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 organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on February 25, 2008 and commenced operations on May 12, 2008. The Bank specializes in providing lending services to small businesses nationwide. The Bank identifies and grows lending to credit-worthy borrowers both within specific industries, also called verticals, through expertise within those industries, and more broadly to select borrowers outside of those industries. A significant portion of the loans originated by the Bank are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the 7(a) Loan Program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") Rural Energy for America Program ("REAP"), Business & Industry ("B&I") and Water & Waste Disposal (“WEP”) loan programs. On July 28, 2015 the Company completed its initial public offering with a secondary offering completed in August of 2017.

In 2010, the Bank formed Live Oak Number One, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to hold properties foreclosed on by the Bank.

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. As of May 1, 2019, 504FA exited as advisor for the 504 Fund.

In August 2016, the Company formed Live Oak Ventures, Inc. (formerly known as “Canapi, Inc.”) for the purpose of investing in businesses that align with the Company's strategic initiative to be a leader in financial technology.

In November 2016, the Company formed Live Oak Clean Energy Financing LLC (“LOCEF”) for the purpose of providing financing to entities for renewable energy applications. During the first quarter of 2019, LOCEF became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.

On February 1, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Reltco Inc. and National Assurance Title, Inc. (collectively referred to as "Reltco"), two nationwide title agencies under common control based in Tampa, Florida. Effective August 1, 2018, Reltco was sold.

In June 2018, the Bank formed Live Oak Private Wealth, LLC for the purpose of providing high-net-worth individuals and families with strategic wealth and investment management services.

In September 2018, the Company formed Canapi Advisors, LLC for the purpose of providing investment advisory services to a series of new funds focused on providing venture capital to new and emerging financial service technology companies.

The Company generates revenue primarily from net interest income and the origination and sale of government guaranteed loans. Income from the retention of loans is comprised of interest income. Income from the sale of loans is comprised of loan servicing revenue and revaluation of related servicing assets along with net gains on sales of loans. Offsetting these revenues are the cost of funding sources, provision for loan and lease 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 27, 2019 (SEC File No. 001-37497) (the "2018 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 2018 Annual Report. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company's 2018 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented in thousands, except percentage, time period, stock option, share and per share data or where otherwise indicated.

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.

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.

Accounting Change

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients provided under ASU 2016-02 whereby the Company will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has also applied the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the right-of-use assets. The Company does not apply the recognition and measurement requirements to any short-term leases (as defined by ASU 2016-02). The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components separately because such amounts are readily determinable under the lease contracts. The Company utilized the modified-retrospective transition approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”). The implementation of the new standard resulted in the Company recording $2.2 million of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, $2.4 million of operating lease liabilities and a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings of $66 thousand. The Company also recorded $18 thousand of finance ROU assets and finance lease liabilities.

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. If it is determined to be or contain a lease, then the lease is classified as an operating or finance lease.

Live Oak Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are measured on commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at commencement. The discount rate shall be the rate implicit in the lease, however, if that is not readily determinable, the Company will use its incremental borrowing rate. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made before the commencement date and initial direct costs and excludes any lease incentives received. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in other assets and long term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for operating leases and finance leases is included in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income and interest expense for finance leases is included in other interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): 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 potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial statements. In that regard, a cross-functional working group has been formed, under the direction of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer. The working group is comprised of individuals from various functional areas including credit, risk management, finance and information technology, among others. Implementation efforts continue with model development, ongoing system requirements evaluation and the identification of data and resource needs, among other things. The Company has also engaged a third-party vendor solution to assist in the application of ASU 2016-13. While the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, the impact of adoption is expected to be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 amends Accounting Standard Codification 718 to largely align accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under the new guidance, existing employee guidance will generally apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, except for specific guidance on inputs into option pricing models and the attribution of cost. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019-01”). ASU 2019-01 provides updates to Topic 842 including: (i) guidance on how to determine fair value of leased items for lessors who are not dealers or manufacturers, (ii) cash flow presentation for lessors of sales-type and direct financing leases and (iii) clarifies that certain transition disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 provides clarification and minor improvements related to ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” (“ASU 2019-05”). ASU 2019-05 allows entities an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for eligible instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. The amendments are effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. See discussion of ASU 2016-13 above for impact to the 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.

Total	$	170,801	$	1,181	$	67,639	$	2,413	$	238,440	$	3,594

At June 30, 2019, there were twenty-five mortgage-backed securities and three US government agencies in unrealized loss positions for greater than 12 months and one municipal bond in unrealized loss positions for less than 12 months. Unrealized losses at December 31, 2018 were comprised of thirty-one mortgage-backed securities and six US government agencies in unrealized loss positions for greater than 12 months and twenty-five mortgage-backed securities, one US treasury security and one municipal bond in unrealized loss positions for less than 12 months.

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 and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for a sufficient period of time to recover unrealized losses, none of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

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

Loan and Lease Portfolio Segments

The following describes the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments. Each loan and lease 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 loans 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 and lease reviews to assess the performance of individual loans and leases by industry segment. An independent review of the loan and lease 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 and lease. The grade is periodically evaluated and adjusted as performance dictates. Loan and lease grades 1 through 4 are passing grades and grade 5 is special mention. Collectively, grades 6 through 8 represent classified loans and leases in the Bank’s portfolio. The following guidelines govern the assignment of these risk grades:

Exceptional (1 Rated): These loans and leases are of the highest quality, with strong, well-documented sources of repayment. These loans and leases will typically have multiple demonstrated sources of repayment with no significant identifiable risk to collection, exhibit well-qualified management, and have liquid financial statements relative to both direct and indirect obligations.

