Note 1. Presentation of Financial Information
Nature of Business:
SmartFinancial, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, SmartBank (the "Bank"). The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its offices in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. The Bank's primary deposit products are noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits. Its primary lending products are commercial, residential, and consumer loans.
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Estimates:
The consolidated financial information in this report for June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 has not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The consolidated financial statements presented herein conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general industry practices. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim financial statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial condition, the results of operations, and cash flows for the interim period. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet, and 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets and deferred taxes, other than temporary impairments of securities, the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted certain accounting standard updates related to accounting for leases (Topic 842 - Leases), primarily Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-02 and subsequent updates. Among other things, these updates require lessees to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, related to the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising under a lease contract; and a right-of-use asset related to the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The updates did not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors and did not significantly impact the Company's consolidated financial statements in relation to contracts whereby the Company acts as a lessor. The Company adopted the updates using a modified-retrospective transition approach and recognized right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. See Note 8 Leases for more information.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases): 1) a lease liability, which is the present value of a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting under the new guidance remains largely unchanged as it is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. Leveraged leases have been eliminated, although lessors can continue to account for existing leveraged leases using the current accounting guidance. Other limited changes were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and the new revenue recognition standard. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will be required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. All entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. As the Company elected the transition option provided in ASU No. 2018-11 (see below), the modified retrospective approach was applied on January 1, 2019.
The Company also elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02 including the package of practical expedients, the option not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, and the option not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of twelve months or less). We elected to apply certain practical adoption expedients provided under the updates whereby we did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. The Company has several lease agreements, such as branch locations or office space, which are considered operating leases, and therefore, were not previously recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The new guidance requires these lease agreements to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income or the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 8 Leases for more information.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU No. 2016-02. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11: (1) entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing standard, and (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. The amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02 (January 1, 2019 for the Company). The Company adopted ASU 2018-11 on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 and elected both transition options mentioned above.
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (which previously only included payments to employees), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. This required entities to apply the requirements of Topic 718 to non-employee awards, except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (i.e., the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). Additionally, the amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in the grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards, and clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer, or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The premium on individual callable debt securities shall be amortized to the earliest call date. This guidance does not apply to securities for which prepayments are estimated on a large number of similar loans where prepayments are probable and reasonably estimable. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements:
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements issued since December 31, 2018 but not yet effective that could impact the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases: Codification Improvements (“ASU 2019-01”). ASU 2019-01 provides clarifications to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing essential information about leasing transactions. Specifically, ASU 2019-01 (i) allows the fair value of the underlying asset reported by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers to continue to be its cost and not fair value as measured under the fair value definition, (ii) allows for the cash flows received for sales-type and direct financing leases to continue to be presented as results from investing, and (iii) clarifies that entities do not have to disclose the effect of the lease standard on adoption year interim amounts. ASU 2019-01 will be effective for us on January 1, 2020 and will not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU changed the credit loss model on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, available for sale securities and certain purchased financial instruments. Credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost will be determined using a current expected credit loss model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. Purchased financial assets with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination ("PCD assets" which are currently named "PCI Loans") measured at amortized cost will have an allowance for credit losses established at acquisition as part of the purchase price. Subsequent increases or decreases to the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets will be recognized in the income statement. Interest income should be

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
recognized on PCD assets based on the effective interest rate, determined excluding the discount attributed to credit losses at acquisition. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses. The amount of the credit loss is limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost of the available-for-sale debt security. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years for the Company and other SEC filers. Early adoption is permitted and if early adopted, all provisions must be adopted in the same period. The amendments should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period adopted. A prospective approach is required for securities with other than temporary impairment recognized prior to adoption. The Company is continuing its implementation efforts through its company-wide implementation team. The implementation team meets periodically to discuss the latest developments and ensure progress is being made. The team also keeps current on evolving interpretations and industry practices related to ASU 2016-13 via webcasts, publications, conferences, and peer bank meetings. The team continues to evaluate and validate data resources and different loss methodologies. The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, in particular an increase to the level of the reserve for credit losses. However, the Company continues to evaluate the extent of the potential impact. The guidance of ASU 2016-13 was recently amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which changed the effective date for non-public companies and clarified that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of the standard.
On July 17, 2019 the Financial Accounting Standards Board unanimously voted to propose a delay for the implementation of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Board decided that CECL will be effective for PBEs that are SEC Filers, excluding SRCs as currently defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For calendar-year-end companies, this will be January 1, 2020. The determination of whether an entity is an SRC will be based on an entity’s most recent assessment in accordance with SEC regulations. For all other entities, the Board decided that CECL will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all entities, early adoption will continue to be permitted; that is, early adoption is allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (that is, effective January 1, 2019, for calendar-year-end companies). The Board decided that the comment period for the proposed Update would be 30 days.
Reclassifications:
Certain captions and amounts in the 2018 consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform to the 2019 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share represents net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance (excluding tax impact). Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, determined using the treasury stock method, and restricted stock awards, determined by the fair value of the Company's stock on date of grant.
The following is a summary of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation (dollars in thousands, except for share data):

