(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) through its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located within the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, St. Louis, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including changes in interest rates and other general economic, business and political conditions, including the effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including its potential effects on the economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as any changes to federal, state and local government laws, regulations and orders in connection with the pandemic. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Stock Dividend On July 1, 2020, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2020. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

CARES Act On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law, which, in part, established a loan program administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"), referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors, non-profit organizations and self-employed individuals could apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Company is participating as a lender in the PPP program. All loans have a 1% interest rate and the Company earns a fee that is based upon a tiered schedule corresponding with the amount of the loan to the borrower, which is deferred and recognized over the life of the loan. Based upon the borrower meeting certain criteria as defined by the CARES Act, the loan may be forgiven by the SBA. The Company reports these loans at their principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, unamortized deferred loan fee income and loan origination costs. Interest is accrued as earned and loan origination fees and direct costs are deferred and accreted or amortized into interest income, as an adjustment to the yield, over the life of the loan using the level yield method. When a PPP loan is paid off or forgiven by the SBA, the remaining unaccreted or unamortized net origination fees or costs are immediately recognized into income.

The following represents significant new accounting principles adopted in 2020:

Intangibles In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40) Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

As such, the Bank is susceptible to changes in the economic environment in these communities. The Bank does not have a concentration of credit in any one economic sector. Installment and other consumer loans consist primarily of the financing of automotive vehicles. At June 30, 2020, loans of $580.0 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit.

management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration.

In the first quarter of 2019, management adjusted the look-back period to begin with loss history in the first quarter 2012 as the starting point through the current quarter and it will continue to include this starting point going forward. At that time, Management determined that with the extended economic recovery then existing, the look-back period should be expanded to include the current economic cycle. The look-back period will be adjusted once a sustained loss producing downturn is recognized by allowing the look-back period to shift forward by eliminating the earliest loss period and replenishing it with losses from the most recent period. The look-back period is consistently evaluated for relevance given the current facts and circumstances.

As a result of rapidly increasing unemployment rates resulting from the COVID-19 virus, management determined that the first quarter 2020 allowance for loan loss economic qualitative adjustment should be temporarily adapted to utilize currently published statistics rather than the lagging statistics that had been utilized historically. While these lagging indicators have been very reliable for some time, they did not accurately capture the risk that has been brought about by rapid changes in the economy due to the pandemic. Based upon the change in the national unemployment rate available as of March 31, 2020, the economic qualitative adjustment was increased according to the Company’s methodology to account for uncertainty in economic conditions compared to the lookback period. As of June 30, 2020, and based on the continuing high rates of national unemployment as compared to historic levels, management believes this temporary alteration will be a better indicator until the economy stabilizes and the true impact can be measured.

Additionally, the funding of $87.6 million in PPP loans during the second quarter required management to assess the methodology that would be adopted in regard to the allowance for loan loss applicable to these loans. As the SBA PPP loans are expected to be mostly paid off in the next two to three months and carry a 100% credit guarantee from the SBA, management determined that no allowance for loan loss was deemed necessary for these loans.

Impaired Loans

Loans evaluated under ASC 310-10-35 include loans which are individually evaluated for impairment. All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $11.3 million and $7.4 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs).

The net carrying value of impaired loans is based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. At June 30, 2020, $7.0 million of impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value less estimated selling costs of the loans' collateral compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2019. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At June 30, 2020, $710,000 of the Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $11.3 million compared to $615,000 of the Company’s allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $7.4 million at December 31, 2019. Management determined that $6.3 million, or 56%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at June 30, 2020 compared to $2.6 million, or 35%, at December 31, 2019, primarily due to adequate collateral values, acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

2020, respectively, compared to $40,000 and $85,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the periods reported.

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-accrual when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual, including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management’s collection efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Subsequent interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial condition of the borrower indicates that the timely collectability of interest and principal is probable and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six months.

The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Credit Quality

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based upon an internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment. Loans are placed on watch status when one or more weaknesses are identified that may result in the borrower being unable to meet repayment terms or the Company’s credit position could deteriorate at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that lead to the restructuring of a loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. Loans classified as TDRs that are accruing interest are classified as performing TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs, that are not accruing interest are classified as nonperforming TDRs and are included with all other nonaccrual loans for presentation purposes. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful.

The following table presents the risk categories by class at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At June 30, 2020, loans classified as TDRs totaled $3.8 million, of which $1.3 million were classified as non-performing TDRs and $2.5 million were classified as performing TDRs. At December 31, 2019, loans classified as TDRs totaled $4.1 million, of which $1.6 million were classified as non-performing TDRs and $2.5 million were classified as performing TDRs. Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, 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 fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $353,000 and $442,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The CARES Act provides all banks with the option to elect either or both of the following from March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the termination of the national emergency:

(i) to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the COVID–19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR; and/or

(ii) to suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of the COVID–19 pandemic as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes.

If a bank elects a suspension noted above, the suspension (i) will be effective for the term of the loan modification, but solely with respect to any modification, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, and any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest, that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (ii) will not apply to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the COVID–19 pandemic.

As provided for by the CARES Act, the Company offered three-month payment modifications to borrowers. At June 30, 2020, 568 loans totaling $286.8 million or 22.4% of total loans had entered into some form of a modification. These loan modifications include $177.2 million, or 61.8%, on interest only, and $109.6 million, or 38.2%, on full deferral. (See table below titled Loan Portfolio Granularity – Loan Modifications under the CARES Act by NAICS Code.)

Additionally, some borrowers have requested an additional three-month payment modification. This includes forty loans totaling $58.3 million, or 20.3% of the previously modified loans. These loan modifications include $22.6 million on interest only and $35.8 million on full deferral (See table below titled Loan Portfolio Granularity – Loan Modifications under the CARES Act for Six Months by NAICS Code.)

