NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB Financial”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters” or “EU”). CB Financial and the Bank are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading in any material respect. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment including related cash flow projections, goodwill and intangible assets impairment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations at the dates and for the periods presented. All of these adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, and they are the only adjustments included in the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC and incorporated into the consolidated financial statements the effect of all material known events determined by ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, to be recognizable events.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company derives substantially all its income from banking and bank-related services which include interest earnings on commercial, commercial mortgage, residential real estate and consumer loan financing, as well as interest earnings on investment securities and fees generated from deposit services to its customers. The Company provides banking services through its subsidiary, Community Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. The Bank operates from sixteen offices in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, seven offices in Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Upshur and Wetzel Counties in West Virginia, and one office in Belmont County in Ohio. The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses in its market area. Property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products are offered through Exchange Underwriters, the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary that is a full-service, independent insurance agency.

 

Acquired Loans

 

Loans that were acquired in previous mergers, were recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. The fair value of the acquired loans was estimated by management with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist.

 

For performing loans acquired in a merger, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable discount and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. For purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired in a merger, the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable discount. The nonaccretable discount represents estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows require an evaluation to determine the need for an allowance for loan losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the reversal of a corresponding amount of the nonaccretable discount which is then reclassified as accretable discount that is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. The evaluation of the amount of future cash flows that is expected to be collected is performed in a similar manner as that used to determine our allowance for credit losses. Charge-offs of the principal amount on acquired loans would be first applied to the nonaccretable discount portion of the fair value adjustment.

Recognition of Prior Period Errors

 

In April 2018, the Company discovered an error with the collateral position on a commercial and industrial classified loan relationship that had occurred in April 2017. This error resulted in the loss of the Company’s first lien position, leaving the loan with insufficient collateral. The Company recognized the error by recording a specific reserve and recognizing an additional $300,000 (pre-tax) of provision for loan losses for the quarter-ended March 31, 2018. There was no financial statement impact for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The impact of the correction of the error resulted in a decrease of $300,000 in income before income taxes and a decrease of $63,000 in income taxes, resulting in a decrease of $237,000 (after-tax) in net income ($0.06 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

As a result of this error, the Company’s 2017 results were overstated by $237,000 and the Company’s March 31, 2018 quarterly results were understated by the same amount. Management of the Company concluded the effect of the error was immaterial to the Company’s 2017 and 2018 results.

 

In March 2019, the Company discovered an error in loan classifications within the commercial and industrial segment of the loan portfolio. Certain term loans and revolving lines of credit that were incorrectly classified as commercial and industrial loans even though they were partially or primarily secured by commercial real estate and residential real estate. The error resulted in loan reclassifications of $21.7 million from the commercial and industrial segment to the commercial real estate and the residential real estate segments as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, as a result of the loan segment reclassifications, the allocated components of the allowance for loan losses were adjusted to reflect the revised loan balances with the residual of $257,000 added to the unallocated component of the allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 2018. Management of the Company has evaluated the loan reclassification error and determined that, based on quantitative and qualitative analyses, this error was not material to the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements as presented.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In January 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842), Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. ASU 2018-01 is intended to be effective with ASU 2016-02, as amended. The amendments in ASU 2018-01 are as follows: provide an optional transition practical expedient for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 that, if elected, would not require an organization to reconsider their accounting for existing land easements that are not currently accounted for under the old lease standards; and clarify that new or modified land easements should be evaluated under ASU 2016-02, once an entity has adopted the new standard. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation for leases with terms of more than twelve months. Both the ROU asset and lease liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Subsequent measurement, including the presentation of expenses and cash flows, will depend on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied as of the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, which increased assets and liabilities approximately $1.9 million as a result of reporting additional leases on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the feature when triggered and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 effective January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables- Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchases of Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 amends guidance on the amortization period of premiums on certain purchases of callable debt securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period of premiums on certain purchases of callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-08 effective January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2017-04, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP; and instead requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however this ASU will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 affects companies holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The ASU 2016-13 amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-13, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation for leases with terms of more than twelve months. Both the ROU asset and lease liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Subsequent measurement, including the presentation of expenses and cash flows, will depend on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied as of the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019, which increased assets and liabilities approximately $1.9 million as a result of reporting additional leases on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition.

