(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: Civista Bancshares, Inc. (CBI) is an Ohio corporation and a registered financial holding company. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CBI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Civista Bank (Civista), First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. (FCIA), Water Street Properties, Inc. (Water St.), FC Refund Solutions, Inc. (FCRS) and CIVB Risk Management, Inc. (CRMI). FCRS was formed to facilitate payment of individual state and federal income tax refunds. CRMI is a wholly-owned captive insurance company which allows the Company to insure against certain risks unique to its operations and its subsidiaries. The operations of CRMI are located in Wilmington, Delaware. First Citizens Capital LLC (FCC) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds inter-company debt. The operations of FCC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. First Citizens Investments, Inc. (FCI) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds and manages its securities portfolio. The operations of FCI are located in Wilmington, Delaware. FCIA was formed to allow the Company to participate in commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. Insurance commission revenue was less than 1.0% of total revenue through June 30, 2018. Water Street Properties was formed to hold properties repossessed by CBI subsidiaries. Revenue from Water St. was less than 1.0% of total revenue through June 30, 2018. The above companies together are referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Management considers the Company to operate primarily in one reportable segment, banking.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2018 and its results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 have been made. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions of Form 10-Q, and therefore certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s 2017 annual report. The Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

The Company provides financial services through its offices in the Ohio counties of Erie, Crawford, Champaign, Franklin, Logan, Madison, Summit, Huron, Ottawa, Richland, Montgomery and Cuyahoga. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Civista has two concentrations, one is to Lessors of Non-Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $301,003, or 25.4% of total loans, as of June 30, 2018 and the other is to Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $147,497, or 12.5% of total loans, as of June 30, 2018. These segments of the portfolio are stable and have been conservatively underwritten, monitored and managed by experienced commercial bankers. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the area. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include Federal Funds sold and deposit accounts in other financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is regularly reviewed by management to determine that the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. If not, an additional provision is made to increase the allowance. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed impaired loans, the pooling of commercial credits risk graded as special mention and substandard that are not individually analyzed, and general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions, among other items.

Those judgments and assumptions that are most critical to the application of this accounting policy are assessing the initial and on-going credit-worthiness of the borrower, the amount and timing of future cash flows of the borrower that are available for repayment of the loan, the sufficiency of underlying collateral, the enforceability of third-party guarantees, the frequency and subjectivity of loan reviews and risk ratings, emerging or changing trends that might not be fully captured in the historical loss experience, and charges against the allowance for actual losses that are greater than previously estimated. These judgments and assumptions are dependent upon or can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the breadth and depth of experience of lending officers, credit administration and the corporate loan review staff that periodically review the status of the loan, changing economic and industry conditions, changes in the financial condition of the borrower and changes in the value and availability of the underlying collateral and guarantees.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on availab le information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, impairment of goodwill, fair values of financial instruments, deferred taxes and pension obligations are particularly subject to change.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Business Combinations: At the date of acquisition the Company records the assets and liabilities of acquired companies on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value. The results of operations for acquired companies are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning at the acquisition date. Expenses arising from acquisition activities are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period incurred.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to facilitate the risk management strategies of a small number of commercial banking customers. All derivatives are accounted for in accordance with ASC-815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly rated third party financial institutions. The swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes because the Company does not currently intend to execute a setoff with its counterparties. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of marketable securities, is posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds.

Change in Accounting Principal:

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This accounting standard (a) requires separate presentation of equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) on the balance sheet and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 during the reporting period. The adoption resulted in the Company recognizing a one-time cumulative effect adjustment of $278 on January 1, 2018 between accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet for the fair value of the equity securities included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of the beginning of the period. The adjustment had no impact on net income for any prior periods presented.

