April 5, 2021

Dear Valued Shareholders, 

Amidst  the  happenings  of  2020,  I  am  pleased  to  report  another 
successful  year  for  your  community  bank. The  COVID-19  response  by 
your  Heartland  community  bankers  was  simply  amazing,  and  some 
of  the  steps  taken  in  this  time  benefited  shareholders.  We  upgraded 
our  digital  platform,  closed  on  our  first  acquisition,  and  completed  a 
conversion of that client base all while learning to work from home and 
socially distance. We’re now in the residential mortgage and servicing 
business  in  a  big  way  as  our  focus  on  noninterest  income  continues. 
We were also able to improve our team by adding some key roles and 
elevating our associates from within.

It was the start of 2020, and all through the industry capital was high, 
delinquency  low,  and  the  outlook  was  rosy. The  first  quarter  was  our 
best  on  record,  and  it  seemed  as  if  we  were  off  to  another  banner 
growth year. We completed our digital banking conversion in February 
with most of our clients up to speed quickly. During the first quarter, the 
commercial group originated $141 million in total commitments, and 
we garnered many new relationships very early in the year. All systems 
were “go” until everything changed in a matter of days. 

COVID-19  arrived  on  the  scene,  first  with  travel  restrictions  and  then 
the  shutdown  of  non-essential  activities.  We  had  to  make  important 
decisions  on  how  to  move  forward.  The  health  and  safety  of  our 
associates and clients came first as we were able to establish a work-
from-home  stance  and  safe  delivery  of  services  within  five  days.  Not 
knowing the future, we tapped the capital markets and raised additional 
capital  to  help  ensure  we  were  prepared  for  the  unknown.  Knowing 
that  the  banking  system  would  be  part  of  the  delivery  of  aid  to  our 
communities, we started to prepare for the governor’s plan on how to 
keep commerce closed, but not totally lose the economy in the process. 

Unlike  the  Great  Recession  of  2008,  the  Federal  Government,  via  the 
regulatory agencies, was the first to offer assistance with guidance for 
forbearance  and  payment  deferment  for  loan  clients  of  all  sizes.  The 
Cares  Act  was  signed  and  the  Payroll  Protection  Program  would  be 
the  main  vehicle  to  deliver  aid  through  the  banking  system  and  the 
SBA. I’m proud to say that your Heartland community bankers, led by 
Laurie Pfeiffer and Donna Baskerville, worked 24-7 for over six weeks. 
We established a “put me in coach” system to recruit every able-bodied 
community  banker.  Our  efforts  were  so  successful  that  we  were  able 
to  not  only  help  our  clients,  but  many  other  businesses  in  need. The 
fee income associated with this program enabled the bank to increase 
reserves  and  offset  expenses  attributed  to  aid  delivery.  Overall,  your 
community bank originated 1,075 PPP loans for $129 million, helping 
16,000+  employees.  Community  bankers  across  America  outpaced 
their  big  bank  and  credit  union  competition  making  60%  of  all  PPP 
loans  while  only  holding  20%  of  the  US  banking  market  share.  Even 
Jim Cramer from CNBC was quoted as saying, “I should have been 
with a community bank.” 

Second,  we  could  diversify  our  balance  sheet  with  the  addition  of  a 
mortgage  and  servicing  book  to  enhance  noninterest  income.  Third 
and most important, we could obtain top talent in the mortgage area 
along with decades of experience from one of the best sources around, 
the  Kenkel  family.  Our  conversion  team  did  a  great  job,  and  we  were 
able to open as Heartland Bank in October!

The summer was a challenging time as social unrest and rioting were 
prevalent across the country. We have taken special care to look inside 
our  organization  and  make  sure  that  we  are  all  fully  aware  of,  and 
have respect for, the cultural, racial, and ethnic differences that make 
America  the  melting  pot  that  it  is.  Diversity  and  inclusion  activities, 
conversations and actions will continue so that we can all be aware of 
societal discrimination and justice for all.

In  September,  we  made  a  strategic  hire  in  Matt  Booms  to  help  us 
streamline and manage the mortgage business. His extensive experience 
and  leadership  have  helped  manage  and  grow  the Victory  asset. The 
rate environment also created a tsunami of mortgage refinance activity 
which has been a very successful source of revenue and growth. In 2020 
alone,  the  on  balance  sheet  mortgage  portfolio  grew  by  $92  million, 
or 40%, and the off balance sheet service mortgage portfolio grew by 
$341 million, or 1,366%. The mortgage team generated approximately 
$5.3 million in noninterest income, up $4.8 million or 963% from 2019. 

In  October,  Ben  Babcanec  was  promoted  to  SVP,  Chief  Operating 
Officer.  With  19  years  of  experience  in  our  bank  starting  as  a  teller 
and working his way up, Ben was the best choice for this position. He 
is a past board member of many local non-profit organizations and is 
currently  a  board  member  of  the  Community  Bankers  Association  of 
Ohio. Most importantly, he is a creator and defender of the Heartland 
family culture. With this addition, we have weaponized our culture and 
will  not  let  anything  or  anybody  pose  a  threat  to  it.  One  of  my  most 
proud moments in banking was to promote Ben to this post. 

At the onset of the pandemic, we didn’t think we could have a banner 
year;  however,  the  hard  work  and  dedication  of  your  Heartland 
community  bankers  held  the  day.  Record  revenue  and  bottom-line 
profits  kept  the  bank  in  line  with  past  years.  Receiving  the  SBA  2019 
Top  10  Lender  of  the  Year  Award  for  the  Columbus  District  Region 
and  Ranking  #58  on  the  Top  200  Publicly  Traded  Community  Banks 
and Thrifts were also honors we received from the industry. However, 
the  largest  and  most  heartfelt  accolades  came  from  our  clients  and 
communities as they sent many notes of thanks and appreciation for 
the bank’s efforts during such a trying time in human history. 

When life becomes uncertain, there’s one thing understood: we’re here 
for  you  at  Heartland  Bank,  where  banking  feels  good! Thank  you  for 

your continued support and patronage.

