NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations.  Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (“CCBG” or the “Company”) provides a full range of banking and banking-related services to individual and corporate clients through its subsidiary, Capital City Bank, with banking offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.  The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is subject to regulation by certain government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

 

Basis of Presentation.  The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of CCBG and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (“CCB” or the “Bank”).  All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated.  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 

 

The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Accounting Changes

 

Revenue Recognition.   Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, and investment securities, and revenue related to the sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.  Descriptions of the major revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in the accompanying statements of income as components of non-interest income are as follows:

 

Deposit Fees - these represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue.  Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed.  Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Wealth Management - trust fees and retail brokerage fees – trust fees represent monthly fees due from wealth management clients as consideration for managing the client’s assets. Trust services include custody of assets, investment management, fees for trust services and similar fiduciary activities. Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed each month or quarter, which is the time that payment is received. Also, retail brokerage fees are received from a third party broker-dealer, for which the Company acts as an agent, as part of a revenue-sharing agreement for fees earned from customers that are referred to the third party.  These fees are for transactional and advisory services and are paid by the third party on a monthly basis and recognized ratably throughout the quarter as the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Bank Card Fees – bank card related fees primarily includes interchange income from client use of consumer and business debit cards.  Interchange income is a fee paid by a merchant bank to the card-issuing bank through the interchange network.  Interchange fees are set by the credit card associations and are based on cardholder purchase volumes.  The Company records interchange income as transactions occur.

 

Gains and Losses from the Sale of Bank Owned Property – the performance obligation in the sale of other real estate owned typically will be the delivery of control over the property to the buyer.  If the Company is not providing the financing of the sale, the transaction price is typically identified in the purchase and sale agreement.  However, if the Company provides seller financing, the Company must determine a transaction price, depending on if the sale contract is at market terms and taking into account the credit risk inherent in the arrangement. 

 

Other non-interest income primarily includes items such as mortgage banking fees (gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans held for sale), bank-owned life insurance, and safe deposit box fees none of which are subject to the requirements of ASC 606.

 

The Company has made no significant judgments in applying the revenue guidance prescribed in ASC 606 that affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from the above-described contracts with clients.

 

The Company has applied ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach effective on January 1, 2018 to all existing contracts with clients covered under the scope of the standard.  The Company did not have an aggregate effect of modification resulting from adoption of ASC 606, and no financial statement line items were affected by this change in accounting standard.  

 

Equity Securities. Beginning January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in income. For periods prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities were classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of AOCI, net of tax.  Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less any impairment, if any.  Upon adoption, the Company reclassified one security in the amount of $0.8 million to other assets in accordance with this accounting standard.

 

Employee Benefit Plans. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. In accordance with this accounting standard, the Company reclassified the non-service cost components of its net periodic benefit cost to other noninterest expense in the accompanying statements of income (See Note 5 – Employee Benefit Plans). Prior year amounts were retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the accounting standard.  The effects on the statements of income were as follows:

 

  

 

 

⁽¹⁾     Includes Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, recorded at cost of $3.1 million, $4.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2018 and includes Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and FNBB Inc. stock recorded at cost of $3.1 million, $4.8 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017.  The FNBB, Inc. equity investment was reclassified to other assets at March 31, 2018 in accordance with ASU 2016-01, which was adopted prospectively as allowed by the standard.

 

Securities with an amortized cost of $247.1 million and $328.1 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

 

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), is required to own capital stock in the FHLB based generally upon the balances of residential and commercial real estate loans, and FHLB advances.  FHLB stock which is included in equity securities is pledged to secure FHLB advances.  No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value; however, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value.

 

As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to maintain stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta based on a specified ratio relative to the Bank’s capital.  Federal Reserve Bank stock is carried at cost.

 

Maturity Distribution.  At June 30, 2018, the Company's investment securities had the following maturity distribution based on contractual maturity.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.  Mortgage-backed securities and certain amortizing U.S. government agency securities are shown separately because they are not due at a certain maturity date.
