contracted with an independent organization to review the Company’s commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. This independent review was performed in each of the past five years. The status of delinquent loans, as well as situations identified as potential problems, is reviewed on a regular basis by senior management.
43
Troubled Debt Restructurings. Loans are considered restructured in a troubled debt restructuring when the Company has granted concessions to a borrower due to the borrower’s financial condition that it otherwise would not have considered. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. Debt may be bifurcated with separate terms for each tranche of the restructured debt. Restructuring a loan in lieu of aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan may benefit the Company by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.
Restructured loans are classified as accruing or non-accruing based on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan. Loans which are already on nonaccrual status at the time of the restructuring generally remain on nonaccrual status for approximately six months or longer before management considers such loans for return to accruing status. Accruing restructured loans are placed into nonaccrual status if and when the borrower fails to comply with the restructured terms and management deems it unlikely that the borrower will return to a status of compliance in the near term.
Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. The Company identifies loss allocations for impaired loans on an individual loan basis.
Total nonperforming loans decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to lower residential non-accrual loans.
The Company continues to closely monitor the portfolio of nonperforming loans for which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to perform. The majority of the loans are secured by real estate and are considered to have adequate collateral value to cover the loan balances at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, although such values may fluctuate with changes in the economy and the real estate market.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount determined by management on the basis of the character of the loans, loan performance, financial condition of borrowers, the value of collateral securing loans, and other relevant factors. We provide for loan losses based upon the consistent application of our documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio, including a review of our classified assets, and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. See additional discussion regarding the allowance for loan losses, in Item 7 under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and in Note 7 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The level of charge-offs depends on many factors, including the national and regional economy. Cyclical lagging factors may result in charge-offs being higher than historical levels. The dollar amount of the allowance for loan losses increased primarily as a result of loan growth and changes in the portfolio composition. Although the allowance is allocated between categories, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses attributable to all loan categories. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
Sources of Funds
General. Deposits traditionally have been our primary source of funds for our investment and lending activities. The Company also borrows from the FHLB of Boston to supplement cash flow needs, to lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk management purposes, and to manage our cost of funds. Our additional sources of funds are scheduled payments and prepayments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities and fee income and proceeds from the sales of loans and securities.
Deposits. The Company accepts deposits primarily from customers in the communities in which our branches and offices are located, as well as from small- and medium-sized businesses and other customers throughout our lending area. We rely on our competitive pricing and products, convenient locations, and client service to attract and retain deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Our deposit accounts consist of relationship checking for consumers and businesses, statement savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, interest on lawyer trust accounts, commercial and regular checking accounts, and individual retirement accounts. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current business strategies, market interest rates, liquidity requirements, and our deposit growth goals. The Bank may also access the brokered deposit market for funding.

At March 31, 2019, we had a total of $96.2 million in certificates of deposit, excluding brokered deposits, of which $61.1 million had remaining maturities of one year or less. Based on historical experience and our current pricing strategy, we believe we will retain a large portion of these accounts upon maturity. As of March 31, 2019, we had a total of $73.1 million of brokered deposits and $27.5 million of brokered deposits at December 31, 2018.
Borrowings. The Bank’s borrowings consisted primarily of FHLB of Boston advances collateralized by a blanket pledge agreement on the Bank’s FHLB of Boston stock and residential mortgages held in the Bank’s portfolios. The Bank’s borrowings with the FHLB of Boston totaled $3.4 million at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $90.0 million compared to $93.4 million at December 31, 2018.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the amount of net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on earning assets is the amount of annualized taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities.