We  were  also  in  the  middle  of  an  acquisition.  On 
April  7,  we  closed  on  our  acquisition  of  Victory 
Community  Bank 
in  Northern  Kentucky  and 
welcomed  the  Kenkel  family  to  ours.  John  G. 
“Jack”  Kenkel  Jr.  joined  your  board  of  directors 
and  Jack’s  sons,  John  and  Eric,  also  joined  the 
Heartland team. There were three reasons why we 
were excited about this match-up. First, we could 
enter  the  vibrant  Northern  Kentucky  market  with 
locations  in  Boone,  Kenton  and  Campbell  counties. 

Sincerely,

G. Scott McComb
Chairman, President & CEO

Changes in Financial Condition:

Total  assets  at  December  31,  2020,  were  $1.55 
billion,  an  increase  of  39%  compared  to  $1.11 
billion  at  December  31,  2019.    Loans  held  for 
investment  increased  $237.1  million  or  26%  to 
$1.14 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to 
$899.0 million at December 31, 2019. The largest 
components of this increase were in Commercial 
loans  which 
increased  $106.3  million  and 
Residential  1-4  Family  loans  which  increased 
$91.9  million.  The  2020  results  were  impacted 
by  Heartland’s  participation  in  the  Paycheck 
increased 
Protection  Program 
Commercial  balances  by  approximately  $101 
million.  In  addition,  Heartland  acquired  Victory 
Community Bank in April of 2020 which increased 
loan balances by $120.2 million.  

(PPP)  which 

Nonperforming  assets  consisting  of  nonaccrual 
loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, 
and  Other  Real  Estate  Owned  (“OREO”)  totaled 
$3.0 million, or 0.19% of total assets at December 
31, 2020, an increase of $0.6 million from 2019. 
Net  charge  offs  increased  during  2020  to  $0.97 
million,  which  was  a  $0.69  million  increase 
compared  to  2019. The  allowance  for  loan  loss 
at  December  31,  2020,  now  covers  nonaccrual 
loans  at  476.5%,  up  from  471.9%  at  December 
31, 2019.

Heartland BancCorp funds earning asset growth 
through 
its  deposit  relationships.  Deposits 
increased $368.6 million or 39.0% to $1.31 billion 
at  December  31,  2020.  Deposit  growth  for  the 
year included $170.8 million in demand deposits 
and $172.4 million in savings and money market 
deposits. The  acquisition  of Victory  Community 
Bank  added  approximately  $149.9  million  in 
deposit balances in 2020.

due 2030, to certain qualified institutional buyers 
and accredited investors, including the exchange 
of  $5.4  million  of  the  Company’s  subordinated 
notes due 2025. The notes have been structured 
to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital 
purposes.  At  December  31,  2020,  Heartland 
Bank and Heartland BancCorp met all regulatory 
capital  levels  to  be  considered  well-capitalized 
(see  Note  13  to  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements).  In  2020,  Heartland  BancCorp  paid 
dividends of $2.29 per share, representing a yield 
of 2.76% on the closing stock price of $82.99 per 
share on December 31, 2020. 

Earnings Summary:

2020 marked the 4th consecutive year of record 
net  income  with  a  33-year  history  of  strong, 
consistent  growth  and  financial  performance 
for  Heartland  BancCorp.  Net  income  for  2020 
increased  12%  to  $14.8  million,  or  $7.33,  per 
diluted  share  compared  to  $13.2  million,  or 
$6.45,  per  diluted  share  in  2019.  Return  on 
average  assets  and  equity  were  1.08%  and 
11.10% respectively for 2020, compared to 1.21% 
and 10.81% for 2019.

Positive results for 2020 included net loan growth 
of $231.7 million, or 26%, and deposit growth of 
$368.6  million,  or  39%.  The  mortgage  banking 
segment  contributed  significant  revenues  with 
residential real estate loan production of $244.7 
million  for  the  year,  resulting  in  $5.8  million 
of  revenue  from  gains  on  sales  of  mortgage 
loans  and  OMSRs.  Heartland’s  portfolio  of 
mortgage  loans  serviced  for  others  ended  the 
year  at  $366.1  million,  up  from  $25.0  million 
at  December  31,  2019.  PPP  loan  originations 
totaled  $129.0  million,  adding  $3.6  million  in 
pretax preprovision net revenue. 

The CARES Act provided for significant consumer 
and  small  business  relief  due  to  the  impact  of 
the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Heartland  provided 
payment  relief  to  a  number  of  consumer  and 
small  business  customers  throughout  2020. 
Heartland  has  deferred  payment  on  29  loans 
totaling  $51.9  million  at  December  31,  2020, 
which  includes  13  loans  totaling  $28.0  million 
that had received a second deferral. 

Operating  revenue  (net  interest  income  plus 
noninterest  income)  was  up  compared  to  the 
prior  year  by  $12.2  million,  or  25.3%.  Sustained 
low,  long-term  mortgage  rates  continued  to 
attract  mortgage  refinancing  and  produced 
higher  gains  on  loan  sales.  Low  market  rates, 
combined with excess liquidity, and PPP loans at 
1.0% rates contributed to a 31 basis point decline 
in net interest margin to 3.63% for 2020.

compared to $1.5 million in 2019.

Results of Operation:

Net  interest  income  increased  14.8%  to  $46.4 
million  compared  to  $40.4  million  in  2019. 
Average earning assets increased to $1.27 billion 
in  2020  compared  to  $1.02  billion  in  2019,  an 
increase  of  $242.4  million,  or  23.6%,  resulting 
from  a  $202.7  million,  or  24%,  increase  in 
average loan balances. The consolidated full year 
net  interest  margin  decreased  31  basis  points 
to  3.63%  compared  to  3.94%  for  the  full  year 
of  2019.  Amortization  of  net  deferred  PPP  fees 
and  costs  recognized  in  interest  income  during 
2020 was $1.4 million. At December 31, 2020, the 
balance  of  unamortized  PPP  fees,  net  of  costs, 
was $1.3 million from Phase I of the PPP program.

Provision for loan loss expense was $6.4 million in 
2020 compared to $1.5 million in 2019. For 2020, 
net  charge  offs  totaled  $0.97  million,  or  .09%, 
of  average  loans  compared  to  $0.28  million,  or 
.03%, of average loans in 2019. The allowance as 
a percent of loans, including PPP balances, was 
1.25% at December 31, 2020, compared to .98% 
at December 31, 2019.

