NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

New Peoples Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of a community bank, New Peoples Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”). The Bank was organized and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a state-chartered member bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank provides general banking services to individuals, small and medium size businesses and the professional community of southwestern Virginia, southern West Virginia, and eastern Tennessee. Services include commercial and consumer loans along with traditional deposit products such as checking and savings accounts.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:

These consolidated financial statements conform to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general industry practices. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the determination of the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance are based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.

NOTE 3 EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued related to outstanding common stock warrants are determined by the Treasury method. There were no dilutive potential common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Basic and diluted net income per common share calculations follow:

(Amounts in Thousands, Except		For the three months				For the six months

NOTE 4 CAPITAL:

Capital Requirements and Ratios

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1250%. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio.

The Company meets eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement issued in February 2015, and is no longer obligated to report consolidated regulatory capital. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These ratios comply with Federal Reserve rules to align with the Basel III Capital requirements effective January 1, 2015.

							Minimum to Be Well
							Capitalized Under
							Prompt Corrective
		Actual		Minimum Capital Requirement			Action Provisions
(Dollars are in thousands)		Amount	Ratio	Amount		Ratio	Amount		Ratio
June 30, 2019:
Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.	$	70,635	14.70%	$	38,453	8.0%	$	48,066	10.0%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.		65,447	13.62%		28,840	6.0%		38,453	8.0%
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets:

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.		65,447	13.62%		21,630	4.5%		31,243	6.5%
December 31, 2018:
Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.	$	70,002	14.39%	$	38,912	8.0%	$	48,640	10.0%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.		64,666	13.29%		29,184	6.0%		38,912	8.0%
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.		64,666	9.59%		26,960	4.0%		33,700	5.0%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
to Risk Weighted Assets:
New Peoples Bank, Inc.		64,666	13.29%		21,888	4.5%		31,616	6.5%

As of June 30, 2019, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage, and Common Equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the above tables. There were no subsequent conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Under Basel III Capital requirements, a capital conservation buffer of 0.625% became effective beginning on January 1, 2016. The capital conservation buffer was gradually increased through January 1, 2019 to 2.50%. Banks are now required to maintain levels that meet the required minimum plus the capital conservation buffer in order to make distributions, such as dividends, or discretionary bonus payments. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer is 6.70% as of June 30, 2019.

At June 30, 2019, there were 119 securities in a loss position, of which 114 have been in a loss position for twelve months or more. Management believes that all unrealized losses have resulted from temporary changes in the interest rates and current market conditions and not as a result of credit deterioration. Management does not intend to sell, and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell any of the securities referenced in the table above before recovery of their amortized cost.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $7.6 million and $8.0 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law.

There were no sales of investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown in the following schedule. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company categorizes loans receivable into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans receivable as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans in this category are considered to have a low likelihood of loss based on relevant information analyzed about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt and other factors.

Special Mention - Loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak, including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality or financial strength. Those loans constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances. Special mention loans have potential weaknesses which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk categories of loans receivable was as follows:

In determining the amount of our allowance, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions, as well as any regulatory input. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and we may experience significant increases to our provision.

NOTE 8 TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS:

At June 30, 2019 there were $4.1 million in loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2018. All loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings are individually evaluated for impairment as part of the allowance for loan losses calculation. The following table presents information related to loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company modified one loan for which the modification was considered to be a troubled debt restructuring. This loan is secured by farmland and the modification is related to a court-ordered payment plan. No modified loans were considered to be troubled debt restructurings during the first three months of 2019.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company modified no loans for which the modification was considered to be a troubled debt restructuring.

No loans modified as a troubled debt restructurings defaulted during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. Generally, a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be in default once it becomes 90 days or more past due following a modification.

In determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in these restructurings in its estimate. The Company evaluates all troubled debt restructurings for possible further impairment. As a result, the allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or charge-offs may be taken to further write down the carrying value of the loan.

NOTE 10 FAIR VALUES:

The financial reporting standard, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans and other real estate acquired through foreclosure).

Fair value is 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. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an exchange market, as well as U. S. Treasury, other U. S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale – Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, or by dealers or brokers in active over-the counter markets. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Loans - The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Real estate serves as collateral on a substantial majority of the Company’s loans. When a loan is considered impaired a specific reserve may be established. Loans which are deemed to be impaired and require a reserve are primarily valued on a non-recurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which management evaluates and determines whether or not the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, or whether or not an appraised value does not include estimated costs of disposition. The Company records impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3 assets.