On a prospective basis, the Company implemented changes to the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments using an exit price notion for disclosure purpose s in Note 13 to the financial statements. The December 31, 2017, fair value of each class of financial instruments disclosure did not utilize the exit price notion when measuring fair value and, therefore, would not be comparable to the June 3 0, 2018 disclosure. The Company estimated the fair value based on guidance from ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction be tween market participants at the measurement date. There is no active observable market for sale information on community bank loans and, thus, Level 3 fair value procedures were utilized, primarily in the use of present value techniques incorporating ass umptions that market participants would use in estimating fair values. The fair value of loans held for investment, excluding impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount r ates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit and nonperformance risk of the loans. Loans are considered a Level 3 classification.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” Under the new guidance, employers are required to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item (e.g., Salaries and Benefits) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of net periodic benefit cost separately (e.g., Other Noninterest Expense) from the line item that includes the service cost. ASU No. 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 and has retrospectively applied the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the consolidated statement of income statement of operations. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effect of Newly Issued but Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard in this Update requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which: (a) the lease term is 12 months or less, and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact to the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1% increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of ASU 2016-13 is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Im pairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instea d, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by wh ich the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer, such as the Company, should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down-round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down-round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down- round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options ), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part I of this Update should be applied either retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective or retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 850), the objective of which is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the amendments in this Update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application and disclosure of the hedge accounting guidance in current general accepted accounting principles. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in any period after issuance. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this Update. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842), which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity a dopts Topic 842; otherwise, an entity should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The effective date and transitio n requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operat ions.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10), to clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. (1) An entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative may change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820. (2) Adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place. (3) Remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities. (4) When the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10- 45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives, or 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall. (5) Financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates. (6) The prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value in the amendments in Update 2016-01 is meant only for instances in which the measurement alternative is applied. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018, and public business entities with fiscal years beginning between June 15, 2018, and December 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments before adopting the amendments in Update 2016-01. All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplified the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments in this update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this Update improve the following areas of nonemployee share-based payment accounting; (a) the overall measurement objective, (b) the measurement date, (c) awards with performance conditions, (d) classification reassessment of certain equity-classified awards, (e) calculated value (nonpublic entities only), and (f) intrinsic value (nonpublic entities only). The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, represents changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification. The amendments in this ASU affect the amendments in ASU 2016-02, which are not yet effective, but for which early adoption upon issuance is permitted. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At June 30, 2018, there were 130 securities in the portfolio with unrealized losses mainly due to higher market rates when compared to the time of purchase. Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ securities are of high credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to market yields increasing. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or reset date. The Company does not intend to sell until recovery and does not believe selling will be required before recovery.

The following table presents the net gains and losses on equity investments recognized in earnings for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2018, and the portion of unrealized gains and losses for the period that relates to equity investments held at June 30, 2018:

(5) Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has an established methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loss migration rates for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating loan loss allowance allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve. The following economic factors are analyzed:

| • | Changes in lending policies and procedures

| • | Changes in experience and depth of lending and management staff

| • | Changes in quality of credit review system

| • | Changes in nature and volume of the loan portfolio

| • | Changes in past due, classified and nonaccrual loans and TDRs

| • | Changes in economic and business conditions

| • | Changes in competition or legal and regulatory requirements

| • | Changes in concentrations within the loan portfolio

| • | Changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $12,867 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at June 30, 2018. The following tables present, by portfolio segment, the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The following tables present credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The risk rating analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

| • | Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

| • | Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

| • | Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Civista will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

| • | Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

| • | Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

The following tables present performing and nonperforming loans based solely on payment activity for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 that have not been assigned an internal risk grade. The types of loans presented here are not assigned a risk grade unless there is evidence of a problem. Payment activity is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to evaluate performance. Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due or if management thinks that we may not collect all of our principal and interest. Nonperforming loans also include certain loans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions due to economic status. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

Nonaccrual Loans: Loans are considered for nonaccrual status upon reaching 90 days delinquency, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the unpaid principal balance. A loan may be returned to accruing status only if one of three conditions are met: the loan is well-secured and none of the principal and interest has been past due for a minimum of 90 days; the loan is a TDR and has made a minimum of six months payments; or the principal and interest payments are reasonably assured and a sustained period of performance has occurred, generally six months.

Modifications: A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when the Company for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Comp any offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial Real Estate loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. Residential Real Estate loans modified in a TDR primarily involve interest rate reductions where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs.

Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates. As of June 30, 2018, TDRs accounted for $148 of the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2017, TDRs accounted for $169 of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were as follows:

Recidivism, or the borrower defaulting on its obligation pursuant to a modified loan, results in the loan once again becoming a non-accrual loan. Recidivism occurs at a notably higher rate than do defaults on new origination loans, so modified loans present a higher risk of loss than do new origination loans.

During both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, there were no defaults on loans that were modified and considered TDRs during the respective twelve previous months.

