10.	LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company uses

FHLB advances as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances often offer more attractive rates than other mid- and long-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. The Company had long-term FHLB advances outstanding of $15.0 million and $5.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Long-term FHLB advances with remaining terms to maturity of less than 12 months were $5.0 million as of September 30, 2016. There were no long-term FHLB advances with remaining terms to maturity of less than 12 months as of December 31, 2015.

Pledged assets associated with FHLB advances totaled $21.1 million and $14.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and

December 31, 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $160.4 million and $152.5 million, respectively, in remaining credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral).