 

Note 2. Merger

 

Effective April 30, 2018, the Company merged with First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. (“FWVB”), the holding company for Progressive Bank, N.A. (“PB”), a national association. In addition, effective April 30, 2018, PB merged in the Bank. The FWVB merger enhanced the Bank’s exposure into the core of the PA-WV-OH Tri-State region. Through the FWVB merger, the Company anticipates future revenue and earnings growth from an expanded menu of financial services offered through the Company’s branch network in the Ohio Valley. The FWVB merger resulted in the addition of eight branches and expanded the Company’s reach into West Virginia with seven branches and one branch in Eastern Ohio. The FWVB merger value was approximately $51.3 million. In connection with the FWVB merger, the Company issued 1,317,647 shares of common stock based on the Company’s closing stock price on April 30, 2018, of $31.9068, and paid cash consideration of $9.8 million in exchange for all the outstanding shares of FWVB common stock.

 

Merger-related expenses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income and include costs relating to the Company’s acquisition of FWVB, as described above.  These charges represent one-time costs associated with acquisition activities and do not represent ongoing costs of the fully integrated combined organization.  Accounting guidance requires that acquisition-related transactional and restructuring costs incurred by the Company be charged to expense as incurred. There were approximately $1.2 million of cumulative merger-related expenses, of which $24,000, were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 7 

 

As of the date of merger, FWVB had approximately $334.0 million of assets, $96.8 million of loans, and $282.9 million of deposits held across a network of 8 branches located in West Virginia and eastern Ohio. The Company stockholders and FWVB stockholders now own approximately 76% and 24% of the combined company, respectively.

 

The FWVB merger was accounted for as an acquisition in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. This process is heavily reliant on measuring and estimating the fair values of all the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. To the extent we did not have the requisite expertise to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we engaged third-party valuation specialists to assist us in determining such values. The preliminary results of the fair value evaluation generated goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual obligations or other legal rights.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FWVB were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at their estimated fair values as of April 30, 2018. Based on a purchase price allocation, the Company recorded $23.5 million in goodwill and $9.1 million in core deposit intangibles related to the FWVB acquisition.

 

None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes.

 

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the FWVB merger were as follows (dollars in thousands):

As part of the FWVB merger, the Company identified FWVB employees who would be retained and estimated a severance costs of $100,000 if those employees were terminated without cause within the first year of the merger. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid out $52,000 in severance cost according to the FWVB merger agreement.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

 

There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income is used as the numerator.

 

The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 while prior periods amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a change in recognition of revenue for insurance commissions. There were no changes in the accounting for all other in-scope revenue streams.

 

The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying ASC 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

 9 

 

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized as Non-Interest Income with the exception of Other Real Estate Owned Expense (Income), which is accounted for in Non-Interest Expense. The following table presents the Company’s sources of Non-Interest Income and Expense as of the periods indicated:

(a)Interchange fees and ATM fees are included within this line item.
(b)Not within the scope of ASC 606.
(c)The Other Commissions category includes wealth management referral fees, check sales and safe deposit box rentals totaling $69,000 and $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are in the scope of ASC 606; the remaining balances of $89,000 and $391,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represent income derived from other various commissions and a bank-owned life insurance policy claim for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which are all outside the scope of ASC 606. The following narrative describes the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under the guidance of ASC 606 as follows:

 

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees include services fees for ATM uses, stop payment charges, statement production, ACH and wire fees, which are recognized into income at the occurrence of an executed transaction and the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which are primarily based on monthly maintenance activities, are earned over the course of the month, and satisfy the Company’s performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized as the overdrafts on customer’s accounts are incurred. The services fees on deposit accounts are automatically withdrawn from the customer’s accounts balance per their account agreement with the Company.

