Dear Stockholders,

“Building on the Past, Investing in the Future” seems an apt tagline to this 2017 annual report as it leads us 
to reflect on the successes and challenges of the past from which we can build and focus on our investment 
into the future. In review of 2017 performance, we are pleased to report that your company earned a net 
income of $9.245 million; this is inclusive of a one-time negative tax expense adjustment of $1.206 million 
resultant from the signing of the Federal Tax Cuts and Job Acts Bill on December 22, 2017. During 2017, a 
year of modest growth, company assets increased by 2.5% or $28.45 million, total loans increased by 1.2% 
or $9.23 million and total deposits maintained a stable balance of $962 million.   

Basic earnings per common share of $2.53 was negatively impacted $0.33 per share by the aforementioned 
tax  expense  adjustment.  Market  performance  of  your  company  stock  in  the  past  year  shows  a  17.80% 
increase  in  the  price/earnings  ratio,  an  8.91%  increase  in  market  value  per  share  and  a  current  stock 
price that surpasses book value.  The company’s continued solid performance through managed interest 
margins, credit risk and net overhead, while fulfilling our vision and purpose as a company involved with 
and building the communities we serve, has been recognized by the market as an investment with strong 
current and future value.

The content of this report focuses on past performance thus providing you, our stockholders, information 
necessary to evaluate the benefit of holding ownership in this company and the ability to assess your future 
value of maintaining that ownership. In order to instill confidence in your investment, it is incumbent 
that the Board and management of your company present not only past success but a forwarding looking 
future vision. Your company has embarked on an aggressive approach of investing in the future that began 
in 2017 and continues into 2018.   

As a result of the Federal Tax Cuts and Job Acts Bill, it is projected that the company will realize a reduced 
tax burden in excess of $1 million in 2018. Several opportunities were considered as to how best to employ 
this benefit to gain not only immediate but continued and sustained value in current and future years. 
Three key areas in the company’s strategic plan vision were targeted for our 2018 investment in the future. 
The  areas  of  investment  are  technology,  personnel  and  facility  development  and  improvement.  The 
following is a brief summary of our on-going investment in these areas.

Technology

•  Anticipated  capital  investment  of  over  $3.0  million  in  software  and  hardware  will  provide  new  and 
enhanced products and services to our customer base. Additionally, in 2017 we added State Bank of 
Herscher  to  our  existing  core  processing  software,  providing  opportunity  for  improved  efficiency 
through  utilization  of  a  common  system.  A  strong  commitment  is  engrained  in  current  and  future 
technology decisions to assure customer data security.

2

Personnel

•  In  2017  the  company  added  staff  to  lead  the  technology  upgrade  and  conversion  projects  within 
our  bank  group  and  added  a  full  time  Corporate  Director  of  Human  Resources.  We  are  currently 
seeking additional visionary leaders, relationship managers and team members to further build our 
strong  workforce  and  continue  the  community  banking  mission  of  your  company.  Investment  in 
staff, education, training and development will allow for succession planning and growth to provide 
shareholder return well into the future.

Facility Development and Improvement

•  During 2017, renovation occurred at the new corporate headquarters of Foresight Financial Group in 
Winnebago, Illinois. Occupancy of this facility occurred in November 2017 and allowed corporate staff 
housed throughout various facilities to reside in one location. This facility is now a hub of activity and 
provides opportunity for improved synergy amongst corporate staff and bank management. In 2018, 
Northwest Bank of Rockford will be constructing a new full service facility along Perryville Road in 
Loves Park, Illinois.   This stronger and more pronounced presence on the growing Northeast side of 
metro-Rockford will garner greater opportunity for continued sustainable growth for one of the few 
remaining local “community” banks in Rockford.

In summary, 2017 was a year of success, learning, and growth through experience. We take pride in our 
2017 financial results, but realize that improved and sustained profitability and growth requires strategic 
investment in the future. As stewards of your investment in Foresight, we acknowledge our significant 
fiduciary  responsibility  and  will  consistently  strive  to  manage  it  for  growth  and  profitability  while 
remaining true to our mission statement of “Community Building through Community Banking”.

Respectfully,

Dean E. Cooke 
Chief Financial Officer

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the Board of Directors 
Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Foresight  Financial  Group,  Inc.  and 
Subsidiaries,  which  comprise  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  and  the  related 
consolidated  statements  of  income,  comprehensive  income,  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the 
years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  2017,  and  the  related  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.    

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, 
implementation,  and  maintenance  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of 
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.    We 
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.  Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free of material misstatement.   

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.    The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of 
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, 
the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial 
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  
An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial 
statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 
opinion.

Opinion 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects, 
the  financial position of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries  as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and 
the  results  of  their  operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended 
December 31, 2017, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 

Report on Supplementary Information 

Our  audits  were  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as 
a  whole.    The  consolidating  information  included  in  Schedules  1  and  2  is  presented  for  purposes  of  additional 
analysis  and  is  not  a  required  part  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    Such  information  is  the 
responsibility  of  management  and  was  derived  from  and  relates  directly  to  the  underlying  accounting  and 
other  records  used  to  prepare  the  financial  statements.    The  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  auditing 
procedures applied in the audit of  the financial statements  and certain additional  procedures, including  comparing 
and  reconciling  such  information  directly  to  the  underlying  accounting  and  other  records  used  to  prepare  the 
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with 
auditing standards generally accepted in the  United  States.    In  our  opinion,  the  information  is  fairly  stated  in 
all  material  respects  in  relation  to  the  consolidated financial statements as a whole.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  Foresight  Financial  Group,  Inc.  (Company)  and  its  wholly-owned 
subsidiaries (Banks) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and 
to  general  practices  within  the  banking  industry.    The  following  is  a  description  of  the  more  significant 
accounting policies: 

(g)  Securities 

(a)  Nature of Operations 

The Company provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through its facilities in 
the  Rockford,  Freeport,  German Valley, Davis, Lena, Winnebago, Pecatonica, Seward, Kankakee, Loves 
Park, Machesney Park, and Herscher, Illinois areas.  Its primary deposit products are demand deposits and 
certificates  of  deposit  and  its  primary  lending  products  are  agriculture,  agribusiness,  commercial,  real 
estate, and installment loans.  

(b)  Basis of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and 
its wholly-owned subsidiaries: German-American State Bank (German), State Bank of Davis (Davis), State 
Bank (Freeport), Northwest Bank of Rockford (Northwest), Lena State Bank (Lena), and State Bank of 
Herscher  (Herscher)  (collectively  the  “Banks”).    All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions 
have been eliminated in consolidation. 