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 316 securities at June 30, 2020. The portfolio included 14 securities having an aggregate fair value of $4.3 million that were in a loss position at June 30, 2020. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer totaled $3.0 million at fair value at June 30, 2020. The $297,000 aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2020 was caused by interest rate fluctuations.

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 322 securities at December 31, 2019. The portfolio included 128 securities having an aggregate fair value of $81.0 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2019. Securities identified as temporarily impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer had a fair value of $52.7 million at December 31, 2019. The $798,000 aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2019 was caused by interest rate fluctuations.

Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In the absence of changes in credit quality of these investments, the fair value is expected to recover on all debt securities as they approach their maturity date or re-pricing date, or if market yields for such investments decline. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments over the period of recovery, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investment securities.

The Company offers a sweep account program whereby amounts in excess of an established limit are “swept” from the customer’s demand deposit account on a daily basis into retail repurchase agreements pursuant to individual repurchase agreements between the Company and its customers. Repurchase agreements are agreements to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. They are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions, not as sales and purchases of the securities portfolio. The securities collateral pledged for the repurchase agreements with customers is maintained by a designated third party custodian. The collateral amounts pledged to repurchase agreements by remaining maturity in the table below are limited to the outstanding balances of the related asset or liability; thus amounts of excess collateral are not shown.

(7) Leases

The Company's leases primarily consist of office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 10 years. As of June 30, 2020, operating right of use (ROU) assets and liabilities were $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term on these operating leases is approximately 8.0 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liabilities is approximately 4.0%.

Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. Currently, the Company does not have any finance leases. The ROU assets are included in premises and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

Operating lease cost, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income. The operating lease cost was $80,000 and $166,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $84,000 and $116,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 respectively.

At adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, lease and non-lease components of new lease agreements are accounted for separately. Lease components include fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs and non-lease components include common-area maintenance costs. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense for these leases was $25,000 and $60,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $18,000 and $51,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

(8) Income Taxes

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 18.6% and 17.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 19.2% and 19.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the periods presented was primarily attributable to the impact of tax-free revenues having a greater impact to pre-tax income due to the reduced level of earnings.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning initiatives in making this assessment. In management's opinion, the Company will more likely than not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets and, therefore, has not established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020. Management arrived at this conclusion based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income of the appropriate character over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions, and did not record any related tax liabilities.

As of June 30, 2020, the accrued liability was $800,000 and the expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $80,000 and $160,000, respectively, and is recognized over the required service period.

Pension

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time eligible employees. Beginning January 1, 2018 and for all retrospective periods presented, the Company adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under the new guidance, only the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost is reported in the same income statement line item as salaries and benefits, and the remaining components are reported as other non-interest expense. An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year. The Company made a pension contribution of $500,000 on March 25, 2020. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company amended the pension plan to effectuate a “soft freeze” such that no individual hired (or rehired in the case of a former employee) by the Company after September 30, 2017, whether or not such individual is or was a vested member in the plan, will be eligible to be an active member and be entitled to accrue any benefits under the plan.

Components of Net Pension Cost and Other Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following items are components of net pension cost for the periods indicated:

Net periodic pension cost for the six months ended June 30, (actual)	$	807	$	715

(a)	The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component are included in other non-interest expense.

Net periodic pension benefit costs include interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on actuarially derived market-related values, and the amortization of net actuarial losses. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs include service costs, interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, and the amortization of prior service credits and net actuarial gains. Differences between expected and actual results in each year are included in the net actuarial gain or loss amount, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The net actuarial gain or loss in excess of a 10% corridor is amortized in net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of active

participants in the Plans. The prior service credit is amortized over the average remaining service period to full eligibility for participating employees expected to receive benefits.

(11) Earnings per Share

Stock Dividend

On July 1, 2020, the Company paid a special stock dividend of 4% to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2020. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares that were outstanding during the year.

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share, which have been restated for all stock dividends:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Basic earnings per share:
Net income available to shareholders	$	3,282	$	3,520	$	4,150	$	8,186
Average shares outstanding		6,485,648		6,525,684		6,497,919		6,525,684
Basic earnings per share	$	0.51	$	0.54	$	0.64	$	1.25
Diluted earnings per share:
Net income available to shareholders	$	3,282	$	3,520	$	4,150	$	8,186
Average shares outstanding		6,485,648		6,525,684		6,497,919		6,525,684
Effect of dilutive stock options		—		—		—		—
Average shares outstanding including dilutive stock options		6,485,648		6,525,684		6,497,919		6,525,684
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.51		0.54	$	0.64		1.25

Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when the Company has a loss from continuing operations available to shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such stock during the period. There were no shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that were omitted from the computation of diluted earnings per share as a result of being considered anti-dilutive.

Repurchase Program

On September 18, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $5.0 million market value of the Company's common stock. Management was given discretion to determine the number and pricing of the shares to be purchased, as well as, the timing of any such purchases. In the second quarter of 2020 the repurchase program was temporarily suspended. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had repurchased a total of 40,036 shares of common stock pursuant to the repurchase program at an average price of $20.22 per share.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Valuation Methods for Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Available-for-Sale Securities

The fair value measurements of the Company’s investment securities are determined by a third party pricing service which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to independent verification to another pricing source by management each quarter for reasonableness.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. The Company uses level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in level 2.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of estimated future cash flows utilizing contractual cash flows, servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees. The valuation models estimate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company classifies its servicing rights as Level 3.