Other Real Estate Owned – Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. OREO is carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent observable market prices or appraised values of the collateral with a third party less an estimate of disposition costs, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs. When the appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral to be further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records OREO as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows (for purpose of this table the impaired loans are shown net of the related allowance). There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

The following summary presents the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments presented below. The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.

The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the estimates.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data, as generally provided in the Company’s regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The Company’s fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments.

The carrying values of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, deposits with no stated maturities, and accrued interest approximates fair value and are excluded from the table above.

In accordance with our adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 2018, the methods utilized to measure the fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represent an approximation of exit price; however, an actual exit price may differ.

NOTE 11 SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS:

In anticipation of certain sale and leaseback transactions, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) in 2017. This ASU revised certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. As a result of this transaction the Company recognized initial right-to-use assets – operating leases of approximately $5.3 million, along with corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $5.3 million. The $5.3 million was determined by calculating the present value of the annual cash lease payments using a discount rate of 3.25%. The 3.25% discount rate was determined to be the 15-year incremental borrowing rate as of May 31, 2017.

The Company’s other operating leases were evaluated and determined to be immaterial to the financial statements. At June 30, 2019, future minimum rental commitments under the non-cancellable operating leases discussed above are as follows (dollars are in thousands):

2019	$	221

NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

A group of classified and underperforming loans, with outstanding contractual balances of $5.1 million, were under agreement to be sold in June 2019 with settlement effective July 3, 2019. These loans are shown in Loans held for sale on the face of the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, at a fair value of $4.4 million. Included in these loans were nonaccrual loans totaling $2.8 million.

On July 30, 2019 the bank entered into an agreement, with an unrelated third party, to sell the land and building housing the branch site in Lebanon Virginia. This transaction is expected to close prior to August 31, 2019 with the bank providing financing to the purchaser. At closing the bank will execute a 15 year lease agreement to maintain its current operations at this site. This transaction is expected to result in a gain of approximately $790 thousand. In addition, the lease transaction will result in the recognition of a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation liability of approximately $1.2 million, each.

Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and no other subsequent events occurred requiring accrual or disclosure.

NOTE 15 RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS:

The following is a summary of recent authoritative announcements:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to change the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018. The amendment does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, such as loans and investment securities available for sale, and therefore had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Information related to revenue from contracts with customers is summarized at Note 12.

In January 2016, per Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments became effective on January 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on the financial statements. As discussed in Note 10, the Company measured the fair value of its loan portfolio using an exit price notion as of June 30, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB amended the Leases topic of the ASC to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. The amendments became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As discussed in Note 11, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).

In March 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers topic of the ASC to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018. The Company completed an assessment of revenue streams and a review of related contracts potentially affected by the ASU and, based on this assessment, the Company concluded that the ASU did not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. As such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary.

In June 2016, per ASU No. 2016-13 ‘Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),’ the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all organizations for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. On July 17, 2019, the FASB voted to issue a proposal which would extend the effective date for implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 ‘Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)’ for small public lenders, among other entities, which would extend the effective date for the Company by three years to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Although this proposal has not yet been issued and also must undergo a comment period before finalization, it is widely expected that this extension will be granted. Should this proposal be adopted management expects to take advantage of the extension in order to better assess the impact of the implementation by others.

In December 2016, the FASB issued technical corrections and improvements to the Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic. These corrections make a limited number of revisions to several pieces of the revenue recognition standard issued in 2014. The amendment became effective on January 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB updated the Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and the Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures Topics of the ASC. The ASU incorporates into the ASC recent SEC guidance about disclosing, under SEC SAB Topic 11.M, the effect on financial statements of adopting the revenue, leases, and credit losses standards. The ASU was effective upon issuance. The Company has assessed the impact on additional disclosure requirements for each of the standards and determined them to not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2017, the FASB amended the Other Income Topic of the ASC to clarify the scope of the guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments conform the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard. The amendment became effective on January 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In September 2017, the FASB updated the Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the Leases Topics of the ASC. The amendments incorporate into the ASC recent SEC guidance about certain public business entities (PBEs) electing to use the non-PBE effective dates solely to adopt the FASB’s new standards on revenue and leases. The amendments were effective upon issuance. The Company has assessed the impact of adoption of this guidance, and determined it does not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2017, the FASB updated the Income Statement and Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topics of the ASC. The amendments incorporate into the ASC recent SEC guidance related to revenue recognition. The amendments were effective upon issuance and did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB Issued (ASU 2018-02), Income Statement (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires Companies to reclassify the stranded effects in other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a result of the change in the tax rates under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company early adopted this pronouncement by retrospective application to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The impact of the reclassification from other comprehensive income to retained earnings was $98 thousand as of December 31, 2018.

