Letter to Stockholders
Dear Stockholders of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc.,
2020 has been a year like no other in our lifetime. We are extremely proud and thankful for the
exceptional work and dedication performed by our team in this challenging year.
At the start of the pandemic, we established three goals:
Keep our employees safe
Keep our customers safe
Meet the banking needs of our customers
We successfully met these goals and generated a reasonable return. We are proud to say that our
bankers made a positive difference in the communities we serve. Hundreds of businesses and
home owners were assisted with PPP loans, home loans refinances and payment deferrals. By in
large, our customers have successfully navigated this challenging period with our support.
William D. Daniels
Chairman of the Board
Even with the challenges of the pandemic, we achieved significant financial results.
Total assets set a record at over $1.1 billion
Total stockholders’ equity set a record at over $109 million
Net income for ongoing operations improved 18% in 2020 compared to 2019
In addition, we accelerated our implementation and utilization of technology. Much of the
technology adoption was driven by the pandemic, but these technology improvements will benefit
us for years to come.
As the pandemic is not fully behind us, we will again this year be conducting a virtual annual
meeting. Instructions for participation are included in your proxy statement. We hope you will be
able to join us virtually on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 9:00 a.m.
Thank you for your ongoing investment and support of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
To the Stockholders:
Management of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. has prepared and is responsible for the integrity and consistency of the financial
statements and other related information contained in this Annual Report. In the opinion of Management, the financial statements,
which necessarily include amounts based on management estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and appropriate to the circumstances.
In meeting its responsibilities, First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to
provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with established policies
and practices, and that transactions are properly recorded so as to permit preparation of financial statements that fairly present
financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Internal controls and procedures are augmented by written policies covering standards of personal and business conduct
and an organizational structure providing for division of accountability and authority.
The effectiveness of, and compliance with, established control systems are monitored through a continuous program of internal
audit, account review, and external audit. In recognition of the cost-benefit relationships and inherent control limitations, some
features of the control systems are designated to detect rather than prevent errors, irregularities and departures from approved
policies and practices. Management believes the system of controls has prevented or detected on a timely basis, any occurrences
that could be material to the financial statements and that timely corrective action has been initiated when appropriate.
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. engaged the accounting firm of RSM US LLP as Independent Auditors to render an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. To the best of our knowledge, the Independent Auditors were provided with access to all
information and records necessary to render their opinion.
The Board of Directors exercises its responsibility for the financial statements and related information through the Audit Committee,
which is composed entirely of outside directors. The Audit Committee meets regularly with Management, the internal auditing
manager and staff, and the Independent Auditors to assess the scope of the annual audit plan and to discuss audit, internal control
and financial reporting issues. Among the many items discussed are major changes in accounting policies and reporting practices.
The Independent Auditors also meet with the Audit Committee to afford them the opportunity to discuss adequacy of compliance
with established policies and procedures and the quality of financial reporting.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
Introduction
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. provides an analysis of
the consolidated financial statements and focuses upon those
factors which had a significant influence on the overall 2020
performance.
The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The Company was incorporated on August 25, 1988, and acquired
First Midwest Bank/M.C.N.A. (the Bank) on June 30, 1989. The Bank
acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. Prior to the
acquisition of the Bank, the Company did not engage in any
significant business activities.
Financial Management
The business of the Company is that of a community-oriented
financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the
needs of the communities it serves.
Consolidated Assets (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars)
The Company attracts deposits from the general public and uses
such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, consumer loans,
business loans and agricultural loans in its primary market area. The
Company also invests in investment securities consisting primarily of
U.S. government or agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities,
financial institution certificates of deposit, and other liquid assets.
The Company’s goal is to achieve consistently high levels of earning
assets and loan/deposit ratios while maintaining effective expense
control and high customer service levels. The term “high level” means
the ability to profitably increase earning assets. As deposits have
become fully deregulated, sustained earnings enhancement has
focused on “earning asset” generation. The Company will focus on
lending money profitably, controlling credit quality, net interest
margin, operating expenses and on generating fee income from
banking operations.

$20,855,000 (65.53%). This was partially offset by a $15,815,000
(3.24%) decrease in net loans, a decrease in federal funds sold of
$5,649,000 (43.35%), and a decline in other assets of $1,156,000
(2.65%). The decline in net loans and federal funds sold, as well as
deposit growth of $125,646,000
(17.27%), and short-term
borrowings growth of $52,048,000 (64.63%) funded the growth in
securities and cash due from banks.
Prevailing economic conditions as well as federal regulations
concerning monetary and fiscal policies as they pertain to financial
institutions significantly affect the Company. Deposit balances are
influenced by a number of factors including interest rates paid on
competing personal investments and the level of personal income
and savings within the institution’s market. In addition, growth of
deposit balances is influenced by the perceptions of customers
regarding the stability of the financial services industry. Lending
activities are influenced by the demand for housing, competition from
other lending institutions, as well as interest rate levels. The primary
sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan
payments, borrowings and funds provided from operations.
Approximately $153,928,000 of fixed rate long-term residential real
estate loans were sold in the secondary market during 2020, while
$31,629,000 were sold in 2019. Agricultural real estate loans
totaling approximately $1,238,000 were sold in the secondary
market during 2020, while $310,000 were sold
in 2019.
Management continues to place emphasis on the quality versus the
quantity of the credits placed in the portfolio.
