Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
$ in thousands, except per share data
Note 1: General
The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc. (“NBI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg (the “Bank” or “NBB”) and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. (“NBFS”) (collectively, the “Company”), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The interim period consolidated financial statements and financial information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. The Company posts all reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on its web site at www.nationalbankshares.com.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or net cash flow.
Risks and Uncertainties
Over the past 15 months, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce its spread have caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and negatively impacted financial activity in the Company’s market. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the pandemic escalates further, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full extent of the impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’s operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.
Financial position and results of operations
During 2020, the pandemic led to declines in two key income categories: interest income and overdraft fee income. Interest income was impacted by modification requests and by a decreased interest rate environment. During the first six months of 2021, the number of modification requests that reduce interest income vastly decreased, though loan refinance and securities call activity spurred by the low interest rates continue to impact interest income, with reinvestment opportunities at lower rates. If the pandemic’s evolution brings new or worsened economic impacts, these income categories and others may be negatively affected.
Lending operations, accommodations to borrowers and credit risk
The Company is working with customers directly affected by COVID-19, providing short-term assistance in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) and regulatory guidelines. Pandemic-related modification requests have greatly subsided during 2021, however during the height of the pandemic, the Company assisted borrowers affected by COVID-19, including providing payment extensions, periods of interest only payments to otherwise amortizing loans, and interest rate reductions. As of June 30, 2021, only five loans remain in a temporarily modified state for COVID-19 relief.
If eventual credit losses are identified on loans that received modifications or other loans, accrued interest and fee income would be reversed at the time the loss is identified. If the loans are fully or partially charged off, future requirements for the provision for loan losses will increase. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes economic declines may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods. The Company is closely monitoring credit quality and developments related to the pandemic.
The Company has provided loans through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Through the program, banks may fund loans to qualifying borrowers with the expectation that the SBA will either pay off the loans and forgive the borrower’s debt, or guarantee the loans until the borrower pays off the debt. The loans bear a contractual interest rate of 1%, bolstered by an origination fee to be recognized over the life of the loan. Loans that are forgiven or paid off prior to maturity result in recognition of the outstanding origination fee at the date of forgiveness or payoff. The Company has assisted local businesses through the PPP by providing 1,259 loans totaling $83,023 since the program’s inception in April of 2020. To date, 674 PPP loans with original balances totaling $51,473 have been forgiven or paid off. As of June 30, 2021, the Company held $29,922 in PPP loans, net of deferred fees and costs. The company expects that the vast majority of the remaining loans will be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program, and that any remaining balances will be fully guaranteed by the SBA. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through provision for loan loss charged to earnings.
Asset valuation
COVID-19 has not affected the Company’s ability, nor is it expected to affect the Company’s ability, to account timely for the assets on its balance sheet. However if the impact of the pandemic worsens, valuation procedures in future periods could be negatively affected. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances, such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, usually during the fourth quarter using September 30 information, unless facts and circumstances indicate the need for more frequent impairment testing. If the evolution of the pandemic or other adverse events cause a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management deems to be a triggering event, under certain circumstances prescribed by U.S. GAAP, the Company will perform goodwill impairment testing as needed, which may be more frequently than annually. In the event that testing indicates that all or a portion of goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings.
Capital and liquidity
While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand a potential second economic recession if the pandemic resurges, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted if credit losses increase.
The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets are currently available to the Company. If the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic results in volatile or elevated funding costs for an extended period of time and if it becomes necessary for the Company to access wholesale funding, the Company’s net interest margin could be adversely affected. Deposits have increased since the beginning of the pandemic, however, if conditions worsen and cause a large number of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.
Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2021
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments are expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. ASU 2019-12 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. ASU 2020-01 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs.” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. ASU 2020-08 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2020, the CAA was passed. Under Section 541 of the CAA, Congress extended or modified many of the relief programs first created by the CARES Act, including the PPP loan program and treatment of certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company modified loans in accordance with the CAA and the CARES Act. Further discussion on loan modifications is noted in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require 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. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03. These ASU’s have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. Management is working to ensure readiness and compliance with the standard and has implemented coding of the loan portfolio to enable appropriate segregation and data integrity, analyzed correlations for forecasting, determined methodologies, and selected a vendor to provide a platform. Management has prepared multiple concurrent models using the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology and will continue to refine assumptions that impact the calculation prior to the effective date.
Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 119. SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 326”), “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Subsequently, in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020.The Company has one participation loan that references LIBOR and is working with the primary bank to determine appropriate actions. The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for this loan.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Certain disclosure requirements have been deleted while the following disclosure requirements have been added: the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements in paragraph 715-20-50-3, which state that the following information for defined benefit pension plans should be disclosed: The projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Allowance for Loan Losses, Nonperforming Assets and Impaired Loans
The allowance for loan losses methodology incorporates individual evaluation of impaired loans and collective evaluation of groups of non-impaired loans. The Company performs ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio to determine credit quality and to identify impaired loans. Credit quality is rated based on the loan’s payment history, the borrower’s current financial situation and value of the underlying collateral.
Impaired Loans
Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts will not be collected when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are those loans that have been modified in a TDR as well as larger, usually non-homogeneous loans that exhibit payment history or financial status that indicate that collection probably will not occur when due according to the loan’s terms.
Measurement
Impaired loans are individually evaluated to determine appropriate reserves and are measured at the lower of the invested amount or fair value. Fair value is estimated using the collateral method or the cash flow method. The collateral method is applied to collateral-dependent loans, loans for which foreclosure is imminent and to loans for which the fair value of collateral is a more reliable estimate of fair value. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The cash flow method is applied to loans that are not collateral dependent and for which cash flows may be estimated.
TDRs
TDRs are impaired loans. If the restructuring included forgiveness of a portion of principal or accrued interest, the charge-off is included in the historical charge-off rates applied to the collective evaluation methodology. Restructured loans are individually evaluated for impairment, and the amount of a restructured loan’s book value in excess of its fair value is accrued as a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses. If a TDR loan payment exceeds 90 days past due, it is examined to determine whether the late payment indicates collateral dependency or cash flows below those that were used in the fair value measurement. TDRs, as well as all impaired loans, that are determined to be collateral dependent are charged down to fair value. Deficiencies indicated by impairment measurements for TDRs that are not collateral dependent may be accrued in the allowance for loan losses or charged off if deemed uncollectible.
Please refer to the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on evaluation of impaired loans and associated specific reserves, and policies regarding nonaccruals, past due status and charge-offs.
Collectively-Evaluated Loans
The Company evaluated characteristics in the loan portfolio and determined major segments and smaller classes within each segment. These characteristics include collateral type, repayment sources, and (if applicable) the borrower’s business model. Loans within each class are further stratified by risk rating: pass-rated loans, loans rated special mention, and loans rated classified.
Portfolio Segments and Classes
The segments and classes used in determining the allowance for loan losses are as follows.
Real Estate Construction Construction, residential Construction, other
Consumer Real Estate Equity lines Residential closed-end first liens Residential closed-end junior liens Investor-owned residential real estate
Commercial Real Estate Multifamily real estate Commercial real estate, owner-occupied Commercial real estate, other | Commercial Non Real Estate Commercial and industrial
Public Sector and IDA Public sector and IDA
Consumer Non Real Estate Credit cards Automobile Other consumer loans |
Please refer to the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a discussion of risk factors pertinent to each class.
Credit risk is estimated at the class level, by risk rating, by applying historical net charge-off rates and percentages for qualitative factors that influence credit risk.
Historical Loss Rates
The Company’s allowance methodology for collectively evaluated loans applies historical loss rates by class to current class balances as part of the process of determining required reserves. The Company averages loss rates for the most recent eight quarters to determine the historical loss rate for each class.
Within each class, loans are risk rated pass, special mention or classified. Loss rates are applied based upon risk rating. Total net charge-offs for the class as a percentage of average class loan balance is applied to pass rated loans and loans rated special mention. Total net charge-offs for the class as a percentage of average classified loans in the class is applied to classified loans. Net charge-offs in both calculations include charge-offs and recoveries of classified and non-classified loans as well as those associated with impaired loans.
Qualitative Factors
In addition to historical loss rates, risk factors pertinent to credit risk for each class are analyzed to estimate reserves for collectively evaluated loans. Factors include changes in national and local economic and business conditions, the nature and volume of classes within the portfolio, loan quality, loan officers’ experience, lending policies and the Company’s loan review system.

