FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In addition, First US Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), through its senior management, from time to time makes forward-looking statements concerning its expected future operations and performance and other developments. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “continues” and similar expressions are indicative of forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based on current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and various factors could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Such factors could include those identified from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements, including the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Specifically, with respect to statements relating to the sufficiency of the allowance for loan and lease losses, loan demand, cash flows, growth and earnings potential and expansion, these factors include, but are not limited to, the rate of growth (or lack thereof) in the economy generally and in the Company’s service areas, market conditions and investment returns, changes in interest rates, the availability of quality loans in the Company’s service areas, the relative strength and weakness in the consumer and commercial credit sectors and in the real estate markets, collateral values and cybersecurity threats. With respect to the Company’s acquisition of The Peoples Bank, these factors include, but are not limited to, difficulties, delays and unanticipated costs in integrating the organizations’ businesses or realized expected cost savings and other benefits; business disruptions as a result of the integration of the organizations, including possible loss of customers; diversion of management time to address integration-related issues; and changes in asset quality and credit risk as a result of the transaction. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the dates on which the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. | GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First US Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Bancshares is the parent holding company of First US Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates a finance company subsidiary, Acceptance Loan Company, Inc. (“ALC”). Management has determined that the Bank and ALC comprise Bancshares’ two reportable operating segments. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Certain significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (basic shares). Included in basic shares are certain shares that have been accrued as of the balance sheet date as deferred compensation for members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period (dilutive shares). The dilutive shares consist of nonqualified stock option grants issued to employees and members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors pursuant to Bancshares’ 2013 Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2013 Incentive Plan”) previously approved by Bancshares’ shareholders. The following table reflects weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented.

In the calculation of comprehensive income, reclassification adjustments are made for gains or losses realized in the statement of operations associated with the sale of available-for-sale securities, settlement of derivative contracts or changes in the fair value of cash flow derivatives.

Accounting Policies Recently Adopted

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU simplifies and expands the eligible hedging strategies for financial and nonfinancial risks by more closely aligning hedge accounting with a company’s risk management activities, and also simplifies the application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, through targeted improvements in key practice areas. This includes expanding the list of items eligible to be hedged and amending the methods used to measure the effectiveness of hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU prescribes how hedging results should be presented and requires incremental disclosures. These changes are intended to allow preparers more flexibility and to enhance the transparency of how hedging results are presented and disclosed. Further, the ASU provides partial relief on the timing of certain aspects of hedge documentation and eliminates the requirement to recognize hedge ineffectiveness separately in earnings in the current period. ASU 2017-12 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Issued in February 2016, ASU 2016-02 was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires organizations that lease assets (lessees) to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the lease for all operating leases under current U.S. GAAP with a term of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 13, Leases, for additional information regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-02. As a result of implementation of the standard, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” Issued in August 2018, ASU 2018-15 aims to reduce complexity in the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The amendments of ASU 2018-15 require an entity to follow the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software,” in order to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments of ASU 2018-15 also require an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement (i.e., the noncancellable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by (1) an option to extend the arrangement if the entity is reasonably certain to exercise that option, (2) an option to terminate the arrangement if the entity is reasonably certain not to exercise the option and (3) an option to extend (or not to terminate) the arrangement in which exercise of the option is in the control of the vendor). ASU 2018-15 also requires an entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement, and to classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not currently have any material amount of implementation costs related to hosting arrangements that are service contracts, and the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” Issued in August 2018, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 820 related to (1) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modifies disclosure requirements such that (1) for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date that restrictions from redemption might lapse, only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly, and (2) it is clear that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. Additionally, this ASU adds disclosure requirements for public entities about (1) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments of ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity, prior to the amendments in ASU 2017-04, had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in accordance with the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. However, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective prospectively for annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, companies generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The revised guidance removes all current recognition thresholds and requires companies to recognize an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Credit losses will be immediately recognized through net income; the amount recognized will be based on the current estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected over the financial asset’s contractual term. ASU 2016-13 also amends the credit loss measurement guidance for available-for-sale debt securities. The standard will add new disclosures related to factors that influenced management’s estimate, including current expected credit losses, the changes in those factors and reasons for the changes, as well as the method applied to revert to historical credit loss experience. For public business entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Institutions will be required to apply the changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to their retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is in the process of developing a revised model to calculate the allowance for loan and lease losses upon implementation of ASU 2016-13 and is continuing to evaluate the impact that the ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan and lease losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but has not yet determined the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue

On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, codified at ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. As of the implementation date, the Company had no uncompleted customer contracts and, as a result, no cumulative transition adjustment was made to the Company’s accumulated deficit during the year ended December 31, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under legacy U.S. GAAP.

Table of Contents

The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through interest earned on financial instruments, including loans and investment securities, which falls outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. The Company also generates revenue from insurance- and lease-related contracts that fall outside the scope of ASC Topic 606.

All of the Company’s revenue that is subject to ASC Topic 606 is included in non-interest income; however, not all non-interest income is subject to ASC Topic 606. Revenue earned by the Company that is subject to ASC Topic 606 primarily consists of service and other charges on deposit accounts, mortgage fees from secondary market transactions at the Bank, ATM fee income and other non-interest income. Revenue generated from these sources for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. All sources of the Company’s revenue subject to ASC Topic 606 are transaction-based, and revenue is recognized at the time the transaction is executed, which is the same time at which the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Company had no contract liabilities or unsatisfied performance obligations with customers as of March 31, 2019.

3. | ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

On August 31, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of The Peoples Bank (“TPB”) and then merged TPB with and into the Bank. The acquisition of TPB provided the Company with an opportunity to enter the Knoxville, Tennessee market, as well as southwest Virginia, and was consistent with the Company’s strategy to expand in selected high-growth metropolitan markets. As of the acquisition date, TPB’s assets totaled $166.5 million, consisting primarily of pre-discounted gross loans totaling $156.8 million. Total deposits were $140.0 million. Purchase accounting adjustments were recorded as of the acquisition date, resulting in goodwill of $7.4 million.

The acquisition of TPB was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding the methods and assumptions to be used. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. No adjustments to fair value were recorded during the first quarter of 2019.

