NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Active subsidiaries include: EagleBank (the “Bank”), Eagle Insurance Services, LLC, Bethesda Leasing, LLC, and Landroval Municipal Finance, Inc., with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included herein are unaudited. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals that in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company applies the accounting policies contained in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s Accounting Policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 except as indicated in the “Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019” section below. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform to the current period presentation.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year, or for any other period.

Nature of Operations

The Company, through the Bank, conducts a full service community banking business, primarily in Northern Virginia, Suburban Maryland, and Washington, D.C. The primary financial services offered by the Bank include real estate, commercial and consumer lending, as well as traditional deposit and repurchase agreement products. The Bank is also active in the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans, the origination of small business loans, and the origination, securitization and sale of multifamily Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loans. The guaranteed portion of small business loans, guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), is typically sold to third party investors in a transaction apart from the loan’s origination. The Bank offers its products and services through twenty banking offices, five lending centers and various electronic capabilities, including remote deposit services and mobile banking services. Eagle Insurance Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Bank, offers access to insurance products and services through a referral program with a third party insurance broker. Landroval Municipal Finance, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, focuses on lending to municipalities by buying debt on the public market as well as direct purchase issuance.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 has, among other things, required lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 did not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2016-02 became effective for us on January 1, 2019 and initially required transition using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements,” which, among other things, provides an additional transition method that allows entities to not apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements and instead recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” which provides for certain policy elections and changes lessor accounting for sales and similar taxes and certain lessor costs. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 on January 1, 2019, we recognized ROU assets of $29.6 million and related lease liabilities of $33.5 million which reduced the March 31, 2019 total risk based capital ratio by six basis points. We elected to apply certain practical expedients provided under ASU 2016-02 whereby we did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASU 2016-02 to any short-term leases (as defined by related accounting guidance). We utilized the modified-retrospective transition approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption

ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326).” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance for determining the allowance for credit losses delays recognition of expected future credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. Entities will apply any changes resulting from the application of the new standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). We have substantially concluded our data gap analysis and have contracted with third parties to develop and evaluate a model to comply with CECL requirements. We have entered our data into the model and are working on the qualitative and forecasting aspects of the methodology. We have established a steering committee with representation from various departments across the enterprise. The committee has agreed to a project plan and has regular meetings to ensure adherence to our implementation timeline. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Cash and Due from Banks

Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act requires that banks maintain noninterest reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank based principally on the type and amount of their deposits. During 2019, the Bank maintained balances at the Federal Reserve sufficient to meet reserve requirements, as well as significant excess reserves, on which interest is paid.

Additionally, the Bank maintains interest bearing balances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and noninterest bearing balances with domestic correspondent banks as compensation for services they provide to the Bank.

The unrealized losses that exist are generally the result of changes in market interest rates and interest spread relationships since original purchases. The weighted average duration of debt securities, which comprise 99.9% of total investment securities, is relatively short at 3.0 years. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. The Company does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2019 represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments available-for-sale at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by contractual maturity are shown in the table below. Expected maturities for residential mortgage backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, gross realized gains on sales of investments securities were $1.5 million, primarily due to $829 thousand of noninterest income recognized during March 2019 on interest rate swap terminations, and there were no gross realized losses on sales of investment securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, gross realized gains on sales of investments securities were $93 thousand and gross realized losses on sales of investment securities were $25 thousand.

Proceeds from sales and calls of investment securities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $42.1 million compared to $29.0 million for the same period in 2018.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral for certain government deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and certain lines of credit with correspondent banks at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $460.6 million and $528.2 million, respectively, which is well in excess of required amounts in order to operationally provide significant reserve amounts for new business. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and U.S. agency securities, which exceeded ten percent of shareholders’ equity.

Note 4. Mortgage Banking Derivative

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Bank then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Bank determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates, taking into consideration the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to any MBS to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Bank does not close the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to deliver MBS to the counterparty under the forward sales agreement. Should this be required, the Bank could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans or MBS and such costs could have an adverse effect on mortgage banking operations.

The fair value of the mortgage banking derivatives is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

At June 30, 2019 the Bank had mortgage banking derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $124.5 million related to its forward contracts as compared to $49.6 million at December 31, 2018. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivative instruments at June 30, 2019 was $387 thousand included in other assets and $309 thousand included in other liabilities as compared to $229 thousand included in other assets and $269 thousand included in other liabilities at December 31, 2018.

Included in other noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was a net gain of $84 thousand and a net gain $219 thousand, respectively, relating to mortgage banking derivative instruments as compared to a net gain of $55 thousand and net loss of $31 thousand as of June 30, 2018. The amount included in other noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 pertaining to its mortgage banking hedging activities was a net realized loss of $94 thousand and a net realized loss of $49 thousand, respectively, as compared to a net realized loss of $147 thousand and a net realized loss of $56 thousand as of June 30, 2018.

Note 5. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Bank makes loans to customers primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and surrounding communities. A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of loans to businesses secured by real estate and other business assets.

Loans, net of unamortized net deferred fees, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized by type as follows:

	June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018

Less: allowance for credit losses		(72,086	)					(69,944	)
Net loans	$	7,320,529					$	6,921,503

Unamortized net deferred fees amounted to $25.2 million and $26.5 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank serviced $101.8 million and $111.1 million, respectively, of multifamily FHA loans, SBA loans and other loan participations which are not reflected as loan balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loan Origination / Risk Management

The Company’s goal is to mitigate risks in the event of unforeseen threats to the loan portfolio as a result of economic downturn or other negative influences. Plans for mitigating inherent risks in managing loan assets include: carefully enforcing loan policies and procedures, evaluating each borrower’s business plan during the underwriting process and throughout the loan term, identifying and monitoring primary and alternative sources for loan repayment, and obtaining collateral to mitigate economic loss in the event of liquidation. Specific loan reserves are established based upon credit and/or collateral risks on an individual loan basis. A risk rating system is employed to proactively estimate loss exposure and provide a measuring system for setting general and specific reserve allocations.

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio is heavily weighted toward commercial real estate, both owner occupied and income producing real estate. At June 30, 2019, owner occupied - commercial real estate and construction - C&I (owner occupied) represent approximately 14% of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2019, non-owner occupied commercial real estate and real estate construction represented approximately 64% of the loan portfolio. The combined owner occupied and commercial real estate loans represent approximately 78% of the loan portfolio. Real estate also serves as collateral for loans made for other purposes, resulting in 84% of all loans being secured by real estate. These loans are underwritten to mitigate lending risks typical of this type of loan such as declines in real estate values, changes in borrower cash flow and general economic conditions. The Bank typically requires a maximum loan to value of 80% and minimum cash flow debt service coverage of 1.15 to 1.0. Personal guarantees may be required, but may be limited. In making real estate commercial mortgage loans, the Bank generally requires that interest rates adjust not less frequently than five years.

The Company is also an active traditional commercial lender providing loans for a variety of purposes, including working capital, equipment and account receivable financing. This loan category represents approximately 20% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2019 and was generally variable or adjustable rate. Commercial loans meet reasonable underwriting standards, including appropriate collateral and cash flow necessary to support debt service. Personal guarantees are generally required, but may be limited. SBA loans represent approximately 2% of the commercial loan category. In originating SBA loans, the Company assumes the risk of non-payment on the unguaranteed portion of the credit as well as potential repairs to the SBA guarantees. The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of the loan generating noninterest income from the gains on sale, as well as servicing income on the portion participated. SBA loans are subject to the same cash flow analyses as other commercial loans. SBA loans are subject to a maximum loan size established by the SBA as well as internal loan size guidelines.

Approximately 1% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2019 consists of home equity loans and lines of credit and other consumer loans. These credits, while making up a small portion of the loan portfolio, demand the same emphasis on underwriting and credit evaluation as other types of loans advanced by the Bank.

Approximately 1% of the loan portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans. The repricing duration of these loans was 20 months. These credits represent first liens on residential property loans originated by the Bank. While the Bank’s general practice is to originate and sell (servicing released) loans made by its Residential Lending department, from time to time certain loan characteristics do not meet the requirements of third party investors and these loans are instead maintained in the Bank’s portfolio until they are resold to another investor at a later date or mature.

Loans are secured primarily by duly recorded first deeds of trust or mortgages. In some cases, the Bank may accept a recorded junior trust position. In general, borrowers will have a proven ability to build, lease, manage and/or sell a commercial or residential project and demonstrate satisfactory financial condition. Additionally, an equity contribution toward the project is customarily required.

Construction loans require that the financial condition and experience of the general contractor and major subcontractors be satisfactory to the Bank. Guaranteed, fixed price contracts are required whenever appropriate, along with payment and performance bonds or completion bonds for larger scale projects.

Loans intended for residential land acquisition, lot development and construction are made on the premise that the land: 1) is or will be developed for building sites for residential structures, and; 2) will ultimately be utilized for construction or improvement of residential zoned real properties, including the creation of housing. Residential development and construction loans will finance projects such as single family subdivisions, planned unit developments, townhouses, and condominiums. Residential land acquisition, development and construction loans generally are underwritten with a maximum term of 36 months, including extensions approved at origination.

