A summary of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Watonga are as follows:

As of the acquisition date, the Company evaluated $117.3 million of net loans ($118.5 million gross loans less $1.2 million discount) purchased in conjunction with the acquisition of Watonga Bancshares, Inc. in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. As of December 31, 2023, the net loan balance of the ASC Topic 310-20 purchased loans is $48.4 million.

Upon acquisition, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminary and based on valuation estimates and assumptions. The accounting for business combinations require estimates and judgments regarding expectations of future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocations of those cash flows to identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The estimates and assumptions underlying the preliminary valuations were subject to collection of information necessary to complete the valuations (specifically related to projected financial information) within the measurement periods, which are up to one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation were made in the periods in which the adjustments were determined, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments were calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. As we are now outside of the measurement periods, no further adjustments will be made.
