ANNUAL REPORT 

TO 

SHAREHOLDERS 

HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. 

Jefferson City, Missouri 

 
 
March 14, 2019 

Dear Shareholders: 

Net income for 2018 was $10.7 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for 2017.  Included 
in the 2017 net income is a $4.1 million charge, or $0.68 per diluted share, that includes $3.1 million resulting from application of the Tax 
Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (the  “Tax  Act”)  enacted  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2017,  and  $1.0  million  resulting  from  tax  planning  initiatives 
implemented  at  year-end  2017.    The  2018  net  income  reflects  a  43.5%  increase  in  non-GAAP  earnings  per  diluted  common  share 
excluding the impact of the Tax Act and tax planning initiatives. 

Although a portion of the increased earnings for 2018 resulted from the lower tax rate enacted by the Tax Act and tax planning initiatives, 
our pre-tax income also increased by $1.1 million, or 9.4%.  Loan growth continued to contribute to these increased earnings as net loans 
increased $77.4 million, or 7.3%, from the last year-end leading to a $1.7 million increase in net interest income over the prior year.  This 
growth was achieved without a deterioration in loan quality as nonperforming loans to total loans decreased from 0.56% at December 31, 
2017, to 0.49% at December 31, 2018. 

Our  2018  net  interest  margin  of  3.30%  continues  to  be  squeezed  by  increased  interest  expense  during  the  recent  rising  interest  rate 
environment although the last two quarters of 2018 have shown increases from the prior linked quarters compared to the 11 basis points 
decline year over year. Non-interest income of $9.3 million for 2018 increased $0.4 million, or 4.4%, from the prior year mostly due to 
increased service charge and bankcard income.  Non-interest expense of $40.3 million for 2018 was $1.5 million, or 3.9%, higher than 
the prior year. This increase over the prior year was mostly due to a $0.9 million increase in salaries and a $0.5 million increase in benefits. 
One-time bonuses paid to staff in the first quarter 2018 as a result of the benefits accruing from the enactment of the Tax Act contributed 
$0.4 million of the salary increase as did annual cost of living increases averaging 3%.  The increase in benefits was due to higher medical 
and pension benefit costs. 

As  of  December  31,  2018,  we  have  been  able  to  reduce  our  full-time  equivalent  head  count  by  45,  or  approximately  14%,  since 
December 31, 2017, most of which occurred in the latter half of 2018.  As a result, the cost savings from this reduction will be more fully 
realized in 2019. We continue to pursue initiatives to improve our efficiency ratio including right sizing our branch network.  To this end, 
we closed our Windsor branch during the fourth quarter 2018 and completed the sale of our Branson branch in February 2019. While 
these transactions are not expected to have a significant effect on loan or deposit volumes, they will further reduce head count and operating 
expenses. 

Our capital levels at December 31, 2018 continue to exceed regulatory well capitalized thresholds with 9.55% of leverage capital and 
13.28% of total risk-based capital. 

Maintaining strong asset quality while achieving sustainable growth and improving our net interest margin are our primary initiatives.  As 
is evident from this year’s financial results, we have taken proactive steps to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, which should continue 
into the coming year.  I am committed to further improving earnings performance; sustaining sound and proper capital levels; and paying 
regular dividends. 

Hawthorn's staff, management, Board of Directors and Advisory Board members are committed to the continued growth of our strong 
community bank and delivering long term value to our shareholders.  We appreciate your support and encourage you to continue to use 
Hawthorn Bank for your banking needs and request that you refer prospective customers to your bank. 

Sincerely, 

David T. Turner, 
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC. 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Overview 

Crucial to the Company's community banking strategy is growth in its commercial banking services, retail mortgage lending and retail 
banking services. Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), the Company, with $1.5 billion in assets 
at December 31, 2018, provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services.  The Bank's specialties include commercial 
banking  for  small  and  mid-sized  businesses,  including  equipment,  operating,  commercial  real  estate,  Small  Business  Administration 
(SBA) loans, and personal banking services including real estate mortgage lending, installment and consumer  loans, certificates of deposit, 
individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Other financial 
services that the Company provides include trust services that include estate planning, investment and asset management services and a 
comprehensive suite of cash management services. The geographic areas in which the Company provides products and services include 
the  Missouri  communities  in  and  surrounding  Jefferson  City,  Columbia,  Clinton,  Warsaw,  Springfield,  and  the  greater  Kansas  City 
metropolitan area. 

The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. Much of 
the Company's business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and residential mortgage lending. The Company's income 
from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancing activity. 

The success of the Company's growth strategy depends primarily on the ability of its banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level 
of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to 
revenues  generated.  The  Company's  financial  performance  also  depends,  in  part,  on  its  ability  to  manage  various  portfolios  and  to 
successfully introduce additional financial products and services by expanding new and existing customer relationships, utilizing improved 
technology, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the success of the Company's growth strategy depends on its ability to 
maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels during periods in which general economic conditions are unfavorable and despite economic 
conditions being beyond its control. 

The Company's subsidiary bank is a full-service bank conducting a general banking business, offering its customers checking and savings 
accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services, including commercial and industrial 
loans, residential real estate loans, single payment personal loans, installment loans and credit card accounts. In addition, the Bank provides 
trust services. 

The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the extent provided by law. The 
operations of the Bank are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of the Bank 
are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are 
principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to supervision and examination 
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(1)  Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loans, and loans contractually 

past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. 

(2)  Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned and repossessed assets. 
(3)  Efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense as a percentage of revenue. Total revenue includes net interest income and non-

interest income. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

The financial measures in the table below include items that are non-GAAP, meaning they are not presented in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. The non-GAAP items presented are non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP basic earnings 
per share, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP return on average assets and non-GAAP return on average common equity. 
These  measures  include  adjustments  to  exclude  the  transitional  impact  of  the  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (Tax  Act)  and  the  Company's 
implementation of new tax planning initiatives, which are non-recurring and not considered indicative of underlying earnings performance. 
The adjustments do not include the ongoing impacts of the lower U.S. statutory rate under the Tax Act on 2018 earnings. The Company 
believes that the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating the Company's underlying performance, but should not be

considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating performance utilizing GAAP financial information. 
The Company uses non-GAAP measures to analyze its financial performance and to make financial comparisons to prior periods presented 
on  a  similar  basis.  The  Company  believes  that  providing  such  adjusted  results  allows  investors  to  better  understand  the  Company's 
comparative operating performance for the periods presented. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the 
federal banking regulations, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by the Company. The Company 
has reconciled each of these measures to a comparable GAAP measure below:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of 
operations. These critical accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that 
are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove 
to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon 
the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be 
expected. The impact and any associated risks related to the Company's critical accounting policies on its business operations are discussed 
throughout  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations,  where  such  policies  affect  the 
reported and expected financial results. 

Allowance for Loan Losses 

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses (ALL) as critical to the understanding of the 
Company's results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could 
result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. Further discussion of the 
methodology used in establishing the allowance and the impact of any associated risks related to these policies on the Company's business 
operations  is provided  in  Note  1  to  the  Company's  consolidated financial  statements  and  is  also discussed  in  the Lending and  Credit 
Management section below. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS 

The Company has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, 
the Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and

period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

during the fourth quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate for 2017 was 69.8% compared to 13.5% for 2018 and 34% 
for 2016. The federal corporate income tax rate declined from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Act.

or  0.08%  of  average  loans  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  and  $143,000,  or  0.02%  of  average  loans  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016.

loans at December 31, 2017, and $3.5 million, or 0.36% of total loans, at December 31, 2016. 

Non-interest income increased $391,000, or 4.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 
2017, and increased $635,000, or 7.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. These

Average Balance Sheets 

Net interest income is the largest source of revenue resulting from the Company's lending, investing, borrowing, and deposit gathering 
activities. It is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amounts and mix of interest earning assets and 
interest  bearing  liabilities.  The  following  table  presents  average balance  sheets, net  interest  income,  average  yields  of  earning  assets, 
average costs of interest bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for each of the 
years in the three year periods ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

(1)  Interest income and yields are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 
2017 and 2016, net of nondeductible interest expense. Such adjustments totaled $658,000, $568,000 and $461,000 for the years ended December 31, 
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

(2)  Non-accruing loans are included in the average amounts outstanding. 
(3)  Fees and costs on loans are included in interest income. 

Financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 reflected an increase in net interest 
income, on a tax equivalent basis, of $1.7 million, or 4.01%, and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the 
year ended December 31, 2016 reflected an increase of $2.7 million, or 6.57%. 

Measured as a percentage of average earning assets, the net interest margin (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis) decreased to 
3.30%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  compared  to  3.41%  and  3.48%  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016, 
respectively. 

The increase in net interest income for 2018 over 2017 was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets and the decrease in the 
net interest margin was primarily due to a 41 basis point increase in the rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The prime rate 
increased to 5.50% at December 31, 2018 compared to 4.50% at December 31, 2017.

