CASS INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in Cass Information System, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Cass”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2020 and the breadth of the impact of the global emergence of COVID-19 on the Company’s business is currently unknown. Cass is closely monitoring developments related to COVID-19 checking regularly for updated information and recommendations from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from national, state, and local governments, and courses of action being taken by peers.

Financial position and results of operations - The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 has and will continue to negatively impact business activity throughout the world. The COVID-19 outbreak and associated counter-acting measures implemented by governments around the world, as well as increased business uncertainty, are having an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results and are discussed in more detail below. When and if COVID-19 is demonstrably contained, the Company anticipates a rebound in economic activity; however, any such rebound is contingent upon the rate and effectiveness of the containment efforts deployed by federal, state, and local governments. In light of the evolving health, social, economic and business environment, governmental regulations or mandates, and business disruptions that have occurred and could continue to occur, the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s financial condition and operating results remains highly uncertain.

In response to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which has adversely affected interest income and therefore, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

To the extent the business disruption continues for an extended period, additional cost management actions will be considered. Future asset impairment charges, increases in allowance for loan losses, or restructuring charges could be more likely and will be dependent on the severity and duration of this crisis.

For payment processing services, business closures, including constrictions in the manufacturing sector, have led to a decrease in the number of transactions and dollars processed due to the decline in customers’ business activity. In addition, the dampened demand for oil and resulting plummet in oil prices has had, and can continue to have, a negative effect on both the number of freight transactions processed and the dollar amount of invoices processed. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

Lending operations and credit - Bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities are urging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Accordingly, and in coordination with its primary regulators, the Company has deferred borrower principal payments on loans, on an as needed basis, for periods of up to six months.

Capital and liquidity - While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by future financial losses.

-8-

The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained available, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Bank’s customers to draw down deposits, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation - Currently, the Company does not expect COVID-19 to affect its ability to fairly value the assets on its balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, necessitate a goodwill or intangible asset impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

Processes, controls and business continuity - In accord with its federally mandated Pandemic Plan and Business Continuity Plan, Cass has deployed its remote workforce program. Most Cass employees around the globe are now working and conducting business remotely. Employees necessary to oversee certain business coordination activities or to conduct essential physical activities such as mail handling and scanning operations, remain in offices. In addition, employees are now being permitted to return to the offices on a voluntary basis. Employees are required to report any exposure or diagnosis and must adhere to the defined safety protocol to enter the offices.

In the past several years, Cass has invested in sophisticated technology initiatives that enable employees to operate remotely with full system(s) access along with unified and transparent voice and electronic communications capabilities, ensuring seamless service delivery. The Company cannot predict when or how it will fully lift the actions put in place as part of the Business Continuity Plan, including work from home requirements and travel restrictions. Cass does not believe the work from home protocol has materially adversely impacted internal controls, financial reporting systems, or operations.

Note 2 – Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FASB ASC 350”), which requires that intangibles with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment, or when management deems there is a triggering event, and those with finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives.

Details of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

|  | June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
(In thousands) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization

Total intangible assets |  | $ | 23,205 |  | $ | (5,091) |  | $ | 23,205 |  |  | (4,662)

1 Amortization through December 31, 2001 prior to adoption of FASB ASC 350.

The customer lists are amortized over 7 and 10 years; the patents over 18 years; the non-compete agreements over 2 and 5 years; software over 3 years and 7 years, the trade name over 20 years and other intangible assets over 15 years. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $429,000 and $209,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Estimated future amortization of intangibles is $859,000 in both 2020 and 2021, $540,000 in both 2022 and 2023, and $498,000 in 2024.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the SAR price during a period. Anti-dilutive shares are those SARs with prices in excess of the current market value. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands except share and per share data) |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019

Diluted earnings per share |  | $ | .37 |  | $ | .52 |  | $ | .89 |  | $ | 1.08

Note 4 – Stock Repurchases

The Company maintains a treasury stock buyback program pursuant to which the Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As restored by the Board of Directors on October 22, 2019, the program provides that the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock and has no expiration date. The Company repurchased 0 and 46,778 shares during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 128,779 and 154,593 shares for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, 371,221 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time depending on market conditions. As of March 16, 2020, the Company has temporarily suspended the treasury stock buyback program.

Note 5 – Industry Segment Information

The services provided by the Company are classified into two reportable segments: Information Services and Banking Services. Each of these segments provides distinct services that are marketed through different channels. They are managed separately due to their unique service and processing requirements.

The Information Services segment provides transportation, energy, telecommunication, and environmental invoice processing and payment services to large corporations. The Banking Services segment provides banking services primarily to privately held businesses and faith-based ministries, including on-line generosity services, as well as supporting the banking needs of the Information Services segment.

The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management evaluates segment performance based on tax-equivalized (as defined in the footnote to the chart on the following table) pre-tax income after allocations for corporate expenses. Transactions between segments are accounted for at what management believes to be fair value.

Substantially all revenue originates from, and all long-lived assets are located within the United States, and no revenue from any customer of any segment exceeds 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue.

