PEOPLE’S UTAH BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

People’s Utah Bancorp, Inc. (“PUB” or the “Company”) is a Utah corporation headquartered in American Fork, Utah. The Company’s subsidiary is People’s Intermountain Bank (“PIB” or the “Bank”), which includes two banking divisions doing business as (“dba”) Bank of American Fork (“BAF”) and Lewiston State Bank (“LSB”) and an equipment leasing division dba GrowthFunding Equipment Finance. BAF and LSB have over 100 years of history and will continue to do business as registered names of PIB.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its subsidiary Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 which are included in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or any other period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure, deferred tax assets, and share-based compensation.

Earnings per share — Basic earnings per common share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares includes shares that may be issued by the Company for outstanding stock options determined using the treasury stock method and for all outstanding restricted stock units (“RSU”).

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)	2016		2015		2016		2015

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – Continued

Impact of Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance — The Financial Accountings Standard Board issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments such as loans and held-to-maturity securities that are measured at amortized cost. The standard requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction of the carrying amount. It also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The standard retains many of the current disclosure requirements in current GAAP and expands certain disclosure requirements. While we expect this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, we are still in the process of conducting our evaluation. The standard will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investment securities that are available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at June 30, 2016, by contractual maturity, are as follows:

	Available-for-sale				Held-to-maturity
	Amortized		Fair		Amortized		Fair

	$	278,333	$	280,705	$	61,437	$	62,050

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call obligations with or without penalties.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held 80 and 234 investment securities, respectively, with fair values less than amortized cost. Management evaluated these investment securities and determined that the decline in value is temporary and related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any company or industry specific event. The Company anticipates full recovery of the amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment.

A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructured loan (“TDR”), if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession in terms or a below-market interest rate to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Each TDR loan is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower’s prospective ability to service the debt as modified.

Credit Quality Indicators:

In addition to past due and non-accrual criteria, the Company also analyzes loans using a loan grading system. Performance-based grading follows the Company’s definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications.

Definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful are summarized as follows:

Pass: A Pass asset is higher quality and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered remote.

Special Mention: A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that may be temporary or, if left uncorrected, may result in a loss. While concerns exist, the Company is currently protected and loss is considered unlikely and not imminent.

Substandard: A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have well defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: A Doubtful asset has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable.

For Consumer loans, the Company generally assigns internal risk grades similar to those described above based on payment performance.

Loans and Deposits to affiliates — The Company has entered into loan transactions with certain directors, affiliated companies and executive committee members (“affiliates”). Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. Total outstanding loans with affiliates were approximately $322,000 and $48,000 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Available lines of credit for loans and credit cards to affiliates were approximately $544,000 as of June 30, 2016. Deposits held by affiliates were $9.8 million and $7.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Note 4 — Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $6.3 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 36.8% and 34.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation contingencies— The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and complaints which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Commitments to extend credit — In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and unused credit card lines, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and unused credit card lines is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contractual amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments were as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015
Commitments to extend credit, including unsecured commitments of $13,093 and $12,869 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively	$	437,558	$	382,928
Stand-by letters of credit and bond commitments, including unsecured commitments of $3,321 and $1,391 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively		35,767		36,333
Unused credit card lines, all unsecured		26,430		25,512

Commitments to extend credit are agreements 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. The commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unused credit card lines are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Note 6 — Regulatory Capital Matters

The consolidated Tier 1 Leverage ratio increased from 13.42% at December 31, 2015 to 14.0% as of June 30, 2016. Federal Reserve Board Regulations require maintenance of certain minimum reserve balances based on certain average deposits which as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $8.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively. The Company’s Board of Directors may declare a cash or stock dividend out of retained earnings provided the regulatory minimum capital ratios are met. The Company plans to maintain capital ratios that meet the well-capitalized standards per the regulations and, therefore, plans to limit dividends to amounts that are appropriate to maintain those well-capitalized regulatory capital ratios.

Note 7 — Shareholders’ Equity

The Board of Directors began declaring quarterly dividends in 2015. Dividends on quarterly earnings are generally declared and paid subsequent to the end of the quarter.