Total  noninterest 
income  was  $14.1  million 
for  2020  compared  to  $7.8  million  for  2019, 
representing  an  increase  of  $6.2  million,  or 
79.7%  year-over-year.  This  increase  was  driven 
by an increase of $5.3 million in gains on sales of 
residential  real  estate  loans  and  OMSRs  and  an 
increase of $0.49 million, or 88%, in income from 
Heartland’s financial planning division, Heartland 
Planning  Associates.  Trans  County  Title  Agency 
contributed  $2.3  million  in  noninterest  income 
for 2020 compared to $2.1 million in 2019.

year-over-year. 
equivalent 
employees  ended  2020  at  279,  an  increase  of 
36  from  year-end  2019,  resulting  from  a  larger 
footprint  with  the  addition  of  three  banking 
locations 
in  Boone,  Kenton,  and  Campbell 
counties  in  Kentucky  from  the  acquisition  of 
Victory  Community  Bank  plus  expansion  of  the 
mortgage team.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $12.5 million 
or 9.7% to $140.9 million at December 31, 2020. 
Based  upon  total  shares  outstanding,  the  book 
value  of  shareholders’  equity  increased  11%  to 
$70.70 per share at December 31, 2020. On March 
13, 2020, Heartland announced the authorization 
to repurchase up to $5 million in common shares 
of  stock.  Following  this  announcement,  90,612 
shares  at  an  average  price  of  $55.12  per  share 
were  repurchased  and  converted  to  treasury 
shares. Additionally, on May 15, 2020, Heartland 
completed its private placement of $25 million of 
5.0%  fixed-to-floating  rate  subordinated  notes, 

resulting 

Operating  expense  increased  $5.5  million  or 
17.8%  in  2020  due  to  increased  compensation

commissions  and 
increased  costs  from  the 
acquisition  of  Victory  Community  Bank. 
Operating  leverage  (growth  in  revenue  divided 
by growth in operating expense) was positive 1.4 
times. 

Net  charge  offs  for  2020  were  $0.97  million 
compared  to  $0.28  million  in  2019.  Economic 
impacts  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic  resulted 
in  loan  loss  provision  of  $6.4  million  for  2020 

Salaries  and  benefits  were  driven  by  higher 
compensation  costs  in  the  mortgage  division 
and  a  reduction  of  $2.1  million  from  deferred 
origination  costs  on  PPP  loans.  Professional 
fees  were  higher  due  to 
legal, 
investment  banking  and  accounting  fees  from 
the  acquisition.  TransCounty  Title  Agency 
contributed  $2.0  million 
in  operating  costs 
compared  to  $1.9  million  in  2019.  On  April  7, 
2020,  Heartland  completed  the  acquisition  of 
Victory  Community  Bank,  which  added  $1.2 
million in merger related non-recurring expense.

Board of Directors and Audit Committee 
Heartland BancCorp 
Whitehall, Ohio 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Heartland BancCorp and its 
subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash 
flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.  We also 
have audited Heartland BancCorp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, 
based on criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal 
Control Over Financial Reporting 

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

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion 
on the entity’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We conducted our audits 
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement and whether effective 
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 

An audit of consolidated financial statements involves performing procedures to obtain audit 
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  The procedures 
selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those 
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances.  An audit of consolidated financial statements also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements.

2020 Annual Report Heartland BancCorpHeartland BancCorp 2020 Annual ReportAn audit of internal control over financial reporting involves performing procedures to obtain 
evidence about whether a material weakness exists.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgment, including the assessment of the risk that a material weakness exists.  An audit of internal 
control over financial reporting also involves obtaining an understanding of internal control over 
financial reporting and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal 
control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk. 

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

Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with 
governance, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America.  Because management’s assessment and our audit were 
conducted to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), our audit of Heartland BancCorp’s internal control over 
financial reporting included controls over the preparation of consolidated financial statements in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with 
the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Small Holding Companies (Form 
FR Y-9SP).  An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and 
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and 
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that 
receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the 
entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect 
and correct, misstatements.  Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are 
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the 
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Opinions

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of Heartland BancCorp as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

Note 1:  Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Nature of Operations 

Heartland BancCorp (“Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the 
ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Heartland Bank (the “Bank”) and 
TransCounty Title Agency, LLC along with the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Heartland 
Mortgage Corporation (inactive), Heartland Investments, Inc. (inactive) and Heartland Insurance 
Services, LLC.  The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial 
services to individual and corporate customers in central Ohio and northern Kentucky.  The Bank is 
subject to competition from other financial institutions.  The Bank is subject to the regulation of 
certain federal and state agencies and undergoes examinations by those regulatory authorities on an 
18-month cycle.

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, 
TransCounty Title Agency, LLC and Heartland Insurance Services, LLC.  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Business Combinations 

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the 
acquisition method, assets and liabilities of the business acquired are recorded at their estimated 
fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair 
value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Results of operations 
of the acquired business are included in the income statement from the date of acquisition.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination 
of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or 
in satisfaction of loans, valuation of deferred tax assets, and other-than-temporary impairments 
(OTTI) and fair values of financial instruments.  The uncertainties related to the COVID-19 
pandemic could cause significant changes to these estimates compared to what was known at the 
time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. 

Cash Equivalents 

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by 
approximately $3,505,000.

Additionally, approximately $164,741,000 of cash is held by the Federal Reserve Bank of 
Cleveland and Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati as of December 31, 2020, which is not 
federally insured. 

Securities 

Available-for-sale debt securities, which include any security for which the Company has no 
immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value.  Unrealized 
gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive income. 
Held-to-maturity debt securities, which include any security for which the Company has the 
positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at historical cost adjusted for 
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.  

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over 
the terms of the securities.  Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses).  
Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method.   

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a 
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an 
evaluation.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and 
duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  
Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be 
required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. 
If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between 
amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities 
that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two 
components as follows 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income 
statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is 
recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between 
the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.  For 
equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.  The Company 
recognized no other-than temporary impairment in 2020 and 2019. 

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent securities the Company routinely sells to 
certain treasury management customers and then repurchases these securities the next day. 
Securities sold under repurchase agreements are reflected as secured borrowings in the 
consolidated balance sheets at the amount of cash received in connection with each transaction. 

