UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and accompanying notes are presented on a consolidated basis including Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Uwharrie Bank (the “Bank”), Uwharrie Investment Advisors, Inc. (“UIA”), and Uwharrie Mortgage, Inc. The Bank consolidates its subsidiaries, the Strategic Alliance Corporation, BOS Agency, Inc. and Gateway Mortgage, Inc., each of which is wholly-owned by the Bank.

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of interim periods, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. Management is not aware of economic events, outside influences or changes in concentrations of business that would require additional clarification or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Accounting Changes, Reclassifications and Restatements

Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. ASU 2014-09. “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” was adopted as of January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 requires us to report network costs associated with debit card and credit card transactions netted against the related fees from such transactions. Previously, such network costs were reported as a component of other non-interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, gross interchange and card transaction fees totaled $379,000 while related network costs totaled $237,000. On a net basis, we reported $142,000 as interchange and card transaction fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we reported interchange and card transaction fees totaling $383,000 on a gross basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income while related network costs totaling $247,000 were reported as a component of other non-interest expense. 2017 was reclassed in 2018 to report net $136,000 in interchange and card transaction fees.

Under ASU 2014-09, for revenue not associated with financial instruments, guarantees and lease contracts, we apply the following steps when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature, typically due within one year or less or cancellable by us or our customer upon a short notice period. Performance obligations for our customer contracts are generally satisfied at a single point in time, typically when the transaction is complete, or over time. For performance obligations satisfied over time, we primarily use the output method, directly measuring the value of the products/services transferred to the customer, to determine when performance obligations have been satisfied. We typically receive payment from customers and recognize revenue concurrent with the satisfaction of our performance obligations. In most cases, this occurs within a single financial reporting period. For payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as the performance obligations have been satisfied. In cases where we have not received payment despite satisfaction of our performance obligations, we accrue an estimate of the amount due in the period our performance obligations have been satisfied. For contracts with variable components, only amounts for which collection is probable are accrued. We generally act in a principal capacity, on our own behalf, in most of our contracts with customers. In such transactions, we recognize revenue and the related costs to provide our services on a gross basis in our financial statements. In some cases, we act in an agent capacity, deriving revenue through assisting other entities in transactions with our customers. In such transactions, we recognized revenue and the related costs to provide our services on a net basis in our financial statements. These transactions primarily relate to insurance and brokerage commissions and fees derived from our customers' use of various interchange and ATM/debit card/credit card networks.

Note 2 – Comprehensive Income

The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in shareholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, on investment securities available for sale.

The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

	Unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities (net)

Note 3 – Noncontrolling Interest

In January 2013, the Company’s subsidiary banks issued a total of $7.9 million of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B. The preferred stock qualified as Tier 1 capital at each bank and pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The preferred stock has no voting rights. This capital is presented as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. Dividends declared on this preferred stock are presented as earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of income. Effective September 1, 2013, the Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B was rolled into one issue under Uwharrie Bank in connection with the consolidation and name change.

During 2013, the Company’s subsidiary bank, Uwharrie Bank, raised $2.8 million of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the bank and pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The preferred stock has no voting rights.

Note 4 – Per Share Data

Basic and diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for stock dividends. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company. The Company had no stock options outstanding at March 31, 2018 but there were 13,116 shares of common stock at December 31, 2017. All of these options were dilutive at December 31, 2017 because the strike price was lower than the market price.

Basic and diluted net income per common share have been computed based upon net income available to common shareholders as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding.

-9-

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is summarized below:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		7,112,347		7,185,992

Effect of dilutive stock options		—		653

Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing diluted net income per common share		7,112,347		7,186,645

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company owned Federal Reserve Bank stock (FRB) reported at cost of $509,000 and $508,000, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock (FHLB) of $585,000 and $559,000, respectively. The investments in FRB stock and

-10-

FHLB stock are required investments related to the Company’s membership in, and borrowings with, these banks and classified as restricted stock on the consolidated balance sheet. These investments are carried at cost since there is no ready market and redemption has historically been made at par value. The Company estimated that the fair value approximated cost and that these investments were not impaired at March 31, 2018.