Commercial land acquisition and construction loans are secured by real property where loan funds will be used to acquire land and to construct or improve appropriately zoned real property for the creation of income producing or owner user commercial properties. Borrowers are generally required to put equity into each project at levels determined by the appropriate Loan Committee. Commercial land acquisition and construction loans generally are underwritten with a maximum term of 24 months.

Substantially all construction draw requests must be presented in writing on American Institute of Architects documents and certified either by the contractor, the borrower and/or the borrower’s architect. Each draw request shall also include the borrower’s soft cost breakdown certified by the borrower or their Chief Financial Officer. Prior to an advance, the Bank or its contractor inspects the project to determine that the work has been completed, to justify the draw requisition.

Commercial permanent loans are generally secured by improved real property which is generating income in the normal course of operation. Debt service coverage, assuming stabilized occupancy, must be satisfactory to support a permanent loan. The debt service coverage ratio is ordinarily at least 1.15 to 1.0. As part of the underwriting process, debt service coverage ratios are stress tested assuming a 200 basis point increase in interest rates from their current levels.

Commercial permanent loans generally are underwritten with a term not greater than 10 years or the remaining useful life of the property, whichever is lower. The preferred term is between 5 to 7 years, with amortization to a maximum of 25 years.

The Company’s loan portfolio includes ADC real estate loans including both investment and owner occupied projects. ADC loans amounted to $1.62 billion at June 30, 2019. A portion of the ADC portfolio, both speculative and non-speculative, includes loan funded interest reserves at origination. ADC loans that provide for the use of interest reserves represent approximately 71% of the outstanding ADC loan portfolio at June 30, 2019. The decision to establish a loan-funded interest reserve is made upon origination of the ADC loan and is based upon a number of factors considered during underwriting of the credit including: (1) the feasibility of the project; (2) the experience of the sponsor; (3) the creditworthiness of the borrower and guarantors; (4) borrower equity contribution; and (5) the level of collateral protection. When appropriate, an interest reserve provides an effective means of addressing the cash flow characteristics of a properly underwritten ADC loan. The Company recognizes that one of the risks inherent in the use of interest reserves is the potential masking of underlying problems with the project and/or the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. In order to mitigate this inherent risk, the Company employs a series of reporting and monitoring mechanisms on all ADC loans, whether or not an interest reserve is provided, including: (1) construction and development timelines which are monitored on an ongoing basis which track the progress of a given project to the timeline projected at origination; (2) a construction loan administration department independent of the lending function; (3) third party independent construction loan inspection reports; (4) monthly interest reserve monitoring reports detailing the balance of the interest reserves approved at origination and the days of interest carry represented by the reserve balances as compared to the then current anticipated time to completion and/or sale of speculative projects; and (5) quarterly commercial real estate construction meetings among senior Company management, which includes monitoring of current and projected real estate market conditions. If a project has not performed as expected, it is not the customary practice of the Company to increase loan funded interest reserves.

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

At June 30, 2019, nonperforming loans acquired from Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation (“Fidelity”) and Virginia Heritage Bank (“Virginia Heritage”) have a carrying value of $273 thousand and $155 thousand, respectively, and an unpaid principal balance of $323 thousand and $968 thousand, respectively, and were evaluated separately in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” At December 31, 2018, nonperforming loans acquired from Fidelity and Virginia Heritage had a carrying value of $282 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, and an unpaid principal balance of $332 thousand and $995 thousand, respectively, and were evaluated separately in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30. The various impaired loans were recorded at estimated fair value with any excess being charged-off or treated as a non-accretable discount. Subsequent downward adjustments to the valuation of impaired loans acquired will result in additional loan loss provisions and related allowance for credit losses.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicators are to use an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans into pass, watch, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass:

Loans in all classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.

Watch:

Loan paying as agreed with generally acceptable asset quality; however the obligor’s performance has not met expectations. Balance sheet and/or income statement has shown deterioration to the point that the obligor could not sustain any further setbacks. Credit is expected to be strengthened through improved obligor performance and/or additional collateral within a reasonable period of time.

Special Mention:

Loans in the classes that comprise the commercial portfolio segment that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. The special mention credit quality indicator is not used for classes of loans that comprise the consumer portfolio segment. Management believes that there is a moderate likelihood of some loss related to those loans that are considered special mention.

Classified:

Classified (a) Substandard - Loans inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual loans classified substandard.

Classified (b) Doubtful - Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

The Company’s credit quality indicators are updated generally on a quarterly basis, but no less frequently than annually. The following table presents by class and by credit quality indicator, the recorded investment in the Company’s loans and leases as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table presents, by class of loan, information related to nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

The following table presents, by class of loan, information related to impaired loans for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Modifications

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested. Commercial mortgage and construction loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period. As of June 30, 2019, all performing TDRs were categorized as interest-only modifications.

Loans modified in a TDR for the Company may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired consumer and commercial loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates.

The following table presents by class, the recorded investment of loans modified in TDRs held by the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Company had eleven TDR’s at June 30, 2019 totaling approximately $11.4 million. Seven of these loans totaling approximately $8.6 million are performing under their modified terms. There was one performing TDR totaling $2.3 million that defaulted on its modified terms which was reclassified to nonperforming loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were two performing TDRs totaling $937 thousand that defaulted on their modified terms which were reclassified to nonperforming loans. A default is considered to have occurred once the TDR is past due 90 days or more or it has been placed on nonaccrual. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was one restructured loan totaling approximately $4.8 million that had its collateral property sold for approximately $3 million and the remaining $1.8 million was charged-off during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2018, there was one defaulted loan totaling approximately $315 thousand that was charged-off. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was one loan totaling $10.4 million that was re-underwritten into two new loans which provided better collateral for the Bank, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, there was one loan totaling $274 thousand that was partially paid off from the sale proceeds of the business which totaled approximately $236 thousand. The remaining balance on the loan of $38 thousand was charged-off. Commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there were no loans modified in a TDR, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 which had two loans totaling $4.0 million modified in a TDR.

Note 6. Leases

A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.

Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branch offices, ATM locations, and corporate office space. Substantially all of our leases are classified as operating leases, and as such, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements were required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $28.2 million of operating lease ROU assets and $31.7 million of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company elects not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases, leases with initial terms of twelve months or less, or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Our leases contain terms and conditions of options to extend or terminate the lease which are recognized as part of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when an economic benefit to exercise the option exists and there is a 90% probability that the Company will exercise the option. If these criteria are not met, the options are not included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities.

As of June 30, 2019, our leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or impose restrictions or covenants related to dividends or the Company’s ability to incur additional financial obligations. As of June 30, 2019, there were no leases that have been signed but did not yet commence as of the reporting date that create significant rights and obligations for the Company.

The following table presents lease costs and other lease information.

Note 7 – Affordable Housing Projects Tax Credit Partnerships

Included in Other Assets, the Company makes equity investments in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of affordable housing products offerings, and to assist in achieving goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act. The primary activities of the limited partnerships include the identification, development, and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. Generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity.

The Company is a limited partner in each LIHTC limited partnership. Each limited partnership is managed by an unrelated third party general partner who exercises significant control over the affairs of the limited partnership. The general partner has all the rights, powers and authority granted or permitted to be granted to a general partner of a limited partnership. Duties entrusted to the general partner of each limited partnership include, but are not limited to: investment in operating companies, company expenditures, investment of excess funds, borrowing funds, employment of agents, disposition of fund property, prepayment and refinancing of liabilities, votes and consents, contract authority, disbursement of funds, accounting methods, tax elections, bank accounts, insurance, litigation, cash reserve, and use of working capital reserve funds. Except for limited rights granted to the limited partner(s) relating to the approval of certain transactions, the limited partner(s) may not participate in the operation, management, or control of the limited partnership’s business, transact any business in the limited partnership’s name or have any power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the limited partnership. In addition, the general partner may only be removed by the limited partner(s) in the event the general partner fails to comply with the terms of the agreement or is negligent in performing its duties.

