Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “LOB”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina incorporated under the laws of North Carolina in December 2008. The Company conducts business operations primarily through its commercial bank subsidiary, Live Oak Banking Company (the “Bank”). The Bank was established in May 2008 as a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank. The Bank specializes in providing lending services to small businesses nationwide in targeted industries. The Bank identifies and grows within credit-worthy industries through expertise within those industries. A significant portion of the loans originated by the Bank are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the 7(a) program. On July 28, 2015 the Company completed its initial public offering. In 2010, the Bank formed Live Oak Number One, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to hold properties foreclosed on by the Bank.

During 2011, the Company formed Independence Aviation, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the purpose of purchasing and operating aircraft used for business purposes of the Company. The net assets of Independence Aviation, LLC were transferred to the Company and the Bank effective December 31, 2015 resulting in its dissolution.

In addition to the Bank, the Company owns Live Oak Grove, LLC, opened in September 2015 for the purpose of providing Company employees and business visitors an on-site restaurant location, Government Loan Solutions, Inc. (“GLS”), a management and technology consulting firm that specializes in the settlement, accounting, and securitization processes for government guaranteed loans, including loans originated under the SBA 7(a) loan program and USDA-guaranteed loans, and 504 Fund Advisors, LLC (“504FA”), formed to serve as the investment adviser to the 504 Fund, a closed-end mutual fund organized to invest in SBA section 504 loans.

The Company acquired control over 504FA, previously carried as an equity method investment, on February 2, 2015 by increasing its ownership from 50.0% to 91.3%. The acquisition of an additional 41.3% of ownership occurred in exchange for contingent consideration estimated to total $170 thousand. Transactions in the third quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016 increased the Company’s ownership to 92.9%. With 7.1% of ownership remaining with a third party investor, amounts of earnings and equity in 504FA attributable to the third party investor are now disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as related to a noncontrolling interest.

The Company earns revenue primarily from the sale of SBA-guaranteed loans. This income is comprised of net gains on the sale of loans, revenues on the servicing of sold loans and valuation of loan servicing rights. Net interest income is another contributor to earnings. Offsetting these revenues are the cost of funding sources, provision for loan losses, any costs related to foreclosed assets and other operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, travel, professional services, advertising and marketing and tax expense.

General

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 14, 2016 (SEC File No. 001-37497) (the "2015 Annual Report"). A summary description of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company is set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company's 2015 Annual Report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Amounts in all tables in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented in thousands, except percentage, time period, stock option, share and per share data or where otherwise indicated.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Business Segments

Management has determined that the Company has one significant operating segment, which is providing a lending platform for small businesses nationwide. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers the materiality of a potential segment, the components of the business about which financial information is available, and components for which management regularly evaluates relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.

Loans Reclassified to Held for Investment

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are classified as held for investment ("HFI") and reported at their outstanding principal amount adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premium or discount on purchased loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. Loans originated and intended for sale are classified as held for sale ("HFS") and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Bank transferred $318.8 million in unguaranteed loans from the HFS category to the HFI category to better reflect intentions of the Company.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the un-collectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Upon transfer from held for sale classification, loans held for investment become subject to the allowance for loan loss review process. As a result of this process, the above mentioned $318.8 million loan reclassification resulted in a $4.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2016.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company also implemented enhancements to the methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses, including refinements to the measurement of qualitative factors in the estimation process. Management believes these enhancements will improve the precision of the process for estimating the allowance, but did not fundamentally change the Company's approach. These revisions resulted in a $390 thousand reduction in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2016.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year. Net income and shareholders’ equity previously reported were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”). This guidance amends the previously issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in order to determine if revenue will be recognized on a gross or net basis. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions for items including income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and the Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" ("ASU 2016-10"). This guidance amends the previously issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2016-10 clarifies the guidance related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" ("ASU 2016-12"). This guidance also amends the previously issued ASU No. 2014-09 to clarify guidance related to collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. The amendments will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current standards with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the implementation of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur, upon the exercise of stock options or upon the vesting of restricted stock grants, any of which would result in the issuance of common stock that would then be shared in the net income of the Company.

These unrealized losses are primarily the result of volatility in the market and are related to market interest rates. Since none of the unrealized losses relate to marketability of the securities or the issuer’s ability to honor redemption obligations, none of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

All residential mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were backed by US government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”).

The following is a summary of investment securities by maturity:

Total	42,478		42,603

Total	$	64,496	$	64,786

The table above reflects contractual maturities. Actual results will differ as the loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities may repay sooner than scheduled. This table excludes the 504 Fund mutual fund investment.

Note 5. Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loan Portfolio Segments

The following describes the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments. Each loan category is assigned a risk grade during the origination and closing process based on criteria described later in this section.

Commercial and Industrial

Commercial and industrial loans (C&I) receive similar underwriting treatment as commercial real estate loans in that the repayment source is analyzed to determine its ability to meet cash flow coverage requirements as set forth by Bank policies. Repayment of the Bank’s C&I loans generally comes from the generation of cash flow as the result of the borrower’s business operations. This business cycle itself brings a certain level of risk to the portfolio. In some instances, these loans may carry a higher degree of risk due to a variety of reasons – illiquid collateral, specialized equipment, highly depreciable assets, uncollectable accounts receivable, revolving balances, or simply being unsecured. As a result of these characteristics, the SBA guarantee on these loans is an important factor in mitigating risk.

Construction and Development

Construction and development loans are for the purpose of acquisition and development of land to be improved through the construction of commercial buildings. Such loans are usually paid off through the conversion to permanent financing for the long-term benefit of the borrower’s ongoing operations. At the completion of the project, if the loan is converted to permanent financing or if scheduled loan amortization begins, it is then reclassified to the “Commercial Real Estate” segment. Underwriting of construction and development loans typically includes analysis of not only the borrower’s financial condition and ability to meet the required debt obligations, but also the general market conditions associated with the area and type of project being funded.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans are extensions of credit secured by owner occupied and non-owner occupied collateral. Underwriting generally involves intensive analysis of the financial strength of the borrower and guarantor, liquidation value of the subject collateral, the associated unguaranteed exposure, and any available secondary sources of repayment, with the greatest emphasis given to a borrower’s capacity to meet cash flow coverage requirements as set forth by Bank policies. Such repayment of commercial real estate loans is commonly derived from the successful ongoing operations of the business occupying the property. These typically include small businesses and professional practices.