*  Total revenue is calculated as net interest income plus non-interest income. 

Total non-interest income increased $391,000, or 4.4%, to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2017, and increased $635,000, or 7.6%, to $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2016. 

Service charges and other fees increased $299,000, or 8.7%, to $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2017, and increased $37,000, or 1.1% to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2016. The increase for the year 2018 over the years ended 2017 and 2016 was primarily due to reduced waived 
service charges and increases in fees and ATM income resulting from deposit growth.  

Bank card income and fees increased $140,000, or 5.4%, to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2017, and increased $67,000, or 2.6% to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2016. The increase in all years presented was mainly the result of growth in debit card fees as a result of a higher 
volume of transactions year over year. 

Trust department income increased $29,000, or 2.6%, to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended 
December 31, 2017, and increased $185,000, or 19.4% to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended 
December 31, 2016. The increase year over year was primarily due to new trust customer relationships. 

Real estate servicing fees, net of the change in valuation of mortgage serving rights increased $54,000, or 7.3%, to $794,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, and increased $415,000, or 127.7%, to $740,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in the years 2018 and 2017 over the prior years 
presented was primarily due to higher MSR valuations resulting from slower prepayment speeds in a higher rate environment. 

Mortgage loan servicing fees earned on loans sold were $821,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $833,000 and 
$854,000 for the years ended 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company was servicing $279.9 million of mortgage loans at December 
31, 2018 compared to $285.8 million and $294.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Gain on sales of mortgage loans decreased $49,000, or 6.4%, to $721,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2017, and decreased $81,000, or 9.5%, to $770,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year 
ended December 31, 2016. The Company sold loans of $37.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $33.8 million 
and $37.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Although the volume of loans sold in 2018 increased 
from 2017, the marginal price of the 2018 volume was lower than 2017 leading to reduced income. 

Other income decreased $82,000, or 32.5%, to $170,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 
2017, and increased $12,000, or 5.0% to $252,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. 
The variances between the year ended 2018 over 2017 and for the year ended 2017 over 2016 were primarily due to changes in brokerage 
income. During 2018, the Company transitioned into a new relationship with a financial services provider causing a temporary disruption 
in brokerage services.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $77.2 million from proceeds from a series of short term sales of U.S. 
Treasury securities purchased with repurchase agreements and recognized gains of $253,000 in order to generate capital gains to offset 
capital losses that were to expire during 2018 and 2019.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  received  $11.7  million  from  proceeds  on  sales  of  available-for-sale  debt 
securities and recognized gains of $5,000, compared to $60.7 million from proceeds on sales of available-for-sale debt securities and 
recognized net gains of $602,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016. These transactions were the result of bond sales and purchases 
to replace several smaller holdings with fewer, larger investments without materially changing the duration or yield of the investment 
portfolio.

2016. The increase for the year ended 2018 over 2017 was primarily due to a bonus that was paid in February 2018 to all eligible full-
time and part-time employees as a result of the expected tax savings from the Tax Act, and 3.0% average cost of living increases paid in 
January

2018. The increase for the year ended 2017 over 2016 was primarily due to cost of living, merit salary increases, and a decrease in deferred 
loan costs. 

Employee  benefits  increased  $503,000,  or  9.2%,  to  $6.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  compared  to  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017, and increased $313,000, or 6.0%, to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended 
December  31,  2016.  The  increase  in  the  years  presented  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  pension  expense  due  to  lower  assumed 
discount rate and   increased medical plan premiums effective July 1 of each year.  

Furniture and equipment expense increased $318,000, or 11.9%, to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 
year ended December 31, 2017, and increased $900,000, 50.5%, to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the 
year ended December 31, 2016. Beginning December 2016, the Company began upgrading its data processing infrastructure to a hosted 
network environment. The process included changes in maintenance agreements, service providers, and equipment. 

Processing,  network,  and  bank  card  expense  decreased  $159,000,  or  4.4%,  to  $3.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, and increased $334,000, or 10.1%, to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in 2018 over 2017 was due to additional one-time costs associated with a 
corporate wide network upgrade and changes in processing service providers during 2017. This was partially offset by increased debit 
card processing expense during 2018. The increase in 2017 over 2016 was primarily due to a corporate wide network upgrade and changes 
in processing service providers. 

FDIC insurance assessment increased $134,000, or 28.0%, to $612,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 
2017, and decreased $89,000, or 15.7%, to $478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 
2016. The increase in 2018 over 2017 was primarily due to an increase in the Company's total assessment base. 

Advertising and promotion expense decreased $22,000, or 1.8%, to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the 
year ended December 31, 2017, and increased $172,000, or 15.9%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 
the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in 2018 over 2017 was primarily due to during 2017, the Company advertised and 
introduced new products and services, such as interactive teller machines, and a new branch in the process of opening in the Columbia 
market. 

Real estate foreclosure expense (gains), net decreased $246,000, or 61.2%, to $156,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared 
to the year ended December 31, 2017, and increased $32,000, or 8.6%, to $402,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 
the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Net  losses  recognized  on  other  real  estate  owned  were  $12,000  and  $232,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017, 
respectively, compared to a net gain of $21,000  for the year ended December 31, 2016. Expenses to maintain foreclosed properties were 
$144,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $170,000 and $391,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 
respectively. 

Income taxes 

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 13.5% for the year 
ended December 31, 2018 compared to 69.8% and 34.0% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As further 
described below, the decrease in tax rate for the comparative years is primarily due to a decrease in the federal corporate tax rate, the 
release of the valuation allowance related to capital losses as a result of the Company's tax planning initiatives, a pension contribution 
made during the second quarter of 2018 that was attributable to the 2017 plan year, and the Company's additional tax planning initiatives. 

The federal corporate income tax rate declined from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax 
Act). The Company's tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of tax-exempt income, the release of the valuation 
allowance related to capital loss carryforwards, a pension contribution made during the second quarter of 2018 that was attributable to the 
2017 plan year, and the Company's additional tax planning initiatives. The provisional adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 
related to the enactment of the Tax Act were finalized during the third quarter of 2018 with the filing of the Company's 2017 tax return, 
within the one-year measurement period provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 in regards to the application of FASB's ASC 
Topic 740, Income Taxes.

purchase commitment from the secondary market at a predetermined price. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold 
approximately $37.0 million of loans to investors compared to $33.8 million and $37.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 
and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the Company was servicing approximately $279.9 million of loans sold to the secondary 
market compared to $285.5 million at December 31, 2017, and $294.4 million at December 31, 2016. 

Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio 

Management,  the  senior  loan  committee,  and  internal  loan  review,  formally  review  all  loans  in  excess  of  certain  dollar  amounts 
(periodically established) at least annually. Loans in excess of $2.0 million in aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by 
management are reviewed by the senior loan committee. In addition, all other loans are reviewed on a risk weighted selection process. 
The senior loan committee reviews and reports to the board of directors, on a monthly basis, past due, classified, and watch list loans in 
order  to  classify  or reclassify  loans  as  loans  requiring  attention, substandard, doubtful,  or  loss. During  this  review,  management  also 
determines which loans should be considered impaired. Management follows the guidance provided in the FASB's ASC Topic 310-10-
35 in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be 
collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for 
impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed 
below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical 
loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration. Management 
believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of potential problem loans. Based upon these 
procedures, both the allowance and provision for loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered necessary by 
management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

(b)  Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate owned and repossessed assets. 
(c)  Loan totals do not include loans held for sale. 

Total non-performing assets were $19.3 million, or 1.68% of total loans, at December 31, 2018 compared to $19.2 million, or 1.80% of 
total loans, at December 31, 2017. Non-accrual loans included $2.0 million and $1.7 million of loans classified as TDRs at December 31, 
2018 and 2017, respectively. 

As of December 31, 2018, approximately $5.2 million compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2017, of loans classified as substandard, 
which include performing TDRs, and are not included in the nonperforming asset table, were identified as potential problem loans having 
more than normal risk which raised doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Management 
believes  the  general  allowance  was  sufficient  to  cover  the  risks  and  probable  losses  related  to  such  loans  at  December  31,  2018  and 
December 31, 2017, respectively. 

Total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2018 decreased $258,000, or 5.0%, to $5.4 million compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 
2017. The decrease in non-accrual loans primarily consisted of decreases in commercial, financial, and agricultural loans and real estate 
mortgage commercial loans, partially offset by an increase in real estate mortgage residential loans. 