Determination of risk ratings was completed for the portfolio as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Total TDRs amounted to $6,120 at June 30, 2021, $4,249 at December 31, 2020, and $4,340 at June 30, 2020. All of the Company’s TDR loans are fully funded and no further increase in credit is available.
TDRs Designated During the Reporting Period
During the three months ended June 30, 2021 the Company designated two loans as a TDR. The restructurings re-amortized the loans and reduced the interest rates to provide cash flow relief. No principal or interest was forgiven. The impairment measurement at June 30, 2021 was based upon the collateral method and did not result in a specific allocation.
The following table presents restructurings by class that occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company designated three loans as a TDR. For one loan, the restructurings shifted the payment structure from interest-only to amortizing and reduced the interest rate to provide cash flow relief. For two of the loans, the restructuring re-amortized the loans and reduced the interest rate to provide cash flow relief. No principal or interest was forgiven. The impairment measurement for all three loans at June 30, 2021 was based upon the collateral method and did not result in a specific allocation.

The Company has 145 securities with a fair value of $167,081 that are temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021. The total unrealized loss on these securities is $3,952. Of the temporarily impaired securities, eight securities with a fair value of $12,896 and an unrealized loss of $311 have been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. The Company determined that these eight securities are temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021 for the reasons set out below.
States and political subdivisions. The unrealized loss of $190 on state and political subdivision securities stemmed from five securities with a fair value of $7,709. The Company reviewed financial statements and cash flows for each of the securities in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months. The Company’s analysis determined that the unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate and market fluctuations and not associated with impaired financial status. The contractual terms of the investment do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. The Company is monitoring bond market trends to develop strategies to address unrealized losses. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized loss of $121 on mortgage-backed securities stemmed from three securities with a fair value of $5,187. The unrealized loss was caused by interest rate and market fluctuations. The contractual terms of the investment do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Restricted Stock.
The Company held restricted stock of $845 as of June 30, 2021 and $1,279 at December 31, 2020. Restricted stock is reported separately from available for sale securities. As a member bank of the Federal Reserve system and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), NBB is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of those entities. Required levels of investment are based upon NBB’s capital, current borrowings, and a percentage of qualifying assets. The correspondents provide calculations that require NBB to purchase or sell stock back to the correspondents. The stock is held by member institutions only and is not actively traded.
Redemption of FHLB stock is subject to certain limitations and conditions. At its discretion, the FHLB may declare dividends on the stock. In addition to dividends, NBB also benefits from its membership with FHLB through eligibility to borrow from the FHLB, using as collateral NBB’s capital stock investment in the FHLB and qualifying NBB real estate mortgage loans totaling $574,203 at June 30, 2021. Management reviews for impairment based upon the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis of the FHLB stock, and at June 30, 2021, management did not determine any impairment.
Management regularly monitors the credit quality of the investment portfolio. Changes in ratings are noted and follow-up research on the issuer is undertaken when warranted. Management intends to carefully monitor any changes in bond quality.

Note 6: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of the unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:
Level 1 – | Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
Level 2 – | Valuation is based on observable inputs including: |
● | quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, |
● | quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, |
● | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and |
● | model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. |
Level 1 – | Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. |
Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Accounting guidance for fair value excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis in the financial statements:
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available for Sale
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following tables.
The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company’s securities portfolio is valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company relies on a third party vendor to provide market valuations. The inputs used to determine value include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. The third-party vendor also monitors market indicators, industry activity and economic events as part the valuation process. Central to the final valuation is the assumption that the indicators used are representative of the fair value of securities held within the Company’s portfolio.
Level 2 inputs are subject to a certain degree of uncertainty and changes in these assumptions or methodologies in the future, if any, may impact securities fair value, deferred tax assets or liabilities, or expense.
Interest Rate Loan Contracts and Forward Contracts
The Company originates consumer real estate loans which it intends to sell to a correspondent lender. Interest rate lock contracts and forward contracts result from originating loans held for sale and are derivatives reported at fair value. The Company enters interest rate lock commitments with customers who apply for a loan which the Company intends to sell to a correspondent lender. The interest rate lock contract ends when the loan closes or the customer withdraws their application. Fair value of the interest rate lock contracts is based upon the correspondent lender’s pricing quotes at the report date. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower.
At the time the Company enters into an interest rate lock contract with a customer, it also enters into a best efforts forward sales commitment with the correspondent lender. If the loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitment converts to a mandatory forward sales commitment. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a level 3 input. The Company has elected to measure and report best efforts commitments at fair value.
Interest rate lock contracts and forward contracts are valued based on quotes from the correspondent lender at the reporting date. Pricing changes daily and if a loan has not been sold to the correspondent by the next reporting date, the fair value may be different from that reported currently. Changes in fair value measurement impacts net income.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain financial instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. If an individually evaluated impaired loan’s balance exceeds fair value, the excess amount is allocated to the allowance for loan losses. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The fair value of an impaired loan may be measured using one of three methods. Each method falls within a different level of the fair value hierarchy. The observable market price of a loan is categorized as a Level 1 input. The present value of projected cash flows method results in a Level 3 categorization because the calculation relies on the Company’s judgment to determine projected cash flows, which are then discounted at the current rate of the loan, or the rate prior to modification if the loan is a TDR. Loans measured using the fair value of collateral may be categorized in Level 2 or Level 3.
Loans valued using the collateral method may be secured by real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. Real estate collateral secures most loans and valuation is based upon the “as-is” value of independent appraisals or evaluations. Appraisals are used to value loans secured by residential 1-4 family properties with outstanding principal balances greater than $250 and commercial real estate loans with outstanding principal balances greater than $500. Appraisals or real estate evaluations prepared by a third party may be used to value loans with principal balances below these thresholds.
Appraisals of less than 24 months of age, conducted by independent, licensed appraisers using observable market data analyzed through an income or sales valuation approach result in Level 2 categorization. If a current appraisal cannot be obtained prior to a reporting date and an existing appraisal is discounted to obtain an estimated value, or if declines in value are identified after the date of the appraisal, or if an appraisal is discounted for estimated selling costs, or if the appraisal uses unobservable market data, the valuation of real estate collateral is categorized as Level 3. Valuations based on evaluations are categorized as Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal (Level 2) if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements (Level 3) if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).
If a current appraisal uses unobservable data as part of the assessment, the value of the collateral is classified as Level 3.
As of June 30, 2021, fair valuation procedures did not result in any individual allocation for impaired loans. The following table summarizes the Company’s impaired loans that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2020.