In accordance with the transaction agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of TPB for the purchase price of $23.4 million calculated on the net book value of TPB as of December 31, 2017 and a mutually agreed upon multiple of 1.62, less certain mutually agreed upon deductions that are described in the transaction agreement, which reduced the purchase price by approximately $0.4 million. Approximately 90% of the purchase price was paid in cash, which totaled approximately $20.7 million, and approximately 10% was paid in the form of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, which consisted of 204,355 shares of Bancshares common stock. The aggregate purchase price was subject to adjustment following the closing date of the transaction based on determination of TPB’s final net book value as of the date of closing, which resulted in the payment by the Company of an additional cash amount of approximately $1.4 million.

A summary, at fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the TPB transaction, as of the acquisition date, is as follows:

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Investment securities — Prior to acquisition, the investment securities acquired were classified as available-for-sale and, accordingly, were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value for most of the securities was based upon quoted prices of like or similar securities and determined using observable data including, among other things, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flow, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus, prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock, at cost — Prior to acquisition, TPB maintained a required investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta, which was, in part, based on TPB’s amount of borrowings with the FHLB. The investment was carried at cost as it is not readily marketable, and, accordingly, there is no established market price for the investment. Upon acquisition, the Bank was able to absorb the investment into its own holdings of stock with the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank has the ability to be reimbursed by the FHLB of Atlanta at cost for stock holdings as borrowings with the FHLB are paid down. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the assets is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans — Fair values for performing loans were determined based on a discounted cash flow methodology that aggregated model inputs and loan information into selected pools and calculated the loan level cash flows used to value the pools. The model calculated the contractual cash flows and expected cash flows, and then discounted the expected cash flows to present value in order to determine fair value. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the loans included unpaid principal balance, maturity date, coupon, prepayment speed, expected credit losses and discount rates. The fair value adjustment, also described as the discount on the purchased loans, for the performing loans is being accreted into income over the lives of the loans. Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans were valued using the cost recovery method. The Company did not recognize any accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, associated with the PCI loans. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value adjustments of the loans acquired from TPB as of the acquisition date.

|  | August 31, 2018 |
|  | Acquired from TPB |  |  | Fair Value Adjustments |  |  | Fair Value as of August 31, 2018 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Purchased performing loans |  | $ | 153,862 |  |  | $ | (2,116 | ) |  | $ | 151,746 |
Purchased credit impaired loans |  |  | 2,910 |  |  |  | (79 | ) |  |  | 2,831 |
Total purchased loans |  | $ | 156,772 |  |  | $ | (2,195 | ) |  | $ | 154,577 |

Allowance for loan losses — In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the acquired loans were adjusted to fair value, and the pre-acquisition allowance for loan losses on TPB’s balance sheet was reversed.

Premises and equipment — The fair values of acquired land and buildings were determined based on independent appraisals performed by a third-party appraiser. The fair value adjustment represents the difference between fair value and the carrying value at the date of acquisition. For furniture and fixtures, carrying value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other real estate owned — These assets are presented at the estimated net realizable value that management expects to receive when the properties are sold, net of related costs of disposal.

Other assets — The fair value adjustment was due primarily to changes in deferred tax assets related to the transaction, as well as adjustment of certain prepaid assets associated with TPB’s core processing vendor. Otherwise, the carrying amount of these assets was deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Core deposit intangible — This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that TPB had with its deposit customers. The fair value of the core deposit intangible was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology that gave consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits.

Deposits — The fair values used for the demand and savings deposits that comprise the transaction accounts acquired equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair value of certificates of deposit was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology whereby an estimate of the present value of contractual payments over the remaining life of the time deposit was determined. Future cash flows were discounted using market interest rates estimated based on the median offering rates of peer institutions at the time of the acquisition.

Short-term borrowings — TPB’s short-term borrowings were comprised of daily renewable FHLB advances. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings, the carrying amount of the liability was determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Other liabilities — The carrying amount of these other liabilities was deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Table of Contents

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities generally mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

The following table reflects gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) whether the Company intends to sell the securities; and (iv) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

As of March 31, 2019, 155 debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and 7 debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2018, 153 debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and 21 debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the losses for all securities were considered to be a direct result of the effect that the prevailing interest rate environment had on the value of debt securities and were not related to the creditworthiness of the issuers. Most of the securities in an unrealized loss position are residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities that are either direct obligations of the U.S. government or government-sponsored entities and, accordingly, have little associated credit risk. Further, the Company has the current intent and ability to retain its investments in the issuers for a period of time that management believes to be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Therefore, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $52.1 million and $46.7 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

Portfolio Segments

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into nine portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics described as follows:

Construction, land development and other land loans – Commercial construction, land and land development loans include the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property and loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Secured by 1-4 family residential properties – These loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home or investment property. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home.

Secured by multi-family residential properties – This portfolio segment includes mortgage loans secured by apartment buildings.

Secured by non-farm, non-residential properties – This portfolio segment includes real estate loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers or other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Other real estate loans – Other real estate loans are loans primarily for agricultural production, secured by mortgages on farmland.

Commercial and industrial loans and leases – This portfolio segment includes loans and leases to commercial customers for use in the normal course of business. These credits may be loans, lines of credit and leases to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment or receivables, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Consumer loans – This portfolio segment includes a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including automobile loans, loans for household and personal purposes and all other direct consumer installment loans.

Branch retail – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral purchased by consumers at retail stores with whom ALC has an established relationship through its branch network to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met.

Indirect sales – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral that is purchased by consumers at retail stores with whom ALC has an established, centrally-managed relationship to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met.

The Company makes commercial, real estate and installment loans to its customers. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, 62.3% and 63.2% of the portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Loans with a carrying value of $20.4 million and $27.0 million were pledged as collateral to secure FHLB borrowings as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Related Party Loans

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers and directors of the Company, including companies with which they are associated. These loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. Management believes that such loans do not represent more than a normal risk of collectability, nor do they present other unfavorable features. The aggregate balances of such related party loans and commitments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were $0.1 million of new loans to these parties, and repayments by active related parties were $1 thousand. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were $0.5 million of new loans to these parties, and repayments by active related parties were $0.2 million.