Results of Operations Summary
The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on net interest
income, the difference between interest income and interest
expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans,
securities and other interest earning assets outstanding during the
period and the yield earned on such assets. Interest expense is a
function of the balances of deposits and borrowings outstanding
during the same period and the rates paid on such deposits and
borrowings. The Company’s earnings are also affected by provisions
for loan losses, service charges, other non-interest income, and
expense and income taxes. Non-interest expense consists primarily
of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment
expenses and general and administrative expenses.

for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $3,411,000 in
2019.
The amounts recorded in the provision for loan losses are determined
from management’s quarterly evaluation of the quality of the loan
portfolio. In this review, such factors as the volume and character of
the loan portfolio, general economic conditions and past loan loss
experience are considered. Management believes that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate to provide for possible losses in the
portfolio as of December 31, 2020.
* This table includes results of discontinued operations through June 30,
2019.
The yield on average earning assets for the year ended December 31,
2020 was 3.08%, while the average cost of funds for the same period
was 0.58% on average interest bearing liabilities of $789,294,000.
The yield on average earning assets for the year ended December 31,
2019 was 3.74%, while the average cost of funds for the same period
was 0.92% on average interest bearing liabilities of $699,644,000.
The decrease in net interest income of $411,000 can be attributed
to the 0.66% decrease in the yield on average earning assets, and an
increase of $89,650,000 in average interest bearing liabilities, which
was partially offset by the 0.34% decrease in the cost of funds, and
the $114,622,000 increase in average earning assets.
Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans
outstanding is 2.51% as of December 31, 2020, compared to 2.35%
as of December 31, 2019. Net loan charge-offs totaled 2,031,000
Other Income
Other income may be divided into two broad categories – recurring
and non-recurring. Service charges on deposit accounts is a major
source of recurring other income. Investment securities gains and
other income vary annually. Other income for the year ended
December 31, 2020 was $7,519,000, a decrease of $5,634,000
(42.83%) from 2019. This is primarily attributed to the spin-off of First
Bankers Trust Services, Inc. at June 30, 2019.
Other Expense
Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled
$21,009,000, a decrease of $5,529,000 (20.83%) from 2019.
Salaries and employee benefits expense aggregated 60.47% and
58.15% of total other expense for the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
Income Taxes
The Company files its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis
with the Bank. See Note 13 for detail of income taxes.
Management believes that it has structured its pricing mechanisms
such that the net interest margin should maintain acceptable levels in
2020, regardless of the changes in interest rates that may occur.
Liquidity
The concept of liquidity comprises the ability of an enterprise to
maintain sufficient cash flow to meet its needs and obligations on a
timely basis. Bank liquidity must thus be considered in terms of the
nature and mix of the institution’s sources and uses of funds.
Bank liquidity is provided from both assets and liabilities. The asset
side provides liquidity through regular maturities of investment
securities and loans. Investment securities with maturities of one year
or less, deposits with banks and federal funds sold are a primary source
of asset liquidity. On December 31, 2020, these categories totaled
$94,535,000 or 8.61% of assets, compared to $69,372,000 or 6.01%
the previous year.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, securities held to maturity
included $177,000 and $161,000, respectively, of gross unrealized
gains and no unrealized losses, on securities which management
intends to hold until maturity. Such amounts are not expected to have
a material effect on future earnings beyond the usual amortization of
premium and accretion of discount.
Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of
rate sensitivity (management of variable rate assets and liabilities),
which focuses on maintaining stable net interest margin, an important
factor in earnings growth and stability. Emphasis is placed on
maintaining an evenly balanced rate sensitivity position to avoid wide
swings in margins and minimize risk due to changes in interest rates.
The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee
is charged with the
responsibility of prudently managing the volumes and mixes of assets
and liabilities of the subsidiary bank.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
Capital
The ability to generate and maintain capital at adequate levels is critical
to the Company’s
long-term success. A common measure of
capitalization for financial institutions is primary capital as a percent of
total assets.
Regulations also require the Company to maintain certain minimum
capital levels in relation to consolidated Company assets. Regulations
require a minimum ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%.
The Company’s capital, as defined by the regulations, was 18.71% of
risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 2020. In addition, a leverage
ratio of at least 4.00% is to be maintained. As of December 31, 2020,
the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.34%.

Asset Liability Management
Since changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on
operations, the Company has implemented, and currently maintains,
an asset liability management committee at the Bank to monitor and
react to the changes in interest rates and other economic conditions.
Research concerning interest rate risk is supplied by the Company from
information received from a third-party source. The committee acts
upon this information by adjusting pricing, fee income parameters
and/or marketing emphasis.

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. (Company) is a bank holding company which
owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Bankers Trust Company,
N.A. (Bank), FBIL Statutory Trust II (Trust II) and FBIL Statutory Trust III (Trust
III). Prior to July 1, 2019 the Company also owned 100% of First Bankers Trust
Services, Inc. (Trust Services). The Bank is engaged in banking and bank
related services and serves a market area consisting primarily of Adams,
McDonough, Schuyler, Hancock and Sangamon counties in west central
Illinois.
On July 1, 2019, the Company completed the distribution of 100% of the
outstanding common stock of First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. (Trust
Services) to the stockholders (the “Distribution”), pursuant to which Trust
Services became an independent company. These financial statements
reflect Trust Services’ financial results in the consolidated statements of
income as discontinued operations (See Note 2). Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement entered into on June 5, 2019, assets related to Trust Services
were transferred to, and liabilities related to Trust Services were retained or
assumed by Trust Services. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for
additional information.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
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
allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires material
estimates that are susceptible to significant change. The fair value disclosure
of financial instruments is an estimate that can be computed within a range.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except
Trusts II and III, which do not meet the criteria for consolidation. All significant

separately in the consolidated financial statements.
transactions have been eliminated
Presentation of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash
on hand and amounts due from banks, including cash items in process of
clearing. Cash flows from federal funds sold, loans to customers, deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reported net.