December 31, 2020 | Present value of cash flows | Discount rate | 5.50% | – | 6.50% | (5.78%) |
(1) | Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the impaired loans. |
(2) | Impaired loans using the fair value measurement included a single loan. |
At December 31, 2020, all impaired loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were measured using the present value of cash flows. The loans are TDRs and the discount rate is the contractual rate that was in effect prior to modification to TDR status. Future changes in cash flow assumptions or if the loans are charged off may result in greater losses than estimated at the reporting dates. An increase in the impairment measurement or a charge-off would increase the provision for loan losses.
Other Real Estate Owned
Certain assets such as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Valuation of OREO is determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a Level 2 input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained prior to reporting dates, or if declines in value are identified after a recent appraisal is received, appraisal values are discounted, resulting in Level 3 estimates. If the Company markets the property with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value, resulting in a valuation based on Level 3 inputs.
The following table summarizes the Company’s OREO that was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

OREO | Discounted appraised value | Discount for lack of marketability and age of appraisal | 0.00% | – | 7.66% | (0.62%)(1) |
(1) | Discounts were weighted by the relative appraised value of the OREO properties. |
(2) | The appraised value is discounted by selling costs if the OREO property is listed with a realtor and if appraised value exceeds the list price, less estimated selling costs. Selling costs do not discount appraised value if the Company markets the OREO property independently or if the OREO property is listed with a realtor and the list price less estimated selling costs exceeds appraised value. |
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, OREO properties were measured using appraised value, and if applicable, discounted by selling costs, lack of marketability and age of appraisal. Determining the discount to appraisals for selling cost and lack of marketability and age of the appraisal relies on certain key assumptions and judgements.
Discounts for selling costs and in some instances, marketability, result when the Company markets OREO properties via local realtors. The Company works with the realtor to determine the list price, which may be set at appraised value or at a different amount based on the realtor’s advice and management’s judgement of marketability. Selling costs for improved land generally are estimated at 6% of the list price, and for raw land at 10% of the list price. If the final sale price is different from the list price, the amount of selling costs will also be different from those estimated. Discounts for age may be applied if current appraisals cannot be obtained prior to reporting dates. The most recent appraised value available may be discounted based upon management judgement.
There is uncertainty in determining discounts to appraised value. Future changes to marketability assumptions or updated appraisals may indicate in lower fair value, with a corresponding impact to net income.
Fair Value Summary
The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For non-marketable equity securities, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government-supported institution or to another member institution. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity. Fair values are estimated using the exit price notion.

Note 8: Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, credit and debit card fees, trust income, and annuity and insurance commissions are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are outside the scope of the guidance. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of monthly service fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees, automated teller machine (“ATM”) fees, wire transfer fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Wire transfer fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees and other deposit account related fees are transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time.
Other Service Charges and Fees
Other service charges include safe deposit box rental fees, check ordering charges, and other service charges. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. Check ordering charges are transactional based, and therefore the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time.
Credit and Debit Card Fees
Credit and debit card fees are primarily comprised of interchange fee income and merchant services income. Interchange fees are earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. The Company’s performance obligation for interchange fee income and merchant services income are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. In compliance with Topic 606, credit and debit card fee income is presented net of associated expense.
Trust Income
Trust income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Estate management fees are based upon the size of the estate. A partial fee is recognized half-way through the estate administration and the remainder of the fee is recognized when remaining assets are distributed and the estate is closed.
Insurance and Investment
Insurance income primarily consists of commissions received on insurance product sales. The Company acts as an intermediary between the Company’s customer and the insurance carrier. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy. Shortly after the insurance policy is issued, the carrier remits the commission payment to the Company, and the Company recognizes the revenue.
Investment income consists of recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and other investments are recognized on trade date, which is when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company also receives periodic service fees (i.e., trailers) from mutual fund companies typically based on a percentage of net asset value. Trailer revenue is recorded over time, usually monthly or quarterly, as net asset value is determined.
The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

Note 9: Leases
The Company’s leases are recorded under ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company examines its contracts to determine whether they are or contain a lease. A contract with a lease is further examined to determine whether the lease is a short-term, operating or finance lease. As permitted by ASC Topic 842, the Company elected not to capitalize short-term leases, defined by the standard as leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components within a single contract.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for operating and finance leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.
Lease payments
Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred. Payments for leases with terms longer than 12 months are included in the determination of the lease liability. Payments may be fixed for the term of the lease or variable. If the lease agreement provides a known escalator, such as a specified percentage increase per year or a stated increase at a specified time, the variable payment is included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. If the variable payment is based upon an unknown escalator, such as the consumer price index at a future date, the increase is not included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability.
Two of the Company’s leases provide known escalators that are included in the determination of the lease liability. One lease has an annual escalator based on the consumer price index-urban (“CPI-U”). The remaining leases do not have variable payments during the term of the lease.
Options to Extend, Residual Value Guarantees, and Restrictions and Covenants
Of the Company’s six operating leases, three leases offer the option to extend the lease term. Each of the three leases provides two options of five years each. For one of the leases, the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise one option of five years and has included the additional time and lease payments in the calculation of the lease liability. The lease agreement provides that the lease payment will increase at the exercise date based on the CPI-U. Because the CPI-U at the exercise date is unknown, the increase is not included in the cash flows determining the lease liability. None of the Company’s leases provide for residual value guarantees and none provide restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.
The Company’s lease right of use asset is included in other assets and the lease liability is included in other liabilities. The following tables present information about leases:

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the most recently filed Form 10-K.
Cybersecurity
The Company considers cybersecurity risk to be one of the greatest risks to its business. We have deployed a multi-faceted approach to limit the risk and impact of unauthorized access to customer accounts and to information relevant to customer accounts. We use digital technology safeguards, internal policies and procedures, and employee training to reduce the exposure of our systems to cyber-intrusions. We do not offer online account openings or loan originations, limit the dollar amount of online banking transfers to other banks, do not permit customers to submit address changes or wire requests through online banking, require a special vetting process for commercial customers who wish to originate ACH transfers, and limit certain functionalities of mobile banking. The Company also requires assurances from key vendors regarding their cybersecurity.
Further, the Company has a program to identify, mitigate and manage its cybersecurity risks. The program includes penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, technological defenses such as antivirus software, patch management, firewall management, email and web protections, an intrusion prevention system, a cybersecurity insurance policy which covers some but not all losses arising from cybersecurity breaches, as well as ongoing employee training. The costs of these measures were $95 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $95 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the expense was $193 and $188 respectively. These costs are included in various categories of noninterest expense.
However, it is not possible to fully eliminate exposure. The potential for financial and reputational losses due to cyber-breaches is increased by the possibility of human error, unknown system susceptibilities, and the rising sophistication of cyber-criminals to attack systems, disable safeguards and gain access to accounts and related information. We maintain insurance for these risks but insurance policies are subject to exceptions, exclusions and terms whose applications have not been widely interpreted in litigation. Accordingly, insurance can provide less than complete protection against the losses that result from cybersecurity breaches and pursuing recovery from insurers can result in significant expense. In addition, some risks such as reputational damage and loss of customer goodwill, which can result from cybersecurity breaches, cannot be insured against.
Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy for approximately 15 months. The Company has complied with national, state and local guidelines to help reduce the spread of the virus, including implementing social distancing measures for employees and customers. The Company’s business relies on positive relationships with customers. At this time, we feel our customer relationships remain strong and our team remains ready to provide banking services. All forms of customer service are now available without restriction.
The Company has a robust business continuity plan, and partners with vendors whom we believe also have robust business continuity plans. In implementing its business continuity plan to address the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has not incurred material expenditures and does not anticipate material expenditures. Further, all critical functions are cross-trained as part of our business continuity preparedness. Controls over cash and physical assets have remained in place and internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure have been maintained.
The Company continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic on significant estimates, including the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill and pension obligations. The impact to the allowance for loan losses is discussed under the “Asset Quality” section. Analysis as of June 30, 2021 did not indicate negative impacts to the valuation of goodwill or pension obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to certain financial measures that are computed under a basis other than U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”), including the net interest margin and the noninterest margin.
Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity
The return on average assets and return on average equity are measures of profitability. The return on average assets and return on average equity are calculated by annualizing net income and dividing by average year-to-date assets or equity, respectively. When net income includes larger nonrecurring items, the annualization magnifies their effect. In order to reduce distortion within the ratios, the Company adjusts net income for larger non-recurring items prior to annualization, and then nets the items against the annualized net income. The reconciliation of adjusted annualized net income, which is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP, is reflected in the table below.
The following table details the calculation of annualized net income for the return on average assets and the return on average equity:

During the first quarter of each year, the Company adjusts its basis in partnership interests. During 2021 and 2020, the adjustment resulted in recognition of a gain. During 2021, the Company also received a one-time payout from a partnership interest, recognized in income. Partnership income is removed from income prior to annualization in order to avoid distortion, and added back to income after annualization. |
Net Interest Margin
The Company uses the net interest margin to measure profit on interest generating activities, as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized taxable equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is nontaxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit is 21%. The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP, to net interest income, is reflected in the table below.

Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis and noninterest income, excluding certain items management deems unusual or non-recurring. The tax rate used to calculate fully taxable equivalent basis is 21%. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes provides investors with important information regarding operational efficiency. The components of the efficiency ratio calculation are summarized in the following table.

Noninterest Margin
The Company uses the noninterest margin to evaluate net noninterest expense. A lower noninterest margin indicates more effective expense management in relation to noninterest income generation. The noninterest margin is calculated as noninterest expense less noninterest income (excluding realized securities gain/loss, net), annualizing the difference, and dividing by average year-to-date assets. The annualization process excludes significant one-time items to prevent distortion. The reconciliation of adjusted noninterest income and adjusted noninterest expense, which are not measurements under GAAP, is reflected in the table below.

Critical Accounting Policies
General
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions may not change, the timing of events that would impact the transactions could change.
Presented below is a discussion of accounting policies that are the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. If conditions occur that differ from our assumptions, depending upon the severity of such differences, the Company’s financial condition or results of operations may be materially impacted. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as needed.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance is funded by the provision for loan losses, reduced by charge-offs of loans and increased by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. The determination of the allowance is based on two accounting principles, ASC Topic 450-20 (Contingencies) which requires that losses be accrued when occurrence is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, and ASC Topic 310-10 (Receivables) which requires accrual of losses on impaired loans if the recorded investment exceeds fair value. Probable losses are accrued through two calculations, individual evaluation of impaired loans and collective evaluation of the remainder of the portfolio.
Impaired loans
Impaired loans are identified through the Company’s credit risk rating process. Nonaccrual loan relationships that meet the Company’s balance threshold of $250 are designated impaired. Other loan relationships that meet the Company’s balance threshold of $250 and for which the Company does not expect to collect according to the note’s contractual terms are also designated impaired. All TDRs are impaired loans.
TDRs
TDRs are impaired loans and are measured for impairment under the same valuation methods as other impaired loans. In the ordinary course of business, the Company grants modification requests when deemed appropriate. Modifications may be granted for competitive reasons or to strengthen repayment prospects for borrowers who may or may not be experiencing financial difficulty. The Company reviews all modifications to determine whether, at the time of the modification, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and whether the Company provided a concession that it would not otherwise consider. Loans with modifications that meet these criteria are designated TDR.
The CARES Act, the CAA as well as regulatory agencies, provided guidance allowing banks to forego TDR designation for COVID-19 related accommodations to loans that met certain criteria. Under the legislation, short-term modifications to loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 are not considered for TDR designation. In accordance with the guidance, the Company did not designate TDR status for modifications to loans impacted by the pandemic that met the criteria. Additional tracking mechanisms implemented at the beginning of the pandemic continue to aid the Company in monitoring COVID-19 related modifications.
When the Company grants subsequent modifications to a loan that received a COVID-19 modification, in accordance with accounting guidance, it considers whether the totality of the accommodations along with the evaluation of borrower financial difficulty, exceed the criteria provided by the CARES Act and/or result in TDR status. Every modification is reviewed for TDR indicators with additional evaluation and documentation requirements for all COVID-19 related modifications to loans over $250.
Individual evaluation
Impaired loans are individually evaluated at each reporting date. If the fair value of an impaired loan is less than the loan’s recorded investment, the deficit is accrued to the allowance for loan losses as a specific allocation.
Cash flow method
Fair value measurement under the cash flow method incorporates assumptions specific to each loan for expected cash flows, timing of cash flows and the discount rate. For TDR loans, the discount rate used is the rate immediately prior to the modification that resulted in a TDR.
Collateral method
Fair value under the collateral method is based upon the “as-is” value of independent appraisals or evaluations. Appraisals must conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and are prepared by an independent third-party appraiser who is certified and licensed and who is approved by the Company. Appraisals may incorporate market analysis, comparable sales analysis, cash flow analysis and market data pertinent to the property to determine market value.
Evaluations are prepared by third party providers and reviewed by employees of the Company who are independent of the loan origination, operation, management and collection functions. Evaluations provide a property’s market value based on the property’s current physical condition and characteristics and the economic market conditions that affect the collateral’s market value. Multiple sources of data contribute to the estimate of market value, including physical inspection, independent third-party automated tools, comparable sales analysis and local market information.
Updated appraisals or evaluations are ordered when the loan becomes impaired if the appraisal or evaluation on file is more than 24 months old. Appraisals and evaluations are reviewed for propriety and reasonableness and may be discounted if the Company determines that the value exceeds reasonable levels. If an updated appraisal or evaluation has been ordered but has not been received by a reporting date, the fair value may be based on the most recent available appraisal or evaluation, discounted for age. The appraisal or evaluation value for a collateral-dependent loan for which recovery is expected solely from the sale of collateral is reduced by estimated selling costs.
Charge-off
Estimated losses on collateral-dependent loans, as well as any other impairment loss considered uncollectible, are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Impairment losses that are not considered uncollectible or for loans that are not collateral-dependent are accrued in the allowance. Impaired loans with partial charge-offs are maintained as impaired until the remaining balance is satisfied.
Nonaccrual Status of Impaired Loans
Impaired loans that are not TDRs and for which fair value measurement indicates an impairment loss are designated nonaccrual. A TDR loan that maintains current status for at least six months may accrue interest.
Collectively-evaluated loans
Credit loss on collectively-evaluated loans is estimated by applying to current class balances the class historical charge-off rates and percentages for qualitative factors that affect credit risk. Additional allocations are provided for loans within each class rated special mention or classified and for loans designated high risk.
Risk rating
Risk ratings indicate credit quality and are assigned through the Company’s credit review function for larger loans and selective review of loans that fall below credit review thresholds. Loans that do not indicate heightened risk are rated as “pass.” All loans secured by real estate and all consumer loans are risk rated “classified” when they become 75 days past due. Commercial loans are rated “special mention” when they appear to have elevated credit risk indicated by possible deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition or collateral. Commercial loans not secured by real estate receive a rating of “classified” when they exhibit frequent or persistent delinquency exceeding 75 days or indicate a higher level of weakness in borrower financial condition. Qualitative factor allocations for pass-rated loans increased by 50% for special mention loans and doubled for classified loans.