Acquired Loans

The Company acquired loans through the TPB acquisition completed on August 31, 2018. At acquisition, certain acquired loans evidenced deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable that all contractually-required payments would not be collected.

Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. PCI loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Accounting for Purchased Loans with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. On the date of acquisition, the outstanding principal balance and carrying value of PCI loans accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30 were $2.9 and $2.8 million, respectively.

The carrying amount of PCI loans is included in the balance sheet amount of loans receivable at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The amount of these loans is shown below:

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank utilizes a credit grading system that provides a uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio. Under this system, each loan is graded based on pre-determined risk metrics and categorized into one of nine risk grades. These risk grades can be summarized into categories described as pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as described in further detail below.

| ● | Pass (Risk Grades 1-5): Loans in this category include obligations in which the probability of default is considered low.

| ● | Special Mention (Risk Grade 6): Loans in this category exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving Bank management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than pass-rated categories, its default is not imminent.

| ● | Substandard (Risk Grade 7): Loans in this category have defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard.

| ● | Doubtful (Risk Grade 8): Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses found in substandard loans, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable or improbable. Serious problems exist such that partial loss of principal is likely; however, because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Such pending factors may include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfection of liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. Loans classified as doubtful may include loans to borrowers that have demonstrated a history of failing to live up to agreements.

| ● | Loss (Risk Grade 9): Loans are classified in this category when borrowers are deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not prudent to defer writing off these assets, even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

At ALC, because the loan portfolio is more uniform in nature, each loan is categorized into one of two risk grades, depending on whether the loan is considered to be performing or nonperforming. Performing loans are loans that are paying principal and interest in accordance with a contractual agreement. Nonperforming loans are loans that have demonstrated characteristics that indicate a probability of loss.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the related loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the liquidation of the collateral at the Bank. All loans of $0.5 million or more that have a credit quality risk grade of seven or above are identified for impairment analysis. At management’s discretion, additional loans may be impaired based on homogeneous factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, portfolio quality, adequacy of the underlying collateral value, loan concentrations, historical charge-off trends and economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. At ALC, all loans of $50 thousand or more that are 90 days or more past due are identified for impairment analysis. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $0.2 million of impaired loans with no related allowance recorded at ALC. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectable.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $1.9 million and $2.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, there would have been $12 thousand and $44 thousand of interest accrued for the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Interest income related to these loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 was $6 thousand and $27 thousand, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings include loans with respect to which concessions have been granted to borrowers that generally would not have otherwise been considered had the borrowers not been experiencing financial difficulty. The concessions granted may include payment schedule modifications, interest rate reductions, maturity date extensions, modifications of note structure, principal balance reductions or some combination of these concessions. There were no loans modified with concessions granted during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018. Restructured loans may involve loans remaining on non-accrual, moving to non-accrual or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Non-accrual restructured loans are included with all other non-accrual loans. In addition, all accruing restructured loans are reported as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, restructured loans remain on non-accrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms (generally a minimum of six months). However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned to or maintained on non-accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, then the loan remains on non-accrual. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $0.1 million of non-accruing loans that were previously restructured and that remained on non-accrual status. For both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had no loans that were restored to accrual status based on a sustained period of repayment performance.

The following table provides, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the number of loans remaining in each loan category that the Bank had previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring, as well as the pre- and post-modification principal balance as of each date.

Total |  |  | 6 |  |  | $ | 541 |  |  | $ | 214 |  |  |  | 7 |  |  | $ | 594 |  |  | $ | 297 |

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no loans that previously had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring had defaulted subsequent to modification.

Restructured loan modifications primarily included maturity date extensions and payment schedule modifications. There were no modifications to principal balances of the loans that were restructured. Accordingly, there was no impact on the Company’s allowance for loan losses resulting from the modifications.

All loans with a principal balance of $0.5 million or more that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered impaired and evaluated individually for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of restructured loans, including those that have experienced a subsequent payment default, are considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. This evaluation resulted in an allowance for loan losses attributable to such restructured loans of $1 thousand and $2 thousand as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

6. | OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED AND REPOSSESSIONS

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate and certain other assets acquired in foreclosure are reported at the net realizable value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The following tables summarize foreclosed property activity as of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

|  | March 31, 2019 |

(1)Additions to other real estate owned (“OREO”) include transfers from loans and capitalized improvements to existing OREO properties.

Valuation adjustments are recorded in other non-interest expense and are primarily post-foreclosure write-downs that are a result of continued declining property values based on updated appraisals or other indications of value, such as offers to purchase. Net realizable value less estimated costs to sell of foreclosed residential real estate held by the Company was $0.1 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company held $0.1 million of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2019 and did not hold any of these loans as of March 31, 2018.

Repossessions

In addition to the other real estate and other assets acquired in foreclosure, the Bank and ALC also acquire assets through the repossession of the underlying collateral of loans in default. Total repossessed assets as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $0.2 million.

7. | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recorded $7.4 million of goodwill as a result of its acquisition of TPB in 2018. Goodwill impairment was neither indicated nor recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

Goodwill is tested annually, or more often if circumstances warrant, for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated, and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill totaled $7.4 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Core deposit premiums are amortized over a seven-year period and are periodically evaluated, at least annually, as to the recoverability of their carrying value. Core deposit premiums of $2.0 million were recorded during 2018 as part of the TPB acquisition.

The Company’s goodwill and other intangibles (carrying basis and accumulated amortization) as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:

|  | March 31, 2019 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Goodwill |  | $ | 7,435 |
Core deposit intangible: |  |  |  |
Gross carrying amount |  |  | 2,048 |
Accumulated amortization |  |  | (299 | )
Core deposit intangible, net |  |  | 1,749 |
Total |  | $ | 9,184 |

The Company’s estimated remaining amortization expense on intangibles as of March 31, 2019 was as follows:

|  | Amortization Expense |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
2019 |  | $ | 360 |
2020 |  |  | 414 |
2021 |  |  | 341 |
2022 |  |  | 268 |
2023 |  |  | 195 |
2024 |  |  | 122 |
2025 |  |  | 49 |
Total |  | $ | 1,749 |

The net carrying amount of the Company’s core deposit premiums would not be considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition. That assessment is based on the carrying amount of the intangible assets subject to amortization at the date it is tested for recoverability. Intangible assets subject to amortization are tested by the Company for recoverability whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

8. | SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term FHLB advances with original maturities of one year or less. The Bank did not have any short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2019, and short-term borrowings totaled $0.5 million as of December 31, 2018.