(c)  Subsequent Events 

The  Company  has  evaluated  subsequent  events  for  recognition  and  disclosure  through  March  8,  2018, 
which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  

(d)  Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United  States  of  America  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
reported amounts 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, deferred tax assets, fair 
values of securities, foreclosed assets and financial instruments are particularly susceptible to change in the 
near-term. 

(e)  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

(j)  Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses 

For  purposes  of  the  consolidated  statements  of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  and 
balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold, all of which generally 
mature within ninety days. 

(f)  Interest-bearing Deposits in Banks 

Interest-bearing deposits in banks are comprised of liquid non-maturing deposits in banks but also include 
some balances in time deposits in banks with the maturity being the determining factor for inclusion in 
cash  and  cash  equivalents  with  the  non-maturing  interest  bearing  deposits.    Interest-bearing  deposits  in 
banks are carried at cost. 

16

Debt  securities  that  management  has  the  positive  intent  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity  are  classified  as 

held to maturity (HTM) and recorded at amortized cost.  Securities not classified as HTM are classified as 

available for sale (AFS) and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings 

and reported in other comprehensive income or loss.   Amortization  premiums 

and  discounts 

are 

recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives or earliest call date of the 

securities, as applicable.  Declines in the fair value of HTM and AFS securities below their cost that are 

deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  Gains and losses on the 

sale  of  securities  are  recorded  on  the  trade  date  and  are  determined  using  the  specific-identification 

method.  

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and 

the  extent  to  which  the  fair  value  has  been  less  than  cost,  (2)  the  financial  condition  and  near-term 

prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer 

for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  

(h)  Non-Marketable Equity Securities 

The  Banks,  as  members  of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (FHLB)  system,  are  required  to  maintain  a 

minimum investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of 0.40% of their 

mortgage-related assets or 4.5% of advances from the FHLB.  FHLB stock is reported at cost since no 

ready  market  exists  and  it  has  no  quoted  market  value.    FHLB  stock  is  periodically  evaluated  for 

impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value. 

. 

(i)  Loans Held for Sale 

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market 

in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to 

income. 

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with mortgage servicing rights retained by the Company.  

The  carrying  value  of  mortgage  loans  sold  is  reduced  by  the  cost  allocated  to  the  associated  mortgage 

servicing rights.  Realized gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference 

between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold. 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or 

payoff;  generally  are  reported  at  their  outstanding  unpaid  principal  balances  adjusted  for  purchase 

premiums or discounts, charge-offs, and an allowance for loan losses.  Interest on loans is accrued daily 

based on the unpaid principal balance.   

A loan is considered to be delinquent when payments have not been made according to contractual terms, 

typically evidenced by nonpayment of a monthly installment by the due date.  The accrual of interest on a 

loan is generally discontinued when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured 

and in the process of collection.   Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off at an 

earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  Generally, interest accrued but not 

collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income.  

The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying 

for  return  to  accrual.    Loans  are  returned  to  accrual  status  when  all  the  principal  and  interest  amounts 

contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

(j)  Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

Loan-origination  fees  and  direct  origination  costs  are  generally  recognized  as  income  or  expense  when 
received or incurred since capitalization of these fees and costs would not have a significant impact on the 
consolidated financial statements. 

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are 
charged  against  the  allowance  when  management  believes  the  uncollectibility  of  a  loan  balance  is 
confirmed.  Subsequent  recoveries,  if  any,  are  credited  to  the  allowance.  Management  estimates  the 
allowance  balance  required  using  past  loan  loss  experience,  the  nature  and  volume  of  the  portfolio, 
information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and 
other  factors.  Allocations  of  the  allowance  may  be  made  for  specific  loans,  but  the  entire  allowance  is 
available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. 

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that 
are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, 
it  is  probable  that  the  Company  will  be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  contractual 
terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and 
for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings 
(TDRs) and classified as impaired. 

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 prior payment record, and the amount of 
the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. 

All  problem  loans  meeting  Company  criteria  are  individually  evaluated  for  impairment.  If  a  loan  is 
impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of 
estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is 
expected from the collateral. 

TDRs  are  individually  evaluated  for  impairment  and  included  in  the  separately  identified  impairment 
disclosures.  TDRs  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  using  the  loan’s 
effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, 
net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the 
amount of the allowance on that loan in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan 
losses on loans individually identified as impaired 

The  general  component  covers  loans  that  are  collectively  evaluated  for  impairment.    Large  groups  of 
smaller  balance  homogeneous  loans,  such  as  consumer  and  residential  real  estate  loans,  are  collectively 
evaluated  for  impairment,  and  accordingly,  they  are  not  included  in  the  impairment  disclosures.    The 
general  allowance  component  also  includes  loans  that  are  not  individually  identified  for  impairment 
evaluation, such as commercial loans below the individual evaluation threshold, as well as those loans that 
are individually evaluated but are not considered impaired.   

The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative factors.  The 

historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment or loan class and is based on the actual loss 

history experienced by the Company.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic 

factors  based  on  the  risks  present  for  each  portfolio  segment  or  loan  class.    These  economic  factors 

include:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and 

recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting 

standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of 

lending management and employees; national and economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; 

and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  

Management considers the following when assessing the risk in the loan portfolio: 

•    Residential  real  estate  loans  are  affected  by  the  local  residential  real  estate  market,  the  local 

economy, and, for variable rate mortgages, movement in indices tied to these loans. At the time 

of origination; the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability through a review of debt-

to-income  and  credit  scores.  Appraisals  are  generally  obtained  to  support  the  loan  amount. 

Financial information is obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate 

cash flows sufficiency to service debt at the time of origination. 

•    Agricultural and commercial real estate loans are dependent on the industries tied to these loans. 

Agricultural real estate loans are primarily for land acquisition. Commercial real estate loans are 

primarily  secured  by  office  and  industrial  buildings,  warehouses,  retail  shopping  facilities  and 

various  special  purpose  properties,  including  hotels  and  restaurants.    Financial  information  is 

obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate cash flows sufficiency to 

service  debt;  and  is periodically updated during the life of the loan. Loan performance may be 

adversely  affected  by  factors  impacting  the  general  economy  or  conditions  specific  to  the  real 

estate market; such as geographic location and/or property type. 

•    Commercial  and  agricultural  loans  are  primarily  for  working  capital,  physical  asset  expansion, 

asset  acquisition  loans  and  other.  These  loans  are  made  based  primarily  on  historical  and 

projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the 

borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral 

securing  loans  may  fluctuate  in  value  due  to  economic  or  individual  performance  factors. 