Commercial Land

Commercial land loans are extensions of credit secured by farmland. Such loans are often for land improvements related to agricultural endeavors that may include construction of new specialized facilities. These loans are usually repaid through the conversion to permanent financing, or if scheduled loan amortization begins, for the long-term benefit of the borrower’s ongoing operations. Underwriting generally involves intensive analysis of the financial strength of the borrower and guarantor, liquidation value of the subject collateral, the associated unguaranteed exposure, and any available secondary sources of repayment, with the greatest emphasis given to a borrower’s capacity to meet cash flow coverage requirements as set forth by Bank policies.

Each of the loan types referenced in the sections above is further segmented into verticals in which the Bank chooses to operate. The Bank chooses to finance businesses operating in specific industries because of certain similarities. The similarities range from historical default and loss characteristics to business operations. However, there are differences that create the necessity to underwrite these loans according to varying criteria and guidelines. When underwriting a loan, the Bank considers numerous factors such as cash flow coverage, the credit scores of the guarantors, revenue growth, practice ownership experience and debt service capacity. Minimum guidelines have been set with regard to these various factors and deviations from those guidelines require compensating strengths when considering a proposed loan.

Credit Risk Profile

The Bank uses internal loan reviews to assess the performance of individual loans by industry segment. An independent review of the loan portfolio is performed annually by an external firm. The goal of the Bank’s annual review of select borrowers' financial performance is to validate the adequacy of the risk grade assigned.

The Bank uses a grading system to rank the quality of each loan. The grade is periodically evaluated and adjusted as performance dictates. Loan grades 1 through 4 are passing grades and grade 5 is special mention. Collectively, grades 6 through 8 represent classified loans in the Bank’s portfolio. The following guidelines govern the assignment of these risk grades:

Exceptional Loans (1 Rated): These loans are of the highest quality, with strong, well-documented sources of repayment. Debt service coverage (“DSC”) is over 1.75X based on historical results. Secondary source of repayment is strong, with a loan to value (“LTV”) of 65% or less if secured solely by commercial real estate (“CRE”). Discounted collateral coverage from all sources should exceed 125%. Guarantors have credit scores above 740.

Quality Loans (2 Rated): These loans are of good quality, with good, well-documented sources of repayment. DSC is over 1.25X based on historical or pro-forma results. Secondary source of repayment is good, with a LTV of 75% or less if secured solely by CRE. Discounted collateral coverage should exceed 100%. Guarantors have credit scores above 700.

Acceptable Loans (3 rated): These loans are of acceptable quality, with acceptable sources of repayment. DSC of over 1.00X based on historical or pro-forma results. Companies that do not meet these credit metrics must be evaluated to determine if they should be graded below this level.

Acceptable Loans (4 rated): These loans are considered very weak pass. These loans are riskier than a 3-rated credit, but due to various mitigating factors are not considered a Special mention or worse. The mitigating factors must clearly be identified to offset further downgrade. Examples of loans that may be put in this category include start-up loans and loans with less than 1:1 cash flow coverage with other sources of repayment.

Special mention (5 rated): These loans are considered as emerging problems, with potentially unsatisfactory characteristics. These loans require greater management attention. A loan may be put into this category if the Bank is unable to obtain financial reporting from a company to fully evaluate its position.

Substandard (6 rated): Loans graded Substandard are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the borrower, or pledged collateral. They typically have unsatisfactory characteristics causing more than acceptable levels of risk, and have one or more well-defined weaknesses that could jeopardize the repayment of the debt.

Doubtful (7 rated): Loans graded Doubtful have inherent weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full questionable. Loans graded Doubtful must be placed on non-accrual status.

Loss (8 rated): Loss rated loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an active Bank asset is not warranted. The asset should be charged off, even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans that become 90 days delinquent, or in cases where there is evidence that the borrower’s ability to make the required payments is impaired, are placed in nonaccrual status and interest accrual is discontinued. If interest on nonaccrual loans had been accrued in accordance with the original terms, interest income would have increased by approximately $162 thousand and $102 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 interest income would have increased approximately $301 thousand and $261 thousand, respectively. All nonaccrual loans are included in the held for investment portfolio.

Nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

Allowance for Loan Loss Methodology

The methodology and the estimation process for calculating the Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”) is described below:

Estimated credit losses should meet the criteria for accrual of a loss contingency, i.e., a provision to the ALL, set forth in GAAP. The Company’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of GAAP, the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other regulatory and accounting pronouncements. The ALL is determined by the sum of three separate components: (i) the impaired loan component, which addresses specific reserves for impaired loans; (ii) the general reserve component, which addresses reserves for pools of homogeneous loans; and (iii) an unallocated reserve component (if any) based on management’s judgment and experience. The loan pools and impaired loans are mutually exclusive; any loan that is impaired is excluded from its homogenous pool for purposes of that pool’s reserve calculation, regardless of the level of impairment.

The ALL policy for pooled loans is governed in accordance with banking regulatory guidance for homogenous pools of non-impaired loans that have similar risk characteristics. The Company follows a consistent and structured approach for assessing the need for reserves within each individual loan pool.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted, or reasonably modified, terms of the loan agreement. The Company has determined that loans that meet the criteria defined below must be reviewed quarterly to determine if they are impaired.


•	All commercial loans classified substandard or worse.


•	Any other delinquent loan that is in a nonaccrual status, or any loan that is delinquent more than 89 days and still accruing interest.


•	Any loan which has been modified such that it meets the definition of a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR).

Prior to December 31, 2015, all loans subject to impairment recognition were individually evaluated for impairment. Effective December 31, 2015, the Company’s policy for impaired loan accounting subjects all loans to impairment recognition; however, loan relationships with unguaranteed credit exposure of less than $100,000 are generally not evaluated on an individual basis for impairment and instead are evaluated collectively using a methodology based on historical specific reserves on similar sized loans. Any loan not meeting the above criteria and determined to be impaired is subjected to an impairment analysis, which is a calculation of the probable loss on the loan. This portion is the loan’s “impairment,” and is established as a specific reserve against the loan, or charged against the ALL. This revision to the allowance methodology did not have a material impact on the allowance recorded at December 31, 2015.

Individual specific reserve amounts imply probability of loss and may not be carried in the reserve indefinitely. When the amount of the actual loss becomes reasonably quantifiable, the amount of the loss is charged off against the ALL, whether or not all liquidation and recovery efforts have been completed. If the total amount of the individual specific reserve that will eventually be charged off cannot yet be sufficiently quantified but some portion of the impairment can be viewed as a confirmed loss, then the confirmed loss portion should be charged off against the ALL and the individual specific reserve reduced by a corresponding amount.