Note 8 — Incentive Share-Based Plan and Other Employee Benefits

In June 2014, the Board of Directors (“Board”) and shareholders of the Company approved a share-based incentive plan (“the Plan”). The Plan provides for various share-based incentive awards including incentive share-based options, non-qualified share-based options, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights to be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 800,000 common shares. The share-based awards are granted to participants under the Plan at a price not less than the fair value on the date of grant and for terms of up to ten years. The Plan also allows for granting of share-based awards to directors and consultants who are not employees of the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted options for the purchase of 73,844 common shares, which have a weighted average exercise price of $15.51 per share and a weighted average fair value as of the date of grant of $2.25 per share. The options generally vest over periods from one to three years. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $252,000 and $218,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 9 — Fair Value

Fair value measurements — Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, GAAP has established a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3	Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Note 9 — Fair Value – Continued

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation methodology:

Investment securities, available for sale — Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. Level 1 includes securities that have quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows, and accordingly, are classified as Level 2 or 3. The Company has categorized its available-for-sale investment securities as Level 1 or 2.

Impaired loans and other real estate owned — Fair value applies to loans and other real estate owned measured for impairment. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price (if available) or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. The Company has categorized its impaired loans and other real estate owned as Level 2.

Note 9 — Fair Value – Continued

Fair value of financial instruments — The following table summarizes carrying amounts, estimated fair values and assumptions used to estimate fair values of financial instruments:

	Carrying		Estimated
(in thousands)	Value		Fair Value
As of December 31, 2015
Financial Assets:
Net loans held for investment	$	1,032,418	$	1,029,540
Financial Liabilities:
Interest bearing deposits		900,677		901,211

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016 were not presented because the assumptions used to estimate fair values have not changed significantly from those used at December 31, 2015.

The above summary excludes financial assets and liabilities for which carrying value approximates fair value. For financial assets, these include cash and cash equivalents, held-to-maturity securities (see Note 2), loans held for sale, bank-owned life insurance, accrued interest receivable and FHLB stock. For financial liabilities, these include non-interest bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest payable. Also excluded from the summary are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as previously described.

Fair values of off-balance sheet commitments such as lending commitments, standby letters of credit and guarantees are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of the fees as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were insignificant.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Net loans — The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows and estimated prepayments using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term. Some loan types were valued at carrying value because of their floating rate or expected maturity characteristics.

Interest bearing deposits — The fair value of interest bearing deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the above methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the applicable disclosure requirements. Therefore, the fair value amounts shown in the table do not, by themselves, represent the underlying value of the Company as a whole.

Overview

We are a bank holding company, formed in 1998 and headquartered in American Fork, Utah, which is located on the I-15 corridor between the cities of Salt Lake City and Provo. We have three divisions in our wholly-owned subsidiary, People’s Intermountain Bank (“PIB” or the “Bank”). We have 18 banking locations operating through two banking divisions, dba, BAF and LSB, which began offering banking services in 1913 and 1905, respectively. Our third division is GrowthFunding Equipment Finance, an equipment leasing operation which originates direct equipment leasing products to businesses nationwide and to our banking customers. In the past we have acquired rental streams of payments from third-party leasing companies. We provide full-service retail banking in many of the leading population centers in the state of Utah, including a wide range of banking and related services to locally-owned businesses, professional firms, real estate developers, residential home builders, high net-worth individuals, investors and other customers. Our primary customers are small and medium-sized businesses that require highly personalized commercial banking products and services.

We believe our growth is a result of our ability to attract and retain high-quality associates, add branches in attractive markets and provide good customer service, as well as due to the expansion of our construction, land acquisition and development and commercial and industrial lending. The primary source of funding for our asset growth has been the generation of core deposits, which we accomplish through a combination of competitive pricing for local deposits coupled with expansion of our branch system. We plan to open two new branches, one in the latter half of 2016 and the other branch in the second quarter of 2017.