Financial  information  is  obtained  from  the  borrowers  to  evaluate  cash  flows  sufficiency  to 

service debt and is periodically updated during the life of the loan. 

•   Consumer  and  other  loans  may  take  the  form  of  installment  loans,  demand  loans,  or  single 

payment  loans  and  are  extended  to  individuals  for  household,  family,  and  other  personal 

expenditures. At the time of origination; the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability 

through a review of debt-to-income and credit scores.  

(k)  Loan Commitments 

The Banks enter into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit 

and letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs.  Loan commitments are recorded when they 

are  funded.    Standby  or  performance  letters  of  credit  are  considered  financial  guarantees  in  accordance 

with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards and are recorded at fair value, if material.

economy, and, for variable rate mortgages, movement in indices tied to these loans. At the time 
of origination; the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability through a review of debt-
to-income  and  credit  scores.  Appraisals  are  generally  obtained  to  support  the  loan  amount. 
Financial information is obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate 
cash flows sufficiency to service debt at the time of origination. 

•    Agricultural and commercial real estate loans are dependent on the industries tied to these loans. 
Agricultural real estate loans are primarily for land acquisition. Commercial real estate loans are 
primarily  secured  by  office  and  industrial  buildings,  warehouses,  retail  shopping  facilities  and 
various  special  purpose  properties,  including  hotels  and  restaurants.    Financial  information  is 
obtained from the borrowers and/or the individual project to evaluate cash flows sufficiency to 
service  debt;  and  is periodically updated during the life of the loan. Loan performance may be 
adversely  affected  by  factors  impacting  the  general  economy  or  conditions  specific  to  the  real 
estate market; such as geographic location and/or property type. 

•    Commercial  and  agricultural  loans  are  primarily  for  working  capital,  physical  asset  expansion, 
asset  acquisition  loans  and  other.  These  loans  are  made  based  primarily  on  historical  and 
projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the 
borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral 
securing  loans  may  fluctuate  in  value  due  to  economic  or  individual  performance  factors. 
Financial  information  is  obtained  from  the  borrowers  to  evaluate  cash  flows  sufficiency  to 
service debt and is periodically updated during the life of the loan. 

•   Consumer  and  other  loans  may  take  the  form  of  installment  loans,  demand  loans,  or  single 
payment  loans  and  are  extended  to  individuals  for  household,  family,  and  other  personal 
expenditures. At the time of origination; the Company evaluates the borrower's repayment ability 
through a review of debt-to-income and credit scores.  

(k)  Loan Commitments 

The Banks enter into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit 
and letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs.  Loan commitments are recorded when they 
are  funded.    Standby  or  performance  letters  of  credit  are  considered  financial  guarantees  in  accordance 
with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards and are recorded at fair value, if material.

(l)  Loan Servicing 

(r)  Income Taxes 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  determined  using  the  liability  (or  balance  sheet)  method.  

Under  this  method,  the  net  deferred  tax  asset  or  liability  is  determined  based  on  the  tax  effects  of  the 

temporary  differences  between  the  book  and  tax  bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities 

and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  The Company files consolidated Federal 

and State income tax returns. 

The  Company  may  also  recognize  a  liability  for  unrecognized  tax  benefits  from  uncertain  tax  positions.  

Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken 

in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured in the financial statements.  Interest and penalties 

related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  are  classified  as  income  taxes,  if  applicable.    No  liabilities  for 

unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions have been recorded. 

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through a sale of loans 
and are reported in other assets.  When the originating mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market, 
the  Company  allocates  the  total  cost  of  the  mortgage  loans  between  mortgage  servicing  rights  and  the 
loans, based on their relative fair values.  The cost of originated mortgage-servicing rights is amortized in 
proportion  to,  and  over  the  period  of,  estimated  net  servicing  revenues.    Impairment  of  mortgage-
servicing  rights  is  assessed  based  on  the  fair  value  of  those  rights.  The  amount  of  impairment  is  the 
amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value.  Fair value is determined 
using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash 
flows using market-based assumptions. 

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans.  The fees are based on a contractual 
percentage  of  the  outstanding  principal  and  are  recorded  as  income  when  earned.    The  amortization  of 
mortgage servicing rights is offset against loan servicing fee income. 

(s)  Comprehensive Income 

(m) Rate Lock Commitments 

Commitments  to  fund  mortgage  loans  (interest-rate  locks)  to  be  sold  into  the  secondary  market  and 
mandatory  delivery  forward  commitments  for  the  future  delivery  of  these  mortgage  loans  are  to  be 
accounted  for  as  derivatives  not  qualifying  for  hedge  accounting.    The  fair  values  of  these  mortgage 
derivatives are to be estimated based on the net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the 
loans and on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitments.  Changes in fair values 
on these derivatives are to be included in net gains on sales of loans.  The Company has deemed the effect 
of these derivatives to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, has elected 
not to record fair values associated with these derivatives. 

(n) Foreclosed Assets 

Accounting  principles  generally  require  the  Company  to  include  in  net  income  recognized  revenue, 

expenses, gains and losses.  Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on 

available-for-sale  securities,  are  reported  as  a  separate  component  of  the  equity  section  of  the  balance 

sheet, net of taxes.   Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. 

(t)  Earnings Per Share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  represent  income  available  to  common  stockholders  divided  by  the 

weighted-average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.    Diluted  EPS  reflects 

additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been 

issued,  as  well  as  any  adjustment  to  income  that  would  result  from  the  assumed  issuance.    Potential 

common  shares  that  may  be  issued  by  the  Company  relate  solely  to  outstanding  stock  options  and  are 

determined using the treasury stock method.   

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost 
of  disposal  when  acquired.    Subsequent  to  foreclosure,  valuations  are  periodically  performed  by 
management  and  the  assets  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  carrying  amount  or  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell.  
Revenues  and  expenses  from  operations  and  changes  in  the  valuation  allowance  are  included  in  net 
expenses from foreclosed assets. 

(u) Loss Contingencies 

(o) Premises and Equipment 

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, based on the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.  Depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful 
lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. 

(v) Transfers of Financial Assets 

(p) Bank-Owned Life Insurance 

The Banks have purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees and directors.  Bank-owned life 
insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. 

(q) Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Most  of  the  Company’s  activities  are  with  customers  located  in  the  area and  communities noted above.  
Note 3 details the types of securities in which the Company invests.  Note 4 details the types of lending in 
which the Company engages.  The Company does not have any significant concentrations with any one 
industry or customer. 