For impaired loans, the reserve amount is calculated on a loan-specific basis. The Company utilizes two methods of analyzing impaired loans not guaranteed by the SBA:


•	The Fair Market Value of Collateral method utilizes the value at which the collateral could be sold considering the appraised value, appraisal discount rate, prior liens and selling costs. The amount of the reserve is the deficit of the estimated collateral value compared to the loan balance.


•	The Present Value of Future Cash Flows method takes into account the amount and timing of cash flows and the effective interest rate used to discount the cash flows.

Note 6. Servicing Assets

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheet. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were $2.12 billion and $1.94 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The following summarizes the activity pertaining to servicing rights:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Balance at beginning of period	$	47,377		$	38,457		$	44,230		$	34,999
Additions, net	3,243			3,373			6,958			6,709
Fair value changes:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions	(262		)	(955		)	$	559		$	451
Decay due to increases in principal paydowns or runoff	(1,904		)	(892		)	$	(3,293	)	$	(2,176	)
Balance at end of period	$	48,454		$	39,983		$	48,454		$	39,983

The fair value of servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 7.6% to 13.1% on June 30, 2016, and 7.1% to 12.4% on June 30, 2015. The fair value of servicing rights was determined using prepayment speeds ranging from 3.4% to 10.1% on June 30, 2016 and 4.2% to 9.6% on June 30, 2015, depending on the stratification of the specific right. Changes to fair value are reported in loan servicing asset revaluation within the consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates rise on variable rate loans, loan prepayments increase due to an increase in refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of servicing assets. Measurement of fair value is limited to the conditions existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different time.

On September 11, 2014, the Company financed the construction of an additional building located on the Company’s Tiburon Drive main campus with a $24 million construction line of credit with an unaffiliated commercial bank, secured by both properties at its Tiburon Drive main facility location. Payments are interest only through September 11, 2016 at a fixed rate of 3.95% for a term of 84 months. Monthly principal and interest payments beginning in October 2016 will be $146 thousand with all principal and accrued interest due on September 11, 2021. The terms of this loan require the Company to maintain minimum capital, liquidity and Texas ratios. The construction line is fully disbursed and there was no remaining available credit on this construction line at June 30, 2016.	$	23,995	$	24,000
On September 18, 2014, the Company entered into a note payable revolving line of credit of $8.1 million with an unaffiliated commercial bank, with the first advance of $5 million on December 14, 2014. The note is unsecured and accrues interest at LIBOR plus 3.50% for a term of 36 months. Payments are interest only with all principal and accrued interest due on September 18, 2017. This line of credit was paid in full on July 30, 2015 and there is $8.1 million of available credit remaining at June 30, 2016.	—		—
On February 23, 2015, the Company transferred two related party loans to an unaffiliated commercial bank in exchange for $4.7 million. The exchange price equated to the unpaid principal balance plus accrued but uncollected interest at the time of transfer. The terms of the transfer agreement with the unaffiliated commercial bank identified the transaction as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes. Interest accrues at prime plus 1% with monthly principal and interest payments over a term of 60 months. The interest rate at June 30, 2016 is 4.50%. The maturity date is October 5, 2019. The pledged collateral is classified in other assets with a fair value of $4.2 million at June 30, 2016. Underlying loans carry a risk grade of 3 and are current with no delinquencies. The terms of this loan require the Company to maintain minimum capital, liquidity and Texas ratios.	4,178		4,375

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hierarchy

There are three levels of inputs in the fair value hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value. Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation can be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The following sections provide a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Investment Securities: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flow or at net asset value per share. Level 2 securities would include US government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed mutual fund and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: Impairment of a loan is based on the fair value of the collateral of the loan for collateral-dependent loans. Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. For non-collateral dependent loans, impairment is determined by the present value of expected future cash flows. Impaired loans classified as Level 3 are based on management’s judgment and estimation.

Servicing Assets: Servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of servicing rights using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including servicing income, servicing costs, market discount rates and prepayment speeds. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed real estate is adjusted to fair value less selling costs upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed real estate. Subsequently, foreclosed real estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. Given the lack of observable market prices for identical properties and market discounts applied to appraised values, the Company generally classifies foreclosed assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

Estimated Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

GAAP also requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments carried at book value on the balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments not measured at fair value on the balance sheets:

Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate their fair values.

Certificates of deposit with other banks: The fair value of certificates of deposit with other banks is estimated based on discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Loans held for sale: The fair values of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, and determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.

Loans held for investment: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short and long term borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s short term borrowings approximate fair value while long term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental debt rates for similar types of debt arrangements.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Management believes that the outcome of such proceedings will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Financial Instruments with Off-balance-sheet Risk

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Live Oak Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Company’s commitments is as follows:



	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Commitments to extend credit	$	1,185,541	$	737,572
Standby letters of credit	343		—
Plexus Capital - Fund II Investment Commitment	100		100
Plexus Capital - Fund III Investment Commitment	250		300
Five Points Mezzanine Fund III Commitment	1,464		1,500
Total unfunded off-balance sheet credit risk	$	1,187,698	$	739,472

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 many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties. In 2012, the Company began issuing commitment letters after approval of the loan by the Credit Department. Commitment letters generally expire ninety days after issuance.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which the Company deems necessary.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Although the Company is not subject to any geographic concentrations, a substantial amount of the Company’s loans and commitments to extend credit have been granted to customers in the independent pharmacy and veterinary verticals. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 5. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. The Company does not have a significant number of credits to any single borrower or group of related borrowers whereby their retained unguaranteed exposure exceeds $2.0 million, except for seven relationships that have a retained unguaranteed exposure of $21.0 million.

The Company from time-to-time may have cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions that exceed federally-insured limits.

Note 10. Stock Plans

On March 20, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan which replaced the previously existing Amended Incentive Stock Option Plan and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. Subsequently on May 24, 2016, the 2015 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was amended to authorize awards covering a maximum of 7,000,000 common voting shares and has an expiration date of March 20, 2025. Options or restricted shares granted under the Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") expire no more than 10 years from the date of grant. Exercise prices under the Plan are set by the Board of Directors at the date of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of fair market value of the related stock at the date of the grant. Options or restricted shares vest over a minimum of three years from the date of the grant.

Stock Options

Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions are recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $581 thousand and $177 thousand in compensation expense for stock options, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $1.2 million and $295 thousand in compensation expense for stock options, respectively.