Impaired Loans: Larger (greater than $350) Commercial & Agricultural and Commercial Real Estate loan relationships, all TDRs and Residential Real Estate and Consumer loans that are part of a larger relationship are tested for i mpairment on a quarterly basis. These loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less th an the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired financing receivables, excluding PCI loans, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Under the “if converted” method, all convertible preferred shares are assumed to be converted into common shares at the corresponding conversion rate. These additional shares are then added to the common shares outstanding to calculate diluted earnings per share.

(10) Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customers’ financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as the conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk of credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of commitment. The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows for June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

|  | Contract Amount |
|  | June 30, 2018 |  |  | December 31, 2017 |
|  | Fixed Rate |  |  | Variable Rate |  |  | Fixed Rate |  |  | Variable Rate |

(11) Pension Information

The Company sponsors a pension plan which is a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Annual payments, subject to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, are made to a pension trust fund. In 2006, the Company amended the pension plan to provide that no employee could be added as a participant to the pension plan after December 31, 2006. In 2014, the Company amended the pension plan again to provide that no additional benefits would accrue beyond April 30, 2014.

(12) Equity Incentive Plan

At the Company’s 2014 annual meeting, the shareholders adopted the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan (“2014 Incentive Plan”). The 2014 Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant options, stock awards, stock units and other awards for up to 375,000 common shares of the Company. There were 269,495 shares available for future grants under this plan at June 30, 2018.

During each of the last three years, the Board of Directors has awarded restricted common shares to senior officers of the Company. The restricted shares vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant date. The product of the number of restricted shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common shares determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

On May 16, 2017, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 6,804 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2018 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $144.

On September 11, 2017, a newly appointed director of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, was paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 367 common shares was issued as payment of her retainer for her service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2018 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $8.

(13) Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are identifiable on the measurement date; Level 2: Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.

Debt securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Equity securities: The Company’s equity securities are not actively traded in an open market. The fair values of these equity securities available for sale is determined by using market data inputs for similar securities that are observable (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of the swap asset/liability: The fair value of the swap asset and liability is based on an external derivative model using data inputs as of the valuation date and classified Level 2. The changes in fair value of these assets/liabilities had no impact on net income or comprehensive income.

Impaired loans: The Compa ny has measured impairment on impaired loans generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. Additionally, management makes estimates about expected costs to sell the property which are also included i n the net realizable value. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan is less than the carrying amount of the loan, a specific reserve for the loan is made in the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair va lue of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included as a Level 3 measurement.

Other real estate owned: OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is measured at the date of foreclosure. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, no charge-off or adjustment is necessary, the loan is not considered to be carried at fair value, and is therefore not included in the table below. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, management will charge the loan down to its estimated realizable value. Management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. In these cases, the properties are categorized in the below table as Level 3 measurements since these adjustments are considered to be unobservable inputs. Income and expenses from operations are included in other operating expenses. Further declines in the fair value of the collateral subsequent to foreclosure are included in net gain on sale of other real estate owned.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized in the table below.

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in the note are consistent with our methodologies disclosed in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K, except for the valuation of loans held for investment which was impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-01. In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the fair value of loans held for investment, excluding impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit and nonperformance risk of the loans. Loans are considered a Level 3 classification.

The carrying amount and fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2018 are as follows:

Cash and due from financial institutions: The carrying amounts for cash and due from financial institutions approximate fair value because they have original maturities of less than 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Other securities: The carrying value of regulatory stock approximates fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Loans, held-for-sale: Loans held for sale are priced individually at market rates on the day that the loan is locked for commitment to an investor. Because the holding period of such loans is typically short, the carrying value generally approximates the fair value at the time the commitment is received. All loans in the held-for-sale account conform to Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines, with specific intent of the loan being purchased by an investor at the predetermined rate structure.

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses: Fair values for loans, other than impaired, are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans has been estimated by discounting expected future cash flows of the underlying portfolios. The discount rates used in these calculations are generally derived from the treasury yield curve and are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate inherent in the loan. The estimated maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs used in discounted cash flow analysis, such as the discount rate or prepayment speeds, could lead to changes in the underlying fair value.

Bank owned life insurance: The carrying value of bank owned life insurance approximates the fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Accrued interest receivable and payable and securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value because they are generally received or paid in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.

The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The deposits’ fair value estimates 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, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advan ces: Rates available to the Company for borrowed funds with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowed funds.