20

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising from time to time in the ordinary course of 

business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss 

can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that could have a 

material effect on the consolidated financial statements.   

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales 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 transferred assets, and (3) the 

Company  does  not  maintain  effective  control  over  the  transferred  assets  through  an  agreement  to 

repurchase them before their maturity. 

(w) Trust Assets 

Company. 

Assets  of  the  trust  departments  of  State  Bank  and  State  Bank  of  Herscher,  other  than  trust  cash  on 

deposit  at  the  Banks,  are  not  included  in  these  financial  statements  because  they  are  not  assets  of  the

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(x) Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

(cc)  New Accounting Standards (continued) 

Intangible assets attributable to the value of core deposits are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets. The excess of 
purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is not amortized. 

The Company evaluates whether goodwill and other intangible assets may be impaired at least annually; and 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of the 
reporting unit or asset is less than its carrying amount. 

(y) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  liabilities  represent  amounts  advanced  by  various 
customers.    Securities  are  pledged  to  cover  these  liabilities,  which  are  not  covered  by  federal  deposit 
insurance. 

(z) Stock Compensation Plans  

 Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards 

The  Company  records  the  cost  of  stock-based  employee  compensation  using  the  fair-value  method.  
Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the 
award at the time of grant.  The Company has historically assumed no projected forfeitures on its stock 
based compensation, since forfeitures have not been significant. 

(aa) Advertising  

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.   

(bb) Reclassifications  

Certain amounts in the 2015 and 2016 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform 
to the 2017 presentation.   

(cc)  New Accounting Standards 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The objective of 
this  standard  is  to  provide  a  common  revenue  standard  for  all  entities  that  enter  into  contracts  with 
customers to transfer goods or services or contracts to transfer nonfinancial assets.  This new accounting 
standard  is  effective  for  financial  statements  issued  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after 
December 15, 2017.  The Company is evaluating what impact this new standard will have on its financial 
statements. 

22

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment 

Accounting.  This standard simplifies various aspects of the accounting for the Company’s stock option 

plan. The Company adopted this new accounting standard for the year ended December 31, 2017. As a 

result of adopting this standard, the Company will recognize current and future excess tax benefits and tax 

deficiencies  as  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  in  the  income  statement;  has  made  an  accounting  policy 

election to account for forfeitures when they occur and has made an accounting policy election to apply a 

practical expedient when estimating the term of new stock options granted.  

In  December  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2017-08,  Premium  Amortization  on Purchased Callable 

Debt Securities.  This standard requires premiums on purchased callable debt securities to be amortized 

to  the  earliest  call  date.    The  Company  adopted  this  new  accounting  standard  for  the  year  ended 

December  31,  2017.  The  adoption  of  this  accounting  standard  did  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the 

Company's consolidated financial statements. 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets 

and Financial Liabilities.  This standard makes a number of changes to the recognition and measurement 

standards  of  financial  instruments,  including  the  following  changes:    1)  equity  securities  with  a  readily 

determinable fair value will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net 

income; 2) entities that are public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the method(s) 

and  significant  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial 

instruments measured at amortized cost; and 3) entities that are public business entities will be required to 

use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.  

This new standard is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for annual reporting periods, 

and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company does 

not believe the adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on its financial statements; except 

that  it will no longer disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value 

that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost; as permitted by the 

standard. 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  When this standard is adopted, the primary 

accounting  change  will  require  lessees  to  recognize  right  of  use  assets  and  lease  obligations  for  most 

operating leases; as well as finance leases.  This new standard is effective for financial statements issued 

for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  and  interim  periods  within  those  years.      The 

Company is evaluating what impact this new standard will have on its financial statements.

The following tables reflect the amortized costs and approximate fair values of securities at December 31: 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This 
standard  will  significantly  change  how  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  are  presented.    Such 
assets,  which  include  most  loans  and  securities  held  to  maturity,  will  be  presented  at  the  net  amount 
expected to be collected over their remaining contractual lives.  Estimated credit losses will be based on 
relevant  information  about  historical  experience,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and  supportable 
forecasts  that  affect  the  collectability  of  the  reported  amounts.    The  standard  will  also  change  the 
accounting  for  credit  losses  related  to  securities  available-for-sale  and  purchased  financial  assets  with  a 
more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination.  This new accounting standard is 
effective  for  consolidated  financial  statements  issued  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,

The Banks are required to maintain reserve balances, in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of 
Chicago, based upon a percentage of deposits.  The total required reserve balances as of December 31, 2017 
and 2016 was approximately $876 and $1,122, respectively. 

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains cash and due from bank balances in accounts with 
correspondent  banks.    Balances  in  these  accounts  may  exceed  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation’s 
(FDIC) insured limit of $250.  Management believes these financial institutions have strong credit ratings and 
that credit risk related to these deposits is not material. 

Interest-bearing deposits consist of certificates of deposit at other financial institutions.  Certificates of deposit 
are in denominations of $250 or less and are fully insured by the FDIC.  Certificates of deposit maturing in 
2018 totaled $5,307 and are included with cash and cash equivalents.

(cc)  Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards (continued) 

The following tables reflect the amortized costs and approximate fair values of securities at December 31: 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This 

standard  will  significantly  change  how  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  are  presented.    Such 

assets,  which  include  most  loans  and  securities  held  to  maturity,  will  be  presented  at  the  net  amount 

expected to be collected over their remaining contractual lives.  Estimated credit losses will be based on 

relevant  information  about  historical  experience,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and  supportable 

forecasts  that  affect  the  collectability  of  the  reported  amounts.    The  standard  will  also  change  the 

accounting  for  credit  losses  related  to  securities  available-for-sale  and  purchased  financial  assets  with  a 

more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination.  This new accounting standard is 

effective  for  consolidated  financial  statements  issued  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,

There were no held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.  

Unrealized  losses  on  securities  have  not  been  recognized  into  income  because  the  bonds  are  of  high  credit 

quality, management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is 

largely due to market interest rate fluctuations and current bond markets.  The fair value is expected to recover 

as the bonds approach their maturity dates and/or market rates.

The Company regularly evaluates various attributes of loans to determine the appropriateness of the allowance 

for  loan  losses.    The  Company  generally  monitors  credit  quality  indicators  for  all  loans  using  the  following 

internally prepared ratings: 

'Pass' ratings are assigned to loans with adequate collateral and debt service ability; such that collectability of 

the contractual loan payments is highly probable. 

'Special Mention' ratings are assigned to loans where management has some concern that the collateral or debt 

service ability may not be adequate, though the collectability of the contractual loan payments is still probable. 