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

For all loan classes, the accrual of interest is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due 
unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  For all loan classes, past due status is 
based on contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off 
at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. 

For all loan classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or 
charged off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the 
cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to 
accrual status when the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and 
future payments are reasonably assured.  The Company requires a period of satisfactory 
performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status. 

Discounts and premiums on purchased loans are amortized to income using the interest method 
over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. 

Loans Acquired in Business Combinations 

Loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and 
for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered 
to be purchased credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of purchase dates may 
include information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit risk grade and recent 
loan to value percentages. Purchased credit-impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting 
guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30). 

These loans are initially measured at fair value based upon expected cash flows without 
anticipation of prepayments and includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred 
over the life of the loans. As a result, related discounts are recognized subsequently through 
accretion based on the expected cash flows of the acquired loans. For purposes of applying ASC 
310-30, loans acquired in business combinations are individually evaluated for the initial fair value
measurement. Accordingly, allowances for credit losses related to these loans are not carried over
at the acquisition date.

The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be 
collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable portion of the fair value discount or 
premium. The accretable portion of the fair value discount or premium is the difference between 
the expected cash flows and the net present value of expected cash flows, with such difference 
accreted into earnings over the term of the loans. Acquired loans not accounted for under ASC 310-
30 are accounted for under ASC 310-20, which allows the fair value adjustment to be accreted into 
income over the remaining life of the loans. 

Loans 

Allowance for Loan Losses 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity 
or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the 
allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums 
or discounts on purchased loans 

For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan 
origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are 
deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.

10 

16

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a 
provision for loan losses charged to income.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when 
management believes the un-collectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, 
if any, are credited to the allowance. 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon 
management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the 
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to

December 31, 2020 and 2019 

repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This 
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision 
as more information becomes available. 

The allowance consists of allocated and general components.  The allocated component relates to 
loans that are classified as impaired.  For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is 
established if the discounted cash flows, underlying collateral value or observable market price of 
the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-
impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions 
and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that 
the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due 
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in 
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting 
scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment 
delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the 
significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into 
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length 
of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the 
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan 
basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash 
flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair 
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Interest income on impaired loans is 
recognized on a cash basis after all past due and current principal payments have been made. 

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on 
the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant 
factors that affect repayment of the loans.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify 
individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the 
subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.  In the course of 
working with borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain 
loans.  In this scenario, the Company attempts to work-out an alternative payment schedule with 
the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan.  Any loans that are modified are 
reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which 
is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company 
grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  Terms may be modified 
to fit the borrower’s ability to repay in line with the borrower’s current financial status, and the 
restructuring of the loan may include a transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a 
modification of loan terms or a combination of the two.  If such efforts by the Company do not 
result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure 
proceedings are initiated.  At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Company 
may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work-out a satisfactory payment 
plan. 

It is the Company’s policy that any restructured loans on nonaccrual status prior to being 
restructured remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance, at 
which time management would consider its return to accrual status.  If a loan is accruing at the time 
of restructuring, the Company reviews the loan to determine if it is appropriate to continue the 
accrual of interest on the restructured loan.

With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses, troubled debt 
restructured loans are considered to be impaired.  As a result, the method for determining the 
amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment of troubled debt restructurings is the same as 
detailed previously. 

On March 22, 2020, a statement was issued by banking regulators and titled "Interagency 
Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers 
Affected by the Coronavirus" (the "Interagency Statement") that encourages financial institutions 
to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment 
obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further 
provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt 
restructure as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of 
December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency 
concerning the COVID-19 outbreak under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) 
terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised on April 7, 2020 to clarify the 
interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth 
the banking regulators' views on consumer protection considerations.  

In accordance with such guidance, the Company has offered short-term modifications made in 
response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due. These included 
short-term, 180 days or less, modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, 
extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. On December 27, 
2020, a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package, as passed by the U.S. Congress, was signed into 
law as part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act ("CAA") that provides federal 
government funding through the end of its 2021 fiscal year. In addition to delivering direct 
stimulus payments to certain individuals, an increase in unemployment insurance benefits, an 
extension of the eviction moratorium, relief to the healthcare industry, and additional aid to various 
other businesses, the COVID-19-related provisions of the CAA provide for (i) an additional $284 
billion in funding for the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), through March 31, 2021, (ii) an 
extension of the temporary delay for implementation of the CECL accounting standard, and (iii) 
further suspension of the troubled debt restructure assessment and reporting requirements for 
financial institutions under GAAP.  

Mortgage Servicing Rights 

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair 
value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans.  Fair value is based on 
market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available or alternatively, is 
based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing 
income.  All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method 
which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over 
the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. 

Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to 
carrying amount.  Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on 
predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type.  Impairment is 
recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is 
less than the carrying amount.  If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the 
impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be

recorded as an increase to income.  Changes in valuation allowances are reported with loan 
servicing fees on the income statement.  The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant 
fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and 
losses. 

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement as loan servicing fees, is recorded 
for fees earned for servicing loans.  The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the 
outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned.  The 
amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

December 31, 2020 and 2019 

Company-owned Life Insurance 

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.  Company-owned 
life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the 
balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts 
due that are probable at settlement. 

Stock Options 

At December 31, 2020, the Company has a share-based employee compensation plan, which is 
described more fully in Note 16. 

Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is charged to 
expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  

Transfers of Financial Assets 

Nonmarketable Equity Securities 

Nonmarketable equity securities consist of common stock in the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and 
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  The FRB and FHLB stocks are required investments for 
institutions that are members of the FRB and FHLB systems.  The required investment in the 
common stock is based on a predetermined formula, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.  

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale 

Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a 
new cost basis.  Physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer 
mortgage loan occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the 
borrower conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu 
of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at 
lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If the fair value declines subsequent to 
foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.  Operating costs after acquisition 
are expensed. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair 
value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the 
acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition 
date.  Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined 
to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually.  If the 
implied fair value of goodwill is lower than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is 
identified and recorded to expense.  Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in 
the financial statements.  The Company completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment test 
as of December 31, 2020 and concluded goodwill is not impaired.  Changes in goodwill are further 
described in Note 6, Goodwill and Note 20, Business Combinations.