Subordinated debentures: The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows of the underlying debt agreements. The discount rate is estimated using the current rate for the borrowing from the FHLB with the most similar terms.

(14) Derivative Hedging Instruments

To accommodate customer need and to support the Company’s asset/liability positioning, on occasion we enter into interest rate swaps with a customer and a bank counterparty. The Company enters into a floating rate loan and a fixed rate swap with our customer. Simultaneously, the Company enters into an offsetting fixed rate swap with a bank counterparty. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay a bank counterparty the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These transactions allow the Company’s customer to effectively convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans. Since the Company acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swap positions and the impact of a 1 basis point change in interest rates as of June 30, 2018.

|  | Notional Amount |  |  | Weighted Average Rate Received/(Paid) |  |  | Impact of a 1 basis point change in interest rates |  |  | Repricing Frequency

The Company monitors and controls all derivative products with a comprehensive Board of Director approved commercial loan swap policy. All hedge transactions must be approved in advance by the Lenders Loan Committee or the Directors Loan Committee of the Board of Directors.

(15) Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments

The Company invests in certain qualified affordable housing projects. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the balance of the investment for qualified affordable housing projects was $3,792 and $3,204, respectively. These balances are reflected in the other assets line on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The unfunded commitments related to the investments in qualified affordable housing projects totaled $3,664 and $4,510 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized amortization expense with respect to its investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $258 and $165, offset by tax credits and other benefits from its investment in affordable housing tax credits of $426 and $276, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized amortization expense with respect to its investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $129 and $82, offset by tax credits and other benefits from its investment in affordable housing tax credits of $207 and $138, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not incur impairment losses related to its investment in qualified affordable housing projects.

(16) Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies, the implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and annuity and insurance commissions. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges

Service charges consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

ATM/Interchange Fees

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Mastercard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Wealth Management Fees

Wealth management fees are primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Tax Refund Processing Fees

The Company facilitates the payment of federal and state income tax refunds in partnership with a third-party vendor. Refund Transfers (“RTs”) are fee-based products whereby a tax refund is issued to the taxpayer after the Company has received the refund from the federal or state government. As part of this agreement the Company earns fee income, the majority of which is received in the first quarter of the year. The Company’s fee income revenue is recognized based on the estimated percent of business completed by each date.

Other

Other noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as check order fees, wire transfer fees, safety deposit box rental fees, item processing fees and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Check order income mainly represents fees charged to customers for checks. Wire transfer fees represent revenue from processing wire transfers. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. Item processing fee income represents fees charged to other financial institutions for processing their transactions. Payment is typically received in the following month.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

(17) Merger

On March 11, 2018, CBI and United Community Bancorp (“UCB”) and United Community Bank (“United Community”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with UCB and United Community, pursuant to which CBI will acquire UCB and its wholly-owned subsidiary, United Community. It is anticipated that United Community will be merged with and into Civista, upon completion of the transaction. At that time, United Community’s eight banking offices located in Southeastern Indiana, and its Loan Production office in Northern Kentucky, will become offices of Civista. As of December 31, 2017, UCB and United Community Bank had total consolidated assets of $546 million, total loans of $296 million and total deposits of $462 million.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, for each share of UCB common stock issued and outstanding, UCB shareholders have the right to receive 1.027 CBI common shares and $2.54 in cash, as each of those terms is defined in the Merger Agreement. In addition, CBI has agreed to cash out all of the 212,563 outstanding UCB stock options for an amount equal to the difference between $26.22 per share and the exercise price of the stock options. The aggregate cash consideration to be paid by CBI in respect of the outstanding UCB common shares and the cash-out of outstanding UCB stock options is approximately $13.6 million.

Regulatory approval has been received and the merger is anticipated to be completed during the third quarter of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company at June 30, 2018 were $1,548,454 compared to $1,525,857 at December 31, 2017, an increase of $22,597, or 1.5%. The increase in total assets was mainly attributable to increases in loans held for sale, loans and other assets. Total liabilities at June 30, 2018 were $1,358,606 compared to $1,341,396 at December 31, 2017, an increase of $17,210, or 1.3%. The increase in total liabilities was mainly attributable to an increase in FHLB advances offset by decreases in total deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