Funding sources represent average balances and deposits generated by Information Services and Banking Services and there is no allocation methodology used. Segment interest income is a function of the relative share of average funding sources generated by each segment multiplied by the following rates:

-10-

•

Information Services – one or more fixed rates depending upon the specific characteristics of the funding source, and

•

Banking Services – a variable rate that is based upon the overall performance of the Company’s earning assets.

Any difference between total segment interest income and overall total Company interest income is included in Corporate, Eliminations, and Other.

Summarized information about the Company’s operations in each industry segment is as follows:

In support of the CARES Act, the Bank had processed nearly 350 applications for PPP loans of approximately $170,000,000 to provide much-needed cash to small business and self-employed taxpayers during the COVID-19 crisis. The loans were primarily made to existing bank customers and are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and no allowance for loan loss was recorded for these loans.

1 Loans subject to normal monitoring involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk, who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations.
2 Loans subject to special monitoring possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which requires a high level of management attention.

-12-

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When measuring impairment, the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan are discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. Alternatively, impairment could be measured by reference to an observable market price, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral for a collateral-dependent loan. Regardless of the historical measurement method used, the Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the Company determines foreclosure is probable. Additionally, impairment of a restructured loan is measured by discounting the total expected future cash flows at the loan's effective rate of interest as stated in the original loan agreement. To measure impairment at June 30, 2020, the optional use of the practical expedient to use the fair value of collateral was utilized. The Company uses its nonaccrual methods as discussed in greater detail in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impaired loans consist primarily of nonaccrual loans, loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest and troubled debt restructurings, both performing and nonperforming. Troubled debt restructuring involves the granting of a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty resulting in the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment schedule or interest rate. Management measures impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Allowance for Credit Losses. The fair value of the collateral is based upon an observable market price or current appraised value and therefore, the Company classifies these assets as nonrecurring Level 3. There were no non-accrual loans or loans delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. There were two loans classified as troubled debt restructurings totaling $9,682,000 and one loan that was considered impaired totaling $2,500,000 at June 30, 2020 and none at December 31, 2019. There were no foreclosed loans recorded as other real estate owned (included in other assets) as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The following table presents the recorded investment and unpaid principal balance for impaired loans at June 30, 2020. There were no impaired loans at December 31, 2019 or June 30, 2019.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risks that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments and commitments under operating leases. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. The Company’s maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these instruments.

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. Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company or its subsidiaries to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These off-balance sheet financial instruments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. At June 30, 2020, the balance of unused loan commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit were $197,932,000, $10,710,000, and $650,000, respectively. Since some of the financial instruments may expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting standards as those financial instruments included on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of the credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but is generally accounts receivable, inventory, residential or income-producing commercial property or equipment. In the event of nonperformance, the Company or its subsidiaries may obtain and liquidate the collateral to recover amounts paid under guarantees on these financial instruments.

-13-

The following table summarizes contractual cash obligations of the Company related to time deposits at June 30, 2020:

| Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period
(In thousands) | Total |  | Less than 1 Year |  | 1-3 Years |  | 3-5 Years |  | Over 5 Years
Time deposits | $ | 68,246 |  | $ | 46,188 |  | $ | 21,922 |  | $ | 136 |  | $ | —

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate resolution of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock and Performance Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) permits the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. The Company may issue shares out of treasury stock for these awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 32,403 restricted shares, 32,910 performance-based restricted shares, and no SARs were granted under the Omnibus Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $756,000 and $560,000, respectively, and $1,478,000 and $1,417,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Restricted shares granted to Company employees are amortized to expense over the three-year cliff vesting period. Restricted shares granted to members of the Board of Directors are amortized to expense over a one-year service period, with the exception of those shares granted in lieu of cash payments for retainer fees which are expensed in the period earned.

As of June 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $2,023,000, and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately .84 years.

Following is a summary of the activity of the restricted stock:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
|  | Shares |  | Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 123,272 |  | $ | 47.24
Granted |  |  | 32,403 |  |  | 48.21
Vested |  |  | (20,369) |  |  | 49.32
Forfeited |  |  | (4,962) |  |  | 50.08
Balance at June 30, 2020 |  |  | 130,344 |  | $ | 47.05

Performance-Based Restricted Stock

The Company has granted three-year performance based restricted stock (“PBRS”) awards which are contingent upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established financial goals over a three-year cliff vest period. The number of shares issued ranges from 0% to 150% of the target opportunity based on the actual achievement of financial goals for the three-year performance period.

-14-

Following is a summary of the activity of the PBRS, based on target value:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
|  | Shares |  | Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 102,116 |  | $ | 49.13
Granted |  |  | 32,910 |  |  | 54.02
Vested |  |  | (29,175) |  |  | 49.33
Forfeited |  |  | (7,441) |  |  | 50.08
Balance at June 30, 2020 |  |  | 98,410 |  | $ | 50.64

The PBRS that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 achieved financial goals of 117.3%, resulting in the issuance of 34,222 shares of common stock. The outstanding PBRS at June 30, 2020 will vest at scheduled vesting dates and the actual number of shares of common stock issued will range from 0% to 150% of the target opportunity based on the actual achievement of financial goals for the respective three-year performance period.