There were no sales of securities available for sale for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, securities available for sale with a carrying amount of $73.3 million and $75.5 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. These unrealized losses on investment securities are a result of temporary fluctuations in market prices due to a rise in interest rates, which will adjust if rates decline, and in a volatile market and are in no way a reflection of the credit quality of the investments. Management does not believe these fluctuations are a reflection of the quality of the investments. At March 31, 2018, the unrealized losses on available for sale securities less than twelve months related to four government agency bonds, five government sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgage backed securities, one state and political bond, and two corporate bonds. The Company had eleven government agency bonds, fourteen GSE mortgage backed securities, and seven corporate bonds at March 31, 2018, that had been in a loss position for more than twelve months.

Declines in the fair value of the investment portfolio are believed by management to be temporary in nature. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment management considers, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been in a loss position, the financial condition of the issuer and the intent and the ability of the Company to hold the investment until the loss position is recovered.

Any unrealized losses were largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time of purchase. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of quality but that the losses are temporary in nature. At March 31, 2018, the Company does not intend to sell and is not likely to be required to sell the available for sale securities that were in a loss position prior to full recovery.

The aggregate amortized cost and fair value of the available for sale securities portfolio at March 31, 2018 by remaining contractual maturity are as follows:

Once a loan becomes 90 days past due, the loan is automatically transferred to a nonaccrual status. The exception to this policy is credit card loans that remain in accruing status 90 days or more until they are paid current or charged off. Also, mortgage loans that were originated for sale but were not sold and are being held in the loan portfolio remain in an accruing status until they are foreclosed.

The Company had $545,000 in foreclosed residential real estate and $184,000 of residential real estate in process of foreclosure at March 31, 2018.

Management uses a risk-grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and to measure the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by the loan officers and reviewed and monitored by the lenders and credit administration. The program has eight risk grades summarized in five categories as follows:

Pass: Loans that are pass grade credits include loans that are fundamentally sound and risk factors are reasonable and acceptable. They generally conform to policy with only minor exceptions and any major exceptions are clearly mitigated by other economic factors.

Watch: Loans that are watch credits include loans on management’s watch list where a risk concern may be anticipated in the near future.

Substandard: Loans that are considered substandard are loans that are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged. All nonaccrual loans are graded as substandard.

Doubtful: Loans that are considered to be doubtful have all weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make the collection or liquidation in full on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans that are considered to be a loss are considered to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

The tables below summarize risk grades of the loan portfolio by class at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a loan is deemed impaired, a specific calculation is performed and a specific reserve is allocated, if necessary. The tables below summarize the loans deemed impaired and the amount of specific reserves allocated by class at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 8 – Troubled Debt Restructures

A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification involves providing a concession to the existing loan contract. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying loans to troubled borrowers, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Concessions offered are term extensions, capitalizing accrued interest, reducing interest rates to below current market rates or a combination of any of these. Combinations from time to time may include allowing a customer to be placed on interest-only payments. The presentations below in the “other” category are TDRs with a combination of concessions. At the time of a TDR, additional collateral or a guarantor may be requested.

Loans modified as TDRs are typically already on nonaccrual status and in some cases, partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. The Company classifies TDR loans as impaired loans and evaluates the need for an allowance for loan loss on a loan-by-loan basis. An allowance is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less any selling costs, if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had $4.6 million in TDRs outstanding, of which two were on a non-accruing basis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concessions made by loan class:

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, there were two TDRs for which there was a payment default. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, there was one TDR for which there was a payment default.

A default on a TDR is defined as being past due 90 days or being out of compliance with the modification agreement. As previously mentioned, the Company considers TDRs to be impaired loans and has $141,000 in the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2018, as a direct result of these TDRs. At March 31, 2017, there was $134,000 in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s subsidiary bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

The bank’s risk of loss with unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured.

At March 31, 2018, outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were approximately:

	(dollars in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	113,474
Credit card commitments		10,966
Standby letters of credit		985
Total commitments	$	125,425

Additionally, Uwharrie Bank has a five-year operating lease for commercial property. The term expires on September 30, 2021. The annual cost of the lease is $156,000 and includes a 2.625% annual escalator.

In first quarter 2018, Uwharrie Bank entered into a second lease for a branch. The lease has a ten-year term expiring in 2028 with two five-year renewal options. The annual cost of the lease is $189,000 and includes a 2.0% annual escalator.

Note 10 – Fair Value Disclosures

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation.

-20-

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which those assets or liabilities are sold and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities. Fair values determined using Level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on Level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities for which identical or similar assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets are based on Level 3 inputs, which are considered to be unobservable.

