Dear Stockholders,

The financial environment Foresight Financial Group and its many customers faced in 
2018 was profoundly affected by trade tariffs and overall rising interest rates. Foresight 
navigated this environment and produced the highest level of earnings, $11.4 million, 
ever recorded by our company while maintaining its steadfast commitment to the four 
constituencies  we  serve,  shareholders,  customers,  employees  and  communities.  The 
federal tax cuts had a positive effect on the 2018 reported earnings adding approximately 
$1.05 million to net income.

Basic  earnings  per  common  share  were  $3.09,  an  increase  of  22.12%  greater  than  the 
$2.53 per share reported in 2017, producing a return on average equity of 9.38% for 2018. 
The market performance of Foresight Stock in the past year increased 4.78% to $33.95 per share at December 31, 
2018. We improved our net interest margin by 0.07% despite the rising interest rate environment experienced in 
2018. We continue to diligently manage credit risk and net overhead expenses with a focus on improving future 
earnings and increasing shareholder value.  

We  continued  to  invest  in  technology,  human  capital,  and  facility  development  aimed  at  improving  future 
earnings of the company. We completed a majority of the scheduled technology upgrades and conversions 
by year end of 2018, allowing us to more efficiently service customers while enhancing the customers’ digital 
experience  throughout  the  member  bank  charters.  As  we  grow,  we  continually  recruit  or  promote  the  best 
talent  sourced  externally  or  internally,  a  prime  example  being  the  internal  promotion  of  Linda  Heckert,  as 
President of the State Bank of Davis in April of 2018. As we look to expand our market, future investments 
in  human  capital  will  be  prudently  executed.  We  completed  and  occupied  the  new  facility  constructed  by 
Northwest Bank, a Foresight subsidiary member bank in October of 2018. The prime location of this facility 
allows us to compete in the fastest growing area of Rockford.

In 2018 we saw a dividend increase of $.04 per share or a 15.38% increase from the year ending December 31, 
2017. Total Stockholder’s equity also increased 6.87% or $8.1 million to a year-end balance of $125.6 million.

The  Foresight  board  and  management  have  developed  a  three  year  business  plan  addressing  organic  and 
external  growth  opportunities.  The  enhancements  in  human  capital  and  technology  recently  made  will 
contribute  to  a  faster  more  efficient  deployment  of  new  products  and  the  integration  of  external  growth 
opportunities. The business plan also confirms the use of the Bank Charter model, keeping the Bank Charters 
operating as independent entities. 

The year of 2018 was a strong performance period for the company and shareholders that produced the highest 
level of consolidated earnings, the company’s largest reported earnings per share and an increase in dividends. 
It is with great appreciation to all shareholders, from myself and the Board of Directors of Foresight, for your 
steadfast support of our company.  We remain dedicated to increasing future shareholder value.  

Respectfully,

Rex K. Entsminger  
President/Chief Executive Officer

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

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. 

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

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, 2018 and 2017, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 
2018, 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.

2018 Annual Report Community Building Through Community BankingNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(000s omitted except share data) 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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:

(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  5, 2019, 
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 

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  but  also  include some 
balances  in  time  deposits  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. 

15

Community Building Through Community Banking 2018 Annual ReportNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(000s omitted except share data) 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(g)  Securities 

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 
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.

and  discounts 

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.

(j)  Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses 

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.

(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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.

(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

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

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.

(l)  Loan Servicing 

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. 

(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 

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. 

(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. 

(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.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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. 

(s)  Comprehensive Income 

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.   

(u) Loss Contingencies 

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.   

(v) Transfers of Financial Assets 

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 

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 
Company.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(x) Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

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  

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 2016 and 2017 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform 
to the 2018 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 adoption of this accounting standard  did  not  have  a  significant  effect on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(cc)  New Accounting Standards (continued) 

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 adoption of 
this  accounting  standard  did  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  Company's  consolidated  financial 
statements.; except that it no longer discloses the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate 
the fair value that was  required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost; as 
permitted by the standard. 

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards 

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.   