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been 
surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have 
been isolated from the Company—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its 
creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of 
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the 
transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred 
assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally 
cause the holder to return specific assets. 

Income Taxes 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance 
(ASC 740, Income Taxes).  The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of 
income tax expense:  current and deferred.  Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or 
refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable 
income or excess of deductions over revenues.  The Company determines deferred income taxes 
using the liability (or balance sheet) method.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or 
liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and 
liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they 
occur. 

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between 
periods.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of 
evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not 
be realized.  Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, 
that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination.  The term more likely than not 
means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include 
resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  A tax position that meets the more-
likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount 
of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a 
taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  The determination of whether 
or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, 
circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

December 31, 2020 and 2019 

judgment.  If necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a 
component of income tax expense. 

The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries in the U.S. federal 
jurisdiction.  With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax authorities for years 
before 2017.  As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no uncertain income tax positions. 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the 
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per 
share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive 
potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result 
from the assumed issuance.  Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate 
solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. 

Comprehensive Income 

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable 
income taxes.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gain on available-for-sale 
securities. 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income 

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gain on available-for-sale 
securities, net of applicable income taxes.  

Marketing Costs 

Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. 

Revenue From Contracts With Customers 

The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting 
Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  Under 
Topic 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance 
obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the 
performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies 
a performance obligation.  Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting 
period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. 

The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest and dividend income on loans, 
investment securities, and other financial instruments that are outside the scope of ASC 606.  The 
Company has evaluated the nature of its contracts with customers and determined that further 
disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond 
what is presented in the consolidated statements of income was not necessary.  The Company 
generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are 
rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; and charged on a periodic basis or based on 

16 

22

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

activity.  Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction 
prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects 
the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. 

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts.   The Company generates revenues through fees charged to 
depositors related to deposit account maintenance fees, overdrafts, ATM fees, wire transfers and 
additional miscellaneous services provided at the request of the depositor.  For deposit-related 
services, revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which is, generally, at a 
point in time.  This revenue is included in service charges on the consolidated statements of 
income. 

Financial Planning and Wealth Advisory.  The Company offers financial planning, wealth 
management, insurance, and investment advisory services through LPL.  Payments in connection 
with these services are governed by written agreements.  Fees paid to The Company by LPL in 
accordance with the services provided are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. 
This revenue is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income. 

Title Insurance Services.  The Company provides residential and commercial title insurance 
services through its subsidiary, Trans County Title Agency.  The Company’s primary relationships 
for title services are with real estate agents, lenders, attorneys and builders.  Fees for title insurance 
and ancillary services such as closing services, title searches and lien searches are recognized when 
services are rendered, and performance obligations are satisfied.  This revenue is included in title 
insurance income on the consolidated statements of income. 

Interchange Income.  The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder 
transactions conducted through the Visa payment network.  Interchange fees from cardholder 
transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, 
concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.  This revenue is 
included in service charges on the consolidated statements of income. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The Company has adopted ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments”, which requires the use of an exit 
price to measure fair value for disclosure purposes and clarifies that entities should not make use of 
practicability exception in determining the fair value of loans.  Accordingly, the Company 
modified the calculation used to determine the disclosed fair value of loans held for investments as 
part of adopting this standard. 

Leases 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and subsequent 
amendments thereto, which requires the Company to recognize most leases on the balance sheet.  
We adopted the standard under a modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption and 
elected to apply several of the available practical expedients, including: 

• Carry over of historical lease determination and lease classification conclusions
• Carry over of historical initial direct costs
• Accounting for lease and non-lease components in contracts where the Company is a lessee

as a single lease component

(Table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data) 

• Exclusion of land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases by the

Company

Adoption of the lease standard resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of 
$2,722,000, and operating lease liabilities of $2,722,000 as of January 1, 2019.  These amounts 
were determined based on the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the 
Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of the date of adoption.  There was no material impact to 
the timing of expense or income recognition in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. 
Prior periods were not restated and continue to be presented under legacy GAAP.  Disclosures 
about the Company’s leasing activities are presented in Note 6 – Leases. 

Reclassifications 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2019 financial statements to conform to the 2020 
financial statement presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

The carrying value, which equals fair value, of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public 
deposits and for other purposes, was $92,180,000 at December 31, 2020 and $58,449,000 at 
December 31, 2019. 

Gross gains of approximately $311,000 and losses of approximately $61,000 resulting from sales 
of available-for-sale securities were realized for 2020.  No gains or losses resulting from sales of 
available-for-sale securities were realized in 2019.  The $250,000 net gains from the sales of 
available-for-sale securities were a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income 
(loss) and are included in the net gains on available-for-sale securities in the income statement for 
2020.  The related tax expense of approximately $53,000 was a reclassification from accumulated 
other comprehensive income and included in the provision for income tax in the income statement 
for 2020.  

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than 
their historical cost.  Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 
$17,017,000 and $32,313,000, which is approximately 12% and 23%, respectively, of the

U.S. Government Agencies 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government 
agencies were caused by changes in interest rates.  The contractual terms of those investments do 
not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than amortized cost bases of the 
investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely 
than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized 
cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-
than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2020. 

Mortgage-backed Securities of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities of U.S. 
Government sponsored enterprises were caused by changes in interest rates and illiquidity.  The 
Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities.  Because the 
decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit 
quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely 
than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized 
cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investment to be other-
than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2020. 

State and Political Subdivisions 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state and political subdivisions 
were caused by changes in interest rates and illiquidity.  The contractual terms of those investments 
do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the 
investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely 
than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized 
cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-
than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 coronavirus was identified as a global pandemic and began 
affecting the health of large populations around the world. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, 
economic uncertainties arose which can ultimately affect the financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows of the Company, as well as the Company’s customers. In response to 
economic concerns over COVID-19, in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 
Security Act (CARES Act) was passed into law by Congress. The CARES Act included relief for 
individual Americans, health care workers, small businesses and certain industries hit hard by the 
COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, passed by Congress in 
December 2020, extended certain provisions of the CARES Act affecting the Company into 2021. 