Securities
Securities held to maturity are those for which the Company has the ability
and intent to hold to maturity. Securities meeting such criteria at the date of
purchase and as of the balance sheet date are carried at amortized cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed
by the interest method over their contracted lives.
Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the unrealized
holding gains or losses, net of their deferred income tax effect, are presented
as increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income, as a
separate component of equity.
Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are based upon the adjusted
book value of the specific securities sold and are included in earnings.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
There were no trading securities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
All securities are evaluated to determine whether declines in fair value below
their amortized cost are other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-
temporary impairment losses on debt securities, management considers a
number of factors including, but not limited to (1) the length of time and extent
to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) the current market
conditions and (4) the intent of the Company to not sell the security prior to
recovery and whether it is not more likely than not that it will be required to
sell the security prior to recovery. If the Company does not intend to sell the
security, and it is unlikely the entity will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will recognize the credit
component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in
earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held
to maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary
impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion
would be amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the
basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security.
Federal Funds Sold
Federal funds sold consist of excess bank reserves lent in the federal funds
market. The Company’s balance sheet includes federal funds sold of $7,382
and $13,031 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans held for sale: Residential real estate and agricultural loans, which are
originated and intended for resale in the secondary market in the foreseeable
future, are classified as held for sale. These loans are carried at the lower of
cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. As assets specifically
acquired for resale, the origination of, disposition of, and gain/loss on these
loans are classified as operating activities in the statements of cash flows.
Loans held for investment: Loans that management has the intent and ability
to hold for the foreseeable future, or until pay-off or maturity occurs, are
classified as held for investment. These loans are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for estimated losses
on loans, and any deferred fees and/or costs on originated loans. Interest is
credited to earnings as earned based on the principal amount outstanding.
Deferred direct loan origination fees and/or costs are amortized as an
adjustment of the related loan’s yield. As assets held for and used in the
production of services, the origination and collection of these loans is
classified as an investing activity in the statements of cash flows.
Allowance for credit losses and fair value are disclosed by portfolio segment,
while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables, nonaccrual
status and troubled debt restructurings are presented by class of financing
receivable. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity
develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its
allowance for credit losses. A class of financing receivable is defined as a
further disaggregation of a portfolio segment based on risk characteristics
and the entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. The
disclosures are presented at the level of disaggregation that management
uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance.
The Company’s portfolio segments are as follows:
Commercial operating
Commercial real estate
Agricultural operating
Agricultural real estate
Construction and land development
Real estate secured by 1-4 and multi-family
Consumer
19
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Given the risk characteristics and the Company’s method for monitoring and
assessing credit risk, further disaggregation of the loan portfolio is not
warranted, and therefore, the Company’s classes equal their segments.
services companies, health care providers, financial organizations and
retailers. The
Generally, for all classes of loans, loans are considered past due when
contractual payments are delinquent for 31 days or greater.
For all classes of loans, loans will generally be placed on nonaccrual status
when the loan has become 90 days past due (unless the loan is well secured
and in the process of collection); or if any of the following conditions exist:
It becomes evident that the borrower will not make payments, or will
not or cannot meet the terms for renewal of a matured loan,
When full repayment of principal and interest is not expected,
When the loan is graded “substandard” and the future accrual of
interest is not protected by sound collateral values,
When the loan is graded “doubtful”,
When the borrower files bankruptcy and an approved plan of
reorganization or liquidation is not anticipated in the near future, or
When foreclosure action is initiated.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, payments received will be applied
to the principal balance. However, interest may be taken on a cash basis in
the event the loan is fully secured and the risk of loss is minimal. Previously
recorded but uncollected interest on a loan placed in nonaccrual status is
accounted for as follows: if the previously accrued but uncollected interest
and the principal amount of the loan is protected by sound collateral value
based upon a current, independent qualified appraisal, such interest may
remain on the Company’s books. If such interest is not protected, it is
considered a loss with the amount thereof recorded in the current year being
reversed against current earnings, and the amount recorded in the prior year
being charged against the allowance for possible loan losses.
For all classes of loans, nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status
provided the following criteria are met:
The loan is current, and all principal and interest amounts
contractually due have been made,
The loan is well secured and in the process of collection, and
Prospects for future principal and interest payments are not in
doubt.
Troubled debt restructures: Troubled debt restructuring exists when the
Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial
difficulties, grants a concession (either imposed by court order, law or
agreement between the borrower and the Company) to the borrower that it
would not otherwise consider. These concessions could include forgiveness
of principal, extension of maturity dates and reduction of stated interest rates
or accrued interest. The Company is attempting to maximize its recovery of
the balances of the loans through these various concessionary restructurings.
See Note 4 for disclosure of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings.
Allowance for loan losses: For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan
losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management to
provide for losses that are probable. The allowance is increased by provisions
charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs.
In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Company makes
continuous evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet
commitments, considered current economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience, reviews of specific problem loans and other factors.