Quality (2 Rated): These loans and leases are of very high credit quality, with strong, well-documented sources of repayment. These loans and leases exhibit very strong, well defined primary and secondary sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection and have internally generated cash flow that more than adequately covers current maturities of long-term debt.

Satisfactory (3 rated): These loans and leases exhibit satisfactory credit risk and have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection. These loans and leases have documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources. They have adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Acceptable (4 rated): These loans and leases show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. These loans and leases may have unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this time. Repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected performance. They may also contain marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral and liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Special mention (5 rated): These loans and leases show signs of weaknesses in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral. These loans and leases may contain underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions with no mitigating factors; and/or instances where adverse economic conditions develop subsequent to origination that do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt but substantially increase the level of risk.

Substandard (6 rated): Loans and leases graded Substandard are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or pledged collateral. Loans and leases classified as Substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans and leases are consistently not meeting the repayment schedule.

Doubtful (7 rated): Loans and leases graded Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off.

Loss (8 rated): Loss rated loans and leases are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this credit even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Nonaccrual Loans and Leases

Loans and leases 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 and leases had been accrued in accordance with the original terms, interest income would have increased by approximately $1.1 million and $588 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 interest income would have increased approximately $2.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. All nonaccrual loans and leases are included in the held for investment portfolio.

Nonaccrual loans and leases as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss Methodology

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

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

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

Loans and leases 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 or lease agreement. The Company has determined that loans and leases that meet the criteria defined below must be reviewed quarterly to determine if they are impaired.

•

All commercial loans and leases classified substandard or worse.

•

Any other delinquent loan or lease that is in a nonaccrual status, or any loan or lease that is delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

•

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

The Company’s policy for impaired loan and lease accounting subjects all loans and leases to impairment recognition; however, loan and lease 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 and leases. Any loan or lease 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 or lease. This portion is the loan's or lease’s “impairment,” and is established as a specific reserve against the loan or lease, or charged against the ALLL.

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 ALLL, 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 ALLL and the individual specific reserve reduced by a corresponding amount.

For impaired loans or leases, the reserve amount is calculated on a loan or lease-specific basis. The Company utilizes two methods of analyzing impaired loans and leases 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 or lease 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. Leases

Lessor Equipment Leasing

The Company purchases new equipment for the purpose of leasing such equipment to customers within its verticals. Equipment purchased to fulfill commitments to commercial renewable energy projects is rented out under operating leases while leases of equipment outside of the renewable energy vertical are generally direct financing leases. Accordingly, leased assets under operating leases are included in premises and equipment while leased assets under direct financing leases are included in loans and leases held for investment.

Direct Financing Leases

Interest income on direct financing leases is recognized when earned. Unearned interest is recognized over the lease term on a basis which results in a constant rate of return on the unrecovered lease investment. The term of each lease is generally 3-7 years which is consistent with the useful life of the equipment with no residual value. The gross lease payments receivable and the net investment included in accounts receivable for such leases are as follows:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Gross direct finance lease payments receivable	$	15,587		$	12,541
Less – unearned interest		(3,063	)		(2,635	)
Net investment in direct financing leases	$	12,524		$	9,906

Future minimum lease payments under finance leases are as follows:

As of June 30, 2019	Amount
2019	$	1,544
2020		3,061
2021		3,007
2022		2,744
2023		2,286
Thereafter		2,945
Total	$	15,587

Interest income of $267 thousand and $73 thousand was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest income of $501 thousand and $120 thousand was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Operating Leases

The term of each operating lease is generally 10 to 15 years. The Company retains ownership of the equipment and associated tax benefits such as investment tax credits and accelerated depreciation. At the end of the lease term, the lessee has the option to renew the lease for two additional terms or purchase the equipment at the then current fair market value.

Rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The useful lives generally range from 20 to 25 years and residual values generally range from 20% to 50%, however, they are subject to periodic evaluation. Changes in useful lives or residual values will impact depreciation expense and any gain or loss from the sale of used equipment. The estimated useful lives and residual values of the Company's leasing equipment are based on industry disposal experience and the Company's expectations for future sale prices.

If the Company decides to sell or otherwise dispose of rental equipment, it is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell or dispose. Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the rental equipment are charged to direct operating expenses at the time the costs are incurred.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a net investment of $147.4 million and $148.8 million, respectively, in assets included in premises and equipment that are subject to operating leases. Of the net investment, the gross balance of the assets was $162.6 million and $159.2 million and accumulated depreciation was $15.2 million and $10.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Depreciation expense recognized on these assets for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2.4 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. Depreciation expense recognized on these assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Lease income of $2.4 million and $1.9 million was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Lease income of $4.7 million and $3.5 million was recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

A maturity analysis of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases is as follows:

As of June 30, 2019	Amount
2019	$	3,889
2020		8,883
2021		8,930
2022		8,924
2023		8,956
Thereafter		48,267
Total	$	87,849

Lessee Lease Arrangements

The Company has operating leases for real property, land, copiers and other equipment. These leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 27 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases. The Company has concluded that it is reasonably certain it will exercise the options to extend for only one lease, which was therefore recognized as part of the ROU asset and lease liability.