SARs

There were no SARs granted and no expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s SARs program for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020:

|  | Shares |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |  | Average Remaining Contractual Term Years |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2019 |  | 155,292 |  | $ | 32.58 |  | 2.92 |  | $ | 3,908
Exercised |  | (10,293) |  |  | 26.72 |  | — |  |  | —
Exercisable at June 30, 2020 |  | 144,999 |  | $ | 32.99 |  | 2.46 |  | $ | 1,109

There were no non-vested SARs at June 30, 2020.

Note 9 – Defined Pension Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan, which covers eligible employees. Effective December 31, 2016, the plan was closed to all new participants. The Company accrues and makes contributions designed to fund normal service costs on a current basis using the projected unit credit with service proration method to amortize prior service costs arising from improvements in pension benefits and qualifying service prior to the establishment of the plan over a period of approximately 30 years. Disclosure information is based on a measurement date of December 31 of the corresponding year. The following table represents the components of the net periodic pension costs:

(In thousands) |  | Estimated 2020 |  | Actual 2019
Service cost – benefits earned during the year |  | $ | 4,312 |  | $ | 3,555
Interest cost on projected benefit obligations |  |  | 3,903 |  |  | 4,103
Expected return on plan assets |  |  | (6,051) |  |  | (4,753)
Net amortization |  |  | 1,890 |  |  | 1,559
Net periodic pension cost |  | $ | 4,054 |  | $ | 4,464

Pension costs recorded to expense were $1,027,000 and $1,186,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $2,056,000 and $2,365,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Pension costs decreased in 2020 primarily due to improved asset performance and a contribution made during 2019, which were partially offset by a decrease in the discount rate. The Company made no contribution to the plan during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and is evaluating the amount of additional contributions, if any, in the remainder of 2020.

-15-

In addition to the above funded benefit plan, the Company has an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan which covers key executives of the Company. This is a noncontributory plan in which the Company and its subsidiaries make accruals designed to fund normal service costs on a current basis using the same method and criteria as its defined benefit plan. The following table represents the components of the net periodic pension costs for 2019 and an estimate for 2020:

(In thousands) |  | Estimated 2020 |  | Actual 2019
Service cost – benefits earned during the year |  | $ | 121 |  | $ | 97
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation |  |  | 347 |  |  | 408
Net amortization |  |  | 112 |  |  | 276
Net periodic pension cost |  | $ | 580 |  | $ | 781

Pension costs recorded to expense were $145,000 and $196,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were $290,000 and $391,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Pension costs decreased primarily due to the unrecognized loss being amortized over the remaining expected life of the participants rather than the remaining expected service period as almost all of the plan’s participants are inactive. This was partially offset by a decrease in the discount rate.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 17.3% and 18.5% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 17.8% and 18.0% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 and 2019 effective tax rates for the three and six-month periods differ from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax-exempt interest received from municipal bonds.

Note 11 – Investment in Securities

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value using Level 2 valuations. The market evaluation utilizes several sources which include “observable inputs” rather than “significant unobservable inputs” and therefore fall into the Level 2 category. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value of investment securities are summarized as follows:

|  | June 30, 2020
(In thousands) |  | Amortized Cost |  | Gross Unrealized Gains |  | Gross Unrealized Losses |  | Fair Value
State and political subdivisions |  | $ | 287,151 |  | $ | 18,615 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 305,766

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment in Securities – The fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 valuations. Refer to Note 11, “Investment in Securities,” for fair value and unrealized gains and losses by investment type.

Loans – The fair value is estimated using present values of future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted interest rates for each loan category designated by management and is therefore a Level 3 valuation. Management believes that the risk factor embedded in the interest rates along with the allowance for loan losses result in a fair valuation.

Accrued Interest Receivable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits – The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities and therefore, is a Level 2 valuation. The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market or the benefit derived from the customer relationship inherent in existing deposits.

Accounts and Drafts Payable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Accrued Interest – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

No financial instruments are measured using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Note 13 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The services that fall within the scope of FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“FASB ASC 606”), are presented within fee revenue and other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and are recognized as revenue as the obligation to the customer is satisfied. Services within the scope of FASB ASC 606 include invoice processing and payment fees, bank service fees, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Since interest income on loans and securities are both excluded from this topic, a significant portion of the Company’s revenues are not subject to the guidance.

Invoice processing fees – The Company earns fees on a per-item or monthly basis for the invoice processing services rendered on behalf of customers. Per-item fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied. Monthly fees are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the performance obligation is satisfied. The contracts have no significant impact of variable consideration and no significant financing components.

Invoice payment fees – The Company earns fees on a transaction level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments. Fees are recognized at the point in time when the payment transactions are made, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. The contracts have no significant impact of variable consideration and no significant financing components.