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest at December 31, 2018, were $162,000 compared to $328,000 at December 31, 2017. 
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets at December 31, 2018 were $13.7 million compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 
2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, $628,000 of non-accrual loans, net of charge-offs taken, moved to other real estate 
owned and repossessed assets compared to $374,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2018, loans classified as TDRs totaled $5.0 million, with $543,000 of specific reserves, of which $2.0 million were 
classified  as  non-performing  TDRs  and  $3.0  million  were  classified  as  performing  TDRs.  This  is  compared  to  $6.4  million  of  loans 
classified as TDRs, with $577,000 of specific reserves, of which $1.7 million were classified as non-performing TDRs and $4.7 million 
were classified as performing TDRs at December 31, 2017. Both performing and non-performing TDRs are considered impaired loans. 
When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash 
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs if the loan is 
collateral dependent. The net decrease in total TDRs from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to approximately

The allowance for loan losses was $11.7 million, or 1.02%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2018 compared to $10.9 million, or 
1.02%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2017. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 208.97% at 
December 31, 2018, compared to 180.87% at December 31, 2017.

The  specific  reserve  component  applies  to  loans  evaluated  individually  for  impairment.  The  net  carrying  value  of  impaired  loans  is 
generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals and/or internal evaluations, or by discounting the 
total expected future cash flows. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At December 31, 
2018,  $1.2  million  of  the  Company's  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  allocated  to  impaired  loans  totaling  approximately  $8.5  million 
compared to $1.3 million of the Company's allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.4 million at 
December  31,  2017.  Management  determined  that  $2.1  million,  or  25%,  of  total  impaired  loans  required  no  reserve  allocation  at 
December 31, 2018 compared to $2.4 million, or 23%, at December 31, 2017 primarily due to adequate collateral values, acceptable 
payment history and adequate cash flow ability. 

The incurred loss component of the general reserve, or loans collectively evaluated for impairment, is determined by applying loss rates 
to pools of loans by loan type. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a 
consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type. The Company believes that the five-year look-back 
period provides a representative historical loss period in the current economic environment. These historical loss rates for each risk group 
are  used  as  the  starting  point  to  determine  loss  rates  for  measurement  purposes.  The  historical  loan  loss  rates  are  multiplied  by  loss 
emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the 
recognition of a loss. 

The Company's methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most 
recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk 
factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic 
conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due 
loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, loan concentrations, assessment 
of trends in collateral values, assessment of changes in the quality of the Company's internal loan review department, and changes in 
lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices. 

The specific and general reserve allocations represent management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the 
evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available 
to absorb any credit losses.

Provision 

A $1.5 million provision for loan losses was required for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $1.8 million for the year ended 
December  31,  2017,  and  $1.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016.  The  decrease  in  2018  over  2017  was  primarily  due  to 
improved credit quality and economic conditions used in assessing the risk in the portfolio. The increase in 2017 over 2016 was primarily 
due to losses observed in the look-back period in addition to an increase in loans outstanding.

Net Loan Charge-offs 

The Company's net loan charge-offs were $675,000, or 0.06% of average loans, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to net 
charge-offs of $799,000, or 0.08% of average loans, for the year ended December 31, 2017, and $143,000, or 0.02% of average loans for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Investment Portfolio 

The  Company's  investment  portfolio  consists  of    securities  which  are  classified  as  available-for-sale,  equity  or  other.  The  largest 
component, available for sale debt securities are carried at estimated fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses from available-for-sale 
securities are excluded from earnings and reported, net of applicable taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. 

The  Company  does  not  engage  in  trading  activities  and  accordingly  does  not  have  any  debt  or  equity  securities  classified  as  trading 
securities. Historically the Company's practice had been to purchase and hold debt instruments until maturity unless special circumstances 
exist. However, since the investment portfolio's major function is to provide liquidity and to balance the Company's interest rate sensitivity 
position, all debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. 

At December 31, 2018, the investment portfolio classified as available-for-sale represented 14.7% of total consolidated assets. Future 
levels of investment securities can be expected to vary depending upon liquidity and interest sensitivity needs as well as other factors.

(1)  Mortgage-backed securities have been included using historic repayment speeds. Repayment speeds were determined from actual 
portfolio experience during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 calculated separately for each mortgage-backed security. 
These  repayment  speeds  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  future  repayment  speeds  and  are  subject  to  change  based  on  changing 
mortgage interest rates. 

(2)  Rates on obligations of states and political subdivisions have been adjusted to fully taxable equivalent rates using the statutory federal 

income tax rate of 21%. 

At December 31, 2018, $20.9 million of debt securities classified as available-for-sale in the table above had variable rate provisions with 
adjustment periods ranging from one week to twelve months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Liquidity Management 

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors' withdrawal and borrowers' credit demands while at 
the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of 
those funds. Liquidity to meet the demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the 
ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors.  Due to the nature of services offered by the Company, management 
prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with customers. 

The Company's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for the 
Company's  liquidity  position  and  profile.  A  combination  of  daily,  weekly,  and  monthly  reports  provided  to  management  detail  the 
following:  internal  liquidity  metrics,  composition  and  level  of  the  liquid  asset  portfolio,  timing  differences  in  short-term  cash  flow 
obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital, and exposure to contingent draws on the Company's

Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair 
value of the available for sale investment portfolio was $218.2 million at December 31, 2018 and included an unrealized net loss of $4.4 
million. The portfolio includes projected maturities and mortgage-backed securities pay-downs of approximately $18.3 million over the 
next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in the Company's deposit base. 

The Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, federal funds purchase lines, securities 
sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase,  borrowing  capacity  at  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  and  for  other  purposes  required  by  law.  The 
Company's unpledged securities in the available for sale portfolio totaled approximately $65.2 million and $49.3 million at December 31, 
2018 and 2017, respectively. 

Total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows:

Liquidity is available from the Company's base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest checking, savings, money market 
deposit accounts, and time deposits less than $250,000, less all brokered deposits under $250,000. At December 31, 2018, such deposits 
totaled $1.1 billion and represented 89.9% of the Company's total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often 
tied to other products of the Company through long lasting relationships. Time deposits and certificates of deposit of $250,000 and over 
totaled  $113.4  million  at  December  31,  2018.  These  accounts  are  normally  considered  more  volatile  and  higher  costing  representing 
10.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2018.

The total amount of certificates of deposit of $250,000 and greater at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $104.9 million and $63.2 million, 
respectively. The Company had brokered deposits totaling $39.8 million and $9.8 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. The Company's 
outside borrowings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and subordinated 
notes. Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which the Company 
maintains approved credit lines. As of December 31, 2018, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to 
$42.0  million  in  federal funds  on an unsecured basis  and  $16.4  million  on  a secured basis.  There were  $8.0  million  in federal  funds 
purchased outstanding at December 31, 2018. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally borrowed overnight and are 
secured by a portion of the Company's investment portfolio. At December 31, 2018, there were $16.6 million in repurchase agreements. 
The Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window; although 
no such borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2018. 

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit 
products of the FHLB. As of December 31, 2018, the Bank had $95.1 million in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, the 
Company has $49.5 million at December 31, 2018 in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by 
preferred securities issued by the trusts.

At December 31, 2018, loans of $530.1 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of 
credit. At December 31, 2018, investments with a market value of $18.8 million were pledged to secure federal funds purchase lines and 
borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank. 

Sources and Uses of Funds 

Cash and cash equivalents were $42.1 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $62.9 million at December 31, 2017. The $20.8 million 
decrease resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company, as 
shown  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.  Cash  flow  provided  from 
operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $16.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Investing activities consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available for sale securities, and changes in the level of the 
loan portfolio, used total cash of $78.6 million. The cash outflow primarily consisted of $103.1 million purchases of investment securities, 
$79.3 million increase in the loan portfolio, and $8.8 million purchases of certificates of deposit in other banks, partially offset by $36.2 
million in proceeds from investment maturities, calls, and pay-downs, and $77.2 million in proceeds from sales of investment securities. 

Financing  activities  provided  cash  of  $41.5  million,  resulting  primarily  from  a  $55.2  million  increase  in  interest-bearing  transaction 
accounts and time deposits, and a $17.5 million increase in demand deposits, partially offset by a $26.2 net repayment of FHLB advances. 
Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 2019. 

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  enters  into  certain  forms  of  off-balance-sheet  transactions,  including  unfunded  loan 
commitments  and  letters  of  credit.  These  transactions  are  managed  through  the  Company's  various  risk  management  processes. 
Management  considers  both  on-balance  sheet  and  off-balance-sheet  transactions  in  its  evaluation  of  the  Company's  liquidity.  The 
Company had $352.0 million in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2018. Although the Company's 
current liquidity resources are adequate to fund this commitment level, the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of such 
a funding demand is very low. 

The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank, which must provide its own liquidity to meet its operating needs. The 
Company's ongoing liquidity needs primarily include funding its operating expenses and paying cash dividends to its shareholders. The 
Company  paid  cash  dividends  to  its  common  shareholders  totaling  approximately  $2.0  million  and  $1.5  million  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A large portion of the Company's liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. 
The Bank declared and paid $5.0 million and $2.6 million in dividends to the Company during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 
2017, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.3 million and $1.4 million, 
respectively. 