The Company has a finance lease for fitness equipment and it has a remaining lease term of approximately 3.4 years. There are no options to extend or terminate this lease.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019			Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Operating lease cost	$	169		$	326
Short-term lease cost		166			375

Note 7. Servicing Assets

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheet. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others requiring recognition of a servicing asset were $2.39 billion and $2.63 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The unpaid principal balance for all loans serviced for others was $3.05 billion and $3.22 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The following summarizes the activity pertaining to servicing rights:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Balance at beginning of period	$	44,324		$	53,120		$	47,641		$	52,298
Additions, net		608			4,202			1,331			9,076
Fair value changes:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		260			(552	)		(489	)		(553	)
Decay due to increases in principal paydowns or runoff		(3,505	)		(4,081	)		(6,796	)		(8,132	)
Balance at end of period	$	41,687		$	52,689		$	41,687		$	52,689

The fair value of servicing rights was determined using a weighted average discount rate of 13.4% on June 30, 2019 and 13.0% on June 30, 2018. The fair value of servicing rights was determined using a weighted average prepayment speed of 14.1% on June 30, 2019 and 9.6% on June 30, 2018, 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.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $234.9 million and $218.0 million, respectively, in borrowing capacity available under these arrangements with no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily because of the anticipated effect of investment tax credits during 2019. The Company's effective tax rate in the future will depend on the actual investment tax credits earned as a part of its financing renewable energy applications.

Note 10. 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 U.S. 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.

Mutual fund: The following mutual fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company and operates as an interval fund. The fund primarily invests in the unguaranteed portion of SBA504 First Lien Loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate. This investment is valued using quoted prices in markets that are not active and is classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Live Oak Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Equity warrant assets: Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of private companies are priced based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the asset value by using stated strike prices, option expiration dates, risk-free interest rates and option volatility assumptions. Option volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are based on public companies that operate in similar industries as the companies in our private company portfolio. Option expiration dates are modified to account for estimates to actual life relative to stated expiration. Values are further adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company. The Company classifies equity warrant assets within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Note 11. 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.

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, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit	$	1,641,814	$	1,435,024
Standby letters of credit		12,285		2,150
Airplane purchase agreement commitments		—		10,450
Total unfunded off-balance-sheet credit risk	$	1,654,099	$	1,447,624

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.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded commitments to provide capital contributions for on-balance-sheet investments in the amount of $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Although the Company is not subject to any geographic concentrations, a substantial amount of the Company’s loans, leases, and commitments to extend credit have been granted to customers in the agriculture, healthcare 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 $7.5 million, except for 16 relationships that have a retained unguaranteed exposure of $193.0 million of which $137.0 million of the unguaranteed exposure has been disbursed.

Additionally, the Company has future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases totaling $87.8 million, of which $63.7 million is due from four relationships.

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

Note 12. 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. On May 15, 2018, the Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was amended to authorize awards covering a maximum of 8,750,000 common voting shares. 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 vest over a minimum of three years from the date of the grant. Restricted stock grants vest in equal installments ranging from immediate vesting to over a seven year period from the date of the grant. Market Restricted Stock Units 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 a specified price defined at time of 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, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $400 thousand and $347 thousand in compensation expense for stock options, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $838 thousand and $780 thousand in compensation expense for stock options, respectively.

Stock option activity under the Plan during the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, is summarized below.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised at June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $326 thousand and $2.9 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation costs relating to stock options amounted to $5.1 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 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. There were no stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

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 a specified price ranging from $34.00 to $55.00 per share for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days at any time prior to expiration date. The amount of Market RSUs earned will not exceed 100% of the Market RSUs awarded. The fair value of the Market RSUs and the implied service period is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $556 thousand and $921 thousand in compensation expense for RSUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $1.8 million in compensation expense for RSUs, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation costs relating to RSUs amounted to $8.2 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.7 years.

Market RSU stock activity under the Plan during the first three months of 2019 is summarized below.

Forfeited		(22,347	)		9.28
Non-vested at June 30, 2019		3,186,855			8.45

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. The Monte Carlo simulation used 100,000 simulation paths to assess the expected date of achieving the market price criteria.

Related to the 500,000 Market RSUs granted on February 11, 2019, the share price simulation was based on the Cox, Ross & Rubinstein option pricing methodology for a period of 10.0 years. The implied term of the restricted stock ranges from 4.5 to 5.8 years. The Monte Carlo Simulation used various assumptions that included a risk free rate of return of 2.62%, expected volatility of 37.6% and a dividend yield of 0.78%.

On February 11, 2019, 75,000 Market RSUs granted on May 14, 2018 to one employee were modified to lengthen the vesting term from 7 to 10 years and change the target stock price from $48.00 to a range of $35.00 to $48.00 per share for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days. Additionally, 410,000 Market RSUs granted on August 10, 2018 to eleven employees were modified to lengthen the vesting term from 7 to 10 years and change the amount of Market RSUs that vest at various target stock prices to 20% per tier. As a result of modification, the Company recognized additional compensation expense of $166 thousand and $234 thousand for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $947 thousand in compensation expense for Market RSUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $1.9 million in compensation expense for Market RSUs, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation costs relating to Market RSUs amounted to $19.1 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan on October 8, 2014. On May 24, 2016, the plan was amended and the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") became effective within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the ESPP, eligible employees are able to purchase available shares with post-tax dollars as of the grant date. In order for employees to be eligible to participate in the ESPP they must be employed or on an authorized leave of absence from the Company or any subsidiary immediately prior to the grant date. ESPP stock purchases cannot exceed $25 thousand in fair market value per employee per calendar year. Options to purchase shares under the ESPP are granted at a 15% discount to fair market value. There was no expense recognized in relation to the ESPP for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $32 thousand and $29 thousand in expense, respectively.