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, securities with a carrying value totaling approximately $102.0 million and $103.7 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were approximately $17 million available-for-sale securities sold which resulted in approximately $34 thousand gross gains and $1 thousand losses realized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were approximately $25 million available-for-sale securities sold which resulted in no net gains or losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were approximately $5 million and $10 million available-for-sale securities redeemed, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, a security was called for less than the amortized cost resulting in a realized loss of $1 thousand.

At June 30, 2019, the categories of temporarily impaired securities in an unrealized loss position twelve months or greater are as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Gross Unrealized Loss |  | Number of Securities
U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) |  | $ | (65 | ) |  | 3 |
Municipal securities |  | (17 | ) |  | 4 |
Other debt securities |  | (42 | ) |  | 1 |
Mortgage-backed securities (GSEs) |  | (389 | ) |  | 47 |
|  | $ | (513 | ) |  | 55 |

The Company reviews the securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment. A determination as to whether a security's decline in fair value is other-than-temporary takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can very by security. Some factors the Company may consider in the other-than-temporary impairment analysis include the length of time and extent to which the security has been in an unrealized loss position, changes in security ratings, financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as security and industry specific economic conditions.
Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that any unrealized losses at June 30, 2019 represented a temporary impairment, as these unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the current market condition, and not credit deterioration of the issuers. As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not intend to sell any of the securities, does not expect to be required to sell any of the securities, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost of all of the securities.
The following is the amortized cost and carrying value of other investments (in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Federal Reserve Bank stock | $ | 7,909 |  |  | $ | 7,010 |
Federal Home Loan Bank stock | 4,646 |  |  | 4,139 |
First National Bankers Bank stock | 350 |  |  | 350 |
| $ | 12,905 |  |  | $ | 11,499 |

Our restricted investments consist of non-marketable equity securities that have no readily determinable market value. Accordingly, when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. As of June 30, 2019, the Company determined that there was no impairment on its other investment securities.

2 Includes loans held for sale.
For purposes of the disclosures required pursuant to the adoption of ASC 310, the loan portfolio was disaggregated into segments. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses.

Past Due Loans:
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management places a loan on nonaccrual when there is a clear indicator that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, impaired loans included loans that were classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs"). The restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.
In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the debtor is currently in payment default on any of its debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the debtor's projected cash flow is sufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.
The Company considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by the Company include the debtor's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan.
The most common concessions granted by the Company generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt; (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments; and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or remaining term of the loan. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management had approximately $62 thousand and $116 thousand, respectively, in loans that met the criteria for restructured, none of which were on nonaccrual.
There were no loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the six month period ended June 30, 2019. There was one commercial real estate loan for approximately $622 thousand modified as troubled debt restructurings during the six month period ended June 30, 2018.
There were no loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the past six months and for which there was a subsequent payment default.
Foreclosure Proceedings and Balances:
As of June 30, 2019, there was $257 thousand residential real estate included in other real estate owned and there were no consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing and depository needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The majority of all commitments to extend credit are variable rate instruments while the standby letters of credit are primarily fixed rate instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
A summary of the Company’s total contractual amount for all off-balance sheet commitments are as follows (in thousands):

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 376,037 |  |  | $ | 333,900 |
Standby letters of credit | 15,090 |  |  | 12,200 |

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established
in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit issued by the Company are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances which the Company deems necessary. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of liabilities related to the Company's obligation to perform under standby letters of credit was insignificant.
The Company is subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company will be material to the Company's consolidated financial position. On an on-going basis the Company assesses any potential liabilities or contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is deemed probable that the Company will incur losses and the amount of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company would record an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Fair Value Disclosures
Determination of Fair Value:
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ASC Topic 820, the fair value of a financial instrument 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 is best determined based upon quoted market prices. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
ASC Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact business at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 asset or liability.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Impaired Loans: Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-10-35, Receivables, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An impaired loan can be measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value of impaired loans was measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans or the discounted cash flows of the loans, as applicable. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable. The Company determines the value of the collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised values are discounted for costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors discussed above.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loans to other real estate. Subsequently, other real estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, a loss is recognized in noninterest expense.