Capital Management 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 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  consolidated  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy 
guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and 
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company 
and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required 
by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for the Company began on January 1, 2015. The Federal Reserve System's (FRB) capital 
adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 4.5% 
of its risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 6% of its risk-weighted assets and a total risk-based capital 
ratio equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. In addition, bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Tier 1 
leverage ratio of at least 4%. 

In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all 
banking organizations. Institutions that do not maintain the required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent 
limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary 
bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in over four years beginning in 2016. 

22 

 
The capital conservation buffer requirement effectively raises the minimum required risk-based capital ratios to 7% Common Equity Tier 
1 Capital, 8.5% Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% Total Capital on a fully phased-in basis. 

Under the Basel III requirements, at December 31, 2018, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital 
ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as shown in the following table as of December 31, for the years 
indicated:

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected 
in whole or in part in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance-sheet credit related 
financial instruments. 

The  Company  provides  customers  with  off-balance-sheet  credit  support  through  loan  commitments  and  standby  letters  of  credit.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

Asset/Liability and Interest Rate Risk  

Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that 
monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity 
analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments 
on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability 
cash flows. 

The principal objective of the Company's asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance 
sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing earnings and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and 
capital. The asset and liability management function is under the guidance of the Asset Liability Committee from direction of the Board 
of Directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company's assets and 
liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, 
capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company. 

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes 
in  net  interest  margin.  These  scenarios,  known  as  rate  shocks,  simulate  an  instantaneous  change  in  interest  rates  and  use  various 
assumptions,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  prepayments  on  loans  and  securities,  deposit  decay  rates,  pricing  decisions  on  loans  and 
deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. 

Management analyzes the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net 
interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic 
value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of 
changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on 
net interest income. 

The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 200 and 100 basis point 
decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The improvement in our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to higher offering 
rates for repricing loans at December 31, 2018 and a decrease in short-term maturity borrowings from December 31, 2017. 

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our 
projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. 
The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response 
to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates. 

Effects of Inflation 

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since financial institutions 
make few significant capital or inventory expenditures, which are directly affected by changing prices. Because bank assets and liabilities 
are virtually all monetary in nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much as do changes in interest rates. The general 
level of inflation does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do prices 
of goods and services. Rather, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal 
policy. 

Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase capital at higher 
than normal rates to maintain an appropriate capital to asset ratio. In the opinion of management, inflation did not have a significant effect 
on the Company's operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Impact of New Accounting Standards 

Intangibles In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40) 
Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU 
aligns  the  requirements  for  capitalizing  implementation  costs  incurred  in  a  hosting  arrangement  that  is  a  service  contract  with  the 
requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that 
include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and 
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

Fair  Value  Measurement  In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-13,  Fair  Value  Measurement  (Topic  820)  -  Changes  to  the 
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for 
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the 
valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for 
the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period 
and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable 
inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be 
a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. 
ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company 
is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. 

Derivatives and Hedging The FASB issued guidance within ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities 
(Topic 815) in August 2017. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 to Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are intended to more closely align 
hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency 
as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The guidance also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how 
companies assess effectiveness. Under the new guidance, public companies will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is 
designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge's effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative 
effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high 
effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. Additional disclosures include cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges and the 
effect of hedging on individual income statement line items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the 
Update. The ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement 
of  Credit Losses  on  Financial  Instruments  (CECL).  The revised  accounting guidance will  remove  all  recognition  thresholds  and will 
require a company to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument 
and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. It also amends the credit loss 
measurement guidance for available-for-sale debt securities and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. This new accounting 
guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. While the Company generally 
expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting 
period in which the new standard is effective, the Company has not determined the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the 
overall impact of the new guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has formed a committee and is 
continuing to evaluate the impact of the ASU's adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Beginning in the first quarter 
of 2019, the Company plans to run parallel credit risk models to continue evaluating the results. 

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, in order to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing 
lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU primarily 
affects lessee accounting, which requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments for those leases 
classified as operating leases under previous GAAP.  For leases with a term of 12 months or less, an election by class of underlying asset 
not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities is permitted. The ASU also provides additional guidance as to the definition of a lease, 
identification of lease components, and sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments in the ASU are effective for interim and annual 
periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company's operating leases primarily relate to office space and bank branches.  

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and related transition guidance on January 1, 2019 and elected the package of practical expedients 
permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the carryforward of the historical lease 
classification, the practical expedient related to land easements and the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain 
lease term for existing leases. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less 
off of the balance sheet and recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease 

25 

 
term. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related transition guidance resulted in the recognition of additional net lease assets and liabilities 
of approximately $296,000 and $296,000, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The standard will not materially affect our consolidated net 
earnings or regulatory capital ratios. 

Callable  Debt  Securities  In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-08,  Receivables  –  Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs 
(Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the 
premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The ASU does not impact securities held at a discount; the 
discount  continues  to  be  amortized  to  maturity.  The  guidance  calls  for  a  modified  retrospective  transition  approach  under  which  a 
cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is 
adopted. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have an impact on the consolidated financial 
statements and related disclosures and no cumulative effect adjustment was required upon adoption.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors 
Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc.: 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Hawthorn  Bancshares,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  as  of 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial 
statements).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the 
Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), 
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – 
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated 
March 14, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

Basis for Opinion 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based on  our  audits. We  are a  public  accounting  firm  registered with  the  PCAOB  and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error 
or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the 
accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) through its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), provides a broad range of banking services 
to individual and corporate customers located within the communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, 
Springfield, and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial 
institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory 
agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments that, in the opinion 
of  management,  are  necessary  in  order  to  make  those  statements  not  misleading.  Management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions,  including  the  determination  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses,  real  estate  acquired  in  connection  with  foreclosure  or  in 
satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues 
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's management has evaluated 
and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. 

The  significant  accounting policies  used by  the  Company  in  the preparation of  the  consolidated financial  statements  are  summarized 
below: 

Principles of Consolidation 

In December of 2008, the Company formed Hawthorn Real Estate, LLC, (the Real Estate Company); a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company.  In  December  of  2017,  the  Company  formed  Hawthorn  Risk  Management,  Inc.,  (the  Insurance  Captive);  a  wholly  owned 
subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), the 
Real  Estate  Company,  and  the  Insurance  Captive.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in 
consolidation. 

Loans 

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity are held for investment at their stated 
unpaid principal balance amount less unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Income on loans is accrued on a simple-interest 
basis. Loan origination fees and certain direct costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield. 

Loans Held for Sale 

Loans originated, primarily one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, with the intent to be sold in the secondary market are classified 
as held for sale and are accounted for at the lower of adjusted cost or fair value. Adjusted cost reflects the funded loan amount and any 
loan origination costs and fees. In order to manage the risk associated with such activities, the Company upon locking in an interest rate 
with the borrower enters into an agreement to sell such loans in the secondary market. Loans held for sale are typically sold with servicing 
rights retained and without recourse except for normal and customary representation and warranty provisions. Mortgage loans held for 
sale were $583,000 at December 31, 2018 compared to $383,000 loans held for sale at December 31, 2017. 

Impaired Loans 

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, 
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Included in impaired loans are all non-accrual loans and loans whose terms have 
been  modified  in  a  troubled  debt  restructuring.  Impaired  loans  are  individually  evaluated  for  impairment  based  on  fair  values  of  the 
underlying collateral, obtained through independent appraisals or internal valuations for a collateral dependent loan or by discounting the 
total expected future cash flows.

Non-Accrual Loans 

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial condition, after consideration of business 
conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Loans that are contractually 90 days past due as to principal 
and/or  interest  payments  are  generally  placed  on  non-accrual,  unless  they  are  both  well-secured  and  in  the  process  of  collection. 
Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; 
otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. A loan remains on nonaccrual status until the loan is current as 
to payment of both principal and interest and/or the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current. 

Restructured Loans 

A loan is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers' 
financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. A TDR typically involves (1) modification 
of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate, loan principal, accrued interest, or an extended maturity date (2) a loan renewal at 
a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, or (3) debt that was not reaffirmed in bankruptcy. 
Nonperforming  TDRs  are  returned  to  performing  status  once  the  borrower  demonstrates  the  ability  to  pay  under  the  terms  of  the 
restructured  note  through  a  sustained  period  of  repayment  performance,  which  is  generally  six  months.  The  Company  includes  all 
performing and non-performing TDRs in the impaired and non-performing asset totals. The Company measures the impairment loss of a 
TDR in the same manner as described below. TDRs which are performing under their contractual terms continue to accrue interest which 
is recognized in current earnings. 