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 incorporated in February 2008 as a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank. The Bank specializes in providing lending services to small businesses nationwide. The Bank identifies and grows within selected industry sectors, or verticals, by leveraging expertise within those industries, and more broadly to select borrowers outside of those industries. A significant portion of the loans originated by the Bank are guaranteed by the SBA under the 7(a) Loan Program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") Rural Energy for America Program ("REAP"), Business & Industry ("B&I") and Water & Waste Disposal (“WEP”) loan programs.

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.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company began implementing a strategic decision to retain a larger portion of its loans eligible for sale on its balance sheet. Management believes this decision will reduce future earnings volatility and maximize long-term profitability. This strategic change had immediate impacts through the reclassification of $80.3 million in guaranteed loans from held-for-sale to held-for-investment status. Other effects of this change are reflected in the financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2018 and in the first half of 2019 with significantly fewer loans sold during the respective quarters and the consequential effect of increased net interest income and increased loans held for sale and held for investment along with lower gains on loan sales.

In 2018, the Bank formed Live Oak Private Wealth, LLC, a registered investment advisor that provides high-net-worth individuals and families with strategic wealth and investment management services; and formed Canapi Advisors, LLC for the purpose of providing investment advisory services to a series of new funds focused on providing venture capital to new and emerging financial services technology companies. In 2017, the Bank entered into a joint venture, Apiture LLC (“Apiture”), with First Data Corporation for the purpose of creating next generation technology for financial institutions. In August 2018, the Company exited the title insurance business by financing the sale of its entire ownership interest in Reltco, Inc. and National Assurance Title, Inc. for $3.0 million. This divestiture was driven by lower expectations of future profitability for this business. The title insurance business was acquired in 2017. In 2016, the Company formed Live Oak Clean Energy Financing LLC (“LOCEF”), for the purpose of providing financing to entities for renewable energy applications. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, LOCEF became a subsidiary of the Bank. In addition to the Bank, the Company owns Live Oak Ventures, Inc. (formerly known as "Canapi, Inc."), formed in August 2016 for the purpose of investing in businesses that align with the Company's strategic initiative to be a leader in financial technology; Live Oak Grove, LLC, formed in February 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 advisor to The 504 Fund, a closed-end mutual fund organized to invest in SBA section 504 loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 504FA completed the transfer of its advisory agreement and no longer serves as the investment advisor to The 504 Fund.

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.

We believe our strategic decision to retain a larger portion of loans eligible for sale on our balance sheet will reduce future earnings volatility and maximize long-term profitability. As a result of this decision, we anticipate that gains on the sale of loans will comprise a diminishing component of our revenue in 2019. Management anticipates that the Company's held-for-sale and held-for-investment loan portfolios will continue to grow as a result of ongoing origination volumes and higher levels of loan retention intended to promote long-term recurring revenue and profitability, including the continued pursuit of potential opportunities in conventional lending outside of SBA or other government guarantee programs.

Results of Operations

Performance Summary

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with three months ended June 30, 2018

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $4.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to $14.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease in net income is primarily due to the following items:

•

The Company’s strategic shift in the latter part of 2018 to hold substantially more of its eligible-for-sale production on balance sheet resulted in lower net income in the near-term by decreasing net gains on sales of loans by $17.0 million, or 73.9%. The volume of guaranteed loan sales in the second quarter of 2019 declined to $71.9 million compared to $295.2 million in the second quarter of 2018;

•

The provision for loan and lease losses increased $1.4 million primarily due to portfolio growth from the second quarter of 2018;

•

The flow-through loss from investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $1.7 million compared to $673 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018; and

•

Title insurance income decreased $1.0 million due to the Company’s sale of its title insurance business in August of 2018.

The primary factors partially offsetting the above decrease in net income were:

•

Increase in net interest income of $6.9 million, or 25.5%, predominately driven by the above referenced strategic growth in loan and lease portfolios combined with higher investment security holdings which benefited from rising interest rates; and

•

Net negative loan servicing revaluation decreased by $3.3 million, or 89.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2018 principally due to an improving secondary market for sold loans.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared with six months ended June 30, 2018

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $7.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to $26.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease in net income is primarily due to the following items:

•

The Company’s above referenced strategic shift in the latter part of 2018 to hold substantially more of its eligible-for-sale production on balance sheet resulted in lower net income in the near-term by decreasing net gains on sales of loans by $37.3 million, or 78.5%. The volume of guaranteed loan sales in the first six months of 2019 declined to $134.9 million compared to $542.5 million in the first six months of 2018;

•

The flow-through loss from investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $3.8 million compared to $1.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018; and

•

Title insurance income decreased $2.3 million due to the Company’s sale of its title insurance business in August of 2018.