|  | June 30, 2018 |  |  | December 31, 2017 |
Commercial & Agriculture |  | $ | 153,742 |  |  | $ | 152,473 |
Commercial Real Estate—Owner Occupied |  |  | 169,745 |  |  |  | 164,099 |
Commercial Real Estate—Non-Owner Occupied |  |  | 431,095 |  |  |  | 425,623 |
Residential Real Estate |  |  | 271,207 |  |  |  | 268,735 |
Real Estate Construction |  |  | 100,812 |  |  |  | 97,531 |
Farm Real Estate |  |  | 37,845 |  |  |  | 39,461 |
Consumer and Other |  |  | 15,586 |  |  |  | 16,739 |
Total loans |  |  | 1,180,032 |  |  |  | 1,164,661 |
Allowance for loan losses |  |  | (12,867 | ) |  |  | (13,134 | )
Net loans |  | $ | 1,167,165 |  |  | $ | 1,151,527 |

Net loans have increased $15,638 or 1.4% since December 31, 2017. The Commercial & Agriculture, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied, Residential Real Estate and Real Estate Construction loan portfolios increased $1,269, $5,646, $5,472, $2,472 and $3,281, respectively since December 31, 2017, while the Farm Real Estate and Consumer and Other loan portfolios decreased $1,616 and $1,153, respectively, since December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, the net loan to deposit ratio was 101.8% compared to 95.6% at December 31, 2017.

During the first six months of 2018 and 2017, there were no provisions made to the allowance for loan losses from earnings. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2018 totaled $267, compa red to net charge offs of $258 in the first six months of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, the Company charged off a total of 29 loans. Ten Real Estate Mortgage loans totaling $62, eight Commercial and Agriculture loan totaling $248, one Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loan totaling $193, one Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loan totaling $4 5 and nine Consumer and Other loans totaling $103 were charged off in the first six months of the year. In addition, during the first six month s of 2018, the Company had recoveries on previously charged-off Commercial and Agriculture loans of $1 04, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans of $130, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans of $21, Real Estate Mortgage loans of $93, Fa rm Real Estate of $3 and Consumer and Other loans of $33. For each loan category, as well as in total, the percentage of net charge-offs to loans was less than one percent. Nonperform ing loans decreased by $1,716 since December 31, 2017, which was due to a decrease in loans on nonaccrual status of $1,734 and an increase in loans past due 90 days and accruing of $18. Each of these factors was consid ered by management as part of the examination of both the level and mix of the allowance by loan type as well a s the overall level of the allowance.

Management specifically evaluates loans that are impaired for estimates of loss. To evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to cover probable losses in the portfolio, management considers specific reserve allocations for identified portfolio loans, reserves for delinquencies and historical reserve allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve.

Management analyzes each impaired Commercial and Commercial Real Estate loan relationship with a balance of $350 or larger, on an individual basis and designates a loan as impaired when it is in nonaccrual status or when an analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicate that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. In addition, loans held for sale are excluded from consideration as impaired. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.09% at June 30, 2018 and 1.13% at December 31, 2017.

The available for sale security portfolio increased by $783, from $230,230 at December 31, 2017 to $231,013 at June 30, 2018. Management continually evaluates our securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability and the level of interest rate risk to which the Company is exposed. These evaluations may cause the Company to change the level of funds it deploys into investment securities and change the composition of its investment securities portfolio. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all pledging requirements.

Premises and equipment, net, have decreased $303 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The decrease is the result of new purchases of $292, offset by depreciation of $595. In addition, the Company sold certain premises and equipment held for sale during the first six months ended June 30, 2018. Proceeds from the sale totaled $238, resulting in a gain on the sale of $33.

Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) increased $286 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The difference is the result of increases in the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies.

Other assets increased $3,856 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The increase is the result of increases in prepaid expenses, fair value of swap assets and low income housing investments.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

|  | June 30, 2018 |  |  | December 31, 2017 |
Noninterest-bearing demand |  | $ | 391,785 |  |  | $ | 361,964 |
Interest-bearing demand |  |  | 194,708 |  |  |  | 183,680 |
Savings and money market |  |  | 420,343 |  |  |  | 435,377 |
Time deposits |  |  | 139,336 |  |  |  | 223,902 |
Total Deposits |  | $ | 1,146,172 |  |  | $ | 1,204,923 |

Total deposits at June 3 0, 2018 de creased $58,751 from year-end 2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $29,821 from year-end 2017, while interest-bearing deposits, including savings and time deposits, decreased $88,572 from December 31, 2017. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to increases in cash balances remaining related to the Company’s participation in a tax refund processing program, which added noninterest-bearing deposits of $53,218. This increase is temporary as transactions are processed and is expected to return to levels more consistent with December 31, 2017 over the next quarter. The interest-bearing deposit decrease was mainly due to a decrease in brokered deposits offset by increases in interest-bearing demand and savings accounts. The year-to-date average balance of total deposits decreased $2,990 compared to the average balan ce of the same period in 2017 due to decreases in time deposits and demand deposit accounts, offset by increases in savings and money market accounts and interest-bearing demand accounts.