Allowance for Loan Losses 

Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of the Company's 
results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in 
materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. The fair value of impaired loans 
deemed collateral dependent, for purposes of the measurement of the impairment loss, can be subject to changing market conditions, 
supply and demand, condition of the collateral and other factors over time. Such volatility can have an impact on the financial performance 
of the Company. 

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible or a loss is confirmed. When loans become 90 days past 
due, they are generally placed on nonaccrual status or charged off unless extenuating circumstances justify leaving the loan on accrual 
basis. When loans reach 120 days past due and there is little likelihood of repayment, the uncollectible portion of the loans are charged 
off. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. 
If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan 
agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. 

The  specific  reserve  component  applies  to  loans  evaluated  individually  for  impairment.  The  net  carrying  value  of  impaired  loans  is 
generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals and/or internal evaluations, or by discounting the 
total expected future cash flows. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. 

The incurred loss component of the general reserve, or loans collectively evaluated for impairment, is determined by applying loss rates 
to pools of loans by loan type. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated by risk characteristics and reserves are recorded using a 
consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type. The Company believes that the five-year look-back 
period provides a representative historical loss period in the current economic environment. These historical loss rates for each risk group 
are  used  as  the  starting  point  to  determine  loss  rates  for  measurement  purposes.  The  historical  loan  loss  rates  are  multiplied  by  loss 
emergence periods (LEP) which represent the estimated time period between a borrower first experiencing financial difficulty and the 
recognition of a loss. 

The Company's methodology includes qualitative risk factors that allow management to adjust its estimates of losses based on the most 
recent information available and to address other limitations in the quantitative component that is based on historical loss rates. Such risk

factors are generally reviewed and updated quarterly, as appropriate, and are adjusted to reflect changes in national and local economic 
conditions and developments, the nature, volume and terms of loans in the portfolio, including changes in volume and severity of past due 
loans,  the  volume  of  nonaccrual  loans,  and  the  volume  and    severity  of  adversely  classified  or  graded  loans,  loan  concentrations, 
assessment of trends in collateral values, assessment of changes in the quality of the Company's internal loan review department, and 
changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge-off and recovery practices. 

Certificates of Deposit in other banks 

Certificates of deposit are investments made by the Company with other financial institutions, in amounts less than $250,000 each in order 
to qualify for FDIC insurance coverage, that are carried at cost which approximates fair values. 

Investment Securities 

Available for sale securities 

The largest component of the Company's investment portfolio consists of debt securities which are classified as available-for-sale and are 
carried at fair value. Changes in fair value, excluding certain losses associated with other-than-temporary impairment, are reported in 
other  comprehensive  income,  net  of  taxes,  a  component  of  stockholders'  equity.  Securities  are  periodically  evaluated  for  other-than-
temporary  impairment  in  accordance  with  guidance  provided  in  the  FASB  ASC  Topic  320,  Investments  –  Debt  Securities.  For  those 
securities  with  other-than-temporary  impairment,  the  entire  loss  in  fair  value  is  required  to  be  recognized  in  current  earnings  if  the 
Company intends to sell the securities or believes it more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before the anticipated 
recovery. If neither condition is met, but the Company does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, the Company determines 
whether a credit loss has occurred, which is then recognized in current earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment 
related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. 

Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the lives of the respective securities, with consideration of historical 
and estimated prepayment rates for mortgage-backed securities, as an adjustment to yield. Dividend and interest income are recognized 
when  earned.  Realized  gains  and  losses  for  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  included  in  earnings  based  on  the  specific 
identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. 

Other investment securities  

Other investment securities include equity securities with readily determinable fair values and other investment securities that do not have 
readily determinable fair values. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and Midwest Independent Bank (MIB) bankers 
bank stock, that do not have readily determinable fair values, are required for membership in those organizations.  

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Equity 
securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment. 

Capital Stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank 

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System administered by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is required to 
maintain an investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) in an amount equal to 12 basis points 
of the Bank's year-end total assets plus 4.00% of advances from the FHLB to the Bank. These investments are recorded at cost, which 
represents redemption value. 

Premises and Equipment 

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation applicable to buildings and improvements and 
furniture and equipment is charged to expense using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

lives are estimated to be 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and 
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 

Mortgage Servicing Rights 

The Company originates and sells residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and typically retains the right to service the loans 
sold. Servicing involves the collection of payments from individual borrowers and the distribution of those payments to the investors or 
master servicer. Upon a sale of mortgage loans for which servicing rights are retained, the retained mortgage servicing rights asset is 
capitalized at the fair value of future net cash flows expected to be realized for performing servicing activities. 

Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. 
As most servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices, the Company determines the fair value of mortgage 
servicing rights by estimating the fair value of the future cash flows associated with the mortgage loans being serviced. Key assumptions 
used  in  measuring  the  fair  value  of  mortgage  servicing  rights  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  prepayment  speeds,  discount  rates, 
delinquencies, ancillary income, and cost to service. These assumptions are validated on a periodic basis. The fair value is validated on a 
quarterly basis with an independent third party valuation specialist firm. 

In addition to the changes in fair value of the mortgage servicing rights, the Company also recorded loan servicing fee income as part of 
real estate servicing fees, net in the consolidated statements of income. Loan servicing fee income represents revenue earned for servicing 
mortgage loans. The servicing fees are based on contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and recognized as revenue as 
the related mortgage payments are collected. Corresponding loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. 

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets 

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is 
comprised  of  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  and  other  non-real  estate  property,  including  autos,  manufactured  homes,  and 
construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the fair value of the collateral less estimated 
selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. The Company relies on external appraisals 
and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, 
including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, 
valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The valuation write-downs are recorded 
as other non-interest expense. The Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned and repossessed assets 
on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than 
the cost of the asset. 

Pension Plan 

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees.  The benefits are based on age, years 
of service and the level of compensation during the employees highest ten years of compensation before retirement. Net periodic costs 
are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the retirement benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating 
to  its  pension plan based on calculations  that  incorporate various  actuarial  and other  assumptions  including  discount  rates,  mortality, 
assumed rates of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates.  The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and may 
make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so.  The Company believes that the 
assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plan are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. 

The Company follows authoritative guidance included in the FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Plans under the subtopic 
Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. ASC Topic 715 requires an employer to recognize 
the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in 
its consolidated balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive 
income. This guidance also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, with limited

exceptions. Additional disclosures are required to provide users with an understanding of how investment allocation decisions are made, 
major categories of plan assets, and fair value measurement of plan assets as defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and 
Disclosures. 

Income Taxes 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current 
period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial 
statements or tax returns. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided as temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset 
or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements at the enacted tax rate expected to be applied in the period the 
deferred tax item is expected to be realized. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most 
likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and 
recoverable taxes paid in prior years. 

The federal corporate income tax rate declined from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (Tax 
Act). The Company's tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of tax-exempt income, the release of the valuation 
allowance related to capital loss carryforwards, a pension contribution made during the second quarter of 2018 that was attributable to the 
2017 plan year, and the Company's additional tax planning initiatives. The provisional adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 
related to the enactment of the Tax Act were finalized during the third quarter of 2018 with the filing of the Company's 2017 tax return,  
within  the  one-year  measurement  period  provided  under  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  118  in  regards  to  the  application  of  FASB's 
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. 

The Tax Act resulted in stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive loss, for which new accounting guidance was 
issued under ASU 2018-02. This guidance allowed the Company to early adopt and retrospectively apply the reclassification of stranded 
income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the Company reclassified 
$1.2 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings resulting from the Tax Act. 

A  tax  position  is  initially  recognized  in  the  financial  statements  when  it  is  more  likely  than  not  the  position  will  be  sustained  upon 
examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is 
greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all 
relevant facts. Penalties and interest incurred under the applicable tax law are classified as income tax expense. The Company has not 
recognized any tax liabilities or any interest or penalties in income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018, 
2017, and 2016. 

Trust Department 

Property held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers is not included in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets, since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust department income is recognized on the accrual basis. 

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 

For  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated  statements  of  cash flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  short-term  federal  funds  sold  and 
securities sold or purchased under agreements to resell, overnight interest earning deposits with banks, cash, and due from banks. 

Stock-Based Compensation 

The Company's stock-based employee compensation plan (the plan) is described in Note 13, Stock Compensation. In accordance with FASB 
ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company measures the cost of the stock-based compensation based on the grant-
date fair value of the award, recognizing the cost over the requisite service period. The fair value of an award is estimated using the Black-
Scholes  option-pricing  model.  The  Company  adopted  ASU  2016-09,  Improvements  to  Employee  Share-Based  Payment  Accounting,  on 
January 1, 2017 and elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. Prior to the adoption of the ASU, the expense was recognized based on

an estimation of the number of awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered, and is included in salaries and employee 
benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The plan expired on February 28, 2010, except as to outstanding options 
under the plan, and no further options may be granted pursuant to the plan. All options were fully expensed as of September 30, 2017. 