Among the Company’s assets and liabilities, investment securities available for sale are reported at their fair values on a recurring basis. Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including other real estate owned, impaired loans, loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market; loan servicing rights, where fair value is determined using similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions; and goodwill, which is periodically tested for impairment. Deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value.

Prices for US Treasury securities are readily available in the active markets in which those securities are traded, and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 1 input’ column. Prices for government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and for state, county and municipal securities are obtained for similar securities, and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 2 input’ column. Prices for all other non-marketable investments are determined based on various assumptions that are not observable. The fair values for these investment securities are shown in the ‘Level 3 input’ column. Non-marketable investment securities, which are carried at their purchase price, include those that may only be redeemed by the issuer. The changes in securities between Level 1 and Level 2 were related to the purchase and sale of several securities and not the transfer of securities.

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment by using one of several methods including collateral value, fair value of similar debt or discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the present value of the expected repayments or fair value of collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. The Company typically bases the fair value of the collateral on appraised values which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company typically bases the fair value of the collateral on appraised values which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate, based on secondary market prices. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. These loans are recorded in Level 2

The following table provides fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value less cost to sell at the end of the period.

Note 11 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.

The fair value estimates presented at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price at which a liability could be settled. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The estimated fair values disclosed in the following table do not represent market values of all assets and liabilities of the Company and should not be interpreted to represent the underlying value of the Company. The valuations at March 31, 2018 are observed under the exit price notion as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-01. The following table reflects a comparison of carrying amounts and the estimated fair value of the financial instruments as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

•

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until their expected realization and are recorded in Level 1 with the exception of time deposits due from banks that are in Level 2.

•

Securities available for sale – Securities available for sale are carried at fair value based on quoted and observable market prices and are recorded in Levels 1 and 2. Also see discussion in Note 5.

•

Securities held to maturity – Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and are recorded in Level 2.

•

Loans – The fair value of loans is estimated based on discounted expected cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made, a future expected credit loss based on historical charge-offs, and a liquidity discount based on the overall risk grade of the load portfolio. These loans are carried in Level 3. Loans held for sale, which represent current mortgage production forward sales not yet delivered, are valued based on secondary market prices. The fair value of loans held for sale does not consider uncertainty in the market that would affect the valuation. Loans held for sale are recorded in Level 2.

•

Restricted stock – It is not practicable to determine fair value of restricted stock which is comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability and it is presented at its carrying value and is recorded in Level 1 due to the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank.

•

Mortgage servicing rights – The fair value disclosed for mortgage servicing rights is based on an independent market valuation and is recorded at Level 2.

•

Accrued interest receivable and payable – Both accrued interest receivable and payable are recorded in Level 3, as there are not active markets for these.

•

Deposits – The fair value of deposits is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using offered market rates and is recorded in Level 2. The fair value of deposits does not consider any customer related intangibles.

•

Borrowings – The fair value disclosed for short-term borrowings, which are composed of overnight borrowings and debt due within one year approximate the carrying value for such debt and is recorded in Level 2. The estimated fair value for long-term borrowings are estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using offered market rates. Total borrowings are carried in Level 2. Long-term debt is fair valued based on discounted cash flow analyses and is recorded in Level 3.

At March 31, 2018, the subsidiary bank had outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed; therefore, the fair value is the fee the bank is expected to receive. This amount is deemed immaterial by management. See Note 9.

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases, Topic 842 (“ASU 2016-02”)”. This ASU increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The key difference between existing standards and this ASU is the requirement for lessees to recognize on their balance sheet all lease contracts with lease terms greater than 12 months, including operating leases. Both a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the leased asset, and a lease liability, representing the contractual obligation, are required to be recognized on the balance sheet of the lessee at lease commencement. Further, this ASU requires lessees to classify leases as either operating or finance leases, which are substantially similar to the current operating and capital leases classifications. The distinction between these two classifications under the new standard does not relate to balance sheet treatment but relates to treatment in the statements of income and cash flows. Lessor guidance remains largely unchanged with the exception of how a lessor determines the appropriate lease classification for each lease to better align the lessor guidance with revised lessee classification guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard, which we anticipate we will adopt during the first quarter of 2019. We currently have two properties that we operate under a lease, both of which would be recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet upon adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We are currently exploring vendor-based options for outsourcing our current model as well as extending our current model to comply with CECL. We continue to assess the potential financial impact to the Company’s financial position.