Federal funds purchased, which represent unsecured lines of credit that generally mature within one to four days, are available to the Bank through arrangements with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no federal funds purchased outstanding. The Bank had $72.1 million and $72.2 million in available unused lines of credit with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Bank monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. The Bank did not have any securities sold under repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2019, and securities sold under repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2018 totaled $0.5 million.

Short-term FHLB advances are secured borrowings available to the Bank as an alternative funding source. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank did not have any outstanding FHLB advances with original maturities of less than one year.

9. | 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 generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-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. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than one year are classified as long-term. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any long-term FHLB advances outstanding.

Assets pledged (including loans and investment securities) associated with FHLB advances totaled $20.4 million and $27.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank had $237.5 million and $282.2 million, respectively, in remaining credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral).

10. | INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.1% and 16.4%, respectively, for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences, such as those associated with bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $4.0 million and $4.6 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, combined with reductions in net operating loss carryforwards and other book-to-tax temporary differences.

11. | DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Bank has entered into supplemental retirement compensation benefits agreements with certain directors and executive officers. The measurement of the liability under these agreements includes estimates involving life expectancy, length of time before retirement and the expected returns on the bank-owned life insurance policies used to fund those agreements. Should these estimates prove to be materially wrong, the cost of these agreements could change accordingly. The related deferred compensation obligation to these directors and executive officers included in other liabilities was $3.4 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or any portion of their Bancshares and Bank director fees under Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash and/or shares of Bancshares’ common stock. Neither Bancshares nor the Bank makes any contribution to participants’ accounts under the Deferral Plan. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, a total of 119,380 and 116,766 shares of Bancshares common stock, respectively, were deferred in connection with the Deferral Plan. All deferred fees, whether in the form of cash or shares of Bancshares common stock, are reflected as compensation expense in the period earned. The Company classifies all deferred directors’ fees allocated to be paid in shares as equity surplus. The Company may use issued shares or shares of treasury stock to satisfy these obligations when due.

12. | STOCK AWARDS

In accordance with the Company’s 2013 Incentive Plan, stock awards, including stock options and restricted stock, have been granted to certain employees and non-employee directors. Shares of common stock available for distribution to satisfy the grants may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards totaled $0.1 million for both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Stock Options

Stock option awards have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and have vesting periods ranging from one to three years, with 10-year contractual terms.

The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. The fair value of outstanding awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.

|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.59 | % |  |  | 2.77 | %
Expected term (in years) |  |  | 7.5 |  |  |  | 7.5 |
Expected stock price volatility |  |  | 30.9 | % |  |  | 28.3 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 1.25 | % |  |  | 1.50 | %
Fair value of stock option |  |  | 3.30 |  |  |  | 3.51 |

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the periods presented.

Options exercisable, end of period |  |  | 312,783 |  |  | $ | 9.25 |  |  |  | 248,300 |  |  | $ | 8.71 |

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding (calculated as the amount by which the market value of underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) was approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Restricted Stock

During the first three months of both 2019 and 2018, 5,520 shares of restricted stock were granted. The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for restricted stock awards based on the grant date closing price of the stock, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period.

13. | LEASES

The Bank and ALC are involved in a number of operating leases, primarily for branch locations. Branch leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include an option to terminate the lease within one year. The Bank leases certain office facilities to third parties and classifies these leases as operating leases.

The following table provides a summary of the components of lease expense, as well as the reporting location in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

14. | SEGMENT REPORTING

Under ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, certain information is disclosed for the two reportable operating segments of Bancshares: the Bank and ALC. The reportable segments were determined using the internal management reporting system. These segments comprise Bancshares’ and the Bank’s significant subsidiaries. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. The segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany transactions that were recorded at current market prices. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine the consolidated balances. The results for the two reportable segments of the Company are included in the tables below.

15. | GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and others, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the financial statements. A summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities is presented below:

|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | December 31, 2018 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Standby letters of credit |  | $ | 180 |  |  | $ | 180 |
Standby performance letters of credit |  | $ | 652 |  |  | $ | 704 |
Commitments to extend credit |  | $ | 96,331 |  |  | $ | 85,972 |

Standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount that it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit or standby performance letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the lives of the standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the potential amounts of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under its standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit, which represent the Bank’s total credit risk in these categories, are included in the table above.

A commitment to extend credit is an agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of employee health benefits. However, the Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit the Company’s individual claim and total exposure related to self-insurance. The Company estimates accrued liability for the ultimate costs to close known claims, as well as claims incurred but not yet reported, as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s recorded estimated liability for self-insurance is based on the insurance companies’ incurred loss estimates and management’s judgment, including assumptions and evaluation of factors related to the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims development history and the Company’s claims settlement practices. The assessment of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events. Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of self-insurance accruals. Self-insurance accruals totaled $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The ultimate settlement of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves may differ significantly from amounts accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation

The Company is party to certain ordinary course litigation from time to time, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

16. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. The following disclosures should not be considered a representation of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather represent a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

| ● | Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

| ● | Level 2 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

| ● | Level 3 — Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The Company rarely transfers assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Trading account assets and securities available-for-sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the best method of pricing for an individual security. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occurred at the beginning of a reporting period. There were no such transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include exchange-traded equities. Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. Level 2 fair values are obtained from quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. In certain cases, where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-recurring Basis

Impaired Loans

Loans that are considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans can be measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling cost if the loan is collateral-dependent. For the Company, the fair value of impaired loans is primarily measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans (typically real estate). The Company determines the fair value of the collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisals may include a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and income approaches. Appraised values are discounted for estimated costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s knowledge of the collateral, changes in market conditions since the most recent appraisal and/or management’s knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated by management for additional impairment at least quarterly and are adjusted accordingly.

OREO

OREO consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is recorded at net realizable value, less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value.