In February 2018, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments Topic of the ASC. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. The amendments were effective for the third quarter of 2018 subsequent to adopting the amendments in ASU 2016-01. All entities were able to early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they had adopted ASU 2016-01. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB updated the Debt Securities and the Regulated Operations Topics of the ASC. The amendments incorporate into the ASC recent SEC guidance which was issued in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The amendments were effective upon issuance. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB updated the Income Taxes Topic of the ASC. The amendments incorporate into the ASC recent SEC guidance related to the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments were effective upon issuance. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2018, the FASB amended the Financial Services—Depository and Lending Topic of the ASC to remove outdated guidance related to Circular 202. The amendments were effective upon issuance and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB amended the Leases Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to make narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new standard. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. As discussed in Note 17, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain fair value disclosure requirements based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB amended the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to expand the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting. The amendments were effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB amended the Consolidation topic of the Accounting Standards Codification for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The amendments require organizations to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply a full retrospective approach in which financial statements for each individual prior period presented and the opening balances of the earliest period presented are adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the amendments. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB amended the Collaborative Arrangements Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the interaction between the guidance for certain collaborative arrangements and the new revenue recognition financial accounting and reporting standard. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued guidance to amend the Financial Instruments—Credit Losses topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The guidance aligns the implementation date of the topic for annual financial statements of nonpublic companies with the implementation date for their interim financial statements. The guidance also clarifies that

receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the topic, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leases topic. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all organizations for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In December 2018, the FASB issued guidance providing narrow-scope improvements for lessors, that provides relief in the accounting for sales, use and similar taxes, the accounting for other costs paid by a lessee that may benefit a lessor, and variable payments when contracts have lease and non-lease components. The amendments were effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2019, as part of the FASB’s ongoing annual improvements project, it amended the Leases Topic of the ASC to clarify the Codification more generally and/or to correct unintended application of guidance. The amendments relate to determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, presentation on the statement of cash flows – sales-type and direct financing leases, and transition disclosures related to the Accounting Changes and Error Corrections Topic. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In April 2019, as part of the FASB’s ongoing annual improvements project, it amended various Topics of the ASC related to financial instruments to clarify the Codification more generally and/or to correct unintended application of guidance. The amendments relate to Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued targeted transition relief for entities which irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the amendments to the transition guidance for ASU No. 2016-13 will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Caution About Forward Looking Statements

We make forward looking statements in this quarterly report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, business strategy, and financial and other goals. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward looking statements.

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements contain the Company’s expectations, plans, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar importance. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

For discussion of our significant accounting policies see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Our most critical accounting policies relate to our provision for loan losses and the calculation of our deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance.

The provision for loan losses reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to further deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our estimates would be updated, and additional provisions could be required.

Our deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. If all or a portion of the net deferred tax asset is determined to be unlikely to be realized in the foreseeable future, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the net deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For further discussion of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, we refer you to the section on “Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes” below.

Overview and Highlights

The Company had net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $751 thousand, or basic net income per share of $0.03, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 whereby the Company had net income of $31 thousand, or $0.00 basic net income per share.

The Company had net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 of $345 thousand, or basic net income per share of $0.01, as compared to a net loss of $49 thousand, or a basic net loss per share of $0.00, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Total assets increased $19.8 million to $702.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $682.1 million at December 31, 2018.

Highlights as of and for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 include:

Deposit balances increased in excess of $23 million, which allowed reductions in borrowings, supported loan growth and increased cash available to support additional loan growth.

Loan balances increased approximately $8 million, after the transfer of $4.4 million in nonperforming and underperforming loans to held for sale at quarter end, pending the settlement of their sale.

Asset quality continues to improve, including reduced OREO balances, fewer charge-offs and an improved ratio of nonperforming assets, as compared to December 31, 2018 and years prior.

All income statement lines continue to trend in a positive direction – net interest income is higher, non-interest income is higher and non-interest expense is lower.