Our results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income we earn on interest earning assets, which are comprised of loans, investment securities and short-term investments and the interest we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits, and, to a lesser extent, other borrowings. Deposits are our primary source of funding. Management strives to match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.

We measure our performance by calculating our net interest margin, return on average assets, and return on average equity. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, by average interest earning assets. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. We also measure our performance by our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less merger-related costs, if applicable, by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.

Key Factors in Evaluating Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As a bank holding company, we focus on a number of key factors in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations including:

•

Return on average equity;

•

Return on average assets;

•

Asset quality;

•

Asset growth;

•

Capital and liquidity;

•

Net interest margin; and

•

Operating efficiency.

The chart below shows these key financial measures:

	Year to Date
	June 30,			June 30,
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)	2016			2015
Net income	$	10,820		$	9,462

Diluted earnings per share		0.60			0.61
Total assets		1,583,016			1,488,859
Total loans, net		1,091,591			985,089
Total deposits		1,346,363			1,274,790
Net interest margin		4.63	%		4.43	%
Efficiency ratio		58.32	%		60.24	%
Return on average assets		1.40	%		1.36	%
Return on average equity		10.07	%		11.46	%
Average equity to average assets		13.89	%		11.83	%
Non-performing assets to total assets		0.38	%		0.62	%
Liquidity ratio ⁽¹⁾		28.81	%		32.09	%
Dividend Payout Ratio (2)		23.00	%		9.40	%

(1)

The liquidity ratio is the sum of cash equivalents and investment securities, less investment securities pledged as collateral against short-term borrowings, all divided by total liabilities. Pledged investment securities were $36.1 million and $38.2 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(2)

The dividend payout ratio is dividends declared divided by net income for the period. During the year-to-date period in 2015 only one quarterly dividend was declared.

Return on Average Equity. We measure the return to our shareholders through a return on average equity, or ROE, calculation. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 14.4% to $10.8 million from $9.5 million for the comparable period in 2015. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased primarily due to an increase to net loans from loan growth, a higher net interest margin, a lower loan loss provision, an increase in non-interest income, and offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense. Basic earnings per share, or EPS, was $0.61 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.63 for the comparable period in 2015. Diluted EPS was $0.60 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.61 per share for the comparable period in 2015. Earnings per share was impacted by a 2.7 million or 18.0% increase in weighted average shares resulting from our initial public offering (“IPO”) in June 2015. Our ROE decreased to 10.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 11.46% for the comparable period in 2015 due primarily from the additional equity of $34.9 million from our IPO. Future returns on average equity may be impacted by the additional equity from the IPO.

Return on Average Assets. We measure asset utilization through a return on average assets, or ROA, calculation. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 our ROA increased to 1.40% compared to 1.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in ROA is a result of improved operating results as discussed thoughout this Management’s Discussion & Analysis.

Asset Quality. Since the majority of our performing assets are loans, we measure asset quality in terms of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets. This measurement is used in determining asset quality and its potential effect on future earnings. Due to improving asset quality, non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.38% as of June 30, 2016 compared to 0.62% as

of June 30, 2015. Nonperforming assets are loans that are 90 days or more past due or have been placed on nonaccrual status, or are other real estate owned, or OREO.

Asset Growth. Revenue growth and EPS are directly related to earning assets growth. In descending order, our earning assets are loans, investments (including federal funds) and interest earning balances. As of June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015, total assets grew 6.3%, total net loans increased by 10.8% and interest-earning cash equivalents combined with investment securities declined by 5.8%. Loan growth in 2016 came primarily from the increased level of real estate lending activities.

Capital and Liquidity. Maintaining appropriate capital and liquidity levels is imperative for us to continue our strong growth levels. We have been successful in maintaining capital levels well above the minimum regulatory requirements, which we believe has enabled our growth strategy. We raised approximately $34.9 million in new capital from our IPO. We plan to utilize the additional capital for expansion purposes, both organic and through acquisition, and for general corporate purposes. Our average equity to average assets ratio as of June 30, 2016 was 13.89% compared to 11.83% as of June 30, 2015. We monitor liquidity levels to ensure we have adequate sources available to fund our loan growth and to accommodate daily operations. The key measure we use to monitor liquidity is our liquidity ratio which is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus unpledged investment securities divided by total liabilities. Our liquidity ratio was 28.81% as of June 30, 2016, compared to 32.09% as of June 30, 2015.