The primary factors partially offsetting the above decrease in net income were:

•

Increase in net interest income of $13.0 million, or 25.3%, predominately driven by the above referenced strategic growth in loan and lease portfolios combined with higher investment security holdings which benefited from rising interest rates; and

•

Net negative loan servicing revaluation decreased by $6.1 million, or 69.8%, principally due to an improving secondary market for sold loans.

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 it incurs on 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.” Without a branch network, the Bank generates 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, 2019 compared with three months ended June 30, 2018

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income increased $6.9 million, or 25.5%, to $33.9 million compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was principally due to the significant growth in the combined held for sale and held for investment loan and lease portfolios along with higher investment security holdings reflecting the Company's ongoing initiative to grow recurring revenue sources and deploy liquidity while improving the asset-liability repricing mix. Average interest earning assets increased by $542.1 million, or 17.3%, to $3.68 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3.14 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, while the yield on average interest earning assets increased seventy-seven basis points to 6.01%. The cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased fifty-five basis points to 2.41%, and the average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by $532.2 million, or 17.8%, over the same period in 2018. As indicated in the rate/volume table below, the increase in interest earning assets outpaced the higher volume and increased cost of interest bearing liabilities, resulting in increased interest income of $14.2 million and increased interest expense of $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, net interest margin increased from 3.46% to 3.70%, respectively, principally due to the volume of interest earnings assets outpacing the growth in the volume of interest bearing liabilities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared with six months ended June 30, 2018

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income increased $13.0 million, or 25.2%, to $64.5 million compared to $51.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was principally due to the significant growth in the combined held for sale and held for investment loan and lease portfolios along with higher investment security holdings reflecting the Company's ongoing initiative to grow recurring revenue sources and deploy liquidity while improving the asset-liability repricing mix. Average interest earning assets increased by $642.9 million, or 22.1%, to $3.55 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2.91 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, while the yield on average interest earning assets increased seventy basis points to 5.97%. The cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased sixty basis points to 2.39%, and the average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by $653.5 million, or 23.7%, over the same period in 2018. As indicated in the rate/volume table below, the increase in interest earning assets and corresponding yields outpaced the higher volume and increased cost of interest bearing liabilities, resulting in increased interest income of $29.1 million and increased interest expense of $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, net interest margin increased from 3.58% to 3.67%, respectively, principally due to the growth in the volume of interest earnings assets outpacing the growth in interest bearing liabilities.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances for assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amount of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing the income or expense by the average balances for assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and annualizing that result. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans.

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 prior 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, increases or decreases 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 and Lease Losses

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

Losses inherent in loan relationships are mitigated if a portion of the loan is guaranteed by the SBA or USDA. A typical SBA 7(a) loan carries a 75% guarantee while USDA guarantees range from 60% to 80% depending on loan size, which serve to reduce the risk profile of these loans. The Company believes that its focus on compliance with regulations and guidance from the SBA and USDA are key factors to managing this risk.

For the second quarter of 2019 the provision for loan and lease losses was $3.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $1.4 million, or 65.9%. The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses compared to the prior year quarter was primarily the result of a growing loan portfolio through robust loan originations and higher balance sheet retention rates.

Loans and leases held for investment were $2.23 billion as of June 30, 2019, increasing by $691.1 million, or 45.0%, compared to June 30, 2018. This growth was fueled by strong loan origination volumes and the above referenced strategic shift to retain substantially more loans on the balance sheet.

Net charge-offs were $526 thousand, or 0.10% of average quarterly loans and leases held for investment on an annualized basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $787 thousand, or 0.21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net charge-offs totaled $591 thousand compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $728 thousand, or 55.2%. Net charge-offs are a key element of historical experience in the Company's estimation of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

In addition, at June 30, 2019, nonperforming loans and leases not guaranteed by the SBA totaled $18.4 million, which was 0.82% of the held-for-investment loan and lease portfolio compared to $11.5 million, or 0.75% of loans and leases held for investment at June 30, 2018.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is principally comprised of net gains from the sale of SBA and USDA-guaranteed loans along with loan servicing revenue and related revaluation of the servicing asset. Revenue from the sale of loans depends upon the volume, maturity structure 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. Noninterest income also commonly includes equity method investments income (loss), lease income, construction supervision fee income and in prior periods title insurance income. 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, noninterest income decreased by $15.9 million, or 52.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease from the prior year is primarily the result of the aforementioned strategic decision to sell fewer loans, resulting in net gains on sales of loans declining to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, a reduction of $17.0 million, or 73.9%. The flow-through loss from investments accounted for under the equity method increased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018. These flow-through losses reflect the Company’s pro-rata portion of operating results for certain strategic start-up investments. Also impacting the overall decrease in noninterest income was a decline in title insurance income of $996 thousand during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 due to the sale of the title insurance business in third quarter of 2018. Partially offsetting the overall decrease in noninterest income was a $3.3 million, or 89.0%, decrease in the net negative loan servicing revaluation principally due to improving secondary market premiums.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, noninterest income decreased by $33.6 million, or 54.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease from the prior year is also primarily the result of the aforementioned strategic decision to sell fewer loans, resulting in net gains on sales of loans declining to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $47.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a reduction of $37.3 million, or 78.5%. The flow-through loss from investments accounted for under the equity method increased $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Also impacting the overall decrease in noninterest income was a decline in title insurance income of $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to the sale of the title insurance business in third quarter of 2018. Partially offsetting the overall decrease in noninterest income was a $6.1 million, or 69.8%, decrease in the net negative loan servicing revaluation principally due to improving secondary market premiums, combined with increased lease income from solar panels of $1.1 million, or 33.1%, related to growth in operating lease originations.