High risk loans
High risk loans include junior liens, interest only and high loan to value loans. High risk loans within each class are analyzed and allocated additional reserves based on current trends.
Standard allocations
The analysis of certain factors results in standard allocations to all segments and classes. These factors include the risk from changes in lending policies, loan officers’ average years of experience, and economic factors including unemployment levels, bankruptcy rates, interest rate environment, and competition/legal/regulatory environments. Qualitative factors incorporate economic data targeted to the Company’s market. If market–specific information is not available on a timely basis, regional or national information that historically shows a high degree of correlation to market data may be used.
Also applied to all segments and classes is an economic factor implemented to address COVID-19 uncertainty: national unemployment filings. Since local data is not available timely and historical analysis determined that local unemployment filings were closely correlated to national unemployment filings, the Company elected to allocate based upon national unemployment filings.
Allocations specific to each class
Factors analyzed for each class, with resultant allocations based upon the level of risk assessed for each class, include the risk from changes in loan review, levels of past due loans, levels of nonaccrual loans, current class balance as a percentage of total loans, loans that received COVID-related modifications at are still in the modification period, and the percentage of high risk loans within the class.
Nonaccrual status
The Company reviews loans with certain risk indicators to determine whether the loans should be placed on nonaccrual status, including loans that exceed 90 days past due, loans rated classified, loans with a non-COVID 19 related modification that provides relief from payments of interest or principle for more than 90 days.
Loans in nonaccrual are reviewed on an individual loan basis to determine whether future payments are reasonably assured. To satisfy this criteria, the Company’s evaluation must determine that the underlying cause of the original delinquency or weakness that indicated nonaccrual status has been resolved, such as receipt of new guarantees, increased cash flows that cover the debt service or other resolution. Nonaccrual loans that demonstrate reasonable assurance of future payments and that have made at least six consecutive payments in accordance with repayment terms and timeframes may be returned to accrual status.
Sales, Purchases and Reclassification of Loans
The Company finances mortgages under “best efforts” contracts with mortgage purchasers. The mortgages are designated as held for sale upon initiation. There have been no major reclassifications from portfolio loans to held for sale. Mortgages held for sale are not included in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.
Occasionally, the Company purchases or sells participations in loans. All participation loans purchased met the Company’s normal underwriting standards at the time the participation was entered. Participation loans are included in the appropriate portfolio balances to which the allowance methodology is applied.
Unallocated Surplus
In addition to funding the allowance for loan losses based upon data analysis, the Company has the option to fund an unallocated surplus in excess to the calculated requirement, based upon management judgement. The Company’s policy permits an unallocated surplus of between 0% and 5% of the calculated requirement.
Estimation of the allowance for loan losses
The estimation of the allowance involves analysis of internal and external variables, methodologies, assumptions and our judgment and experience. Key judgments used in determining the allowance for loan losses include internal risk rating determinations, market and collateral values, discount rates, loss rates, and our view of current economic conditions. These judgments are inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimate. Future estimates of the allowance could increase or decrease based on changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, concentrations of various types of loans, economic conditions or the markets in which collateral may be sold. The estimate of the allowance accrual determines the amount of provision expense and directly affects our financial results.
The estimate of the allowance for June 30, 2021 considered market conditions as of June 30, 2021 where possible, and the most recent available information when data was not available as of June 30, 2021, portfolio conditions and levels of delinquencies at June 30, 2021, and net charge-offs in the eight quarters prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Some of the available economic data lags the reporting date by one to three months. Delinquency levels at June 30, 2021 are lower than they might otherwise have been due to modifications granted to qualifying borrowers in accordance with regulatory guidance and legislative provisions in the CARES Act and CAA, including loan payment extensions, interest only periods and rate reductions to borrowers. Past due status will not occur during the period in which a payment is extended. Providing an interest only period affords borrowers lower payments during the interest only period. When extension periods and interest only periods expire, there may be increases in past dues that will increase the requirement for the allowance for loan loss. Management used its best judgement and efforts in incorporating possible impacts as of June 30, 2021 in estimating the allowance for loan losses, but if the current economic challenges worsen, the ultimate amount of loss could vary from that estimate. For additional discussion of the allowance, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and “Asset Quality,” and “Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses.”
Goodwill
Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company contracts with a third party valuation expert to perform impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company’s most recent impairment test was performed using data from September 30, 2020. Accounting guidance provides the option of performing preliminary assessment of qualitative factors before performing more substantial testing for impairment. The Company opted not to perform the preliminary assessment. The Company’s goodwill impairment analysis considered three valuation techniques appropriate to the measurement. The first technique uses the Company’s market capitalization as an estimate of fair value; the second technique estimates fair value using current market pricing multiples for companies comparable to the Company; while the third technique uses current market pricing multiples for change-of-control transactions involving companies comparable to the Company. The analysis did not result in an impairment assessment.
Certain key judgments were used in the valuation measurement. Goodwill is held by the Company’s bank subsidiary. The bank subsidiary is 100% owned by the Company, and no market capitalization is available. Because most of the Company’s assets are comprised of the subsidiary bank’s equity, the Company’s market capitalization was used to estimate the Bank’s market capitalization. Other judgments include the assumption that the companies and transactions used as comparables for the second and third technique were appropriate to the estimate of the Company’s fair value, and that the comparable multiples are appropriate indicators of fair value, and compliant with accounting guidance.
Pension Plan
The Company’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension plan expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions may include the discount rate, the estimated return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of compensation increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, or in the method under which benefits are calculated, may impact pension assets, liabilities or expense.