 

Interchange Fees: The Company earns interchange fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through the MasterCard network for our debit cards and through the Visa network for our credit cards. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The Company currently does not offer a cardholder rewards program.

 

Insurance Commissions: The Company’s insurance subsidiary, Exchange Underwriters, derives commission and fee income from direct and agency bill insurance policies. Direct bill policies are invoiced directly from the insurance company provider to the customer. Once the customer remits payment for the policy, the insurance company provider then remits the commission or fee income to EU on a monthly basis. Agency bill policies are invoiced from EU, the insurance underwriting agency, to the customer. EU records the insurance company policy payable and the commission or fee income earned on the policy. As all insurance policies are contracts with customers, each policy has different terms and conditions.

 

 10 

 

EU utilizes a report from their core insurance data processing program, The Agency Manager, otherwise known as “TAM”. The report from TAM captures all in force policies that are active in the system and annualizes the commission over the life of each individual contract. The report then provides an overall commission and fee income total for the monthly reporting financial statement period. This income is then compared to the amount of direct and agency bill income recorded in TAM for the reporting month and an adjustment to income is made according to the report and this is the income recognized for the portion of the insurance contract that has been earned by EU.

 

Other Commissions: The Company earns other commissions, such as, wealth management referral fees, check sales and safe deposit box rentals to customers. The wealth management referral fees are earned as a referral of a bank customer initiates a customer relationship with an associated wealth management firm. These fees fulfill the contract/agreement between the Company and the wealth management firm. Check sales are recognized as customers contact the Company for check supplies or the customer initiates the check order through the Company website to our third party check company. These commissions are recognized as the third party check company satisfies the contract of providing check stock to our customers. Safe deposit box rental income is recognized on a monthly basis, per each contract agreement with our customers. The safe deposit box income is automatically withdrawn from the customer’s deposit account on a monthly basis as this revenue is earned by the contract.

 

Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. It is not common policy that the Company will finance an OREO property with the buyer. It is the Company’s belief that once loan collateral has been recognized as an OREO property, it needs to be sold to free the Company of any additional possible loss exposure. In addition, the Company occasionally will receive ownership in mineral rights with an OREO property. It has been the Company’s practice to retain ownership in the mineral rights and proceed to recognize the value of these rights to offset any potential loss exposure.

For debt securities, the Company does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company performs a review of the entire securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to identify securities that may indicate an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company’s management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and the financial condition of the issuer. The securities that are temporarily impaired at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 relate principally to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the specific securities. The Company does not intend to sell or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost or maturity of the security.

 

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of investment securities as of the date indicated:

Note 6. Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Loss

 

The Company’s loan portfolio is made up of four classifications: real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans and other loans. These segments are further segregated between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (“Originated Loans”) and acquired loans that were originally recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related pre-merger allowance for loan losses (“Loans Acquired at Fair Value”). The following table presents the classifications of loans as of the dates indicated.

Note 7. Leases

 

The Company evaluates all contracts at commencement to determine if a lease is present. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the prospective method approach to all identified lease contracts or agreements, which permits us not to restate comparative periods. The current period adoption also recognized the use of a number of practical measures that permitted the Company not to reevaluate prior assumptions regarding the identification and classification of leases. In accordance with ASC 842, leases are defined as either operating or finance leases.

 

The Company identified 12 lease contracts as of ASC 842 adoption date, January 1, 2019. All lease contracts were classified as operating leases and created operating right-of-use, (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The leases are ROU assets of land and building for branch and loan production locations. These ROU assets are reported on the accrued interest and other assets line and the related lease liabilities on the accrued interest and other liabilities line on the Statement of Financial Condition.

 

The following tables present the ROU assets, lease expense, weighted average term, discount rate and maturity analysis of lease liabilities for operating leases at the date indicated.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in 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 commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit written 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.