From time to time, the FASB issues exposure drafts of proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications do not have a material impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services. Any use of “we” or “our” in the following discussion refers to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s total assets increased $25.6 million, from $576.4 million to $602 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $22.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash and due from banks decreased $262,000, while interest-earning deposits with banks increased $22.6 million. The increase is directly related to the increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Investment securities consist of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. Investment securities decreased $3.1 million to $104.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 due to contracted principal pay downs. At March 31, 2018, the Company had net unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $2.5 million.

Loans held for investment increased from $356.9 million to $365.2 million, an increase of $8.3 million for the quarter or 9.3% annualized growth. The Company experienced growth in the commercial real estate, other real estate, residential real estate, consumer, and other loan segments during the first three months of 2018. The commercial real estate segment has the largest increase in the portfolio of 6.68% or $7.7 million. The largest decline is in the commercial segment of $732,000 or 1.33%. Loans held for sale decreased 51.31%, or $2.3 million as many of the loans produced near year-end were not sold on the secondary market until first quarter 2018. The allowance for loan losses was $2.55 million at March 31, 2018, which represented 0.70% of the total loan portfolio compared to $2.46 million or 0.69% at December 31, 2017.

Other changes in our consolidated assets are primarily related to other real estate owned, prepaid assets, and other assets. Other real estate owned decreased $616,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold three pieces of property totaling $632,000. The Company recorded $9,000 of losses associated with the sold property. Prepaid assets have increased $447,000 from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 as many prepaid invoices are paid in first quarter and amortized over the remaining year per contract terms. Other assets increased $411,000 due to the annual funding of executive supplemental employee retirement accounts.

Customer deposits, our primary funding source, experienced a $25.3 million increase during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, increasing from $512.6 million to $537.9 million or 19.7% annualized growth. Demand noninterest-bearing checking increased $18.4 million, interest checking and money market accounts increased $7.2 million, and savings deposits increased $2.0 million. These increases were offset by declines in time deposits of $2.3 million.

Total short-term borrowings increased $527,000 for the period.

Other liabilities increased from $7.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $8.4 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $619,000 related to an increase in the annual funding of executive supplemental employee retirement accounts.

At March 31, 2018, total shareholders’ equity was $43.7 million, a decrease of $793,000 from December 31, 2017. Net income for the three-month period was $234,000. Unrealized losses on investment securities, net of tax, increased by $849,000. The Company repurchased 18,711 shares of common stock for a total value of $103,000, though issued 13,378 shares for a value of $65,000 due to the exercise of the remaining outstanding stock options. The Company paid $140,000 in dividends attributed to noncontrolling interest.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Net Income and Net Income Available to Common Shareholders

Uwharrie Capital Corp reported net income of $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $617,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $383,000. Net income available to common shareholders was $91,000 or $0.01 per common share at March 31, 2018, compared to $471,000 or $0.07 per common share at March 31, 2017. Net income available to common shareholders is net income less dividends on the aforementioned noncontrolling interest.

Net Interest Income

As with most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for our subsidiary bank is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and wholesale borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of noninterest-bearing liabilities and capital.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $4.7 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $382,000. During the first quarter of 2018, the average yield on our interest–earning assets increased 7 basis points to 3.84%, as the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities increased four basis points to 0.35%. The aforementioned changes resulted in a higher interest rate spread of 3.49% as of March 31, 2018 compared to 3.46% as of March 31, 2017. Our net interest margin was 3.58% and 3.53% for the comparable periods in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The following table presents average balance sheets and a net interest income analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $78,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2018 compared to a recovery of $59,000 for the same period in 2017. There were net loan recoveries of $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared with net loan recoveries of $29,000 during the same period of 2017. Refer to the Asset Quality discussion on page 27 for further information.

Noninterest Income

The Company generates most of its revenue from net interest income; however, diversification of our revenue sources is important as well. Total noninterest income decreased $479,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The primary factor contributing to the overall decrease was a decrease in income from mortgage loan sales of $209,000, decreasing from $871,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to $662,000 for the same period in 2018. Rising interest rates, as well as a shortage in the housing supply has reduced the number of applications for new home purchases. Additionally, a shortage of qualified buyers has exacerbated the reduced mortgage production, all directly contributing to the reduction in noninterest income.