Net Interest Margin. Net interest margin is a metric that allows us to gauge our loan pricing and funding cost relationship. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our net interest margin was 4.63% and 4.43%, respectively. The improvement in net interest margin is attributable primarily to a higher loan volume which contributed to a higher percentage of loans in our earning asset mix, higher loan yields and lower costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

Operating Efficiency. Operating efficiency is the measure of how much it costs us to generate each dollar of revenue. A lower percentage indicates a better operating efficiency. Our efficiency ratio is calculated as the sum of non-interest expense less merger related expenses, if applicable, divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income and was 58.32% for the six months ended June 30, as compared to 60.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Results of Operations

Factors that determine the level of net income include the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, yields earned and rates paid, fee income, non-interest expense, the level of non-performing loans and other non-earning assets, and the amount of non-interest bearing liabilities supporting earning assets. Non-interest income primarily includes service charges and other fees on deposits, and mortgage banking income. Non-interest expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, equipment and depreciation expense, and other operating expenses.

Average Balance and Yields. The following tables set forth a summary of average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense as well as average yield, cost and net interest margin information for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances. Average non-accrual loans are derived from quarterly balances and are included as non-interest earning assets for purposes of these tables.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) increased $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to same period in 2015. The increase in interest income was primarily driven by increased organic loan volumes. Additional increases in interest income from slightly higher loan yields were offset by lower average rates on investment securities. Additionally, interest expense also decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due principally to lower deposit interest rates.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) increased $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to same period in 2015. The increase in interest income was primarily driven by increased organic loan volumes. Additional increases in interest income from slightly higher loan yields were offset by lower average rates on investment securities. Additionally, interest expense also decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due primarily from lower deposit interest rates.

Net income	$	5,577	$	4,664	$	913			19.6	%

Net Income. Our net income grew by $913,000 or 19.6% to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $4.7 million for the same quarter in 2015. This was attributable principally to an increase in net interest income of $2.3 million, a lower loan loss provision of $225,000, higher non-interest income of $255,000, and offset by an increase of $917,000 in non-interest expenses and $958,000 of higher income tax expense.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. The increase in net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same quarter in 2015 was primarily driven by interest earned on a higher volume in average loans attributable to organic growth. An increase in interest income from slightly higher loan yields was offset by a decrease from lower yields on investment securities. Interest expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 decreased from the same period in 2015 due to lower rates paid on deposits.

The tax-equivalent yield on our average interest earning assets was 4.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to 4.75% for the comparable quarter in 2015. The cost of funding our earning assets declined in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 0.31% from 0.33% in the comparable quarter in 2015 because of lower rates paid on deposits and accretion of fair value adjustments to certificates of deposit.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses in each period is a charge against earnings in that period. The provision is that amount required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $225,000 and $450,000, respectively. We have experienced improving credit quality in our loan portfolio and experienced a net recovery of $204,000 compared to net charge-offs of $92,000 in the comparable quarter in 2015. The provision for loan losses in both periods was primarily due to relative increases in loan balances.

Non-interest Income. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest income:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		$ Change			% Change
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	531	$	614	$	(83	)		-13.5	%

Other operating		454		438		16			3.7	%
Total non-interest income	$	4,398	$	4,143	$	255			6.2	%

The increase in total non-interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same quarter in 2015 was primarily influenced by higher mortgage banking income from higher mortgage volumes, offset by lower service charges on deposit accounts primarily due to reduced volume of processed and returned items in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Expense. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest expense:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,

Total non-interest expense	$	12,400	$	11,483	$	917			8.0	%

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 increased $917,000 compared to the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits of $0.7 million and various other expenses of $0.2 million, including expenses related to higher occupancy, marketing and other costs. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to annual salary increases, higher payroll tax and medical benefits, new hires related to the expansion of our leasing division, and variable compensation costs to support our balance sheet and income growth.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision of $3.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 37.9% compared to 34.4% in the second quarter of 2015. The tax rate in 2016 is higher than 2015 due primarily to a one-time tax credit of approximately $400,000 in 2015 and due to adjustments in the expected recoverability of certain tax credits in 2016.