The following table reflects loan and lease production, sales of guaranteed loans and the aggregate balance in guaranteed loans sold. These components are key drivers of the Company's noninterest income.

(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 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, 2019, there was a net negative loan servicing revaluation adjustment of $403 thousand compared to a net negative adjustment of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, there was a net negative loan servicing revaluation adjustment of $2.6 million compared to a net negative loan servicing revaluation adjustment of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The lower revaluation amount for the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2018 was primarily a result of improving secondary market premiums.

Net Gains on Sale of Loans: For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net gains on sales of loans decreased $17.0 million, or 73.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the volume of guaranteed loans sold decreased $223.3 million, or 75.6%, to $71.9 million from $295.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net gains on sale of loans totaled $10.2 million, a $37.3 million decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2018, as the volume of guaranteed loans sold decreased $407.6 million to $134.9 million, or 75.1%. The volume-driven decrease in the net gain on loan sales was offset by higher average premiums paid in the secondary market in both the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. Excluding fair value fluctuations in exchange traded-interest rate lock commitments, the average net gain on sale of loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was higher at $94 thousand and $92 thousand for each $1 million in loans sold, respectively, compared to $79 thousand and $88 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense comprises all operating costs of the Company, such as employee related costs, travel, professional services, advertising and marketing expenses, exclusive of interest and income tax expense.

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

Total noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $1.3 million, or 3.1%, and $1.1 million, or 1.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease in noninterest expense was largely driven by lower levels of travel, data processing, title insurance closing services and other expenses while salaries and employee benefits remained somewhat static. Changes in various components of noninterest expense are discussed below.

Salaries and employee benefits: Total personnel expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $156 thousand, or 0.7%, and increased by $1.5 million, or 3.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. While personnel expense is carefully managed, the Company continues to invest in human capital to support the growing loan and lease production from new and existing verticals. Other than careful management of resources invested in human capital, the primary drivers for lower levels of expense arise from the Company’s exit from the title insurance business during the third quarter of 2018, the earlier discussed strategy to sell fewer loans, thereby resulting in higher levels of loan origination costs being capitalized and the termination of certain severance arrangements in 2019. Total full-time equivalent employees decreased from 538 at June 30, 2018 to 531 at June 30, 2019. Salaries and employee benefits expense included $2.9 million and $5.8 million of stock-based compensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Expenses related to the employee stock purchase program, stock grants, stock option compensation and restricted stock expense are all considered stock-based compensation.

Of the total stock-based compensation included in salaries and employee benefits, $357 thousand for both the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, and $709 thousand for both the first half of 2019 and 2018 were related to restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards for key employee retention with an effective grant date of May 24, 2016.

Travel expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total travel services expense decreased $500 thousand, or 24.5% and $1.1 million, or 24.9%, respectively compared to the same periods in 2018. This decrease was principally due to a reduction in repairs and maintenance costs associated with an older aircraft that was sold during the first quarter of 2019, higher deferred travel costs as more loans were retained, and general improvements in operational efficiency.

Professional services expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, total professional services expense increased $502 thousand, or 68.1%, and $1.4 million, or 57.3%, respectively compared to the same periods in 2018. This increase was driven by legal, accounting, and consulting fees incurred for various strategic initiatives.

Data processing expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, data processing expenses totaled $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, representing decreases of $959 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease is primarily the result of the expiration of software development services provided by Apiture directly to the Company combined with the capitalization of certain software development costs during the second quarter of 2019.

Equipment expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, equipment expense increased $871 thousand, or 25.9%, and $1.1 million, or 17.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. Primary factors contributing to this increase were the depreciation of solar panels arising from operating lease activities and a new aircraft placed in service in the second quarter of 2019.

Other expenses: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, other expenses decreased $988 thousand and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decline in other expenses is attributable to the elimination of costs associated with the operation of the title insurance business, which was sold in the third quarter of 2018, and impairment expenses recognized in the second quarter of 2018 with the transfer of the title business to held for sale.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 11.8% compared to the effective rate of 3.3% and 2.9%, respectively, for the same periods in 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate is predominantly driven by the leasing of renewable energy assets which generate investment tax credits.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

June 30, 2019 vs. December 31, 2018

Total assets at June 30, 2019 were $4.27 billion, an increase of $603.9 million, or 16.5%, compared to total assets of $3.67 billion at December 31, 2018. The growth in total assets was principally driven by the following:

•

Increased investment securities available-for-sale of $195.8 million which was driven by the Company’s strategic plan to enhance liquidity and improve asset-liability repricing mix; and

•

Growth in loans and leases held for sale and held for investment of $552.5 million resulting from strong originations and higher levels of balances being retained to support the Company's strategic plan to hold more loans.

Cash and cash equivalents, comprised of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, was $183.4 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $133.4 million, or 42.1%, compared to $316.8 million at December 31, 2018. This decrease reflects the Company’s maximization of returns on liquid assets by deployment of funds into higher-yielding available-for-sale securities.