Stock option activity under the plan during the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is summarized below.

Forfeited	66,319	0.83
Non-vested at June 30, 2015	2,123,568	$	2.26

The total intrinsic value of options exercised at June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $144 thousand and $218 thousand, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation costs relating to stock options amounted to $13.9 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.60 years.

The weighted average fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Weighted average assumptions used for options granted during 2016 were as follows: risk free rate of 1.56%, dividend yield of 0.05%, volatility of 44.20% and average life of 7 years.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are authorized in the form of restricted stock awards or units ("RSU"s) and restricted stock awards or units with a market price condition ("Market RSU"s).

RSUs have a restriction based on the passage of time and may also have a restriction based on a non-market-related performance criteria. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price on the date of the grant.

Market RSUs also have a restriction based on the passage of time and non-market-related performance criteria, but also have a restriction based on market price criteria related to the Company’s share price closing at or above $34.00 per share for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time prior to March 23, 2023. The amount of Market RSUs earned will not exceed 100% of the Market RSUs awarded. The fair value of the Market RSUs is calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method.

RSU stock activity under the plan during the first six months of 2016 is summarized below.



	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2015	64,271	$	16.17
Granted	520,744	15.86
Vested	2,776	10.63
Forfeited	447	10.63
Non-vested at June 30, 2016	581,792	$	15.92

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $8 thousand in compensation expense for RSUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $2.2 million and $16 thousand in compensation expense for RSUs, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation costs relating to RSUs amounted to $7.0 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.77 years.

The compensation expense for Market RSUs is measured based on their grant date fair value as calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the average vesting period. Related to the 850,000 Market RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Monte Carlo Simulation used 100,000 simulation paths to assess the expected date of achieving the market price criteria. The share price simulation was based on the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein option pricing methodology for a period of 6.83 years. The implied term of the restricted stock was 4.2 years. The Monte Carlo Simulation used various assumptions that include a risk free rate of return of 1.68%, expected volatility of 30.00% and a dividend yield of 0.25%.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $231 thousand in compensation expense for Market RSUs. All of the Company's Market RSUs had an effective grant date of May 24, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation costs relating to Market RSUs amounted to $5.8 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.17 years.

Nature of Operations

LOB is a bank holding company headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina incorporated under the laws of North Carolina in December 2008. The Company conducts business operations primarily through its commercial bank subsidiary, Live Oak Banking Company (the “Bank”). The Bank was established in May 2008 as a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank. The Bank specializes in providing lending services to small businesses nationwide in targeted industries. The Bank identifies and grows within selected industry sectors, or verticals, by leveraging expertise within those industries. A significant portion of the loans originated by the Bank are guaranteed by the SBA under the 7(a) program. In 2010, the Bank formed Live Oak Number One, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to hold properties foreclosed on by the Bank.

Effective July 29, 2016, the Company elected to become a “financial holding company” within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act. A financial holding company, and the nonbank companies under its control, are permitted to engage in activities considered financial in nature or incidental to financial activities. For the Company to become and remain eligible for financial holding company status, it and the Bank must meet certain criteria, including capital, management and Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements. The failure to meet such criteria could, depending on which requirements were not met, result in the Company facing restrictions on new financial activities or acquisitions or being required to discontinue existing activities that are not otherwise permissible for bank holding companies.

In addition to the Bank, the Company owns Live Oak Grove, LLC, opened in September 2015 for the purpose of providing Company employees and business visitors an on-site restaurant location, Government Loan Solutions, Inc. (“GLS”), a management and technology consulting firm that specializes in the settlement, accounting, and securitization processes for government guaranteed loans, including loans originated under the SBA 7(a) loan program and USDA-guaranteed loans, and 504 Fund Advisors, LLC (“504FA”), which was formed to serve as the investment advisor to The 504 Fund, a closed-end mutual fund organized to invest in SBA section 504 loans.

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of SBA-guaranteed loans and net interest income. Income from the sale of loans is comprised of loan servicing revenue and related revaluation of the servicing rights asset and net gains on sales of loans. Offsetting these revenues are the cost of funding sources, provision for loan losses, any costs related to foreclosed assets and other operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, travel, professional services, advertising and marketing and tax expense.

On July 23, 2015 the Company closed on its initial public offering.

Business Outlook

Below is a discussion of management’s current expectations regarding company performance over the near-term based on market conditions, the regulatory environment and business strategies as of the time the Company filed this Report. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. See “Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report for more information on forward-looking statements.

The Company expects to originate approximately $1.50 billion in loans in 2016. Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, the Company plans to reduce the volume of guaranteed loans sold and begin retaining on its balance sheet up to approximately 25% of the aggregate balance of newly originated guaranteed loans that are otherwise eligible for sale in the secondary market. This plan to extend the duration of the holding period for a portion of loans held for sale combined with the second quarter 2016 transfer of $318.8 million in unguaranteed loans from held for sale to held for investment reflects the Company's strategic intention to retain more loans for its own portfolio in order to enhance net interest income in future periods. In light of management's current plans to hold more loans on balance sheet, the Company expects to sell $620 to $640 million dollars of guaranteed loans in the secondary market for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and the Company's total loan portfolio on balance sheet will be $1.35 to $1.45 billion at year-end.

The Company expects $6.7 million in additional stock based compensation expense during the second half of 2016 related to restricted stock awards for key employee retention with an effective grant date of May 24, 2016, as discussed in Note 10 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Subsequent expense after 2016 related to these awards will be approximately $350 thousand per quarter through the third quarter of 2020.

Results of Operations

Performance Summary

Three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with three months ended June 30, 2015

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $123 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, as compared to $3.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in net income is primarily due to the following items:

•

Increased provision for loan losses of $3.4 million driven by a transfer of $318.8 million in unguaranteed loans from being classified as held for sale to held for investment. Upon transfer from held for sale classification, loans held for investment become subject to the allowance for loan loss review process. As a result of this process, there was a $4.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2016 attributable to this loan reclassification.


•	Decrease in net gains on sales of loans of $1.2 million, or 7.4%, principally related to the timing of settlements on contracted loan sales; and

•

Increased noninterest expense, predominately in salaries and employee benefits of $6.1 million, or 65.4%, combined with higher data processing expenses of $682 thousand, or 94.5%, both arising primarily from increased investments in human capital and infrastructure to support growing loan production from new and existing verticals as well as development of a new small-loan and deposit platform. Salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2016 also included $2.2 million in stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards with an effective grant date of May 24, 2016 for key employee retention, as discussed in Note 10 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q .

