(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
General
Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range of banking services
to individuals and
commercial customers in Lee County,
Alabama and surrounding areas through its wholly owned subsidiary,
AuburnBank
(the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking that are considered
material.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, these financial statements
do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements.
The unaudited
consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present a fair
statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods
or the entire year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the balance sheet date 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 in the near term
include the determination of allowance for credit losses investment securities, the
determination of the allowance for credit
losses on loans, fair value of financial instruments, and the valuation of deferred
tax assets and other real estate owned
(“OREO”).
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”
or “updates”) 2014-09,
Revenue
from Contracts with Customers
, codified at
Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”)
606. The Company adopted ASC
606 using the modified retrospective transition method.
The majority of the Company’s revenue stream
is generated from
interest income on loans and securities which are outside the scope of ASC 606.
The Company’s sources of income that
fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposits, interchange
fees and gains and losses on sales of other real estate, all of which are presented as components of
noninterest income. The
following is a summary of the revenue streams that fall within the scope of ASC 606:
●
Service charges on deposits, investment services, ATM
and interchange fees – Fees from these services are either
transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied
when the individual transaction is processed,
or set periodic service charges, for which the performance obligations are
satisfied over the period the service is
provided. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time
the transaction is processed, and periodic service
charges are recognized over the service period.
●
Gains on sales of OREO
–
A gain on sale should be recognized when a contract for sale exists and control of the
asset has been transferred to the buyer.
ASC 606 lists several criteria required to conclude that a contract for sale
exists, including a determination that the institution will collect substantially all of the consideration
to which it is
entitled.
In addition to the loan-to-value ratio, the analysis is based on various other factors
,
including the credit
quality of the borrower, the structure of the loan, and any other
factors that we believe may affect collectability.

