Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combination & Asset Purchase | Note 2 – Business Combination & Asset Purchase On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired Limberlost Bancshares, Inc. (“Limberlost”), the bank holding company for Bank of Geneva, a community bank based in Geneva, Indiana. Bank of Geneva operated six full-service offices in the northeast Indiana communities of Geneva, Berne, Decatur, Monroe, Portland and Monroeville. Shareholders of Limberlost received 1,830 shares of FMAO common stock and $8,465.00 in cash for each share. Limberlost had 1,000 shares outstanding on January 1, 2019. The share price of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (FMAO) stock on January 1, 2019 was $38.49. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $78.9 million consisting of $8.5 million in cash and $70.4 million in stock. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has had an opportunity to increase its deposit base and reduce transaction costs. The Company has also reduced costs through economies of scale. In 2018, the Company incurred $742.1 thousand of third-party acquisition-related costs. The largest portion of the expenses recognized in 2018 related to consulting fees of $340 thousand, other general and administration expenses of $331.5 thousand and data processing expenses of $58.6 thousand. These three categories of expense accounted for 98.4% of the total acquisition expenses impacting the 2018 financial statements of the Company. In 2019, the Company has incurred additional third-party acquisition-related costs of $1.28 million. These expenses are comprised of data processing of $867.6 thousand, employee benefits of $163.0 thousand, ATM expense of $31.4 thousand, consulting fees of $19.3 thousand and other general and administrative expense of $199.8 thousand in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase was allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Of the total purchase price of $78.9 million, $3.9 million has been allocated to core deposit intangible included in other assets and is being amortized over seven years on a straight line basis. Goodwill of $43.3 million resulting from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Bank of Geneva. Of that total amount, none of the purchase price is deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Bank of Geneva and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

The fair value of the assets acquired included loans with a fair value of $257.2 million. The gross principal and contractual interest due under the contracts were $359.2 million, of which $4.7 million was expected to be uncollectible. The loans had a weighted average life of 70 months. The fair value of building and land included in premises and equipment was written down by $1.2 million and is being amortized based on the remaining life of each building. The combined average remaining life was 16.75 years. The fair value for certificates of deposit incorporated a valuation amount of $0.5 million which was amortized over 1.5 years. The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances included a valuation amount of $1.3 million which is being amortized over 2.3 years. The Company acquired loans in the acquisition that had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected were considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date included information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Purchased credit-impaired loans were accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) and initially measured at fair value, which included estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans was not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporated the estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds. The carrying amount of those loans is included in loans, net on the balance sheet at December 31, 2020. The amounts of loans at December 31, 2020 are as follows:

During the second quarter 2019, two commercial purchased credit-impaired loans were paid off in full after the customer was able to secure financing at another financial institution. The associated discount originally recognized at acquisition of $1.985 million was included in loan inter est income in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The balance of the fair value adjustment for loans acquired and accounted for under this guidance (ASC 310-30) was $0 at December 31, 2020, $62 thousand at December 31, 2019, and $2.118 million on January 1, 2019.