Partially offsetting the above items was a 82.5% increase in net interest income of $4.5 million combined with an increase in loan servicing revenue and revaluation of $1.7 million, or 96.2%.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with six months ended June 30, 2015

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $4.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to $12.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in net income is primarily attributable to the following items:


•	Increased provision for loan losses of $3.8 million driven by the above mentioned transfer of $318.8 million in unguaranteed loans from being classified as held for sale to held for investment during the second quarter of 2016.

•

Decreased noninterest income of $410 thousand, or 1.0%, predominately driven by the absence of a one-time gain of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 related to the sale of an investment in nCino, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company (“nCino”) combined with net gains on sales of loans remaining relatively static with a decrease of $200 thousand. Partially offsetting negative variances to noninterest income was a $2.4 million increase in loan servicing revenue and revaluation arising principally from higher levels of servicing revenue with minimal negative valuation adjustments.

Table of Contents


•	Increased noninterest expense, predominantly in salaries and employee benefits of $10.7 million, or 60.7%, combined with $1.0 million, or 84.7%, in occupancy expense and $997 thousand, or 61.7%, in data processing expense, all arising from the same driving factors discussed for the above three month comparative discussion.

Partially offsetting the above factors that contributed to decreased levels of net income was increased net interest income of $8.1 million, or 77.6%.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income represents the difference between the income that the Company earns on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates that the Company earns or pays on them. Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “volume changes.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as “rate changes.” As a bank without a branch network, the Bank gathers deposits over the Internet and in the community in which it is headquartered. Due to the nature of a branchless bank and the relatively low overhead required for deposit gathering, the rates that the Bank offers are generally above the industry average.

Three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with three months ended June 30, 2015

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 82.5%, to $9.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was due to growth in average interest earning assets and an increased yield on interest earning assets outpacing the growth and change in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets increased by $480.8 million, or 65.0%, to $1.22 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $739.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, while the yield on average interest earning assets increased by twenty-four basis points to 4.41%. The cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased slightly by one basis point to 1.26%, and the average balance in interest bearing liabilities increased by $392.8 million, or 54.7%, over the same period. As indicated in the rate/volume table below, the slight increase in the cost of funds was outpaced by the effects of the increased volume of interest earning assets along with increased yields, resulting in increased interest income of $5.7 million and increased interest expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, net interest margin increased from 2.95% to 3.26% due to the aforementioned effects.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with six months ended June 30, 2015

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net interest income increased $8.1 million, or 77.6%, to $18.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was also due to increased yields and growth in average interest earning assets. Average interest earning assets increased by $390.4 million, or 54.5%, to $1.11 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $716.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, while the yield on average interest earning assets increased by thirty-six basis points to 4.49%. The cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased slightly by two basis points to 1.24%, and the average balance in interest bearing liabilities increased by $310.5 million, or 45.0% during the same period. As indicated in the rate/volume table below, the slight increase in the cost of funds was outpaced by the effects of the increased yields and volume of interest earning assets, resulting in increased interest income of $10.1 million and increased interest expense of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, net interest margin increased from 2.95% to 3.38% due to the aforementioned effects.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by current volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses represents the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is appropriate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A number of factors are considered in determining the required level of loan loss reserves and the provision required to achieve the appropriate reserve level, including loan growth, credit risk rating trends, nonperforming loan levels, delinquencies, loan portfolio concentrations and economic and market trends.

The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2016 was $3.5 million compared to $50 thousand for the same period of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the provision for loan losses was $4.9 million, an increase of $3.8 million compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2015. The increase in the provision for loan losses for both quarter over quarter and year to year periods was principally driven by a large transfer of loans from held for sale status to held for investment, partially offset by the effects of positive credit conditions and revisions to the allowance for loan loss model, as discussed below.

During the second quarter of 2016 the Company implemented new policies designed to accelerate the ongoing growth of recurring revenues and reduce the market-related volatility of its revenue streams by increasing the level of loans retained on the balance sheet. Consequently, during the second quarter of 2016 the Company transferred $318.8 million in unguaranteed SBA loans from being classified as held for sale to held for investment. Timing of the transfer was largely influenced by the intent and ability to retain quality credits with higher long term yields. Upon transfer from held for sale classification, loans held for investment become subject to the allowance for loan loss review process. As a result, this loan reclassification necessitated a $4.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2016.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company also implemented enhancements to the methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses, including refinements to the measurement of qualitative factors in the estimation process. Management believes these enhancements will improve the precision of the process for estimating the allowance. The Company estimates that these revisions to the allowance methodology resulted in an approximately $390 thousand reduction in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2016.

Losses inherent in loan relationships are mitigated by the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. A typical SBA 7(a) loan carries a 75% guarantee, which reduces the risk profile of these loans. The Company believes that its focus on compliance with regulations and guidance from the SBA are key factors to managing this risk.

Net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(240) thousand, or (0.18%) of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net charge-offs of $101 thousand, or 0.17%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, at June 30, 2016, nonperforming loans not guaranteed by the SBA totaled $2.2 million, which was 0.3% of the held-for-investment loan portfolio compared to $3.1 million, or 1.3%, of loans held for investment at June 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is principally comprised of net gains from the sale of SBA-guaranteed loans along with loan servicing revenue and revaluation. Revenue from the sale of loans depends upon the volume and rates of underlying loans as well as the pricing and availability of funds in the secondary markets prevailing in the period between completed loan funding and closing of sale. In addition, the loan servicing revaluation is significantly impacted by changes in market rates and other underlying assumptions such as prepayment speeds and default rates. Other less common elements of noninterest income include nonrecurring gains and losses on investments.

The following table shows the components of noninterest income and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Total noninterest income	$	41,780		$	42,190		$	(410	)	(0.97	)%

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest income increased by $1.2 million, or 6.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. Increases in core revenue was isolated to the net growth in the serviced loan portfolio which generated $1.2 million of increased servicing revenue. Other primary contributors to the increased level of noninterest income were lower valuation expense adjustments to the servicing asset of $494 thousand combined with a $350 thousand increase in additional fees earned for monitoring higher levels of multi-advance loans in the second quarter of 2016. Offsetting the increase in noninterest income from the same period a year ago was a decrease in net gains on sales of loans of $1.2 million, or 7.4%, principally related to the timing of settlements on contracted loan sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest income decreased by $410 thousand, or (1.0%), compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Decreases in noninterest income were primarily the result of a $3.8 million one-time gain arising in the first quarter of 2015 related to the sale of the investment in nCino combined with net gains on sales of loans remaining relatively static with a decrease of $200 thousand and minimal change in servicing asset valuation expense adjustments of $45 thousand. Significantly offsetting negative variances to noninterest income was a $2.4 million increase in loan servicing revenue principally from growing levels of serviced loans combined with $764 thousand in additional fees earned for monitoring higher levels of multi-advance loans.