Valuation methods for Assets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Collateral dependent impaired loans

While the overall loan portfolio is not carried at fair value, the Company periodically records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. In determining the value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and internal appraisals of property values depending on the size and complexity of the real estate collateral. The Company maintains staff that is trained to perform in-house evaluations and also review third party appraisal reports for reasonableness. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Values of all loan collateral are regularly reviewed by senior loan committee. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of June 30, 2020, the Company identified $7.0 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $411,000. Related to these loans, there were $37,000 and $92,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the Company identified $3.9 million in collateral dependent impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $430,000. Related to these loans, there were $119,000 and $126,000 in charge-offs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Other Real Estate and Foreclosed Assets

Other real estate owned (OREO) and foreclosed assets consisted of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets initially

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

are carried at fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals on OREO may be discounted based on the Company’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available. During the holding period, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

(13) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

categories. The fair value of loans, or exit price, is estimated by using the future value of discounted cash flows using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products and adjusted for market factors. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of loan products adjusted to be commensurate with the credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of such instruments.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value measurements of loans held for sale are management's best estimate of market value, which is primarily based on quoted market prices for similar loans in the secondary market.

Investment Securities

A detailed description of the fair value measurement of the debt instruments in the available-for-sale sections of the investment security portfolio is provided in the Fair Value Measurement section above. A schedule of investment securities by category and maturity is provided in the notes on Investment Securities.

Other investment securities

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment. The Company uses level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets.

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks

The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less.

Certificates of Deposit in other banks

Certificates of deposit are other investments made by the Company with other financial institutions that are carried at cost which is equal to fair value.

Cash Surrender Value - Life Insurance

The fair value of Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) approximates the carrying amount. Upon liquidation of these investments, the Company would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount.

HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds purchased and Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

For Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash-flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

Operating Lease Liabilities

The fair value of operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms that are competitive in the markets in which it operates.

Limitations

The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and

(Unaudited)

involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments were as follows as of the dates indicated:


	June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2020		2019
Commitments to extend credit	$	269,172	$	240,758
Commitments to originate residential first and second mortgage loans		60,820		3,980
Standby letters of credit		95,577		97,348
Total		425,569		342,086

Commitments

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

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years at June 30, 2020.

Pending Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company’s past and current business activities. Based on the Company’s analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in the near term. The Company records a loss accrual for all legal matters for which it deems a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some legal matters, which are

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

at early stages in the legal process, have not yet progressed to the point where a loss is deemed probable or an amount can be estimated.

(15) Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are not in the scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust department revenue, service charges and fees, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and sales of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change current business practices or result in any changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities within the scope of this guidance, which are presented in our income statement as components of noninterest income are as follows:

●

Service charges on deposit accounts - represents fees generated from a variety of deposit products and services provided to customers under a day-to-day contract. These fees are recognized on a daily or monthly basis.

●

Bank card income and fees – represents fees, exchange, and other service charge revenue earned from merchant, debit and credit cards that are recognized when the services are rendered or upon completion. These fees are recognized on a daily or monthly basis.

●

Gain on sale of other real estate - represents income recognized at the time of control of a property is transferred to the buyer.

Overview

Crucial to the Company’s community banking strategy is growth in its commercial banking services, retail mortgage lending and retail banking services. Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, the Company, with $1.7 billion in assets at June 30, 2020, provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services. The Bank’s specialties include commercial banking for small and mid-sized businesses, including equipment, operating, commercial real estate, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, and personal banking services including real estate mortgage lending, installment and consumer loans, certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Other financial services that the Company provides include trust services that include estate planning, investment and asset management services and a comprehensive suite of cash management services. The geographic areas in which the Company provides products and services include the Missouri communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, St. Louis, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. Much of the Company’s business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and residential mortgage

lending. The Company’s income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancing activity.

The success of the Company’s growth strategy depends primarily on the ability of its banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to revenues generated. The Company’s financial performance also depends, in part, on its ability to manage various portfolios and to successfully introduce additional financial products and services by expanding new and existing customer relationships, utilizing improved technology, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the success of the Company’s growth strategy depends on its ability to maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels during periods in which general economic conditions are unfavorable and despite economic conditions being beyond its control.

The Company’s subsidiary bank is a full-service bank conducting a general banking business, offering its customers checking and savings accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services, including commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans, single payment personal loans, installment loans and credit card accounts. In addition, the Bank provides trust services.

The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the extent provided by law. The operations of the Bank are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of the Bank are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Significant Developments and Transactions

Each item listed below materially affects the comparability of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and our financial condition as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and may affect the comparability of financial information we report in future fiscal periods.

Impact of COVID-19. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has had an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and is expected to have a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy, the banking industry and our Company in future fiscal periods, all subject to a high degree of uncertainty.

Effects on Our Market Areas. Our commercial and consumer banking products and services are delivered primarily in Missouri, where individual and governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a broad curtailment of economic activity beginning March 2020. In Missouri, the Director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services issued an order that individuals stay at home and that businesses abide by certain limitations on gathering sizes. This order was effective from April 6, 2020 and extended through May 3, 2020. Effective May 4, 2020, the governor of Missouri announced a partial relaxation of these limitations by lifting the stay at home order for individuals and allowing businesses to reopen subject to social distancing guidelines. The Bank and its branches remained open during these orders because banking is deemed an essential business, although it has suspended lobby access at its branches from March 18, 2020 until May 4, 2020. Effective June16, the governor of Missouri rescinded all COVID-19 related statewide public health orders. He announced it would be the responsibility of local officials to put further measures and regulations in place.

Policy and Regulatory Developments. Federal, state and local governments and regulatory authorities have enacted and issued a range of policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

●

The Federal Reserve decreased the range for the federal funds target rate by 0.50% on March 3, 2020, and by another 1.0% on March 16, 2020, reaching a range of 0.0% – 0.25%.