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the effects of events and transactions through
the date of this filing that have occurred
subsequent to March 31, 2023.
The Company does not believe there were any material subsequent events during this
period that would have required
further recognition or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements
included in this report except as
reported in Note 8, Subsequent Events.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
-period presentation. These
reclassifications had no material effect on the Company’s
previously reported net earnings or total stockholders’ equity.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit
Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced
the incurred loss methodology with an
expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”)
methodology. CECL requires
an
estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical
experience, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to
financial assets measured at amortized cost,
including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off
-balance sheet credit exposures such as
unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized
cost will be presented at the net amount
expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses.
In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt
securities. One such change is to require
credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt
securities if management
does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required
to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto
effective January 1, 2023 using the
modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized
cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures.
The transition adjustment upon the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023 included
an increase in the allowance for credit
losses on loans of $
1.0
million, which is presented as a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance
for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $
0.1
million, which is recorded within other liabilities. The Company
recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $0.8 million as of January 1, 2023
for the cumulative effect of adopting
CECL, which reflects the transition adjustments noted above, net of the applicable deferred
tax assets recorded. Results for
reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior
period amounts continue to be
reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt
securities for which other-than-
temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have
any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. Therefore,
upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company determined
that an allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities was not deemed
material.
The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable
and instead elected to
reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status,
which is generally when the instrument is
90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company
has concluded that
this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.
The Company also adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Troubled Debt
Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”
on January 1, 2023, the effective date of the guidance, on a prospective basis.
ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements
for certain loan
refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing
financial difficulty.
Specifically, rather than
applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity
must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring
guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an
existing loan. Additionally,
ASU
2022-02 requires an entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs
by year of origination for financing receivables within
the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at
Amortized Cost. ASU 2022-02 did not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Table of Contents
10
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff are reported
at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums
and discounts and
deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans is recorded
in other assets on the consolidated balance
sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees,
net of certain direct origination
costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a
level yield without anticipating
prepayments.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and
is not well collateralized and in
the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and
business conditions and collection
efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course
of business. Past due status is based on
contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has
not been received 30 days
after the contractual due date.
All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status. Interest received on such
loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.
Under the cost-recovery
method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to
zero. Loans are returned to accrual status
when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a
sustained period of repayment
performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized
cost basis to present the net
amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged
off against the allowance when management believes the
uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate
of amounts previously
charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s
estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the
balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant
available information, from
both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and
supportable forecasts.
The Company’s loan loss estimation process includes
procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of
its
loan segments (commercial and industrial, construction and land development,
commercial real estate, multifamily,
residential real estate, and consumer loans).
These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes, the level at which
credit quality is monitored.
See Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information about our loan
portfolio.
Credit loss assumptions are estimated using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model
for each loan segment,
except consumer
loans.
The weighted average remaining life method is used to estimate credit loss assumptions
for consumer loans.
The DCF model calculates an expected life-of-loan loss percentage by considering the
forecasted probability that a
borrower will default (the “PD”), adjusted for relevant forecasted macroeconomic
factors, and LGD, which is the estimate
of the amount of net loss in the event of default.
This model utilizes historical correlations between default experience and
certain macroeconomic factors as determined through a statistical regression analysis.
The forecasted Alabama
unemployment rate is considered in the model for commercial and industrial,
construction and land development,
commercial real estate,
multifamily, and residential real estate
loans.
In addition, forecasted changes in the Alabama home
price index is considered in the model for construction and land development and residential
real estate loans; forecasted
changes in the national commercial real estate (“CRE”) price index is considered in the
model for commercial real estate
and multifamily loans; and forecasted changes in the Alabama gross state product
is considered in the model for
multifamily loans.
Projections of these macroeconomic factors, obtained from an independent
third party, are utilized to
predict quarterly rates of default based on the statistical PD models.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loan, adjusted for
expected prepayments and principal
payments (“curtailments”) when appropriate. Management's determination
of the contract term excludes expected
extensions, renewals, and modifications unless the extension or
renewal option is included in the contract at the reporting
date and is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
To the extent the lives of the
loans in the portfolio extend
beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be
made (which is 4 quarters for the Company), the
Company reverts, on a straight-line basis back to the historical rates over an 8 quarter
reversion period.
Table of Contents
11
The weighted average remaining life method was deemed most appropriate
for the consumer loan segment because
consumer loans contain many different payment structures,
payment streams and collateral.
The weighted average
remaining life method uses an annual charge-off rate over several vintages
to estimate credit losses.
The average annual
charge-off rate is applied to the contractual term adjusted for prepayments.
Additionally, the allowance
for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk
factors that are
believed likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from
historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may
increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience
and risk tolerance, loan
review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations,
trends in
underlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When
management determines that
foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty,
the expected credit losses are based on the
estimated fair value of collateral held at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as
appropriate.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments,
such as commitments to make loans and commercial
letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s
exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet
loan commitments is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded
when they are funded.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance
sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to
extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision
for credit losses in the Company’s consolidated
statements of earnings.
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures
is estimated by loan segment
at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same
methodologies as portfolio loans,
taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party
guarantees. The allowance for
unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets.
On January 1, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment for unfunded commitments of $77
thousand for the adoption of
ASC 326. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision
for credit losses for unfunded
commitments of $
26
thousand. At March 31, 2023, the liability for credit losses on off-balance-sheet
credit exposures
included in other liabilities was $
0.3
million.
NOTE 2: BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for
the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Diluted net earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that
could occur upon exercise of securities or other rights for,
or convertible into, shares of the Company’s common
stock.
At
March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively,
the Company had no such securities or rights issued or outstanding, and
therefore,
no dilutive effect to consider for the diluted net earnings per share calculation.
The basic and diluted net earnings per share computations for the respective periods
are presented below

NOTE 3: VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITIES
Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”)
is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal structure that does not have
equity investors with substantive or proportional voting rights or has equity investors
that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities.
At March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any consolidated VIEs to disclose but did
have one nonconsolidated VIE,
discussed below.
New Markets Tax
Credit Investment
The New Markets Tax Credit
(“NMTC”) program provides federal tax incentives to investors to make investments in
distressed communities and promotes economic improvement through the development
of successful businesses in these
communities.
The NMTC is available to investors over seven years and is subject to recapture if certain events occur
during such period.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively,
the Company had one such investment in the
amounts of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheets.
The Company’s equity investment in the
NMTC entity meets the definition of a VIE. While the Company’s
investment exceeds 50% of the outstanding equity interests, the Company does not consolidate
the VIE because it does not
meet the characteristics of a primary beneficiary since the Company lacks the power to direct
the activities of the VIE.

For the securities in the previous table, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to
sell or is more likely than not that
the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized
cost basis, which may be maturity.
Because the Company currently does not intend to sell those securities that have an
unrealized loss at March 31, 2023 and it
is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required
to sell the security before recovery of their amortized cost
bases, which may be maturity,
the Company has determined that no credit loss is necessary.
In addition, the Company
evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value of available-for-sale
securities is the result of credit deterioration,
which would require the recognition of a provision to increase the allowance
for credit losses. Such evaluations consider the
extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings
and any other known
adverse conditions related to the specific security.
The unrealized losses associated with available-for-sale
securities at
March 31, 2023 are driven by changes in market interest rates and are not due to the credit quality of the
securities, and
accordingly, no allowance
for credit losses is considered necessary related to available-for-sale
securities at March 31,
2023. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of the Company's ongoing
evaluation of credit quality.
Management evaluates the financial performance of the issuers on a quarterly basis to determine
if it is probable that the
issuers can make all contractual principal and interest payments.
Realized Gains and Losses
The Company had no realized gains and losses on sale of securities during the quarters ended
March 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.