Bank service fees – Revenue from service fees consists of service charges and fees on deposit accounts under depository agreements with customers to provide access to deposited funds. Service charges on deposit accounts are transaction based fees that are recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied. Service charges are recognized on a monthly basis representing the period over which the performance obligation is satisfied. The contracts have no significant impact of variable consideration and no significant financing components.

OREO – The Company currently does not have any OREO and has not in recent years. Net gains or losses would be recorded when other real estate is sold to a third party and substantially all of the consideration for the transfer of property is received.

Note 14 – Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 – Leases (ASC Topic 842). The Company leases certain premises under operating leases. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had lease liabilities of $6,916,000 and right-of-use assets of $6,192,000. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had lease liabilities of $7,290,000 and right-of-use assets of $6,570,000. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are reflected in other liabilities and other assets, respectively. Presented within occupancy expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2020, operating lease cost was $419,000, short-term lease cost was $33,000, and there was no variable lease cost. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the operating lease cost was $837,000, short-term lease cost was $57,000, and there was no variable lease cost. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term for the operating leases was 6.5 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 5.5%. Certain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew the lease; however, these renewal options are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. There has been no significant change in the Company’s expected future minimum lease payments since December 31, 2019. See the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding these commitments.

A maturity analysis of operating lease liabilities and undiscounted cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows:

(In thousands) |  | June 30, 2020
Lease payments due |  |  |
Less than 1 year |  | $ | 1,856

There were no sale and leaseback transactions, leveraged leases, or lease transactions with related parties during the six months ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any leases that had not yet commenced.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events after the consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2020. With the exception of COVID-19 as discussed in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation,” there were no events identified that would require additional disclosures to prevent the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements from being misleading.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business

The breadth of the impact of the global emergence of COVID-19 on the Company’s business remains unknown. Cass is closely monitoring developments related to COVID-19 checking regularly for updated information and recommendations from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from national, state, and local governments, and courses of action being taken by peers. Cass remains committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for employees while offering assurance that it remains a financially strong service provider possessing the resources necessary to weather this storm in support of its valued customers.

Bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities are urging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Accordingly, and in coordination with its primary regulators, the Company has deferred borrower principal payments on loans, on an as needed basis, for periods of up to six months. In support of the CARES Act, the Bank had processed nearly 350 applications for PPP loans of approximately $170,000,000 to provide much-needed cash to small business and self-employed taxpayers during the COVID-19 crisis. The loans were primarily made to existing bank customers and are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.

For further discussion on COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”

Overview

Cass provides payment and information processing services to large manufacturing, distribution and retail enterprises from its offices/locations in St. Louis, Missouri, Columbus, Ohio, Greenville, South Carolina, Wellington, Kansas, Jacksonville, Florida, Breda, Netherlands, Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and Singapore. The Company’s services include freight invoice rating, payment processing, auditing, and the generation of accounting and transportation information. Cass also processes and pays energy invoices, which include electricity and gas as well as waste and telecommunications expenses, and is a provider of telecom expense management solutions. Cass solutions include a B2B payment platform for clients that require an agile fintech partner. Additionally, the Company offers an on-line platform to provide generosity services for faith-based and non-profit organizations. The Company’s bank subsidiary, Cass Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), supports the Company’s payment operations. The Bank also provides banking services to its target markets, which include privately-owned businesses and faith-based ministries in the St. Louis metropolitan area as well as other selected cities in the United States.

The specific payment and information processing services provided to each customer are developed individually to meet each customer’s requirements, which can vary greatly. In addition, the degree of automation such as electronic data interchange, imaging, work flow, and web-based solutions varies greatly among customers and industries. These factors combine so that pricing varies greatly among the customer base. In general, however, Cass is compensated for its processing services through service fees and investment of account balances generated during the payment process. The amount, type, and calculation of service fees vary greatly by service offering, but generally follow the volume of transactions processed. Interest income from the balances generated during the payment processing cycle is affected by the amount of time Cass holds the funds prior to payment and the dollar volume processed. Both the number of transactions processed and the dollar volume processed are therefore key metrics followed by management. Other factors will also influence revenue and profitability, such as changes in the general level of interest rates, which have a significant effect on net interest income. The funds generated by these processing activities are invested in overnight investments, investment grade securities, and loans generated by the Bank. The Bank earns most of its revenue from net interest income, or the difference between the interest earned on its loans and investments and the interest paid on its deposits and other borrowings. The Bank also assesses fees on other services such as cash management services.