A discussion of the risk characteristics and the allowance for loan losses by
each portfolio segment follows:
For commercial operating loans, the Company focuses on small and mid-sized
businesses with primary operations in transportation, warehousing and
manufacturing, as well as serving as building contractors, business
Company provides a wide range of commercial loans, including lines of credit
for working capital and operational purposes, and term loans for the
acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and other purposes. Approval
is generally based on the following factors:
Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment;
Ability and stability of current management of the borrower;
Positive earnings and financial trends;
Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions;
Financial strength of the industry and business; and
Value and marketability of collateral.
Collateral for commercial loans generally includes accounts receivable,
inventory, equipment and real estate. The lending policy specifies approved
collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The value
of collateral pledged on loans typically exceeds the loan amount by a margin
sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure
and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to cash.
The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for commercial operating
loans. For term loans, the maximum term is 7 years. The lending policy
references compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation
guidelines effective December 2010. Where the purpose of the loan is to
finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the
estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum term
is 365 days. However, longer maturities may be approved if the loan is
secured by readily marketable collateral.
In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the
overall financial condition of the borrower.
Commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans and
real estate secured by multi-family loans are subject to underwriting
standards and processes similar to commercial operating loans and to real
estate loans including the factors regarding approval of the loan noted
previously.
Collateral for these loans generally includes the underlying real estate and
improvements, and may include additional assets of the borrower. The lending
policy specifies maximum loan-to-value limits based on the category of
commercial real estate (commercial real estate loans on improved property,
raw land, land development and commercial construction). The lending policy
also references compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation
guidelines. In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help
assure repayment.
Agricultural operating and real estate loans are subject to underwriting
standards and processes similar to commercial loans including the approval
factors noted previously. The Company provides a wide range of agriculture
loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes,
and term loans for the acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and
other purposes.
Collateral for agricultural loans generally includes accounts receivable,
inventory (typically grain or livestock), equipment and real estate. The lending
policy specifies approved collateral types and corresponding maximum
advance percentages. The value of collateral pledged on loans typically
exceeds the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of
its value in the event of foreclosure and cover the loan amount plus costs
incurred to convert it to cash.
The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for agricultural loans. For
term loans, the maximum term is 7 years. The lending policy references
20
compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation guidelines. Where
the purpose of the loan is to finance depreciable equipment, the term loan
generally does not exceed the estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of
credit, the typical maximum term is 365 days. However, longer maturities may
be approved if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral.
prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a case-by-case basis
by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the
overall financial condition of the borrower.
In some instances for all loans, it may be appropriate to originate or purchase
loans that are exceptions to the guidelines and limits established within the
lending policy described above and below. In general, exceptions to the
lending policy do not significantly deviate from the guidelines and limits
established within the lending policy and, if there are exceptions, they are
clearly noted as such and specifically identified in loan approval documents.
The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are
originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties
while retaining servicing rights on the majority of those loans. The market
value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a
result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is
located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of
the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan
portfolio. Additionally, the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in
large part, on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and is therefore
more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields
and higher risks of default than real estate-related loans. Consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and
are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational
vehicles and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial
condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The
collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to
recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition. In addition, a decline
in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting
the ability of customers to repay their obligations.
For loans categorized as “commercial,” which would include the following
segments: commercial operating, commercial real estate, agricultural real
estate, agricultural operating, construction and land development and real
estate secured by multi-family, the allowance for estimated losses on loans
consist of specific and general components.
The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, as
defined below. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance
is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or
observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value
of that loan.
These loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled
payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms
of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining
impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that
experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are
not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of
payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s
21
The general components consist of quantitative and qualitative factors and
covers non-impaired loans. The quantitative factors are based on historical
charge-offs experience and expected loss given default derived from the
Company’s internal risk rating process. See below for a detailed description
of the Company’s internal risk rating scale. The qualitative factors are
determined based on an assessment of internal and/or external influences
on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating
data.
The Company utilizes the following internal risk rating scale:
Type 1 (Substantially Risk Free)
General Statement: This rating should be assigned to loans with virtually no
credit risk, such as loans fully secured by certificates of deposit and other
deposit accounts. It may be assigned to other loans to businesses or
individuals with little or no risk.
Business Loans: A loan to a business may be rated 1 if it exhibits enough of
these characteristics to make it substantially risk free:
Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and diligence
of management.
Earnings are strong and well-assured.
There is ample liquidity.
Loans have paid as agreed.
Abundant collateral which is liquid and has well-defined market
value.
Capital position well above industry averages.
Loan structure is appropriate and documentation complete.
No adverse trends.
Loans to Individuals: Loans to individuals may be assigned a 1 rating if the
following conditions are met:
The primary source of repayment is strong and is considered likely
to remain strong throughout the life of the loan.
The loan is secured by collateral with a loan to value (LTV) of less
than 50% provided that the collateral must have well-defined
market-value, must have satisfactory liquidity and should retain
most of its value if the primary source of repayment falters.
The individual has significant liquidity and is considered likely to
remain liquid over the life of the loan.
Type 2 (Low Risk)
General Statement: This rating should be assigned to loans that have little
credit risk. Borrowers in this category have strong earnings and capital and a
secondary source of repayment that is sufficient to fully repay the loan. The
business is considered to be highly resistant to adverse changes in economic
or industry conditions.
Business Loans: Following are some characteristics of loans that should be
rated 2. A 2 loan may not exhibit all of the following characteristics, but its
strengths -- primarily the sufficiency/reliability of the sources of repayment --
result in a loan with little credit risk. To the extent that a loan is not
characterized by one or more of the factors listed below, the deficiency is not
considered to adversely affect the likelihood of repayment in any material way.
Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and diligence
of management.