●

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act contains provisions to assist individuals and businesses, including the SBA’s Paycheck Protection program (“PPP”). The PPP provided $349 billion in guaranteed loans that are forgivable if certain requirements are met. On April 24, 2020, an additional $310 billion was added to the PPP.

●

On April 7, 2020, the U.S. banking agencies issued Interagency Statement on Loan modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised). The statement describes accounting for COVID-19-related loan modifications, including clarifying the interaction between current accounting rules and the temporary relief provided by the CARES Act. The statement also encourages institutions to work constructively with borrowers affected by COVID-19 and states the agencies will not criticize supervised institutions for prudent loan modifications. Both the CARES Act and the interagency statement provide relief from the accounting and reporting implications of troubled debt restructurings.

Effects on Our Business. The COVID-19 pandemic and the specific developments referred to above will continue to have a significant impact on our business. In particular, we anticipate that a significant portion of the Bank’s borrowers in the hotel, restaurant, gaming, long-term healthcare and retail industries will continue to endure significant economic distress, which has caused, and will continue to cause, them to draw on their existing lines of credit and adversely affect their ability to repay existing indebtedness, and is expected to adversely impact the value of collateral. These developments, together with economic conditions generally, are also expected to impact our commercial real estate portfolio, particularly with respect to real estate with exposure to these industries, our consumer loan business and loan portfolio, and the value of certain collateral securing our loans. As a result, we anticipate that our financial condition, capital levels and results of operations will be adversely affected, as described in further detail below.

Our Response. We have taken numerous steps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

●

To protect the health and safety of our employees and customers, on March 18, 2020, we closed our banking center lobbies but continued to serve clients by appointment or through our drive-up lanes.

●

To meet the financial needs of our customers, we have instituted the following measures:

The Bank participated, as a lender, in the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") and began taking applications on the first day of the program. Through July 31, 2020, the Bank had processed $88.0 million in PPP loans that had been approved by the SBA.

To account for the probable increased losses inherent in the loan portfolio, Management recorded an additional $0.6 million and $3.6 million provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

At June 30, 2020, 568 loans totaling $286.8 million or 22.4% of total loans had entered into some form of a modification. These loan modifications include $177.2 million, or 61.8%, on interest only, and $109.6 million, or 38.2%, on full deferral.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex

judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to the critical accounting policies on the business operations are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, where such policies affect the reported and expected financial results.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of the Company’s results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. Further discussion of the methodology used in establishing the allowance and the impact of any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations is provided in note 1 to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and is also discussed in the Lending and Credit Management section below. Many of the loans are deemed collateral dependent for purposes of the measurement of the impairment loss, thus the fair value of the underlying collateral and sensitivity of such fair values due to changing market conditions, supply and demand, condition of the collateral and other factors can be volatile over periods of time. Such volatility can have an impact on the financial performance of the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Several financial measures in this report are non-GAAP, meaning they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. The non-GAAP items presented in this report are non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP basic earnings per share, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP return on average assets and non-GAAP return on average common equity. These measures include the adjustments to exclude the additional loan loss provision recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 caused by the impact on current economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the gain on the sale of our Branson branch that closed during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The Company believes that the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating the Company's underlying performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating performance utilizing GAAP financial information. The Company uses non-GAAP measures to analyze its financial performance and to make financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors to better understand the Company's comparative operating performance for the periods presented. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by the Company. The Company has reconciled each of these measures to a comparable GAAP measure below:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

The Company has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported

amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Average Balance Sheets

Net interest income is the largest source of revenue resulting from the Company’s lending, investing, borrowing, and deposit gathering activities. It is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amounts and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following table presents average balance sheets, net interest

income, average yields of earning assets, average costs of interest bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for each of the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest income and yields are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the Federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, net of nondeductible interest expense, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Such adjustments totaled $214,000 and $385,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $142,000 and $357,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, reflected an increase in net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, of $1.3 million, or 10.2%, and financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflected an increase of $2.1 million, or 8.73%. Measured as a percentage of average earning assets, the net interest margin (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis) decreased to 3.46% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to 3.50% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and increased to 3.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Net interest income increased primarily due to a decrease in rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities in the three and six month comparative periods. Although average earning assets increased for both the three and six month comparative periods, net interest margin decreased quarter over quarter primarily due to a decrease in rates earned, while net interest margin increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the decrease in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities partially offset by the decrease in rates earned on average interest earning assets.

Average interest-earning assets increased $163.4 million, or 11.6%, to $1.57 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.41 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and average interest bearing liabilities increased $54.4 million, or 4.9%, to $1.16 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.11 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Average interest-earning assets increased $67.6 million, or 4.7%, to $1.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.44 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and average interest bearing liabilities was consistent at $1.14 billion for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Total interest income (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis) was $15.9 million and $31.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $16.3 million and $32.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Interest income on loans was $14.6 million and $29.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $14.8 million and $29.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Average loans outstanding increased $99.9 million, or 8.6%, to $1.26 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.16 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average yield on loans decreased to 4.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 5.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Average loans outstanding increased $58.6 million, or 5.1%, to $1.21billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.15 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average yield on loans decreased to 4.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 5.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. See the Lending and Credit Management section for further discussion of changes in the composition of the lending portfolio.

Interest income on available-for-sale securities was $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Average securities decreased $20.2 million, or 9.2%, to $198.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $218.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average yield on securities decreased to 2.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The average yield on securities decreased to 2.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. See the Liquidity Management section for further discussion.

Total interest expense decreased to $2.4 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $8.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company’s rates paid on interest bearing liabilities were 0.82% and 1.00% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 1.46% and 1.48% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. See the Liquidity Management section for further discussion.