-20-

Industry-wide factors that impact the Company include the willingness of large corporations to outsource key business functions such as freight, energy, telecommunication and environmental payment and audit. The benefits that can be achieved by outsourcing transaction processing, and the management information generated by Cass’ systems can be influenced by factors such as the competitive pressures within industries to improve profitability, the general level of transportation costs, deregulation of energy costs, and consolidation of telecommunication providers. Economic factors that impact the Company include the general level of economic activity that can affect the volume and size of invoices processed, the ability to hire and retain qualified staff, and the growth and quality of the loan portfolio. The general level of interest rates also has a significant effect on the revenue of the Company. As discussed in greater detail in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a decline in the general level of interest rates can have a negative impact on net interest income and conversely, a rise in the general level of interest rates can have a positive impact on net interest income. The cost of fuel is another factor that has a significant impact on the transportation sector. As the price of fuel goes up or down, the Company’s earnings increase or decrease with the dollar amount of transportation invoices.

Currently, management views Cass’ major opportunity as the continued expansion of its payment and information processing service offerings and customer base. Management intends to accomplish this by maintaining the Company’s leadership position in applied technology, which when combined with the security and processing controls of the Bank, makes Cass unique in the industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in this report in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates have been generally accurate in the past, have been consistent and have not required any material changes. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The accounting policy that requires significant management estimates and is deemed critical to the Company’s results of operations or financial position has been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and is described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to assess overall collectability. The level of the allowance for loan losses reflects management’s estimate of the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although these estimates are based on established methodologies for determining allowance requirements, actual results can differ significantly from estimated results. These policies affect both segments of the Company. The impact and associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations are discussed in the “Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this report. The Company’s estimates have been materially accurate in the past. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, the Company elected to defer the adoption of the current expected credit losses methodology and expects to continue to utilize the present processes until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date the national emergency declaration is terminated.

Results of Operations

The following paragraphs more fully discuss the results of operations and changes in financial condition for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (“Second Quarter of 2020”) compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 (“Second Quarter of 2019”) and the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (“First Half of 2020”) compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 (“First Half of 2019”). The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report, as well as in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the Second Quarter and First Half of 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be attained for any other period.

Fee Revenue and Other Income

The Company’s fee revenue is derived mainly from transportation and facility payment and processing fees. As the Company provides its processing and payment services, it is compensated by service fees which are typically calculated on a per-item basis and by the accounts and drafts payable balances generated in the payment process which can be used to generate interest income. Processing volumes, fee revenue and other income were as follows:

|  | Second Quarter of |  | First Half of
(In thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | % Change |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | % Change
Transportation invoice volume |  | 7,294 |  |  | 9,222 |  | (20.9)% |  |  | 15,574 |  |  | 18,170 |  | (14.3)%

* Includes energy, telecom and environmental

Second Quarter of 2020 compared to Second Quarter of 2019:

Payment and processing fee revenue decreased 16%. Transportation volumes for invoices and dollars declined 21% and 20%, respectively. With manufacturing companies representing an important component of the transportation customer base, the previously reported contraction in the sector, combined with the effects of COVID-19, created significant challenges. Facility-related invoice and dollar volume declined 3% and 18%, respectively, as the impact of COVID-19 spawned customer bankruptcies or significant loss of dollar volume in the restaurant, retail and hospitality sectors as customers either temporarily closed locations or operated with minimal services.

There were no gains on the sales of securities in the Second Quarter of 2020, compared to $8,000 in gains in the Second Quarter of 2019.

First Half of 2020 compared to First Half of 2019:

Payment and processing revenue decreased 10% for the same reasons as the Second Quarter. Transportation invoice and dollar volumes, as well as expense management transaction and dollar volumes, fluctuated for the same reasons as the Second Quarter.

Gains of $1,069,000 on the sales of securities were recognized in the First Half of 2020, compared to gains of $19,000 in the First Half of 2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments, and other earning assets and interest expense on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s revenues. The following table summarizes the changes in tax-equivalent net interest income and related factors:

|  | Second Quarter of |  | First Half of

* | Presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 21% for both 2020 and 2019.

Second Quarter of 2020 compared to Second Quarter of 2019:

Second Quarter of 2020 average earning assets increased $193,432,000, or 13.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average loans increased $194,666,000, or 25.3%, due to the PPP loans and federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions increased $185,404,000, or 211.0%. These were partially offset as other short-term investments decreased $128,193,000, or 88.6%, and average investment securities decreased $56,763,000, or 13.3%, in the Second Quarter of 2020 compared to the Second Quarter of 2019.

Total non-interest-bearing liabilities for the Second Quarter of 2020 increased $100,431,000, or 38.7% and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $98,948,000, or 26.1%, compared to the Second Quarter of 2019 as the funds from the PPP loans largely remained in deposit accounts. Average accounts and drafts payable decreased $33,076,000, or 4.3%, in the Second Quarter of 2020 compared to the Second Quarter of 2019.

The changes to the interest rate environment led to decreases in net interest income and the net interest margin. The impact of this was partially offset by higher average earning assets.

First Half of 2020 compared to First Half of 2019:

First Half of 2020 average earning assets increased $121,367,000, or 8.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Loans increased $136,189,000, or 18.3% due to the PPP loans and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions increased $87,635,000, or 76.7%. These were offset by a decrease in average investment securities of $50,618,000, or 11.7%, and a decrease in average federal funds sold and short-term investments of $50,251,000, or 35.7%, for the First Half of 2020 as compared to the First Half of 2019.

Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $62,743,000, or 23.7%, and total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $59,266,000, or 15.4%, compared to the First Half of 2019 as the funds from the PPP loans largely remained in deposit accounts and higher time deposits. These were partially offset by a decrease in the average accounts and drafts payable balances for the First Half of 2020 of $7,643,000, or 1.0%, Net interest income and net interest margin were impacted by the same factors as the Second Quarter.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)

A significant determinant of the Company’s operating results can be the provision for loan losses. There was a loan loss provision of $400,000 recorded in the Second Quarter of 2020 to support the growth in the loan portfolio and as a result of the impact of COVID-19 while no loan loss provision was recorded in the Second Quarter of 2019. There was a loan loss provision of $725,000 recorded in the First Half of 2020 to support the growth in the loan portfolio and as a result of the impact of COVID-19 while there was a loan loss provision of $250,000 in the First Half of 2019. As discussed below, the Company continually analyzes the outstanding loan portfolio based on the performance, financial condition and collateralization of the credits. Net loan recoveries were $3,000 during the Second Quarter of 2020 and $20,000 during the Second Quarter of 2019. Net loan recoveries were $11,000 in the First Half of 2020 and $31,000 during the First Half of 2019.

The ALLL at June 30, 2020 was $11,292,000 and at December 31, 2019 was $10,556,000. The ratio of ALLL to total loans outstanding was 1.17% and 1.37% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In support of the CARES Act, the Bank had processed nearly 350 applications for PPP loans of approximately $170,000,000 to provide much-needed cash to small business and self-employed taxpayers during the COVID-19 crisis. The loans were primarily made to existing bank customers and are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and no allowance for loan loss was recorded for these loans. There were no nonperforming loans at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The ALLL has been established and is maintained to absorb reasonably estimated and probable losses in the loan portfolio. An ongoing assessment is performed to determine if the balance is adequate. Charges or credits are made to expense to cover any deficiency or reduce any excess, as required. The current methodology consists of two components: 1) estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired in accordance with FASB ASC 310, “Allowance for Credit Losses,” and 2) estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio in accordance with FASB ASC 450, “Contingencies.” Estimated credit losses is an estimate of the current amount of loans that is probable the Company will be unable to collect according to the original terms.

For loans that are individually evaluated, the Company uses two impairment measurement methods: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows and 2) collateral value. For the remainder of the portfolio, the Company groups loans with similar risk characteristics into eight segments and applies historical loss rates to each segment based on a five fiscal-year look-back period. In addition, qualitative factors including credit concentration risk, national and local economic conditions, nature and volume of loan portfolio, legal and regulatory factors, downturns in specific industries including losses in collateral value, trends in credit quality at the Company and in the banking industry and trends in risk-rating agencies are also considered.

The Company also utilizes ratio analysis to evaluate the overall reasonableness of the ALLL compared to its peers and required levels of regulatory capital. Federal and state agencies review the Company’s methodology for maintaining the ALLL. These agencies may require the Company to adjust the ALLL based on their judgments and interpretations about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the Second Quarter of 2020 were down 8.7%, or $2,614,000, compared to the Second Quarter of 2019 as personnel expense decreased due to the decline in transportation and facility-related transaction volumes. Total operating expenses for the First Half of 2020 were down $2,147,000, or 3.7%, compared to the First Half of 2019 for the same reason as the Second Quarter.

Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2020 were $1,828,984,000, an increase of $64,741,000, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2019. The most significant changes in asset balances during this period were increases in loans of $191,088,000 due to the PPP loans and cash and cash equivalents of $28,185,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other assets of $66,121,000, payments in excess of funding of $43,948,000, and in security investments of $42,694,000. Changes in cash and cash equivalents reflect the Company’s daily liquidity position and are affected by the changes in the other asset balances and changes in deposit and accounts and drafts payable balances.

Total liabilities at June 30, 2020 were $1,580,457,000 an increase of $60,404,000, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2019. Total deposits at June 30, 2020 were $825,956,000, an increase of $68,820,000, or 9.1%, from December 31, 2019 as the funds from the PPP loans largely remained in deposit accounts. Accounts and drafts payable at June 30, 2020 were $687,538,000, an increase of $3,243,000, or 0.5%, from December 31, 2019.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2020 was $248,527,000, a $4,337,000, or 1.8%, increase from December 31, 2019. Total shareholders’ equity increased due to net income of $12,984,000 and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4,379,000. These were offset by dividends paid of $7,811,000 and share repurchases of $5,508,000.

Accounts and drafts payable will fluctuate from period-end to period-end due to the payment processing cycle, which results in lower balances on days when payments clear and higher balances on days when payments are issued. For this reason, average balances are a more meaningful measure of accounts and drafts payable (for average balances refer to the tables under the “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity; Interest Rate and Interest Differential” section of this report).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The balance of liquid assets consists of cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds sold and money market funds, and was $232,139,000 at June 30, 2020, an increase of $28,185,000, or 13.8%, from December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, these assets represented 12.7% of total assets. These funds are the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ primary source of liquidity to meet future expected and unexpected loan demand, depositor withdrawals or reductions in accounts and drafts payable.