Consistent record of earnings; the earnings stream is considered
resistant to changes in economic conditions.
Liquidity at or above industry norms.
Loans have paid as agreed.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Collateral margin is well within policy guidelines with satisfactory
liquidity and well-defined market value.
Capital position above industry averages.
Loan structure appropriate and documentation complete.
No adverse trends.
Loans to Individuals: Loans to individuals may be rated 2 if the individual’s
earnings stream is considered strong and reliable and the individual
maintains a conservative financial posture. The income may be from any
source, including business income, passive income, or professional income.
Individuals are considered to maintain a conservative financial posture if they
consistently leave themselves a wide margin of safety in terms of their ability
to repay debt. This margin typically manifests itself in the form of significant
liquidity, strong debt service coverage (DSC) ratios and/or quick repayment of
loans.
Type 3 (Normal Risk)
General Statement: Borrowers in this category have satisfactory earnings and
net worth. In most cases, there is collateral or guarantor support which
provides a satisfactory secondary source of repayment. The business is
considered to be capable of operating profitably throughout the normal
business cycle.
Business Loans: Loans to businesses should be rated 3 if financial strength
is typical for the industry and there is no significant adverse trends. Following
are some characteristics of 3 loans. A loan may not exhibit all of the following
characteristics, but its strengths -- primarily the sufficiency/reliability of the
sources of repayment -- result in a loan with normal levels of risk.
Management is considered to be capable and diligent.
The earnings stream is satisfactory under present conditions and
is considered likely to continue.
Satisfactory liquidity
Loans have paid as agreed.
Collateral is considered sufficient to repay the loan in full within a
reasonable marketing time.
Capital position within a reasonable range above or below industry
average.
No material deficiencies in loan structure or documentation.
Trends typically flat or positive. No material adverse trends.
Loans to Individuals: Loans may be unsecured and still rated 3 if the
individual’s earnings stream is both strong and reliable. If earnings are not as
strong, loans should be rated 3 if the Bank’s collateral is considered sufficient
to repay the loans.
Type 4 (Above Average Risk)
General Statement: Borrowers in this category are not as strong financially as
the typical business in the same industry. There may be discernible weakness
in management, earnings, capital or the Bank’s secondary sources of
repayment. The business is considered to be susceptible to adverse changes
in economic or industry conditions.
Business Loans: Loans to businesses should be rated 4 if financial strength
is somewhat below industry averages, but the loans are expected to repay as
agreed if the company’s current financial conditions stay the same or
strengthen. Following are some examples of weaknesses which may cause a
loan to have above average levels of risk. A 4 loan will not have all of these
weaknesses, but will have one or more:
There is some question as to the strength of management.
The company is profitable in most years, but earnings are typically
below industry averages.
Liquidity may be limited as evidenced by occasional delinquencies.
There may be a less than desirable margin in collateral; the
collateral may be difficult to market; or the value of collateral may
vary significantly depending on economic conditions.
Capital position is below industry average.
22
May have deficiencies
loan structure,
documentation or missing financial information.
in
incomplete
legal
May have an adverse trend in sales or earnings; may be capital
account withdrawals in excess of earnings.
Loans to Individuals: Loans to individuals should be rated 4 if the bank
appears to have a satisfactory source of repayment for the loan, but there is
concern about the individual’s earnings stream, leverage or tolerance for risk.
Type 5 (Watch Loan)
General Statement: Borrowers in this category have readily apparent
weaknesses in their financial condition. There may be weak earnings, thin
capital or an adverse trend that is expected to continue. The borrower
currently has the capacity to repay, but is of marginal strength and is
considered to have little ability to overcome economic events that would
adversely affect the business. Loans with material documentation or
structural deficiencies may also be rated Watch at the discretion of bank or
loan review personnel.
Business Loans: Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant
a Watch rating. Loans rated Watch will typically have several of the following
weaknesses:
There is often a question about the ability of management to operate
the business successfully over time.
The earnings stream is weak, with possible periods of loss.
Liquidity may be a problem as evidenced by delinquencies or
amortization periods longer than is typical for the type of collateral
securing the loan.
There may be reasonable doubt as to whether the loan would be
repaid in full from the sale of collateral. Possible issues include:
third-party claims to the collateral, difficulty in obtaining possession,
condition, marketing time and value under current market
conditions.
Capital position less than half of industry average.
Common to have deficiencies in loan structure, incomplete legal
documentation or missing financial information. Trends are flat or
negative. It is common for there to be a decline in sales, earnings
and/or capital.
Loans to Individuals: See “General Statement” for Watch loans.
Type 6 (Substandard)
General Statement: These loans have one or more pronounced weaknesses
which jeopardize their timely liquidation. Neither the earnings of the business
nor its realistic net worth adequately protect the Bank from possible loss.
There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected.
Business Loans: Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant
a substandard rating. Loans rated Substandard will typically have several of
the following weaknesses:
Management often considered to have made incorrect strategic
decisions or to be weak or inattentive.
Earnings stream is insufficient to repay loans on a timely basis.
Business normally has periods of loss, sometimes large.
Liquidity usually strained by operating losses.
Loans usually renegotiated or past-due.
It may be unlikely that the loan would be repaid in full from the sale
of collateral. Possible issues include: third party claims to the
collateral; difficulty in obtaining possession, condition, marketing
time and value under current market conditions.
Typical reliance upon guarantors or other secondary sources of
repayment that was not originally anticipated.
Documentation deficiencies – including lack of important financial
information – are common.
In most cases there are negative trends, such as declines in sales,
earnings and/or capital.