Return on average assets and return on average equity are non-GAAP measures. Components of U.S. GAAP net income that are deemed non-recurring by management are removed prior to annualizing the adjusted net income. The adjusted net income is annualized. Items deemed non-recurring by management are added back to the annualized adjusted net income, and the total is divided by average assets for return on average assets, or divided by average equity for return on average equity. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. |

Net interest margin is a non-GAAP measure. Tax advantaged portions of net interest income are adjusted to their fully-taxable equivalent basis and divided by average earning assets. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. |
(3) |
Noninterest margin is a non-GAAP measure. Noninterest income is adjusted for items deemed by management to be non-recurring and securities gains and losses. Adjusted noninterest income is subtracted from noninterest expense and the difference is annualized, then non-recurring items are added back and the sum is divided by average year-to-date assets. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. |

The Company’s risk analysis at June 30, 2021 determined an allowance for loan losses of $8,077 or 1.00% of loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. Included in loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs are $29,922 in Paycheck Protection Program loans. Because PPP loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, they are not included in the calculation for the allowance for loan losses. If the PPP loans are removed from loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, the allowance ratio is 1.04%. The allowance at December 31, 2020 was $8,481 or 1.10% of loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. Excluding PPP loans, the ratio of the allowance to loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at December 31, 2020 was 1.16%.
The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses resulted in a provision of $54 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with a provision of $1,831 for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. To determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers credit risk for certain loans designated as impaired and for non-impaired (“collectively evaluated”) loans.
Individually Evaluated Impaired Loans
Individually evaluated impaired loans at June 30, 2021 were $6,774 gross and $6,776 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. There were no specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2020, individually evaluated impaired loans totaled $4,903 gross and $4,905 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, with specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses totaling $75. The specific allocation is determined based on criteria particular to each impaired loan.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and may lead to additional loans designated as impaired in future quarters. Cash flow assumptions associated with impaired loans measured under the cash flow method may be impacted if borrowers are further distressed by the economic impacts of the pandemic, resulting in lower measurements and higher funding requirements for the allowance for loan losses. Real estate activity in the Company’s market over the most recent 12 months has been robust. However if the real estate market changes, collateral values for impaired loans measured under the collateral method could decline and may result in charge-offs.
Collectively Evaluated Loans
Collectively evaluated loans totaled $800,432 gross and $798,418 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, with an allowance of $8,077 or 1.01% of collectively-evaluated loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the collectively evaluated allowance ratio was 1.05% at June 30, 2021. At December 31, 2020, collectively evaluated loans totaled $765,124 gross and $763,894 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, with an allowance of $8,406 or 1.10%. Excluding PPP loans, the collectively evaluated allowance ratio was 1.16% at December 31, 2020.
Collectively evaluated loans are divided into classes based upon risk characteristics. In order to calculate the allowance for collectively evaluated loans, the Company applies to each loan class a historical net charge-off rate for the class, adjusted for qualitative factors that influence credit risk. Qualitative factors evaluated for impact to credit risk include economic measures, asset quality indicators, loan characteristics, and changes to internal Company policies and changes in management.
Net Charge-Offs
Increases in the net charge-off rate increase the required allowance for collectively-evaluated loans, while decreases in the net charge-off rate decrease the required allowance for collectively-evaluated loans. Charge-off rates are calculated and applied on a class level.
On a portfolio level, net charge-offs were $458 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, or 0.12% of average loans. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $386 or 0.10% of average loans, while net charge-offs for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 were $373 or 0.05% of average loans.
The 8-quarter average historical loss rate was 0.07% as of June 30, 2021, 0.07% as of December 31, 2020 and 0.09% as of June 30, 2020.
Economic Factors
Economic factors influence credit risk and impact the allowance for loan loss. The Company considers economic indicators within its market area, including: unemployment, business and personal bankruptcy filings, the residential vacancy rate and the inventory of new and existing homes.
The Company sources economic data pertinent to its market from the most recently available publications. However, some economic indicators lag the report date by one to three months. In periods of low volatility, lagging indicators are accepted as reasonably representative of current conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant uncertainty which results in the need for greater timeliness in information.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the Company implemented a qualitative factor for national unemployment filings to represent current economic data. Unemployment filings for the Company’s market area is not available on a timely basis, however national data is available on a timely basis and historical analysis shows a strong correlation between national and local unemployment filings. National unemployment claims escalated sharply beginning in the latter half of March 2020. Weekly claims peaked at the beginning of April 2020 and have fallen since, but for the six months ended June 30, 2021, are almost three times pre-pandemic levels. The Company assessed this as a significant impact to credit risk at June 30, 2021, but lower than at December 31, 2020.
The Company continues to monitor the most recently available economic indicators for its market and their effect on credit risk. As of June 30, 2021, the unemployment rate for the Company’s market area was measured as of April 30, 2021 and decreased from the measurement available at December 31, 2020, decreasing the allocation to the allowance for loan losses.
Business and personal bankruptcy filing data was available as of March 2021. Higher bankruptcy filings indicate heightened credit risk and increase the allowance for loan losses, while lower bankruptcy filings have a beneficial impact on credit risk. Compared with data available at December 31, 2020, business bankruptcies were slightly lower and resulted in a slightly lower allocation, while personal bankruptcies were slightly higher and resulted in a slightly higher allocation.
Residential vacancy rates and housing inventory impact the Company’s residential construction customers and the consumer real estate market. Higher levels increase credit risk. The residential vacancy rate at June 30, 2021 was measured as of the first quarter of 2021 and while still lower than normal levels, worsened slightly from the data incorporated into the December 31, 2020 calculation, resulting in a higher allocation. Housing inventory data was available as of June 30, 2021. Levels are historically low but were slightly higher than those at December 31, 2020, resulting in a slightly higher allocation.
Asset Quality Indicators
Asset quality indicators, including past due levels, nonaccrual levels and internal risk ratings, are evaluated at the class level.
Loans past due and loans designated nonaccrual indicate heightened credit risk. Increases in past due and nonaccrual loans increase the required level of the allowance for loan losses and decreases in past due and nonaccrual loans reduce the required level of the allowance for loan losses.
Accruing loans past due 30-89 days were 0.14% of total loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2021, a decrease from 0.19% at December 31, 2020. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were 0.00% of total loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2021 were 0.47% of total loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, slightly lower than 0.48% at December 31, 2020.
Loans rated special mention and classified (together, “criticized assets”) indicate heightened credit risk. Higher levels of criticized assets increase the required level of the allowance for collectively-evaluated loans, while lower levels of criticized assets reduce the required level of the allowance for collectively-evaluated loans. Collectively evaluated loans rated special mention were $5,276 at June 30, 2021, slightly lower than $8,035 at December 31, 2020. Collectively evaluated loans rated classified were $618 at June 30, 2021, an increase from $473 at December 31, 2020.
The Company provided COVID-19 related accommodations to qualifying borrowers. The Company followed its normal risk rating practices and in keeping with the regulatory guidance, did not automatically downgrade the risk rating on loans that received COVID-19 accommodations. Without the regulatory provision, additional loans may have been included in past due data and criticized assets as of June 30, 2021.
Other Factors
The Company considers other factors that impact credit risk, including the interest rate environment, the competitive, legal and regulatory environments, changes in lending policies and loan review, changes in management, and high risk loans, as well as a factor to measure the risk from loans that received a COVID-19 modification and then received a subsequent COVID-19 modification.
The interest rate environment impacts variable rate loans. If interest rates increase, the payment on variable rate loans increases, which may increase credit risk. The interest rate environment is at a low level as of June 30, 2021, unchanged from the level at December 31, 2020. The low level of interest rates indicates no additional credit risk.
The competitive, legal and regulatory environments were evaluated for changes that would impact credit risk. Higher competition for loans increases credit risk, while lower competition decreases credit risk. Competition remained at similar levels to those at December 31, 2020. The legal and regulatory environments remain in a similar posture to that at December 31, 2020.
Lending policies, loan review procedures and management’s experience influence credit risk. Since December 31, 2020, there have been no changes that affect credit risk to the Company’s lending policies or loan review procedures, or changes in management’s experience.
Levels of high risk loans are considered in the determination of the level of the allowance for loan loss. A decrease in the level of high risk loans within a class decreases the required allocation for the loan class, and an increase in the level of high risk loans within a class increases the required allocation for the loan class. Total high risk loans decreased $12,047 or 10.64% from the level at December 31, 2020, resulting in a decreased allocation.
In light of COVID-19 related modifications, the Company considers the impact to credit risk of certain loans granted COVID-19 related modifications. The loans captured in the analysis were granted COVID-19 related modifications subsequent to initial COVID-19 related modifications that remained in their modification period at the reporting date and were flagged by credit review procedures for additional monitoring. The loans within this population at June 30, 2021 decreased significantly from December 31, 2020, resulting in a decreased allocation.
Unallocated Surplus
The unallocated surplus at June 30, 2021 is $373 or 4.8% in excess of the calculated requirement. The unallocated surplus at December 31, 2020 was $396 or 4.9% in excess of the calculated requirement. The surplus provides some mitigation of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19.
Conclusion
The calculation of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses incorporates analysis of multiple factors and requires management’s prudent and informed judgment. The most recently available data showed improvements that decreased the required level of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021 from December 31, 2020 including loans considered high risk, business bankruptcy filings, the unemployment rate and certain loans with COVID-19 related modifications. Other indicators showed worsening from levels at December 31, 2020 and increased the required level of the allowance for loan losses, including some asset quality indicators. Continued high national unemployment filings contributed to the allowance for loan losses. The Company also maintained its unallocated surplus at 4.8% to mitigate some of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Based on analysis of historical indicators, asset quality and economic factors, management believes the level of allowance for loan losses is reasonable for the credit risk in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2021.
Please refer to Note 3: Allowance for Loan Losses, Nonperforming Assets and Impaired Loans for further information on collectively evaluated loans, individually evaluated impaired loans and the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses.