Assets Held-for-Sale

Included within other assets are certain assets that were formerly included as premises and equipment but have been removed from service, and as of the balance sheet date, were designated as assets to be disposed of by sale. These include assets associated with branches of the Bank that have been closed. When an asset is designated as held-for-sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset, and the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically unobservable inputs for determining fair value.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following table presents information regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2019. The table includes the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each unobservable input and the weighted average within the range utilized as of March 31, 2019 are both included. Following the table is a description of the valuation technique and the sensitivity of the technique to changes in the significant unobservable input.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are valued based on multiple data points indicating the fair value for each loan. The primary data point is the appraisal value of the underlying collateral, to which a discount is applied. Management establishes this discount or comparability adjustment based on recent sales of similar property types. As liquidity in the market increases or decreases, the comparability adjustment and the resulting asset valuation are impacted.

OREO

OREO under a binding contract for sale is valued based on contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the balance sheet.

Assets Held-for-Sale

Assets designated as held-for-sale that are under a binding contract are valued based on the contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amount of cash, due from banks and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Based on the redemption provision of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Investment securities: Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on market prices of comparable instruments.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

37

Table of Contents

Loans, net: The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flow, prepayment discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premiums.

Demand and savings deposits: The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts.

Time deposits: The fair values of relatively short-term time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Discounted cash flows are used to value long-term time deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term.

Short-term borrowings: These borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the floating rate borrowings from the FHLB account. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, fair values approximate carrying values.

Long-term debt: The fair value of this debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the determination date.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on fees currently charged to enter into such agreements.

The estimated fair value and related carrying or notional amounts, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were as follows:

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

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

First US Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancshares”), is a bank holding company with its principal offices in Birmingham, Alabama. Bancshares operates one commercial banking subsidiary, First US Bank (the “Bank”). As of March 31, 2019, the Bank operated and served its customers through 20 banking offices located in Birmingham, Bucksville, Butler, Calera, Centreville, Columbiana, Gilbertown, Grove Hill, Harpersville, Jackson, Thomasville, Tuscaloosa and Woodstock, Alabama; Knoxville and Powell, Tennessee; and Rose Hill and Ewing, Virginia.

The Bank owns all of the stock of Acceptance Loan Company, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“ALC”). ALC is a finance company headquartered in Mobile, Alabama that performs both indirect lending through third-party retailers and conventional consumer finance lending through a branch network. ALC conducts indirect lending in 10 states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, with loans underwritten centrally at ALC’s headquarters location. ALC’s branch network serves customers through 21 offices located in Alabama and southeast Mississippi. The Bank serves as the primary funding source for ALC’s operations. In recent years, ALC’s indirect lending portfolio has grown at a more rapid pace than conventional consumer finance lending. In general, the credit quality of indirect lending exceeds the credit quality of conventional consumer finance lending, with a commensurate reduction in yield and lower loss ratios.

The Bank provides a wide range of commercial banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals, while ALC’s business is focused on consumer lending.

FUSB Reinsurance, Inc., an Arizona corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank (“FUSB Reinsurance”), reinsures or “underwrites” credit life and credit accident and health insurance policies sold to the Bank’s and ALC’s consumer loan customers. FUSB Reinsurance is responsible for the first level of risk on these policies up to a specified maximum amount, and a primary third-party insurer retains the remaining risk. A third-party administrator is also responsible for performing most of the administrative functions of FUSB Reinsurance on a contract basis.

Delivery of the best possible financial services to customers remains an overall operational focus of Bancshares and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company recognizes that attention to detail and responsiveness to customers’ desires are critical to customer satisfaction. The Company continues to upgrade technology, both in its financial services and in the training of its 285 full-time equivalent employees (as of March 31, 2019), to ensure customer satisfaction and convenience.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments associated with estimates. These estimates are necessary to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and general banking practices. These estimates include accounting for the allowance for loan and lease losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, other real estate owned, valuation of deferred tax assets and fair value measurements. A description of these estimates, which significantly affect the determination of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, is set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2018, while comparing income and expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are recorded and presented on the accrual basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis, unless otherwise indicated.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. As used in the following discussion, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Bancshares and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Significant Impacts on Earnings

The following discussion summarizes the most significant activity that drove changes in the Company’s net income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 25.4%, due primarily to increases in average loans outstanding following the acquisition of TPB. The average loan balance for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $512.0 million, compared to $353.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increases in interest income resulting from loan growth were partially offset by increases in interest expense due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities following the acquisition of TPB. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was $593.2 million during the first quarter of 2019, compared to $456.6 million during the first quarter of 2018. Net interest margin decreased to 5.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 5.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Loan yields in the first quarter of 2019 improved by 28 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2018; however, these gains were offset by a 40-basis point increase in funding costs, comparing the two periods. The increases in both loan yields and funding costs were consistent with the prevailing interest rate environments comparing the two periods.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $0.3 million, or 39.2%, during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 due primarily to slower growth during the first quarter of 2019 in ALC’s indirect sales lending portfolio compared to the first quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the indirect sales portfolio increased by $1.7 million, compared to an increase of $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2018.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased by $0.1 million comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was mostly attributable to rental income of $0.2 million associated with the lease-up of remaining unused office space at the Company’s headquarters location in Birmingham, Alabama. Lease-up of the space occurred at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, and, accordingly, the first quarter of 2019 represents the first full quarter of lease earnings. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in credit insurance commissions and fees at ALC during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $1.2 million comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was attributable primarily to additional salaries and benefits, occupancy and other expenses associated with the addition of employees, facilities and other services in connection with the acquisition of TPB.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 22.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 16.4% during the corresponding period of 2018. The increased effective tax rate resulted from growth in taxable earnings.

Balance Sheet Management

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s assets totaled $795.3 million, compared to $791.9 million as of December 31, 2018, an increase of 0.43%. The discussion below presents significant balance sheet components comparing March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2018.