Loans secured by real estate were approximately
86.4%
of the Company’s total loan portfolio
at March 31, 2023.
At March
31, 2023, the Company’s geographic
loan distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,
Alabama, and
surrounding areas.
The loan portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic
method for
determining its allowance for credit losses. As part of the Company’s
quarterly assessment of the allowance, the loan
portfolio included the following portfolio segments: commercial and industrial,
construction and land development,
commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer installment. Where appropriate,
the Company’s loan portfolio
segments are further disaggregated into classes. A class is generally determined based
on the initial measurement attribute,
risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity’s
method for monitoring and determining credit risk.
The following describes
the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments
and classes.
Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) —
includes loans to finance business operations, equipment purchases, or
other needs
for small and medium-sized commercial customers. Also included
in this category are loans to finance agricultural
production.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities
of the
borrower.
Construction and land development (“C&D”) —
includes both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing,
carrying,
and developing land into commercial developments or residential subdivisions.
Also included are loans and credit
lines for construction of residential, multi-family,
and commercial buildings. Generally,
the primary source of repayment is
dependent upon the sale or refinance of the real estate collateral.
Commercial real estate
(“CRE”) —
includes loans in these classes:
●
Owner occupied
– includes loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment and
owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized
commercial customers.
Generally,
the primary
source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities of the borrower,
who owns the
property.
●
Hotel/motel
– includes loans for hotels and motels.
Generally, the primary source of repayment
is dependent upon
income generated from the hotel/motel securing the loan.
The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health of the borrower.
●
Multi-family
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing multi-family properties
.
These include loans
for 5 or more unit residential properties and apartments leased to residents. Generally
,
the primary source of
repayment is dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral.
The underwriting of these loans
takes into consideration the occupancy and rental rates,
as well as the financial health of the respective borrowers.
Table of Contents
15
●
Other
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing commercial properties
other than hotels/motels and
multi-family properties, and which
are not owner occupied.
Loans in this class include loans for neighborhood
retail centers, medical and professional offices, single retail stores,
industrial buildings, and warehouses leased to
local and other businesses.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated
from
the real estate collateral. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the occupancy and rental rates,
as well as the financial health of the borrower.
Residential real estate (“RRE”) —
includes loans in these two classes:
●
Consumer mortgage
– primarily includes first or second lien mortgages and home equity lines of credit
to
consumers that are secured by a primary residence or second home. These loans are underwritten
in accordance
with the Bank’s general loan policies and
procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of
each borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit history
,
and property value.
●
Investment property
– primarily includes loans
to finance income-producing 1-4 family residential properties.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated
from leasing the property
securing the loan. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the rental rates and
property values, as
well as the financial health of the borrowers.
Consumer installment —
includes loans to individuals,
which may be secured by personal property or are unsecured.
Loans
include personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and other retail loans.
These loans are underwritten in accordance with
the Bank’s general loan policies and procedures
which require, among other things, proper documentation of each
borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit history,
and, if applicable, property values.

Credit Quality Indicators
The credit quality of the loan portfolio is summarized no less frequently than quarterly using categories
similar to the
standard asset classification system used by the federal banking agencies.
The following table presents credit quality
indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes by year of origination as of March 31,
2023. These categories are
utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses using historical losses adjusted
for qualitative and
environmental factors and are defined as follows:
●
Pass – loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity
of the obligor (or guarantors, if
any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral.
●
Special Mention – loans with potential weakness that may,
if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or
inadequately protect the Company’s position
at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do
not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.
●
Substandard Accruing – loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness which presently jeopardizes
debt repayment,
even though they are currently performing. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility
that the
Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected
.
●
Nonaccrual – includes loans where management has determined that full
payment of principal and interest is not
expected.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, which introduced
the CECL methodology for estimating all expected
losses over the life of a financial asset. Under the CECL methodology,
the allowance for credit losses is measured on a
collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics, and for loans that do
not share similar risk characteristics
with the collectively evaluated pools, evaluations are performed on an individual
basis.