Total investment securities increased $195.8 million during the first six months of 2019, from $380.5 million at December 31, 2018, to $576.3 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of 51.5%. The Company increased its investment securities position during the first quarter of 2019 as part of its strategy to improve the returns of an enhanced liquidity profile and improve asset-liability repricing mix. At June 30, 2019, the investment portfolio was comprised of U.S. treasury, U.S. government agency, mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds.

Loans held for sale increased $170.4 million, or 24.8%, during the first six months of 2019, from $687.4 million at December 31, 2018, to $857.8 million at June 30, 2019. This increase reflected the impact of a significantly lower volume of loan sales with strong origination activity during the second quarter.

Loans and leases held for investment increased $382.1 million, or 20.7%, during the first six months of 2019, from $1.84 billion at December 31, 2018, to $2.23 billion at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of $915.9 million in loan and lease origination activities during the first six months of 2019 combined with the earlier mentioned strategic shift to retain higher levels of loans on the balance sheet.

Premises and equipment, net, increased $18.6 million, or 7.1%, during the first six months of 2019 which was primarily driven by construction of new facilities and infrastructure to accommodate Company growth and the addition of solar panels to meet leasing commitments.

Foreclosed assets increased $4.9 million, or 452.5%, during the first six months of 2019 to $6.0 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in foreclosed assets arose from two relationships in agriculture and healthcare verticals. The underlying loans were subject to an SBA guarantee and the total current estimated exposure to the Company is considered negligible for these new foreclosures.

Servicing assets decreased $6.0 million, or 12.5%, to $41.7 million during the first six months of 2019 due to the reduced level of loan sales during the quarter combined with amortization of the outstanding balance of guaranteed loans sold. At June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of government guaranteed loans sold in the secondary market was $2.87 billion compared to $3.05 billion at December 31, 2018.

Operating leases right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were additions to the balance sheet pursuant to the adoption of the new lease standard (ASU No. 2016-02) effective January 1, 2019. These balance sheet accounts reflect the Company’s rights and obligations created by almost all leases in which it is a lessee with remaining terms of more than 12 months. See Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Note 6. Leases for more information on the adoption of this new standard.

Other assets decreased $25.0 million, or 16.0% from $156.2 million at December 31, 2018 to $131.2 million at June 30, 2019. This decrease was principally the result of a reduction in taxes receivable of $13.8 million, largely comprised of a recent tax refund, and the sale of corporate aircraft carried at $10.5 million which was classified as held-for-sale during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Total deposits were $3.72 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $572.0 million, or 18.2%, from $3.15 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in deposits was driven by the combined success of deposit gathering campaigns to support the growth in loan and lease originations and balance sheet management initiatives.

Other liabilities were $30.2 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $4.3 million, or 16.8%, from $25.8 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in other liabilities was largely driven by the increased deferred tax liability of $4.1 million related to unrealized gains on the Company’s growing investment securities available-for-sale portfolio.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 was $519.0 million as compared to $493.6 million at December 31, 2018. The book value per share was $12.90 at June 30, 2019 compared to $12.29 at December 31, 2018. Average equity to average assets was 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 13.8% for the full year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity was principally the result of net income to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $7.3 million combined with other comprehensive income of $14.6 million and stock-based compensation expense of $5.8 million, partially offset by $2.4 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).

The following table provides information with respect to nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings at the dates indicated.

Total nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2019 were $98.6 million, which represented a $18.8 million, or 23.5%, increase from December 31, 2018. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019 were comprised of $65.5 million in nonaccrual loans and $6.0 million in foreclosed assets. Of the $98.6 million of nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), $69.2 million carried an SBA guarantee, leaving an unguaranteed exposure of $29.3 million in total nonperforming assets and TDRs at June 30, 2019. This represents an increase of $7.8 million, or 36.2%, from an unguaranteed exposure of $21.5 million at December 31, 2018. The vast majority of this increase in nonperforming assets and TDRs arose from our mature verticals. See the below discussion related to the change in potential problem and impaired loans for management’s overall observations regarding growth in this area.

As a percentage of the Bank’s total capital, nonperforming loans represented 14.0% at June 30, 2019, compared to 14.8% at December 31, 2018. Adjusting the ratio to include only the unguaranteed portion of nonperforming loans to reflect management’s belief that the greater magnitude of risk resides in this portion, the ratios at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 3.9% and 3.7%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, potential problem and impaired loans and leases totaled $178.8 million and $148.0 million, respectively. Risk Grades 5 through 8 represent the spectrum of criticized and impaired loans and leases. At June 30, 2019, the portion of criticized loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA totaled $88.0 million resulting in unguaranteed exposure risk of $90.8 million, or 5.3% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure. This compares to the December 31, 2018 portion of criticized loans and leases guaranteed by the SBA or USDA which totaled $69.3 million resulting in unguaranteed exposure risk of $78.7 million, or 5.1% of total held for investment unguaranteed exposure. As of June 30, 2019, loans and leases in Other Industries, Healthcare, Agriculture and Independent Pharmacies verticals comprise the largest portion of the total potential problem and impaired loans at 29.3%, 24.7%, 15.5% and 11.9%, respectively. With 29.3% of total potential problem and impaired loans and leases in the Other Industries, 11.5% was related to Hotel and 10.0% was related to Wine and Craft Beverage industries. As of December 31, 2018, loans and leases in the Healthcare, Other Industries, Independent Pharmacies and Veterinary Industry verticals comprise the largest portion of the total potential problem and impaired loans and leases at 28.0%, 18.6%, 15.5% and 15.0%, respectively. With 18.6% of total potential problem and impaired loans and leases in the Other Industries, 8.7% was related to Government Contractors and 6.8% was related to Wine and Craft Beverage industries. No systemic issues were identified in the first six months of 2019. The increase in potential problem and impaired loans and leases, which were comprised of a relatively small number of borrowers, was largely concentrated in our more mature verticals. Furthermore, the Company believes that its underwriting and credit quality standards have improved as the business has matured.