 

Commitments and conditional obligations are evaluated the same as on-balance-sheet instruments but do not have a corresponding reserve recorded. The Company’s opinion on not implementing a corresponding reserve for off-balance-sheet instruments is supported by historical factors of no losses recorded due to these items. The Company is continually evaluating these items for credit quality and any future need for the corresponding reserve.

 

The following table presents the unused and available credit balances of financial instruments whose contracts represent credit risk at the dates indicated.

Commercial Lines of Credit   82,169    74,602 
   $208,608   $209,025 

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Performance letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance-related contracts. The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one-year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the letter. For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Company deposit instruments or customer business assets.

 

Note 12. Fair Value Disclosure

 

FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value and provides the framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the transaction date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methods to determine fair value.

 

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level I –Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.
 29 

 

Level II –Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level I inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level II inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, and other observable inputs.

 

Level III –Fair value would be based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level III classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows, and other similar techniques.

 

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated, by level within the fair value hierarchy. The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for Level II securities were primarily determined by a third party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The standard inputs that are normally used include benchmark yields of like securities, reportable trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. There were no transfers from Level I to Level II and no transfers into or out of Level III during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or year ended December 31, 2018.

The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated by level within the fair value hierarchy. The table also presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loans include quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs or observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

 (1) Range includes discounts taken since appraisal and estimated values.

 

Impaired loans are evaluated when a loan is identified as impaired and valued at the lower of cost or fair value at that time. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of impaired loans consists of the loan balances of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, less their specific valuation allowances of $983,000 and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

Other real estate owned (OREO) properties are evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs. After acquisition, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The fair value of an other real estate owned property is determined from a qualified independent appraisal and is classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, one commercial real estate OREO property with a fair value of $697,000 and that was acquired with the FWVB merger, was sold at a $33,000 gain and one OREO property, with a fair value of $46,000 and that was acquired in the merger with FedFirst Financial Corporation, was sold for a $3,000 loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, one residential real estate OREO property was sold at a gain of $12,000.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

 

Fair value is 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. If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

 

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

 

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at the dates indicated.

Note 13. Income Taxes

 

Due to the FWVB merger, deferred tax assets (“DTA”) were acquired and deferred tax liabilities (“DTL”) were assumed at April 30, 2018. These DTA’s and DTL’s were evaluated by management and the deferred taxes that were deemed obsolete due to the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities at the time of merger were charged against goodwill. In addition, the fair value adjustments that were provided by third party valuation specialists, were tax effected at the federal statutory rate of 21%. The West Virginia (“WV”) state tax effect of 6.5% times the appropriate WV state apportionment according to state revenue laws regarding nexus has been applied. Presented in the table below are the tax effects of deductible and taxable temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The net change in deferred taxes is recorded in the accrued interest and other assets lines on the balance sheet.

(1)The 100% valuation allowance for AMT tax credit carry-forward acquired in the FWVB merger is due to an unaddressed tax deadline as of March 31, 2019. See below narrative for further explanation.

 

While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was the first major overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code in the last 30 years, it has many items that are left unaddressed once certain tax deadlines pass and no formal regulations are known as of March 31, 2019. One of these unaddressed tax deadlines is the expiration of the AMT credit carry-forward after the 2021 tax year. Pre – Tax Act regulations allowed for AMT credits to carry-forward infinitely. It has been determined that an AMT credit carry-forward of approximately $1.3 million, acquired in the FWVB merger on April 30, 2018, is in an uncertain tax position (“UTP”) and in accordance with FIN 48 – Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions under ASC Topic 740, a valuation allowance has been established for the AMT credit completely offsetting the deferred tax asset balance of $1.3 million against goodwill. This is in accordance with ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations, due to the AMT credit carry-forward being realized under current tax law and minimal possibility of utilization as of the 2021 tax year, deemed to have no current value and offset into goodwill as a purchase accounting adjustment.