The general partner of each limited partnership has both the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect the performance of each partnership and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entities. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any LIHTC partnership. The Company accounts for its affordable housing tax credit investments using the proportional amortization method. The Company’s net affordable housing tax credit investments were $28.8 million and related unfunded commitments were $15.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and are included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company’s net affordable housing tax credit investments were $28.2 million and related unfunded commitments were $15.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

Note 8. Other Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to assist in its interest rate risk management. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is to add stability to interest expense and to better manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy intended to mitigate the potential risk of rising interest rates on the Bank’s cost of funds. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges do not represent amounts exchanged by the counterparties, but rather, the notional amount is used to determine, along with other terms of the derivative, the amounts to be exchanged between the counterparties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from one counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. The Company’s intent is to hedge its exposure to the variability in potential future interest rate conditions on existing financial instruments.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had one designated cash flow hedge notional interest rate swap transaction outstanding amounting to $100 million associated with the Company’s variable rate deposits, as compared to three designated cash flow hedge notional interest rate swap transactions outstanding as of December 31, 2018 amounting to $250 million associated with the Company’s variable rate deposits. The decline in the amount of hedged variable rate deposits was due to a reduction in such deposits. The net unrealized loss before income tax on the swap was $101 thousand at June 30, 2019 compared to a net unrealized gain before income tax of $3.7 million at December 31, 2018. The unrealized loss in value since year end 2018 was due to the termination of two of the interest rate swap transactions as part of the Company’s asset liability strategy. As a result of the swap terminations, the Company recognized $829 thousand in noninterest income during March 2019. Additionally, the Company will amortize $372 thousand of realized gain as a reduction to interest expense through the swap’s original maturity date of March 31, 2020.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to designated cash flow hedge derivatives will be reclassified to interest income/expense as interest payments are made/received on the Company’s variable-rate assets/liabilities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company reclassified $313 thousand related to designated cash flow hedge derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income to decrease interest expense. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates (based on existing interest rates) that $114 thousand will be reclassified as a decrease in interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate caps and swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company entered into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) with institutional counterparties, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the interest rate derivative counterparty. The Company minimizes this risk by entering into derivative contracts with only large, stable financial institutions, and the Company has not experienced, and does not expect, any losses from counterparty nonperformance on the interest rate derivatives. The Company monitors counterparty risk in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” In addition, the interest rate derivative agreements contain language outlining collateral-pledging requirements for each counterparty. Collateral must be posted when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits.

The interest rate derivative agreements detail: 1) that collateral be posted when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits associated with the secured party’s exposure; 2) 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; 3) 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 June 30, 2019, the aggregate fair value of derivative contracts with credit risk contingent features (i.e., containing collateral posting or termination provisions based on our capital status) that was in a net liability position totaled $101 thousand. The Company has a minimum collateral posting threshold with its derivative counterparty. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was not required to post collateral with its derivative counterparty against its obligations under this agreement. If the Company had breached any provisions under the agreement at June 30, 2019, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement at the termination value.

The table below identifies the balance sheet category and fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedge derivative instruments and non-designated hedges as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Balance Sheet Offsetting: Our designated cash flow hedge interest rate derivatives are eligible for offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subject to master netting arrangements. Our derivative transactions with 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. The Company generally offsets such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes. The table below presents a gross presentation, the effects of offsetting, and a net presentation of the Company’s cash flow hedge derivatives as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.

If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency debt securities, mortgage backed securities issued by Government Sponsored Entities (“GSE’s”) and municipal bonds. Securities classified as Level 3 include securities in less liquid markets, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value.

Loans held for sale: The Company has elected to carry loans held for sale at fair value. This election reduces certain timing differences in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and better aligns with the management of the portfolio from a business perspective. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Gains and losses on sales of residential mortgage loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses on sales of multifamily FHA securities are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to fair value adjustments as Level 2 valuation.

The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for loans held for sale measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Interest rate swap derivatives: These derivative instruments consist of interest rate swap agreements, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The Company’s derivative position is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is valued using models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from external market data providers and/or non-binding broker-dealer quotations. The fair value of the derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow models. These models’ key assumptions include the contractual terms of the respective contract along with significant observable inputs, including interest rates, yield curves, nonperformance risk and volatility. Derivative contracts are executed with a Credit Support Annex, which is a bilateral agreement that requires collateral postings when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits. These agreements protect the interests of the Company and its counterparties should either party suffer a credit rating deterioration.

Credit Risk Participation Agreements: The Company enters into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) with institutional counterparties, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. Accordingly, RPAs fall within Level 2.

Interest Rate Caps: the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (“cap”) with an institutional counterparty, under which the Company will receive cash if and when market rates exceed the cap’s strike rate. The fair value of the cap is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivative, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. Accordingly, the cap falls within Level 2.

Mortgage banking derivatives: The Company relies on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups. The Company also relies on an external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Impaired loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. The Company considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management has determined that nonaccrual loans and loans that have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring meet this impaired loan definition. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At June 30, 2019, substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3. For individually evaluated impaired loans, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation.

Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by quoted market price, if one exists.

Quoted market prices, if available, are shown as estimates of fair value. Because no quoted market prices exist for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair value of such instruments has been derived based on management’s assumptions with respect to future economic conditions, the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Accordingly, the net realizable value could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of individual financial instrument values and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Note 14. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Bank has entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement and Death Benefit Agreements (the “SERP Agreements”) with certain of the Bank’s executive officers, which upon the executive’s retirement, will provide for a stated monthly payment for such executive’s lifetime subject to certain death benefits described below. The retirement benefit is computed as a percentage of each executive’s projected average base salary over the five years preceding retirement, assuming retirement at age 67. The SERP Agreements provide that (a) the benefits vest ratably over six years of service to the Bank, with the executive receiving credit for years of service prior to entering into the SERP Agreement, (b) death, disability and change-in-control shall result in immediate vesting, and (c) the monthly amount will be reduced if retirement occurs earlier than age 67 for any reason other than death, disability or change-in-control. The SERP Agreements further provide for a death benefit in the event the retired executive dies prior to receiving 180 monthly installments, paid either in a lump sum payment or continued monthly installment payments, such that the executive’s beneficiary has received payment(s) sufficient to equate to a cumulative 180 monthly installments.

The SERP Agreements are unfunded arrangements maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits and comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Bank financed the retirement benefits by purchasing fixed annuity contracts with four insurance carriers in 2013 totaling $11.4 million that have been designed to provide a future source of funds for the lifetime retirement benefits of the SERP Agreements. The primary impetus for utilizing fixed annuities is a substantial savings in compensation expenses for the Bank as opposed to a traditional SERP Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the annuity contracts accrued $40 thousand of income offset by annual fees of $141 thousand, and $81 thousand of income offset by $150 thousand of annual fees, respectively, which were included in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the annuity contracts accrued $65 thousand of income offset by $110 thousand of annual fees, and $102 thousand of income offset by $119 thousand of annual fees, respectively, which were included in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The cash surrender value of the annuity contracts was $12.1 million and $12.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded benefit expense accruals of $101 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, for this post retirement benefit. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded benefit expense accruals of $385 thousand and $486 thousand, respectively, for this post retirement benefit.

Upon death of a named executive, the annuity contract related to such executive terminates. The Bank has purchased additional bank owned life insurance contracts, which would effectively finance payments (up to a 15 year certain amount) to the executives’ named beneficiaries.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates and periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report and the Management Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals, intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of Company operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. In some cases, forward- looking statements can be identified by use of such words as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue,” “should,” and similar words or phrases. These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally and in the Company’s market, interest rates and interest rate policy, competitive factors and other conditions, which by their nature are not susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant uncertainty. For details on factors that could affect these expectations, see the risk factors and other cautionary language included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in other periodic and current reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and the forward-looking statements are based, actual future operations and results in the future may differ materially from those indicated herein. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on any such forward looking statements.

GENERAL

The Company is a growth-oriented, one-bank holding company headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, which is currently celebrating twenty-one years of successful operations. The Company provides general commercial and consumer banking services through the Bank, its wholly owned banking subsidiary, a Maryland chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company was organized in October 1997, to be the holding company for the Bank. The Bank was organized in 1998 as an independent, community oriented, full service banking alternative to the super regional financial institutions, which dominate the Company’s primary market area. The Company’s philosophy is to provide superior, personalized service to its customers. The Company focuses on relationship banking, providing each customer with a number of services and becoming familiar with and addressing customer needs in a proactive, personalized fashion. The Bank currently has a total of twenty branch offices, including nine in Northern Virginia, six in Suburban Maryland, and five in Washington, D.C.

The Bank offers a broad range of commercial banking services to its business and professional clients as well as full service consumer banking services to individuals living and/or working primarily in the Bank’s market area. The Bank emphasizes providing commercial banking services to sole proprietors, small and medium-sized businesses, non-profit organizations and associations, and investors living and working in and near the primary service area. These services include the usual deposit functions of commercial banks, including business and personal checking accounts, “NOW” accounts and money market and savings accounts, business, construction, and commercial loans, residential mortgages and consumer loans, and cash management services. The Bank is also active in the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination of SBA loans. The residential mortgage loans are originated for sale to third-party investors, generally large mortgage and banking companies, under best efforts and mandatory delivery commitments with the investors to purchase the loans subject to compliance with pre-established criteria. The Bank generally sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans in a transaction apart from the loan origination generating noninterest income from the gains on sale, as well as servicing income on the portion participated. The Company originates multifamily FHA loans through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Multifamily Accelerated Program (“MAP”). The Company securitizes these loans through the Government National Mortgage Association (”Ginnie Mae”) MBS I program and sells the resulting securities in the open market to authorized dealers in the normal course of business and periodically bundles and sells the servicing rights. Bethesda Leasing, LLC, a subsidiary of the Bank, holds title to and manages other real estate owned (“OREO”) assets. Eagle Insurance Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Bank, offers access to insurance products and services through a referral program with a third party insurance broker. Additionally, the Bank offers investment advisory services through referral programs with third parties. Landroval Municipal Finance, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, focuses on lending to municipalities by buying debt on the public market as well as direct purchase issuance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The Company applies the accounting policies contained in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s Accounting Policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 except as indicated in “Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019” in Note 1.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $37.2 million compared to $37.3 million net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net income per basic common share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.08 compared to $1.09 for the same period in 2018. Net income per diluted common share was $1.08 for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Net income remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2019 relative to the same period in 2018 due to higher revenues (i.e. net interest income plus noninterest income) offset by higher expenses in the 2019 period. The provision for income taxes was $13.5 million, an increase of $959 thousand or 8% compared to the same period in 2018. The most significant portion of revenue is net interest income, which increased 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 ($81.3 million versus $78.2 million), resulting from growth in average earning assets of 10%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.74% as compared to 1.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized return on average common equity (“ROACE”) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 12.81% as compared to 14.93% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 14.08% as compared to 16.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decline in these ratios was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s net income was $71.0 million, a 3% decrease from the $73.0 million of net income for the same period in 2018. Net income per basic common share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.06 compared to $2.13 for the same period in 2018, a 3% decrease. Net income per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.05 compared to $2.12 for the same period in 2018, a 3% decrease.