Secondary sources of liquidity include the investment portfolio and borrowing lines. Total investment in securities was $379,971,000 at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $42,694,000 from December 31, 2019. These assets represented 20.8% of total assets at June 30, 2020. Of this total, 80% were state and political subdivision securities. Of the total portfolio, 14.5% mature in one year, 23.5% mature in one to five years, and 62.0% mature in five or more years.

The Bank has unsecured lines of credit at correspondent banks to purchase federal funds up to a maximum of $83,000,000 at the following banks: US Bank, $20,000,000; UMB Bank, $20,000,000; Wells Fargo Bank, $15,000,000; PNC Bank, $12,000,000; Frost National Bank, $10,000,000; and JPM Chase Bank, $6,000,000. The Bank also has secured lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $193,362,000 collateralized by commercial mortgage loans. The Company also has secured lines of credit with UMB Bank of $75,000,000 and First Horizon Bank of $75,000,000 collateralized by state and political subdivision securities. There were no amounts outstanding under any line of credit as of June 30, 2020. There was $18,000,000 outstanding under the lines of credit discussed above at December 31, 2019. The amount outstanding at the end of the 2019 was borrowed on December 31, 2019 and repaid on January 2, 2020.

In addition to the lines of credit discussed above, as of April 21, 2020 the Bank was approved for the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility. The Bank can receive non-recourse loans with the previously mentioned PPP loans pledged as collateral. The Bank can borrow an amount up to 100% of the amount of the PPP loans, which was $172,563,000 as of June 30, 2020.

The deposits of the Company's banking subsidiary have historically been stable, consisting of a sizable volume of core deposits related to customers that utilize other commercial products of the Bank. The accounts and drafts payable generated by the Company has also historically been a stable source of funds. The Company is part of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposit placement programs. Time deposits include $41,521,000 of CDARS deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits include $88,323,000 of ICS deposits. These programs offer the Bank’s customers the ability to maximize Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage. The Company uses these programs to retain or attract deposits from existing customers.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $32,655,000 for the First Half of 2020, compared to $26,373,000 for the First Half of 2019, an increase of $6,282,000. Net cash flows from investing and financing activities fluctuate greatly as the Company actively manages its investment and loan portfolios and customer activity influences changes in deposit and accounts and drafts payable balances. Other causes for the changes in these account balances are discussed earlier in this report. Due to the daily fluctuations in these account balances, the analysis of changes in average balances, also discussed earlier in this report, can be more indicative of underlying activity than the period-end balances used in the statements of cash flows. Management anticipates that cash and cash equivalents, maturing investments and cash from operations will continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and capital expenditures in 2020, which are estimated to range from $4 million to $6 million.

The Company faces market risk to the extent that its net interest income and fair market value of equity are affected by changes in market interest rates. For information regarding the market risk of the Company’s financial instruments, see Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

There are several trends and uncertainties that may impact the Company’s ability to generate revenues and income at the levels that it has in the past. In addition, these trends and uncertainties may impact available liquidity. Those that could significantly impact the Company include the general levels of interest rates, business activity, and energy costs as well as new business opportunities available to the Company.

-28-

As a financial institution, a significant source of the Company’s earnings is generated from net interest income. Therefore, the prevailing interest rate environment is important to the Company’s performance. A major portion of the Company’s funding sources are the non-interest bearing accounts and drafts payable generated from its payment and information processing services. Accordingly, higher levels of interest rates will generally allow the Company to earn more net interest income. Conversely, a lower interest rate environment will generally tend to depress net interest income. The Company actively manages its balance sheet in an effort to maximize net interest income as the interest rate environment changes. This balance sheet management impacts the mix of earning assets maintained by the Company at any point in time. For example, in a low interest rate environment, short-term relatively lower rate liquid investments may be reduced in favor of longer term relatively higher yielding investments and loans. If the primary source of liquidity is reduced in a low interest rate environment, a greater reliance would be placed on secondary sources of liquidity including borrowing lines, the ability of the Bank to generate deposits, and the investment portfolio to ensure overall liquidity remains at acceptable levels. For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”

The overall level of economic activity can have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and income, as the volume and size of customer invoices processed may increase or decrease. Higher levels of economic activity increase both fee income (as more invoices are processed) and balances of accounts and drafts payable. For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.” Lower levels of economic activity, such as those experienced by the Company as a result of COVID-19 and governmental actions related thereto, decrease both fee income and balances of accounts and drafts payable.

The relative level of energy costs can impact the Company’s earnings and available liquidity. Lower levels of energy costs will tend to decrease transportation and energy invoice amounts resulting in a corresponding decrease in accounts and drafts payable. Decreases in accounts and drafts payable generate lower interest income. For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”

New business opportunities are an important component of the Company’s strategy to grow earnings and improve performance. Generating new customers allows the Company to leverage existing systems and facilities and grow revenues faster than expenses.