Loans and Credit Quality

Net loans decreased to $502.8 million as of March 31, 2019, compared to $514.9 million as of December 31, 2018. Net loans at the Bank decreased $10.6 million during the first quarter of 2019, while net loans at ALC decreased by $1.5 million. At the Bank, the reduction in loan volume resulted primarily from the scheduled payoff of one significant loan relationship, coupled with an overall soft market in commercial lending during the first quarter. At ALC, the modest loan volume reductions resulted primarily from seasonal impacts in ALC’s consumer lending portfolio.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $4.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, or 0.97% of gross loans outstanding as of both dates, representing a decrease from 1.35% as of March 31, 2018. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for acquisition accounting, the loans acquired through the acquisition of TPB were recorded at fair value; accordingly, there was no allowance for loan losses associated with the acquired loan portfolio at the acquisition date. Management continues to evaluate the need for an allowance on the acquired portfolio, factoring in the remaining fair value discount on the loans, which totaled $1.6 million, or 1.13% of gross purchased loans, as of March 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, management reapportioned approximately $0.1 million of the allowance for loan and lease losses on the Bank’s portfolio of non-purchased loans to the allowance on the acquired portfolio. Following this reapportionment, the allowance on purchased loans combined with the fair value discount totaled $1.7 million, or 1.18% of the gross purchased loans balance, as of March 31, 2019. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of non-purchased gross loans outstanding was 1.34% as of March 31, 2019.

Non-performing assets, including loans in non-accrual status and other real estate owned (OREO), decreased to $3.1 million as of March 31, 2019, compared to $4.3 million as of December 31, 2018. As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets totaled 0.39% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 0.54% of total assets as of December 31, 2018. Non-accrual loans totaled $1.9 million as of March 31, 2019, compared to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2018.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio continues to provide the Company with additional liquidity and allows management to fund a portion of loan growth from the maturity and payoff of securities within the portfolio. During the first quarter of 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, investment maturities outpaced purchases as management generally re-deployed maturing securities into other interest-earning assets, including loans or excess cash and federal funds sold that may be used to fund future loan growth. As of March 31, 2019, the investment securities portfolio totaled $148.0 million, compared to $153.9 million as of December 31, 2018. Management monitors its liquidity position, including forecasted expectations related to loan growth, when making determinations about whether to re-invest in the securities portfolio.

Right-of-Use Asset and Lease Liability

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” by recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with certain leases in which the Bank or ALC is lessee. As of March 31, 2019, the right-of-use asset and lease liability totaled $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The right-of-use asset is included in other assets on the balance sheet, while the lease liability is included in other liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s income or expenses associated with its existing leases.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $703.4 million as of March 31, 2019, compared to $704.7 million as of December 31, 2018. Deposits less brokered deposits increased by $16.9 million during the first quarter of 2019, but this increase was offset by a decrease in wholesale brokered deposits of $18.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company continues to maintain excess funding capacity to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines, FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Management believes that continued success in loan growth efforts at both the Bank and ALC, combined with continued adherence to established credit underwriting standards, will strengthen both the diversity and credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, while improving interest and fee income on loans.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than the ratios required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable banking regulations. As of March 31, 2019, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 12.81%. Its total capital ratio was 13.69%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.22%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is calculated as the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net interest income. The Company’s earning assets consist of loans at both the Bank and ALC, as well as taxable and tax-exempt investments and federal funds sold by the Bank. Interest-bearing liabilities consist of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and time deposits, as well as short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

The following table shows the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Additionally, the table provides an analysis of interest revenue or expense associated with each category, along with the accompanying yield or rate percentage. Net interest margin is calculated for each period presented as net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Note A | — | For the purpose of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in the average loan amounts outstanding. At the Bank, these loans averaged $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At ALC, these loans averaged $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Note B | — | Loan fees are included in the interest amounts presented. At the Bank, loan fees totaled $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. At ALC, loan fees totaled $0.5 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Interest earned on loans at the Bank increased during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increase in average loan balance resulting from the acquisition of TPB. Comparing the two periods, the average loan balance increased by $150.7 million. Yield on loans at the Bank increased in part due to higher yielding loans acquired from TPB, and in part due to the general interest rate environment comparing the two periods. At ALC, interest income was flat comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. Increases in the average balance of loans at ALC were generally offset by a decrease in average yield resulting from the continuing shift of ALC’s earning assets mix to a higher percentage of indirect sales loans relative to the loan portfolio total. Indirect sales lending has been ALC’s prominent focus over the past several years, and generally provides loans of higher credit quality than ALC’s other consumer loan categories, but at lower yields. Interest income from other earnings assets, including taxable and tax-exempt investment securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in banks, increased by $0.1 million comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher yields in most earning asset categories.

Interest expense increased comparing the three months ended March 31, 2019 to the corresponding period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulting from the acquisition of TPB. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $136.6 million comparing the two periods. To a lesser extent, the increase in interest expense was also attributable to the increased interest rate environment comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018. Consistent with the prevailing interest rate environment, the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 40 basis points comparing the two periods.

Table of Contents

We expect that continued growth in net loan volume at both the Bank and ALC with loans of sufficient credit quality will enhance net interest income, particularly as resources are shifted from lower-earning excess cash balances, federal funds sold and investment securities into higher-earning loan balances. However, the competitive environment is significant relative to the generation of loans of high credit quality. At both the Bank and ALC, management is continuing to focus efforts on new loan origination within the parameters of established credit policy, while also maintaining vigilance in the deployment of strategies to effectively manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the Bank experiences significant competitive pressure to both obtain and retain deposits. In recent quarters, the general interest rate environment has resulted in increasing deposit rates. Net interest income could experience downward pressure as a result of increased competition for quality loan and deposit funding opportunities.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses is an expense used to establish the allowance for loan and lease losses. Actual losses, net of recoveries, are charged directly to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The expense recorded for each reporting period is a reflection of actual net losses experienced during the period and management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The following table presents the provision for loan and lease losses for the Bank and ALC for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
|  |  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Bank |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 39 |
ALC |  |  | 400 |  |  |  | 619 |
Total |  | $ | 400 |  |  | $ | 658 |

At the Bank, the decrease in provision expense comparing the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was due to a reduction in loan volume during the first quarter of 2019 that was not experienced during the first quarter of 2018. The reduction in loan volume during the first quarter of 2019 resulted primarily from the scheduled payoff of one significant loan relationship, coupled with an overall soft market in commercial lending during the quarter. The Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans totaled 0.67% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 0.96% as of March 31, 2018. The decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was due to the acquisition of TPB that occurred during the third quarter of 2018. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for acquisition accounting, the loans acquired through the TPB acquisition were recorded at fair value; accordingly, there was no allowance for loan and lease losses associated with the acquired loan portfolio at the acquisition date. Management continues to evaluate the need for an allowance on the acquired portfolio, factoring in the remaining fair value discount on the loans, which totaled $1.6 million, or 1.13% of gross purchased loans, as of March 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, management reapportioned approximately $0.1 million of the allowance for loan and lease losses on the Bank’s portfolio of non-purchased loans to the allowance on the acquired portfolio. Following this reapportionment, the allowance on purchased loans combined with the fair value discount totaled $1.7 million, or 1.18% of the gross purchased loans balance, as of March 31, 2019. At the Bank, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of non-purchased gross loans outstanding was 1.01% as of March 31, 2019.