The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 can be attributed primarily to $6.2 million in nonrecurring charges recognized during the first quarter of 2019 related to share based compensation awards and the retirement of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald D. Paul. The provision for income taxes was $25.4 million, an increase of $575 thousand or 2% compared to the same period in 2018. The most significant portion of revenue is net interest income, which increased 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over the same period in 2018 ($162.3 million versus $154.0 million), resulting from growth in average earning assets of 11%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported an annualized ROAA of 1.68% as compared to 1.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized ROACE for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 12.47% as compared to 14.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized ROATCE for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 13.73% as compared to 16.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decline in these ratios was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin.

The net interest margin, which measures the difference between interest income and interest expense (i.e. net interest income) as a percentage of earning assets, was 3.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 4.15% for the same period in 2018. Average earning asset yields increased 10 basis points to 5.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 5.11% for the same period in 2018. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 52 basis points (to 2.06% from 1.54%) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Combining the change in the yield on earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities, the net interest spread decreased by 42 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 (3.15% versus 3.57%).

The benefit of noninterest sources funding earning assets increased by 18 basis points to 76 basis points from 58 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2019 versus the same period in 2018. The combination of a 42 basis point decrease in the net interest spread and an 18 basis point increase in the value of noninterest sources resulted in a 24 basis point decrease in the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The Company considers the value of its noninterest sources of funds as very significant to its business model and its overall profitability.

The net interest margin was 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 4.16% for the same period in 2018. Average earning asset yields increased 20 basis points to 5.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 5.01% for the same period in 2018. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 64 basis points (to 2.01% from 1.37%) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Combining the change in the yield on earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities, the net interest spread decreased by 44 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 (3.20% versus 3.64%).

The benefit of noninterest sources funding earning assets increased by 25 basis points to 77 basis points from 52 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2019 versus the same period in 2018. The combination of a 44 basis point decrease in the net interest spread and a 25 basis point increase in the value of noninterest sources resulted in a 19 basis point decrease in the net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

The Company believes it has effectively managed its net interest margin and net interest income over the past twelve months as market interest rates (on average) have trended higher. This factor has been significant to overall earnings performance over the past twelve months as net interest income represents 93% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

For the first six months of 2019, total loans grew 6% over December 31, 2018, and average loans were 10% higher in the first six months of 2019 as compared to the first six months of 2018. At June 30, 2019, total deposits were slightly lower than deposits at December 31, 2018, while average deposits were 13% higher for the first six months of 2019 compared with the first six months of 2018.

In order to fund growth in average loans of 10% over the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, as well as sustain significant liquidity, the Company has relied on funding from interest bearing accounts primarily as a result of effectively building new and enhanced client relationships, and a focus on time deposits to lock in more fixed rate deposits at terms approximating 16 months.

In terms of the average asset composition or mix, loans, which generally have higher yields than securities and other earning assets, represented 87% of average earning assets for both the first six months of 2019 and 2018. For the first six months of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, average loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $648.1 million, a 10% increase, due primarily to growth in income producing - commercial real estate, owner occupied - commercial real estate, and commercial loans. Average investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to 10% and 8% of average earning assets, respectively. The combination of federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other banks and loans held for sale represented 4% of average earning assets for both the first six months of 2019 and 2018.

The provision for credit losses was $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 represented an annualized 0.08% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $848 thousand, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the second quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2019 were attributable primarily to commercial real estate loans ($1.5 million).

At June 30, 2019 the allowance for credit losses represented 0.98% of loans outstanding, as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2018. The allowance for credit losses represented 193% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2019, as compared to 430% at December 31, 2018. The lower ratio was due to an increase in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2019, substantially attributable to softness in the market for high-end residential properties.

Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased to $6.4 million from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a 15% increase, due substantially to $537 thousand higher gains on the sale of investment securities and $362 thousand higher gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans ($1.9 million versus $1.5 million) resulting from higher volume as compared to 2018. Residential mortgage loans closed were $152 million for the second quarter of 2019 versus $126 million for the second quarter of 2018.

The efficiency ratio, which measures the ratio of noninterest expense to total revenue, was 38.04% for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to 38.55% for the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest expenses totaled $33.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $32.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a 3% increase. Data processing expense increased by $199 thousand due primarily to the costs of software and infrastructure investments. Legal, accounting and professional fees increased $561 thousand from $2.2 million to $2.7 million, the reasons of which are further discussed in the “Noninterest Expense” section. Other expenses increased $448 thousand, due primarily to $354 thousand higher real estate and utility costs on special assets.

The provision for credit losses was $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The higher provisioning for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, is due primarily to higher net charge-offs. Net charge-offs of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented an annualized 0.13% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $1.8 million, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the first six months of 2018. Net charge-offs in the first six months of 2019 were attributable primarily to commercial real estate loans ($5.0 million) offset by a recovery in commercial loans ($162 thousand).

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased to $12.7 million from $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 17% increase, due substantially to $1.4 million higher gains on the sale of investment securities primarily due to $829 thousand of noninterest income recognized during March 2019 on interest rate swap terminations, and $288 thousand higher gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans ($3.2 million versus $2.9 million) resulting from higher volume as compared to 2018. Residential mortgage loans closed were $246 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 versus $226 million for the same period in 2018.

The efficiency ratio, which measures the ratio of noninterest expense to total revenue, was 40.95% for the first six months of 2019, as compared to 38.47% for the same period in 2018. Noninterest expenses totaled $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $63.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 13% increase. Cost increases for salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $6.7 million, due primarily to $6.2 million of nonrecurring charges related to share based compensation and the retirement of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald D. Paul, and secondly to increased overall headcount. Marketing and advertising expense increased by $188 thousand due primarily to increased digital, radio and television advertising spend. Data processing expense increased by $257 thousand due primarily to the costs of software and infrastructure investments. Legal, accounting, and professional fees decreased $703 thousand from $5.2 million to $4.4 million, the reasons of which are further discussed in the “Noninterest Expense” section. Other expenses increased $1.5 million, due primarily to broker fees ($554 thousand) and real estate and utility costs on special assets ($369 thousand).

The ratio of common equity to total assets increased to 13.66% at June 30, 2019 from 13.22% at December 31, 2018, due primarily to retained earnings. As discussed later in “Capital Resources and Adequacy,” the regulatory capital ratios of the Bank and Company remain above well capitalized levels.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are composed primarily of loans and investment securities. The cost of funds represents interest expense on deposits, customer repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Noninterest bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources (refer to discussion above under Results of Operations). Changes in the volume and mix of assets and funding sources, along with the changes in yields earned and rates paid, determine changes in net interest income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income increased 4% over the same period for 2018. Average loans increased by $691.0 million and average deposits increased by $624.9 million. The net interest margin was 3.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 4.15% for the same period in 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income increased 5% over the same period for 2018. Average loans increased by $648.1 million and average deposits increased by $773.8 million. The net interest margin was 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 4.16% for the same period in 2018. The Company believes its current net interest margin remains favorable compared to peer banking companies.

The tables below present the average balances and rates of the major categories of the Company’s assets and liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Included in the table is a measurement of interest rate spread and margin. Interest rate spread is the difference (expressed as a percentage) between the interest rate earned on earning assets less the interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. While the interest rate spread provides a quick comparison of earnings rates versus cost of funds, management believes that margin provides a better measurement of performance. The net interest margin (as compared to net interest spread) includes the effect of noninterest bearing sources in its calculation. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense charged to current earnings to fund the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is based on many factors which reflect management’s assessment of the risk in the loan portfolio. Those factors include historical losses, economic conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, volume and mix of the portfolio, performance of the portfolio, and internal loan processes of the Company and Bank.