Net interest income improved, even as cost of funds increased, due to increased balances of loans and cash earning interest in other banks.

Comparison of the Six Months ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2018

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $751 thousand, which was an increase of $721 thousand, or 24 times better than the same period in 2018. Interest income increased $1.4 million, or 10.1%, to $15.4 million for the first six months of 2019 compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2018. The primary driver of this improvement was interest income on loans, which increased $1.2 million, or 8.9%, to $14.1 million for the first six months of 2019 from $12.9 million for the same period in 2018. Increased average loans provided the majority of the increase in interest income on loans. Deposits with other banks also provided an additional $314 thousand of interest income due to a combination of an increase in average balance and the interest rates paid. The increase in total interest income was also supported by an increase in the annualized yield earned on interest-earning assets, which improved to 4.72% for the first six months of 2019 compared to 4.64% for the first six months of 2018.

Although interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 56.9%, to $3.0 million for the first six months of 2019 from $1.9 million for the first six months of 2018, net interest income still increased because increases in interest income mitigated this increase in interest expense. The primary driver of this increased interest expense is higher interest rates on time deposits and money market accounts, which also contributed to an increase in the annualized cost of funds to 0.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 0.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

We recognized provision for loan losses of $270 thousand during the first six months of 2019, compared to $126 thousand for the first half of 2018. Provisions are recognized to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that we deem appropriate to absorb any potential future losses and known impairments within the loan portfolio, whether or not the losses are actually ever realized.

Noninterest income increased $125 thousand to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.6 million in the first half of 2018. Increased card processing and interchange income of $87 thousand was the primary driver. Insurance and investment fees also contributed an additional $70 thousand due to increased expansion efforts for our financial services operations.

Noninterest expense decreased $622 thousand, or 4.0%, to $14.9 million for the first half of 2019 from $15.5 million for the same period in 2018. Increases in salaries and employee benefits of $162 thousand were offset mainly by a decrease of $312 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense and a decrease of $430 thousand in other operating expense. The decrease in other operating expense is primarily attributable to a non-recurring expense of $220 thousand in the first half of 2018 related to the write-off of previously capitalized costs advanced for insurance and other collection charges related to previously charged-off loans and loan resolutions that was not repeated in 2019. During the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, costs for fees related to facilitating sales of loans totaling $158 thousand and $61 thousand, respectively, were recorded.

Our efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure which is defined as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, improved to 92.4% for the first half of 2019 compared to 99.1% for the first six months of 2018.

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2018

The Company’s primary source of income is net interest income, which increased $304 thousand to $6.3 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $6.0 million during the second quarter of 2018, even as the net interest margin decreased to 3.83% from 3.92%. While interest income increased $777 thousand, or 11.1%, interest expense increased only $474 thousand, or 46.7%. Although the yield on earning assets increased by 16 basis points to 4.74% from 4.58%, the cost of funding increased 25 basis points to 0.91% from 0.66%, resulting in the lower net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses increased $72 thousand, or 114.3%, to $135 thousand for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $63 thousand for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in the provision was driven mainly by a large charge-off of one commercial loan relationship.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $2.0 million, an increase of $98 thousand, or 5.2%, when compared to the same period in 2018. This increase was driven primarily by a non-recurring loss on asset sales of $80 thousand which occurred in 2018 and was recognized as a reduction to other non-interest income.

Noninterest expense decreased $211 thousand, or 2.7%, to $7.7 million during the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. Increases in salaries and benefits expenses of $160 thousand were more than offset by reductions of $109 thousand in other operating expenses and a reduction of $169 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense. The main driver of the reduction in other operating expense is a non-recurring expense of $220 thousand in the second quarter of 2018 related to charged-off loans and loan resolutions discussed above. The lower occupancy and equipment expenses is due to reduced depreciation, as certain older assets reach the end of their depreciable life, combined with efforts to control repairs and maintenance costs, as well as, renegotiating existing contracts at lower costs. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased to $3.8 million from $3.7 million, due to the combined effect of a change in group insurance programs which resulted in run-on costs for the predecessor plan exceeding the estimated accrual. Additionally deferred costs for loan originations decreased due to a decrease in the number of loan closings in the comparative quarters ended.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, improved to 93.1% for the second quarter of 2019 from 100.6% for the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increases in net interest income and non-interest income discussed above. Plans we implemented in the latter half of 2018 have also reduced operating costs and improved the efficiency ratio.