Interest expense on deposits decreased to $1.3 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $2.8 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Average interest bearing deposits decreased $10.8 million, or 1.1%, to $935.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $946.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to generally lower market interest rates quarter over quarter.

Average interest bearing deposits decreased $41.1 million, or 4.22%, to $931.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $972.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

These decreases in average balances were primarily due to decreases in NOW accounts, money market accounts, and time deposits resulting from lower offering rates in response to lower market interest rates.

Interest expense on borrowings was $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Average borrowings increased to $225.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $160.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 1.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in cost of funds primarily resulted from lower market interest rates.

Average borrowings increased to $204.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $163.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 2.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in cost of funds primarily resulted from lower market interest rates.

The increase in average borrowings was primarily due to an increase in FHLB advances to fund liquidity needs as refinancing activity increased when rates dropped during the first quarter of 2020. This in turn was offset beginning in April of 2020 when the Company had an increase in liquidity due to participation in the CARES Act economic stimulus programs. The Company experienced significant deposit growth primarily due to stimulus checks, proceeds from PPP loan funding, deferral of income tax payments, and customers holding on to savings due to uncertain times. See the Liquidity Management section for further discussion.

Total non-interest income increased $512,000, or 24.1%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $669,000, or 15.9%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Service charges and fees decreased $319,000, or 36.0%, to $566,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $885,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and decreased $383,000, or 21.9%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in fees was primarily due to a decrease in nonsufficient fund service charges (NSF) resulting from both a decrease in volume, in addition to temporary fee waivers for customers related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real estate servicing fees, net of the change in valuation of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) increased $66,000 to $(16,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $(82,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and decreased $105,000 to $(103,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Mortgage loan servicing fees earned on loans sold were $234,000 and $422,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $197,000 and $376,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The current quarter's MSR valuation decreased $250,000 from the prior linked quarter, and decreased $525,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased prepayment assumptions. The dramatic drop in market interest rates from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, created an economic incentive for borrowers to refinance their existing home mortgage loans.

The Company was servicing $273.8 million of mortgage loans at June 30, 2020 compared to $271.4 million and $272.7 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Gain on sales of mortgage loans increased $745,000, or 416.2%, to $924,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $179,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $1.1 million, or 373.2%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company focused on creation and development of a new mortgage loan department and began offering new mortgage loan products in addition to Freddie and Fannie loans that are sold to the secondary market. The Company sold $35.0 million and $47.7 million of loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $9.9 million and $15.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Other Income increased $18,000, or 36.0%, to $68,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $11,000, or 10.8%, to $113,000 for the six months ended compared to $102,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the periods presented was primarily due to increased brokerage income partially offset by a decrease in insurance commissions, rental income from other real estate owned, and income earned on bank owned life insurance policies due to one of the Company's polices being redeemed in the third quarter of 2019.

There were no securities sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company recognized an immaterial unrealized gain during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 related to equity securities.

Total non-interest expense increased $1.4 million, or 14.2%, to $11.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $1.9 million, or 9.9%, to $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Salaries increased $973,000, or 24.2%, to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $1.5 million, or 18.9%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were primarily due to adding 24 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees to expand the Company's new mortgage loan department. In addition, annual merit increases average approximately 4.0% each year and are awarded in the first quarter of each year.

Employee benefits increased $122,000, or 8.7%, to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and increased $266,000, or 9.3%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were primarily due to higher pension cost due to lower annual discount rate assumptions compared to the prior year's annual assumptions, an increase in payroll taxes due to an increase in FTE mentioned above, and an increase in 401(k) plan contributions.

Furniture and equipment expense increased $66,000, or 9.6%, to $752,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $686,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and decreased $48,000, or 3.2%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 over the quarter ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of increases in core maintenance agreements and depreciation, partially offset by a $12,000 net gain during the quarter compared to a $24,000 net loss in the prior year quarter recognized on the sale of premises and equipment.

The net decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2020 over the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of a $67,000 net gain primarily related to the sale of land adjacent to one of the Company's branches compared to a net loss of $43,000 in the prior year recognized on the sale of equipment. This decrease was partially offset by increases in core maintenance agreements and depreciation.

Legal, examination, and professional fees increased $103,000, or 33.9%, to $407,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $304,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $142,000, or 22.5%, to $774,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $632,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. These increases are primarily related to an increase in legal fees primarily related to one pending lawsuit that is in its early stages, and consulting expenses.

Other non-interest expense increased $242,000, or 24.0%, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $130,000, or 6%, to $2.3 million compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases were primarily related to increases in real estate loan expenses related to the growth in loan volume, donations, real estate foreclosure (gain) expense, and FDIC assessment expense. In the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold an out-of-service branch building being held as other real estate owned (OREO) to a non-profit organization. This transaction consisted of a $266,000 donation expense and the company realized a net gain of $210,000.

Income taxes

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 18.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 19.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and 17.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 19.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the impact of tax-free revenues having a greater impact to pre-tax income due to the reduced level of earnings for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Lending and Credit Management

Interest earned on the loan portfolio is a primary source of interest income for the Company. Net loans represented 75.1% of total assets as of June 30, 2020 compared to 77.5% as of December 31, 2019.

Lending activities are conducted pursuant to an established loan policy approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The Bank’s credit review process is overseen by regional loan committees with established loan approval limits. In addition, a

senior loan committee reviews all credit relationships in aggregate over an established dollar amount. The senior loan committee meets weekly and is comprised of senior managers of the Bank.

A summary of loans, by major class within the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated is as follows:

The Company extends credit to its local community markets through traditional real estate mortgage products. The Company does not participate in extending credit to sub-prime residential real estate markets. The Company does not lend funds for transactions defined as “highly leveraged” by bank regulatory authorities or for foreign loans. Additionally, the Company does not have any concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed in the loan portfolio composition table. The Company does not have any interest-earning assets that would have been included in nonaccrual, past due, or restructured loans if such assets were loans.