 

No other valuation allowance was established against the remaining deferred tax assets in view of the Company’s cumulative history of earnings and anticipated future taxable income as evidenced by the Company’s earnings potential at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Deferred taxes at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, but rather statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions. Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·General and local economic conditions;
·Changes in interest rates, deposit flows, demand for loans, real estate values and competition;
·Competitive products and pricing;
·The ability of our customers to make scheduled loan payments;
·Loan delinquency rates;
·Our ability to manage the risks involved in our business;
·Our ability to integrate the operations of businesses we acquire;
·Inflation, market and monetary fluctuations;
·Our ability to control costs and expenses;
·Changes in federal and state legislation and regulation applicable to our business; and

·Other factors disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 34 

 

The Company uses the current statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% to value its deferred tax assets and liabilities. In addition, all deferred tax assets and liabilities including deferred tax assets and liabilities that were retained from the FWVB merger have been tax effected at the WV state income tax rate of 6.5% times the appropriate WV state apportionment according to state revenue laws regarding nexus.

 

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion focuses on our consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2019, compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2018 and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service charges on deposit accounts, fees and charges on loans, insurance commissions, income from bank-owned life insurance and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of expenses related to salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, contracted services, legal fees, other real estate owned, advertising and promotion, stationery and supplies, deposit and general insurance and other expenses.

 

Financial institutions like us, in general, are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. Our operations and lending are principally concentrated in southwestern Pennsylvania and Ohio Valley market areas.

 

Statement of Financial Condition Analysis

 

Assets. Total assets increased $21.3 million, or 1.7%, to remain at approximately $1.3 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Cash and due from banks increased $23.0 million, or 43.1%, to $76.3 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $53.4 million at December 31, 2018. This is primarily the result of deposit growth.

 

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale decreased $736,000, or 0.3%, to $224.7 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $225.4 million at December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of security calls and paydowns in the current quarter of approximately $3.8 million, mainly offset by an increase in the unrealized gain on securities of approximately $3.0 million. The increase in unrealized gain on securities is mainly due to the market and interest rate decreases.

 35 

 

Loans, net, decreased $3.9 million, or 0.4%, to $899.4 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $903.3 million at December 31, 2018. Net loan paydowns and net loan prepayments of $7.8 million for commercial and industrial loans, $4.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $3.5 million for consumer loans and $3.9 million of sold residential mortgage loans to the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance ® (“MPF®”) program, offset net loan originations of $11.1 million in construction loans, $3.5 million in residential mortgage loans, and $423,000 in other loans. Loan reclassifications of $21.7 million resulted in adjustments to the balances of loan segments at December 31, 2018. The loan reclassification occurred as of the three months ended March 31, 2019. This was due to a review of the commercial and industrial loan segment that had identified the reclassified loans as term loans and revolving lines of credit even though they were partially or primarily collateralized by commercial real estate and residential real estate.

 

Premises and equipment, net, decreased $356,000, or 1.5%, to $23.1 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $23.4 million at December 31, 2018. This is due to $276,000 of depreciation and $25,000 of purchase accounting adjustments recognized on fixed assets in the current quarter.

 

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $17.2 million, or 1.5%, to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2018.

 

Total deposits increased $18.8 million, or 1.7%, to remain constant at $1.1 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. There were increases of $20.9 million in demand deposits, $8.3 million in savings accounts, $3.3 million in time deposits and $796,000 in brokered deposits, partially offset by decreases of $8.9 million in money market accounts and $5.6 million in NOW accounts. The legacy Bank deposit portfolio had approximately $12.6 million increase in deposits in the current quarter. The acquired FWVB merger deposit portfolio increased $6.2 million in the current quarter. The Bank has been selective on offering promotional interest rates and has concentrated its efforts on increasing noninterest-bearing accounts by building strong customer relationships.