(1)	This represents the outstanding principal balance of guaranteed loans serviced, as of the last day of the applicable period, which have been sold into the secondary market.

Changes in various components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.

Loan Servicing Revenue: While portions of the loans that the Bank originates are sold and generate gain on sale revenue, servicing rights for all loans that the Bank originates, including loans sold, are retained by the Bank. In exchange for continuing to service loans that are sold, the Bank receives fee income represented in loan servicing revenue equivalent to one percent of the outstanding balance of the loans sold. In addition, the cost of servicing sold loans is approximately 0.40% of the balance of the loans sold, which is included in the loan servicing revaluation computations. Unrecognized servicing revenue is reflected in a servicing asset recorded on the balance sheet. Revenues associated with the servicing of loans are recognized over the expected life of the loan through the income statement, and the servicing asset is reduced as this revenue is recognized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, loan servicing revenue increased $1.2 million and $2.4 million, or 31.3% and 32.2%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, as a result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of guaranteed loans sold. At June 30, 2016, the outstanding balance of guaranteed loans sold in the secondary market was $1.97 billion, with a weighted average servicing rate of 1.06%. At June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of guaranteed loans sold was $1.50 billion, with a weighted average servicing rate of 1.09%. Prior to January 2010, the Company sold loans for servicing in excess of 1.0%. As loans sold for servicing fee rates in excess of 1.0% prior to fiscal year 2010 amortize, the Company expects that the weighted average servicing rate will approach and stabilize at approximately 1.0%.

Loan Servicing Revaluation: The Company revalues its serviced loan portfolio at least quarterly. The revaluation considers the amortization of the portfolio, current market conditions for loan sale premiums, and current prepayment speeds. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, there was a net negative loan servicing revaluation adjustment of $1.6 million compared to a net negative revaluation adjustment of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company had a net negative loan servicing valuation adjustment of $1.6 million for each period. The $494 thousand improvement in service valuation for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to an increase in the amortization rate of the serviced portfolio and a decline in the premium market.

Net Gains on Sale of Loans: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, net gains on sales of loans decreased $1.2 million and $200 thousand, or 7.4% and 0.6%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to a timing related decrease in the volume of guaranteed loans sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the volume of guaranteed loans sold decreased $1.6 million, or 1.2%, to $135.6 million from $137.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The volume of guaranteed loans sold in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $291.2 million, an increase of $17.0 million, or 6.2%, from $274.2 million in guaranteed loan sales in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The premium paid in the secondary market had a negative impact on the net gain on sale of loans. The average net gain on sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, was somewhat lower at $107 thousand and $106 thousand of revenue for each $1 million in loans sold, respectively, compared to $115 thousand and $114 thousand of revenue for each $1 million sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Total noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $8.3 million, or 49.4%, and $15.3 million, or 48.6%, compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in noninterest expense was predominately impacted by increased personnel, travel, occupancy, data processing and other expenses predominantly driven by the significant growth of the Company's core business. Other expenses is comprised of various expense categories that are predominantly driven by the growth of the Company. Changes in various components of noninterest expense are discussed below.

Table of Contents

Salaries and employee benefits: Total personnel expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $6.1 million, or 65.4%, and $10.7 million or 60.7%, compared to the same periods in 2015. This increase primarily resulted from further investment in human capital to support the growing loan production from new and existing verticals as well as development of a new small-loan and deposit platform. Full-time equivalent employees increased from 283 at June 30, 2015 to 371 at June 30, 2016, further supporting the increase in personnel expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense included $2.9 million and $184 thousand of stock based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.6 million and $310 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Expenses related to the employee stock purchase program, stock grants, stock options, stock option compensation and restricted stock expense are all considered stock based compensation.

Stock based compensation of $2.2 million is included in 2016 salaries and employee benefits related to restricted stock awards for key employee retention with an effective grant date of May 24, 2016 , as discussed in Note 10 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. On March 23, 2016, the 162(m) Subcommittee of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved these restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards covering a total of 1,357,500 shares of the Company's voting common stock; comprised of 507,500 shares related to RSU awards and 850,000 shares related to RSU awards with a market price condition of $34 per share. The vesting of the awards is subject to the Company achieving total revenue of at least $100 million for fiscal year 2016. In addition, vesting of the awards was subject to the approval by the Company's shareholders of certain amendments to the Company's 2015 Omnibus Plan, including an increase in the number of shares authorized under the 2015 Omnibus Plan, which were approved on May 24, 2016. The grant date of these awards was effective when shareholder approval was received. See Note 10 - Stock Plans for more information.

Travel expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, total travel expenses increased by $92 thousand, or 4.1%, and $462 thousand, or 12.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. Travel costs are an inherent function of the Company’s business strategy because the Company does not maintain branch locations across its national footprint. The increase in travel-related expenses was primarily driven by growing loan production (up $80.0 million, or 28.9%, and $116.5 million, or 22.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015). Travel costs also increased due to the Company’s customer relationship management strategy via the Company’s business advisory group, or BAG, as a result of servicing a $3.18 billion loan portfolio as of June 30, 2016. Travel expense represented 9.3% and 8.9% of total noninterest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Professional services expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the total cost of professional services increased by $362 thousand, or 66.1%, and $40 thousand, or 2.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to a shift in timing of outsourced internal audit combined with consulting services in the development of new verticals and the build out of the small-loan and deposit platforms.

Occupancy expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, total occupancy costs increased $319 thousand, or 43.3%, and $1.0 million, or 84.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The primary drivers of the increase in occupancy expense was increased levels of personnel who support loan production and portfolio service along with related infrastructure including a new building on the Company's main campus that was placed in service during the third quarter of 2015.

Data processing expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the total costs associated with data processing and development increased $682 thousand, or 94.5%, and $997 thousand, or 61.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. This increase was principally due to the increased levels of activity in the core system from the substantial growth in loan originations, software and applications to operate and expand the Company's digital platform.