'Substandard' ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability; such 

that collectability of the contractual loan payments is no longer probable. 

'Doubtful'  ratings  are  assigned  to  loans  that  do  not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability, and 

collectability of the contractual loan payments is unlikely.

The Company regularly evaluates various attributes of loans to determine the appropriateness of the allowance 
for  loan  losses.    The  Company  generally  monitors  credit  quality  indicators  for  all  loans  using  the  following 
internally prepared ratings: 

'Pass' ratings are assigned to loans with adequate collateral and debt service ability; such that collectability of 
the contractual loan payments is highly probable. 

'Special Mention' ratings are assigned to loans where management has some concern that the collateral or debt 
service ability may not be adequate, though the collectability of the contractual loan payments is still probable. 

'Substandard' ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability; such 
that collectability of the contractual loan payments is no longer probable. 

'Doubtful'  ratings  are  assigned  to  loans  that  do  not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability, and 
collectability of the contractual loan payments is unlikely.

The following table presents information regarding modifications of loans that are classified as troubled debt 
restructurings by class of loan that occurred during the years ended December 31:   

The  Company  has  acquired  purchased  credit  impaired  (PCl)  loans,  which  are  loans  that,  at  acquisition, 

evidenced deterioration of credit quality since origination, and the Company determined it was probable, at the 

acquisition  date,  all  contractually  required  payments  would not be collected. These loans are included in the

(8)  Premises and Equipment 

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Mortgage loans 
serviced  for  others  as  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  were  approximately  $342,567  and  $347,152, 
respectively.    Custodial  escrow  balances  maintained  in  conjunction  with  serviced  loans  were  approximately 
$3,645 and $3,498 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

The following summarizes the activity pertaining to mortgage servicing rights for the years ended December

(6)  Mortgage Banking Loan Commitments 

The  Company  enters  into  commitments  to  fund  residential  mortgage  loans  (interest  rate  locks)  at  specified 
times in the future, with the intention that these loans will be subsequently sold to third-party investors.  A 
mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest 
rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.  It is the 
Company’s  practice  to  enter  into  mandatory  delivery  forward  commitments  for  the  future  delivery  of 
residential mortgage loans to third-party investors when an interest rate lock commitment is granted.  These 
mandatory delivery forward commitments bind the Company to deliver a residential mortgage loan to a third-
party investor even if the underlying loan never funds.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 
approximately $296 and $2,269 in interest rate lock commitments outstanding.  As of December 31, 2017 and 
2016,  the  Company  had  approximately  $591  and  $4,537  in  mandatory  delivery  forward  commitments 
outstanding.    These  outstanding  mortgage  loan  commitments  are  considered  to  be  derivatives.    The 
approximate fair values associated with these derivatives were considered to be immaterial as of December 31, 
2017 and 2016. 

(7)  Foreclosed Assets 

Foreclosed assets net of valuation allowance consist of the following at December 31:

amortization of $729 and $417 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.    

The following table shows the estimated future amortization of the core deposit premium intangible asset for 

the  next  five  years.    The  projections  of  amortization  expense  are  based  on  existing  asset  balances  as  of

Equity securities included $806 (49.1% of plan assets) at December 31, 2015. 

The  Company  and  the  Banks  maintain  a  401(k)  plan  with  profit  sharing  features  covering  substantially  all 
employees  under  which  they  match  50%  of  eligible  employee  contributions  to  a  maximum  employee 
contribution of 6% of annual salary.  Total 401(k) expense was approximately $310, $300, and $257, for 2017, 
2016,  and  2015,  respectively.    Each  plan  participant  elects  how  the  employer  contributions  are  invested; 
whereby the participants choose between purchasing the Company’s common stock or investing in the plan’s 
investment funds. 

In addition, the Company and the Banks maintain non-qualified deferred compensation plans whereby certain 
directors  and  officers  are  provided  with  guaranteed  annual  payments  for  periods  ranging  after  reaching  a 
variation of retirement ages pending participant plan.  The compensation plans are funded by bank-owned life 
insurance policies which had an aggregate death benefit of approximately $53,878 and $53,710 as of December 
31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The Banks accrue amounts to be paid over the participant’s active service life.  
The accrued benefits were $1,620, $1,061, and $905 at December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.  Non-
qualified deferred compensation expenses were $639, $206, and $49 in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. 

The State Bank of Herscher sponsored a defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees 
that was terminated in 2016.  The plan called for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement; based 
primarily upon years of service with the Company and compensation rates.  To be eligible, an employee must 
have  been  employed  by  the  Company  for  a  period  of  one  year  or  more  and  be  21  years  of  age  or  older. 
Contributions  to  the  plan  reflected  benefits  attributed  to  employees'  services  to  date  as  well  as  services 
expected to be earned in the future.  The plan was funded in accordance with federal laws and regulations.

The investment policy included various guidelines and procedures designed to ensure assets are invested in a 

manner necessary to meet expected guidelines considering a broad range of economic conditions.  Central 

to the policy were target allocation ranges by major asset categories. 

The objectives of the target allocations were to maintain investment portfolios that diversified risk through 

prudent  asset  allocation  parameters,  achieved  asset  returns  that  met  or  exceeded  the  plan's  actuarial 

assumptions,  and  achieved  asset  returns  that  were  competitive  with  like  institutions  employing  similar 

investment strategies. 

The investment policy was periodically reviewed by the Company and a designated third-party fiduciary 

for investment matters.  The policy was established and administered in a manner that was compliant at all 

times with applicable government regulations. 

The  Company  acquired  the  defined  benefit  pension  plan  in  the  State  Bank  of  Herscher  business

The investment policy included various guidelines and procedures designed to ensure assets are invested in a 
manner necessary to meet expected guidelines considering a broad range of economic conditions.  Central 
to the policy were target allocation ranges by major asset categories. 

The objectives of the target allocations were to maintain investment portfolios that diversified risk through 
prudent  asset  allocation  parameters,  achieved  asset  returns  that  met  or  exceeded  the  plan's  actuarial 
assumptions,  and  achieved  asset  returns  that  were  competitive  with  like  institutions  employing  similar 
investment strategies. 

The investment policy was periodically reviewed by the Company and a designated third-party fiduciary 
for investment matters.  The policy was established and administered in a manner that was compliant at all 
times with applicable government regulations. 

The  Company  acquired  the  defined  benefit  pension  plan  in  the  State  Bank  of  Herscher  business 
combination.    Prior  to  the  acquisition,  the  benefits  of  the  plan  were  frozen  with  the  investment  plan 
objectives modified as the assets were transferred to more liquid and less volatile investment types.  In 
February 2015, the State Bank of Herscher’s Board of Directors formally voted for plan termination.