Furthermore, during 2017, the Strategic Alliance Corporation, the broker-dealer subsidiary of Uwharrie Bank, acting as the selling agent, completed a private placement offering of slightly over $4 million, which resulted in $203,000 of revenue.

Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange and card transaction fees consist of income from check card usage, point of sale income from PIN-based debit card transactions, ATM service fees, and credit card usage. Beginning in 2018, in connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” interchange and card transaction fees are reported net of related network costs. See Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies. Previously, such network costs were reported as a component of other non-interest expense. Interchange and card transaction fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 reported on a net basis totaled $142,000 and $136,000, respectively. A comparison of gross interchange and card transaction fees and interchange and card transaction fees net of associated network costs for the reported periods is presented in the table below:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $6.5 million compared to $6.1 million for the same period of 2017. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $248,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2018. The majority of this increase is attributable to the increase in personnel associated with staffing the Company’s new branch, which opened in first quarter 2018. Net occupancy expense increased $60,000 from $304,000 at March 31, 2017 to $364,000 at March 31, 2018. The increase is attributed to increased rent associated with the new branch location. Data processing expense increased $68,000 year-over-year for the first quarter of 2018 due to the on-going core conversion project scheduled for completion in August of 2018. The Company has incurred both conversion and de-conversion costs associated with this project. In addition, professional fees and services has increased $72,000 from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 due to consulting, training, and travel associated with the core conversion training.

These increases have been offset by declines in both foreclosed real estate expenses and marketing expenses. Foreclosed real estate has declined from $88,000 at March 31, 2017 to $39,000 at March 31, 2018. As the Company’s other real estate holdings continue to decline, the expenses associated with holding the property also declines. Marketing has declined $47,000 from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 due to the completion of a three-year marketing contract that assisted the Company with branding after the Company merged its subsidiary banks and changed its subsidiary bank name. The table below reflects the composition of other noninterest expense.

Income Tax Expense

The Company had income tax expense of $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 at an effective tax rate of 19.86% compared to income tax expense of $257,000 with an effective tax rate of 29.41% in the comparable 2017 period. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are affected primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities, tax-free municipal loans and income earned on bank owned life insurance. In 2018, the effective tax rate decreased significantly due to the enactment of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, which lowered the overall federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Asset Quality

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and decreased by recoveries of amounts previously charged off and is reduced by recovery of provisions and loans charged off. Management continuously evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, management considers the following: the growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio; historical loan loss experience; current delinquency levels; adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay; estimated value of any underlying collateral; prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. The Company’s credit administration function, through a review process, periodically validates the accuracy of the initial risk grade assessment. In addition, as a given loan’s credit quality improves or deteriorates, the credit administration department has the responsibility to change the borrower’s risk grade accordingly. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less the selling costs. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Management uses a risk-grading program designed to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by loan officers then reviewed and monitored by credit administration. This process includes the maintenance of an internally classified loan list that is designed to help management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In establishing the appropriate classification for specific assets, management considers, among other factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s ability to repay, the borrower’s payment history and the current delinquent status. Because of this process, certain loans are deemed to be impaired and evaluated as an impaired loan.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of an appropriate amount to provide for probable credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while management believes it has established the allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that banking regulators, in reviewing the Company’s portfolio, will not require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary, should the quality of any loans deteriorate because of the factors discussed herein. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

At March 31, 2018, the levels of our impaired loans, which includes all loans in nonaccrual status, TDRs and other loans deemed by management to be impaired, were $5.5 million compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2017, a net decrease of $79,000. Total nonaccrual loans, which are a component of impaired loans, decreased from $1.0 million at December 31, 2017 to $994,000 at March 31, 2018. During the first three months of 2018, one additional loan of $66,000 was added to a relationship already in impaired loans. That was offset by pay-off of two impaired relationships totaling $81,000 as well as net pay downs of $15,000.