 

Short-term borrowings decreased $290,000, or 0.9%, to $30.7 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, short-term borrowings were comprised entirely of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Approximately $20.0 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase were assumed in the FWVB merger. The decrease in short-term borrowings is related to available cash reserves that exceeded loan originations and a decrease in business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase. Other borrowed funds decreased by $3.0 million due to a $3.0 million maturing FHLB long-term borrowing that was retired in the current period. As a result of current period activity, the weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings increased by 9 basis points to 2.08%.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $4.1 million, or 3.0%, to $141.7 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $137.6 million at December 31, 2018. Net income was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Unrealized gain on investment securities increased by $2.4 million. The Company paid $1.3 million in dividends to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Book value per share was $26.09, an increase of $0.76, or 3.0%, at March 31, 2019, as compared to $25.33 book value per share at December 31, 2018.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Overview. Net income increased $1.5 million, to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The quarterly results were mainly impacted by the FWVB merger, which produced increased net interest income, and the acquisition of the Beynon Insurance customer list on August 1, 2018, which produced additional noninterest income through increased commission and fees and contingency income. In addition, significantly reduced provision for loan losses in the current quarter attributed to overall net income.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.8 million, or 37.1%, to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Interest and dividend income increased $3.6 million, or 41.2%, to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Interest income on loans increased $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Average net loans increased by $147.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was primarily due to the FWVB merger and organic loan growth. The FWVB merger not only affected the average loan balance, it also contributed to an increase of 41 basis points in loan yield. The credit mark recorded for the acquired loans in the FWVB merger was approximately $1.3 million. The impact of the accretion from both the FWVB and FedFirst Financial Corporation (“FFCO”) acquired loan portfolios for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was an increase of $60,000, or 3 basis points in loan yield, compared to $66,000, or 4 basis points increase, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The impact of credit mark accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, was mainly due to monthly loan runoff for both acquired loan portfolios. The remaining credit mark balance for both acquired loan portfolios was $1.8 million as of March 31, 2019. Interest income on taxable securities increased $830,000, mainly due to an increase of $99.0 million in the average balance and 72 basis points in yield in the current period. This is a result of the FWVB merger and security purchases with higher prevailing yields. Other interest and dividend income increased $144,000, to $204,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $60,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was a result of increased interest earned on correspondent deposit banks and FHLB dividends in the current period. Interest income on federal funds sold increased $108,000, mainly due to an increase of $19.1 million in the average balance of other interest-earning assets held at the Federal Reserve Bank, comprised mainly of interest-bearing cash and the three quarterly interest rate hikes of 25 basis points each by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) since the three months ended March 31, 2018. Interest income on securities exempt from federal income tax increased by $45,000 in the current period. This was mainly due to the FWVB merger that generated an increase in yield of 45 basis points.

Interest expense increased $763,000, or 69.4%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Interest expense on deposits increased $931,000, due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $257.8 million, primarily due to increases in deposits as a result of the FWVB merger. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 28 basis points. This was primarily related to previously mentioned interest rate hikes by the FRB. Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased by $151,000, or 146 basis points, due to a decrease of $42.4 million in the average balance of FHLB overnight borrowings, partially offset by an increase of $9.1 million in the average balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Interest expense on other borrowed funds decreased $16,000 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB long-term borrowings of $4.2 million during the current quarter. This is a result of maturing FHLB long-term borrowings being retired.

 