Treasury Stock 

The purchase of the Company's common stock is recorded at cost. Purchases of the stock are made both in the open market and through 
negotiated private purchases based on market prices. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost 
associated with such stock on a first-in-first-out basis. Gains on the sale of treasury stock are credited to additional paid-in-capital. Losses 
on the sale of treasury stock are charged to additional paid-in-capital to the extent of pervious gains, otherwise charged to retained earnings. 

Stock Dividend On July 1, 2018, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to shareholders of record at the close of 
business on June 15, 2018. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted 
retroactively to reflect this change. 

Summary  of  Recent  Transactions  and  Events  On  February  8,  2019,  Hawthorn  Bank,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Hawthorn 
Bancshares,  Inc.,  completed  the  sale  of  its  branch  located  in  Branson,  Missouri  to  Branson  Bank,  Branson,  Missouri.  Total  deposits 
transferred were approximately $10.6 million while loans assigned to the branch were retained.  The Branson branch land and building 
were considered assets held for sale at December 31, 2018. The sale is expected to result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $2.1 million, 
$1.7 million related to the land and building, subject to certain future adjustments required in the definitive agreement.  

Reclassifications Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. 

The following represents significant new accounting principles adopted in 2018: 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. The implementation of the new standard did not have a material 
impact  on  the  measurement  or  recognition  of  revenue;  as  such,  a  cumulative  effect  adjustment  to  opening  retained  earnings  was  not 
deemed  necessary.  Results  for  reporting  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2018  are  presented  under  Topic  606,  while  prior  period 
amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under Topic 605. 

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain 
noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit 
card fees are not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust department revenue, 
service charges and fees, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and other real estate owned sales. However, the recognition of these 
revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are 
discussed in Footnote 16. 

Financial Instruments The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, in 
January 2016. The amendments require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized 
through net income, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of the 
investee. Additionally, these amendments require presentation in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair 
value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk for those liabilities measured at fair value. The amendments 
also require use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. These amendments 
are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU did not have a significant effect on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements. 

The FASB issued ASU 2018-04, Investments - Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): The amendment in 
this  ASU  adds,  amends  and  supersedes  various  paragraphs  that  contain  SEC  guidance  in  ASC  320,  Investments-Debt  Securities  and 
ASC 980,  Regulated  Operations.  The  amendments  in  this  ASU  are  effective  when  a  registrant  adopts  ASU  2016-01,  which  for  the 
Company was January 1, 2018. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

Liabilities The FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products, in March 2016, in order 
to address current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid stored-value product liability. Such 
products include prepaid gift cards issued on a specific payment network and redeemable at network-accepting merchant locations, prepaid 
telecommunication  cards,  and  traveler's  checks.  The  amendments  require  that  the  portion  of  the  dollar  value  of  prepaid  stored-value 
products that is ultimately unredeemed (that is, the breakage) be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance for stored-value 
product transactions provided in ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for interim 
and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the ASU did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated 
financial statements. 

Pension The FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement 
Benefit Cost in March 2017. Under the new guidance, the Company presents the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost 
in the same income statement line item (e.g., Salaries and Benefits) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered 
during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. The Company presents the 
other components separately (e.g., Other Noninterest Expense) from the line item that includes the service cost. The Company utilizes the 
ASU's practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in 
their pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote. The amendments were effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant 
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for further discussion.

The Bank grants real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans to customers located within the communities surrounding 
Jefferson City, Columbia, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. As such, the Bank is 
susceptible to changes in the economic environment in these communities. The Bank does not have a concentration of credit in any one 
economic sector. Installment and other consumer loans consist primarily of the financing of vehicles. At December 31, 2018, $530.1 
million of loans were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit.

Loans,  or  portions  of  loans,  are  charged  off  to  the  extent  deemed  uncollectible  or  a  loss  is  confirmed.  Loan  charge-offs  reduce  the 
allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. If management determines that 
it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to 
be  impaired.  These  loans  are  evaluated  individually  for  impairment,  and  in  conjunction  with  current  economic  conditions  and  loss 
experience,  specific  reserves  are  estimated  as  further  discussed  below.  Loans  not  individually  evaluated  are  aggregated  by  risk 
characteristics  and  reserves  are  recorded  using  a  consistent  methodology  that  considers  historical  loan  loss  experience  by  loan  type, 
delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration.

Loans evaluated under ASC 310-10-35 include loans which are individually evaluated for impairment. All other loans are collectively 
evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $8.5 million and $10.4 million 
at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as 
troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). 

The net carrying value of impaired loans is based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal 
evaluations,  or  by  discounting  the  total  expected  future  cash  flows.  At  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  $3.8  million  and  $4.0  million, 
respectively,  of  impaired  loans  were  evaluated  based  on  the  fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs  of  the  loan's  collateral.  Once  the 
impairment  amount  is  calculated,  a  specific  reserve  allocation  is  recorded.  At  December  31,  2018,  $1.2  million  of  the  Company's 
allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling $8.5 million compared to $1.3 million of the Company's allowance for 
loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $10.4 million at December 31, 2017. Management determined that $2.1 
million,  or  25%,  of  total  impaired  loans  required  no  reserve  allocation  at  December  31,  2018  compared  to  $2.4  million,  or  23%,  at 
December 31, 2017 primarily due to adequate collateral values, acceptable payment history and adequate cash flow ability.

The  recorded  investment  varies  from  the  unpaid  principal  balance  primarily  due  to  partial  charge-offs  taken  resulting  from  current 
appraisals  received.  The  amount  recognized  as  interest  income  on  impaired  loans  continuing  to  accrue  interest,  primarily  related  to 
troubled debt restructurings, was $199,000 and $256,000, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The average 
recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the years reported. 

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans 

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent 
once payments become 30 days or more past due. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, 
in the opinion of management, the ultimate collectability of interest or principal is no longer probable. In general, loans are placed on non-
accrual when they become 90 days or more past due. However, management considers many factors before placing a loan on non-accrual, 
including the delinquency status of the loan, the overall financial condition of the borrower, the progress of management's collection 
efforts and the value of the underlying collateral. Non-accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, 
the  financial  condition  of  the  borrower  indicates  that  the  timely  collectability  of  interest  and  principal  is  probable  and  the  borrower 
demonstrates the ability to pay under the terms of the note through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six 
months.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based upon an internal rating system reflecting management's risk assessment. Loans 
are placed on watch status when one or more weaknesses that may result in the deterioration of the repayment exits or the Company's 
credit position at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying 
capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that 
jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if 
the deficiencies are not corrected. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) when a borrower is experiencing financial 
difficulties that lead to the restructuring of a loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would 
not otherwise consider. Loans classified as TDRs which are accruing interest are classified as performing TDRs. Loans classified as TDRs 
which are not accruing interest are classified as nonperforming TDRs and are included with all other nonaccrual loans for presentation 
purposes. It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the collection 
of interest or principal is doubtful. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when (1) deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower 
exists for which payment of full principal and interest is not expected, or (2) payment of principal or interest has been in default for a 
period of 90 days or more and the asset is not both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received 
on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as 
interest income on a cash basis.

At December 31, 2018, loans classified as TDRs totaled $5.0 million, of which $2.0 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and 
included in non-accrual loans and $3.0 million were classified as performing TDRs. At December 31, 2017, loans classified as TDRs 
totaled $6.4 million, of which $1.7 million were classified as nonperforming TDRs and included in non-accrual loans and $4.7 million 
were classified as performing TDRs. Both performing and nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired loans. When an individual loan 
is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the 
loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of 
$543,000 and $577,000 related to TDRs were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

The following table summarizes loans that were modified as TDRs during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

(1)  The amounts reported post-modification are inclusive of all partial pay-downs and charge-offs, and no portion of the debt was forgiven. Loans 

modified as a TDR that were fully paid down, charged-off, or foreclosed upon during the period ended are not reported. 

The Company's portfolio of loans classified as TDRs include concessions for the borrower due to deteriorated financial condition such as 
interest  rates  below  the  current  market  rate,  deferring  principal  payments,  and  extending  maturity  dates.  During  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, ten loans meeting the TDR criteria were modified compared to six loans during the year ended December 31, 2017. 

The Company considers a TDR to be in default when it is 90 days or more past due under the modified terms, a charge-off occurs, or it is 
the process of foreclosure. There was one consumer TDR with a $3,000 balance, where a concession was made and subsequently defaulted 
and was charged off during the year ended December 31, 2018, within twelve months of its modification date. This is compared to one

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 366 securities at December 31, 2018. The portfolio included 317 securities 
having an aggregate fair value of $192.7 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2018. Securities identified as temporarily 
impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer had a fair value of $174.8 million at December 31, 2018. The $4.5 
million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2018 was caused by interest rate 
fluctuations. 