Management has developed a comprehensive analytical process to monitor the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The process and guidelines were developed utilizing, among other factors, the guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies. The results of this process, in combination with conclusions of the Bank’s outside loan review consultant, support management’s assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance at the balance sheet date. Please refer to the discussion under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for an overview of the methodology management employs on a quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the allowance and the provisions charged to expense. Also, refer to the table at page 46 which reflects activity in the allowance for credit losses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the allowance for credit losses reflected $3.6 million in provision for credit losses and $1.5 million in net charge-offs during the period. The provision for credit losses was $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018. Net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 represented an annualized 0.08% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $848 thousand, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the second quarter of 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the allowance for credit losses reflected $7.0 million in provision for credit losses and $4.8 million in net charge-offs during the period. The provision for credit losses was $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2018. Net charge-offs of $4.8 million in the first six months of 2019 represented an annualized 0.13% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $1.8 million, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the first six months of 2018.

As part of its comprehensive loan review process, the Loan Committee or Credit Review Committee carefully evaluate loans which are past-due 30 days or more. The Committees make a thorough assessment of the conditions and circumstances surrounding each delinquent loan. The Bank’s loan policy requires that loans be placed on nonaccrual if they are ninety days past-due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Additionally, Credit Administration specifically analyzes the status of development and construction projects, sales activities and utilization of interest reserves in order to carefully and prudently assess potential increased levels of risk requiring additional reserves.

The maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio, with an adequate allowance for possible credit losses, will continue to be a primary management objective for the Company.

The following table sets forth activity in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated.

Nonperforming Assets

As shown in the table below, the Company’s level of nonperforming assets, which is comprised of loans delinquent 90 days or more, nonaccrual loans, which includes the nonperforming portion of TDRs, and OREO, totaled $38.8 million at June 30, 2019 representing 0.45% of total assets, as compared to $17.7 million of nonperforming assets, or 0.21% of total assets, at December 31, 2018. The increase in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2019, was substantially attributable to softness in the market for high-end residential properties.

The Company had no accruing loans 90 days or more past due at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Management remains attentive to early signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial conditions and to taking the appropriate action to mitigate risk. Furthermore, the Company is diligent in placing loans on nonaccrual status and believes, based on its loan portfolio risk analysis, that its allowance for credit losses, at 0.98% of total loans at June 30, 2019, is adequate to absorb potential credit losses within the loan portfolio at that date.

Included in nonperforming assets are loans that the Company considers to be impaired. Impaired loans are defined as those as to which we believe it is probable that we will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, as well as those loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR that have not shown a period of performance as required under applicable accounting standards. Valuation allowances for those loans determined to be impaired are evaluated in accordance with ASC Topic 310—“Receivables,” and updated quarterly. For collateral dependent impaired loans, the carrying amount of the loan is determined by current appraised value less estimated costs to sell the underlying collateral, which may be adjusted downward under certain circumstances for actual events and/or changes in market conditions. For example, current average actual selling prices less average actual closing costs on an impaired multi-unit real estate project may indicate the need for an adjustment in the appraised valuation of the project, which in turn could increase the associated ASC Topic 310 specific reserve for the loan. Generally, all appraisals associated with impaired loans are updated on a not less than annual basis.

Loans are considered to have been modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes unilateral concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions could include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Alternatively, management, from time-to-time and in the ordinary course of business, implements renewals, modifications, extensions, and/or changes in terms of loans to borrowers who have the ability to repay on reasonable market-based terms, as circumstances may warrant. Such modifications are not considered to be TDRs as the accommodation of a borrower’s request does not rise to the level of a concession if the modified transaction is at market rates and terms and/or the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty. For example: (1) adverse weather conditions may create a short term cash flow issue for an otherwise profitable retail business which suggests a temporary interest only period on an amortizing loan; (2) there may be delays in absorption on a real estate project which reasonably suggests extension of the loan maturity at market terms; or (3) there may be maturing loans to borrowers with demonstrated repayment ability who are not in a position at the time of maturity to obtain alternate long-term financing. The determination of whether a restructured loan is a TDR requires consideration of all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the change in terms, and the exercise of prudent business judgment. The Company had eleven TDR’s at June 30, 2019 totaling approximately $11.4 million. Seven of these loans totaling approximately $8.6 million are performing under their modified terms. There was one performing TDR totaling $2.3 million that defaulted on its modified terms which was reclassified to nonperforming loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were two performing TDRs totaling $937 thousand that defaulted on their modified terms which were reclassified to nonperforming loans. A default is considered to have occurred once the TDR is past due 90 days or more or it has been placed on nonaccrual. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was one restructured loan totaling approximately $4.8 million that had its collateral property sold for approximately $3 million and the remaining $1.8 million was charged-off during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2018, there was one defaulted loan totaling approximately $315 thousand that was charged-off. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was one loan totaling $10.4 million that was re-underwritten into two new loans which provided better collateral for the Bank, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, there was one loan totaling $274 thousand that was partially paid off from the sale proceeds of the business which totaled approximately $236 thousand, the remaining balance on the loan of $38 thousand was charged-off. Commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there were no loans modified in a TDR, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 which had two loans totaling $4.0 million modified in a TDR.

Total nonperforming loans amounted to $37.4 million at June 30, 2019 (0.51% of total loans) compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2018 (0.23% of total loans). The increase in the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at June 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018 was due to increased nonperforming loans substantially attributable to softness in the market for high-end residential properties.

Included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $1.4 million of OREO, consisting of one foreclosed property. The Company had one foreclosed property with a net carrying value of $1.4 million at June 30, 2018. OREO properties are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. It is the Company’s policy to obtain third party appraisals prior to foreclosure, and to obtain updated third party appraisals on OREO properties generally not less frequently than annually. Generally, the Company would obtain updated appraisals or evaluations where it has reason to believe, based upon market indications (such as comparable sales, legitimate offers below carrying value, broker indications and similar factors), that the current appraisal does not accurately reflect current value. There were no sales of OREO property during the first six months of 2019 and 2018.

The following table shows the amounts of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

Nonaccrual loans reported in the table above include one loan totaling $2.3 million that migrated from a performing TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 where there were two loans totaling $937 thousand that migrated from performing TDRs.

Significant variation in the amount of nonperforming loans may occur from period to period because the amount of nonperforming loans depends largely on the condition of a relatively small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio.

At June 30, 2019, there were $46.6 million of performing loans considered potential problem loans, defined as loans that are not included in the 90 day past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories. Potential problem loans decreased to $46.6 million at June 30, 2019 from $102.7 million at December 31, 2018. The Company has taken a conservative posture with respect to risk rating its loan portfolio. Based upon their status as potential problem loans, these loans receive heightened scrutiny and ongoing intensive risk management. Additionally, the Company’s loan loss allowance methodology incorporates increased reserve factors for certain loans considered potential problem loans as compared to the general portfolio. See “Provision for Credit Losses” for a description of the allowance methodology.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income includes service charges on deposits, gain on sale of loans, gain on sale of investment securities, income from BOLI and other income.

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased to $12.7 million from $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 17% increase. The increase was due substantially to $1.4 million higher gains on the sale of investment securities, primarily due to $829 thousand of noninterest income recognized during March 2019 on interest rate swap terminations, and $288 thousand higher gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans ($3.2 million versus $2.9 million) resulting from higher volume as compared to 2018. Residential mortgage loans closed were $246 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 versus $226 million for the same period in 2018. Gains on sale of FHA multifamily loan securities in the first six months of 2019 were $137 thousand versus $48 thousand in the same period of 2018.

Servicing agreements relating to the Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities program require the Company to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. The Company will generally recover funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements under the FHA insurance and guarantee program. However, in the interim, the Company must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. The Company must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and the Company would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At June 30, 2019, the Company had no funds advanced outstanding under FHA mortgage loan servicing agreements. To the extent the mortgage loans underlying the Company’s servicing portfolio experience delinquencies, the Company would be required to dedicate cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in collection efforts.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $154 thousand, or 9%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $1.6 million for the same period in 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $74 thousand, or 2%, from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $3.3 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease for the three and six month period was due primarily to a lower volume of insufficient funds and return item charges.

The Company originates residential mortgage loans and utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to sell those loans, servicing released. Loans sold are subject to repurchase in circumstances where documentation is deficient or the underlying loan becomes delinquent or pays off within a specified period following loan funding and sale. The Bank considers these potential recourse provisions to be a minimal risk, but has established a reserve under generally accepted accounting principles for possible repurchases. There were no repurchases due to fraud by the borrower during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The reserve amounted to $54 thousand at June 30, 2019 and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Bank does not originate “sub-prime” loans and has no exposure to this market segment.

The Company is an originator of SBA loans and its practice is to sell the guaranteed portion of those loans at a premium. Income from this source was $16 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $130 thousand for the same period in 2018. Income from this source was $124 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $300 thousand for the same period in 2018. Activity in SBA loan sales to secondary markets can vary widely from quarter to quarter.

Other income totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 6%. ATM fees decreased slightly to $368 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $373 thousand for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 1%. Noninterest fee income totaled $471 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 an increase of $40 thousand, or 9%, over the total for the same period in 2018.

Other income totaled $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 6%. ATM fees decreased to $681 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $728 thousand for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 6%. Noninterest fee income totaled $946 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 an increase of $72 thousand, or 8%, over the total for the same period in 2018.