The Bank does not classify loans and leases 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 or lease 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 problem loans and leases and is focused on working with the borrowers and guarantors of these loans and leases to provide loan and lease modifications when warranted. Management implements a proactive approach to identifying and classifying loans and leases as special mention, Risk Grade 5. For example, at June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, Risk Grade 5 loans and leases totaled $87.0 million and $65.5 million, respectively. The increase in Risk Grade 5 loans during the first six months of 2019 was principally confined to nine relationships across four verticals; Hotels ($8.1 million or 37.5%), Self Storage ($6.7 million or 31.1%), Wine and Craft Beverage ($6.3 million or 29.1% of increase) and Funeral Home & Cemetery ($3.6 million or 16.8%). These increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in Government Contracting ($9.0 million). The increase in risk grade 5 loans in 2019 was due to the continued maturity of these verticals. At June 30, 2019, approximately 98.6% of loans classified as Risk Grade 5 are performing with no current payments past due more than 30 days. While the level of nonperforming assets fluctuates in response to changing economic and market conditions, the relative size and composition of the loan and lease 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 and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), 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 and lease losses charged to earnings to account for losses that are inherent in the loan and lease portfolio and estimated to occur, and is maintained at a level that management considers appropriate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Loan and lease losses are charged against the ALLL when management believes that the collectability of the principal loan and lease balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL when received.

Judgment in determining the adequacy of the ALLL 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 ALLL is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases 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 ALLL, set forth in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Methodology for determining the ALLL is generally based on GAAP, the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other regulatory and accounting pronouncements. The ALLL is determined by the sum of three separate components: (i) the impaired loan or lease component, which addresses specific reserves for impaired loans or leases; (ii) the general reserve component, which addresses reserves for pools of homogeneous loans and leases; and (iii) an unallocated reserve component (if any) based on management’s judgment and experience. The loan and lease pools and impaired loans and leases are mutually exclusive; any loan or lease that is impaired should be excluded from its homogeneous pool for purposes of that pool’s reserve calculation, regardless of the level of impairment.

The ALLL of $32.4 million at December 31, 2018 increased by $5.6 million, or 17.3%, to $38.0 million at June 30, 2019. The ALLL, as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, amounted to 1.7% at June 30, 2019 and 1.8% at December 31, 2018. The increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment was largely attributable to continued growth in the loan and lease portfolio, with the magnitude somewhat softened by the greater levels of guaranteed loan production combined with decreased levels of charge-offs in the first half of 2019, as addressed more fully in the Provision for Loan and Lease Losses section of Results of Operations. General reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans amounted to 1.26% at June 30, 2019 and 1.34% at December 31, 2018. Also, see the aforementioned Provision for Loan and Lease Losses section for a discussion of the Company's charge-off experience.

Actual past due held for investment loans and leases have decreased by $11.4 million since December 31, 2018. Of this decrease, $7.9 million was related to a single loan which was temporarily past due at year end and returned to current status early in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding this single loan, total past dues decreased $3.5 million since December 31, 2018. Total loans 90 or more days past due decreased $281 thousand, or 0.7%, compared to December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of the decline in the guaranteed portion of past due loans which declined $2.9 million compared to December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total held for investment unguaranteed loans and leases past due as a percentage of total held for investment unguaranteed loans and leases was 0.90% and 1.56%, respectively. Management continues to actively monitor and work to improve asset quality. Management believes the ALLL of $38.0 million at June 30, 2019 is appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan and lease 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 and lease losses in future periods will not exceed the current ALLL or that future increases in the ALLL will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the ALLL, thus adversely affecting the Company’s operating results. Additional information on the ALLL is presented in Note 5 - Loans and Leases Held for Investment and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in 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, 2019, the total amount of these four items was $1.10 billion, or 25.7% of total assets, an increase of $56.9 million from $1.04 billion, or 28.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2018.

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

At June 30, 2019, none of the investment securities portfolio was pledged to secure public deposits or pledged to retail repurchase agreements, leaving $576.3 million available as lendable collateral.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded commitments to provide capital contributions for on-balance sheet investments in the amount of $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

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 asset and liability repricing timing differences as of the report date and does not address earnings, market value nor growth. 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 asset-sensitive with a total cumulative gap position of 2.0% at June 30, 2019. The asset sensitivity is relatively stable from the prior quarter. An asset-sensitive position means that net interest income will generally move in the same direction as interest rates. For instance, if interest rates increase, net interest income can be expected to increase, and if interest rates decrease, net interest income can be expected to decrease. The Company attempts to mitigate interest rate risk by match funding assets and liabilities with similar 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.

Capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are presented in the table below.

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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, 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 and lease losses;

•

Valuation of servicing assets;

•

Income taxes;

•

Restricted stock unit awards with market price conditions;

•

Valuation of foreclosed assets;

•

Business combination and goodwill; and

•

Unconsolidated joint ventures.

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