FHLB advances increased $84,300 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The increase is due to an increase in overnight funds of $94,300. In addition, on February 15, 2018, an FHLB advance in the amount of $10,000 matured. This advance had terms of forty-two months with a fixed rate of 1.5%. The advance was not replaced. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which tend to fluctuate, have decreased $7,525 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2018 was $189,848, or 12.3% of total assets, compared to $184,461, or 12.1% of total assets, at December 31, 2017. The increase in shareholders’ equity resulted primarily from net income of $10,003, a decrease in the Company’s pension liability, net of tax, of $226, a decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale, net of tax, of $3,080 and offset by dividends on preferred stock and common stock of $602 and $1,433, respectively. Total outstanding common shares at June 30, 2018 were 10,788,892. Total outstanding common shares at December 31, 2017 were 10,198,475. The increase in common shares outstanding is the result of the conversion of 4,440 shares of the Company’s previously issued preferred shares into 567,703 common shares and the grant of 16,510 restricted common shares to certain officers under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan. In addition, 6,204 common shares were issued to Civista directors as a retainer payment for service on the Civista Board of Directors.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

The Company had net income of $10,003 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $1,772 from net income of $8,231 for the same six months of 2017. Basic earnings per common share were $0.91 for the period ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.79 for the same period in 2017. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.79 for the period ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.68 for the same period in 2017. The primary reasons for the changes in net income are explained below.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $29,538, an increase of $3,277 from $26,261 in the same six months of 2017. Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $32,084, an increase of $4,164 from $27,920 in the same six months of 2017. Average earning assets increased 3.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Average loans and non-taxable securities for the first six months of 2018 increased 6.8% and 21.8%, respectively, compared to the first six months of last year. The increases were offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased mainly due to our tax refund processing program. The timing of cash inflows and outflows leads to large, but temporary, fluctuations in cash on deposit. The yield on the loan portfolio increased 34 basis points for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of last year. The yield on earning assets increased 39 basis points for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of last year. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,546, an increase of $887 from $1,659 in the same six months of 2017. Average time deposits for the first six months of 2018 decreased 6.7%, while average demand and savings accounts increased 6.8% compared to the first six months of 2017. Interest expense on demand and savings accounts, time deposits, FHLB borrowings and trust preferred securities increased $249, $136, $376 and $127, respectively, in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The interest rate paid on FHLB borrowings during the first six months of 2018 increased 56 basis points as compared to the same period in 2017, while the average balance increased 68.2%. The interest rate paid on trust preferred securities during the first six months of 2018 increased 87 basis points as compared to the same period in 2017. The Company’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 4.13% compared to 3.86% for the period ended June 30, 2017.

The following table presents the condensed average balance sh eets for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The daily average loan amounts outstanding are net of unearned income and include loans held for sale and nonaccrual loans. The average balance of securities is computed using the carrying value of se curities. Rates are annualized and taxable equivalent yields are computed using a 21% tax rate for tax-exempt interest income in 2018 and a 35% tax rate for tax-exempt interest income in 2017. The average yield has been computed using the historical amorti zed cost average balance for available-for-sale securities.

Other income increased $160 during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017. The increase is mainly due to increases in swap related income and deluxe income du ring the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Noninterest expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

|  | Three months ended June 30, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Compensation expense |  | $ | 7,385 |  |  | $ | 6,943 |
Net occupancy expense |  |  | 862 |  |  |  | 655 |
Equipment expense |  |  | 324 |  |  |  | 418 |
Contracted data processing |  |  | 2,739 |  |  |  | 429 |
FDIC assessment |  |  | 116 |  |  |  | 133 |
State franchise tax |  |  | 363 |  |  |  | 255 |
Professional services |  |  | 1,483 |  |  |  | 733 |

Marketing |  |  | 320 |  |  |  | 276 |
Other operating expenses |  |  | 2,102 |  |  |  | 2,335 |
Total noninterest expense |  | $ | 15,928 |  |  | $ | 12,549 |

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $15,928, an increase of $3,379, or 26.9%, from $12,549 reported for the same period of 2017. The primary reasons for the increase follow.