NOTE 6: MORTGAGE SERVICING
RIGHTS, NET
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized based on the fair value of the
servicing rights on the date the
corresponding mortgage loans are sold.
An estimate of the Company’s MSRs is determined
using assumptions that market
participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates
of prepayment speeds, discount rate,
default rates, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing
fee income, ancillary income, and late fees.
Subsequent to the date of transfer, the Company
has elected to measure its MSRs under the amortization method.
Under
the amortization method, MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period
of, estimated net servicing income.
Increases in market interest rates generally increase the fair value of MSRs by reducing
prepayments and refinancings and
therefore reducing the prepayment speed.
The Company has recorded MSRs related to loans sold to Fannie Mae.
The Company generally sells conforming, fixed-
rate, closed-end, residential mortgages to Fannie Mae.
MSRs are included in other assets on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.
Impairment is determined by stratifying MSRs into
groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate and loan type.
If, by individual stratum, the
carrying amount of the MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established.
The valuation allowance is adjusted
as the fair value changes.
Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in earnings
as a component of mortgage
lending income.

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE
Fair Value
Hierarchy
“Fair value” is defined by ASC 820,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures
, as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market
(or most advantageous
market in the absence of a principal market) for an asset or liability at the measurement date.
GAAP establishes a fair
value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical
assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
inputs that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect the
Company’s own assumptions about the
inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Level changes in fair value measurements
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are generally
recognized at the end of each reporting period.
The
Company monitors the valuation techniques utilized for each category of
financial assets and liabilities to ascertain when
transfers between levels have been affected.
The nature of the Company’s financial assets
and liabilities generally is such
that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be infrequent. For the three months ended
March 31, 2023, there were
no transfers between levels and no changes in valuation techniques for the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities.
Table of Contents
24
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
Securities available-for-sale
Fair values of securities available for sale were primarily measured using
Level 2 inputs.
For these securities, the Company
obtains pricing data from third party pricing services.
These third party pricing services consider observable data that
may
include broker/dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, benchmark yields, reported
trades for similar securities, market
consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the securities’ terms and
conditions.
On a quarterly basis,
management reviews the pricing data received from the third party pricing services
for reasonableness given current market
conditions.
As part of its review, management
may obtain non-binding third party broker/dealer quotes to validate the fair
value measurements.
In addition, management will periodically submit pricing information
provided by the third party
pricing services to another independent valuation firm on a sample basis.
This independent valuation firm will compare the
prices
provided by the third party pricing service with its own prices
and will review the significant assumptions and
valuation methodologies used with management.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis as of March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively,

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis
Collateral Dependent Loans
Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral securing the loan
less estimated selling costs. The
fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on real estate appraisals
which are generally based on recent sales of
comparable properties which are then adjusted for property specific factors.
Non real estate collateral is valued based on
various sources, including third party asset valuations and internally determined
values based on cost adjusted for
depreciation and other judgmentally determined discount factors. Collateral dependent
loans are classified within Level 3 of
the hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral
values and the borrower's
underlying financial condition.
Table of Contents
25
Mortgage servicing rights, net
MSRs, net, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value.
MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices.
To determine the fair
value of
MSRs, the Company engages an independent third party.
The independent third party’s
valuation model calculates the
present value of estimated future net servicing income using assumptions that
market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount
rates, default rates, cost to service, escrow
account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, and late
fees.
Periodically, the Company
will review
broker surveys and other market research to validate significant assumptions used
in the model.
The significant
unobservable inputs include prepayment speeds or the constant prepayment rate (“CPR”)
and the weighted average
discount rate.
Because the valuation of MSRs requires the use of significant unobservable
inputs, all of the Company’s
MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis as of
March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively,

Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not
recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. The assumptions used in the
estimation of the fair value of the Company’s
financial instruments are explained below.
Where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow analyses.
Discounted cash flows can be
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate
and estimates of future cash flows. The
following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
markets and should not be considered
representative of the liquidation value of the Company’s
financial instruments, but rather are good-faith estimates
of the fair
value of financial instruments held by the Company.
ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair
value of its financial instruments:
Loans, net
Fair values for loans were calculated using discounted cash flows. The discount rates reflected
current rates at which similar
loans would be made for the same remaining maturities. Expected
future cash flows were projected based on contractual
cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.
The fair value of loans was measured using an exit price notion.
Time Deposits
Fair values for time deposits were estimated using discounted cash flows. The
discount rates were based on rates currently
offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
The carrying value,
related estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s
financial
instruments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented below.
This table excludes financial instruments for
which the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Financial assets for which fair value approximates carrying
value
included cash and cash equivalents.
Financial liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value
included
noninterest-bearing demand deposits,
interest-bearing demand deposits, and savings deposits.
Fair value approximates
carrying value in these financial liabilities due to these products having no stated
maturity.
Additionally, financial
liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included overnight
borrowings such as federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