Financial Overview for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

	Six Months Ended

Net income	$	10,820	$	9,462	$	1,358			14.4	%

Net Income. Our net income grew by $1.4 million or 14.4% to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2015. This was attributable principally to an increase in net interest income of $4.5 million, a lower loan loss provision expense of $175,000, offset by a decline in non-interest income of $126,000, an increase of $1.8 million in non-interest expenses and $1.4 million of higher income tax expense.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily driven by interest earned on a higher volume in average loans attributable to internal growth, which contributed to a higher mix of loans in our earning assets portfolio. An increase in interest income from higher loan yields was offset by a decrease from lower yields on investment securities. Interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2016 declined from the same period in 2015 due to lower rates paid on deposits.

The tax-equivalent yield on our average interest earning assets was 4.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 4.72% for the comparable quarter in 2015. The cost of funding our earning assets declined in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to

0.32% from 0.34% in the comparable period in 2015 because of lower rates paid on deposits and accretion of fair value adjustments to certificates of deposit.

The provision for loan losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $425,000 and $600,000, respectively. We have experienced improving credit quality in our loan portfolio and experienced a net recovery of $170,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net charge-offs of $96,000 in the comparable period in 2015. The provision for loan losses in both periods was primarily due to relative increases in loan balances.

Non-interest Income. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest income:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		$ Change			% Change

Total non-interest income	$	8,161	$	8,287	$	(126	)		-1.5	%

The increase in total non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily influenced by higher mortgage banking income from higher mortgage volumes, offset by lower service charges on deposit accounts primarily due to reduced volume of processed and returned items in the six month period ended 2016. The six months ended June 30, 2015 included a gain of approximately $330,000 on the sale of other foreclosed assets during the period.

Non-interest Expense. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of non-interest expense:

	Six Months Ended

Total non-interest expense	$	24,535	$	22,702	$	1,833			8.1	%

Non-interest expense for the six months ended 2016 increased $1.8 million compared to the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits of $1.3 million and various other expenses of $0.5 million, including expenses related primarily to higher occupancy, card processing, marketing and other expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to annual salary increases, higher payroll tax and medical benefits, new hires related to the expansion of our leasing division, and variable compensation costs to support our balance sheet and income growth.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision of $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2015. The effective tax rate for the six months of 2016 was 36.8% compared to 34.2% in the comparable period of 2015. The tax rate in 2016 is higher than 2015 due primarily to a one-time tax credit of approximately $400,000 in 2015 and due to adjustments in the expected recoverability of certain tax credits in 2016.

We originate certain residential mortgage loans for sale to investors that are carried at cost. Due to the short period held, generally less than 90 days, we consider these loans held for sale to be carried at fair value.

The following tables show the amounts of outstanding loans, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, were due in one year or less, more than one year through five years, and more than five years. Lines of credit or other loans having no stated maturity and no stated schedule of repayments are reported as due in one year or less. In the table below, loans are classified as real estate related if they are collateralized by real estate. The tables also present, for loans with maturities over one year, an analysis with respect to fixed interest rate loans and adjustable interest rate loans.

Contractual maturities as of June 30, 2016 are as follows:

⁽¹⁾	The sum of adjustable rate loans maturing after one year and total loans maturing within one year is $808 million or 73.4% of total loans at June 30, 2016.

Concentrations. As of June 30, 2016, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in real estate related loans. At that date, real estate related loans comprised 79.7% of total loans held for investment, of which commercial real estate represents 53.8%, 19.4% are construction and land development loans, and 6.5% are residential and home equity loans. We require collateral on real estate lending arrangements and typically maintain loan-to-value ratios of up to 80%, except for some residential construction loans of up to 95% loan-to-value provided the loan includes pre-approved long-term financing. Although our concentration in commercial and industrial loans has decreased to 19.0% as of June 30, 2016 from 19.8% as of December 31, 2015, we have been changing our loan portfolio mix since 2011 resulting in an increase in our concentration of commercial and industrial loans from 15.1% as of December 31, 2011.