The  Company  and  the  Banks  maintain  a  401(k)  plan  with  profit  sharing  features  covering  substantially  all 

employees  under  which  they  match  50%  of  eligible  employee  contributions  to  a  maximum  employee 

contribution of 6% of annual salary.  Total 401(k) expense was approximately $310, $300, and $257, for 2017, 

2016,  and  2015,  respectively.    Each  plan  participant  elects  how  the  employer  contributions  are  invested; 

whereby the participants choose between purchasing the Company’s common stock or investing in the plan’s 

investment funds. 

In addition, the Company and the Banks maintain non-qualified deferred compensation plans whereby certain 

directors  and  officers  are  provided  with  guaranteed  annual  payments  for  periods  ranging  after  reaching  a 

variation of retirement ages pending participant plan.  The compensation plans are funded by bank-owned life 

insurance policies which had an aggregate death benefit of approximately $53,878 and $53,710 as of December 

31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The Banks accrue amounts to be paid over the participant’s active service life.  

The accrued benefits were $1,620, $1,061, and $905 at December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.  Non-

qualified deferred compensation expenses were $639, $206, and $49 in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. 

The State Bank of Herscher sponsored a defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees 

that was terminated in 2016.  The plan called for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement; based 

primarily upon years of service with the Company and compensation rates.  To be eligible, an employee must 

have  been  employed  by  the  Company  for  a  period  of  one  year  or  more  and  be  21  years  of  age  or  older. 

Contributions  to  the  plan  reflected  benefits  attributed  to  employees'  services  to  date  as  well  as  services 

expected to be earned in the future.  The plan was funded in accordance with federal laws and regulations.

Because  of  the  imminent  liquidation  of  the  plan,  the  Company  did  not  perform  a  computation  of  the 
benefit  plan  obligation  at  December  31,  2015;  instead  a  range  of  estimates  of  the  obligation  for 
liquidation was computed.  Management did not believe the pension benefit obligation at December 31, 
2015  materially  differed  from  the  liquidation  obligation  estimates.  As  there  was  no  certainty  on  the 
financial impact of liquidation due to various factors, including plan participant liquidation elections, the 
range was $1,595 to $2,511.  It was estimated the most likely scenario would result in an estimated payout 
of approximately $1,791 based on a combination of lump sum and annuities.  The Company had accrued 
a  liability  for  the  pension  benefit  liability  in  excess  of  plan  assets  of  $168  at  December  31,  2015.  This 
included the accrual for costs associated with plan termination totaling $44 as of December 31, 2015.  In 
2016 and 2017, the Company recorded expenses of $230 and $2, respectively, related to the final benefit 
expenses and other related costs, including termination.

The  Company  and  subsidiary  banks  have  had,  and  may  be  expected  to  have  in  the  future,  loans  or  other 

banking  transactions  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business  with  directors,  significant  stockholders,  principal 

officers, their immediate families, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly 

referred to as related parties).  In management’s opinion, these loans and transactions were on the same terms 

as those for comparable loans and transactions with non-related parties.   

Loans  to  related  parties  amounted  to  approximately  $17,761  and  $18,753  at  December  31,  2017  and  2016,

(15)  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations (continued) 

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk: 

Concentration of credit risk: 

The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to 
meet  the  financing  needs  of  their  customers.    These  financial  instruments  include  commitments  to  extend 
credit,  credit  lines,  letters  of credit, and overdraft protection.  They involve, to varying degrees, elements of 
credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. 

The  Banks’  exposures  to  credit  losses  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  by  the  other  parties  to  the  financial 
instruments,  for  commitments  to  extend  credit,  and  letters  of  credit  are  represented  by  the  contractual 
amounts of those instruments.  The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing 
letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. 

A summary of the contractual amounts of the Banks’ exposures to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31 is 
approximately as follows: 

  Unused lines of credit and other loan commitments 
  Commercial letters of credits 
  Performance and standby letters of credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any 
conditions  established  in  the  contracts.    Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other 
termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to 
expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash 
requirements.    The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in 
extending loan facilities to customers.  The Banks evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case 
basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based 
on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  counterparty.  Collateral  held  varies;  but  may  include  accounts 
receivable, inventory, crops, livestock, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing 
commercial properties.  

Standby,  performance  and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to 
guarantee  the  performance  of  a  customer  to  a  third  party.    They  are  considered  financial  guarantees  under 
FASB guidance.  The fair value of these financial guarantees is considered immaterial.   

The Company participates in the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (the "Program"). In addition 
to  entering  into  forward  commitments  to  sell  mortgage  loans  to  a  secondary  market  agency,  the  Company 
enters into firm commitments to deliver loans to the FHLB through the Program. Under the Program, loans 
are funded by the FHLB, and the Company receives an agency fee reported as a component of gain on sale of 
loans.  The  Company  had  no  firm  commitments  outstanding  to  deliver  loans  through  the  Program  at 
December 31, 2017. Once delivered to the Program, the Company provides a contractually agreed-upon credit 
enhancement and performs servicing of the loans. Under the credit enhancement, the Company is liable for 
losses  on  loans  delivered  to  the  Program  after  application  of  any  mortgage  insurance  and  a  contractually 
agreed-upon credit enhancement provided by the Program subject to an agreed-upon maximum. The agreed-
upon  accumulated  credit  enhancement  provided  by  the  Program  totaled  $2,642,  subject  to  an  agreed-upon 
maximum.   The fee the Company received for this credit enhancement was not material in each of the years 
ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiary  banks  provide  several  types  of  loans  to  customers  including  real  estate, 

agricultural, commercial, and installment loans.  The largest component of loans is secured by residential real 

estate,  commercial  real  estate,  or  other  interest  in  real  property.    Lending  activities  are  conducted  with 

customers in a wide variety of industries as well as with individuals with a wide variety of credit requirements.  

The Company does not have a concentration of loans in any specific industry.  Credit risk, as it relates to the 

Company’s  business  activities,  tends  to  be  geographically  concentrated  in  that  the  majority  of  the  customer 

base lies within the surrounding communities served by its subsidiary banks. 

(16)  Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $32,434 and $25,107 at December 31, 2017 and 

2016, respectively, and are collateralized by U.S. agencies, state and municipal and mortgage-backed investment 

securities with fair values of approximately $39,943 and $34,459.  The weighted-average interest rates on these 

agreements  were  1.05%  and  0.45%  at  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.    Securities  sold  under 

agreements to repurchase mature on a daily basis.