Average Balances and Yields. The following tables present information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal income tax rate of 21% for 2019 and 2018. As such, amounts will not agree to income as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, and include nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal income tax rate of 21% for 2019 and 2018. The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. The total column represents the sum of the prior columns.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $172,000, which included net-charge-offs of $133,000 on automobile loans and $23,000 on student loans, compared to $1.4 million of net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which included $122,000 of net charge-offs on automobile loans. Prior period loan charge-offs consisted of $496,000, $443,000 and $238,000 for three commercial and industrial relationships and $27,000 for residential mortgage loans. The student loan charge-offs are now being recognized by the Bank due to the ReliaMax Surety student loan insurance company’s insolvency in 2018. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses. The decrease in the quarterly provision was primarily due to reduced charge-offs, loan paydowns and loan payoffs of impaired loan relationships in the current period. In addition, stability of the credit matrix factors in the current period had a positive impact on the qualitative factors within the allowance calculation.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $229,000, or 11.0%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Insurance commissions from Exchange Underwriters increased $220,000, due to increased direct bill and property and casualty commercial lines commissions and fees income of $351,000, as a result of the Beynon customer list acquisition and increased contingency fees of $116,000 received, partially offset by a decrease due to the revenue recognition accounting standard adopted in the first quarter of 2018. The revenue recognition standard delayed $251,000 of received commissions and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. These commissions and fees will be recognized into income in subsequent periods as the revenue is earned in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. Contingency fees are commissions that are contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, eligible written premiums, earned premiums, incurred losses and stop loss charges. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $162,000 due to increased volume in ATM and check card fees as a result of the FWVB merger. There was an increase in the net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans of $84,000. The increase in gains was primarily due to an increase in the number of loans originated and subsequently sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® program and stability in mortgage rates. The MPF® program enables member financial institutions to offer competitive interest rates for fixed-rate mortgage loans without assuming any of the interest rate risk associated with a long-term asset. The fair value of equity securities increased $45,000 due to the prior year first quarter adoption of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10), which requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method or that are consolidated) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As required, the $20,000 gain on equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a $25,000 loss on equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was recognized due to current market conditions. Other noninterest income increased $37,000 due to decreased amortization of mortgage servicing rights on sold mortgages. Income on bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) increased by $24,000 due to the BOLI policies acquired in the FWVB merger. The decrease of $275,000 in other commissions was primarily due to the prior year first quarter recognition of insurance proceeds from a claim on a BOLI policy. There was a decrease of $60,000 in net gains on sales of investments due to investments sold at a loss of $60,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The recognized losses were by design to mitigate deteriorating investments-credit risk and to reinvest in higher yielding, longer-term investments.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $2.4 million, or 36.2%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million primarily due to the addition of FWVB-retained employee salaries, salary increases related to personnel, and health care and retirement benefits expenses mostly related to the FWVB merger. Amortization of Core Deposit Intangible (“CDI”) increased $351,000, due to the amortization of CDI recorded for the FWVB merger. Equipment expense increased $206,000, primarily due to data processing, equipment maintenance contracts, and depreciation expense related to the eight additional branch locations from the FWVB merger. Occupancy expense increased $189,000, primarily due to increases in property contracted services, depreciation, utilities and real estate taxes due to the FWVB merger. Other noninterest expense increased $142,000, primarily due to director fees, amortization of the Beynon customer list for Exchange Underwriters, telephone, other losses, meals and entertainment, and postage. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other restricted stock awards expense, repossession expenses, dues and memberships, and office supplies. Contracted services increased $133,000 mainly as a result of the eight additional branch locations acquired in the FWVB merger. Other real estate owned expense decreased $70,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to $38,000 of income for the leasing of mineral rights and $33,000 gain on the sale of the acquired other real estate owned property from the FWVB merger. PA shares tax increased $69,000 due to the increase in equity based on the FWVB merger. Bankcard processing increased $68,000 mainly due to the increased number of ATM transactions as a result of the FWVB merger. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment expense increased $52,000 due to the average asset growth related to the FWVB merger and an assessment factor increase by the FDIC in the computation of the insurance assessment. Legal and professional fees increased $41,000 mainly due to external audit related fees. Advertising increased $17,000 due to marketing initiatives that are being utilized to enhance the Company’s brand and exposure in the market area. This was partially offset by a decrease of $24,000 in merger- related expenses due to prior year quarter merger expenses related to merger planning software and employee travel to the then pending FWVB merger.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes increased $551,000 to $718,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 19.7% compared to 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in income taxes was due to an increase of $2.1 million in pre-tax income. The increase in the current quarter effective tax rate is due to the prior period federal tax-exempt income recognized on the proceeds from a claim on a BOLI policy. Excluding one-time BOLI proceeds of $421,000, the effective income tax rate was approximately 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

Other than loan commitments and standby and performance letters of credit, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a significant current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. Refer to Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Management

 

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities, calls and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

 

The Company regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits with other banks and short- and intermediate-term securities. The Company believes that it had sufficient liquidity at March 31, 2019 to satisfy its short- and long-term liquidity needs.