Loans to Individuals: Loans to individual borrowers should be rated
Substandard if there is a pronounced weakness in income, liquidity or
collateral that is likely to affect the ability of the bank to collect the debt in full.
Debt levels may be significantly above accepted guidelines relative to income.
Type 7 (Doubtful)
General Statement: Loans with well-defined weaknesses that make collection
or liquidation of the debt in full improbable based on current information.
Business Loans: Typical characteristics of a doubtful loan include the
following:
Large operating losses.
Collateral insufficient to repay loan.
Typical to have little or no capital. Continued viability of business is
doubtful.
Unreliable or no alternative sources of repayment.
Loss anticipated, exact loss figure cannot be determined at present.
Loans to Individuals: Borrower’s ability or willingness to repay makes
collection of the debt in full unlikely. Loans may be unsecured or have an
obvious collateral deficiency.
Type 8 (Loss)
General Statement: Loans with pervasive weaknesses so great that principal
is considered uncollectible under current circumstances. This classification
does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but simply that
it is no longer practical to defer writing it off. Recovery is dependent on
favorable future events.
Normal characteristics:
Business has failed or is near failure.
No reliable source of repayment.
For these loans categorized as commercial or credit relationships with
aggregate exposure greater than $500,000, a loan review will be required
within 12 months of the most recent credit review. The reviews shall be
completed in enough detail to, at a minimum, validate the risk rating.
Additionally, the reviews shall determine whether any documentation
exceptions exist, appropriate written analysis is included in the loan file and
whether credit policies have been properly adhered to.
An ongoing independent review is conducted of a sampling of residential real
estate as well to assess underwriting quality and adherence to policy.
Many of the residential real estate loans underwritten by the Company
conform to the underwriting requirements of Mortgage Partnership Finance
(MPF), Fannie Mae or other secondary market aggregators to allow the bank
to resell loans in the secondary market.
Servicing rights are retained on many, but not all, of the residential real estate
loans sold in the secondary market. The lending policy references compliance
with the interagency appraisal and evaluation guidelines effective December
2010. Mortgage servicing rights are not considered significant as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Company provides many types of consumer and other loans including
motor vehicle, home improvement, home equity, signature loans and small
personal credit lines. The lending policy addresses specific credit guidelines
by consumer loan type.
For residential real estate loans, and consumer loans, these large groups of
smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.
The Company applies a quantitative factor based on historical charge-off
experience in total for each of these segments. Accordingly, the Company
generally does not separately identify individual residential real estate loans
23
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
and/or consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the
subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the
borrower or it has been identified for another specific reason.
Troubled debt restructures are considered impaired loans and are subject to
the same allowance methodology as described above for impaired loans by
portfolio segment.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank had loan concentrations in
agribusiness of 15.55% and 17.88%, respectively, of outstanding loans. The
Bank had no additional industry loan concentrations which, in management’s
judgment, were considered to be significant. The Bank had no foreign loans
outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, only when control
over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is
deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the
Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the assets
it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking
advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a modest
benefit to the transferor and (3) the Company does not maintain effective
control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them
before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return
specific assets.
Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments
to extend credit, including commitments under lines of credit and standby
letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are
funded.
Premises, Furniture and Equipment
Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO), which is included with other assets,
represents properties acquired through foreclosure, in-substance foreclosure
or other proceedings. Property is recorded at fair value less cost to sell when
acquired. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount
is supported by the current fair value. Subsequent write-downs to fair value
are charged to earnings.
Life Insurance Contracts
Bank-owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value, net of surrender
and other charges, with increases/decreases reflected as income/expense in
the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired
in connection with business combinations. Goodwill is evaluated for
impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred.
The Company has completed its annual goodwill impairment test and has
determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Goodwill is included on the consolidated balance sheets in intangibles. See
Note 6.
Repurchase Agreements
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as
secured borrowings, generally mature either daily or within one year from the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are
reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.
The underlying securities are held by the Company’s safekeeping agent. The
Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair
value of the underlying securities.
taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial
statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a
component of income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each reporting
period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock assume the conversion,
exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the
effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from
continuing operations. The Company had no common stock equivalents as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Service Charge Income
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net
fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly
service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The
Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly
service fees is generally satisfied, and the revenue recognized, over the period
in which the service is provided. Check orders, and other deposit account
related fees are largely transactional-based, and therefore, the Company’s
performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point
in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received
immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’
accounts.
Other Income
Other noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such
as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments,
investment advisor fees from the Company’s wealth management products,
safe deposit box rental fees and other miscellaneous revenue streams.
Commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments and
investment advisor fees are recognized monthly as the sales occur. Safe
deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and
recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since
rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized
on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion
of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effects of changes in the tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment.
When the tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken
would be sustained upon examinations by the taxing authorities, while others
could be subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken.
The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax-position
only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a
position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than
50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management
evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from
transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive
income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income, which for
the Company, is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 4, 2021,
the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
Current Accounting Developments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit
Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
The underlying premise of the ASU is that financial assets measured at
amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be
collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect
management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur
over the remaining life of a financial asset. This is in contrast to existing
guidance whereby credit losses generally are not recognized until they are
incurred. Under the standard, impairment of the Company’s loans will be
measured using the current expected credit loss model, which will entail day-
one recognition of life-of-asset expected losses. The standard will be effective
for the Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on
the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic
848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial
Reporting. The ASU was effective upon its issuance. The guidance provides
optional expedients and exceptions for applying existing guidance to contract
modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions to ease the
burden of accounting for such contract modifications. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the
consolidated financial statements.