OREO decreased $546 when the balance at June 30, 2021 is compared with the balance at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, loans in in various stages of foreclosure totaled $140 and were secured by residential real estate. Loans currently in process of foreclosure may impact OREO in future quarters. It is not possible to accurately predict the future total of OREO because property sold at foreclosure may be acquired by third parties and OREO properties are regularly marketed and sold.
The Company continues to monitor risk levels within the loan portfolio, including any effect on collateral values from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has not impacted real estate values in the Company’s market and has not impacted current OREO values.
Modifications and TDRs
In the ordinary course of business the Company modifies loan terms on a case-by-case basis, including consumer and commercial loans, for a variety of reasons. Modifications may include rate reductions, payment extensions of varying lengths of time, a change in amortization term or method or other arrangements. Payment extensions allow borrowers temporary payment relief and result in extending the original contractual maturity by the number of months for which the extension was granted. The Company may grant payment extensions to borrowers who have demonstrated a willingness and ability to repay their loan but who are experiencing consequences of a specific unforeseen temporary hardship. If the temporary event is not expected to impact a borrower’s ability to repay the debt, and if the Company expects to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the extension period at contractual maturity, the modification is not designated a TDR.
Modifications to consumer loans generally involve short-term payment extensions to accommodate specific, temporary circumstances. Modifications to commercial loans may include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rate, maturity, amortization and financial covenants. If the modified terms are consistent with competitive market conditions and representative of terms the borrower could otherwise obtain in the open market, the modified loan is not categorized as a TDR.
The Company codes modifications to assist in identifying TDRs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company provided 454 modifications for competitive reasons to loans totaling $47,573. The modifications were not TDRs and were not related to COVID-19. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company provided non-TDR modifications for competitive reasons to 583 loans totaling $89,899. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company provided non-TDR modifications for competitive reasons to 1,047 loans totaling $152,681.
COVID-19 Modifications
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted a significant number of the Company’s borrowers, and may continue to adversely impact some borrowers for the foreseeable future. Since the pandemic began in March 2020, the Company provided modifications related to COVID-19 financial difficulty, including payment extensions and interest only periods. The CARES Act, the CAA and regulatory guidance specify criteria that, if met, provide an election not to designate the loans as TDRs. The TDRs designated during the three months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from COVID-19 related modifications that did not meet the legal and regulatory criteria to avoid designation as TDR. All of the Company’s other COVID-19 related modifications met the criteria and were not designated TDR. The Company followed its normal risk rating and nonaccrual designation procedures and did not automatically downgrade or designate as nonaccrual if the loan was modified for COVID-19 related difficulty.
The following tables provide information regarding COVID-19 related modifications for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, and the 12 months ended December 31, 2020.

Rate reductions were granted to qualifying loans and are permanent for the remaining term of the loan. Rate reductions were provided to alleviate COVID-19 hardship and also to remain competitive in the current low interest rate environment. |
Methodology
A loan that received multiple modifications as part of one request, for instance, a rate reduction and a payment extension, is presented only under one modification category. A loan that was modified pursuant to a first request and then was modified subsequently pursuant to a separate request is included for each of the requests. For example, a loan that received a payment extension under a first request and a rate reduction under a second request is counted in the rate reduction category and again in the payment extension category.
Loans Remaining Within the Modification Period at June 30, 2021
Of the loans modified for pandemic related hardships, 5 loans remained in their modification period at June 30, 2021: one loan totaling $1 thousand remained in deferral and another four loans totaling $5.7 million remained on interest-only payments. To account for the possible increase in credit risk from loans that have not emerged from their modification period, the Company provided an allocation to the allowance for loan losses.
TDR Designation
Modifications of loan terms to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are made in an attempt to protect as much of the Company’s investment in the loan as possible. Restructuring generally results in a loan with either lower payments or a maturity extended beyond that originally required, and is expected to result in a lower risk of loss associated with nonperformance than the pre-modified loan. The Company restructured loan terms for certain qualified financially distressed borrowers who agreed to work in good faith and demonstrated the ability to make the restructured payments.
The determination of whether a modification should be designated a TDR requires consideration of all facts and circumstances surrounding the transaction. With the exception of borrowers affected by COVID-19 who fall under the legislative provisions discussed above, modifications in which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and for which the Company makes a concession to the original contractual loan terms are designated TDRs. Concessions may include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate below market rate for loans of similar terms and credit quality, an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate below a comparable market rate, restructuring an amortizing loan to interest only for a period, or forgiveness of principal or accrued interest.
All TDR loans are individually evaluated for impairment for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. TDR loans that do not demonstrate current payments for at least six months are maintained on nonaccrual until the borrower demonstrates sustained repayment history under the restructured terms and continued repayment is not in doubt. Otherwise, interest income is recognized using a cost recovery method.
The Company’s TDRs were $6,120 at June 30, 2021, an increase from $4,249 at December 31, 2020. Accruing TDR loans amounted to $3,011 at June 30, 2021 and $1,410 at December 31, 2020. The following tables present the past due status of TDRs as of the dates indicated.

The net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 declined when compared with the comparable periods of 2020. The decline is due to high levels of loan re-finance activity, spurred by the Federal Reserve rate cuts in March 2020. Also impacted by the Federal Reserve rate cuts were investment opportunities in the bond market. Replacing matured and called securities and investing excess liquidity from customer deposits resulted in lower yields for taxable and nontaxable securities. Further, uncertainty surrounding the length of time that customer deposits, bolstered by federal stimulus aid, will remain with the Bank resulted in a higher balance in interest-bearing deposits, which provides the lowest yielding investment opportunity. The Company reacted to the Federal Reserve rate cuts by reducing offering rates on deposits. The Company’s yield on earning assets and cost of funds are largely dependent on the interest rate environment.
Fees and interest income from PPP loans helped increase the net interest margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, PPP loans increased average loans by $37,937, and provided $98 in interest and $344 in fee recognition. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, PPP loans increased average loans by $38,079 and provided $198 in interest and $894 in fee recognition. If PPP loans are excluded, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 would have been 2.60% and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 would have been 2.66%. Net deferred fees that will be recognized over the life of the PPP loans at June 30, 2021 were $1,591.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $4 and $54 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with $1,352 and $1,831 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was increased by the addition of a qualitative factor to reflect the impact of the beginning of the pandemic. This and other factors have improved significantly during 2021, resulting in lower provision in 2021. The provision for loan losses is the result of a detailed analysis to estimate an adequate allowance for loan losses. See “Asset Quality” for additional information.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $94 when the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared, primarily due to increases in NSF and overdraft fee income and ATM fee income. When the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared, service charges on deposits decreased $19, primarily due to lower NSF and overdraft fee income. NSF and overdraft activity declined at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and has begun to increase in 2021.
Other service charges and fees increased $6 and $8 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2020. Other service charges include charges for official checks, income from the sale of checks to customers, safe deposit box rent, fees for letters of credit and the income earned from commissions on the sale of credit life, accident and health insurance.
Credit and debit card fees are presented net of interchange expense. Credit and debit card fees increased $93 and $221 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 when compared with the same periods last year. Credit and debit card fees are based on volume and other factors.
Income from trust fees increased $47 and $28 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 when compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2020. Trust income varies depending on the total assets held in trust accounts, the type of accounts under management and financial market conditions.
BOLI income decreased $9 and $24 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared. The Company purchased an additional $5 million in BOLI investments during June, 2021.
Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased $83 and $40 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates in March, 2020 in response to the pandemic, which spurred a high level of real estate refinance and purchase financing activity. This activity is beginning to normalize in 2021.
Other income includes revenue from investment and insurance sales, adjustments to partnership bases and other miscellaneous components. These areas fluctuate with market conditions and competitive factors. Other income increased $110 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 when compared with the same period ended June 30, 2020 due to increased commissions on securities sales, a one-time bonus payment from a vendor and an increase in dividends on a partnership investment. When the six month periods are compared, other income increased $298, primarily due to increased commissions on securities sales, dividends, a one-time commission and a one-time bonus payment.
The Company did not have a gain or loss on securities during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and realized a gain on securities of $5 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During 2020, the Company realized a gain of $62 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $82 during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