Loan related expenses: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, total loan related expenses increased $387 thousand, or 165.4%, and $484 thousand, or 68.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. Loans guaranteed by the SBA are assessed a guarantee fee. The primary factor for the increase in loan related expenses is the Bank's continued growth in originations of SBA guaranteed loans, requiring higher levels of guarantee fees.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were 81.9% and 44.6%, respectively, compared to the effective tax rates of 41.3% and 40.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was higher than the corresponding periods in 2016 and 2015 principally due to higher levels of nondeductible expenses in 2016 in a quarter with a low level of pretax income.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

June 30, 2016 vs. December 31, 2015

Total assets at June 30, 2016 were $1.40 billion, an increase of $342.7 million, or 32.6%, compared to total assets of $1.05 billion at December 31, 2015. The growth in total assets was principally driven by the following:


•	Growth in loan originations combined with longer retention times of loans held for sale, comprised largely of loans in newer verticals which require a period of loan advances prior to being sold; and


•	Increased levels of deposits of $336.0 million, arising from a successful deposit gathering campaign.

Cash and cash equivalents were $175.5 million at June 30, 2016, an increase of $72.9 million, or 71.0%, compared to $102.6 million at December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of increases in the deposit portfolio.

Total investment securities increased $13.0 million during the first six months of 2016, from $53.8 million at December 31, 2015, to $66.8 million at June 30, 2016, an increase of 24.3%. The portfolio is comprised of US government agency securities, residential mortgage-backed securities and a mutual fund.

Loans held for sale decreased $151.4 million, or 31.5%, during the first six months of 2016, from $480.6 million at December 31, 2015, to $329.2 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of the aforementioned reclassification of $318.8 million of unguaranteed loans to held for investment classification, offset by strong growth in loan origination activities.

Loans held for investment increased $410.5 million, or 146.6%, during the first six months of 2016, from $280.0 million at December 31, 2015, to $690.5 million at June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of the transfer of $318.8 million in unguaranteed loans from held for sale to held for investment combined with robust loan growth from loan origination activities.

Servicing assets increased $4.2 million, or 9.6%, during the first six months of 2016, from $44.2 million at December 31, 2015, to $48.5 million at June 30, 2016. The increase in servicing assets is primarily the result of loan sales during the first half of 2016 significantly outpacing the amortization of the existing serviced portfolio.

Total deposits were $1.14 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $336.0 million, or 41.8%, from $804.8 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in deposits was driven by execution of deposit gathering campaigns to support the growth in loan originations.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2016 was $207.4 million as compared to $199.5 million at December 31, 2015. The book value per share was $6.06 at June 30, 2016 and average equity to average assets was 16.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a book value per share of $5.84 at December 31, 2015 and average equity to average assets of 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The change in shareholders’ equity principally represents net income to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $4.8 million combined with stock based compensation expense of $3.6 million partially offset by $1.0 million in dividends.

Asset Quality

Management considers asset quality to be of primary importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is used to identify and monitor problem loans. This function reports directly to the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.

Nonperforming Assets

The Bank places loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due as to principal or interest payments, or prior to that if management has determined based upon current information available to them that the timely collection of principal or interest is not probable. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued as income but not actually collected is reversed and recorded as a reduction of loan interest and fee income. Typically, collections of interest and principal received on a nonaccrual loan are applied to the outstanding principal as determined at the time of collection of the loan.

Troubled debt restructurings occur when, because of economic or legal reasons pertaining to the debtor’s financial difficulties, debtors are granted concessions that would not otherwise be considered. Such concessions would include, but are not limited to, the transfer of assets or the issuance of equity interests by the debtor to satisfy all or part of the debt, modification of the terms of debt or the substitution or addition of debtor(s).

Total nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2016 were $18.1 million, which represented an $830 thousand, or 4.8%, increase from December 31, 2015. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2016 were comprised of $12.9 million in nonaccrual loans and $3.0 million in foreclosed assets. Of the $18.1 million of nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), $13.4 million carried an SBA guarantee, leaving an unguaranteed exposure of $4.7 million in total nonperforming assets and TDRs at June 30, 2016. The unguaranteed exposure in total nonperforming assets and TDRs at December 31, 2015 was $4.5 million. Unguaranteed exposure relating to nonperforming assets and TDRs at June 30, 2016 increased by $206 thousand, or 4.6%, compared to December 31, 2015.

As a percentage of the Bank’s total capital, nonperforming loans represented 10.4% at June 30, 2016, compared to nonperforming loans of 12.0% of the Bank’s total capital at December 31, 2015. Adjusting the ratio to include only the unguaranteed portion of nonperforming loans to reflect the management’s belief that the greater magnitude of risk resides in this portion, the ratios at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were 1.8% and 2.0%, respectively.

Risk Grades 5 through 8 represent the spectrum of criticized and impaired loans. As of June 30, 2016, potential problem loans and impaired loans totaled $51.8 million with loans in the Veterinary and Healthcare industries, our two largest verticals, comprising 38.7% and 32.3%, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, potential problem and impaired loans totaled $41.0 million with loans in the Veterinary and Healthcare industry verticals comprising 50.2% and 27.0%, respectively. The majority of the impaired loans in the Veterinary industry were originated prior to 2010. The Company believes that its underwriting and credit quality standards have improved as the business has matured. At June 30, 2016, the portion of criticized loans guaranteed by the SBA totaled $20.8 million resulting in unguaranteed exposure risk of $31.0 million, or 4.7% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure. This compares to total criticized and impaired loans of $41.0 million at December 31, 2015, of which $17.2 million was guaranteed by the SBA.

Table of Contents

The Bank does not classify loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls as impaired. The Bank considers an “insignificant period of time” from payment delays to be a period of 90 days or less. The Bank would consider a modification for a customer experiencing what is expected to be a short term event that has temporarily impacted cash flow. This could be due, among other reasons, to illness, weather, impact from a one-time expense, slower than expected start-up, construction issues or other short term issues. In all cases, credit will review the request to determine if the customer is stressed and how the event has impacted the ability of the customer to repay the loan long term. To date, the only types of short term modifications the Bank has given are payment deferral and interest only extensions. The Bank does not typically alter the rate or lengthen the amortization of the note due to insignificant payment delays. Short term modifications are not classified as TDRs, because they do not meet the definition set by the applicable accounting standards and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Management endeavors to be proactive in its approach to identify and resolve criticized (Risk Grade 5) loans and is focused on working with the borrowers and guarantors of these loans to provide loan modifications when warranted. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Risk Grade 5 loans totaled $29.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively. The increase in Risk Grade 5 loans from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was principally confined to three verticals; Healthcare ($6.2 million or 50.7% of increase), Deathcare ($2.5 million or 20.5% of increase), and Agriculture ($1.8 million or 14.6% of increase). The underlying cause of the increase in Risk Grade 5 loans from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was ongoing maturation of legacy verticals combined with a $1.4 million positive migration of Risk Grade 6 loans to Risk Grade 5. At June 30, 2016, approximately 99.3% of loans classified as Risk Grade 5 are performing with no current payments past due. While the level of nonperforming assets fluctuates in response to changing economic and market conditions, the relative size and composition of the loan portfolio, and management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets, management believes that a proactive approach to early identification and intervention is critical to successfully managing a small business loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”), a material estimate which could change significantly in the near-term in the event of rapidly deteriorating credit quality, is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings to account for losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio and estimated to occur, and is maintained at a level that management considers appropriate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes that the collectibility of the principal loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL when received.