We expect further improvements in operating expenses of approximately $988 thousand over the next five years as a result of renegotiated contracts for data transmission and telecommunication costs.

Additionally, we are currently assessing the efficiency of some of our backroom operations in order to reduce some redundancies and improve the usage of various software technologies. While this process may result in the reduction of staff, we expect a number of any affected employees may transition to positions within the bank that are currently open.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $19.8 million, or 2.9%, to $702.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $682.1 million at December 31, 2018. Increases in interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $14.0 million and increases in loans and loans held for sale of $8.5 million were funded primarily by increases in deposits of $23.3 million. Total assets are expected to continue growing due to our plan to conservatively and prudently grow the loan portfolio. Deposit growth for the first six months was impacted by cyclical increases in non-interest-bearing deposits, related to the timing of certain recurring payroll and social security deposits. The impact of the timing of the recurring deposits is approximately $8 million. Additionally, interest-bearing deposits included approximately $19 million of funds deposited by a related party early in 2019. This deposit is considered to be temporary.

Total investments decreased $3.0 million, or 5.1%, to $56.4 million at June 30, 2019 from $59.4 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to principal paydowns of $5.0 million, offset by purchases of $790 thousand and unrealized gains of $1.2 million. There were no sales of investments during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.

Loans held for sale is a new line on the balance sheet. It is mainly comprised of $4.4 million of classified and underperforming loans which were transferred from the loan portfolio when a sales agreement was executed in June and settled July 3, 2019. As a result of the transfer and execution of the sales agreement, a net recovery of $56 thousand was recorded to the allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale also includes $128 thousand of loans related to the secondary mortgage loan program, which are now being originated in the Bank’s name. Prior to the second quarter of 2019, secondary mortgage program loans were originated and funded by the purchaser.

Loans receivable increased $4.0 million, or 0.7%, to $551.1 million at June 30, 2019 as compared to $547.1 million at December 31, 2018, even after the loan sale mentioned above. We believe our focus on developing new and existing lending relationships should continue to grow the loan portfolio, subject to the economy and heightened competition in our markets. While loan demand has lessened somewhat from that experienced in the past two years, we continue to see opportunities to provide credit at reasonable terms. At June 30, 2019 approximately $19 million in new loans were in the pipeline. Through July 31, 2019 approximately $8.2 million of these loans have closed.

Total deposits increased $23.3 million, or 3.9%, to $619.3 million at June 30, 2019 from $596.0 million at December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $9.4 million, or 5.7%. Interest-bearing deposits increased $13.9 million, or 3.2%, driven by increases in nearly every type of retail account, with the exception of certain time deposit maturities which we chose not to replace at higher rates. This allowed us to reduce wholesale deposits, FHLB advances and federal funds purchased by $2.8 million, $2.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, during the first half of this year. Due to competitive pressures and the upward pressure on interest rates during the first five months of the year, we saw increases in the interest we pay on deposits in 2019. More recent financial and economic events resulted in a lowering the federal funds rate at the beginning of August. While pressure to lower interest rates may continue for the foreseeable future, it is not certain that this will result in a systemic lowering of rates paid on deposit products if competition remains to attract and retain deposits to support future loan growth. Overall, we continue to maintain core deposits through attractive consumer and commercial deposit products and strong ties with our customer base and communities.

Trust Preferred Securities of $16.5 million at June 30, 2019, were unchanged compared to December 31, 2018.

Borrowed funds from the FHLB were reduced to $5.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $7.0 million at December 31, 2018 as we chose not to replace one of our two advances. The following table presents the FHLB advances:

		Maturity				June 30,		December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)		Date		Rate		2019		2018
Fixed Rate Hybrid	6/28/2019		0.99%			-		2,000
Fixed Rate Hybrid	6/30/2021		1.34%			5,000		5,000
Total					$	5,000	$	7,000