Total noninterest expense increased $370 or 6.09% when the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared, and increased $439 or 3.50% when the six month period ended June 30, 2021 is compared with the same period of 2020.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $454 when the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared and increased $487 when the six month period ended June 30, 2021 is compared with the same period in 2020. This expense category includes employee salaries, payroll taxes, insurance and fringe benefits, ESOP contribution accruals, the service component of net periodic pension cost, and salary continuation expenses. The service component of net periodic pension cost increased $248 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared.
Occupancy, furniture and fixtures expense decreased $15 when the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared, and increased $23 when the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared.
Data processing and ATM expense decreased $20 and $33 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are compared with the same periods in 2020.
Federal Deposit Insurance (“FDIC”) assessment expense increased $53 and $136 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are compared with the same periods of 2020. The FDIC assessment is accrued based on a method provided by the FDIC. The calculation is based on average assets divided by average tangible equity and incorporates risk-based factors to determine the amount of the assessment. During the third quarter of 2019, the FDIC notified the Bank that it was eligible to use small bank assessment credits. The credits fully offset the Bank’s September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 assessment payments, and partially offset the June 30, 2020 assessment.
Net costs of OREO increased $5 and $20 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are compared with the same periods in 2020. The cost of OREO includes maintenance costs as well as valuation write-downs and gains and losses on the sale of properties. The expense varies with the number of properties, the maintenance required and changes in the real estate market. OREO properties are accounted for at fair value less cost to sell upon foreclosure and are thereafter periodically appraised to determine market value. Declines in market value are recognized through valuation expense.
Franchise tax expense increased $22 when the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared. Franchise tax expense increased $14 when the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are compared. Franchise tax is primarily based on capital levels of the subsidiary bank, and is also affected by investment levels in securities issued by U.S. government agencies.
The category of other operating expenses includes noninterest expense items such as professional services, stationery and supplies, telephone costs, postage, charitable donations, losses and other expenses. Other operating expense decreased $129 and $208 when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in other operating expense stemmed primarily from a lower non-service pension cost and cost control measures.
Income Tax
Income tax expense was $940 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $486 for the same period of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, income tax expense was $1,949 and $1,288 respectively. The Company’s federal statutory tax rate is 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate was 16.93% and 17.21% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, compared with 14.01% and 15.61% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020.

Securities
Securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Market conditions at June 30, 2021 are reflected in the presentation of securities available for sale. While we do not expect significant changes in future judgements or methodologies used to determine the fair value of the securities portfolio, market volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, or any future national or global concern, will impact the value of securities. Management regularly monitors the quality of the securities portfolio and closely follows the uncertainty in the economy and the volatility of financial markets. The value of individual securities will be written down if the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary based upon the totality of circumstances. See Note 4: Securities for additional information.

Total deposits increased $152,481 or 11.76% from $1,297,143 at December 31, 2020 to $1,449,624 at June 30, 2021. The increase is due in large part to government stimulus funds received by municipal depositors and other depositors. Deposits do not include any brokered deposits.
Liquidity
Liquidity measures the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments at a reasonable cost. Demands on the Company’s liquidity include funding additional loan demand and accepting withdrawals of existing deposits. The Company has diverse liquidity sources, including customer and purchased deposits, customer repayments of loan principal and interest, sales, calls and maturities of securities, Federal Reserve discount window borrowing, short-term borrowing, and FHLB advances. At June 30, 2021, the Bank did not have discount window borrowings, short-term borrowings, or FHLB advances. To assure that short-term borrowing is readily available, the Company tests accessibility annually.
The Company considers its security portfolio for typical liquidity needs, within accounting, legal and strategic parameters. Portions of the securities portfolio are pledged to meet state requirements for public funds deposits. Discount window borrowings also require pledged securities. Increased/decreased liquidity from public funds deposits or discount window borrowings results in increased/decreased liquidity from pledging requirements. The Company monitors public funds pledging requirements and unpledged available-for-sale securities accessible for liquidity needs.
Regulatory capital levels at the subsidiary bank determine the Bank’s ability to use purchased deposits and the Federal Reserve discount window. At June 30, 2021, the Bank is considered well capitalized and does not have any restrictions on purchased deposits or borrowing ability at the Federal Reserve discount window.
The Company monitors factors that may increase its liquidity needs. Some of these factors include deposit trends, large depositor activity, maturing deposit promotions, interest rate sensitivity, maturity and repricing timing gaps between assets and liabilities, the level of unfunded loan commitments, loan growth and share repurchase activity within the Company’s own stock. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet projected trends in these areas.
To monitor and estimate liquidity levels, the Company performs stress testing under varying assumptions on credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows. The Company’s Contingency Funding Plan sets forth avenues for rectifying liquidity shortfalls. At June 30, 2021, the analysis indicated adequate liquidity under the tested scenarios.
The Company utilizes several other strategies to maintain sufficient liquidity. Loan and deposit growth are managed to keep the loan to deposit ratio within the Company’s own target range of 65% to 75%. At June 30, 2021, the loan to deposit ratio was 55.55%. The investment strategy takes into consideration the term of the investment, and securities in the available for sale portfolio are laddered based upon projected funding needs.
The Company’s liquidity position was strong prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and has increased due to government stimulus payments received by depositors. Further, securities with an amortized cost of $1,289 will mature within one year or less, and up to $116,909 may be called. The Company continues to monitor liquidity as the impact of the pandemic evolves.
Capital Resources
Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2021 was $191,235, a decrease of $9,372 or 4.67%, from the $200,607 at December 31, 2020. Shareholders equity was impacted by payment of $4,319 in dividends and $9,354 in share repurchases. The Company repurchased 261,962 shares under a program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 13, 2020 for up to 1,000,000 shares. On May 12, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The authorization began June 1, 2021 and expires May 31, 2022.
The Company’s subsidiary bank is subject to various capital requirements administered by banking agencies. Risk based capital ratios for the Bank are shown in the following tables.

Risk-based capital ratios are calculated in compliance with FDIC rules based on Basel III capital requirements. Banks are subject to an additional capital conservation buffer in order to make capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments. The Bank’s ratios are well above the required minimums and the capital conservation buffer at June 30, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, NBB extends lines of credit and letters of credit to its customers. Depending on their needs, customers may draw upon lines of credit at any time in any amount up to a pre-approved limit. Standby letters of credit are issued for two purposes. Financial letters of credit guarantee payments to facilitate customer purchases. Performance letters of credit guarantee payment if the customer fails to complete a specific obligation.
Historically, the full approved amount of letters and lines of credit has not been drawn at any one time. The Company has developed plans to meet a sudden and substantial funding demand. These plans include accessing a line of credit with a correspondent bank, borrowing from the FHLB, selling available for sale investments or loans and raising additional deposits.
The Company sells mortgages on the secondary market. Our agreement with the purchaser provides for strict underwriting and documentation requirements. Violation of the representations and warranties of the agreement would entitle the purchaser to recourse provisions. The Company has determined that its risk in this area is not significant because of a low volume of secondary market mortgage loans and high underwriting standards. The Company estimates a potential loss reserve for recourse provisions that is not material as of June 30, 2021. To date, no recourse provisions have been invoked. If funds were needed, the Company would access the same sources as noted above for funding lines and letters of credit.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk and has systems in place to measure the exposure of net interest income to adverse movement in interest rates. Interest rate shock analyses provide management with an indication of potential economic loss due to future rate changes. There have not been any changes which would significantly alter the results disclosed as of December 31, 2020 in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.
Controls and Procedures |
The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, the Company believes that no system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.