The total available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 355 securities at December 31, 2017. The portfolio included 280 securities 
having an aggregate fair value of $207.9 million that were in a loss position at December 31, 2017. Securities identified as temporarily 
impaired which had been in a loss position for 12 months or longer had a fair value of $114.6 million at December 31, 2017. The $3.3 
million aggregate unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017 was caused by interest rate 
fluctuations. 

Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, these investments were not considered 
other-than-temporarily  impaired  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively.  In  the  absence  of  changes  in  credit  quality  of  these 
investments, the fair value is expected to recover on all debt securities as they approach their maturity date, or re-pricing date or if market 
yields for such investments decline. In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments over the period of recovery, 
and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investment securities.

The  securities  underlying  the  agreements  to  repurchase  are  under  the  control  of  the  Bank.  All  securities  sold  under  agreements  to 
repurchase are secured by a portion of the Bank's investment portfolio. Under agreements with unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow 
federal funds up to $42.0 million on an unsecured basis and $16.4 million on a secured basis at December 31, 2018.  

During 2018, the Company had purchased U.S. Treasury securities with repurchase agreements in order to generate capital gains to offset 
capital losses expiring in 2018 and 2019. See Note 10 Income taxes for further discussion.  

The Company offers a sweep account program whereby amounts in excess of an established limit are “swept” from the customer's demand 
deposit account on a daily basis into retail repurchase agreements pursuant to individual repurchase agreements between the Company and 
its customers. Repurchase agreements are agreements to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. 
They are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions, not as sales and purchases of the securities portfolio. The securities collateral 
pledged for the repurchase agreements with customers is maintained by a designated third party custodian. The collateral amounts pledged

the purchaser in the private placement purchased $23.0 million in preferred interests. The proceeds were used by the trust to purchase 
from the Company its 30-year deeply subordinated debentures whose terms mirror those stated above for the TPS. The debentures are 
guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a subordinated guarantee. Distributions on the TPS are payable quarterly on March 17, June 17, 
September 17, and December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The trustee for the TPS holders is U.S. Bank, N.A. The trustee 
does not have the power to take enforcement action in the event of a default under the TPS for five years from the date of default. In the 
event of default, however, the Company would be precluded from paying dividends until the default is cured. 

On March 17, 2004, Exchange Statutory Trust I, a business trust and subsidiary of the Company issued $25.0 million of floating rate TPS 
to a TPS Pool. The floating rate is equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.70% and reprices quarterly (5.49% at December 31, 2018). 
The TPS are fully, irrevocably, and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company.  

The TPS represent preferred interests in the trust. The Company invested approximately $774,000 in common interests in the trust and 
the purchaser in the private placement purchased $25.0 million in preferred interests. The proceeds of the TPS were invested in junior 
subordinated  debentures  of  the  Company.  Distributions  on  the  TPS  are  payable  quarterly  on  March  17,  June  17,  September  17,  and 
December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The TPS mature on March 17, 2034. That maturity date may be shortened if 
certain conditions are met. 

The Exchange Statutory Trusts are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, the Company does not report the 
securities issued by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities, and instead reports the subordinated notes issued by the Company and 
held by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities. The amount of the subordinated notes as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $49.5 
million,  respectively.  The  Company  has  recorded  the  investments  in  the  common  securities  issued  by  the  Exchange  Statutory  Trusts 
aggregating $1.4 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the corresponding obligations under the subordinated 
notes, as well as the interest income and interest expense on such investments and obligations in its consolidated financial statements.

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 13.5% for the year 
ended December 31, 2018 compared to 69.8% and 34.0% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As further 
described below, the decrease in the effective tax rate in 2018 over 2017 and 2016 is primarily due to a decrease in the federal corporate 
tax rate, the release of the valuation allowance related to capital losses, a pension contribution made during the second quarter of 2018 
that was attributable to the 2017 plan year, and the Company's additional tax planning initiatives.  

The federal corporate income tax rate declined from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (Tax 
Act). The Company's tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of tax-exempt income, the release of the valuation 
allowance related to capital loss carryforwards, and a pension contribution made during the second quarter of 2018 that was attributable 
to the 2017 plan year, and the Company's additional tax planning initiatives. The provisional adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter 
of 2017 related to the enactment of the Tax Act were finalized during the third quarter of 2018 with the filing of the Company's 2017 tax 
return, within the one-year measurement period provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 in regards to the application of FASB's 
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The finalization of the Company's Tax Act adjustments included a $343,000 benefit, while the Company's 
additional tax planning initiatives included a $143,000 benefit. The total benefits are comprised of $306,000 benefit attributable to the 
pension contribution discussed above and a $180,000 benefit attributable to various accounting method changes made on the Company's 
2017 tax return. Such adjustments were recorded in the second and third quarters of 2018 respectively.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character 
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax 
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning initiatives in making this assessment. In management's opinion, the Company 
will more likely than not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets and, therefore, has not established a valuation allowance against its 
deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018. Management arrived at this conclusion based upon the level of historical taxable income and 
projections for future taxable income of the appropriate character over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. As 
indicated above, the Company released a $46,000 valuation allowance against certain capital loss carryforwards during the second quarter 
of 2018 as a result of the execution of certain tax planning initiatives that generated sufficient capital gain income prior to the expiration 
of the carryforwards.  

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. For each of the years 
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions, and did not record any related 
tax liabilities.

Other Plans 

On November 7, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) which became 
effective on January 1, 2018. The SERP provides select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirement with certain benefits upon 
retirement, termination of employment or death.  

As of the year ended December 31, 2018, the accrued liability and expense for this plan was $320,000, and is recognized over the required 
service period. 

Pension 

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees. An employer is required to recognize 
the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded 
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company's funding policy for the defined benefit 
pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities 
over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made 
in a particular year. The Company  made a pension contribution in the amount of $1.8 million on May 10, 2018. There was no 2019 
minimum required contribution for the 2018 plan year, and the Company has not determined if will make more than the minimum required 
contribution. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company amended the pension plan to effectuate a “soft freeze” such that no individual hired (or 
rehired in the case of a former employee) by the Company after September 30, 2017, whether or not such individual is or was a vested 
member in the plan, will be eligible to be an active member and be entitled to accrue any benefits under the plan.

(a)  The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component are included in other non-interest expense.  

Net periodic pension benefit costs include interest costs based on an assumed discount rate, the expected return on plan assets based on 
actuarially derived market-related values, and the amortization of net actuarial losses. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs include 
service  costs,  interest  costs  based  on  an  assumed  discount  rate,  and  the  amortization  of  prior  service  credits  and  net  actuarial  gains. 
Differences between expected and actual results in each year are included in the net actuarial gain or loss amount, which is recognized in 
other comprehensive income. The net actuarial gain or loss in excess of a 10% corridor is amortized in net periodic benefit cost over the 
average remaining service period of active participants in the Plans. The prior service credit is amortized over the average remaining 
service period to full eligibility for participating employees expected to receive benefits. 

Amounts not yet reflected in net periodic benefit cost and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2018 and 
2017 are shown below, including amounts recognized in other comprehensive income during the periods. All amounts are shown on a 
pre-tax basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

The  assumed  overall  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  pension  plan  assets  used  in  calculating  2018  pension  expense  was  6.75%. 
Determination of the plan's rate of return is based upon historical returns for equities and fixed income indexes. During the past five years, 
the Company's plan assets have experienced the following annual returns: -6.2% in 2018, 17.4% in 2017, 8.2% in 2016, -0.4% in 2015, 
and 8.3% in 2014. The rate used in plan calculations may be adjusted by management for current trends in the economic environment. 
With a traditional investment mix of over half of the plan's investments in equities, the actual return for any one plan year may fluctuate 
significantly with changes in the stock market. Primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used in the actuarial calculation of plan 
income, the Company expects to incur $1.5 million of expense in 2019 compared to $1.7 million 2018. 

Plan Assets 

The investment policy of the pension plan is designed for growth in value while minimizing risk to the overall portfolio. The Company 
diversifies the assets through investments in domestic fixed income securities and domestic and international equity securities. The assets 
are readily marketable and can be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable. The Company regularly reviews its 
policies on the investment mix and may make changes depending on economic conditions and perceived investment mix. 

The fair value of the Company's pension plan assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 by asset category was as follows:

Options have been adjusted to reflect a 4% stock dividend paid on July 1, 2018. 

Total  stock-based  compensation  expense  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2017,  and  2016  was  zero,  $3,000,  and  $17,000, 
respectively.  There  is  no  remaining  unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  non-vested  stock  awards.  The  Plan  expired  on 
February 28, 2010, except as to outstanding options under the Plan, and no further options may be granted pursuant to the Plan. During 
the third quarter of 2018, the remaining 20,909 options to purchase common shares were exercised at a weighted average price of $14.20 
a share. 