Limitations:
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition,
the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
Note 7. Derivatives
Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative net investment hedge instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate tax-exempt callable securities available-for-sale. The hedging strategy on securities converts the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the call dates of the hedged securities. The Company has elected early adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which allows such partial term hedge designations.

Note 8. Leases
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and all subsequent ASUs that modified this topic (collectively referred to as "Topic 842"). For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.
Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate for branches and office space with terms extending through 2033. All of our leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized

SMARTFINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.
The following table represents the consolidated balance sheet classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the consolidated balance sheet (dollars in thousands):

| Classification |  | June 30, 2019
Assets: |  |  |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | Other assets |  | $ | 2,085 |
Liabilities: |  |  |
Operating lease liabilities | Other liabilities |  | $ | 2,099 |

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.
As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term was 7.49 years and the weighted average discount rate was 3.23%.
The following table represents lease costs and other lease information, in thousands. As the Company elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance (in thousands).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, two non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled “Net Interest Income and Yield Analysis”), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Certain captions and amounts in the prior periods presented were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity.

First six months of 2019 compared to 2018
Net income was $13.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2019, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2018.

Net Interest Income and Yield Analysis
Second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018
Net interest income, taxable equivalent, increased to $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net interest income was positively impacted compared to the prior year due to increases in average loan and securities balances and increases in the yields of the securities portfolios. Average earning assets increased from $1.72 billion for the second quarter of 2018 to $2.13 billion for the second quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of the acquisitions completed during 2018, and to a lesser extent, continued organic growth. Over this period, average loan balances increased by $331.6 million, average interest-bearing deposits increased by $280.5 million, and average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $53.5 million. The tax equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.94% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 4.57% for the second quarter of 2018, primarily resulting from increases in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The yield on earning assets decreased from 5.37% for the second quarter of 2018 to 5.17% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower loan yields stemming from decreased accretion income on acquired loans. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.96% for the second quarter of 2018 to 1.42% for the second quarter of 2019 due to increases in deposit rates from federal rate increases and increased competition.

First six months of 2019 compared to 2018
Net interest income, taxable equivalent, increased to $42 million for the first six months of 2019 from $36.4 million for the first six months of 2018. Net interest income was positively impacted compared to the prior year due to increases in average loan and securities balances and increases in the yields of the securities portfolios. Average earning assets increased from $1.64 billion for the first six months of 2018 to $2.10 billion for the first six months of 2019 primarily as a result of the acquisitions completed during 2018, and to a lesser extent, continued organic growth. Over this period, average loan balances increased by $393.4 million, average interest-bearing deposits increased by $329.1 million, and average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $71.0 million. The tax equivalent net interest margin decreased to 4.04% for the first six months of 2019, compared to 4.48% for the first six months of 2018, primarily resulting from increases in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The yield on loans decreased from 5.65% for the first six months of 2018 to 5.58% for the first six months of 2019, primarily due to lower loan yields stemming from decreased accretion income from acquired loans. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.88% for the first six months of 2018 to 1.37% for the first six months of 2019 due to increases in deposit rates from federal rate increases and increased competition.

Noninterest Income
Second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018
Noninterest income totaled $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest income to average assets of 1.44% for the quarter decreased from 0.33% in 2018. Noninterest income increased primarily due to the $6.4 million merger termination fee received in the second quarter of 2019. Other increases were due to customer service fees as a result of greater deposit account volumes from the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2018, increased income from mortgage banking and wealth investment commissions.

First six months of 2019 compared to 2018
Noninterest income totaled $10.1 million for the first six months of 2019, compared to $3.1 million first six months of 2018. Noninterest income to average assets of 0.88% for the period increased from 0.33% percent in 2018 . Noninterest income increased primarily due to the merger termination fee received in the second quarter of 2019 and due to customer service fees increasing due to the merger in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Noninterest Expense
Second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018
Noninterest expense totaled $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. Noninterest expense to average assets decreased from 3.18% a year ago to 2.88% in the quarter. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the prior year was primarily due to the acquisition of Tennessee Bancshares, Inc. in May 2018 and Foothills Bancorp, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2018 which resulted in higher salary and employee benefit expenses, higher occupancy expenses, and higher amortization of intangibles. Merger and restructuring expenses in 2019 were higher than 2018 due to the planned merger with Entegra Financial, which was subsequently terminated.
First six months of 2019 compared to 2018
Noninterest expense totaled $32.4 million first six months of 2019 compared to $28.5 million for the first six months of 2018.
Noninterest expense to average assets decreased from 3.14% a year ago to 2.82% in the quarter. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the prior year was primarily due to the acquisition of Tennessee Bancshares, Inc. in May 2018 and Foothills Bancorp, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2018 which resulted in higher salary and employee benefit expenses, higher occupancy expenses, higher advertising and marketing expense, and higher data processing expenses. Merger and restructuring expenses of $2.7 million in 2019 were higher than 2018 due to the planned merger with Entegra Financial, which was subsequently terminated.