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, 
2020.   The Company is evaluating what impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial 
statements. 

In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value 
Measurement.  This standard will modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.  This new 
standard  is  effective  for  consolidated  financial  statements  issued  for  annual  periods  beginning  after 
December  15,  2019,  and  interim  periods  within those  annual periods. The  Company is  evaluating  what 
impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 (2)  Cash Equivalents and Interest Bearing Deposits 

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, 2018 
and 2017 was approximately $1,088 and $876, 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 
2019 total $5,527 and are included with cash and cash equivalents.  

Maturities of certificates of deposits at other financial institutions as of December 31, 2018 are as follows: 

2020 
2021 
2022 
2023 and thereafter

There were no held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

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.

concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider the modified loan is classified as a 
troubled  debt  restructuring.    Loan  modifications  may  consist  of  forgiveness  of  interest  and/or  principal,  a 
reduction  of  the  interest  rate,  interest  only  payments  for  a  period  of  time,  and/or  extending  amortization 
terms.  All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans.

(4)  Loans (continued) 

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 
carrying amount of loans in the Company's Balance Sheet. 

The outstanding balance and carrying amount of PCI loans for the year ended December 31 follows: 

Outstanding balance: 
   Commercial 
   Residential Real Estate

$3,091 

The carrying value of the PCI loans was $598 and $1,717 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

No increases to the allowance for loan losses were done for PCI loans during 2018 and 2017.  No allowances 
for loan losses  were reversed during 2018 and 2017. 

There was no change in the accretable yield related to PCI loans during the years ended December 31, 2018 
and 2017.  

Some PCI loans are not accruing interest income because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the cash 
flows expected to be collected. The carrying amount of nonaccruing PCI loans was $0 and $891 at December 
31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  

(5)  Loan Servicing  

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Mortgage loans 
serviced  for  others  as  of  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  were  approximately  $335,441  and  $342,567, 
respectively.    Custodial  escrow  balances  maintained  in  conjunction  with  serviced  loans  were  approximately 
$3,772 and $3,645 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

The following summarizes the activity pertaining to mortgage servicing rights for the years ended December 
31:

(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, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 
approximately $1,715 and $296 in interest rate lock commitments outstanding.  As of December 31, 2018 and 
2017,  the  Company  had  approximately  $3,429  and  $591  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, 
2018 and 2017. 

(7)  Foreclosed Assets 

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

(12)  Employee and Director Benefit Plans 

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 $341, $310, and $300, for 2018, 
2017,  and  2016,  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 $51,592 and $53,878 as of December 
31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The Banks accrue amounts to be paid over the participant’s active service life.  
The  accrued  benefits  were  $2,019,  $1,620,  and  $1,061  at  December  31,  2018,  2017,  and  2016,  respectively.  
Non-qualified  deferred  compensation  expenses  were  $476,  $643,  and  $206  in  2018,  2017,  and  2016, 
respectively.

(14)  Transactions with Related Parties 

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.   

Activity for related party loans for the years ending December 31, is as follows: 

  Balance at beginning of year 
  New credits  
  Repayments 

  Balance at end of year 

2018 

2017

2017, respectively. 

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

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet 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

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

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, 2018. 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  $2,547,  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, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

Concentration of credit risk: 

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 $27,754 and $32,434 at December 31, 2018 and 
2017, respectively, and are collateralized by U.S. agencies, state and municipal and mortgage-backed investment 
securities with fair values of approximately $49,038 and $39,943.  The weighted-average interest rates on these 
agreements  were  1.94%  and  1.05%  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively.    Securities  sold  under 
agreements to repurchase mature on a daily basis.

2018 and 2017, respectively.  FHLB advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if they are repaid prior to 
maturity.    FHLB  advances  are  also  secured  by  $989  and  $944  of  FHLB  stock  owned  by  the  Company  at 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018  was 300-basis  points.    Outstanding advances 
were $0 at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  Advances are collateralized by investment securities pledged totaling 
approximately $8,954 and $9,257 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 $5,028 and $5,663 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with 
payments of $212, consisting of principal and interest, due quarterly. 