Total equity at June 30, 2019 was $53.2 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 3.8%, compared to $51.3 million at December 31, 2018. Net income of $751 thousand and comprehensive income of $1.2 million drove this increase.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets declined $2.7 million during the first half of 2019. Other real estate owned (OREO) balances decreased by $1.9 million and nonaccruing loans decreased by $827 thousand. The decrease in nonaccrual loans includes the impact of $2.8 million included in the accounts transferred to held for sale. During the first quarter of 2019 nonaccrual loans increased approximately $3.6 million due largely to a single commercial loan relationship. This borrower ceased business operations during the first quarter and we oversaw the liquidation of a portion of the collateral, resulting in a charge to the allowance for loan losses of $476 thousand during the second quarter of the year. We are negotiating for the orderly liquidation of the remaining collateral. This relationship has a remaining exposure of approximately $1 million at June 30, 2019. As a result, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 1.01% at June 30, 2019, compared to 1.16% at December 31, 2018.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned and loans past due more than 90 days which are still accruing interest. Our policy is to place loans on nonaccruing status once they reach 90 days past due. The makeup of the nonaccruing loans is primarily those secured by residential mortgages, commercial businesses and farmland, in that order. Other real estate owned is primarily made up of commercial and single family residential properties. We continue extensive and aggressive measures to work through problem credits and liquidate foreclosed properties in an effort to reduce nonperforming assets. We are mindful of the impact on earnings and capital as we work to achieve our goal to

reduce nonperforming assets. However, we may recognize some losses and reductions in the allowance for loan loss as we expedite the resolution of these problem assets.

Nonperforming assets consisted of the following:
		June 30,		December 31,
		2019		2018
Nonaccrual loans	$	5,542	$	6,369
Loans past due more than 90 days, still accruing		-		-
Nonperforming loans		5,542		6,369
Other real estate owned		4,024		5,937
Nonperforming assets	$	9,566	$	12,306
Nonperforming loans/Total loans at period end		1.01%		1.16%
Nonperforming assets/Total assets at period end		1.36%		1.80%

All OREO properties are available for sale by commercial and residential realtors under the direction of our Special Assets division. During the first six months of 2019, $53 thousand of other real estate owned was acquired as a result of settlement of foreclosed loans. Foreclosed real estate sales for the first six months of 2019 totaled $1.7 million, resulting in a net loss of $39 thousand. In an effort to reduce our level of foreclosed properties, we maintain the aggressive approach toward liquidating properties, exhibited over the past, by making pricing adjustments to expedite sales. This includes valuation adjustments of $214 thousand recorded thus far in 2019. As we continue these efforts, additional losses could occur, while reducing future carrying costs. We do have lease agreements on certain OREO properties which are generating rental income at market rates. Rental income on OREO properties was $38 thousand for the first six months of 2019 compared to $109 thousand for the first six months of 2018. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a vacancy at a commercial property as the site was being prepared for sale, combined with a general decrease in properties owned. The sale of the commercial property was not consummated, and efforts continue to sell this and other foreclosed properties.

Loans rated substandard were $6.9 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $378 thousand from $7.3 million at December 31, 2018. Total past due loans increased from $6.8 million at December 31, 2018, to $10.0 million at June 30, 2019, due largely to the commercial credit discussed, previously.

Our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019 was $5.2 million or 0.94% of total loans as compared to $5.3 million, or 0.98% of total loans at December 31, 2018. Impaired loans decreased $1.2 million, or 15.4%, to $6.7 million with an estimated related specific allowance of $808 thousand for potential losses at June 30, 2019 as compared to $8.0 million in impaired loans with an estimated related allowance of $318 thousand at the end of 2018. A provision of $270 thousand was recognized for the first half of 2019 and $126 thousand for the first half of 2018. In the first six months of 2019, net charge-offs were $418 thousand, or 0.15% of average loans, as compared to $1 million, or 0.20% of average loans for the same period of 2018. The allowance for loan losses is being maintained at a level that management deems appropriate to absorb any potential future losses and known impairments within the loan portfolio, whether or not the losses are actually ever realized. We continue to adjust the allowance for loan loss model to best reflect the risks in the portfolio and the improvements made in our internal policies and procedures; however, future provisions may be deemed necessary.

		June 30,		December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)		2019		2018
Specific allowance	$	808	$	318
General allowance		4,380		5,018

General allowance/Other loans		0.80%		0.93%
Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes

Due to timing differences between book and tax treatment of several income and expense items, a net deferred tax asset of $5.0 million and $5.5 million existed at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our income tax expense was

computed at the revised corporate income tax rate of 21% of taxable income for 2018 and 2019 due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) which became law on December 22, 2017. Income tax expense was previously calculated at 34% of taxable income. We do not have significant nontaxable income or nondeductible expenses.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 was $53.2 million compared to $51.3 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase includes unrealized gains of $1.2 million related to the available-for-sale investment portfolio, net of tax, plus net income of $752 thousand for the six-month period.