Compensation expenses were $7,385, up $442 or 6.4% as compared to the same period of 2017. These increases are mainly due to an increase in payroll and payroll related expenses due to annual pay increases. In addition, commission based costs, stock-based compensation and employee insurance costs increased, as compared to the same period of 2017.

Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $113, or 10.5% from the same period of 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to an increase in miscellaneous building repairs, increased small equipment purchases, increased janitorial services and increased ground maintenance due to the extended cold weather we were experiencing in our region.

Contracted data processing expenses were $2,739, up $2,310 or 538.5% compared to the same period on 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to expenses incurred in preparation for the Company’s contemplated merger with UCB.

FDIC assessments were $116, down $17 or 12.8% compared to the same period in 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease is the result of lower assessment rates for 2018.

State franchise taxes were $363, up $108 or 42.4% compared to the same period in 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to an increase in equity capital. The Ohio Financial Institutions tax is based on equity capital.

Professional services costs increased $750, or 102.3% from the same period of 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to increased legal and consulting expenses related to the contemplated merger with UCB.

Amortization expense decreased $132, or 83.5% from the same period of 2017, as a result of scheduled amortization of intangible assets associated with mergers.

Marketing costs were $320, up $44 or 15.9% compared to the same period in 2017. The increase is due to a general increase in marketing expenses and higher promotional points and benefits paid in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.

Other operating expenses were $2,102, down $233 or 10.0% compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease is due to a general decrease in other operating expenses during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 3 0, 2018 totaled $214, down $1,109 compared to the same period in 2017. The effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 3 0, 2018 and 2017 were 6.6% and 2 6.9%, respectively. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax differe nces, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits and bank owned life insurance income.

Capital Resources

Shareholders’ equity totaled $189,848 at June 30, 2018 compared to $184,461 at December 31, 2017. The increase in shareholders’ equity was positively impacted by net income of $10,003, a $226 net decrease in the Company’s pension liability and a decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale, net of tax, of $3,080, which was offset by dividends on preferred stock and common stock of $602 and $1,433, respectively.

All of the Company’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory minimum guidelines as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 as identified in the following table:

|  | Total Risk Based Capital |  |  | Tier I Risk Based Capital |  |  | CET1 Risk Based Capital |  |  | Leverage Ratio |
Company Ratios—June 30, 2018 |  |  | 16.7 | % |  |  | 15.7 | % |  |  | 12.3 | % |  |  | 13.0 | %

The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.07 per common share on February 1, 2018 and on May 1, 2018. In 2017, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share on February 1, 2017 and on May 1, 2017. The Company also paid a 6.50% cash dividend on its Series B preferred shares in the amount of approximately $303 on March 15, 2018 and approximately $299 on June 15, 2018. In 2017, the Company paid a 6.50% cash dividend on its Series B preferred shares in the amount of approximately $319 on March 15, 2017 and approximately $308 on June 15, 2017.

Liquidity

The Company maintains a conservative liquidity position. All securities are classified as available for sale. Securities, with maturities of one year or less, totaled $13,462, or 5.8% of the total security portfolio at June 30, 2018. The available for sale portfolio helps to provide the Company with the ability to meet its funding needs. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) contained in the consolidated financial statements detail the Company’s cash flows from operating activities resulting from net earnings.

As reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited), our cash flows are classified for financial reporting purposes as operating, investing or financing cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,324 and $8,223 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts differ from net income due to a variety of cash receipts and disbursements that did not affect net income for the respective periods. Net cash used for investing activities was $20,676 and $78,871 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, principally reflecting our loan and investment security activities. Cash provided by deposits, borrowings and net proceeds from our common equity offering comprised most of our financing activities, which resulted in net cash provided of $15,989 and $73,468 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Future loan demand of Civista may be funded by increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from payments on existing loans, the maturity of securities, and the sale of securities classified as available for sale. Additional sources of funds may also come from borrowing in the Federal Funds market and/or borrowing from the FHLB. Through its correspondent banks, Civista maintains federal funds borrowing lines totaling $42,500. As of June 30, 2018, Civista had total credit availability with the FHLB of $369,955 with standby letters of credit totaling $20,000 and a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $193,755. In addition, Civista Bancshares, Inc. maintains a credit line totaling $7,500.

ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest-rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure.

Interest-rate risk is the exposure of a banking organization’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value. However, excessive levels of interest-rate risk can pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest-rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest-rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest-rate risk management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest-rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and, where appropriate, asset quality.

The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement on interest-rate risk, effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for managing interest-rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest-rate risk management at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest-rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive risk-management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest-rate risk.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will have either lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.

Several techniques may be used by an institution to minimize interest-rate risk. One approach used by the Company is to periodically analyze its assets and liabilities and make future financing and investment decisions based on payment streams, interest rates, contractual maturities, and estimated sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. Such activities fall under the broad definition of asset/liability management. The Company’s primary asset/liability management technique is the measurement of the Company’s asset/liability gap, that is, the difference between the cash flow amounts of interest sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or longer period, the institution is in an asset sensitive gap position. In this situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability sensitive position. Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when rates fell. Also, these examples assume that interest rate changes for assets and liabilities are of the same magnitude, whereas actual interest rate changes generally differ in magnitude for assets and liabilities.

Several ways an institution can manage interest-rate risk include selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or securities; and hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest-rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures, and other such derivative financial instruments often are used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management expertise to be effective. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments in the past and does not currently intend to purchase such instruments in the near future. Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment risk in falling rate environments. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refinance its obligations at new, lower rates. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Company’s interest income and overall asset yields. A large portion of an institution’s liabilities may be short-term or due on demand, while most of its assets may be invested in long-term loans or securities. Accordingly, the Company seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands. These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling assets. FHLB advances and wholesale borrowings may also be used as important sources of liquidity for the Company.

The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that were sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2017 and June 3 0, 2018, based on certain prepayment and account decay assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The table shows the changes in the Company’s net portfolio value (in amount and percent) that would result from hypothetical interest rate increases of 200 basis points and 100 basis points and an interest rate decrease of 100 basis points at June 3 0, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Company had derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018. The changes in fair value of the assets and liabilities of the underlying contracts offset each other. Expected maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding. The Company’s borrowings were tabulated by contractual maturity dates and without regard to any conversion or repricing dates.

-100bp |  |  | 245,637 |  |  |  | (19,154 | ) |  |  | -7 | % |  |  | 223,526 |  |  |  | (13,479 | ) |  |  | -6 | %

The change in net portfolio value from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, can be attributed to two factors. While the yield curve has risen and flattened slightly from the end of the year, both the volume and mix of assets and funding sources has changed. The volume of loans has increased, while the volume of liabilities has decreased, compared to the end of the year. This leads to an increase in the base net portfolio value. The asset mix remained fairly constant, while the funding mix has shifted from CDs to borrowed money and deposits. Combined, this led to a small increase in volatility. Beyond the change in the base level of net portfolio value, projected movements in rates, up or down, would also lead to changes in market values. The change in the rates up scenarios for both the 100 and 200 basis point movements would lead to a slight increase in the market value of liabilities, compared to a slight decrease in the market value of assets. Accordingly, we see an increase in the net portfolio value, although the increase is smaller relative to the end of 2017. However, a downward change in rates would lead to a decrease in the net portfolio value as the market value of liabilities would increase more quickly than the market value of assets. Combined with the change in liability mix, we see a slightly larger change in 2018, compared to 2017.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

On June 21, 2018, a purported stockholder of United Community, filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Superior Court for the State of Indiana, Dearborn County, against United Community, the members of United Community’s Board of Directors, United Community Bank, Civista and Civista Bank on behalf of all of United Community’s public stockholders. The lawsuit alleges that United Community’s proxy statement for the special meeting of United Community stockholders to be held on July 24, 2018 to vote on the Merger omitted certain material information, which rendered the proxy statement false and misleading, and that United Community’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in the sale process. The lawsuit also alleges that the other corporate defendants, including Civista and Civista Bank, aided and abetted in the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The relief sought in the lawsuit includes preliminary and permanent injunction against the consummation of the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages if the Merger is completed, costs and attorney’s fees. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend against the suit vigorously. However, at this time, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or the impact on United Community, Civista or the contemplated Merger.