Non-Performing Assets. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more past due or at such earlier time as management determines timely recognition of interest to be in doubt. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collection efforts, and the borrower’s financial condition, that the borrower will be unable to make payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received, or payment is considered certain. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table summarizes the loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, including those non-accrual loans that are troubled-debt restructured loans, and OREO:

Selected ratios:
NPL to total loans		0.50	%		0.72	%
NPA to total assets		0.38	%		0.51	%

⁽¹⁾	We estimate that approximately $190,000 and $453,000 of interest income would have been recognized on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively, had such loans performed pursuant to contractual terms.

⁽²⁾	As of December 31, 2015, non-performing assets had not been reduced by U.S. government guarantees of $437,000. There were no U.S. government guarantees related to non-performing assets as of June 30, 2016.

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that we will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.

In determining whether or not a loan is impaired, we consider payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans for which an insignificant shortfall in amount of payments is anticipated, but where we expect to collect all amounts due, are not considered impaired.

Troubled-debt Restructured Loans. A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructured loan, or TDR, if we, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grant a concession in terms or a below-market interest rate to the debtor that we would not otherwise consider. We had TDR loans of $7.7 million and $9.6 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Our TDR loans are considered impaired loans of which $1.6 million and $2.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are designated as non-accrual.

Each restructured debt is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower’s prospective ability to service the debt as modified.

OREO Properties. OREO represents real property taken either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. All OREO properties are recorded by us at amounts equal to or less than the fair market value of the properties based on current independent appraisals reduced by estimated selling costs. The following table provides a summary of the changes in the OREO balance:

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, or ALLL, based on a comprehensive methodology that assesses the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our ALLL is based on a continuing review of loans which includes consideration of actual loss experience, changes in the size and character of the portfolio, identification of individual problem situations which may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, evaluations of the prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, and other qualitative factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Our ALLL is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). While we use available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future years.

The ALLL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans determined to be impaired that are individually evaluated for impairment. For impaired loans individually evaluated, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or the fair value of the collateral if the loans are collateral-dependent, of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component covers all loans not individually evaluated for impairment and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Various qualitative factors are considered including changes to underwriting policies, loan concentrations, volume and mix of loans, size and complexity of individual credits, locations of credits and new market areas, changes in local and national economic conditions, and trends in past due, non-accrual and classified loan balances.

The following table sets forth the activity in our allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

The decrease in ALLL as a percentage of total loans from 2015 to 2016 is attributable to overall improvement in the credit quality of the underlying loan portfolio.

Our construction and land development portfolio reflects some borrower concentration risk, and also carries the enhanced risks encountered with construction loans generally. We also finance contractors on a speculative basis. Construction and land development loans are generally more risky than permanent mortgage loans because they are dependent upon the borrower’s ability to generate cash to service the loan, and the value of the collateral depends on project completion when market conditions may have changed.

Our commercial real estate loans are a mixture of new and seasoned properties, retail, office, warehouse, and some industrial properties. Loans on properties are usually underwritten at a loan to value ratio of up to 75% with a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times.

Our loan portfolio does not include any significant concentrations in oil and gas related businesses.

We allocate our allowance for loan losses by assigning general percentages to our major loan categories (construction and land development, commercial real estate term, residential real estate, C&I and consumer), assigning specific percentages to each category of loans graded in accordance with the guidelines established by our regulatory agencies, and making specific allocations to impaired loans when factors are present requiring a greater reserve than would be required using the assigned risk rating allocation, which is typically based on a review of appraisals or other collateral analysis.

The following table indicates management’s allocation of the ALLL and the percent of loans in each category to total loans as of each of the following dates:

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call obligations with or without penalties.