At ALC, the provision for loan and lease losses decreased comparing the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, primarily due to slower growth during the first quarter of 2019 in ALC’s indirect sales lending portfolio compared to the first quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the indirect sales portfolio increased by $1.7 million, compared to an increase of $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2018. ALC’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans totaled 2.19% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 2.26% as of December 31, 2018 and 2.40% as of March 31, 2018. The decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was due to the changing mix of ALC’s portfolio to indirect lending, which has enhanced the credit quality of ALC’s loan portfolio.

For the Company, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans totaled 0.97% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 1.35% as of March 31, 2018. As discussed above, the decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was due to the acquisition of TPB that occurred during the third quarter of 2018. For the Company, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of non-purchased gross loans outstanding was 1.34% as of March 31, 2019. Based on our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe that the allowance for loan and lease losses at both the Bank and ALC is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2019. While we believe that the methodologies and calculations that have been used in the determination of the allowance are adequate, our conclusions are based on estimates and judgments. Factors beyond our control, such as changes in economic conditions impacting the national economy or the local service areas in which the Bank and ALC operate, may negatively and materially affect asset quality and the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, as well as the resulting provision for loan and lease losses. In general, we expect the provision for loan and lease losses to increase commensurate with growth in loan volume at both the Bank and ALC.

Non-interest income at the Bank consists of service charges and other fees on deposit accounts; bank-owned life insurance; net gains on the sale and prepayment of investment securities; mortgage fees from the secondary market; lease income; and other non-interest income, which includes fee income generated by the Bank, such as ATM fees and real estate rental income. Non-interest income at ALC consists of credit insurance commissions and fees and other non-interest income generated for ancillary services, such as ALC’s auto club membership program. The increase in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was mostly attributable to rental income of $0.2 million associated with the lease-up of remaining unused office space at the Company’s headquarters location in Birmingham, Alabama. Lease-up of the space occurred at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, and, accordingly, the first quarter of 2019 represents the first full quarter of lease earnings. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in credit insurance commissions and fees at ALC during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Certain categories of non-interest income are expected to provide a relatively stable source of revenues, while others may fluctuate significantly based on changes in economic conditions, regulation or other factors.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense represents expenses incurred from sources other than interest-bearing liabilities. The following table presents the major components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |  |  |  |  |
Salaries and employee benefits |  | $ | 4,988 |  |  | $ | 4,567 |  |  | $ | 421 |  |  |  | 9.2 | %
Net occupancy and equipment expense |  |  | 1,089 |  |  |  | 889 |  |  |  | 200 |  |  |  | 22.5 | %
Computer services |  |  | 351 |  |  |  | 292 |  |  |  | 59 |  |  |  | 20.2 | %
Insurance expense and assessments |  |  | 281 |  |  |  | 186 |  |  |  | 95 |  |  |  | 51.1 | %
Fees for professional services |  |  | 242 |  |  |  | 273 |  |  |  | (31 | ) |  |  | (11.4 | )%
Postage, stationery and supplies |  |  | 238 |  |  |  | 212 |  |  |  | 26 |  |  |  | 12.3 | %
Telephone/data communication |  |  | 213 |  |  |  | 195 |  |  |  | 18 |  |  |  | 9.2 | %
Other real estate/foreclosure expense: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Write-downs, net of gain or loss on sale |  |  | 30 |  |  |  | (51 | ) |  |  | 81 |  |  |  | (158.8 | )%
Carrying costs |  |  | 28 |  |  |  | 40 |  |  |  | (12 | ) |  |  | (30.0 | )%
Total other real estate/foreclosure expense |  |  | 58 |  |  |  | (11 | ) |  |  | 69 |  |  |  | (627.3 | )%
Other |  |  | 993 |  |  |  | 698 |  |  |  | 295 |  |  |  | 42.3 | %
Total non-interest expense |  | $ | 8,453 |  |  | $ | 7,301 |  |  | $ | 1,152 |  |  |  | 15.8 | %

The increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was attributable primarily to additional salaries and benefits, occupancy and other expenses associated with the addition of employees, facilities and other services in connection with the acquisition of TPB in the third quarter of 2018. In general, non-interest expense is expected to increase over time due to inflationary pressures; however, management continues to maintain vigilance in efforts to reduce these costs where opportunities to do so exist.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.1% and 16.4%, respectively, for the same periods. The increase in the effective tax rate resulted from an increase in the amount of taxable income earned by the Company comparing the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2018.

The effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate based on recurring items, such as changes in tax-exempt interest income earned from bank-qualified municipal bonds and loans and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Management makes decisions about whether to invest in tax-exempt instruments on a case-by-case basis after considering a number of factors, including investment return, credit quality and the consistency of such investments with the Company’s overall strategy. The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate commensurate with the level of these investments as compared to total pre-tax income.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is used by management to provide liquidity, to generate interest income and for use as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding. Risk and return can be adjusted by altering the duration, composition and/or balance of the portfolio. The expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 2.9 years as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2019, available-for-sale securities totaled $127.2 million, or 85.9% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $132.5 million, or 86.1% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2018. Available-for-sale securities consisted of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of state and political subdivisions.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and represent securities that the Company both intends and has the ability to hold to maturity. As of March 31, 2019, held-to-maturity securities totaled $20.8 million, or 14.1% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $21.5 million, or 13.9% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2018. Held-to-maturity securities consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by 0.2% to $703.4 million as of March 31, 2019, from $704.7 million as of December 31, 2018. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more, provide a relatively stable funding source that supports earning assets. Core deposits totaled $648.3 million, or 92.2% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2019, compared to $634.1 million, or 90.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2018.