The Company generally does not retain long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans in its portfolio. Fixed rate loans conforming to standards required by the secondary market are offered to qualified borrowers, but are not funded until the Company has a non-recourse purchase commitment from the secondary market at a predetermined price. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold approximately $47.7 million of loans to investors compared to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the Company was servicing approximately $273.8 million of loans sold to the secondary market compared to $271.4 million at December 31, 2019, and $272.7 million at June 30, 2019.

Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio

Management, the senior loan committee, and internal loan review, formally review all loans in excess of certain dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually. Loans in excess of $2.0 million in aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by management are reviewed by the senior loan committee. In addition, all other loans are reviewed on a risk weighted selection process. The senior loan committee reviews and reports to the board of directors, on a monthly basis: past due, classified, and watch list loans in order to classify or reclassify loans as loans requiring attention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. During this review, management also determines which loans should be considered impaired. Management follows the guidance provided in the FASB's ASC Topic 310-10-35 in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan

risk ratings and industry concentration. Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of potential problem loans. Based upon these procedures, both the allowance and provision for loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered necessary by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

(a)	Non-performing loans include loans 90 days past due and accruing, nonaccrual loans, and non-performing TDRs included in nonaccrual loans and 90 days past due.

(b)	Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate owned and repossessed assets.

Total non-performing assets were $21.4 million, or 1.67% of total loans, at June 30, 2020 compared to $17.9 million, or 1.53% of total loans, at December 31, 2019, and $18.9 million, or 1.64% of total loans, at June 30, 2019, respectively.

Total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2020 increased $4.1 million, 86.1%, to $8.8 million compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in non-accrual loans primarily consisted of increases in commercial, financial, and agricultural loans, and real estate mortgage residential loans related to one loan relationship that paid off in July of 2020. The increase in real estate construction commercial loans primarily related to three loan relationships.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest at June 30, 2020, were $58,000 compared to $316,000 at December 31, 2019. Other real estate and repossessed assets were $12.5 million and $12.8 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31,

2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no non-accrual loans, net of charge-offs taken, moved to other real estate owned and repossessed assets compared to $343,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, approximately $5.7 million compared to $9.0 million and $6.2 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, of loans classified as substandard, which include performing TDRs, and are not included in the non-performing asset table, were identified as potential problem loans having more than normal risk which raised doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Management believes the allowance for loan losses was sufficient to cover the risks and probable losses related to such loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s TDRs at the dates indicated:

Total TDRs	29	$	3,812	$	353	31	$	4,151	$	442

At June 30, 2020, loans classified as TDRs totaled $3.8 million, with $353,000 of specific reserves compared to $4.2 million of loans classified as TDRs, with $442,000 of specific reserves at December 31, 2019. Non-performing loans, included $1.3 million of loans classified as TDRs at June 30, 2020 compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2019. Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, 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 fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. The net decrease in total TDRs from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 was primarily due to $456,000 of payments received on TDRs, partially offset by two new TDR totaling $124,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table is a summary of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Allocation of allowance for loan losses at end of period:
Commercial, financial, and agricultural	$	3,614	$	2,918
Real estate construction - residential		171		64
Real estate construction - commercial		722		369
Real estate mortgage - residential		2,711		2,118
Real estate mortgage - commercial		9,048		6,547
Installment and other consumer		306		381
Unallocated		50		80
Total	$	16,622	$	12,477

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) was $16.6 million, or 1.30% of loans outstanding, at June 30, 2020 compared to $12.5 million, or 1.07%, at December 31, 2019, and $11.9 million, or 1.03% at June 30, 2019. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 186.62% at June 30, 2020, compared to 246.09% at December 31, 2019, and 203.48% at June 30, 2019.

The following table is a summary of the general and specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses:


	June 30,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Allocation of allowance for loan losses:
Individually evaluated for impairment - specific reserves	$	710	$	615
Collectively evaluated for impairment - general reserves		15,912		11,862
Total	$	16,622	$	12,477

The specific reserve component applies to loans evaluated individually for impairment. The net carrying value of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals and/or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At June 30, 2020, $710,000 of the Company’s ALL was allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $11.3 million compared to $615,000 of the Company’s ALL allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $7.4 million at December 31, 2019. Management determined that $6.3 million, or 56%, of total impaired loans required no reserve allocation at June 30, 2020 compared to $2.6 million, or 35%, at December 31, 2019, primarily due to adequate collateral values, acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

The incurred loss component of the general reserve, or loans collectively evaluated for impairment, is determined by applying loss rates to pools of loans by asset type. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type. In the first quarter of 2019, management adjusted the look-back period to begin with loss history in the first quarter 2012 as the starting point through the current quarter and it will continue to include this starting point going forward. At that time, Management determined that with the extended economic recovery then existing, the look-back period should be expanded to include the current economic cycle. The look-back period will then be adjusted once a sustained loss producing downturn is recognized by allowing the look-back period to shift forward by eliminating the earliest loss period and replenishing it with losses from the most recent period. The look-back period is consistently evaluated for relevance given the current facts and circumstances.

These historical loss rates for each risk group are used as the starting point to determine loss rates for measurement purposes. The historical loan loss rates are multiplied by loss emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the recognition of a loss.

The Company’s methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, loan concentrations, assessment of trends in collateral values, assessment of changes in the quality of the Company’s internal loan review department, and changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices.

The specific and general reserve allocations represent management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

The more significant changes from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 in the allocations of the allowance for loan losses to the loan portfolios listed above was primarily attributed to the additional economic qualitative factor adjustment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, the funding of $87.6 million in PPP loans during the second quarter required management to assess the methodology that would be adopted in regard to the allowance for loan loss applicable to these loans. As the SBA PPP loans are expected to begin paying off in the next two to three months and carry a 100% credit guarantee from the SBA, management determined that no allowance for loan loss was deemed necessary for these loans.