We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on an annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1.35 billion as of June 30, 2016 and $1.31 billion as of December 31, 2015. The increase in total deposits is attributed primarily to our growth in existing markets and entering into new markets. Non-interest bearing demand deposits were $430.0 million, or 31.9% of total deposits as of June 30, 2016 compared to 31.2% as of December 31, 2015. Interest bearing deposits are comprised of money market accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit of under $100,000 and certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.

The following table shows the average amount and average rate paid on the categories of deposits for each of the periods presented:

Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships and corporations in our market areas. The interest rates paid are competitively priced for each particular deposit product and structured to meet our funding requirements. We will continue to manage interest expense through deposit pricing.

Shareholders’ Equity

As of June 30, 2016, our shareholders’ equity totaled $220.4 million, an increase of $11.0 million or 5.3% since December 31, 2015. The increase in shareholders’ equity for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to net income of $10.8 million for the period less dividends declared of $2.5 million, and the increase of $1.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive income.

We began paying quarterly dividends in 2015 with the dividend being declared after the end of each quarter. Dividends of $0.14 per share were declared during the six months ended June 30, 2016 representing 23.0% of the net income for the same period. Future cash dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including net income, capital, asset quality, general economic conditions and regulatory considerations.

Capital Resources

Since January 2015, we have been subject to new risk-based capital adequacy guidelines related to the adoption of U.S. Basel III Capital Rules which impose higher risk-based capital and leverage requirements than those previously in place. Specifically, the rules impose, among other requirements, new minimum capital requirements including a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.0%, a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%. Since we only have common equity, our common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio are the same. Therefore, we only disclose our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio since it has a higher required ratio for minimum and well-capitalized banks.

The following table sets forth our capital ratios.

	Basel III

	Well Capitalized			PUB

Liquidity

The ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities is of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators. Our liquidity, represented by cash borrowing lines, federal funds and available-for-sale securities, is a result of our operating, investing and financing activities and related cash flows. In order to ensure funds are available at all times, we devote resources to projecting on a monthly basis the amount of funds that will be required and we maintain relationships with a diversified customer base so funds are accessible. Liquidity requirements can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets. We have borrowing lines at a correspondent bank totaling $25.0 million. We also have a current borrowing line with the FHLB, totaling $288.0 million as of June 30, 2016, which are secured by various real estate loans pledged as collateral totaling $459.9 million. Additionally, we have a borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of $19.6 million which is secured by $27.9 million of investment securities.

We believe our liquid assets are adequate to meet our cash flow needs for loan funding and deposit cash withdrawal for the next 60 to 90 days. As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $343.1 million in net liquid assets comprised of $86.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, including interest bearing deposits of $59.5 million and federal funds sold of $5.9 million, $280.7 million in available-for-sale securities and $11.9 million in loans held for sale, less $36.1 million pledged as collateral for short-term borrowings. We monitor liquidity measured by a liquidity ratio defined as cash and cash equivalents plus unpledged investment securities divided by total liabilities. Our liquidity ratio was 28.81% as of June 30, 2016 compared to 29.91% as of December 31, 2015.

On a long term basis, our liquidity will be met by changing the relative distribution of our asset portfolios by reducing our investment or loan volumes, or selling or encumbering assets. Further, we will increase liquidity by soliciting higher levels of deposit accounts through promotional activities and/or borrowing from our correspondent banks as well as the FHLB. At the current time, our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations and commitments and deposit withdrawals. All of these needs can currently be met by cash flows from investment payments and maturities, and investment sales if the need arises.

Our liquidity is comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from or used in operating activities; cash flows from or used in investing activities; and cash flows from or used in financing activities.

Net cash provided by or used in operating activities has consisted primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash income and expense items such as the loan loss provision, investment and other amortization and depreciation.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of real estate, commercial and consumer loans and purchases and sales of investment securities. As of June 30, 2016 we had outstanding loan commitments of $437.5 million and outstanding letters of credit of $35.8 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $11.0 million, principally because we paid down approximately $25 million in outstanding borrowings during the period.