(17)  Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Reserve Advances and Other Borrowings 

Fixed-rate advances with rates ranging from .91% to 2.05% and .91% to 

2.64% and weighted average rates of 1.49% and 1.18% as of December 

31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Interest is payable monthly with 

principal due at maturity.

$19,000 

$13,450 

Advances  are  collateralized  by  1-4  family  mortgage  loans,  other  qualifying  loans  and  securities.    The  total 

amounts of collateral securing FHLB advances were approximately $83,183 and $80,797 as of December 31, 

2017 and 2016, respectively.  FHLB advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if they are repaid prior to 

maturity.    FHLB  advances  are  also  secured  by  $944  and  $2,846  of  FHLB  stock  owned  by  the  Company  at 

December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

The Banks participate in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Discount Window Lending Program.  Primary 

advances generally mature daily and bear interest at a generally approved rate in relation to the federal funds 

rate.    The  primary advance interest rate at December 31,  2017 was 200-basis points.  Outstanding advances 

were $0 at December 31, 2017 and 2016.  Advances are collateralized by investment securities pledged totaling 

approximately $9,257 and $10,270 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to the Federal Reserve Bank.  

On July 2, 2015, the Company entered into a $7,000 note with Bankers’ Bank for the purchase of the State 

Bank  of  Herscher.    The  noted  is  a  fixed  rate  at  4%  due  July  2,  2020  and  is  secured  by  common  stock  of 

Company subsidiaries.  The balance was $5,663 and $6,273 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with 

payments of $212, consisting of principal and interest, due quarterly. 

Other borrowings totaled $3,645 and $4,095 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and mature from 

2018 to 2024, at interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 3.50%.

(15)  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations (continued) 

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk: 

Concentration of credit risk: 

The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to 

meet  the  financing  needs  of  their  customers.    These  financial  instruments  include  commitments  to  extend 

credit,  credit  lines,  letters  of credit, and overdraft protection.  They involve, to varying degrees, elements of 

credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. 

The  Banks’  exposures  to  credit  losses  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  by  the  other  parties  to  the  financial 

instruments,  for  commitments  to  extend  credit,  and  letters  of  credit  are  represented  by  the  contractual 

amounts of those instruments.  The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing 

letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. 

A summary of the contractual amounts of the Banks’ exposures to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31 is 

approximately as follows: 

  Unused lines of credit and other loan commitments 

  Commercial letters of credits 

  Performance and standby letters of credit 

2017

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any 

conditions  established  in  the  contracts.    Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other 

termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to 

expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash 

requirements.    The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in 

extending loan facilities to customers.  The Banks evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case 

basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based 

on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  counterparty.  Collateral  held  varies;  but  may  include  accounts 

receivable, inventory, crops, livestock, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing 

commercial properties.  

Standby,  performance  and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to 

guarantee  the  performance  of  a  customer  to  a  third  party.    They  are  considered  financial  guarantees  under 

FASB guidance.  The fair value of these financial guarantees is considered immaterial.   

The Company participates in the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (the "Program"). In addition 

to  entering  into  forward  commitments  to  sell  mortgage  loans  to  a  secondary  market  agency,  the  Company 

enters into firm commitments to deliver loans to the FHLB through the Program. Under the Program, loans 

are funded by the FHLB, and the Company receives an agency fee reported as a component of gain on sale of 

loans.  The  Company  had  no  firm  commitments  outstanding  to  deliver  loans  through  the  Program  at 

December 31, 2017. Once delivered to the Program, the Company provides a contractually agreed-upon credit 

enhancement and performs servicing of the loans. Under the credit enhancement, the Company is liable for 

losses  on  loans  delivered  to  the  Program  after  application  of  any  mortgage  insurance  and  a  contractually 

agreed-upon credit enhancement provided by the Program subject to an agreed-upon maximum. The agreed-

upon  accumulated  credit  enhancement  provided  by  the  Program  totaled  $2,642,  subject  to  an  agreed-upon 

maximum.   The fee the Company received for this credit enhancement was not material in each of the years 

ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiary  banks  provide  several  types  of  loans  to  customers  including  real  estate, 
agricultural, commercial, and installment loans.  The largest component of loans is secured by residential real 
estate,  commercial  real  estate,  or  other  interest  in  real  property.    Lending  activities  are  conducted  with

The Company had federal funds purchased with its main correspondent institutions totaling $8,394 and $1,211 
as  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.    Federal  funds  purchased  generally  mature  within  one  day 
from  transaction  date.   The weighted average interest rate was 1.6% and  .8% as of December 31, 2017 and 
2016, respectively.  

(18)  Subordinated Debentures 

The Company issued $10,000 of Subordinated Debentures in the fiscal year ended 2012 that qualify as Tier 2 
regulatory capital (with certain limitations applicable) for the Company. The Company issued the Subordinated 
Debentures  for  capital  raising  purposes  primarily  for  the  redemption  of  preferred  stock  as  part  of  the 
Troubled Asset Relief Program.  The Debentures mature on August 30, 2019; and the Company may redeem 
some  or  all  of  the  Subordinated  Debentures  at  any  time  after  the  third  anniversary  of  their  issuance  in 
accordance  with  the  contract  price  limitations.  The  redemption  may  be  subject  to  approval  by  the  Federal 
Reserve and must be on a pro rata basis among all holders.  The terms call for interest payments to be made 
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December.  The annual rate of interest on 
the Subordinated Debentures is 6.00%. The interest payments can be deferred for so long as the Company or 
a  specific  Bank  remains  subject  to  any  regulatory  order  limiting  or  prohibiting  the  payment  of  dividends  or 
interest  on  indebtedness  of  the  Company,  including  the  Debentures.  If  interest  payments  are  deferred,  the 
interest will accrue until paid. The Company did not defer any interest payments and there was no deferred 
interest at December 31, 2017.  The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that are effective if the 
Company is in default on the debentures.

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) 

in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market 

participants  on  the  measurement  date.  The  standard  describes  three  levels  of  inputs  that  may  be  used  to 

measure fair value: 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company 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 

Level  3:  Significant  unobservable  inputs  that  reflect  the  Company’s  own  assumptions  about  the 

assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. 

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value: 

Securities available-for-sale:  The fair values of the Company’s securities available-for-sale are primarily determined 

by  matrix  pricing,  which  is  a  mathematical  technique  used  widely  in  the  industry  to  value  debt  securities 

without  relying  exclusively  on  quoted  prices  for  specific  securities,  but  rather  by  relying  on  the  securities’ 

relationship  to  other  benchmark  quoted  securities.    The  values  determined  by  matrix  pricing  are  considered 

Level 2 fair value measurements. 