Net investment gains were $563 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $26 thousand for the same period in 2018. Net investment gains were $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $68 thousand for the same period in 2018 primarily due to $829 thousand of noninterest income recognized during March 2019 on interest rate swap terminations.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment expenses, marketing and advertising, data processing, FDIC insurance, and other expenses.

Total noninterest expenses totaled $33.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $32.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a 3% increase. Total noninterest expenses totaled $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $63.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 13% increase.

Salaries and employee benefits were $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of less than 1%. Salaries and employee benefits were $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $34.7 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 19% due primarily to $6.2 million of nonrecurring charges related to share based compensation and the retirement of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald D. Paul and secondly to increased overall headcount.

At June 30, 2019, the Company’s full time equivalent staff numbered 496, as compared to 470 at December 31, 2018, and 479 at June 30, 2018.

Premises and equipment expenses amounted to $3.7 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a 6% decrease. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $126 thousand of sublease revenue as compared to $123 thousand for the same period in 2018. Premises and equipment expenses amounted to $7.5 million and $7.8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a 4% decrease. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $251 thousand of sublease revenue as compared to $256 thousand for the same period in 2018. Sublease revenue is accounted for as a reduction to premises and equipment expenses.

Marketing and advertising expenses were $1.3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Marketing and advertising expenses increased to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2018, an 8% increase, primarily due to increased digital, radio and television advertising spend.

Data processing expense increased to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.4 million for the same period in 2018, an 8% increase, due primarily to costs of software and infrastructure investments. Data processing expense increased to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $4.7 million for the same period in 2018, a 5% increase, due primarily to costs of software and infrastructure investments.

During the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company incurred legal, accounting and professional fees and expenses of $2.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which represented an increase of 26%. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company incurred legal, accounting and professional fees and expenses of $4.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively, which represented a decrease of 14%. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, these expenses related substantially to the Company’s engagement of independent accounting, legal and compliance consultants who conducted various investigations for the Company, in addition to consulting costs to enhance our governance and risk management systems. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, such expenses related primarily to legal fees and expenditures in connection with our responses to investigations and related document requests and subpoenas from government agencies examining matters, including the Company’s identification, classification and disclosure of related party transactions; the retirement of certain former officers and directors; and the relationship of the Company and certain of its former officers and directors with a local public official. The Company has D&O insurance that may provide reimbursement for all or part of advancement and indemnification costs requested by current and former officers and directors, and those costs cannot be estimated at this time. While we are unable to estimate the amount of these legal expenditures at this time, the Company expects that it will continue to incur elevated levels of legal and professional fees and expenses for at least the remainder of 2019 as it continues to cooperate with these investigations. Other than these increased costs, we do not believe at this time that the resolution of these investigations will be materially adverse to the Company. As a result of these ongoing investigations, there have been no regulatory restrictions placed on the Company’s ability to fully engage in its banking business as presently conducted. We are, however, unable to predict the duration, scope or outcome of these investigations.

FDIC insurance increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $951 thousand for the same period in 2018, an 18% increase. FDIC insurance increased to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2018, a 38% increase. The increase for the three and six month period was due to a higher assessment base and factors.

Other expenses increased to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.8 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 12%, due primarily to $354 thousand higher real estate and utility costs on special assets. The major components of cost in this category include broker fees, franchise taxes, core deposit intangible amortization, and insurance expense.

Other expenses increased to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $7.2 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 20%, due primarily to broker fees ($554 thousand) and real estate and utility costs on special assets ($369 thousand).

As a percentage of average assets, total noninterest expense (annualized) was 1.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 1.66% for the same period in 2018. As a percentage of average assets, total noninterest expense (annualized) was 1.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 1.65% for the same period in 2018.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income (“effective tax rate”) increased to 26.6% and 26.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to 25.1% and 25.4%, respectively, for the same period in 2018. The higher effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was due primarily to a decrease in federal tax credits and an increase in nondeductible expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary

Total assets at June 30, 2019 were $8.67 billion, a 3% increase as compared to $8.39 billion at December 31, 2018. Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $7.39 billion at June 30, 2019, a 6% increase as compared to $6.99 billion at December 31, 2018. Loans held for sale amounted to $37.5 million at June 30, 2019 as compared to $19.3 million at December 31, 2018, a 95% increase. The investment portfolio totaled $745.3 million at June 30, 2019, a 5% decrease from the $784.1 million balance at December 31, 2018.

Total deposits at June 30, 2019 were $6.95 billion, a slight decrease compared to deposits of $6.97 billion at December 31, 2018. Total borrowed funds (excluding customer repurchase agreements) were $442.5 million at June 30, 2019, of which $225.0 million were FHLB advances that subsequently matured in July 2019. The Company had $217.3 million in FHLB advances at December 31, 2018. We continue to work on expanding the breadth and depth of our existing relationships while we pursue building new relationships.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 increased 7%, from $1.11 billion at December 31, 2018 primarily as the result of growth in retained earnings. The Company’s capital position remains substantially in excess of regulatory requirements for well capitalized status, with a total risk based capital ratio of 16.36% at June 30, 2019 and 16.08% at December 31, 2018. In addition, the tangible common equity ratio was 12.60% at June 30, 2019 compared to 12.11% at December 31, 2018. Tangible book value per share was $31.25 at June 30, 2019, a 7% increase over $29.17 at December 31, 2018. Partly as a result of our strong capital position, the Company reinstituted a quarterly cash dividend in the second quarter of 2019. A $0.22 per share dividend was declared May 15^th to shareholders of record on May 31^st and was paid June 14, 2019.

Under the capital rules applicable to the Company and Bank, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have a common equity Tier 1 risk based capital (“CET1”) ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% and a leverage ratio of 5.0%. The Company and the Bank meet all these requirements, and satisfy the requirement to maintain the fully phased in capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital for capital adequacy purposes. Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer would limit the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.

Loans, net of amortized deferred fees and costs, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by major category are summarized below.

In its lending activities, the Company seeks to develop and expand relationships with clients whose businesses and individual banking needs will grow with the Bank. Superior customer service, local decision making, and accelerated turnaround time from application to closing have been significant factors in growing the loan portfolio, and meeting the lending needs in the markets served, while maintaining sound asset quality.

Loans outstanding reached $7.39 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $401.2 million, or 6%, as compared to $6.99 billion at December 31, 2018. Loan growth during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was predominantly in the income producing – commercial real estate and owner occupied – commercial real estate loan categories. Despite an increased level of in-market competition for business, the Bank continued to experience organic loan growth across the portfolio. Notwithstanding increased supply of units, multi-family commercial real estate leasing in the Bank’s market area has held up well, particularly for well-located close-in projects. While as a general comment there has been some softening in the Suburban Maryland office leasing market, in certain well located pockets and submarkets, the sector has evidenced some positive absorption. Overall, commercial real estate values have generally held up well with price escalation in prime pockets, but we continue to be cautious of the cap rates at which some assets are trading and we are being careful with valuations as a result. While the high-end real estate market has softened, the moderately priced housing market has remained stable to increasing, with well-located, Metro accessible properties garnering a premium.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

The principal sources of funds for the Bank are core deposits, consisting of demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. The deposit base includes transaction accounts, time and savings accounts and accounts which customers use for cash management and which provide the Bank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities, as well as an attractive source of lower cost funds. To meet funding needs during periods of high loan demand and seasonal variations in core deposits, the Bank utilizes alternative funding sources such as secured borrowings from the FHLB, federal funds purchased lines of credit from correspondent banks and brokered deposits from regional and national brokerage firms and Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC (“Promontory”).

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $230.3 million as compared to December 31, 2018, while interest bearing deposits increased by $205.9 million during the same period.

From time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, the Bank accepts brokered time deposits, generally in denominations of less than $250 thousand, from national brokerage networks, including Promontory. Additionally, the Bank participates in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and the Insured Cash Sweep product (“ICS”), which provides for reciprocal (“two-way”) transactions among banks facilitated by Promontory for the purpose of maximizing FDIC insurance. The Bank also is able to obtain one-way CDARS deposits and participates in Promontory’s Insured Network Deposit (“IND”). At June 30, 2019, total deposits included $1.71 billion of brokered deposits (excluding the CDARS and ICS two-way), which represented 25% of total deposits. At December 31, 2018, total brokered deposits (excluding the CDARS and ICS two-way) were $1.36 billion, or 20% of total deposits. The CDARS and ICS two-way component represented $517.3 million, or 7% of total deposits and $391.7 million or 6% of total deposits at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These sources are believed by the Company to represent a reliable and cost efficient alternative funding source for the Bank. However, to the extent that the condition or reputation of the Company or Bank deteriorates, or to the extent that there are significant changes in market interest rates which the Company and Bank do not elect to match, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits. In that event we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding.

At June 30, 2019 the Company had $1.87 billion in noninterest bearing demand deposits, representing 27% of total deposits, compared to $2.10 billion of noninterest bearing demand deposits at December 31, 2018, or 30% of total deposits. Average noninterest bearing deposits were 32% of total deposits for the first six months of 2019 and 33% for the first six months of 2018. The Bank also offers business NOW accounts and business savings accounts to accommodate those customers who may have excess short term cash to deploy in interest earning assets.