Risks And Uncertainties
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19
outbreak a ”Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March
11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken to mitigate the spread
of COVID-19 including restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and
forced closures for certain public places and businesses have had, and may
continue to have, an adverse impact on the economies in which the Company
operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to, amongst other provisions, provide
emergency assistance for individuals and businesses affected by the
coronavirus pandemic.
The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (SBA) to create
the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a loan guarantee program that helps
certain affected businesses meet payroll and utilities needs resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the
Company originated approximately $33,070,000 in PPP loans. In most cases,
the program provides for forgiveness up to the full principal amount of the
loan, and may include accrued interest. During the year ended December 31,
2020, the SBA forgave approximately $10,891,000 of the PPP loans
originated by the Company, leaving a balance of approximately $22,179,000
as of December 31, 2020. These loans are included in commercial operating
24
loans within Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, and there are
$241,000 in related allowance for loan losses included for these.
In addition, the CARES Act provides financial institutions the option to
temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to troubled

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
debt restructurings (TDRs) for a limited period of time to account for the
effects of COVID-19. This guidance was recently extended under the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, enacted on December 27, 2020. Under this
TDR guidance, the Company modified loans with an outstanding balance of
approximately $61,791,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020,
which were not classified as TDRs within Note 4 of the consolidated financial
statements.
On June 5, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the spin-off, or distribution, of Trust Services. To consummate the distribution, the Company’s
Board of Directors declared a pro rata dividend of Trust Services common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17,
2019. Each Company stockholder received a distribution of one (1) share of Trust Services common stock for every share of Company common stock held on
July 1, 2019. Immediately after the Distribution, Trust Services became an independent company. We have classified the results of Trust Services as discontinued
operations in our consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.
The financial results of Trust Services are presented as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, on the consolidated statements of income.
There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of the spin-off. The following table presents financial results of Trust Services:

As of December 31, 2020, the investment portfolio included 307 securities. Of this number, 21 securities have current unrealized losses and 2 of them have
current unrealized losses which have existed for longer than one year. All of the debt securities with unrealized losses are considered to be acceptable credit risks.
Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory
filings, management believes the declines in fair value of these debt securities are temporary except for two corporate securities which are considered to be other
than temporarily impaired. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these debt securities and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to
sell these debt securities prior to their anticipated recovery.
In regards to the two corporate securities that are considered to be other than temporarily impaired, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, none of
the credit related losses were recognized in earnings.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of December 31, 2020 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual
maturities because the mortgages underlying the collateralized mortgage obligations and the debt underlying the corporate securities may be called or prepaid
without penalties. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars):

*Performing loans are those which are accruing and less than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans are those on nonaccrual, accruing loans that are
greater than or equal to 90 days past due, and accruing TDRs.
For commercial operating, commercial real estate, agricultural operating, agricultural real estate, real estate secured by multifamily and construction and land
development loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is internally assigned risk ratings. Each of these loans is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The
risk rating is reviewed every 12 months, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan. Some classes of loans
contain loans that are risk rated and loans that are not, as loans of a more homogeneous nature are not risk rated. See Note 1 for further discussion on the
Company’s risk ratings.
For residential real estate loans, consumer loans and a portion of the construction and land development loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is
performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

8. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Letters of Credit
10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Bank advances funds from and repays them to the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) as considered necessary for liquidity purposes. Outstanding
advances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $5,323,000 and
$1,039,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the amounts are due
as follows: $4,000,000 in 2021, $1,039,000 in 2024 and $284,000 in
2030.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Bank, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include unused lines of credit and
standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank had $10,000,000 and
$20,000,000 in letters of credit outstanding with Federal Home Loan Bank,
respectively. These letters were pledged to two customers.
9. Junior Subordinated Debentures and Company Obligated
Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of
Subsidiary Trusts Holding Solely Subordinated
Debentures
Junior subordinated debentures are due to FBIL Statutory Trusts II and III,
which are both 100% owned, non-consolidated subsidiaries of the Company.
The debentures were issued in 2003 and 2004, respectively, in conjunction
with each Trust’s issuance of 5,000 shares of Company Obligated Mandatorily
Redeemable Preferred Securities. The debentures all bear the same interest
rate and terms as the preferred securities, detailed following.
The debentures are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities;
however, in accordance with Federal Reserve Board regulations in effect at
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company is allowed, for regulatory
purposes, to include the entire $10,000,000 of the capital securities issued
by the Trusts in Tier I capital.
During 2004, FBIL Statutory Trust III issued 5,000 shares of Company
Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable
(COMR) Preferred Securities.
Distributions are paid quarterly. Cumulative cash distributions are calculated
at a variable annual rate that is 265 basis points above the three-month
LIBOR rate (2.86% and 4.54% as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively). The Trust may, at one or more times, defer interest payments
on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not
beyond September 15, 2034. At the end of the deferral period, all
accumulated and unpaid distributions will be paid. The capital securities will
be redeemed on September 15, 2034 at par plus any accrued and unpaid
distributions to the date of the redemption; however, the Trust has the option
to redeem at any time at par. The redemption may be in whole or in part, but
in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000.
During 2003 the Company issued 5,000 shares of Company Obligated
Mandatorily Redeemable (COMR) Preferred Securities of FBIL Statutory Trust
II Holding Solely Subordinated Debentures. Distributions are paid quarterly.
Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual rate that is
295 basis points above the three-month LIBOR rate (3.16% and 4.84% as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). The Company may, at one or
more times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20
consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond September 17, 2033. At the
end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions will be
paid. The capital securities will be redeemed on September 17, 2033 at par
plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption;
however, the Company has the option to redeem at any time at par. The
redemption may be in whole or in part, but in all cases in a principal amount
with integral multiples of $1,000.
Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured and rank
junior in priority of payment to all of the Trust’s indebtedness and senior to
the Trust’s capital stock.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
A summary of the Bank’s commitments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019
is as follows. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars):
2020
2019
Commitments to extend credit:
Unused lines of credit

$

Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there
is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The agreements
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the agreements are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit,
is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral
varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment
and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements
and, generally, have terms of one year, or less. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending
loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral, as detailed above,
supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the
customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement
with the third party, the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The
maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to
make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the previous
summary. If the commitment is funded, the Bank would be entitled to seek
recovery from the customer. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts
have been recorded as liabilities for the Bank’s potential obligations under
these guarantees.
The Company has executed contracts for the sale of mortgage loans in the
secondary market in the amount of $1,002,000 and $1,027,000 as of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts include loans
held for sale of none and $169,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, and loan commitments, included in the summary in this Note, of
$1,002,000 and $858,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
A portion of residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary
market are sold with recourse. Specifically, certain loan sales agreements

12. Dividends and Regulatory Capital
The Company’s stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends as are
declared by the Board of Directors. The ability of the Company to pay dividends
in the future is dependent upon its receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries.
The subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is regulated by financial regulatory
statutes. The timing and amount of dividends will depend on earnings, capital
requirements and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as
well as general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the
Company and the subsidiary. Under the provisions of the National Bank Act,
the Bank may not, without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency,
declare dividends in excess of the total of the current and past two year’s
earnings less any dividends already paid from those earnings.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional, discretionary action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-
balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Company and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators and components, risk weightings and
other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank
holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the following table) of total, Tier I, and common equity Tier I capital (as
defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The Bank would be
subject to limitations on certain activities including payment of dividends and
discretionary bonuses to executive officers if its capital level is below the
buffered ratio. Management believes, as of December 31, 2020, that the
Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.
The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately or well capitalized,
the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, common
equity Tier I, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank’s categories.
provide that if the borrower becomes 60 days or more delinquent during the
first six months following the first payment due, and subsequently becomes
90 days or more delinquent during the first 12 months of the loan, the Bank
must repurchase the loan from the subject investor. The Bank did not
repurchase any loans from secondary market investors under the terms of
these loan sales agreements during the years ended December 31, 2020
and 2019. In the opinion of management, the risk of recourse to the Bank is
not significant and, accordingly, no liability has been established.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Aside from cash on hand and in-vault, the Company’s cash is maintained at
various correspondent banks. The total amount of cash on deposit and federal
funds sold exceeded federal insurance limits at five institutions by a total of
approximately $13,490,000 and $19,761,000 as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively. In the opinion of management, no material risk of loss
exists due to the financial condition of the institutions.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on these consolidated
financial statements.
11. Benefits
The Company has a 401(k) plan, which is a tax qualified savings plan, to
encourage
its employees to save for retirement purposes or other
contingencies. All employees, working over 1,000 hours per year, of the
Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan after
completion of one year of service and attaining the age of 21. The employee
may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation before taxes in a
traditional 401(k) and/or a percentage of their compensation after taxes
using the subsidiaries’ Roth 401(k) option. Based upon profits, as determined
by the subsidiaries, a contribution may be made by the subsidiaries.
Employees are 100% vested in the subsidiaries’ contribution to the plan after
five years of service. Employee contributions and vested subsidiaries
contributions may be withdrawn only on termination of employment,
retirement, death or hardship withdrawal.
Under the various Employee Incentive Compensation Plans, the Bank is
authorized at its discretion, pursuant to the provisions of the plan, to establish
on an annual basis, a bonus fund, which will be distributed to certain
employees, based on

14. Fair Value Measurements
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value using a hierarchy system, and requires disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs and includes three levels based upon the valuation techniques used. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other 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.
39
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Investment securities available for sale: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are
estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency
securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset based and other securities. In certain
cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired loans: 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. Loan impairment may be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including
equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. Fair value is determined based upon appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company, and
are, generally, considered level 2 measurements. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the
appraisal, age of comparable included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments are based on
unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a level 3 measurement.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs at the time of acquisition. The fair
value of the property is determined based upon appraisals or internal evaluations. Subsequent write-downs are bases on the lower of carrying value or fair value,
less disposal costs.
There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019.

The Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether
or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are
excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due from banks and federal funds sold equal
their fair values.
Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Loans and loans held for sale: For variable rate loans, fair values are equal to carrying values. The fair values for all other types of loans are estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The fair value of
loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in the secondary market.
Impaired loans, net: Impaired loans fair value is equal to book value minus the related allowance plus estimated selling costs.
Accrued interest receivable and payable: The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is equal to its carrying value.
Deposits: The fair values for demand and savings deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for time
deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated
expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is considered to be equal to the carrying value
due to the borrowings’ short-term nature.
FHLB Advances: The fair value of FHLB Advances approximates the carrying value.
Junior subordinated debentures: It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of junior subordinated debentures as instruments with similar terms are not
available in the market place.
Commitments to extend credit: The fair value of these commitments is not material.