Deposits, in particular core deposits, have historically been the Company’s primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to successfully meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that such deposits will continue to be one of the Company’s primary sources of funding in the future, and we will continue to monitor deposit levels closely to help ensure an adequate level of funding for the Company’s activities. However, various economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source in the future, including increased competition from other financial institutions in deposit gathering, national and local economic conditions and interest rate policies adopted by the Federal Reserve and other central banks.

Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Other interest-bearing liabilities consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances. This category continues to be utilized as an alternative source of funds. During the first quarter of 2019, these borrowings represented 0.1% of average interest-bearing liabilities, compared to 5.4% in the first quarter of 2018.

Shareholders’ Equity

The Company has historically placed significant emphasis on maintaining its strong capital base. As of March 31, 2019, shareholders’ equity totaled $81.6 million, or 10.3% of total assets, compared to $79.4 million, or 10.0% of total assets, as of December 31, 2018. Management believes that this level of equity is an indicator of the financial soundness of the Company and the Company’s ability to sustain future growth and profitability. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the period ended March 31, 2019 resulted primarily from growth in retained earnings and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with unrealized losses in the fair value of available-for-sale securities during the first quarter of 2019. The fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio fluctuates based primarily on changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the net unrealized losses during the first quarter of 2019 are not necessarily indicative of future performance of the portfolio.

Bancshares’ Board of Directors evaluates dividend payments based on the Company’s level of earnings and our desire to maintain a strong capital base, as well as regulatory requirements relating to the payment of dividends. During both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Bancshares declared a dividend of $0.02 per common share, or approximately $0.1 million in aggregate amount.

As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company retained approximately $20.4 million in treasury stock. The Company initiated a share repurchase program in January 2006, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 642,785 shares of Bancshares’ common stock before December 31, 2007. In December 2007, and in each year since, the Board of Directors has extended the expiration date of the share repurchase program for an additional year. Currently, the share repurchase program is set to expire on December 31, 2019. There are 242,303 shares available for repurchase under this program, at management’s discretion. No shares were repurchased under this program to date in 2019 or in 2018.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, a total of 119,380 and 116,766 shares of stock, respectively, were deferred in connection with Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash or shares of Bancshares common stock. All deferred fees, whether in the form of cash or shares of Bancshares common stock, are reflected as compensation expense in the period earned. The Company classifies all deferred directors’ fees allocated to be paid in shares of stock as equity surplus. The Company may use issued shares or shares of treasury stock to satisfy these obligations when due.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily from two sources: (1) principal payments and maturities of loans and (2) principal payments and maturities from the investment portfolio. Other short-term investments, such as federal funds sold, may also provide additional sources of liquidity. Loans maturing or repricing in one year or less amounted to $158.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and $75.2 million as of December 31, 2018. Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice in one year or less were estimated to be $9.4 million and $8.1 million of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Although some securities in the investment portfolio have legal final maturities exceeding 10 years, a substantial percentage of the portfolio provides monthly principal and interest payments and consists of securities that are readily marketable and easily convertible into cash on short notice. As of March 31, 2019, the investment securities portfolio had an estimated average life of 2.9 years. However, management does not rely solely upon the investment portfolio to generate cash flows to fund loans, capital expenditures, dividends, debt repayment and other cash requirements. These activities are also funded by cash flows from loan payments, as well as increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, which represent the Company’s primary sources of funds. In addition, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term and long-term borrowings are additional sources of available liquidity. Liquidity management involves the continual monitoring of the sources and uses of funds to maintain an acceptable cash position. Long-term liquidity management focuses on considerations related to the total balance sheet structure. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. In addition, the Bank invests in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under FHLB advances. The Company had up to $237.5 million and $282.2 million in remaining unused credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral) as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company had $72.1 million and $72.2 million in unused established federal funds lines as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to more than cover its contractual obligations and commitments over the next twelve months. Management is not aware of any condition that currently exists that would have an adverse effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operation of the Company.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary purpose of managing interest rate risk is to invest capital effectively and preserve the value created by our core banking business. This is accomplished through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize net interest income performance under varying interest rate environments, subject to liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines. Effective interest rate sensitivity management ensures that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable time frame, thereby minimizing the effect of such interest rate movements on short- and long-term net interest margin and net interest income.

Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by the Asset/Liability Committee of the Bank’s board of directors to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of scenarios, management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact on net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. In these simulations, assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of the Company’s balance sheet resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior. Simulation models also incorporate management’s assumptions regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates.

Measuring Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of all of the Company’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. These repricing characteristics are the timeframes during which the interest-bearing assets and liabilities are subject to fluctuation based on changes in interest rates, either at replacement or maturity, during the life of the instruments. Measuring interest rate sensitivity is a function of the differences in the volume of assets and the volume of liabilities that are subject to repricing in future time periods. These differences are known as interest sensitivity gaps and are usually calculated for segments of time and on a cumulative basis.

The Company measures changes in net interest income and net interest margin on a monthly basis through income simulation over various interest rate shock scenarios, including plus or minus 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% scenarios. Each month, management evaluates how changes in short- and long-term interest rates may impact future profitability, as reflected in the Company’s net interest margin.

Also on a monthly basis, management calculates how changes in interest rates would impact the market value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, as well as its long-term profitability. The process is similar to assessing short-term risk but emphasizes and is measured over a five-year time period, which allows for a more comprehensive assessment of longer-term repricing and cash flow imbalances that may not be captured by short-term net interest margin simulations. The results of these calculations are representative of long-term interest rate risk, both in terms of changes in the present value of the Company’s assets and liabilities and long-term changes in core profitability.

See Part II, Item 7A, “ Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of Bancshares' Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional disclosures related to market risk. Management’s evaluation as of March 31, 2019 did not indicate any significant increase in the Company’s exposure to market risk from that disclosed as of December 31, 2018.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Bancshares maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Bancshares’ management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Bancshares’ management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2019, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, Bancshares’ management concluded, as of March 31, 2019, that Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