As an enhancement to the basic noninterest bearing demand deposit account, the Company offers a sweep account, or “customer repurchase agreement,” allowing qualifying businesses to earn interest on short-term excess funds which are not suited for either a certificate of deposit or a money market account. The balances in these accounts were $31.7 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $30.4 million at December 31, 2018. Customer repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not insured by the FDIC, but are collateralized by U.S. agency securities and/or U.S. agency backed mortgage backed securities. These accounts are particularly suitable to businesses with significant fluctuation in the levels of cash flows. Attorney and title company escrow accounts are examples of accounts which can benefit from this product, as are customers who may require collateral for deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits but do not qualify for other pledging arrangements. This program requires the Company to maintain a sufficient investment securities level to accommodate the fluctuations in balances which may occur in these accounts.

At June 30, 2019 the Company had $1.50 billion in time deposits. Time deposits increased by $173.9 million from year end December 31, 2018. The Bank raises and renews time deposits through its branch network, for its public funds customers, and through brokered CDs to meet the needs of its community of savers and as part of its interest rate risk management and liquidity planning.

The Company had no outstanding balances under its federal funds lines of credit provided by correspondent banks (which are unsecured) at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Bank had $225.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under its credit facility from the FHLB at June 30, 2019. The Bank did not have short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2018. Outstanding FHLB advances are secured by collateral consisting of a blanket lien on qualifying loans in the Bank’s commercial mortgage, residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios.

Long-term borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2019 included the Company’s August 5, 2014 issuance of $70.0 million of subordinated notes, due September 1, 2024 and the Company’s July 26, 2016 issuance of $150.0 million of subordinated notes, due August 1, 2026. For additional information on the subordinated notes, please refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s and Bank’s ability to meet loan demand and to satisfy depositor withdrawal requirements in an orderly manner. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash balances due from correspondent banks, excess reserves at the Federal Reserve, loan repayments, federal funds sold and other short-term investments, maturities and sales of investment securities, income from operations and new core deposits into the Bank. The Bank’s investment portfolio of debt securities is held in an available-for-sale status which allows for flexibility, subject to holdings held as collateral for customer repurchase agreements, and public funds, to generate cash from sales as needed to meet ongoing loan demand. These sources of liquidity are considered primary and are supplemented by the ability of the Company and Bank to borrow funds or issue brokered deposits, which are termed secondary sources of liquidity and which are substantial. Additionally, the Bank can purchase up to $172.5 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis from its correspondents, against which there was no amount outstanding at June 30, 2019, and can obtain unsecured funds under one-way CDARS and ICS brokered deposits in the amount of $1.30 billion, against which there was $181.4 million outstanding at June 30, 2019. The Bank also has a commitment from Promontory to place up to $700.0 million of brokered deposits from its IND program in amounts requested by the Bank, as compared to an actual balance of $407.3 million at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019 the Bank was also eligible to make advances from the FHLB up to $1.6 billion based on collateral at the FHLB, of which there was $225 million outstanding at June 30, 2019. The Bank may enter into repurchase agreements as well as obtain additional borrowing capabilities from the FHLB provided adequate collateral exists to secure these lending relationships. The Bank also has a back-up borrowing facility through the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Federal Reserve Bank”). This facility, which amounts to approximately $661.0 million, is collateralized with specific loan assets identified to the Federal Reserve Bank. It is anticipated that, except for periodic testing, this facility would be utilized for contingency funding only.

The loss of deposits, through disintermediation, is one of the greater risks to liquidity. Disintermediation occurs most commonly when rates rise and depositors withdraw deposits seeking higher rates in alternative savings and investment sources than the Bank may offer. The Bank was founded under a philosophy of relationship banking and, therefore, believes that it has less of an exposure to disintermediation and resultant liquidity concerns than do many banks. The Bank makes competitive deposit interest rate comparisons weekly and feels its interest rate offerings are competitive. There is, however, a risk that some deposits would be lost if rates were to increase and the Bank elected not to remain competitive with its deposit rates. Under those conditions, the Bank believes that it is well positioned to use other sources of funds such as FHLB borrowings, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements and correspondent banks’ lines of credit to offset a decline in deposits in the short run. Over the long-term, an adjustment in assets and change in business emphasis could compensate for a potential loss of deposits. The Bank also maintains a marketable investment portfolio to provide flexibility in the event of significant liquidity needs. The Asset Liability Committee of the Bank (“ALCO”) and the full Board of Directors of the Bank have adopted policy guidelines which emphasize the importance of core deposits, adequate asset liquidity and a contingency funding plan.

At June 30, 2019, under the Bank’s liquidity formula, it had $4.26 billion of primary and secondary liquidity sources. The amount is deemed adequate to meet current and projected funding needs.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Loan commitments outstanding and lines and letters of credit at June 30, 2019 are as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	2019
Unfunded loan commitments	$	2,398,984
Unfunded lines of credit		90,902
Letters of credit		78,525
Total	$	2,568,411

Unfunded loan commitments are agreements whereby the Bank has made a commitment and the borrower has accepted the commitment to lend to a customer as long as there is satisfaction of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee before the commitment period is extended. In many instances, borrowers are required to meet performance milestones in order to draw on a commitment as is the case in construction loans, or to have a required level of collateral in order to draw on a commitment, as is the case in asset based lending credit facilities. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of June 30, 2019, unfunded loan commitments included $103.4 million related to interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans and were of a short-term nature.

Unfunded lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Letters of credit include standby and commercial letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by the Bank’s customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally become payable upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. Standby letters of credit are generally not drawn. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The contractual amount of these letters of credit represents the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Bank. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount it is required to pay to a third party under a letter of credit, and holds cash and or other collateral on those standby letters of credit for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Asset/Liability Management and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A fundamental risk in banking is exposure to market risk, or interest rate risk, since a bank’s net income is largely dependent on net interest income. The Bank’s ALCO formulates and monitors the management of interest rate risk through policies and guidelines established by it and the full Board of Directors and through review of detailed reports discussed quarterly. In its consideration of risk limits, the ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital, the level and direction of interest rates, liquidity, local economic conditions, outside threats and other factors. Banking is generally a business of managing the maturity and re-pricing mismatch inherent in its asset and liability cash flows and to provide net interest income growth consistent with the Company’s profit objectives.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, the Company was able to increase its net interest income by 4%, produce a net interest margin of 3.91%, and continue to manage its overall interest rate risk position.

The Company, through its ALCO and ongoing financial management practices, monitors the interest rate environment in which it operates and adjusts the rates and maturities of its assets and liabilities to remain competitive and to achieve its overall financial objectives subject to established risk limits. In the current and expected future interest rate environment, the Company has been maintaining its investment portfolio to manage the balance between yield and prepayment risk in its portfolio of mortgage backed securities should interest rates remain at current levels. Further, the Company has been managing the investment portfolio to mitigate extension risk and related declines in market values in that same portfolio should interest rates increase. Additionally, the Company has limited call risk in its U.S. agency investment portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the average investment portfolio balances increased as compared to balances at June 30, 2018, but decreased from December 31, 2018. The cash received from deposit growth along with cash flows from the investment portfolio were deployed into loans and the purchase of replacement investments.

The percentage mix of municipal securities was 9% of total investments at June 30, 2019 and 8% at June 30, 2018. The portion of the portfolio invested in mortgage backed securities was 69% at both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. The portion of the portfolio invested in U.S. agency investments was 20% at June 30, 2019 and 23% at June 30, 2018. Shorter duration floating rate corporate bonds were 1% of total investments at both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and SBA bonds, which are included in mortgage backed securities, were 10% of total investments at both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Over the past 12 months, as a result of generally lower interest rates, mortgage prepayment speeds increased and the duration of the investment portfolio decreased to 3.0 years at June 30, 2019 from 3.8 years at June 30, 2018.

The re-pricing duration of the loan portfolio was 19 months at June 30, 2019 versus 17 months at December 31, 2018, with fixed rate loans amounting to 40% and 34% of total loans at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Variable and adjustable rate loans comprised 60% and 66% of total loans at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Variable rate loans are generally indexed to either the one month LIBOR interest rate, or the Wall Street Journal prime interest rate, while adjustable rate loans are indexed primarily to the five year U.S. Treasury interest rate.

The duration of the deposit portfolio increased to 28 months at June 30, 2019 from 26 months at December 31, 2018. The change since December 31, 2018 was due substantially to a change in the mix and duration of time deposits as markets interest rates decreased and customers anticipated continuing rate declines. Additionally, the Bank maintained a higher percentage of fixed rate time deposits at June 30, 2019 than was the case in December 31, 2018.

The Company has continued its emphasis on funding loans in its marketplace, and has been able to achieve favorable loan pricing, although competition for new loans persists. A disciplined approach to loan pricing, with variable and adjustable rate loans comprising 60% of total loans (at June 30, 2019), has resulted in a loan portfolio yield of 5.61% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 5.53% for the same period in 2018. Variable and adjustable rate loans provide additional income opportunities should interest rates rise from current levels.