Judgment in determining the adequacy of the ALL is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available and as situations and information change.

The ALL is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions and trends that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay.

Estimated credit losses should meet the criteria for accrual of a loss contingency, i.e., a provision to the ALL, set forth in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Methodology for determining the ALL is generally based on GAAP, the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other regulatory and accounting pronouncements. The ALL is determined by the sum of three separate components: (i) the impaired loan component, which addresses specific reserves for impaired loans; (ii) the general reserve component, which addresses reserves for pools of homogeneous loans; and (iii) an unallocated reserve component (if any) based on management’s judgment and experience. The loan pools and impaired loans are mutually exclusive; any loan that is impaired should be excluded from its homogeneous pool for purposes of that pool’s reserve calculation, regardless of the level of impairment.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company implemented enhancements to the methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses, including refinements to the measurement of qualitative factors in the estimation process. Management believes these enhancements will improve the precision of the process for estimating the allowance.

Table of Contents

The ALL of $7.4 million at December 31, 2015 increased by $4.9 million, or 66.0%, to $12.3 million at June 30, 2016. The ALL, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 1.8% at June 30, 2016 and 2.6% at December 31, 2015. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was largely attributable to the earlier mentioned reclassification of $318.8 million in performing unguaranteed loans from held for sale to held for investment during the second quarter of 2016 combined with continued growth in the loan portfolio, partially offset by positive credit conditions. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans amounted to 1.48% at June 30, 2016 and 2.05% December 31, 2015. By transferring a $318.8 million pool of high quality unguaranteed credits into the held for investment portfolio, the allowance as a percentage of total loans held for investment and general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans declined as compared to December 31, 2015. Net charge-offs (recoveries) were $(240) thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net charge-offs of $101 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Annualized net charge-offs in the first six months of 2016 were 0.00% of average loans held for investment, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.30% in the same period of 2015.

Actual past due loans have declined, and loan charge-offs have declined as management continues to work to improve asset quality. Management believes the ALL of $12.3 million at June 30, 2016 is appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current events that it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current ALL or that future increases in the ALL will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the ALL, thus adversely affecting the Company’s operating results. Additional information on the ALL is presented in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included with this report.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management refers to the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements based primarily on activity in loan and deposit accounts of the Company’s customers. Liquidity is immediately available from four major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks; (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold; (c) the market value of unpledged investment securities; and (d) availability under lines of credit. At June 30, 2016, the total amount of these four items was $399.8 million, or 28.7% of total assets, an increase of $108.4 million from $291.4 million, or 27.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2015.

Loans and other assets are funded primarily by loan sales, wholesale deposits and core deposits. To date, an increasing retail deposit base and a level amount of brokered deposits have been adequate to meet loan obligations, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity. Additionally, an investment securities portfolio is available for both immediate and secondary liquidity purposes.

At June 30, 2016, none of the investment securities portfolio was pledged to secure public deposits or pledged to retail repurchase agreements, while $101 thousand was pledged for trust activities in the state of Ohio and $1.2 million was pledged for secured federal funds lines of credit, leaving $65.5 million available as lendable collateral.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity positions, or gaps. This method, however, addresses only the magnitude of timing differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios to more accurately measure interest rate risk.

The balance sheet is liability-sensitive with a total cumulative gap position of -1.355% at June 30, 2016. During 2016, a large volume of deposits were obtained through a nationwide campaign, resulting in the liability-sensitive gap position. A liability-sensitive position means that net interest income will generally move in the opposite direction as interest rates. For instance, if interest rates increase, net interest income can be expected to decrease, and if interest rates decrease, net interest income can be expected to increase. The Company attempts to mitigate interest rate risk with the majority of assets and liabilities being short-term, adjustable rate instruments. The quarterly revaluation adjustment to the servicing asset, however, adjusts in an opposite direction to interest rate changes. Asset/liability sensitivity is primarily derived from the prime-based loans that adjust as the prime interest rate changes and the longer duration of indeterminate term deposits.

Capital

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. The Company’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support the Company’s risk profile consistent with the risk appetite approved by the Board of Directors; provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs; comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance; achieve optimal credit ratings for the Company and its subsidiaries; and provide a competitive return to shareholders. Management regularly monitors the capital position of the Company on both a consolidated and bank level basis. In this regard, management’s goal is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of the regulatory “well capitalized” levels. Risk-based capital ratios, which include Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, are calculated based on regulatory guidance related to the measurement of capital and risk-weighted assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounting policies, as described in detail in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are an integral part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing the Company’s reported results of operations and financial position. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates listed below require the Company to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.


•	Determination of the allowance for loan losses;


•	Valuation of servicing assets; and


•	Valuation of foreclosed assets.

Changes in these estimates, that are likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that the Company could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management considers interest rate risk the most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Consistency of net interest income is largely dependent upon the effective management of interest rate risk.

The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk. See “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

The objective of asset/liability management is the maximization of net interest income within the Company’s risk guidelines. This objective is accomplished through management of the balance sheet composition, maturities, liquidity, and interest rate risk exposures arising from changing economic conditions, interest rates and customer preferences.

To identify and manage its interest rate risk, the Company employs an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates. The model is based on contractual cash flows and repricing characteristics and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities. The model also includes management projections for activity levels in each of the product lines offered by the Bank. Assumptions are inherently uncertain, and the measurement of net interest income or the impact of rate fluctuations on net interest income cannot be precisely predicted. Actual results may differ materially from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of June 30, 2016, the last day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016 in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management (including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has not evaluated any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016 due to a transition period established by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