Provision

A $900,000 and $4.2 million provision for loan losses was required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to a $250,000 and $400,000 provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. An additional $600,000 and $3.6 million provision was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, due to current economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table summarizes loan loss experience for the periods indicated:

Net Loan Charge-offs

The Company’s net recoveries were $29,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net charge-offs of $212,000, or 0.02% of average loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and net charge-offs were $55,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $169,000, or 0.1% of average loans, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The increase in net recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily related to a decrease in commercial, financial, and agricultural, and real estate mortgage – residential charge-offs. In addition, the Company recovered commercial deposit fraud charge-offs through the Company's insurance captive during the second quarter of 2020, two real estate construction – residential recoveries, and one real estate mortgage – residential recovery obtained in a settlement. The net decrease in the Company's net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the a decrease in commercial, financial, and agricultural, and real estate mortgage – residential loan charge-offs.

Loans Held For Sale

The Company designates certain long-term fixed rate personal real estate loans as held for sale, and the Company carries them at the lower of cost or fair value. The loans are primarily sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and PennyMac and other various secondary market investors. At June 30, 2020, the carrying amount of these loans was $9.0 million compared to $428,000 at December 31, 2019. A contributing factor for the increase in balance of loans held for sale at June 30, 2020 was due to the significant increase in real estate mortgage originations, as compared to the capability of the relatively recently formed mortgage lending department to sell the mortgages to investors (as more fully described in the following paragraph.)

In the fourth quarter of 2019 the Company expanded its current home loan program to better serve our customers. This expansion began with hiring new mortgage lending personnel and expanding the bank’s available loan products and

upgrading the Company's operating systems. New home loan programs for its customers include VA loans, designed for military families and veterans; USDA loans for those buying homes in rural communities; and FHA loans, which offer low down payments and flexible underwriting guidelines. In addition, we have added several secondary market investors, allowing us to sell loans on the secondary market versus servicing them at the Company. This provides us with the ability to offer clients more aggressive pricing and improve our bottom line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet the demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by the Company, management prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with customers as the primary sources of funding.

The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for the Company’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of daily, weekly, and monthly reports provided to management detail the following: internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital, and exposure to contingent draws on the Company’s liquidity.

The Company has a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a daily basis. The Company’s most liquid assets are comprised of available-for-sale investment securities, not including other debt securities, federal funds sold, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve.

Available-for-sale investment securities		192,036		175,093
Total	$	318,655	$	241,500

Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio was $192.0 million at June 30, 2020 and included an unrealized net gain of $3.9 million. The portfolio includes projected maturities and mortgage backed securities pay-downs of approximately $9.6 million over the next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in the Company’s deposit base.

The Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, federal funds purchase lines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank, and for other purposes required by law. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s unpledged securities in the available for sale portfolio totaled approximately $39.9 million and $35.3 million, respectively.

Total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows:

Other deposits		86,935		92,189
Total pledged, at fair value	$	152,077	$	139,812

Liquidity is available from the Company’s base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest checking, savings, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits less than $250,000, less all brokered deposits under $250,000. At June 30, 2020, such deposits totaled $1.2 billion and represented 87.9% of the Company’s total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often tied to other products of the Company through long lasting relationships.

Core deposits at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,

Other time deposits		186,482		197,089
Total	$	1,166,582	$	1,032,510

Time deposits and certificates of deposit of $250,000 and greater at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $112.7 million and $104.3 million, respectively. The Company had brokered deposits totaling $40.2 million and $45.2 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. The Company’s outside borrowings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and subordinated notes. Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company maintains approved credit lines. As of June 30, 2020, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to $50.0 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $16.1 million on a secured basis. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at June 30, 2020. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally borrowed overnight and are secured by a portion of the Company’s investment portfolio. At June 30, 2020, there were $42.2 million in repurchase agreements. The Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window, although no such borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2020.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) and has access to credit products of the FHLB. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had $125.8 million in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, the Company has $49.5 million in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by preferred securities issued by the trusts.

Borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

Other borrowings		24		24
Total	$	217,485	$	173,677

The Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB, and other correspondent banks as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the type and value of collateral pledged, the FHLB establishes a collateral value from which the Company may draw advances against this collateral. This collateral is also used to enable the FHLB to issue letters of credit in favor of public fund depositors of the Company. The Federal Reserve Bank also establishes a collateral value of assets pledged to support borrowings from the discount window. The following table reflects collateral value of assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to the Company as follows:


	June 30,								December 31,

At June 30, 2020, loans of $580.0 million were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit. At June 30, 2020, investments totaling $18.1 million were pledged to secure federal funds purchase lines and borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Based upon the above, management believes the Company has more than adequate liquidity, both on balance sheet and through the additional funding capacity with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal funds purchased lines to meet future anticipated needs; this includes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that is difficult to currently measure. Management believes the most significant impact to the Company’s liquidity position in the short-term may be related to the PPP as loans are expected to be forgiven and depositors may choose to redirect their funds. The longer-term impact on the Company's liquidity from the pandemic will be closely monitored and addressed as needs arise.