The net unrealized gain before income tax on the investment portfolio was $5.2 million at June 30, 2019 as compared to a net unrealized loss before tax of $9.5 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in the net unrealized gain on the investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018 was due primarily to lower interest rates at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, the net unrealized gain position represented 0.7% of the investment portfolio’s book value.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its optimal asset liability mix, as a result of competitive pressures, customer preferences and the inability to perfectly forecast future interest rates and movements.

One of the tools used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk is a static GAP analysis presented below. The Company also employs an earnings simulation model on a quarterly basis to monitor its interest rate sensitivity and risk and to model its balance sheet cash flows and the related income statement effects in different interest rate scenarios. The model utilizes current balance sheet data and attributes and is adjusted for assumptions as to investment maturities (including prepayments), loan prepayments, interest rates, and the level of noninterest income and noninterest expense. The data is then subjected to a “shock test” which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points or down 100 and 200, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero. The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, net income and the market equity over the next twelve and twenty-four month periods from June 30, 2019. In addition to analysis of simultaneous changes in interest rates along the yield curve, changes based on interest rate “ramps” is also performed. This analysis represents the impact of a more gradual change in interest rates, as well as yield curve shape changes.

For the analysis presented below, at June 30, 2019, the simulation assumes a 50 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in a decreasing interest rate shock scenario with a floor of 10 basis points, and assumes a 70 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in an increasing interest rate shock scenario.

As quantified in the table below, the Company’s analysis at June 30, 2019 shows a moderate effect on net interest income (over the next 12 months) as well as a moderate effect on the economic value of equity when interest rates are shocked both down 100 and 200 basis points and up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. This moderate impact is due substantially to the significant level of variable rate and re-priceable assets and liabilities and related shorter relative durations. The re-pricing duration of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2019 is 3.0 years, the loan portfolio 1.6 years, the interest bearing deposit portfolio 2.3 years, and the borrowed funds portfolio 1.5 years.

The following table reflects the result of simulation analysis on the June 30, 2019 asset and liabilities balances:

Change in interest rates (basis points)	Percentage change in net interest income	Percentage change in net income	Percentage change in market value of portfolio equity

+400	+16.6%	+28.8%	+3.9%
+300	+12.5%	+21.6%	+3.6%
+200	+8.4%	+14.5%	+3.1%
+100	+4.2%	+7.3%	+2.0%
0	—	—	—
-100	-3.8%	-6.6%	-3.0%
-200	-5.7%	-9.9%	-7.7%

The results of simulation are within the policy limits adopted by the Company. For net interest income, the Company has adopted a policy limit of -10% for a 100 basis point change, -12% for a 200 basis point change, -18% for a 300 basis point change and -24% for a 400 basis point change. For the market value of equity, the Company has adopted a policy limit of -12% for a 100 basis point change, -15% for a 200 basis point change, -25% for a 300 basis point change and -30% for a 400 basis point change. The changes in net interest income, net income and the economic value of equity in both a higher and lower interest rate shock scenario at June 30, 2019 are not considered to be excessive. The positive impact of +4.2% in net interest income and +7.3% in net income given a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates reflects in large measure the impact of variable rate loans and fed funds sold repricing counteracting the repricing of interest bearing deposits and floating rate FHLB advances.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company continued to manage its interest rate sensitivity position to moderate levels of risk, as indicated in the simulation results above. The interest rate risk position at June 30, 2019 was similar to the interest rate risk position at December 31, 2018.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that limit changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate increase.

During the second quarter of 2019, average market interest rates decreased across the yield curve. Overall, there was a flattening of the yield curve as compared to the second quarter of 2018 with rate decreases being generally more significant at the longer end of the yield curve.

As compared to the second quarter of 2018, the average two-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased by 34 basis points from 2.47% to 2.13%, the average five year U.S. Treasury rate decreased by 65 basis points from 2.77% to 2.12% and the average ten year U.S. Treasury rate decreased by 59 basis points from 2.92% to 2.33%. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.91% for the second quarter of 2019 and 4.15% 2018. The Company believes that the net interest margin in the most recent quarter as compared to 2018’s second quarter has been consistent with its risk analysis at December 31, 2018.

GAP Position

Banks and other financial institutions earnings are significantly dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. This revenue represented 93% of the Company’s revenue for both the second quarter of 2019 and 2018.

In falling interest rate environments, net interest income is maximized with longer term, higher yielding assets being funded by lower yielding short-term funds, or what is referred to as a negative mismatch or GAP. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, net interest income is maximized with shorter term, higher yielding assets being funded by longer-term liabilities or what is referred to as a positive mismatch or GAP.

The GAP position, which is a measure of the difference in maturity and repricing volume between assets and liabilities, is a means of monitoring the sensitivity of a financial institution to changes in interest rates. The chart below provides an indication of the sensitivity of the Company to changes in interest rates. A negative GAP indicates the degree to which the volume of repriceable liabilities exceeds repriceable assets in given time periods.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had a positive GAP position of approximately $395 million or 5% of total assets out to three months and a positive cumulative GAP position of $172 million or 2% of total assets out to 12 months; as compared to a positive GAP position of approximately $604 million or 7% of total assets out to three months and a positive cumulative GAP position of $417 million or 5% of total assets out to 12 months at December 31, 2018. The change in the positive GAP position at June 30, 2019, as compared to December 31, 2018, was due to an increase in earning assets. The change in the GAP position at June 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018 is not deemed material to the Company’s overall interest rate risk position, which relies more heavily on simulation analysis which captures the full optionality within the balance sheet. The current position is within guideline limits established by the ALCO. While management believes that this overall position creates a reasonable balance in managing its interest rate risk and maximizing its net interest margin within plan objectives, there can be no assurance as to actual results.

Management has carefully considered its strategy to maximize interest income by reviewing interest rate levels, economic indicators and call features within its investment portfolio, as well as interest rate floors within its loan portfolio. These factors have been discussed with the ALCO and management believes that current strategies are appropriate to current economic and interest rate trends.

If interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the Company’s net interest income and net interest margin are expected to increase modestly due to the impact of significant volumes of variable rate assets together with the assumption of an increase in money market interest rates by 70% of the change in market interest rates.

If interest rates decline by 100 basis points, the Company’s net interest income and margin are expected to decline modestly as the impact of lower market rates on a large amount of liquid assets more than offsets the ability to lower interest rates on interest bearing liabilities.

Because competitive market behavior does not necessarily track the trend of interest rates but at times moves ahead of financial market influences, the change in the cost of liabilities may be different than anticipated by the GAP model. If this were to occur, the effects of a declining interest rate environment may not be in accordance with management’s expectations.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality and mix, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces, stress testing, regulatory measures and policy, as well as the overall level of growth and complexity of the balance sheet. The adequacy of the Company’s current and future capital needs is monitored by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Company, like many community banks, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans, and the Company has experienced growth in its commercial real estate portfolio in recent years. At June 30, 2019, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (including construction, land, and land development loans) represent 337% of total risk based capital. Construction, land and land development loans represent 118% of total risk based capital. Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. Loan monitoring practices include but are not limited to periodic stress testing analysis to evaluate changes to cash flows, owing to interest rate increases and declines in net operating income. Nevertheless, we may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, and may adversely affect shareholder returns. The Company has an extensive Capital Plan and Policy, which includes pro-forma projections including stress testing within which the Board of Directors has established internal minimum targets for regulatory capital ratios that are in excess of well capitalized ratios.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five categories, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to, among other things, accept, renew or roll-over brokered deposits. If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions and growth and expansion are limited, and plans for capital restoration are required.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted rules (the “Basel III Rules”) implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III). Under the Basel III rules, the Company and Bank are required to maintain, inclusive of the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%; a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.5% a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5% and requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.

The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and Bank as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are presented in the table below.

* Applies to Bank only

Bank and holding company regulations, as well as Maryland law, impose certain restrictions on dividend payments by the Bank, as well as restricting extensions of credit and transfers of assets between the Bank and the Company. At June 30, 2019 the Bank could pay dividends to the parent to the extent of its earnings so long as it maintained required capital ratios.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP measurements useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The tables below provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”) and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders’ equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates return on average tangible common equity by dividing annualized year to date net income by tangible common equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019.

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company and its subsidiaries are participants in various legal proceedings incidental to their business. In the opinion of management, the liabilities (if any) resulting from such legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

On July 24, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its current and former President and Chief Executive Officer and its current and former Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of persons similarly situated, who purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between March 2, 2015 and July 17, 2019. Shiva Stein vs. Eagle Bancorp, Inc., et. al. (Case 1:19-cv-06873). The plaintiff in the action alleges that certain of the Company’s 10-K reports and other public disclosures contained material misrepresentations, or omitted material information, about the business, operations and management of the Company, including the effectiveness of its internal controls and related party transactions, in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10(b)-5 thereunder and Section 20(a) of that act, resulting in injury to the purported class members as a result the decline in the value of the Company’s common stock following the disclosure of increased legal expenses associated with certain government investigations involving the Company. The relief sought in the lawsuit includes damages. While we continue to review the complaint, the Company believes that the claims asserted are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against them.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

There have been no material changes as of June 30, 2019 in the risk factors from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