The CARES Act included several provisions designed to help financial institutions in working with 
their customers. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as extended, allows a financial institution to elect 
to suspend generally accepted accounting principles and regulatory determinations with respect to 
qualifying loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a 
troubled debt restructuring (TDR) until January 1, 2022. The Company has taken advantage of this 
provision to extend certain payment modifications to loan customers in need. As of December 31, 
2020, the Company has approximately $52,000,000 of outstanding loans that were modified during 
2020 under the CARES Act guidance, that remain on modified terms. The Company modified 
other loans during 2020 under the guidance that have since returned to normal repayment status as 
of December 31, 2020.  

The CARES Act also approved the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), administered by the Small 
Business Administration (SBA) with funding provided by financial institutions. The 2021 
Consolidated Appropriations Act approved a new round of PPP loans in 2021. The PPP provides 
loans to eligible businesses through financial institutions like the Company, with loans being 
eligible for forgiveness of some or all of the principal amount by the SBA if the borrower meets 
certain requirements. The SBA guarantees repayment of the loans to the Company if the

22 

28

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

borrower’s loan is not forgiven and is then not repaid by the customer. The Company earns a 1% 
interest rate on PPP loans, plus a processing fee from the SBA for processing and originating a 
loan. The Company originated approximately $129,000,000 in PPP loans during 2020, of which 
approximately $101,000,000 are still outstanding at December 31, 2020. 

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: 

Commercial (Non-Real Estate) 

Commercial loans are based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and on the underlying 
collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as 
expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.  Most commercial loans are 
secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or 
inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee.  In the case of loans secured by accounts 
receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially 
dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. 

Commercial Real Estate 

These loans are viewed as cash flow loans with a significant emphasis on the value of real estate 
securing the loan.  Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts 
and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property 
securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real 
estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the 
general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are 
diverse in terms of type within the Company’s market area.  Management monitors and evaluates 
commercial real estate loans based on collateral, market area, risk grade criteria, and 
concentrations.  As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless 
other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk.  In addition, management tracks the 
level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus higher risk non-owner-occupied loans. 

Residential Real Estate and Consumer 

With respect to residential loans that are secured by one- to-four family residences and are 
generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and 
generally requires private mortgage insurance if that maximum is exceeded. Home equity loans are 
typically secured by a subordinate interest in one- to-four family residences, and other consumer 
loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer 
loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these 
loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by 
economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels.  The security value can 
also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties.  Risk is mitigated by the 
fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internal Risk Categories 

Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8.  Grades 1 through 4 are considered pass grades.  The grade 
of 5, or Special Mention, represents loans of lower quality and signs of potential weakness.  The 
grades of 6, or Substandard, and 7, or Doubtful, refer to assets that are classified.  The use and 
application of these grades by the Company will be uniform and shall conform to the Company’s 
policy. 

Excellent (1) loans are of superior quality with excellent credit strength and repayment ability 
proving a nominal credit risk. 

Good (2) loans are of above average credit strength and repayment ability proving only a minimal 
credit risk.  

Satisfactory (3) loans are of reasonable credit strength and repayment ability proving an average 
credit risk due to one or more underlying weaknesses. 

Watch (4) borrowers in this grade are still considered acceptable from quality standpoint but have 
risk factors more substantial than for the typical satisfactory graded loan.  Although identified 
weaknesses are present, performance on loans is acceptable with only moderate delinquency.  

Special Mention (5) assets have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. 
If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment 
prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date.  Special mention 
assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant 
adverse classification.  Ordinarily, special mention credits have characteristics which corrective 
management action would remedy. 

Substandard (6) loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity 
of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined 
weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the 
distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. 

Doubtful (7) loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified 
Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in 
full, on the basis of current known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and 
improbable. 

Loss (8) loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their 
continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the loan has 
absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off 
even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-
10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be
unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the
loan.  Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in
troubled debt restructurings.

Note 6:  Goodwill 

Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of an entity.  During the one-year measurement 
period, the Company may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts 
recorded at the acquisition date.  The Victory Community Bank acquisition on April 7, 2020 
resulted in $11,183,000 of goodwill.  Details regarding the Victory Community Bank acquisition 
are discussed in Note 18, Business Combinations.  Goodwill at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 
$12,389,000 and $1,206,000 respectively. 

The Company reviews goodwill annually for impairment in accordance with ASU No. 2017-04, 
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  Simplifying the Test for Goodwill, or more 
frequently if events or circumstances warrant. The impairment analysis compares the estimated fair 
value of the Company with the Company’s net book value, and may include various valuation 
considerations including comparable peer data, precedent transaction comparables, discounted cash 
flow analysis, overall financial performance, share price of the Company’s common stock and 
other factors.  At March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 the Company assessed 
the economic impact and market conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Additionally, the 
Company assessed the general uncertainty as to the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and its 
effect on economic recovery and concluded goodwill was not impaired in either period.   

At December 31, 2020 and 2019 the fair value exceeded the Company’s carrying value; therefore, 
it was concluded that goodwill was not impaired. 

Note 7:   Other Intangible Assets 

Core deposit intangibles and other intangibles are recorded on the acquisition date of an entity.  
During the one-year measurement period, the Company may record subsequent adjustments to 
these intangibles for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.  The Victory Community 
Bank acquisition on April 7, 2020 resulted in a core deposit intangible of $552,000.  Details 
regarding the Victory Community Bank acquisition or discussed in Note 20 – Business 
Combinations.  The carrying basis and accumulated amortization of recognized core deposit and 
other intangibles are noted below.

The core deposit intangibles and other intangibles are being amortized primarily on an accelerated 
basis over their estimated useful lives, generally over a period of five to ten years.  Amortization 
expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $234,000 and $68,000 respectively.

Note 8:  Lease Arrangements 

Lease Obligations 

The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for financial centers, 
business development offices, and information technology equipment.  The Company’s leases have 
remaining terms ranging from .8 to 16.7 years, some of which include renewal or termination 
options to extend the lease for up to 10 years.  In addition, the Company has entered into subleases 
for space in certain vacated locations, the terms of which range from 3 to 5 years.  The Company’s 
leases do not include residual value guarantees or covenants. The Company includes lease 
extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, 
it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option.  In addition, the Company has elected 
to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease 
component.  The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of less 
than 12 months (short-term leases) on the balance sheet. 

Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date.  Lease 
expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.  Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and 
lease liabilities represent our obligation to make these lease payments arising from the lease.  
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on 
the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. 

The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to calculate the present 
value of lease payments when the rate implicit in a lease is not known.  The Company’s 
incremental borrowing rate is based on the FHLB rate, adjusted for the lease term. 

All of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities totaling $3,051,000 at December 31, 
2020 and $2,569,000 at December 31, 2019 are classified as operating leases.

Note 10:  Repurchase Agreements 

Payments over the next five years and thereafter are as follows: 

The Company had repurchase agreements on December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $10,632,000 and 
$11,344,000 respectively.  These agreements are secured by U. S. Government Agency, FHLB, 
FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA securities and such collateral is held in safekeeping with a third 
party.  The maximum amount of outstanding agreements at any month end during 2020 and 2019 
totaled $13,912,000 and $16,861,000 , respectively, and the daily average of such agreements 
totaled $9,588,000 and $10,327,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.  These agreements mature 
daily.  The following table represents the remaining contractual maturity of repurchase agreements

Note 11:  Borrowings 

The Company has Federal Funds Borrowing Line Agreements with US Bank and PNC Bank that 
allow the Company to borrow up to $20,000,000 and $5,000,000 in Federal Funds, respectively. 

The Company has a cash management advance (CMA) line of credit with the Federal Home Loan 
Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati.  FHLB borrowings are collateralized by all shares of FHLB stock 
owned by the Bank and by the Bank’s residential mortgage loans.  At December 31, 2019, the 
Company had $68,741,000, respectively, available on its CMA line of credit.  The CMA 
application expired on November 6, 2020.  The line of credit was subsequently renewed on January 
7, 2021.  The Company has the option of selecting a variable interest rate set daily for 90 days or a 
fixed interest rate for a maximum of thirty days.  Variable interest rates are set daily based upon the 
FHLB’s published interest rates.  Variable interest rate advances are prepayable with no fee.  The 
fixed rate is not prepayable prior to maturity.  

At December 31, 2020, term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $44,670,000 at 
fixed rates ranging from .95% to 3.06%, maturing between March 2, 2021 and August 1, 2037.  
Each advance is payable either at its maturity date or amortizing over the life of the advance, with a 
prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances.  The advances were collateralized by approximately 
$421,167,000 of residential mortgage assets under a blanket lien arrangement at year-end 2020.  
Based on this collateral the Company has additional borrowing capacity of $159,233,000 at 
December 31, 2020.

On May 15, 2020, the Company completed a private issuance and sale, of subordinated notes at a 
5.00% fixed to floating rate, to 21 accredited investors for an aggregate gross amount of 
$25,000,000 proceeds, net of related issuance costs of $415,000.  The notes are fixed at 5.00% until 
June 15, 2025, when they will convert to the three-month term SOFR plus 490.0 basis points, 
repricing quarterly. Interest is payable in March and September of each year.  The Subordinated 
notes will mature on May 15, 2030, and the Company cannot redeem the notes prior to May 15, 
2025, subject to approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as required by 
law or regulation. This private placement included $5,360,000 of notes that were issued in 
exchange for the Company’s existing subordinated notes, issued on November 12, 2015, for net 
cash proceeds of $19,225,000.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 
the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain 
mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could 
have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy 
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and 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 guidelines.  The capital 
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about 
components, risk weightings and other factors.  Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could 
require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements. 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company 
and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and 
Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier 1 capital (as 
defined) to total risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets 
(as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2020, that the Company and the Bank 
meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 

As of December 31, 2020, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve categorized the 
Company and Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective 
action.  To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain capital ratios 
as set forth in the table that follows.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that 
management believes have changed the Company or Bank’s category.

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without 
prior regulatory approval.  Generally, the Bank’s payment of dividends is limited to net income for 
the current year plus the two preceding calendar years, less capital distributions paid over the 
comparable time period.

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

The above minimum capital requirements exclude the 2.50% capital conservation buffer required 
to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary 
bonus payments to executive officers.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale 
securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. 

Note 14:  Related Party Transactions 

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank had loans outstanding and lines of credit available to 
executive officers, directors, significant shareholders and their affiliates (related parties), in the 
amount of approximately $29,356,000 and $41,071,000, respectively. 

In management’s opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were made in the 
ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates 
and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. 

Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of 
collectability or present other unfavorable features. 

Deposits from related parties held by the Bank at December 31, 2020 and 2019, totaled 
$40,227,000 and $13,153,000, respectively. 

Note 15:  Employee Benefits 

The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees.  
Employees may contribute up to the maximum amount allowable by the Internal Revenue Service 
with the Company matching 50% of the employee’s contribution not to exceed 3% of the 
employee’s compensation.  In addition, the Company may make additional discretionary 
contributions allocated to all eligible participants based on compensation.  Employee contributions 
are always 100% vested.  Employer contributions vest annually until the employee becomes fully 
vested after six years of participation in the plan.  Employer contributions charged to expense for 
2020 and 2019, were approximately $425,000 and $326,000, respectively. 

The Company has supplemental retirement plans for certain former and current Senior Officers.  
Officers in the plans, upon retirement, will receive annually for ten or fifteen years a percentage of 
their final annual payroll amount exclusive of incentive and bonus amounts and may be partially 
offset by 401(k) or 401(k) and social security retirement benefits.  The plans are uniquely designed 
for each participant.  The charges to expense for 2020 and 2019 were $523,000 and $477,000, 
respectively.  Such charges reflect the straight-line accrual over the period until full eligibility of 
the present value of benefits due each participant on the full eligibility date.  For plans executed 
before 2016, a 6% discount factor is used.  For plans executed after January 1, 2016, the 
accumulation period crediting rate was 43% of the prior year Return on Equity of the Company for 
2019 and 2020; and the distribution period crediting rate is equal to the 10-Year U.S. Treasury note 
on the first day of each year plus 1%.  The resulting liability at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 
$2,973,000 and $2,722,000, respectively.  The Company purchased life insurance on the 
participants.