Loan Portfolio Composition
The Company had total net loans outstanding, including organic and purchased loans, of approximately $1.83 billion at June 30, 2019 compared to $1.77 billion at December 31, 2018. Loans secured by real estate, consisting of commercial or residential property, are the principal component of our loan portfolio. We do not generally originate traditional long-term residential fixed rate mortgages for our portfolio but we do originate and hold traditional second mortgage residential real estate loans, adjustable rate mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Even if the principal purpose of the loan is not to finance real estate, when reasonable, we attempt to obtain a security interest in the real estate in addition to any other available collateral to increase the likelihood of ultimate repayment or collection of the loan.
Organic Loans
Our organic net loans increased by $194.3 million, or 16.9%, from December 31, 2018, to $1.34 billion at June 30, 2019. Our goal of streamlining the credit process has improved our efficiency and is a competitive advantage in many of our markets. In addition, the overall business environment continues to rebound from recessionary conditions. Organic loans include loans which were originally purchased non-credit impaired loans but have been renewed since purchase.
Purchased Loans
Purchased non-credit impaired loans of $451.6 million at June 30, 2019 decreased from $584.5 million at December 31, 2018. Since December 31, 2018, our net purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans decreased by $2.6 million to $31.6 million at June 30, 2019. The activity within the purchased credit impaired loans will be impacted by how quickly these loans are resolved and/or future acquisition activity.

Nonaccrual, Past Due, and Restructured Loans
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total gross loans, net of deferred fees, was 0.15% as of June 30, 2019, which decreased from 0.18% as of December 31, 2018. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets as of June 30, 2019 totaled 0.19% compared to 0.25% as of December 31, 2018. Acquired PCI loans that are included in loan pools are reclassified at acquisition to accrual status and thus are not included as nonperforming assets unless the pools are 90 days or greater past due.
The following table summarizes the Company's nonperforming assets for the periods presented (in thousands).

Potential Problem Loans
At June 30, 2019 potential problem loans amounted to approximately $457 thousand or 0.02% of total loans outstanding. Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming loans, represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the Bank’s primary regulators for loans classified as substandard or worse, but not considered nonperforming loans.
Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses
We maintain the allowance at a level that we deem appropriate to adequately cover the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our allowance for loan losses was $9.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, which we deemed to be adequate at each of the respective dates. The increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019, as compared to December 31, 2018 is primarily due to increased balances of our organic loan portfolio. Our allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans was 0.50% at June 30, 2019 and 0.47% at December 31, 2018.
Our purchased loans were recorded at fair value upon acquisition. The fair value adjustments on the performing purchased loans will be accreted into income over the life of the loans. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition. As of June 30, 2019 the notional balances on PCI loans was $44.9 million while the carrying value was $31.6 million. At June 30, 2019, there were $54 thousand of allowances on PCI loans.
The following table sets forth, based on our best estimate, the allocation of the allowance to types of loans for the periods presented and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans (dollars in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
|  | Amount |  | Percent |  | Amount |  | Percent
Commercial real estate-mortgage |  | $ | 4,102 |  |  | 45.1 | % |  | $ | 3,639 |  |  | 44.0 | %
Consumer real estate-mortgage |  | 2,189 |  |  | 24.1 | % |  | 1,789 |  |  | 21.6 | %
Construction and land development |  | 946 |  |  | 10.4 | % |  | 795 |  |  | 9.6 | %
Commercial and industrial |  | 1,746 |  |  | 19.2 | % |  | 1,746 |  |  | 21.1 | %
Consumer and other |  | 114 |  |  | 1.2 | % |  | 306 |  |  | 3.7 | %
Total allowance for loan losses |  | $ | 9,097 |  |  | 100.0 | % |  | $ | 8,275 |  |  | 100.0 | %

The increase in the overall allowance for loan losses is due to the increased balance of organic loans. The allocation by category is determined based on the assigned risk rating, if applicable, and environmental factors applicable to each category of loans. For impaired loans, those loans are reviewed for a specific allowance allocation. Specific valuation allowances related to impaired, non PCI, loans were approximately $534 thousand at December 31, 2018 compared to $345 thousand at June 30, 2019.