 

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and due from banks, which totaled $76.3 million at March 31, 2019. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Unpledged securities, which provide an additional source of liquidity, totaled $85.0 million at March 31, 2019. In addition, at March 31, 2019, the Company had the ability to borrow up to $373.4 million from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, of which $37.7 million was utilized toward standby letters of credit. The Company also has the ability to borrow up to $107.0 million from the FRB through its Borrower-In-Custody line of credit agreement and the Company also maintains multiple line of credit arrangements with various unaffiliated banks totaling $60.0 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

At March 31, 2019, time deposits due within one year of that date totaled $88.1 million, or 40.4% of total time deposits. If these time deposits do not remain with the Company, the Company will be required to seek other sources of funds. Depending on market conditions, the Company may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than it currently pays on these certificates of deposit. The Company believes, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of its certificates of deposit will remain with it, either as certificates of deposit or as other deposit products. The Company has the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

CB Financial is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its shareholders and for other corporate purposes. Its primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to CB Financial is subject to regulatory limitations. At March 31, 2019, CB Financial (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $3.0 million.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, we monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. The marginal cost of new funding, however, whether from deposits or borrowings from the FHLB, will be carefully considered as we monitor our liquidity needs. Therefore, in order to minimize our cost of funds, we may consider additional borrowings from the FHLB in the future.

 

Capital Management. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, each must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Under the Regulatory Capital Rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier I capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The capital conservation buffer, which is composed of common equity Tier I capital, began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and was phased in over a three year period (increasing by that amount on each January 1, until it reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019).

 

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The following table presents the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as the minimum amounts and ratios required to be well capitalized as of the dates indicated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

 

The Company believes that as of March 31, 2019, there was no material change in the quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk data as of December 31, 2018, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded as of March 31, 2019, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the following:

 

In connection with the preparation of our interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, we concluded that there was a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as defined in SEC Regulation S-X. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A description of the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is as follows:

 

The design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to management’s review of our consolidated financial results did not operate at a level of precision sufficient to allow for accurate reporting of our consolidated financial results. Our consolidation process is substantially a manual process and inherently subject to error. During the preparation and review of our interim and annual consolidated financial statements, management was unable to perform adequate review and detect a classification error within the loan classification segments impacting commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and residential real estate loans, which are disclosed in the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements at a sufficient level of precision to prevent or detect reclassification misstatement. As a result, we corrected loan classifications for related loan segments in order to prepare the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

Although this control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement in our interim and annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, it created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded the deficiency represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Also a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 18, 2019 continues to exist as of March 31, 2019.

 

As a result of the material weakness identified as of March 31, 2019 and noted above and the material weakness discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

(b)Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter the Company made the following changes to its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act in order to remediate the above material weaknesses:

 

• implementation of recruitment for experienced accounting staff;

 

• a thorough review of the finance and loan departments to ensure that the areas of responsibilities are properly matched to the staff competencies and that the lines of communication and processes are as effective as possible;

 

• a thorough review of the processes and procedures used in the Company’s loan classification; and

 

• development of a standardized method for the review of loan disclosures.

 

Management believes the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies the Company has identified and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s internal control processes and will continue to diligently review the Company’s financial reporting controls and procedures. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve internal control over financial reporting, the Company may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures described above. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Although this control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement in our interim and annual consolidated financial statements, it created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore we concluded the deficiency represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