On  June  27,  2018,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $5,500  note  with  Bankers’  Bank  for  the  redemption  of 
subordinated debentures.  The noted is a stepped fixed rate of 4.75% until June 27, 2023, then will adjust to 
the current Wall Street Journal prime rate until maturity with a minumum rate of 4.75% due June 27, 2025 and 
is secured by common stock of Company subsidiaries.  The balance was $2,875 at December 31, 2018, with 
quarterly principal payments of $63 plus accrued interest. 

Additional  other  borrowings  totaled  $3,313  and  $3,645  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively,  and 
mature from 2019 to 2024, at interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 4.75%.  

At December 31, the scheduled maturities of FHLB advances and other borrowings are as follows:

(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.    During  2018,  the  Company  elected  to  redeem  all  the  Subordinated 
Debentures in accordance with the contract price limitations. The redemption was subject to approval by the 
Federal Reserve.  Total subordinated debentures  were 10,000 at December 31, 2017, with an interest rate of 
6%. 

(19)  Fair Value Measurements   

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 
be corroborated by observable market data. 

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.

(000s omitted except share data) 

(19)  Fair Value Measurements (continued)  

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.

Collateral-dependent impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral, had 
a carrying value of $7,439 with specific reserves of $2,196 as of December 31, 2017.  

Foreclosed assets, which are measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, were carried at 
their  fair  value  of  $1,092,  which is  comprised  of the outstanding  balance  of  $1,304,  net of  an  allowance for

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.

(20)  Stock-Compensation Plans   

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  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  Company’s  accounting policy  is  to 
recognize forfeitures as they occur. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  25,000  shares  of  non-qualified  stock  options  granted.    No  options 
were granted for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. 

The  following  assumptions  were  used  in  estimating  the  fair  value  of  options  granted  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018: 

Expected volatility 
Expected dividend yield 
Expected term (in years) 
Risk free rate 

0.0084 
0.79% 
5.75 
2.8340% 

Based on these assumptions the estimated weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $3.70 
during 2018. 

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  the  Company  recognized  $8,  $18  and  $24  in 
compensation  expense  for  stock  options,  respectively.    No  tax  benefits  were  recognized  for  the  three-year 
period ended December 31, 2018.  The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 
31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $617, $472 and $280, respectively.   

The following table summarizes the activity of options for the year ended:

projected  compensation  expense  (before  tax  benefits);  assuming  all  restricted  shares  eventually  vest  to 
employees; would be $123 and $26 for years 2019 and 2020, respectively.  

Total  shares  available  for  grant  under  this  plan  were  78,455  and  108,685  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017, 
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  at  market  value  under  this  program.    There  were  no  shares 
repurchased in 2017 and 2018. 

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

(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,  2018,  the  Company  and  the  Banks  meet  all  capital-adequacy 
requirements to which they are subject.

(24)  Dividends 

State  banking  regulations  restrict  the  amount  of  dividends  that  a  bank  may  pay  to  its  stockholders.    The 
regulations provide that dividends are limited to the balance of undivided profits, subject to capital-adequacy 
requirements,  plus  an  additional  amount  equal  to  the  bank’s  current-year  earnings  through  the  date  of  any 
declaration  of  dividends.    The  payment  of  dividends  would  also  be  restricted  if  a  Bank  does  not  meet  the 
minimum capital conservation buffer as defined by Basel III regulatory capital guidelines. 

(25)  Lease Commitments 

One of the Banks had operating lease commitments on office space in Loves Park, Illinois.  The terms of the 
Perryville  lease  location  required  base  lease  amounts  of  approximately  $80  per  year.    The  lease  expired 
September 2016 and was renewed for additional terms with expiration in 2018.  The terms of North Second 
lease location requires base lease amounts of approximately $34 per year.  The lease expires September 2020 
and  is  renewable  up  to  two  additional  five-year  terms.    Rent  expense  of  $105  and  $122  was  recognized  in 
2018 and 2017, respectively.