We assess the adequacy of the allowance at the end of each calendar quarter. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the views of the Bank’s regulators, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan quality indications and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.
Securities Portfolio
Our securities portfolio, consisting primarily of Federal agency bonds, state and municipal securities, and mortgage-backed securities amounted to fair values of $174.1 million and $201.7 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our investments to assets ratio decreased slightly from 8.9 percent at December 31, 2018 to 7.3 percent at June 30, 2019. Our investment portfolio serves many purposes including serving as a potential liquidity source, collateral for public funds, and as a stable source of income.

Deposits
Deposits are the primary source of funds for the Company's lending and investing activities. The Company provides a range of deposit services to businesses and individuals, including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, IRAs and CDs. These accounts generally earn interest at rates the Company establishes based on market factors and the anticipated amount and timing of funding needs. The establishment or continuity of a core deposit relationship can be a factor in loan pricing decisions. While the Company's primary focus is on establishing customer relationships to attract core deposits, at times, the Company uses brokered deposits and other wholesale deposits to supplement its funding sources. As of June 30, 2019, brokered deposits represented approximately 11.9% of total deposits.
The Company believes its deposit product offerings are properly structured to attract and retain core low-cost deposit relationships. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 1.42% compared to 0.96% for the same period in 2018 and 1.37% and 0.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in cost was due to increased competition and increases in deposit rates from federal rate increases and higher rates on interest-bearing deposit accounts.
Total deposits as of June 30, 2019 were $2.0 billion, which was an increase of $90.3 million from December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019 the Company had outstanding time deposits under $250,000 with balances of $329.7 million and time deposits over $250,000 with balances of $343.5 million.

Borrowings
The Company uses short-term borrowings and long-term debt to provide both funding and, to a lesser extent, regulatory capital using debt at the Company level which can be downstreamed as Tier 1 capital to the Bank. Short-term borrowings totaled $15.5 million at June 30, 2019 and $11.2 million at December 31, 2018, and consisted primarily of federal funds purchased. Long-term debt totaled $39.2 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and consisted of subordinated debt.
Capital Resources
The Company uses leverage analysis to examine the potential of the institution to increase assets and liabilities using the current capital base. The key measurements included in this analysis are the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, leverage and total capital ratios. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our capital ratios, including our Bank’s capital ratios, exceeded regulatory minimum capital requirements. From time to time we may be required to support the capital needs of our bank subsidiary. We believe we have various capital raising techniques available to us to provide for the capital needs of our bank, if necessary.
Liquidity and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2019, we had $376.0 million of pre-approved but unused lines of credit and $15.1 million of standby letters of credit. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon. The total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale, or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions.
Market Risk and Liquidity Risk Management
The Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for making decisions regarding liquidity and funding solutions based upon approved liquidity, loan, capital and investment policies. The ALCO must consider interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management when rendering a decision on funding solutions and loan pricing. To assist in this process the Bank has contracted with an independent third party to prepare quarterly reports that summarize several key asset-liability measurements. In addition, the third party will also provide recommendations to the Bank’s ALCO regarding future balance sheet structure, earnings and liquidity strategies. Two critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates the interest rate risk so that we can meet customer demands for various types of loans and deposits. ALCO determines the most appropriate amounts of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. The primary measurements we use to help us manage interest rate sensitivity are an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity model. As of March 31, 2019, the model simulations projected that 100 and 200 basis point increases in interest rates would result in positive variances in net interest income of 2.47% and 3.07%, respectively, relative to the current financial statement structure over the next twelve months, while a decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a negative variance in net interest income of (3.07)% relative to the current financial statement structure over the next twelve months. We do not believe there have been any material changes to the Company’s interest rate sensitivity from March 31, 2019 to the period ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity Risk Management
The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions.
Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates and intend to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position.
Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Additionally, debt security investments are subject to prepayment and call provisions that could accelerate their payoff prior to stated maturity. We attempt to price our deposit products to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Our ALCO is responsible for monitoring our ongoing liquidity needs. Our regulators also monitor our liquidity and capital resources on a periodic basis.
The Company has no significant investments that mature throughout the next 12 months. The Company also anticipates $13.1 million of principal payments from mortgage-backed securities over the same period. The Company also has unused borrowing capacity available with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinatti, the Federal Reserve, and several correspondent banks. With these sources of funds, the Company currently anticipates adequate liquidity to meet the expected obligations of its customers.