Collateral-dependent  impaired  loans:    The  Company  does  not  record  loans  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis. 

However,  from  time  to  time,  fair  value  adjustments  are  recorded  on  these  loans  to  reflect  (1)  partial  write-

downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-

quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.  The fair value of 

collateral  dependent  impaired  loans  is  generally  based  on  recent  real  estate  appraisals.    Adjustments  are 

routinely  made  in  the  appraisal  process  by  independent  appraisers  to  adjust  for  differences  between  the 

comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a 

Level  3  classification.    Non-real  estate  collateral  may  be  valued  using  an  appraisal,  net  book  value  of  the 

borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s expertise and 

knowledge of the borrower and borrower’s business.  Fair value measurements prepared internally are based 

on management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and are 

therefore considered Level 3 measurements. 

Foreclosed assets:  Real estate acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are not measured at fair value on a 

recurring basis.  However, other real estate is initially measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) when 

it is acquired and may also be measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) if it becomes subsequently 

impaired.  The fair value measurement for each property may be obtained from an independent appraiser or 

prepared internally.  Fair value measurements obtained from independent appraisers generally utilize a market 

approach  based  on  sales  of  comparable  assets  and/or  an  income  approach.   Such measurements are usually 

considered  Level  2  measurements.    However,  management  routinely  evaluates  fair  value  measurements  of 

independent  appraisers  by  comparing  actual  selling  prices  to  the  most  recent  appraisals.    If  management 

determines significant adjustments should be made to the independent appraisals based on these evaluations, 

these  measurements  are  considered  Level  3 measurements.  Fair value measurements prepared internally are 

based on management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data 

and are therefore considered Level 3 measurements.

FASB  guidance  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.    In  cases  where  quoted 

market  prices  are  not  available,  fair  values  are  based  on  estimates  using  present  value  or  other  valuation 

techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate 

and  estimates  of  future  cash  flows.    In  that  regard,  the  derived  fair  value  estimates  may  not  be  realized  in 

immediate  settlement  of  the  instrument.    Accounting  guidance  excludes  certain  financial  instruments  and 

certain  nonfinancial  instruments  from  its  disclosure  requirements.    These  fair  value  disclosures  may  not 

represent the fair value of the Company. 

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  each  class  of  financial 

instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: 

  Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value (Level 1). 

  Interest-bearing deposits in other banks – term deposits:  The carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair 

value (Level 1). 

  Securities: See previous description in this footnote for securities available-for-sale.  The fair values of the 

Company’s  securities  held-to-maturity  are  primarily  determined  by  matrix  pricing,  which  is  a 

mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on 

quoted  prices  for  specific  securities,  but  rather  by  relying  on  the  securities’  relationship  to  other 

benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).   

  Non-marketable  equity  securities:    No  ready  market  exists  for  the  equity  securities  as  they  have  no  quoted 

market value.  The carrying amount of equity securities approximates its fair value (Level 3). 

  Loans  held  for  sale:    The  fair  values  of  loans  held  for  sale  are  based  on  commitments  on  hand  from 

investors or prevailing market prices (Level 2). 

  Loans:  For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair 

values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow 

analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar 

credit quality.  For fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans, see previous description in 

this footnote (Level 3). 

   Cash surrender value of life insurance:  The fair value is based on reported values by insurers (Level 1).  

  Deposits:    The  fair  values  disclosed  for  demand  deposits,  savings  accounts,  and  certain  money  market 

deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (Level 1).  Fair 

values  for  certificates  of  deposit  are  estimated  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  calculation  that  applies 

interest  rates  currently  being  offered  on  certificates  to  a  schedule  of  aggregated  expected  monthly 

maturities on time deposits (Level 3).

The  fair  value  of  each  option  award  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  a  closed  form option valuation 
model (Black-Scholes) based on the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on 
historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option 
exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.  The expected term of options granted is based on historical 
data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into 
account that the options are not transferable.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is 
based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant.

The  fair  value  of  each  option  award  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  a  closed  form option valuation 

model (Black-Scholes) based on the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on 

historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option 

exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.  The expected term of options granted is based on historical 

data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into 

account that the options are not transferable.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is 

based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant.

(23)  Regulatory Matters  

The Company and Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and 

state  banking  agencies.    Failure  to  meet  minimum  capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and 

possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on 

the  Company’s  financial  statements.    Under  capital-adequacy  guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for 

prompt  corrective  action,  the  Company  and  Banks  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve 

quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory 

accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the 

regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. 

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy  require  the  Company  and  its 

subsidiaries  to  maintain  minimum  regulatory  capital  amounts  and  ratios  (set  forth  in  the  following  table).  

Management  believes  that  as  of  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  and  the  Banks  meet  all  capital-adequacy 

requirements to which they are subject. 

As of December 31, 2017, all six Banks were categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework 

for  prompt  corrective  action.    To  be  categorized  as  well  capitalized,  minimum  capital ratios set forth in the 

table  must  be  maintained.    There  are  no  conditions  or  events  occuring  since  December  31,  2017,  which 

management believes have changed the capital categories of the Banks.

During 2012, the Company approved an equity incentive plan to promote the long-term financial success of 
the Company through stock based awards to employees, directors or service providers who contribute to that 
success.    This  equity  incentive  plan  permits  Company  management  to  approve  and  grant  a  maximum  of 
150,000  shares  of  common  stock-based  awards  in  the  form  of  any  combination  of  stock  options,  stock 
appreciation rights, stock awards or cash incentive awards.

the year ended 2017:

During 2017, 2016 and 2015, total compensation expense of $165, $178, and $142 (before tax benefits of $66, 
$70  and  $57)  was  recorded  from  amortization  of  restricted  shares  expected  to  vest,  respectively.    Future 
projected  compensation  expense  (before  tax  benefits);  assuming  all  restricted  shares  eventually  vest  to 
employees; would be $92 and $21 for years 2018 and 2019, respectively.  

(21)  Stock Repurchase Program 

In  October  2016,  the  Company’s  Board  of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing an 
aggregate repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of common stock at market price, each year.  In October 2017, 
the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing an aggregate repurchase 
of up to 100,000 of common stock at up to 110% of book value.  For the year ended December 31, 2016, the 
Company had repurchased 21,300 shares under this program.  There were no shares repurchased in 2017. 

The  purchase  price  for  the  shares  of  the  Company’s  stock  repurchased  is  reflected  as  a  reduction  to 
shareholders’ equity as treasury stock.