The Bank has employment agreements with certain officers of the Bank.  Under these agreements, 
the officers are employed for rolling one to three-year periods.  Unless the Bank serves a 
termination notice to the officers before December 31 of each year, the agreements are 
automatically extended for one additional year.  The Bank’s Board of Directors approve the 
officers’ base salaries annually.  The agreements prohibit the officers from soliciting banking 
business from customers of the Bank for a period of one to three years following the termination of 
the employment agreements. 

Note 16:  Stock Option Plan 

The Company has a fixed option plan under which the Company may grant options to selected 
directors, Advisory Board Members and employees for up to 249,738 shares of common stock that 
vest over two years or immediately if the recipient is 65 years old or older.  The Company believes 
that such awards align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.  The exercise 
price of each option is intended to equal the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of grant.  
An option's maximum term is ten years.  The compensation cost for the stock option expense 
recognized in 2020 and 2019 totaled $591,000 and $661,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 
2020, there was $145,383 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-
based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan.

There were no options granted in 2020.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options 
granted during 2019 was $15.31.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year 
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $123,000 and $936,000, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 
(Table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data) 
The fair value of each option award granted is estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-
Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatility 
is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors.  The Company uses the 
simplified method to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation 
model due to lack of historical data.  The expected term of options granted represents the period of 
time that options are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the 
contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Note 18:  Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value measurements 
must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  There is 
a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: 

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

Level 2  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets 

or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are 
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the 
full term of the assets or liabilities 

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are 

significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities 

Recurring Measurements 

The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying 
balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value 
hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at 
fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets.  There have 
been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the year-ended December 31, 2020. 

Available-for-Sale Securities 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within 
Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are 
estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset 
pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced 
market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, 
prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows.  Level 2 securities include U.S. 
government agencies, Mortgage-backed securities of U.S. government sponsored enterprises, State 
and political subdivisions and corporate bonds.  In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs 
are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on 
a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general 
classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.  For assets classified within Level 
3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below. 

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL 

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value 
of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell.  Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified 
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  

The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value 
and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value.  
Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is 
determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by management.  
Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency.  Appraisers are selected from the list of 
approved appraisers maintained by management.  The appraised values are reduced by discounts to 
consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is 
dependent on the sale of the collateral.  These discounts and estimates are developed by 
comparison to historical results. 

Mortgage servicing rights 

MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value 
of these assets is classified as Level 3. The Company determines the fair value of MSRs using an 
income approach model based upon the Company’s month–end interest rate curve and prepayment 
assumptions. The model utilizes assumptions to estimate future net servicing income cash flows, 

46

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 
(Table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data) 

including estimates of time decay, payoffs and changes in valuation inputs and assumptions. The 
Company reviews the valuation assumptions against this market data for reasonableness and 
adjusts the assumptions if deemed appropriate. The carrying amount of the MSRs were reduced by 
$337,000 in 2020 for the fair value. 

Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

Sensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs 

The following is a discussion of the sensitivity of significant unobservable inputs, the 
interrelationships between those inputs and other unobservable inputs used in recurring fair value 
measurement and of how those inputs might magnify or mitigate the effect of changes in the 
unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement.   

Collateral-dependent impaired loans 

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s collateral-
dependent impaired loans is the marketability discount.  Significant increases in this input in 
isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

Heartland BancCorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 

Note 19:  Commitments and Credit Risk 

Letters of Credit 

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a 
customer to a third party.  These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private 
borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. 

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in 
extending loans to customers. 

The Bank had total outstanding letters of credit amounting to $795,000 and $510,000 at December 
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with maturities within the next 12 months. 

Lines of Credit 

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any 
condition established in the contract.  Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates.  Since a 
portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily 
represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by 
case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s 
credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, 
inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.  
Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet 
instruments. 

At December 31, 2020, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating 
approximately $116,631,000 and $51,612,000 for commercial lines and open-end consumer lines, 
respectively.  At December 31, 2019, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers 
aggregating approximately $69,241,000 and $40,693,000 for commercial lines and open-end 
consumer lines, respectively.   

Commitments to Originate Loans 

Commitments to originate loans 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 a portion of 
the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not 
necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a 
case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on

Note 20:  Business Combinations 

On April 7, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Victory 
Community Bank from Victory Bancorp, Inc.  As the sole shareholder of Victory Community 
Bank, Victory Bancorp received purchase consideration consisting of 58,934 shares of Heartland 
BancCorp common stock, valued at $3,418,000 and $35,500,000 in cash, for total consideration of 
$38,918,000.  The fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for 
Victory Community Bank was determined on the basis of the closing price of the Company’s 
common shares on acquisition date. 

The acquisition is expected to provide additional revenue growth with enhanced mortgage banking 
along with growth in commercial banking services through geographic expansion to Northern 
Kentucky.  Victory Community Bank results of operations were included in the Company’s income 
statement from April 7, 2020 through December 31, 2020.  The Company recorded merger-related 
expenses of $1,245,000 in 2020 related to the Victory Community Bank acquisition, and are 
substantially included in professional fees, data processing, marketing expenses on the income 
statement. 

Goodwill of $11,183,000 arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost 
savings resulting from combining operations of the companies.  The goodwill is tax deductible as 
the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition for tax purposes.  The fair value of 
intangible assets related to core deposits is $552,000.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value of adjustments to certain receivables that 
were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments were 
determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, the Company believes that all 
contractual cash flows related to these financial instruments will be collected.  As such, these 
receivables were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the 
guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans, which have shown evidence of credit 
deterioration since origination.  Receivables acquired that were not subject to these requirements 
include non-impaired loans and customer receivables with a fair value and gross contractual 
amounts receivable of $135,066,000 and $134,399,000 on the date of acquisition. 

The fair value of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration was $881,000 on the date of 
acquisition.  The gross contractual amounts receivable relating to the purchased financial assets 
with credit deterioration was $966,000.  The Company estimates, on the date of acquisition, that 
$85,000 of the contractual cash flows specific to the purchased financial assets with credit 
deterioration will not be collected.