The allowance, expressed as a percentage of gross loans held for investment, increased one basis point from 0.69% at December 31, 2017 to 0.70% at March 31, 2018. The collectively evaluated reserve allowance as a percentage of collectively evaluated loans was 0.64% at December 31, 2017 and 0.66% at March 31, 2018. The increase is attributable to a slight increase in economic uncertainty, or market risk. The individually evaluated allowance as a percentage of individually evaluated loans decreased from 3.49% to 2.96% for the same periods due to an increase of individually evaluated loans that are sufficiently collateralized with expected returns of principal cash flow as contracted, therefore requiring no additional allowance. The portion of the Company’s allowance for loan loss model related to general reserves captures the mean loss of individual loans within the loan portfolio and adds additional loss based on economic uncertainty and volatility. Specifically, the Company calculates probable losses on loans by computing a probability of loss and multiplying that by a loss given default derived from historical experience, thus deriving the estimated loss scenario by FDIC call report codes. Together, these expected components, as well as a reserve for qualitative factors based on management’s discretion of

-29-

economic conditions and portfolio concentrations form the basis of the allowance model. The loans that are impaired and included in the specific reserve are excluded from these calculations.

The Company assesses the probability of losses inherent in the loan portfolio using probability of default data acquired from a third-party vendor representing a one-year loss horizon for each obligor. The Company updates the data inputs into the model; specifically, the loss given default and the probability of defaults obtained from the vendor annually during the second quarter. The Company updates the credit scores which is one of the components used within the allowance model semi-annually, during the first and third quarters. The probability of default associated with each credit score is the major driver in the allowance for loan losses.

The ratio of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing, to total loans decreased from 0.29% at December 31, 2017, to 0.27% at March 31, 2018.

Management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

Other real estate owned decreased $616,000 during the first quarter of 2018. The Company sold three pieces of foreclosed property totaling $632,000 realizing a loss of $9,000. The Company had no write-downs for the period ending March 31, 2018. There were no loans foreclosed on during the first quarter.

Troubled debt restructured loans at March 31, 2018 totaled $4.58 million compared to $4.60 million at December 31, 2016 and are included in impaired loans. At March 31, 2018, there were two troubled debt restructured loans in nonaccrual status.

The following table shows the comparison of nonperforming assets at March 31, 2018 to December 31, 2017:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The objective of the Company’s liquidity management policy is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on any opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses the ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The Company’s primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest payments on loans, cash flows generated from operations and cash flow generated by investments. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of funds for loan growth. The Company and its subsidiary bank have multiple funding sources, in addition to deposits, that can be used to increase liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility. These sources are the subsidiary bank’s established federal funds lines with correspondent banks aggregating $28 million at March 31, 2018, with available credit of $28 million; established borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank, with available credit of $42.7 million; access to borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, with available credit of $33.0 million and the issuance of commercial paper. The Company has also secured long-term debt from other sources. Total debt from these sources aggregated $9.5 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $9.5 million at December 31, 2017.

Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The Federal Reserve, the primary federal regulator of the Company and its subsidiary bank, has adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets.

The Company continues to maintain capital ratios that support its asset growth. Bank regulatory agencies approved regulatory capital guidelines (“Basel III”) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for banking organizations. Under the final rules, minimum requirements increase for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company. The rules require a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.50%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00%, a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%. A capital conservation buffer, comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital, was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer began to be phased in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its final level of 2.50% on January 1, 2019. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the final rules. The final rules also revise the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, total capital, and risk-weighted assets.

The phase-in period for the final rules became effective for the Company and its subsidiary bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance of all the final rules’ requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule, to be fully phased-in by January 1, 2019. As of March 31, 2018, the Company and its subsidiary bank continue to exceed minimum capital standards and remain well-capitalized under applicable capital guidelines.

As previously discussed, the Company’s subsidiary bank has a net total of $10.6 million in outstanding Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the bank and will pay dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The net total of $10.6 million is presented as noncontrolling interest at the Company level and qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the Company. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $9.5 million in subordinated debt outstanding that qualifies as Tier 2 capital. The Company has made all interest and dividend payments in a timely manner.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the result of differing maturities or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the fact that rates on these financial instruments do not change uniformly. These conditions may impact the earnings generated by the Company’s interest earning assets or the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, thus directly impacting the Company’s overall earnings. The Company’s management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk. One way this is accomplished is through the development of and adherence to the Company’s asset/liability policy. This policy sets forth management’s strategy for matching the risk characteristics of the Company’s interest-earning assets and liabilities so as to mitigate the effect of changes in the rate environment. In management’s opinion, the Company’s market risk profile has not changed significantly since December 31, 2017.