The Bank’s capital ratios along with the minimum regulatory thresholds to be considered well-capitalized are presented in the following table:

	Well-Capitalized
	Regulatory		June 30,		December 31,
	Threshold		2019		2018
Tier 1 leverage	5.00%	9.25%		9.59%
Common equity Tier 1	6.50%	13.62%		13.29%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	8.00%	13.62%		13.29%
Total risk-based capital	10.00%	14.70%		14.39%

At June 30, 2019, the Bank remains well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The ratios mentioned above for the Bank comply with the Federal Reserve rules to align with the Basel III Capital requirements effective January 1, 2015. As a result of these new rules the Company and Bank are now subject to a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio set out above.

The tangible book value per common share was $2.23 at June 30, 2019 compared to $2.19 at December 31, 2018. Other key performance indicators are as follows:

	Three months ended June 30			Six months ended June 30
	2019	2018		2019	2018
Return on average assets¹	0.19%	-0.03%	0.21%		0.01%
Return on average equity¹	2.65%	-0.39%	2.93%		0.12%
Average equity to average assets	7.33%	7.40%	7.28%		7.49%

Annualized

Total assets increased during the first six months of 2019 and we anticipate asset levels to increase in the future due to an emphasis on growing the loan portfolio and the core deposit base of the Bank. Under current economic conditions, we believe it is prudent to continue to increase capital to support planned asset growth while being able to absorb potential losses that may occur if asset quality deteriorates further. Based upon projections, we believe our current capital levels will be sufficient to support the Bank’s planned asset growth.

No cash dividends have been paid historically and we do not anticipate paying a cash dividend in the foreseeable future as the Company continues to have a retained deficit. Earnings will continue to be retained to build capital and position the Company to pay a dividend to its shareholders as soon as practicable.

Liquidity

We closely monitor our liquidity and our liquid assets in the form of cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and unpledged available for sale investments. Collectively, those balances were $94.4 million at June 30, 2019, an increase

from $79.5 million at December 31, 2018. A surplus of short-term assets is maintained at levels management deems adequate to meet potential liquidity needs during 2019.

At June 30, 2019, all of our investments were classified as available-for-sale. These investments provide a source of liquidity in the amount of $48.8 million, which is net of the $7.6 million of securities pledged as collateral. Investment securities available for sale serve as a source of liquidity while yielding a higher return versus other short-term investment options, such as federal funds sold and overnight deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank.

Our loan to deposit ratio was 89.0% at June 30, 2019 and 91.80% at December 31, 2018. We anticipate this ratio to remain at or below 90% for the foreseeable future.

Available third-party sources of liquidity at June 30, 2019 include the following: a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, access to brokered certificates of deposit markets and internet certificates of deposit, and the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We also have the ability to borrow $20.0 million in secured and unsecured federal funds through credit facilities extended by correspondent banks.

The Bank’s total line of credit with the FHLB is $180.2 million, with unused availability at June 30, 2019 of $158.2 million. Advances outstanding at June 30, 2019 were $5.0 million and the line also secures letters of credit totaling $17.0 million. The line is secured by a blanket lien on our residential real estate loans which amounted to $144.0 million at June 30, 2019.

The Bank also has access to the brokered deposits market and the Certificate of Deposit Registry Service (“CDARS”). At June 30, 2019, we held no brokered deposits and $10.8 million in CDARS reciprocal time deposits.

The Bank is also a member of an internet certificate of deposit network whereby we may purchase funds from other financial institutions at auction. We may invest funds through this network as well. Currently, we only intend to use this source of liquidity in a liquidity crisis event.

Additional liquidity is available through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight funding needs. We may collateralize this line with investment securities and loans at our discretion; however, we do not anticipate using this funding source except as a last resort.

With the on-balance sheet liquidity and other external sources of funding, we believe the Bank has adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our requirements and needs for the foreseeable future. However, liquidity can be further affected by a number of factors such as counterparty willingness or ability to extend credit, regulatory actions and customer preferences, etc., some of which are beyond our control.

The bank holding company has approximately $252 thousand in cash on deposit at the Bank as of June 30, 2019. These funds will be used to pay operating expenses, trust preferred interest payments, and provide additional capital injections to the Bank, if needed. The Company is making quarterly interest payments on the trust preferred securities. During the first six months of 2019, the bank paid $385,000 in cash dividends to the holding company.