The Company also has available additional liquidity having pledged the PPP loans to the FHLB as collateral for available advances.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Cash and cash equivalents were $134.7 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $78.1 million at December 31, 2019. The $56.6 million increase resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash flow provided from operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $703,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Investing activities consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities, and changes in the level of the loan portfolio used total cash of $127.0 million. The cash outflow primarily consisted of $111.9 million increase

in loans and $54.8 million purchase of investment securities, partially offset by $41.1 million from maturities, calls, and sales of investment securities. The increase in loans was primarily a result of $83.8 million (net of SBA PPP fees) increase in commercial loans due to customers who participated in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

Financing activities provided cash of $182.6 million, resulting primarily from a $106.7 million increase in demand deposits, a $38.1 million increase in interest-bearing transaction accounts, and a $28.9 million increase in net FHLB advances. The growth in deposits was positively impacted by customers who deposited PPP loan proceeds into demand accounts. Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 2020.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Company’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company’s liquidity. The Company had $425.6 million in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2020. Although the Company’s current liquidity resources are adequate to fund this commitment level the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of such a funding demand is very low.

The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank, which must provide its own liquidity to meet its operating needs. The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs primarily include funding its operating expenses and paying cash dividends to its shareholders. The Company paid cash dividends to its shareholders totaling approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A large portion of the Company’s liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. The Bank declared and paid $2.5 million and $5.5 million in dividends to the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Capital Management

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

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for the Company began on January 1, 2015. The Federal Reserve System’s (FRB) capital adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 4.5% of its risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 6% of its risk-weighted assets and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. In addition, bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%.

In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. Institutions that do not maintain the required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer requirement began being phased in over four years beginning in 2016. On January 1, 2016, the first phase of the requirement went into effect at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and increased each subsequent year by an additional 0.625 percentage points, to reach its final level of 2.5% of risk weighted assets on January 1, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, effectively raised the minimum required risk-based capital ratios to 7% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, 8.5% Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% Total Capital on a fully phased-in basis.

Under the Basel III requirements, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as shown in the following table as of periods indicated:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability and Interest Rate Risk

Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

The principal objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing earnings and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The asset and liability management function is under the guidance of the Asset Liability Committee from direction of the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market

conditions and rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

Management analyzes the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 200 and 100 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


	% Change in projected net interest income
Hypothetical shift in interest rates	June 30,				December 31,
(bps)	2020			2019
200		2.57	%		1.07	%
100		2.16	%		1.61	%
(100)		0.69	%		0.78	%
(200)		(0.42)	%		(0.51)	%

The change in our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the significant decrease in market rates over this time period that has caused offering rates for interest-bearing liabilities to decrease more than offering rates for earning assets. In addition, the increase in fed funds sold and PPP loan program have caused an overall shortening of the balance sheet, creating a larger asset sensitive position in a rising rate environment. These factors have caused the Company’s balance sheet to become more asset sensitive in the next 12 months, where interest rate increases translate into higher net interest income. Management believes the change in projected net interest income from interest rate shifts of up 200 bps and down 200 bps is an acceptable level of interest rate risk.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

Effects of Inflation

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since financial institutions make few significant capital or inventory expenditures, which are directly affected by changing prices. Because bank assets and liabilities are virtually all monetary in nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much as do changes in interest rates. The general level of inflation does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do prices of goods and services. Rather, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy.

Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate capital to asset ratio. In the opinion of management, inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company’s operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 6, 2020 and, based on their evaluation, have concluded the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ending June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation

As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness mentioned above. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2020.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

Pension In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans -General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL). The revised accounting guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require a company to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. It also amends the credit loss measurement guidance for available-for-sale debt securities and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. This new accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. While the Company generally expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, the Company has not determined the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has formed a committee and is continuing to evaluate the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements by assessing different credit risk models. As a result of the FASB issuing a delay in the implementation of this ASU, the Company will extend its evaluation process over the new implementation deadline of January 1, 2023.

Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting

principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the reference rate reform on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this Item is set forth in Commitments and Contingencies, Pending Litigation, in our Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the following risk factor applies to the Company.

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) has adversely impacted, or an outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases could adversely impact certain industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their obligations to the Company. Further, the spread of the outbreak could lead to an economic recession or other severe disruptions in the U.S. economy and may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

The spread of highly infectious or contagious diseases could cause, and the spread of COVID-19 has caused, severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and for small businesses in particular, which could disrupt the Company’s operations. We are starting to see the impact from COVID-19 on our business, and we believe that it will be significant, adverse and potentially material. Currently, COVID-19 is spreading through the United States and the world. The resulting concerns on the part of the U.S. and global population have created the threat of a recession, reduced economic activity and a significant correction in the global stock markets. We expect that we will experience significant disruption across our business due to these effects, leading to decreased earnings, significant slowdowns in our loan collections and loan defaults.

COVID-19 may impact businesses’ and consumers’ desire and willingness to borrow money, which would negatively impact loan volumes. In addition, certain of our borrowers are in or have exposure to the hospitality, restaurant, gaming, and long-term health care industries and/or are located in areas that are quarantined or under stay-at-home orders, and COVID-19 may also have an adverse effect on our commercial real estate, and consumer loan portfolios. A prolonged quarantine or stay-at-home order would have an adverse impact on these borrowers and their revenue streams, which consequently impacts their ability to meet their financial obligations and could result in loan defaults.

The outbreak of COVID-19 or an outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases may result in a decrease in our customers’ businesses, a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally, an increase in unemployment or a disruption in the services provided by the Company’s vendors. Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans, declines in assets under management and wealth management revenues, negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability and negatively impact the implementation of our growth strategy.

The Company relies upon its third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide the Company with these services, it could negatively impact the Company’s ability to serve its customers. Furthermore, the outbreak could negatively impact the ability of the Company’s employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which the Company operates and could create widespread business continuity issues for the Company. The Company also could be

adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas. Although the Company has business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.

Management believes that the economic impact from COVID-19 will be severe and could have a material and adverse impact on our business and that it could result in significant losses in our loan portfolio, all of which would adversely and materially impact our earnings and capital.