Market Risk and Asset Liability Management
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using several tools.
The Company’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while structuring the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. The Company relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk.
48
Interest Rate Sensitivity. The Company actively manages its interest rate sensitivity position. The objectives of interest rate risk management are to control exposure of net interest income to risks associated with interest rate movements and to achieve sustainable growth in net interest income. The Company’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), using policies and procedures approved by the Company’s board of directors, is responsible for the management of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity position. The Company manages interest rate sensitivity by changing the mix, pricing, and re-pricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities, through the management of its investment portfolio, its offerings of loan and selected deposit terms, and through wholesale funding. Wholesale funding consists of, but is not limited to, multiple sources including borrowings with the FHLB of Boston, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s discount window, and certificates of deposit from institutional brokers.
The Company uses several tools to manage its interest rate risk including interest rate sensitivity analysis, or gap analysis, market value of portfolio equity analysis, interest rate simulations under various rate scenarios, and net interest margin reports. The results of these reports are compared to limits established by the Company’s ALCO policies and appropriate adjustments may be made if the results are outside the established limits.
The following table demonstrates the annualized result of an interest rate simulation and the estimated effect that a parallel interest rate shift, or “shock,” in the yield curve and subjective adjustments in deposit pricing might have on the Company’s projected net interest income over the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2019:

The following table demonstrates the annualized result of an interest rate simulation and the estimated effect that a gradual interest rate shift in the yield curve and subjective adjustments in deposit pricing might have on the Company’s projected net interest income over the next 12 months.

These simulations assume that there is no growth in interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities over the next 12 months. The changes to net interest income shown above are in compliance with the Company’s policy guidelines.
Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Company also analyzes the sensitivity of the Bank’s financial condition to changes in interest rates through our economic value of equity model. This analysis measures the difference between estimated changes in the present value of the Bank’s assets and estimated changes in the present value of the Bank’s liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates. The Bank’s economic value of equity analysis as of March 31, 2019 estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would experience a 6.5% increase in the economic value of equity. At the same date, our analysis estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Bank would experience a 8.5% decrease in the economic value of equity. The estimates of changes in the economic value of our equity require us to make certain assumptions including loan- and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on the economic value of our equity. Although our economic value of equity analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the economic value of our equity and will differ from actual results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. Our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
Liquidity. Liquidity is defined as the Company’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs for day-to-day operations and material long- and short-term commitments. Liquidity risk is the risk of potential loss if the Company were unable to meet its funding requirements at a reasonable cost. The Company manages its liquidity based on demand and specific events and uncertainties to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity is to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers, as well as increase to earnings enhancement opportunities in a changing marketplace.
The Company’s liquidity position is managed on a daily basis as part of the daily settlement function and continuously as part of the formal asset liability management process. The Bank’s liquidity is maintained by managing its core deposits as the primary source, selling investment securities, selling loans in the secondary market, borrowing from the FHLB of Boston, and purchasing wholesale certificates of deposit as its secondary sources.
The sources of funds for dividends paid by the Company are dividends received from the Bank and liquid funds held by the Company. The Company and the Bank are regulated enterprises and their abilities to pay dividends are subject to regulatory review and restriction. Certain regulatory and statutory restrictions exist regarding dividends, loans, and advances from the Bank to the Company. Generally, the Bank has the ability to pay dividends to the Company subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements.
Quarterly, the ALCO reviews the Company’s liquidity needs and reports any findings (if required) to the Board of Directors.
Capital Adequacy. Total shareholders’ equity was $172.3 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $167.0 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s equity increased primarily as a result of an increase in earnings. The ratio of total equity to total assets amounted to 8.06% at March 31, 2019 and 7.95% at December 31, 2018. Book value per share at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 amounted to $41.78 and $40.67, respectively.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company and the Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered “well-capitalized.” See Item 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 13 – Shareholders’ Equity.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to originate and sell loans, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit, and unadvanced portions of construction loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. Our significant off-balance-sheet arrangements consist of the following:

The information required by this item is included in Item 2 of this report under “Market Risk and Liability Management.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2019, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019 for recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the period ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
51
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be parties to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their normal business activities. Although the ultimate outcome of these suits, if any, cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that none of these matters, even if it resolved adversely to the Company, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company is not currently party to any pending legal proceedings.
Please read “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes since this 10-K was filed. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results.