(14)   Earnings per Share 

Stock Dividend On July 1, 2018, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to common shareholders of record at the close 
of business on June 15, 2018. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted 
retroactively to reflect this change. 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding 
during the year. 

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share, which have been restated 
for all stock dividends.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company's common stock, 
when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when the 
Company has a loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of 
dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of 
such stock during the period. 

The following options to purchase shares during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were not included in the respective 
computations of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the option, when combined with the effect of the unamortized

(15)   Capital Requirements 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 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  consolidated  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy 
guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and 
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company 
and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required 
by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for the Company began on January 1, 2015. The Federal Reserve System's (FRB) capital 
adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 4.5% 
of its risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 6% of its risk-weighted assets and a total risk-based capital 
ratio equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets.  In addition, bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Tier 1 
leverage ratio of at least 4%. 

In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all 
banking organizations. Institutions that do not maintain the required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent 
limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary 
bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in over four years beginning in 
2016. On January 1, 2016, the first phase of the requirement went into effect at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and the requirement will 
increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625 percentage points, to reach its final level of 2.5% of risk weighted assets on January 1, 
2019. Once fully phase in , the  capital conservation buffer requirement effectively raises the minimum required risk-based capital ratios 
to 7% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, 8.5% Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% Total Capital on a fully phased-in basis.

(16)   Fair Value Measurements 

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous 
market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair 
value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize 
the use of unobservable inputs.  

The fair value hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows: 

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. 
These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are 
observable at commonly quoted intervals. 

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed 
using the Company's best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider. 

ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have 
significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly. 

The Company is required to disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis separate from those measured 
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real 
estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that 
impairment may have occurred. 

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis 

Following is a description of the Company's valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring 
basis: 

Available-for-sale securities 

The fair value measurements of the Company's investment securities are determined by a third party pricing service which considers 
observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade 
execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things. 
The  fair  value  measurements  are  subject  to  independent  verification  to  another  pricing  source  by  management  each  quarter  for 
reasonableness. 

Mortgage servicing rights 

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of estimated future cash flows utilizing contractual cash 
flows, servicing rates, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based 
on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions 
that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates,

cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees. The valuation models estimate the present value 
of estimated future net servicing income. The Company classifies its servicing rights as Level 3.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis 

Following is a description of the Company's valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a 
nonrecurring basis: 

Collateral dependent impaired loans 

While the overall loan portfolio is not carried at fair value, the Company periodically records nonrecurring adjustments to the 
carrying value of impaired loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those 
loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans when establishing the 
allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. In 
determining the fair value of real estate collateral, the Company relies on external and internal appraisals of property values 
depending on the size and complexity of the real estate collateral. The appraisals may be discounted based on the Company's 
historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal, or other information available. The Company 
maintains staff that is trained to perform in-house evaluations and also review third party appraisal reports for reasonableness. In 
the  case  of  non-real  estate  collateral,  reliance  is  placed  on  a  variety  of  sources,  including  external  estimates  of  value  and 
judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists. Fair values of all loan collateral are regularly reviewed 
by senior loan committee. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of 
December 31, 2018, the Company identified $3.8 million in impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating 
$867,000. Related to these loans, there were $370,000 in charge-offs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018. As of 
December 31, 2017, the Company identified $4.0 million in impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating 
$870,000. Related to these loans, there  were $788,000 in charge-offs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets 

Other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets consisted of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. 
This  collateral  is  comprised  of  commercial  and  residential  real  estate  and  other  non-real  estate  property,  including  autos, 
manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets initially are carried at fair value of the 
collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent 
state  certified  appraisers.  Like  impaired  loans,  appraisals  on  OREO  may  be  discounted  based  on  the  Company's  historical 
knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available. During the holding period, 
valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs 
are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

Loans 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, 
real estate, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value 
of loans, or exit price, is estimated by using the future value of discounted cash flows using comparable market rates for similar 
types of loan products and adjusted for market factors. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for 
similar  types  of  loan  products  adjusted  to  be  commensurate  with  the  credit  risk,  overhead  costs,  and  optionality  of  such 
instruments. 

Investment Securities 

A detailed description of the fair value measurement of the debt instruments in the available-for-sale sections of the investment 
security portfolio is provided in the Fair Value Measurement section above. A schedule of investment securities by category and 
maturity is provided in the notes on Investment Securities. 

Other investment securities  

Other investment securities include equity securities with readily determinable fair values and other investment securities that do 
not have readily determinable fair values. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and Midwest Independent 
Bank  (MIB)  bankers  bank  stock,  that  do  not  have  readily  determinable  fair  values,  are  required  for  membership  in  those 
organizations.  

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. 
Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for impairment.  

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks 

The  carrying  amounts  of  short-term  federal  funds  sold  and  securities  purchased  under  agreements  to  resell,  interest  earning 
deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under 
agreements to resell classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less. 

Certificates of Deposit in other banks 

Certificates of deposit are other investments made by the Company with other financial institutions that are carried at cost.   

Cash Surrender Value – Life Insurance 

The fair value of Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) approximates the carrying amount. Upon liquidation of these investments, 
the Company would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount. 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable 

For  accrued  interest  receivable  and  payable,  the  carrying  amount  is  a  reasonable  estimate  of  fair  value  because  of  the  short 
maturity for these financial instruments. 

Deposits 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money 
market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual 
cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds purchased and Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase  

For Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of 
fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period. 

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings 

The  fair  value  of  subordinated  notes  and  other  borrowings  is  based  on  the  discounted  value  of  contractual  cash  flows.  The 
discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments 

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into 
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such 
financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been 
made on terms that are competitive in the markets in which it operates. 

Limitations 

The  fair  value  estimates  provided  are  made  at  a  point  in  time  based  on  market  information  and  information  about  the  financial 
instruments.  Because  no  market  exists  for  a  portion  of  the  Company's  financial  instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are  based  on 
judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss  experience,  current  economic  conditions,  risk  characteristics  of  various  financial 
instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment 
and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

(18)   Commitments and Contingencies 

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of 
its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may 
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. 

The Company's extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party 
to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these 
instruments.  The  Company  uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  financial 
instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2018, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses 
for these financial instruments. 

The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

Commitments 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the 
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain 
of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily 
represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of 
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the 
customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate. 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. 
These  standby  letters  of  credit  are  primarily  issued  to  support  contractual  obligations  of  the  Company's  customers.  The  approximate 
remaining term of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years at December 31, 2018. 

Pending Litigation 

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company's past and current business activities. 
Based on the Company's analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that 
it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial condition or results 
of operations in the near term. The Company records a loss accrual for all legal matters for which it deems a loss is probable and can be 
reasonably estimated. Some legal matters, which are at early stages in the legal process, have not yet progressed to the point where a loss 
amount can be estimated. 

(19)   Revenue Recognition 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent 
ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the implementation of the new standard 
did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained 
earnings was not deemed necessary.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain 
noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit 
card fees are not in the scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust department revenue, 
service charges and fees, debit card income, ATM surcharge income, and sales of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of 
these  revenue  streams  did  not  change  current  business  practices  or  result  in  any  changes  to  the  Company's  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

Descriptions  of  our  revenue-generating  activities  within  the  scope  of  this  guidance,  which  are  presented  in  our  income  statement  as 
components of noninterest income are as follows: 

Trust Department Revenue 

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other 
customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, 
based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few 
days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional 
services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. 
The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a 
point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered. 

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts 

Service  charges  on  deposit  accounts  consist  of  account  analysis  fees  (i.e.,  net  fees  earned  on  analyzed  business  and  public  checking 
accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account 
analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is 
provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance 
obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily 
received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. 

Fees, Exchange, and Other Service Charges 

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, 
and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit 
and  credit  cards  are  processed  through  card  payment  networks  such  as  Visa.  ATM  fees  are  primarily  generated  when  a  Company 
cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents 
fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges 
include  revenue  from  processing  wire  transfers,  bill  pay  service,  cashier’s  checks,  and  other  services.  The  Company’s  performance 
obligation  for  fees,  exchange,  and  other  service  charges  are  largely  satisfied,  and  related  revenue  recognized,  when  the  services  are 
rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.  

Gains/Losses on Sales of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) 

The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs 
at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is 
committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria 
are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.

The  board  of  directors  intends  that  the  Company  will  continue  to  pay  quarterly  dividends.  The  actual  amount  of  quarterly 
dividends and the payment, as well as the amount, of any special dividend ultimately will depend on the payment of sufficient 
dividends by the subsidiary Bank to the Company. The payment by the Bank of dividends to the Company will depend upon 
such factors as the Bank's financial condition, results of operations and current and anticipated cash needs, including capital 
requirements.