The Basel III Capital Rules require FDIC insured depository institutions to meet and maintain several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0%, a total capital to risk-based assets of 8.0%, and a 4.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio.

Common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital generally includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus Additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is comprised of capital instruments and related surplus meeting specified requirements. Also included in Tier 2 capital is the allowance for loan losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and, for non-advanced approaches institutions like Cass that have exercised a one-time opt-out election regarding the treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. The calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in applicable regulations.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and U.S. government securities, a risk weight of 50% is generally assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one to four-family residential mortgages, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans, and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors.

-29-

Fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules require banking organizations, like Cass, to maintain:

•

a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;

•

a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;

•

a minimum ratio of total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer; and

•

a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average consolidated assets.

The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face limitations on the payment of dividends, common stock repurchases and discretionary cash payments to executive officers based on the amount of the shortfall.

The Company and the Bank continue to exceed all regulatory capital requirements, as evidenced by the following capital amounts and ratios:

| June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
(Dollars in thousands) | Amount |  | Ratio |  | Amount |  | Ratio
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Inflation

The Company’s assets and liabilities are primarily monetary, consisting of cash, cash equivalents, securities, loans, payables and deposits. Monetary assets and liabilities are those that can be converted into a fixed number of dollars. The Company's consolidated balance sheet reflects a net positive monetary position (monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities). During periods of inflation, the holding of a net positive monetary position will result in an overall decline in the purchasing power of a company. Management believes that replacement costs of equipment, furniture, and leasehold improvements will not materially affect operations. The rate of inflation does affect certain expenses, such as those for employee compensation, which may not be readily recoverable in the price of the Company’s services.

Impact of New and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held, which include allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio, rather than incurred losses, which include allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio. Under this standard, the Company will be required to hold an allowance equal to the expected life-of-loan losses on the loan portfolio. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and was adopted on January 1, 2020. The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and includes provisions that temporarily delay the required implementation date of ASU 2016-13. The Company has elected to defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date the national emergency declaration is terminated as permitted by the CARES Act.

The Company formed a cross-functional working group under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer comprised of individuals from various functional areas including credit, risk management, finance, and accounting that addressed the adoption and implementation of the ASU. The Company currently expects the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and an increase of up to 25% of the allowance for loan losses and the reserves for unfunded commitments. The expected increase is a result of changing from an incurred loss model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an expected loss model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio based upon reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The ASU also requires an allowance to be established for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets, however the Company does not expect these allowances to be significant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company manages its interest rate risk through measurement techniques that include gap analysis and a simulation model. As part of the risk management process, asset/liability management policies are established and monitored by management. The policy objective is to limit the change in annualized net interest income to 15% from an immediate and sustained parallel change in interest rates of 200 basis points. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant uncertainty and market volatility, which may result in the deterioration of the Company’s risk position since December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that, as of such date, these controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in the Second Quarter of 2020 in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer in connection with their evaluation that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of all such proceedings will not have a material effect on the businesses or financial conditions of the Company or its subsidiaries.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company has included in Part I, Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). There are no material changes to the Risk Factors as disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the risks described below.

The COVID-19 pandemic creates significant risks and uncertainties for the Company’s business and results of operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and manufacturing, lowered energy prices, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities, including those in major markets in which Cass Commercial Bank, the Company’s St. Louis, Missouri-based bank subsidiary, is located or does business.

As a result, the demand for the Company’s products and services has been, and will continue to be, significantly impacted. Demand for payment and information processing services by manufacturing, distribution, and retail enterprises, and loans and other products and services that the Company and the Bank offer and on which success the Company relies to drive growth, is highly dependent upon the business environment in the primary markets in which the Company operates and in the United States as a whole.

-31-

Business closures, including constrictions in the manufacturing sector, have decreased volumes in the Company’s payment and information processing services due to the decline in customers’ business activity. In addition, the dampened demand for oil and resulting plummet in oil prices has had, and can continue to have, a negative effect on both the number of freight transactions processed and the dollar amount of invoices processed.

Furthermore, the pandemic could influence the recognition of credit losses in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios and increase its allowance for credit losses, as both businesses and consumers are negatively impacted by the economic downturn. Bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities are urging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. In response to the pandemic and in coordination with its primary regulators, the Company has deferred borrower principle payments on loans, on an as needed basis, for periods of up to six months. In addition, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which has and could continue to adversely affect interest income and therefore, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of its workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of quarantines, illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, travel restrictions, technology limitations and/or disruptions, including remote working measures and their attendant cybersecurity risks. Furthermore, the business operations of the Company and the Bank may be disrupted due to vendors and third-party service providers being unable to work or provide services effectively, including because of quarantines, illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as its regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may heighten many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K including, but not limited to, risks of credit deterioration, interest rate changes, governmental actions, market volatility, security breaches and technology interruptions.
